Sit back, enjoy the show, wait for the panic.
— Def Mon (@DefMon3) May 11, 2023

There's starting to be a slight uncomfortable feeling in the Russian telegram channels. The last few days there have been reports about a "river" crossing close to Velyka Novosilka. There are also some local counter attacks with success in the Bakhmut area. pic.twitter.com/7hduXCl2wv

It seems units of the RU 3rd Army Corps have been holding the line in the area SW of Bakhmut. These are rapidly trained personnel which were recruited last summer. Their losses are now being replaced by mobik regiments. I think it's likely Azov will eat them for breakfast. pic.twitter.com/cZwBiEqZVc

I think it's likely we are seeing UA shaping operations to force a reaction from the Russians. I find it unlikely Bakhmut direction will be the main effort of a UA offensive.

Numerous reports in Russian channels about Ukrainian forces having begun a larger offensive in several directions. This follows reports of Wagner struggling in Bakhmut in the recent days. Current reports are very conflicting, some mention Ukrainians moving towards Russian border. We still have to see if any of this is real, but the situation is rather similar to September and November regroupings.

Doubt it, Ukraine is likely just performing shaping operations, poking at the Russians, baiting them into traps but the Russians are panicking already.

They have no confidence in their own army, they have no leadership, the panic is setting in, Ukraine is attacking everywhere! Lol.

Not surprised here. Steven Seagal could be their mayor.

Russia also offered to resettle Afrikaners in Russia at one time.
