#5  The Ukrainians will have easily taken Stalingrad by next Monday and should be well on the way to take Moscow by the end of the week before pushing on to the Pacific Ocean and flattening Vladivostok before august is over. The thousand year Reich is within their grasp.

#4  A few days ago the Ukrainians crossed the Dniepr and landed a raiding party at Kozachi Laheri (north of Antonovsky bridge), routed the mobiks and destroyed a recon/relief party led by a Major. Like Oleshky, the town is near the only highway from Armiansk Crimea to Zaporozhye province and a good place to cut it. Russian bloggers write that the raiding party still holds the western part of the town.

Also a fake video was released claiming some of the Ukrainians were taken prisoner. Turned out to old video from somewhere else and the Ukrainians themselves released video of several prisoners from the Russian relief party.

#3  Ukrainians crossed the small river from Staromaiorske and are attacking or have already taken the center of Urozhaine. Previously, fighting was in the northern part of the village. Status of Russian forces in the north of Urozhaine is not mentioned. Video.

#2  Well Ukraine reconquered the corridor north of Kiev and have held it.

Ukraine reconquered the area around, east and south of Kharkiv and have held it.

Ukraine reconquered the 'inside' bank of Kherson and have held it.

True, they are having a lot of trouble with the heavily mined perimeters that Russia built. Maybe they will find a way to work through it or maybe they won't.
