Friendly anti-tank mine.

Thank you for posting so much good news!
This is looking increasingly like a war of attrition.
Tank losses are sexy but may not the main thing.
Numbers I’ve seen on average russian troop losses are all over the map.
Have you seen any numbers that you consider to be kind of sort of reliable/accurate?
If you were to promote a different measure of Russian losses as a measure of Ukrainian success—besides territory regained—what would that measure be? Would it still be tanks?
Russia has lost 3 times the equipment they ever had.

What is worse than putting lipstick on a pig? Putting lipstick on a corpse. On the very day that the NY Times “reports” that Russia is struggling to advance, Russia took the town of Pesky, which sits at a key junction west of Donetsk. Having secured control of Pesky, the Russians are in a much stronger position to take all Ukrainian territory up to the Dnieper River.
The plight of the Ukrainian troops remains desperate notwithstanding HIMMARS activity.

Lastly, there is the Chutzpah award. Vladimir Zelensky is the winner and it is not because he is Jewish. Russia holds the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant, the largest in Europe. Yet, according to Zelensky, Russia is shelling itself and putting its troops, who are guarding the plant, at risk. That is some serious chutzpah my friends.
Zelensky, with the urging of his western puppet masters, is pushing the threat of a nuclear holocaust as a last ditch effort to try to stall the Russian advance. Russia has made it clear that they are not going to submit to such blackmail. I suspect this is one of the stories that will dominate the meme in the coming week.
Where is the headlined “attack on Europe”?
