Russia is accelerating and taking bigger meat grinding risks ahead of the material coming in to Ukraine.
They know the advance will be coming from the other direction and plan to reuse old defensive structures that are already vulnerable.
Russian men are becoming scarcer now.
Hater, Tat- , and tired tread need to get in the market for Russian women. They are now in oversupply, especially the women without teeth.
Step right up.

CNN —
Vladimir Putin’s forces have made further gains in at least three locations along the eastern front in Ukraine – including for the first time in several months an advance in the northern Kharkiv region – highlighting again Kyiv’s need for ammunition and weapons from the United States and other allies.
Russia’s tactical advances are now daily and reflect the new tempo on the battlefield since the fall of the industrial town of Avdiivka in February.
The gains are generally modest -– from a few hundred meters of territory to perhaps a kilometer at most – but they are usually taking place in several locations at once.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s losses are being accompanied by criticism from influential military bloggers and analysts of the armed forces’ official battlefield updates.
One of Russia’s main efforts is in the Donetsk region. Ukraine’s DeepState monitoring group, which updates daily changes in frontline positions, shows Russian forces pushing forward in eight different locations along 20-25 kms of frontline in one 24-hour period.
Military bloggers on both sides have reported that Russian forces have crossed a water course and taken control of the settlements of Semenivka and Berdychi – which Ukrainian army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi confirmed in a post on Telegram on Sunday. Russia had deployed up to four brigades in offensive operations in the area, Syrskyi said.

This is still my favorite video clip of the war. Even in an authoritarian country, you can get change if enough people there are brave enough to take action.
Sadly, this woman is a rare bird in Russia.
Shes not rare.
and mothers in Russia, who complain, are not off-limits to assassination if they actually become a leader of a group that is organized and causes problems. The mothers are aware of this. As are the grandmas.
Of course she's rare.
That's why you won't find many videos like this of mothers dressing down recruitment officers.
That's why even the ones who do speak out or protest in some mild manner tread carefully, unlike the woman in the video who just says it like it is regardless of the consequences.
...Hog wash.
...or, the one here (unarmed) who said it like it was and got shot to death for it. The shooter even got bum rushed to the first lectern with a mic and was medaled for the kill...to make sure we all saw.
America & Russia; six of one, half dozen of the other. We ain't got a thing on Russia.
Now, that's kinda true...here, mothers like Madonna, mother of like a dozen/mixed threatened to blow up the White House the day Trump and his family moved in. It's just like the tree in the forest that falls down and nobody in there to hear it. Or, that Griffin mother who threatened to cut President Trump's head off. Walked like it never happened.
C'mon, peeg, come ta Pappy.
Signed,

[[[A few kilometers to the north, Soloviove is now also reported to be in Russian hands, and the tiny settlement of Keramik at least partially so as well.
“The withdrawal in the Donetsk operational zone continues,” the Ukrainian military blogger Myroshnykov wrote.
Slightly further south, Russian forces are also making headway in the industrial town of Krasnohorivka, entering from the south and the east.
Fierce fighting has been reported around the town’s large brick factory. One Russian military blogger wrote of the battle’s importance: “The liberation (sic) of the refractory plant would actually mean the fall of the Krasnohorivka fortification, as the northern outskirts of the settlement are private buildings, which will be too difficult to defend if the plant is lost.”
Elsewhere, about 180kms (112 miles) to the north, Russia’s forces have also achieved their first successes in almost three months along that part of the frontline that cuts into Kharkiv region.
A Ukrainian army spokesman described Russian forces there as having become “significantly more active” over the past day, while DeepState assessed a Russian advance of between one and two kilometers into the village of Kyslivka.]]]
