Russia is carrying out “massive strikes” across the Ukrainian front line, Moscow claimed, after suffering bruising losses in recent days."Air, rocket and artillery forces are carrying out massive strikes on units of the Ukrainian armed forces in all operational directions," said the Russian defence ministry.

"High-precision" strikes have also been launched on Ukrainian positions around Sloviansk and Konstantinovka in the eastern Donetsk region, it added.

Moscow was forced to pull back its troops from swathes of the northeast, particularly in the Kharkiv region, following Kyiv's lightning assault to wrest back terrain.

The territorial shifts marked one of Russia's biggest setbacks since its troops were repelled from Kyiv in the earliest days of the nearly seven-month war, yet Moscow signalled it was no closer to agreeing to a negotiated peace.

Both maybe?

Ukraine made territorial advances and Russia retreated and re-staged, maybe.

Ukraine only reports good news. Russia reports almost no news. The MSM is 100% cheerleading for DC/London and WEF.

Actual information is unlikely.

I assume that they mean that “High-precision” strikes are an aerial bombardment.

“Russia reports almost no news.”

You can’t be serious.

Fog of war. What is the truth?

Right now Russians are retreating/reorganizing/redeploying while losing conquered territory.

So, does this mean that the Russian Air Force is bombarding the equipment that the Army left behind, so that the Ukraine does not get functioning equipment?

The Ukraians had to leave their bunkers to chase the fleeing Russians.

Maybe Ivan is taking a whack at them while they’re in the open.

That may be truer than you know.

Bait them out from behind their civilian population and smack 'em in the open.
