Given the self-evident panic in the Ukrainian command over the Russians now punching holes into their Donbass front line at will, I think it's likely that whatever raiding force they had stacked up for a cross-border attack just got redirected south to die on the primary front.

Something interesting caught my eye today - the Russians are fabricating Ukrainian attacks again. In neither of these videos is a single Ukrainian soldier seen, living or dead, and yet the usual suspects have already marked up gains for the AFU. Why would the Russians do this?⬇️ Well, it's a military maxim that you always reinforce success. At the same time, the situational awareness of the AFU's command is awful - it's quite clear that every level of command in that organization routinely lies to their superiors, and given the casualties they take on a daily basis it's likely that the brigade in charge of any given front sector doesn't have a very clear idea of where its troops actually are at any given time and how many of them are still alive, let alone the strength and disposition of the local Russians. It's likely that a significant amount of the AFU's situation map is simply copy-pasted off of brOSINT/broenkor war mapper products. Thus if the Russians want to bait the AFU into dissipating its limited resources, it's quite simple to shell or drone some abandoned area behind their own front line, film the fireworks, release the footage, and wait. The "successful Ukrainian attack" will filter into the AFU's operational picture in a matter of hours and they will start making decisions based on it. And this isn't the first time they've done this, the Russians fabricated a Ukrainian counterattack in Toretsk last year that eventually sucked in real AFU units and command attention while they were preparing for the final assault that retook Sudzha and collapsed the remainder of the Ukrainian salient into Kursk Oblast. When observing this war you always need to remember that the combatants have diametrically opposite approaches to public relations. Ukrainians will often deploy combat forces purely to drive narratives on social media - while the Russians will just as often use social media narratives to accomplish battlefield objectives.

🇺🇦 Russian soldiers surrendered with the help of a Ukrainian drone The POWs said their commanders were sending them into suicide assaults and threatening to "zero them out" if they refused. At their position, they found a leaflet with instructions on how to surrender, laid down their weapons, and waited for a Ukrainian drone, which guided them safely away from the front line. Now they are urging other Russians not to sign military contracts, avoid the war, and, if already at the front, surrender. “If you see one of these leaflets, follow the instructions. Everything will be fine — a drone will come, guide you out safely, and you'll be welcomed and given water,” one of the soldiers said.

“I think we have not given the fans a lot to love. I think that’s part of it and I think we take a lot of responsibility on that and having lost the fans a little bit. I think had we given them a lot more to cheer for and be up for in the 4th quarter and be into it and given them more wins; I think we would have looked at it a little differently. I think we can take a lot of responsibility for that; but I mean the fans have been there. They were up tonight. They were huge, they were loud, they were positive. I just want to move forward and just wanna try to continue to give them things to be positive for and show up and be happy that they support us. I’m just happy they show up for us.” Cooper Flagg speaks on the Mavericks fan base and the support he felt tonight in the AAC.

Let’s be honest here, you can’t possibly believe that Russia suffered more casualties than Ukraine. We’ve all seen what’s happening at the front. When too risky, the Russians don’t even bother sending troops to clear out buildings occupied by Ukrainian soldiers. They just call in the Air Force and turn the whole place into fine dust. The Russians have significantly more air support than the Ukrainians. Use your brain people, it's not that hard.

ELON: CEOS SHOULD BE ON THE FRONT LINE “There's a lot of talented people at SpaceX and Tesla. I think the morale is good. I find that if I am engrossed in the details of the issues, this does not result in them feeling worse, but feeling better. In my experience, they're more energized. Think about war. Do you want the general to be in some ivory tower or on the front lines? The troops are going to fight a lot harder if they see the general on the front lines than if they think the general's in some cushy situation. Nobody bleeds for the prince in the palace. Get out there on the goddamn front line and show them that you care and that you're not just in some plush office somewhere.” Source: Interview with the WSJ, December 2020

'Russia has taken 78% of Donbas. Let it stay that way' – Trump wants the war in Ukraine to stop at the front line. - On Friday, you said you had a friendly meeting with President Zelensky. During that meeting, did you tell him that he should give up the entire Donbas region currently controlled by Russia? - No, we did not discuss that. We believe they just need to stop at the lines where they are now — at the front line. There is currently a line of combat, and it is very difficult to negotiate beyond that. If you start with: 'you take this, we take that,' there are too many options. So I say: they should stop right now at the front line. - And what do you think should happen with the Donbas region? - Let it remain as it is. It is already divided now. I think 78% of the territory is already occupied by Russia. Let it stay that way for the moment. Later, something can be discussed and agreed upon. But I said: stop at the front line, go home, stop fighting. - SK

A short note on tactics - the Russians released video today of a Ukrainian assembly area being struck by Smerch rockets, probably at 50+ kilometers from the front line. If you think you can just casually set up an AA within range of enemy fires in modern war, you are mistaken.

General Gerasimov recently announced the village of Borovaya had been taken by the Russian Army. This set off a storm of accusations that he was lying, because no mapper had Russian troops anywhere near the town in force. Today the MoD posted proof they seized it weeks ago.⬇️ You can watch the video for yourself, it's attached. Notice that the leaves are off the trees, indicating that the assault went in and the Russians cleared the town during the March-April timeframe. Thus as far as the Russian Army was concerned, their holding Borovaya was old news and they were presumably quite surprised to see frenzied Telegram blowback on the announcement. No "serious" mapper as of yesterday had Russian troops anywhere near the town - most had their front line approximately five kilometers to the north. And as I pointed out earlier, this seizure was actually old news to the point the Russians felt comfortable announcing it officially. By now the true Russian front line is likely some ways south of the town and the area is secure. There's an old saying in America, "The people who know aren't talking, and the people who talk don't know." The Russians have always had good operational security in general, and earlier this year one of the only side-channels that voenkor commentators used to communicate with their few actual front-line sources - pirated Starlink terminals - were bricked.* Cut off from the front line, Russian civilian commentators fell back on analyzing Ukrainian propaganda (something they've always heavily relied upon) at the exact moment the Ukrainians also seem to have tightened their own OPSEC and become institutionally aware of the role their own propaganda was playing in mapping Russian advances for the public and refuting their narrative of constant success. * This is why broenkors have been screaming and rending their garments about Starlink access. It's their leak vector. The Russian Army never officially used pirated terminals to any significant extent and may have in fact intentionally triggered the crackdown to choke off an OPSEC risk by putting a couple pirated terminals on cruise drones. I specifically believe that the Ukrainians have imposed media and even propaganda blackouts in two sectors - Kupyansk and Zaporozhie - in which they attempted to launch counteroffensives in the last six months. Both of those attacks failed, but the blackouts seemingly remain to avoid embarrassment - and given the Russians only post front updates sporadically and in accordance with their own OPSEC requirements, this means that the front lines in both sectors probably bear little resemblance to the war mappers' current traces. Given that all of this also happened in the February-April timeframe this further suggests that the Russian "pause" in March of this year was simply a reporting artifact and that they're sitting on significant unrecognized gains. Which the Russian MoD has in fact reported on two occasions now during high-level updates, but the mappers refused to believe them!
