Doesn’t look much like a town on google earth, just looks like a few buildings, some fields and woods

Yeah, it looks to have been habited within a 400m x 200m area. That doesn't sound like a town to me..? There are a couple of dozen other scattered dwellings close by... about the size of Maltby...Doesn’t look much like a town on google earth, just looks like a few buildings, some fields and woods
Everything they have occupied so far is in the grey zone, border towns and villages. No defences could be built there because they'd have been in arty range from Russia. My mate i pretty much fully tied uop with our project this week, but he may have updates from Tank Girl which I will pass on if I can. AFAIK, russian casualties have been high... both in personnel and equipment. And they have still got nowhere near the UAF zero line I don't think.

Yeah, yeah. Don't think we're too stupid to notice this all coincided with Eurovison. There's no need to be embarrassed. Well, there is a bit.
Oh he effin hates it as well. Imagine the scene. He is staying in the same hotel as the Israeli entry. Security at the entrance to the hotel found themselves with a rather large fella in plain clothes, (legally) carrying a loaded weapon. To use his words "I may have been a donkey's ass about it". He's oop north in lapland now though.Defender 4x4

After months and months fighting a war against a corrupt and illegal aggressor. Ukraine have done miracles whilst been drip fed arms from the EU and the US. It's time for the US and the EU to stop sitting on the fence and back Ukraine to rid Ukraine of Putin's puppets.

I would like to think there’s a bit more to it than that, as far as the EU go.
It seems the Ukraine forces have told the EU that aggressively striking back at RF positions is too expensive in personnel. They’re employing elastic defense and sucking RF infantry in, in huge numbers, costing people and equipment.
People they can largely replace. No so equipment.
So it’s a calculation. When is the RF going to be at its most vulnerable to strike at? Until then it’s more of the same.
To remember the beginning. Missiles on Kyiv. 40 km tank columns rolling towards the city. Swathes of Ukraine forcibly occupied by genocidal Russian forces.

Today, Ukraine is attacking the Russian Black Sea fleet in its, supposedly safe, hide-away. More refineries hit and a munitions factory hit in Russia.
Kharkiv is back in Ukraine and being staunchly defended. Russian air assets and AD in Crimea have been crippled again.
Kherson, north of the river is back in Ukraine (soon to be followed by south of the river .... and then Crimea).
Bear this in mind when hearing/readin stories of foreboding. Putin's gangster will be defeated. They are already fighting amongst themselves.
I am not a war mongerer by any stretch. But I understand that most of these Ukrainian defenders were not soldiers. They were teachers, artists, plumbers, hairdressers etc They didn't want to be at war.
Slava Ukraini.

A lad from work (Estonian) went to see this in that London a couple of weeks ago for a one off show at Leicester Square. He said it’s quite remarkable in its “ordinariness” - over 2 years in and how from the then excitement and fury seen in the early months in this film has turned into frustration as the west **** about, drip feeding rather than wanting UKR to win.
When UKR win this and you want to know what the impact on people has been simply look at before and after photos of Zelenskys face
I'm going to try to help Oz get some distribution if I can.

Excellent - Oz is a really interesting follow on the twitter - Enjoys a beef, photographic memory and a backstory that sets him apart. Plus he did the definitive takedown of the Corbyn era in a decent podcast series.

According to main line media. Ukraine are desperately short of artillery shells. We have been led to believe Ukraine have a good supply of shells from various countries around the world. Have these shells been used ?

There seems to be plenty of UKR sources indicating over the past week that Artillery has started to ramp up from their side with shells being as frequent as drones to hit the invaders so I think it’s starting to get through now.
Meanwhile what the mainstream media continues to ignore in the Black Sea
