I checked Defense Politics Asia, Weeb Union, and Military Summary, who claim to be neutral (wink wink). The just talk down about Ukraine, NATO and the US and talk up Russia. When the neutral (wink wink) YouTubers keep it short on Ukrainian gains, tone down talking down and talking up sides, it is going badly for Russia.

From what I understand, Prigozhin advanced Wagner into Bakhmut beyond what the Russian MOD was willing to support, leaving the flanks vulnerable. Wagner kept advancing, Prigozhin kept begging for support, the Russian MOD ignored him as much as they could. Now there is a opportunity for Ukraine to hit the flanks around Wagner and retake Bakhmut.

This is what happen when your army is actually several armies, each having different political objectives, the leaders are no better than feudal lords with their own ambitions, instead of officers in a unified command.

The aircraft must have been downed by Russians themselves. Russian air defense sometimes works and helps Ukraine to win!

Karma??? Or Russia just reaping what they sow?
