talk about overreacting. It is fecking war, both sides will hit stuff.It's in central Ukraine far from the front. Russian sources say it's a ammunition depot but I have doubts about that, from the video the explosion looks more like some type of fuel or chemical depot.
These things happen in war though, im sure its not the first time. Question is how did the Russians get the intelligence on whatever that is.
Give it Giggseh.
Wtf, really - All I said was if it were Ukraine hitting this, it would be all over the news - heck, we see posts of Russians fleeing a bunker and it makes news but the first I’ve read about this is on the caf. I’m not saying anything about it being the end of the war or the tide has turned etc. there’s no over reaction in my post other than your reply
Your overreaction is in immediately assuming it was Western-donated stuff that got blown up. It could very well be but we don't know that yet.
The attack was real, the video apparently wasn't. All over Twitter that it is footage from Iran from over a year ago.
Looking increasingly like Lukashenko drank the tea.
It's a fun joke but he was apparently already ill when he arrived in Moscow
Looks like the AFU advances further north and south of Bakhmut and mskes some other small gains as well. Still not a large scale offensive, but nice nonetheless.
What if there are no large scale offensive plans, just talk about it to scare and confuse the Russians?
Maybe the real offensive is lots of little attacks in many areas to gain back ground?

The status quo doesn't work for Ukraine, so they definitely do have plans for large scale offensives.
He didn't claim it did, but the question on the the scale of offensive operations is interesting. Doing lots of small, tactically succesful attacks without ever launching a truly large scale attack would gain ground, would confuse the Russians and most importantly could probably be made with less losses than large scale frontal attacks.
I think both of you are right - we see a lot of small operations right now to get tactical wins and to probe the Russians, and at some point we will see larger scale operations.
Eh, I guess. I tend to think that doing lots of small, tactically successful attacks to gain ground is a large scale offensive. Or at least close enough where it doesn't really make any difference.
It looks like the smarter move IMO. Right now the RA is between a rock and a hard place regarding Bahkmut. If they don't send reinforcements there they risk losing the city they were gambling the most on and get a lot of political backlash. However, if they send them, they risk weakening other important battlefronts, most of which are candidates for a UA general offensive (Dnieper river East bank, Zaporzhizhia/Melitopol, the road to Mariupol/Berdiansk, Kreminna/Svatove and even other parts of Luhansk).
One of the things Ukraine has been doing right is keep Russia ignorant about their planned initiatives. Let's hope they keep doing that.
They’ll be unearthing bodies for a decade…

That's quite unnerving to say the least.
Much much longer. The current war is fought where WW2 was fought as well and sometimes while digging trenches they unearth bodies from that war, 80 years ago.
Isn't there a death rule in this thread? I'd spoiler that since it's right there.
Good call.
Prigozhin is gonna need to avoid drinks and windows for awhile
Amazing.
Everything currently happening around Bakhmut indicates that Ukraine tries to deepen the rift between Wagner and the MoD. One should take this story with a grain of salt as it might just be psyops.
As insane as this war criminal is, I don't really believe he wanted to commit treason. He loves his status and life too much, aims maybe at a high political career. It wouldn't surprise me if that information is spread by his foes in Russia or even Ukraine to widen the rift between Wagner and the Russian MoD.
But it doesn't really matter if it's the truth or not in the end. The distrust in him grows and that is good for Ukraine.
"Russia must not win this war". This pathetic bootlicker is still afraid to say Russia must lose this war. It wouldn't surprise me, if his
Is he still taking phone calls from Putin? Surely, even Macron must be tired of the KGB-agent's paranoid ramblings by now.
WUT?
I find that hard to believe tbh. It would make the fighter jets death traps for even minor collisions.
No doubt which one of Scholz, Macron and Sunak Zelenskyy likes the most
