Vladimir Putin is furious after Ukraine's military staged a dramatic fightback and seized back control over most of a town that Russia thought they had captured in Kharkiv.
Russia launched a surprise counteroffensive in Kharkiv earlier this month and many military sources within the Russian army had boasted that they had captured the pivotal town of Vovchansk. However, Ukraine's Defence Forces have now confirmed that Kyiv has regained control of 70 percent of the town, amid fierce ongoing street battles.
Ukraine's Lieutenant Colonel Nazar Voloshyn said that Ukrainian counterattacks, along with effective artillery and drone strikes, were thwarting Russia's efforts and putting them on the back foot. He described Russian tactics as defensive while Ukrainian forces were increasingly seizing the initiative.
The shock fightback has stunned Vladimir Putin's forces and left the Kremlin leader furious. In response, the Russian president has called on his military to send thousands of more soldiers into the area.

The Dagestanis and Buryats thought they caught a break when the Afrikan Korps was sent to capture Kharkiv. But it didn’t last.
You should stop getting your news from tabloids.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
Not BS
Story is reported elsewhere in multiple forms. Poor stupid Orcs blew up the very bridges they will need to make any advances. Unfortunately, the bridges are now all under UKR fire control. So they could not advance no matter what they try.
I am waiting for the strike directly on Zelensky, it will come via NATO/US or Russia. Either way, it will be blamed on Putin and used as the trigger for “total war”.
with apologies to "If a tree falls in the forest, and no one hears it fall, did it ever really fall at all?"
Not as far as I am concerned.
Another Soviet oil refinery has been destroyed and put out of action.

The US still hasn’t approved weapons with more than a 25 mile range for use in russia. That isn’t good enough because they will just step back beyond that range and continue to hit Ukraine with longer range weapons. There should be no restrictions for military targets.
