Both sides. Reality and fantasy. Facts and bullshít. Spherical earth and flat earth. Consuming information from "both sides" as you put it isn't always the best way to remain informed. If on the one hand you have facts that are backed up with evidence from one crowd and on the other you have absolute drivel that's contradicted by reality from another, the truth isn't somewhere in between. The trick to being informed is to use reliable sources and discard useless ones. You probably know this already, which is why you don't bother with both sides in the flat earth debate to get a fuller picture. This war needs the same basic idea as that to be understood. Listening to the side that's drunk and lying all the time can only make you less informed.
Regarding ns2, I don't know but I would want to know who said it and in what context and what they mean by sooner.
Snihurivka in Kherson rumoured as being abandoned by the Russians.
Huge if true, this is one of the lynch pins of the Russian defence.
I saw a video of Ukrainian medics working on one of those POS, using forceps to retrieve a bullet or shrapnel from his side, while he was conscious.
Reckon they might bypass it, force russian forces to withdraw or be cut off. Better to have them run away than fight.
The Orcs are confirmed to have mined the first and second reactors of the ZNPP.
I think this comes from a Ukrainian inspector who I am assuming accompanied the IAEA inspection team.
a certain nuclear power plant is only a few towns away from the liberators, will they make a B line toward it or toward Kherson?

Maybe kim jong un can throw a tantrum and give us a break
Very interesting post. I'd read previously that the Wagners were called back from Bakhmut to assist elsewhere but did their own thing.
And its not just that they're losing them, as in blown up or incapacitated. Alot of these lost tanks are working and are being abandoned. The Ukrainians are actually using the tanks that were firing at them on Monday to fire at the Russians on Tuesday. It's a worst of all worlds situation for Russia
Can't wait for tomorrow's episode of "Russia Threatens to Use Nuclear Weapons and then Doesn't Use Nuclear Weapons"
If it weren't such a serious thing, it'd be kinda funny.
He complains about not having a death penalty, completely failing to understand that mobilisation and then engaging the Ukrainian armed forces without any training is as good a substitute as makes no difference.
I'm getting distinct hunger game vibes off this lot where the deaths and suffering among the underclass don't matter and that entertaining the elite with endless victories is their only purpose, and failing to do that is seen as a capital crime.
"Russian Foreign Ministry threatens that U.S. weapons supply to Ukraine brings direct armed conflict between Russian and NATO closer"
What's new - how many times have they rolled that out???
Russian Foreign Ministry threatens that U.S. weapons supply to Ukraine brings direct armed conflict between Russian and NATO closer
The United States has no indication that Russia is preparing to use nuclear weapons, despite "nuclear saber-rattling" by Russian President Vladimir Putin, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.
The US attempting to deescalate and Russia saber-rattling some more- a contrast
So they don't know themselves very well as apparently some of the Russian forces run away and other parts are disorganised & corrupt. They kinda dismissed the Ukrainian army which has now adapted to new equipment and tactics. So basically he's admitting they're f***ed.
The bit about people shooting themselves is interesting - just who would he be pointing at! Mightn't be long for that job.
Looks like Ukraine has been making rapid progress today, especially in Kherson Oblast (confirmed by Zelensky in his nightly TV address this evening).

Police state, martial law coming to Crimea
I don't think there were any lost to enemy fire in the first war, though I am tracking two knocked out. The second one is a bit trickier, as technically Cojone Eh was scuttled as they didn't want to waste time recovering it. There have also been a number penetrated but not destroyed, but they would have been taken out of the fight at least temporarily.
Well, I think that's over-stating the effect of the air force there. The battle was pretty much already decided by the time the skies had cleared up. The North had been decided by artillery. Craploads of artillery. The largest concentration of artillery the US Army has ever fielded, actually. The center was an defeated mainly by an armored division (and thensome, the 106th Infantry gets short shrift), and the Southern thrust, which went the furthest, was defeated by the enthusiastic blowings-up-of-things by combat engineers, who apparently like playing with explosives a lot.
I absolutely would if I had a spare 40k
Russian troops after Lyman retreat said they where given a assault rifle,4 rounds and a knife?
Saw it reported on Twitter that Russia have suffered 5000 casualties in Kherson region over the last few days. I won’t post the link for fear of offending those who don’t seem to appreciate Twitter.

Solovyov advocates for the restoration of the death penalty, because people refuse to shoot themselves.
Ah now, that's just not true. There's been Russian officials who've shot themselves in the head. Some even shot themselves in the head twice, just to really make sure they were dead.
Big crater in Rovenki district of Belgorod region after explosion overnight. Possible Iskander missile failure after launch. Also missile of Pantsyr system found

Ahh go on...

Everything is going according to plan in Russia
At least in the fields they are getting some action man on man 👬
Probably wishing they were posting on here and not in an empty field with the rest of the conscripts.
Ukrainian special forces (seals) operating in Kherson,
Nothing unusual except one particular guy is wearing some pretty fancy and very expensive panoramic (4 tube) night vision goggles,
I've not seen them being used outside of US special forces, price tag of around $40,000 each .
