At Kupiansk, Fast Ukraine Flanking Maneuvers Force Russian Retreat

1. More of this as rapid as is reasonable please.

2. Well done. This is a short but good read.

   > Russian forces have attempted to position themselves for a spring offensive and their tiny, vulnerable foothold on the west bank of the Oskil River is one key to that strategy. 

   > But like much of the Russian front, the troops in the bridgehead have suffered massive casualties are sparse. This allowed the Ukrainians – using their fast new Bucephalus armored personnel carriers (made in Ukraine) to outflank, ambush and then wipe out many of the remaining Russians. Ukraine has retaken key positions, forcing some Russians to retreat and preparing the ground for pushing the Kremlin troops off the west bank entirely. JL

3. Well, that title is a sobriety test…

4. I suppose we are looking at two different Kupiansk fronts. Russians aren’t retreating there. They reversed the Ukrainian counterattack and even connected with their second bridgehead further north. If it’s more comforting to believe the opposite, I suppose there’s no harm though.

5. if only this was reflected in maps, its not, russia still pushing foreward
