Thanks so much for all you do. Please keep up the good work. I've seen your reports cited here and there since the beginning of the SMO, but I only recently discovered that you were publishing in English on Substack.

I noted that you deleted a comment and asked that commenters not cite Rybar because it's not a reliable source. I followed Rybar's TG channel pretty regularly during the early months of the SMO. But it was hard to keep up with their multiple posts daily, and other analysts (including yourself) emerged who posted more convenient overviews every few days. Recently I read a cryptic comment somewhere else that Rybar's quality had plummeted.

Can you explain what happened?

Покровский is a very valuable town to take, it will open towards Краматорск and Славянск, which are going to be tough to take also. Slow but sure, but imagine fighting on a 700+ mile front ! The logistical guys calling the shots on this front - have to be mentioned/honored.

Good job Russian warriors do. Thank you for the report.

I’m a native Texan so this situation reminds me of the cross border raids of Pancho Villa during the Mexican Revolution around the time of WWI. Can’t be sure from over here what is going on over there, except that Russia has a legitimate security interest acknowledged by all American Presidents expect the current one, and that fact is likely due to money laundering and graft

In the future, please don't post Rybar. They are not a trustworthy source.

Your profane and disrespectful reply speak volumes as to both your character, intelligence and integrity.

Or the lack thereof.

Yeah, I tolerated him for a while, but it got to be too much. My first ban! Lol. Right now, he's probably writing some screed in someone else's comments about how he's a victim of censorship.

With all due respect, this is exactly what the AFU are hoping for. It's better to finish the job and simply attrit the AFU in Kursk. It's best not to make decisions emotionally and reactively.

What you wrote isn't a really a response to what I wrote.

Bless you and Thank you

I.m sorry I even engaged with him as you have things well in hand.

I have such high regard for Marat. I couldn't help myself. I was concerned because I remember him from Andrei Martyanov's blog and I was shocked by his behavior here.

I've visited other sites where there isn't someone like you. If there's ever a next time, I'll stay out of it.

God Bless and Keep You

Well, now it is obvious why you were kicked out from Andrei Martianov's blog, you psycho.
