🇷🇺 The Russian army aims to seize a foothold on the right bank of the Dnipro in Kherson Oblast, but there are no plans to storm the city of Kherson itself, per Southern Defense Forces spokesman Vlad Voloshyn.

"5-7 infantry assaults occur daily along this axis," he said, calling it preparation for a potential foothold.

I believe this is preparation for negotiation.

I will put this, what could possible go wrong with a river crossing to a prepared defense.

I would imagine the boats they will be using are relatively easy targets for drones and cluster munitions

I say go for it

Slovakia was offered an alternative for Russian gas, but Fico refused. Instead, Fico went to Moscow anyway and came with nothing back for Slovakia. And we really have to emphasize:

Nothing for Slovakia

Nothing for Slovakia doesn't mean nothing for him, and this has been the only point for him being there. Fico is only the latest example that populists only deliver for themselves and not the sheep who vote for them. The most telling part is that what he does will also antagonize the incoming Trump administration, which will try its best to sell American LNG products.

In any case, Russian gas supplies will stop January 1st. Ukraine made the case quite clear not to renew the contracts. Instead of finding common ground with Kyiv, Brussels and Washington, Fico chose Moscow, and soon Slovakia will pay the price for this foolish decision.
