Mobiks in Donetsk oblast are starting to panic, they are being sent into attacks against Ukrainian defences. The level of panic is evidenced from the SBU intercepted call where two men ask their wives to "raise the question on all levels".

In the last 48 hours, reports have emerged of a potential Russian withdrawal from its Dnipro west bank defensive positions. While this may fit General Surovikin’s overall strategy for #Ukraine, it will be difficult to execute successfully. 1/24

Similarly, Russia’s eight-point plan, published in December 2021 before the invasion, was not a last-ditch attempt to avoid war, but a smokescreen to disguise it. The “package”, accompanied by peremptory demands for agreement in weeks, not months, demanded the de facto withdrawal of NATO from all post-1997 members, accompanied by “written guarantees” about the alliance’s future behavior. On the brink of war, Ukraine was, in fact, prepared to discuss freezing its NATO accession plans indefinitely — but Putin was not interested.



Here is what is puzzling to me. Russia wanted written guarantees about NATOs future behavior. NATO is a defensive alliance, correct? Has NATO ever been the aggressor attacking other countries like Russia has?

Let's go for another deep dive into the murky waters of Russian propaganda: state TV host alleges that if the Democrats lose the midterms, the new US elites will try to make a deal with Russia and may get rid of Zelensky by starting a nuclear war in Europe. The weatherman agrees.

Budanov, Ukraine’s military intelligence chief, says Russia is not preparing to abandon Kherson and is instead reinforcing the city. It’s evacuating non-essential personnel so it would be able to withdraw quickly if Ukraine seizes the Kakhovka dam, cutting off the Russian force.

The Ukrainians have pledged to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian. The US is supporting them in that choice.
