It’s working better than the Russian war plan. The Russian army has been going backward in Ukraine since 2022.
“ Ukraine hasn’t reached the frontline of Russian defense.”
Time to check back for an update - the Surovikin line has been breached in the direction of Tokmak/Melitopol, and Russian occupation authorities have evacuated Tokmak.
The transport planes struck (IL-76) were the ones that were used to drop paratroopers from the 76th VDV, stationed Pskov. They were also used to rush heavy weapons and ammo to halt Ukraine’s Kharkiv offensive last September. They won’t be doing either, this time around.
