Not the best mood among the occupiers near the Dnieper.https://t.co/gcxTKalf1X pic.twitter.com/lcbFXJCvmB

Not sure what Russia is doing here, 400k soldiers should be able to stop this fairly easily and yet it grows.

Still, no excitement until Ukraine establishes a permanent bridgehead, until then this won't amount to much at all.

I think Russia has almost no operational reserve and most of their reserves are or have already been transferred to Avdiivka for the assault on the city salient.

They also probably were thinking that Ukraine would not be able to cross the Dniepr in any meaningful numbers to allow more than just simple, small raids.

Belgium will allocate half of the €1.7 billion Ukraine fund to the military and the other half to civilian aid. Ukraine definitely needs this support

At least something Belgium can do to support Ukraine. This should help Ukraine a lot financing the war and reconstruction.

Also good to see Germany supplying lots of ammo to Ukraine with this order, though the question is how long their production will take.
