Pretty brutal, but then any Russian soldier should and can surrender.

Pretty frightening/sobering if true. It does sound however that the "demoralized" troops are predominately the territorial defense units and the more professional troops are getting better arms and support. Thankfully, the Russians are having the same problems.

FLIP-SIDE

I could not infer nearly as much as the person who captioned the video. It was apparent that this unit strongly embraces the use of small arms fire suppression in the assault with a marked absence of mortars or artillery support. They are burning through their basic load of ammo very quickly while moving forward. It's clear that they have NO concerns about resupplying with ammo from sources nearby. The lack of indirect fires or grenade launchers suggests that this was a meeting engagement rather than a deliberate attack.

2/2 Above all, it was based on wildly optimistic assessments about the welcome Russian troops would receive in Ukraine. Russia has now adopted a “strategy of attrition” and is achieving slow and costly gains in the Donbas. #StandWithUkraine

Great find; I hope it's accurate as well. We'll know within the next 24-48hrs if it's all true.

⚡️UK Defense Ministry: Russia controls 90% of Luhansk Oblast.

Russia is achieving tactical success in the Donbas and appears to hold the initiative over the Ukrainian opposition, the ministry said. Russia is likely to reach complete control of Luhansk Oblast in the next 2 weeks.

⚡️Loud explosion reported in Russian-occupied Berdiansk.

According to the city council, the explosion was heard near the port in the Russian-occupied city of Berdiansk, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, on June 2. No details have been published yet.

⚡️Taiwan bans exports of all high-tech chips to Russia, Belarus in response to war.

On June 1, the country’s economy ministry published a list of tech goods prohibited for export to both countries. The ministry included Belarus because it could help Russia bypass the ban.

Going to have a hard time replenishing some of those fancy missiles.

It's going to have an affect on everything they produce, not just missiles. From toys, to home appliances, to everyday technology.

Due to losses on the battlefield, we will have to soon discuss how Ukraine will begin to wage an insurgency campaign -

against occupying Russian forces in Donetsk, Luhansk and the entire Donbas (and possibly Kherson if the Uke counter-attack fails)

Will?

Most of the Uke strategy has been non-direct contact and hitting GLOC's. Oh and burning down every warehouse in Russia. What guerrilla tactics haven't they tried?

I think it all depends on Russia's willingness to hold the areas. It will be long and costly, but if they can hold the area for at least two generations (40-60 years) then the Annexation will stick and most people living there will identify more as Russian.

Ukraine won't be able to take back those areas unless Russia allows them to. Recently we've seen this kind of thing fail epically in the ME like in Afghanistan. Historically in Europe it's worked out a little better for occupiers, but still not great.

I disagree, see the Balkans as a reason why. And other former Soviet states that kept their identify. However Russia May relocate as many enthnic Ukrainians and backfill with Russians to soften the anitrussia stance.

Insurgency will play a role - but this may play out like the Donbass war 2014-21 ... except on steroids. With their new precision long range artillery and rockets, at least 50% of Russian occupied territory will be within range.

Really curious if this gets a response from China.

Ukraine is counterattacking in Severodonetsk. Sounds like they let Russia come in and are now hitting them with artillery.

Would this be realistic? An urban environment provides a lot of cover. Perhaps it is the case that the city is not worth defending anymore because it's so destroyed, and so a lot of that cover is defunct. Something just isn't completely adding up. Good for Ukraine if it is really happening, though.

Good report.

Best news in awhile.

My understanding from Speak the Truth is that Lusychansk in high ground above the city and across the river is going to make it quite difficult for Russia to advance much further on that front unless they cutoff supplies or surround them from the south and west.

Technical MLRS vehicle in service with the Ukrainian military. Such machines began to arrive recently.

In the group where my friend is, three such vehicles have already been received. (More expected)#Ukraine #UkraineWar @Arslon_Xudosi @Danspiun @Blue_Sauron @UAWeapons pic.twitter.com/wGpjaZAkgj

Interesting... Did they just move new air defense into that area? I feel like I don't see many reports like this in that area.

Eh? That area is deep behind Russian lines, north of Crimea.

True. Lysychansk sits 3-4 miles across the river and 300-400 ft above Severodonetsk. About the same distance as Little Round Top to Gettysburg ... except 200-300 ft higher. Just say'n.
