Situation in Vovchansk is difficult, Russians entered the city. Street fighting has begun. 1st Rifle Battalion of 57th Brigade managed to stop further Russian advance for now. The first line of fortifications and mine fields didn’t exist in this area.

1. Ukraine can’t hold russia? they are expecting this fight for months now, how caan let this happen

2. wheres the first line then? might be better to fall back to it? reporting is so weird how can there be no minefields

3. And they said the lines were stable

   Ukraine is full of lies

4. This sub – for two years – have been plagued by uncritical clout aggregators who post stupid shit like “today we killed x number of Russians/tanks/etc etc” “Russians are so dumb” – and generally clouding the situation on the ground and under valuing the difficulty and how large the challenge Ukraine is facing.

   Now the yo yo swings and the aggregators will pump a diff narrative. And some guy with a post history busier than high school kid will claim he’s an officer in the Ukraine defense forces and his “resistance” is online

5. I see the russian propoganda out in full force… lil things like calling Kharkiv, Kharkov , give it away….

6. The problem is the conflict has been reduced to trench warfare as vehicles can be destroyed too easily. While Ukr has advantages because of superior western vehicles, drones and anti tank weapons…. Now it’s just about infantry advances. And Russia has more.

7. Putin’s internal line is a mass, virtually full conscription of like 600-800k. That would logistically force them to pull some men from Moscow & St. Petersburg… and that’s high-risk territory for people who can strongly oppose him with success! “I win or nobody does” would be Vladolf’s idea and that means WWIII, nukes, etc. It’s best to avoid that.
