Am I alone in anticipating the next wave of significant geopolitical changes on the post-Soviet space akin to those during Gorbachev's Perestroika? #Belarus fears being severed from #Russia due to #Ukraine's unfolding success in Kursk.

Russia ‘rapidly approaching’ key Ukraine city despite Kursk setback​

Russia is “rapidly approaching” a key military hub in eastern Ukraine, a local official has said, as Moscow continues its advances despite Kyiv’s surprise gains in its enemy’s Kursk region.

While Pokrovsk is not a major city – about 60,000 people lived there before the war and many have left since the start of the full-scale invasion – it serves as a key hub for the Ukrainian military thanks to its easy access to Kostiantynivka, another military center.

Ukrainian troops use the road connecting the two to resupply the front lines and evacuate casualties toward Dnipro.


Serhii Dobriak, head of the Pokrovsk city military administration, urged the community there to evacuate without delay.

“The enemy is rapidly approaching the outskirts of Pokrovsk,” he said in a Telegram post on Thursday.

His warning is proof that Moscow has not relented in its attack on other parts of Ukraine, despite Kyiv’s successful incursion across the border over the past week, a major development after two-and-a-half years of open conflict.
“They are a bit more than 10 kilometers (about 6.2 miles) from the outskirts of Pokrovsk,” he said, adding that the situation “is only getting worse.”

For months, Russia has been stretching Ukrainian defenses across the entire front line, trying to capture as much territory as possible before new Ukrainian recruits and fresh batches of Western weapons start arriving on the battlefield.
The city’s capture would bring Russian President Vladimir Putin closer to his goal of seizing all of the eastern Ukrainian regions of Luhansk and Donetsk.

Kostiantynivka is the southernmost part of a belt of four Ukrainian cities – with Druzhkivka, Kramatorsk and Sloviansk – that form the backbone of Ukraine’s defenses of the region, so any progress of Russian troops toward the city is significant.

Officer of Ukraine’s 59th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade Serhii Tsehotskyi told Ukrainian national broadcaster Suspilne on Friday that Ukraine’s incursion into Russia had not led to a decrease in Moscow’s attacks in the Donetsk region. He said Russian attempts to advance do not stop “for a minute,” and “the battles continue around the clock.”
 
Enemy always get a vote. However unlike the Russians having to slum it with North Korean replacement equipment, the UA will simply move up a pair and unwrap a set in Poland that say “Made in the USA” and still have that new MLRS smell. Oh and there will be replacements enroute, no charge to the Ukraine.

A bonus for the Ukraine because I’m not sure what a set of Multiple Rockets go for in goats. (Yes North Korea has chosen goats rather than rubles for payment)
 
So @elonmusk sent Chechen terrorist leader Kadyrov a Tesla cybertruck to which he immediately fitted a machine gun and said it would be sent to fight in Putin's war in Ukraine.
Kadyrov wrote a love letter to Musk on Telegram, gushing praise and inviting him to Grozny.

Not that it's logistically possible to have an electric powered vehicle such as a Tesla on the front lines of a war........... nonetheless this is extremely hilarious trolling from the Chechens. 😂
 

Georgy Zakrevski, the head of the private military company (PMC) Paladin, has made a dramatic call for the Russian military to overthrow President Vladimir Putin.
Accordingto Ziare this marks one of the most significant threats to Putin’s regime since the Wagner Group’s revolt last year.

Zakrevski, founder of PMC Paladin, a relatively obscure military group with around 300 members, has issued a blistering critique of Putin’s leadership. In a video statement, Zakrevski blamed Putin for Russia’s military setbacks in Ukraine and accused him of being the root cause of the country’s economic and social problems.

“Our country is not just on the brink of disaster; it is already experiencing major issues,” Zakrevski declared and continued:

“Drones are flying over central Russia, even reaching Moscow and St. Petersburg. They have even attacked the Kremlin. Our Black Sea Fleet is being pushed out as if we were a third-rate country. Our aviation is practically non-functional because it, too, is being pushed out. We are in the same positions we were in over two years ago, and in some cases, we’ve retreated.”
