Currently, attention is primarily focused on the Zaporizhzhya section of the front, where tactical operations are unfolding, including combat reconnaissance, as they say. And in certain sectors of the front, the Ukrainian army has made progress.
“I want to emphasize that this information is unofficial since the (Ukrainian military’s) General Staff is currently observing a pause and highlights the need to ‘maintain calm and informational silence.’ These different pieces of information come from various sources, including reputable ones like British intelligence and the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
“It can be said that we have had the most tactical success in the area near the village of Velyka Novosilka. There has been an advancement, with several settlements now behind us. However, I would refrain from stating that we have fully captured and control them at this time. In the larger scheme of things, it remains a gray area.

Anyone have any details pro or con Ukraine war?
It reeks of Baghdad Bob
“Grandiose” is an odd word to apply in this situation.
I have no details or facts. But I think that if Ukraine is bragging this much about their victory, it makes me think that they must be losing pretty badly.

There is one undeniable fact: truth is the first casualty of war.
Impossible to tell, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Russia is throw a few bones to them (meaning letting them have some small settlements). This is based on the BEST outcome for Russia being able to destroy all Western hardware (since its quantity is limited and replacement takes 5 to 10 years, due, in part, on their new Drag Queen content requirements).
So, if Russia shows its defenses to be a brick wall as they did for the past week, Ukraine will pull back, but still have its weapons for defense, should Russia try to liberate more of Ukraine.
So, let Ukraine move forward a bit, and then send in all they have, Russia takes out that hardware - and leaves the road to Kiev undefended.
Might get to see one of Russia’s bigger thermobaric bombs in action soon.
They may not have the capability anymore. Looks to me that SEAL Team 6 (or similar) destroyed that entire wing in an attack in Crimea last year.
After a week of fighting , Ukraine captured a few small villages today
The main Russian fortified defensive lines are still 10-20km south
I seriously doubt you will find an objective account here, or anywhere for that matter.
Someone always has to bring up my cousin.
try Alexander Mercouris and the Duran on Rumble.
But, real or lasting success isn't the goal. The goal is to do enough to assure more money flows into Ukraine.
I cannot know there is even rally a war.
The lies of the media are so pervasive, the whole thing could be faked for all I know
