      Seriously the media needs to use more words like these… “Penetration” , “Thrusting into” , "etc …

      It would just grate on 'ol Pootie so nicely.

        Ukraine thrusts deep into Russia as Russia pushes back gently, but while whimpering quietly. Ukraine pulls russias hair and leans in close, whispering “take it all, whore”

      I mean, Ukraine does not have the ability to hold anything or do a sustained push. It would be foolish to try.

      Going in, destroying supplies and infrastructure, and then leaving is the smart move unless there are good choke points to hold.

        Obviously, they can’t go all the way to Moscow but Kursk or bust doesn’t have the same ring to it.

      Little more time and a little more progress, Ukraine will sort that call out to their own.

      It looks like they’re actually telling the truth this time. For the record Kursk is 80km from the border. If the Ukrainians even manage to touch Kursk it’ll be a big deal. So the Kremlin is probably trying to buy a little credibility so they can deny that as long as possible.

      Noncredibledefense has updates, but may not qualify as a “good place.” Extremely meme focused.

        I love noncredibledefense and get a lot of my news from there. But unfortunately it’s not as active as on Reddit, but I REFUSE to go back there. We need to do something to recruit more people.

          Same here. I see there are lots of subs that I would like to start, but I don’t want to be responsible for moderating, myself.

        It would be so cool to get one to develop that’s even close to the size as the one on reddit. Ever since I got off Reddit, I’ve missed those subs a lot. But I REFUSE to go back.

      Not Lemmy but there’s frequent updates at ISW, (Institute for the Study of War). Just google ISW Ukraine to get their report page.

    September 22 starts Fall. Winter is coming.

    Tell them not to get stuck in Russia. I hear it’s bad strategy.

    The deeper they get, I imagine the more ammunition stashes they’ll pass. I wonder how much they’ve been able to claim.

      I would assume not much, it’s an incursion. Meaning they don’t have the infrastructure to ship it back. If they find any caches, they probably would take what they can use quickly, and destroy the rest.

        That all makes sense. I saw today they have captured at least one tank which is nice.

        They’ve penetrated two prepared defence lines which they may want to hunker down in later so shipping ammo back to those would be less hassle.

        There’s some talk of them potentially holding that gas plant to force Russia to destroy it to dislodge them too, cutting off gas to Hungary while making Russia the one that does it. Muuuaahahaha.

        The whole thing is fascinating. Really looking forward to the Perun video on it which will hopefully be next week.

          That would be fucking awesome.

          Of course the narrative will be ‘Ukraine forced our hand.’ but everyone, of course, will know better.

          Actually, I hadn’t thought about that aspect of the incursion. They can potentially disrupt a large amount facilities that give them the remaining export abilities they still have.

    This isn’t the meme where mist of the guard have gone to fight “over there” and so left like two guards for the place is it? Be funny if it was.

      Once you get passed the line of defense, very little stops you from traveling inland except how much road you have in front of you.

      That said, this sounds more and more like a suicide mission. No way they’ve got 30km of supply lines to support this advance, and its just a matter of time before they’re encircled.

        That’s like…a short drive. In a supply convoy going over rough terrain looking out for drones, maybe a couple hours.
