So far, we are happy to report RuSSia has suffered the loss of 1,283% of its equipment!
Norwegian artillery ammunition actively used by the Ukrainian army- here we can see Nammo NM28 155mm projectiles, which are the 🇳🇴 equivalent of the American M107. A large quantity of these projectiles were supplied with 22 M109A3GN self-propelled howitzers from Norway.

••Energy Situation:
The new UK Prime Minister supports drilling in the North Sea and nuclear power. This could help change to energy situation for the better some years down the road.
Europe continues its bet on “green energy” with some emergency measures (France & Germany) using conventional power generation, after Russia completely cut off NG to Europe. Europe is on a collision course with winter.
••Military Overview:
Kherson offensive is stalled because its normal.
———————————————————————————————————————
Summary:
Major Ukrainian offensive on Kherson bridgehead,
Day 8 of the offensive.
Russian forces managed to maintain control over the situation, especially in the north of Kherson region by withdrawing to new defensive position.
Russian forces face significant shortages of the ammunition on the bridgehead.
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes
- North Donbas area: no changes
- Donetsk West: no changes.
- Kherson bridgehead: no changes.
1. Kharkiv: No changes.
2. Izyum bridgehead: No changes.
••Unconfirmed reports that remnants of the Orc 38th B has been pulled to the Kherson Bridgehead.
3. North Donbas: No changes.
4. West of Donetsk: No changes.
5. Vugledar - Velyka Novosilka, Gulyapole: No changes.
6. Kherson bridgehead:
The main focus and where the action is and where the attention of both higher commands are.
What happened is that Ukrainian troops are having difficulty supplying this bridgehead on the eastern bank (Davydiv Brid area) of the Inhoulets River, which is the last river. They build foldable bridges, some pontoon bridges and ferries.
Everything goes to to continue the supply of Ukrainian troops so that slowed down Ukrainian move in the eastern direction and south eastern direction. Nova Kahovka of the first goal, immediate goal on the western side and Koka is a sister town on the eastern side.
Situation here in the northern part has more or less stabilized: Russian troops withdrew; they have now more stable defensive line. Ukrainian side needs to throw more resources to breach through this new front line. What happened in in summary while Ukrainian troops managed to squeeze Russian troops, they didn’t really defeat it, and it was orderly more or less orderly withdrawal of Russian troops.
In the north, they are able to continue defensive operations, and they able to continue the fight.
That’s a whole key point here: there was no full-scale breach of Russian defenses and degradation of the Russian defensive system. It still operates at its minimum because of their poor supplies, that’s the biggest challenge for the Russian troops right now because they rely on heavy artillery fire. That’s how they essentially stop Ukrainian advances and they do their own advances and offenses.
Because there is a shortage of artillery shells, they cannot use as much, and they’re used to that. They really need this artillery support and it’s not there. What we know is that there are only two ferries that are functioning across the Dnipro River.
There is not enough supply for the Russian troops, for them to operate the way they used to operate, or the way they are designed to operate. They they cannot operate in the proper in a normal their their normal way and therefore there are problems at this point.
The only reason there is nothing big happening here is because Ukrainian command has put more or less what they could into this offensive in between the Davydiv Brid and Sneharivka; and they need to bring more resources and reserves. Also they must create stable supply across let’s river which is has been a challenge, but it looks like that problem has been slowly resolved.
Ukrainian command may resume or may not depending, but we definitely think there is a tremendous pressure to resume this advance. We can’t truly call this an offensive; it’s more like something new in military science, if there is such thing as a science.
This it’s more like an art in many ways, but nevertheless, this is what’s going on right now. Russian troops don’t have enough artillery support the only saving grace for Russians command is that the Ukrainian side also doesn’t have many heavy weapons or enough heavy weapons.
The most important thing is a problem of medium level command; it’s frequently not very competent, although I would say very bluntly incompetent. That allows a lot of opportunity for Russian forces not to be totally defeated and decimated and in the north to withdraw in more or less orderly way with some losses. But they are not critical losses for the ability to continue defensive actions.
There are also as as as I mentioned there are reports that parts of the 38th B has been brought in here to stabilize the situation. Apparently the airborne divisions are not enough, but that could be totally incorrect - just reporting at the face value. It’s all very extremely speculative here.
Ukrainian troops created cracks or created extreme difficulty for the Russian side, but they did not break the wheel. They did not created a decisive solution, the decisive moment for themselves.
Ukrainian troops just gonna do small advances, and eventually squeeze Russian troops out of this bridgehead. There is a chance that it will be a suddenly collapse and disorderly withdrawal of Russian troops. But I would say, if we scale this scenario of slow withdrawal and slow squeeze, it is more than likely a disorderly collapse of the Russian frontline. It’s extremely hard to understand at how low how little of their ammunition Russian side is getting, because that’s really the the answer to this situation, the key to this situation.
We still don’t know if Russian forces still control Zolota Balka, they withdrew a little bit south of it they were becoming outflanked, and they don’t have enough resources to cover the flanks or do any counter offensive small scale counter offensive.
There is no strong salient right now for the Russian side and so that creates more stable frontline for the next couple days. It remains to be seen if Ukrainian side is willing to throw more resources into the fight. So far this whole offensive was expensive, but it’s like normal expensiveness: all offensives are expensive in terms of consumption of the resources. Where there is a problem that expenses did not pay off the return on this investment.
Now it looks like Ukrainian command will need to do double down in terms of expenses again invest and in the hope that they can make decisive breaching of the Russian defensive positions.
Large Russian arsenal captured by Ukrainian fighters reportedly in Vysokopillya of Kherson Oblast (ATGMs, RPGs, electronic devices, ammunition, firearms and more).
Where is the headlined “attack on Europe”? Don’t tell us it’s the self-inflicted gas cutoff — because the article is talking about weapons.
