Outside Terny, a small town on the northern front.
Here Russia advanced 3 miles since October and is only a mile away from the town. If Terny falls then it couls force Ukraine over the river behind it.
Russia's lost 80+ armoured vehicles here and if they succeed they will get another tiny bite of land. Nuts.

153rd Mechanized Brigade is no longer mechanized. The lack of vehicles forced Ukrainian command to back down from the original plans. ... While the official reason behind the change remains undisclosed, it is presumably linked to the shortage of infantry fighting vehicles...Western partners are no longer supplying an adequate quantity of equipment to replenish existing mechanized brigades and form new ones.

New Ukrainian drone. The first one attacked a drone factory deep inside Russia but missed it, only hit a dormitory.

Hopefully some good news comes out regarding this attack. A Ukrainian source says planes were damaged, russian channels say no equipment was damaged. You'd expect that means shit got damaged except that one of the trustworthy Russian channels called FighterBomber said no damage. FighterBomber has admitted a lot of embarrassing russian losses before and I've never seen them be wrong. So IMO there's a good chance the attack didn't destroy any planes.

Not sure if this one is new or from 30th March.
Anyway, this is happening at so many places.
At least 86 Russian armoured fighting vehicles lost in a week.
Seems they're obviously trying to go for it before the Czech ammunition arrives.

No evidence of destroyed aircraft at the main airbase that was hit.
Ukraine really needs something like ATACMS that would be a big surprise.

Look how many people they got on that tank.
Knowing they've been losing 10+ armoured vehicles a day for a week or so, and they still don't have enough vehicles for what they'd really want.

Is what’s tracking them got no ammo? Dunno mate, but I'd guess no. I watched some drone builders explaining and they had three types: - kamikaze drones - bomber drones - spy drones It's £1k+ for a good camera etc so you don't put it on the £500 kamikazes. Bombs are heavy enough to cut your battery life by more than half. So the spy drones are often unarmed. If you want to see a beast though, look up the Baba Yaga drone. That one can do a bit of spying and a lot of bombing!

Russia is escalating against Kharkiv. A huge city and they're starting to smash it with glide bombs.
Ukraine needs weapons to shoot down jets at long range or strike back at Russian airbases.
It's hard to see where that will come from, especially with the republicans' pro-Putin blockade 😢

Western weakness and delays have encouraged Chinese support for russia.
Plus side is no weaponry we can see yet.

Russians took what looks like an expensive electronic warfare truck to a petrol station.
Nice hit

Russia's ongoing assault near Avdiivka has cost them over 860 frontline armoured vehicles including tanks versus ~100 Ukrainian losses.
One intel group has been buying satellite imagery of russian storage bases and says they will report soon on how much russia has left. It'll tell us roughly how long they can keep this up for.

Seen a lot of interviews with people from Africa and Asia who've joined the russian army.
This is bad news, but it's seemingly only a tiny fraction of the russian forces so far.

Where are we at now?
Everything just seems to be grinding along.
I just don’t understand how and when this ends.
Still seems surreal it’s actually happening.
All the videos on X, it’s bizarre. Like a computer game. Which is scary.

How much of this is actually true?
Obviously the wall came down in 89 not 92 but was the reunification of Germany really dependent on Gorbachev being given assurances that NATO wouldn't expand any further East?
Had Putin and Zelensky actually reached a deal before Johnson went out there?
Some interesting theories from Kennedy but are they just that, theories?

Ukraine is desperately low on Patriot missiles and only has 3 batteries. The US builds the systems and missiles, Europe has supposedly sent most of what it has.
Patriots are the longest range systems that could stop russian bombers, and they're the only weapon system we know can stop russian ballistic missiles.
The republicans' pro-Putin blockade means that most of Ukraine is now defenceless against those missiles. Russia is destroying every Ukrainian power station, it's a humanitarian disaster.
American Republicans are doing this on purpose. They knew this would happen when they started their blockade almost 7 months ago.

Like a computer game. Which is scary. Ukrainian soldiers with NATO tech are better than Russians, and the West's plan was to grow supplies until the Ukrainian army could kill russians quickly enough to open gaps and free their land. Then the US Republicans threw in with Putin, North Korea and Iran, and blockaded new US aid to Ukraine. So this year Ukraine doesn't have enough ammo, which leaves Putin free to blast dams, power stations and the defenders. Putin has a huge soviet reserve of tanks and vehicles to empty, he's taking most of the good kit out and is throwing it into ukrakne this year. If he can kill or force enough Ukrainians to flee before European ammunition supplies reach the needed level, then he might be able to win. Basically the republicans have given him a window to try and win, but if ukraine doesn't crack and Biden and the Democrats win the 2024 election, then Putin is fucked because the West will supply Ukraine and Russia will have used up almost all of its decades of Soviet production. Sorry for the long post... It's basically what I've been saying for years. Putin only has hope because of western weakness and pro-dictatorship groups in the West, his most important allies on Earth being MAGA Republicans.
