‘Soldiers Base’ Hit by HIMARS.
“The aftermath of a Ukrainian strike on a Russian position in Perevalsk, Luhansk Oblast. LNR officials say it was caused by a HIMARS strike launched from Bakhmut.”
“LNR officials are saying this is the first use of HIMARS on positions in Luhansk.”
“Perevalsk. Disturbing news from Vicki. Missile hit “soldiers base””
“Perevalsk. “... military unit. many wounded.” “alarming””

Poor Speedy. It must be getting ever harder to keep up with your daily lies as Russia keeps grinding westwards.

Summary: Large progress by Russian troops south of Lysychansk.
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes.
- Popasna area: Russian troops captured Vovchoyarivka and Lysychansk oil refinery, approached Maloryazantseve.
- Svitlodarsk area: no changes.
- Donetsk West: no changes
- Kherson bridgehead: no changes.
1. Kharkiv: Russian troops continue putting pressure along the buffer zone without much progress.
••All troops ZSU pulled to Poasna area, so Orcs applying pressure. No success
2. Izyum bridgehead. Russian attacks at Dolyna.
3. Popasna area: Russian troops captured Vovchoyarivka and Lysychansk oil refinery, approached Maloryazantseve. This puts Ukrainian troops in tactical pocket situation and requires immediate withdrawal.
The last remaining supply route is under direct artillery fire and no longer usable. Supply is only possible via field roads which are also exposed to artillery fire.
••Major Russian gains here mandate UA withdrawal immediately. UA troops collapsed quickly, within one day. Troop moral low because there still is no answer to Orc artillery.
••Orc troops had to be pulled from everywhere to create this advantage in a small section of the front line.
••This is where the western weapons could make a difference - if not done, will be one domino after another - moral will continue to fall.
4. Svtilodarsk area: No changes.
5. West of Donetsk: Avdiyivka and Maryinka. No changes.
••Weak Orc attacks continue - just a ploy to keep UA troops from moving to Popasna
6. Vugledar: No changes.
7. Velyka Novosilka - Gulyapole stretch of frontline. No changes.
8. Kherson bridgehead: No changes.
Similar tanks with identical markings are seen as well on transport in Ukraine as in Russia. Such damaged vehicles are seen on a loader in Ukraine as was as in Russia. Whether it these are EXACTLY the same vehicles is not important. They are from the same batch/group.
Russia is taking its damaged vehicles from the battlefield back to Russia. They are NOT being repaired in ‘local separatists workshops’.
They are taken back to hide the fact that they had been there and also to hide the number of destroyed/damaged vehicles.

“Attack on Europe…”
Much of Russia is within Europe, geographically. St. Petersburg is more or less at the same longitude as Kiev and far west of the Donbass. So I guess if it is an ‘attack on europe’, it’s an ‘attack by europe’ as well.

The piece is by the 'deranged conspiracy theorist and scandal plagued CIA propagandist' Natasha Bertrand. That makes it an official administration position.
(CNN) - White House officials are losing confidence that Ukraine will ever be able to take back all of the land it has lost to Russia over the past four months of war, US officials told CNN, even with the heavier and more sophisticated weaponry the US and its allies plan to send.
Advisers to President Joe Biden have begun debating internally how and whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should shift his definition of a Ukrainian "victory" -- adjusting for the possibility that his country has shrunk irreversibly.
US officials emphasized to CNN that this more pessimistic assessment does not mean the US plans to pressure Ukraine into making any formal territorial concessions to Russia in order to end the war. There is also hope that Ukrainian forces will be able to take back significant chunks of territory in a likely counteroffensive later this year.
That 'counteroffensive later this year' seems very unlikely to me. When the Russian forces see any buildup for one they will destroy it before it can take off.
The Ukraine will not regain any of the territory that the Russians do not want it to regain. It isn't in the position to do so militarily nor through negotiations. It will simply have to accept defeat and give up on the east and south and accept the loss of the source of 70-80% of its former GDP.
