The east - Avdiivka and Bakhmut
Before the Kharkiv offensive, Russia had been largely focusing its offensive capabilities in the east, where it had been inching forward since October 2023 as Ukraine’s highly-anticipated counteroffensive floundered last summer. Capturing Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland – known as the Donbas - remains a major Kremlin goal.
In February, Moscow’s troops notched up a major success along this front when they took the town of Avdiivka. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the decision to pull back was made to “save our soldiers’ lives” and came in the face of constant, heavy Russian bombardment and a ten-to-one s disadvantage.

[[[Since then, Russian troops have made steady progress westwards in the direction of Pokrovsk, which serves as a vital military hub in Ukraine’s war effort.
A few dozen kilometers to the north, eastern city of Bakhmut was recaptured by the Russians in spring last year following a grinding, nine-month battle. Now, Russia’s forces are edging west towards Chasiv Yar. Getting control of high ground on which the town sits would put Putin’s troops closer to the strategic city of Kramatorsk.]]]

[[[The battle for Robotyne
Further to the south, Ukrainian forces are coming under pressure southeast of Zaporizhzhia, one of the few areas where they achieved success, albeit modest in size, in last summer’s counteroffensive.
Both Russian military bloggers and Ukraine’s DeepStateMap report small Russian advances into a pocket of recaptured Ukrainian territory.
Robotyne, a tiny village that is now completely destroyed, has changed hands several times during the war. It was first captured by Russian forces in early March 2022 and Moscow again claimed control over it earlier this month, something denied by Ukraine.
The battle for Robotyne highlights the fluidity of the battlefield and is a stark illustration of the nature of the fighting, with the war being decided in brutal battles for often abandoned villages.]]]
Ukraine!
Double 'em!!!
ing A, right.
However much we are sending, I would love to see it doubled or tripled.

[[[Russia has continued its tactic of striking key energy facilities this week, with the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy warning Sunday of a “significant power shortage” as a knock-on effect of the strikes.
The ministry said that emergency blackouts were carried out in several regions of Ukraine after “six massive attacks.”
Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy said power facilities in the regions of Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kirovohrad, and Ivano-Frankivsk were hit, in what the ministry called “the sixth massive missile and drone strike on energy facilities since March 22.”]]]

It's war, son. Anything goes, that's Rule #1. Rule #2? Obey all rules.

[[[Russia’s defense ministry said these attacks were carried out “in response to attempts by the Kyiv regime to damage Russian energy and transport facilities.”
Ukraine is on the back foot along the frontlines as it faces continued aerial assaults. In May, Russian opened up a new front with a surprise attack on north-eastern Kharkiv, exploiting Ukrainian shortages of weaponry and manpower.
The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, attending a summit of defense chiefs in Singapore, called on countries across the Asia-Pacific to join an upcoming peace summit he accused Russia of trying to thwart.
He thanked US President Joe Biden for “an important decision” to permit Ukraine to use American munitions for limited strikes within Russian territory but said it was not enough.
Last year, the Nova Kakhovka dam, a major dam and hydro-electric power plant in Russian-occupied southern Ukraine collapsed.]]]

Find out phase, engaged!

[[[The cause of the collapse is still not confirmed, though a number of civil engineering experts suggested that an explosion inside the structure was the most likely cause of the dam breach.
Several Western officials blamed Russia for the disaster at the time, either directly accusing Moscow of targeting the dam or saying that Russia was responsible simply because it is the aggressor in the war on Ukraine.
Russia denied any involvement in the disaster and in turn accused Ukraine of destroying the dam, without providing evidence.]]]
