I assume that you'll move up the Dnieper River from Robotyne, and across the fields from Ugledar, towards Zaporizhzhia City.

Major progress by Seversk . How did that happen without us noticing?

He’s biased, but that doesn’t negate him being an interesting source in an era where where we’re flooded with bias from the other side.

Everyone is biased. But sifting through the bias brings insights.

We dig and dig, hoping someone will bring a bulldozer.

The Kursk gambit was a bridge, err, a nuclear power station, too far.

Those pesky meddling kids at MI6 managed to sell that boondoggle to the Cee-Aye-A and greatly assisted in cooking Ukraine's goose.

When VVP is dishing out medals/honours various, special mentions should be made to Whitehall, London and Langley, Virginia.

Excellent article. I think its time that the Russians finish off their opponents which will hopefully bring the west to realise their folly of going against a nuclear superpower. This is a battle of attrition and the Russians have now built a momemtum which the other side cannot stop. Desperation is already unfolding in the west, what with the idiotic statements that come out of their mouths. Russia is teaching the combined west a lesson in strategy,operation and tactical application of all three. The timing of October 1st. ground forces day together with the October revolution is the perfect setting and timing for the offensive. Congratulations and best wishes to all of Russia for their immense sarifices the country has made. Hopefully it will be the last.

Finally a war correspondent whose analysis of the Russia-Ukraine war is grounded in military science, in language that is precise and easily understandable. Definitely not an amateur recount of various tactical encounters on the battlefield.

America needs this basic math lesson, since we don't do maps....which shows Russia on top of the world....
