Since the Russians decided to go into Ukraine, the vast majority of fighting that has taken place in South and Eastern Ukraine has been done by the Donetsk and Luhansk People's republic militia, backed by Russian forces. They have taken village after village, town after town and city after city in the east and south of the country.

It is not going well for Zelensky and that is why splits are appearing between him and the military. The supposed counter offensive around Kherson was never going to happen, and was a PR stunt in an attempt to 'show the world we can win the war', but that stunt resulted in part of the military taken away fro the area around Peski and transferred to the Kherson region, and this meant the Donetsk militia was able to take Peski.

Further splits between Zelensky and the military are appearing all the time.

Suicide missions, abuse, physical threats: International Legion fighters speak out against leadership’s misconduct

Zelensky should offer a negotiated settlement with Russia and the Donbass Republics, while there is still a viable Ukraine entity.

The UKA will struggle to face the Russians in face-to-face battle for a fair while, so it'd only be sensible to try and undermine their forces before attacking.

It doesn't appear as if there's any Russian offensives that have recently taken ground*, which either means they're running out of steam or have paused.

If the UKA can then isolate their forward positions and make it as uncomfortable as possible for the ground troops, it could be a similar situation.

I've screenshotted the ISW map from a couple of days ago around Kherson. There is movement into Ukraine territory though it's very limited. I wish I had took a better range of screenshot to verify along the whole line.

Either way a lot of misery to achieve not much.

Interesting summary/analysis of the Russian military and how it has conducted military operations in Ukraine..

some words from your article, after which I couldn't stop laughing:

"The Russian program of guided missile strikes, conducted in parallel to the three ground campaigns, created a number of moral effects favorable to the Russian war effort. The most important of these resulted from the avoidance of collateral damage that resulted, not only from the extraordinary precision of the weapons used, but also from the judicious choice of targets"

???????????????

reality: using maps from the 70s and 80s of the last century for launching rocket strikes of ultra-expensive missiles ( "caliber" price 6.5m$, "x101"-13.5m$ each).

for example, in my town they launched 10 "caliber" rockets (65m$ spent) for 2 targets - tank boxes(was liquidated in 1979) and military unit(was liquidated in 1998), but instead, 4 rockets fell into an empty field, the second batch of rockets destroyed a station for the repairing and washing of civilian cars, which now stands in the same place where 50 years ago there were tank boxes.

I don’t presume to say how many rockets hit residential buildings with civilians throughout all part of Ukraine

this article was definitely not written by a marine from the United States, but by a student translator from Moscow University on a part-time job

the struggle for power, for money has always been an integral part of Russia, as well as the struggle between law enforcement agencies, security forces and people from power, as well as politicians of the highest echelon.

Dugin is the main ideologist and creator of the "Russian world". the level of what happened is if the daughter of a Goebbels were killed.

Dugin assassination attempt is very interesting. Explosion occurred in Moscow. Could it be a Ukrainian attempt or maybe the work of an opposing Russian faction?

It could be either although for a Ukrainian perspective I’d argue such an attack may have more disadvantages than advantages.

As a piece of power play from within, it be a more advantageous strategy. Either way, we’re likely to respect a strong response.

1.it can be Ukrainian attempt but very unlikely (it makes no sense right now at this moment)

2. there is practically no opposition in russia, it is almost not real here

as I wrote above, most of all she was eliminated by their own.
since this is one of Putin's ideologists, if not the most important and one of the initiators of the invasion of Ukraine - Most of all, she was eliminated by order of one of the higher people of the power block( FSB OR FSS) . it is at least strange that someone could plant explosives in a car for a person who has 100 guards around.
