This is quite remarkable indeed. Hugely embarrassing for the Kremlin and the latest in a new paradigm of cross-border attacks that is getting worse for Moscow all the time. https://t.co/B2GlMsHckz

This moment should not be underestimated.
Among the reactions we see from Shebekino residents there is a lot "WTF!? Where is the state!? Where is Putin in this!?" https://t.co/YjFnsqsCjZ

Der Spiegel's intrepid reporters discover what most of us knew for years (I talk about it in my WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT PUTIN), that Putin's KGB career was lacklustre and his Dresden role more Miss Moneypenny than Bond...https://t.co/98SlMYGnEM

How did Ukraine prepare for the counteroffensive? We spent time with the brand-new 47th brigade, whose commanders war-gamed their assaults with NATO instructors in Germany. The brigade, expected to be the tip of the spear, received all of the Bradleys. https://t.co/ZlreRINsr8
— Isabelle Khurshudyan (@ikhurshudyan) June 4, 2023

The brigade's leadership trained with computers that simulated situations they might face in real life. Deputy commander Maj. Ivan Shalamaha and others planned their assaults and then let the program show them the results — how their Russian enemies might respond, where they could make a breakthrough and where they would suffer losses.

Shalamaha said the first tasks working with KORA, a war-game simulator designed for NATO forces, were to plan make-believe operations on foreign soil against a pretend enemy. The instruction progressed to focus on what lies ahead for Ukraine's military this summer. By the end, Shalamaha was working alongside commanders of other brigades expected to fight in the counteroffensive, coordinating their actions to test how they'd work together on the battlefield.

Others in the 47th brigade received training specific to the weapons or vehicles they'd be receiving, first learning the basics of how to operate them, then how to incorporate them as a single battle unit and then alongside other units.

Ukraine's Ministry of Defense published a video on June 4 saying that "plans love silence" and that "there will be no announcement about the beginning," presumably of the upcoming much-anticipated counteroffensive.
