This is the Grey Zone now:
Lots of pictures of Russian losses on the Kharkiv front, the storming doesnāt seem to bear much fruit at least today.
Mild example not very graphic and suitable for publication :

Thing is, Ukraine knew about this and stockpiled crucial artillery munitions in advance. Munitions that they desperately need elsewhere on the Eastern Front, but very prudently stockpiled some here to blunt this first Russian echelon.
Evacuation of Ukrainian towns and villages is underway.
Pre-emptively I assume?
Yes.

Not sure what this is, hope itās a gathering of Russian officials there. That has been the case in the past and they are using valuable HIMARS for this, so canāt be an unimportant target.

Grim stage, where the hysteresis of starving a front for munitions and arms snaps back. Even if the taps turned on today, the situation might not be recoverable.
Guess the Russiapublicans are winning.
All the dithering over sending arms to Ukraine might have tilted this war to Russia. I donāt know what has happened to America. I donāt understand how it can look at Putin and shrug its shoulders and say not my problem.
The Republicans have lost their moral compass, geopolitically, both in allowing this, and enabling Israel. Shitshow.
Is the end game in sight?
They are Republicans in name only. The orange turd has mutated them into a rabid, belligerent, gullible and incredibly stupid mob. Whoever has remained of the old party is on the outside, looking in.
They faithfully carried out their masterās bidding by withholding Ukraineās aid for 8 months and now heās reaping the benefits. As Tusk pointedly put it, Reagan must be turning in his grave.
The orange turd and his moronic followers are Putinās 5th column in the US.
