“We continue to prepare Ukrainian doctrine - fundamental text, the basis for the transformation of our state. Do not forget our main goal is to win the war and not lose the country. Ukraine must realize its historic chance for development, which was achieved by the courage of our people - of our entire people.
We prepare and more defense packages for our soldiers and more defense systems for the entire Ukrainian society, including the PPO systems.
I want to separately highlight today the units that ensure the advancement of our troops. These are the units of Ukrainian sappers.

From Boris Rozhin’s channel (https://t.me/boris_rozhin/94500):
What is happening near Kupyansk: analysis of the military chronicle
The situation in this direction for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is rapidly becoming more complicated. There are few response options, and none of them is good or even acceptable for the Ukrainian army.
What is happening in the Kupyansk direction?
During the offensive, units of the RF Armed Forces came close to Sinkovka, one of the last settlements before Kupyansk in the Kharkov region. Kupyansk, to which the Russian army is only 7 km away, as well as the objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine around it, is located in the zone of destruction of Russian artillery.
At the same time, the RF Armed Forces advanced towards Kamenka and Dvurechnaya in the north-east of the Kharkiv region, which forced the Armed Forces of Ukraine to stretch their forces and decompress the defense in these directions. For the past four weeks, all the border facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - headquarters of companies and battalions, warehouses with fuel and ammunition - have been actively worked out by Russian aviation. The FAB-250-M62 and UPAB-1500 bombs were used from a range of 50 km, due to which the Aspide short-range air defense systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Soviet Strela did not have time to react and were destroyed along with key objects of the Ukrainian army. After several weeks of air strikes on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kupyansky district, almost all units of the Ukrainian army began to experience a shortage of ammunition.
What units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are located near Kupyansk?
At least ten large formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were left for the defense of the Kupyansky district: the 10th and 36th separate rifle battalions, the 5th separate battalion, the 3rd separate tank brigade, the 14th separate motorized brigade, the 103rd and 105th brigades TRO, 92nd Motorized Rifle Brigade, 132nd Airborne Assault Brigade,
27th Rocket Artillery Brigade (Ukraine). At the same time, the largest forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are thrown into the defense of the Sinkovsky ledge, the defense of which, to put it mildly, is complicated by some features of the relief. Sinkovka and Kupyansk are often compared to Artyomovsk because of their geographical location.
What is the importance of the Kupyansky district for the Armed Forces of Ukraine?
Both settlements are located in a lowland and surrounded by hills, which complicates their defense and simplifies the assault using artillery. Another problematic point in the Kupyansky district for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the so-called eastern corner - the place where the villages of Kotlyarovka and Kislovka are located.
A railway line passes through them, leading directly to Kupyansk-nodal, the central logistics hub of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (not counting Chuguev and Kharkiv) in the Kharkiv direction, linking three regions of Ukraine.
To the south of Kupyansk-nodal, in addition to small towns, is Slavyansk, the supply of which may be disrupted if Kupyansk is abandoned by Ukrainian troops.
In addition to the loss of control over the railway communication, the abandonment of Kupyansk by the Armed Forces of Ukraine may open the way for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to Shevchenkovo and Chuguev along the H-26 highway.
The distance from Kupyansk to Chuguev by road is 80 km, the direct distance is less than 65 km, which, if Kupyansk is lost by the Ukrainian army, automatically means that it will be possible to work out Chuguev with long-range rocket artillery and guided bombs FAB-250-M62.
Will the Armed Forces of Ukraine be able to keep Kupyansk?
The main forces of the Ukrainian army are involved in the attack on Zaporozhye and in the South-Donetsk direction. An attempt to hold back the RF Armed Forces near Kupyansk with the help of operational reserves has so far failed.

“The effectiveness of the Russian military on the ground is limited. They already have not accomplished the objectives that Mr. Putin set.” Frequent changes in Russia’s military changes suggest Putin is worried about the loyalty of his military, says Gen. Philip Breedlove (Ret.)
This is the propaganda they feed us to keep the billions rolling in. Who wouldn’t?

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for August 9, 2023:
- Western analysts and media sources are beginning to admit the poor progress, heavy losses, and fundamental flaws of the Ukrainian offensive and beyond that, the unsustainable nature of the proxy war in the first place;
- Ukraine is shifting away from attempts to storm Russian lines and attempting instead to conduct attritional warfare, however, it lacks the material resources to do so which necessitated “storming” tactics in the first place;
- As Ukraine’s offensive falters on the battlefield, Kiev and its Western sponsors have been focusing on aerial and naval drone strikes to create the illusion Ukraine maintains the initiative;
- Quantities of artillery, armor, and trained manpower determine the duration of Ukraine’s offensive. The disposition of both Ukrainian and Russian forces including the reserves of both sides will determine if a breakthrough will occur;
- Russian military industrial capacity and the material resources it produces for the ongoing military operation ensures that no matter where Ukraine’s offensive ends on the battlefield, it will leave Ukrainian forces exhausted, depleted, and unable to sustain their fighting capacity;
- Industrial capability between the collective West and both Russia and China is and will remain into the foreseeable future leaning in favor of Russia and China;
- The West gambled and lost on “small wars” as it enters an end game for geopolitical unipolarity against Russia and China and the reality that modern warfare against peer and near-peer competitors requires industrial capacity the West doesn’t have and cannot obtain;
Summary for the Evening of 10 Aug 2023⚡️
🔹In #Kherson Direction, the AFU build up their forces, reserves move towards #Kherson, #Berislav and #Chornobayevka, while reconnaissance spotted ferry bridge vehicles near #Kizomys, #Veletenskoye and #Yantarnoye.
🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, the AFU changed the vector of attacks from #Rabotino to #Verbovoye. The RF Armed Forces repelled the attacks, they withdrew. Probably, having failed to achieve success by changing tactics, the AFU will try to change the areas of active attacks, imposing the movement of our reserves along the line of defence in search of more vulnerable places.
🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, the AFU storm #Urozhaynoye, while ours hit small groups of attackers with artillery. #Staromayorskoye remains in the grey zone, the Russian army is preventing Ukrainian forces from entrenching. The AFU gather reserves in #Makarovka and #Vremyevka, and will attempt to break through the front.
🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, intense battles continue for #Kleshcheyevka and adjacent heights. The enemy is trying to attack after ours counterattacked in the southern part of the village and pushed the AFU back from there. Despite huge losses on the southern flank, the AFU are storming #Andreyevka, ours heroically hold their positions.
🔹In #Kupyansk Sector, the authorities have begun the mandatory evacuation of residents. There are reports of the AFU withdrawing behind the #Oskol River, they will build defences along the river. Last night the RF Armed Forces were able to advance, and according to information from the ground to #Kupyansk along the railway line there are about 7 km left. The Russian army has come close to #Sinkovka, and fight for the village is now underway. Our forces have begun to move near #Petropavlovka. The Russian army has an active initiative along the entire frontline in the #Kupyansk direction.

If the Russian military was as effective, and Ukraine and western weapons as ineffective as described, then Russia would have already won.
The Banderites are hungry. Is the Piano Man their next meal?
