Ukraine has the initiative in this war, Ukrainian General Staff running rings around the Russian General Staff. War is a test of Will and a test of Logistics. Ukraine is superior to Russia in both. Do our Leaders have superior Will to the Kremlin? https://t.co/WaqDHNxXJj

Russia forces pulled up a lot of heavy armor into Novoprokopivka to prevent the AFU from entering. There are serious successes by a certain brigade, paving the way for further advances. Most of the trenches in the area are under (close range fire) control.

Keep going guys 👊

WarGonzo in his early updated notes serious problems on the Robotyne front.

➡️AFU once again switched on to the offensive
➡️AFU managed to reach outskirts of Novoprokopivka and got close to Verbove (actually much closer than he states) and improved positions on the flanks of… pic.twitter.com/y8WFbzkrUt

The AFU is nearing #Verbove proper. Secondary fortification line (except in the south closer to Novoprokopivka) was likely overrun earlier this week. pic.twitter.com/Dz2iLW31F7

Likely, yet another successful hit on the Kursk-Khalino Airbase. Earlier, the Russian MoD claimed to intercept Ukrainian UAVs. The Flightbomber channel now extends its condolences to the Russian servicemen pic.twitter.com/2MWJLBv4ag

Karma's a bitch.

Shame Netherlands can't get him but looks like he ain't having a good time at least.

Probably wishes he was in a Dutch prison now.

JFC. That's an insane hit, a fucking Admiral and 34 Officers.

Storm Shadow racking up quite the kill count.

What a Country With Barely a Navy Has Managed to Achieve Against a Global Superpower.

Moskva: Flagship of the Black Sea Fleet and the Most Powerful Warship in the Region - Destroyed
Rostov-Na-Donu: Kilo Class Submarine - Destroyed
Raptor Class Patrol Boat - x3 Destroyed and x2 Damaged
High Speed Assault Boat - x1 Destroyed
Small Patrol Boat - x1 Destroyed
Tapir Class Landing Ship - x1 Destroyed
Ropucha Class Landing Ship - x1 Destroyed and x2 Damaged.
Serna Class Landing Crafting - x1 Destroyed
Rescue Tug - x1 Destroyed
Natya Minesweeper - x1 Destroyed

Viktor Sokolov - Commander of the Black Sea Fleet/Admiral - Killed
Andrei Paliy: Deputy Commander of the Black Sea Fleet - Killed
Anton Kuprin: Commander of Moskva - Killed

Before the war, I imagine the Russian Navy would have thought they would have been safe.

Funny thing to add, Sokolov (now dead) replaced the former Black Sea Fleet Commander (Igor Osipov) after Putin sacked him.

Back to Igor? Lmao.
