After 4 months of the Lyman counter-attack, Ukraine 🇺🇦 3rd Army Corps managed to cut russian 🇷🇺 salient north of Lyman and liberate more than 200 km2 This is one of the most important victory for Ukraine in 2026 which will delay the offensive on northern Donbas 🧵

Kartograf: "The Lyman direction might be officially revealed by New Year's, and a few hundred square kilometers could be liberated by then (if everything goes according to plan). We wait and pray."

Over the last 6 months, Ukraine launched a silent counter-offensive across a 50km front south of Pokrovske. ​By late 2025, russian forces threatened Zaporizhzhia after taking Huliaipole. Today, that push is halted, and UKR forces are reclaiming key ground. 🧵 1/5

Beautiful shots of an M113 from 13th NGU Brigade Khartiia - cage armor, nets, metal branches, mine plow. Nothing about this was in the manual. Crews rebuilt their own vehicles to survive FPVs. Legendary.

A short tale

#Kupyansk Just a reminder that in mid-November of last year, Gerasimov informed Putin of the "liberation" of this city. During the winter, the AFU launched numerous counterattacks, almost completely driving the Russians out of Kupyansk. Only isolated pockets of resistance remained.

When he's right he's right

#Oleksandrivka Z-Blogger Radov recently started complaining that the AFU is attacking Komar. As a reminder, this village was captured by the RuAF last summer. If this information is true, it would mean that Ukraine has pushed back the Russian offensive by as much as 13-14 km.

Russia’s fuel crisis jumps from 15 to 25 regions in five days—plus six occupied Ukrainian areas The Russian Energy Ministry created a task force on 8 June to handle the gasoline shortage amid “growing enemy air attacks,” but the crisis continued spreading anyway. euromaidanpress.com/2026/06/11/r...

Hemingway observed in his 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises that one goes bankrupt “gradually and then suddenly.” The same can be said of armies. My latest at The Bulwark. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-a-rus...

What a Russian Army Collapse Might Look Like

The Ukrainians are trying to break the Russian military—and they just might do it.

1/ Ukraine appears to have attacked Russian aircraft under cover in concrete shelters, likely with drones flown into the entrances. Details are as yet scant. ⬇️

This morning's keynote at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, "Drone Sanctions and their effect on the Russian oil industry", has started. Bonus: the keynote is streaming online, for free. I hope all of the attendees are taking detailed notes.

For weeks, Irish politicians have dodged questions about the refinery in Ireland supplying russia’s war machine. So @caolanrob.bsky.social tracked down government minister Niall Collins He refuses to back sanctions & his stance was worse than I expected. Avoidance! #Alumina21

The Russian occupation in Ukraine faces a "catastrophic" situation, according to alarmed Russian warbloggers. "Total drone terror" is now taking place across the entire occupied area, with no place being safe any more. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/spec...

Operators of the 3rd Assault Brigade’s Unmanned Systems Battalion struck Russian logistics targets in Luhansk Oblast, reaching as far as the Izvaryne border checkpoint at distances approaching 200 km from the front line

A Russian military analyst says occupiers now face 20 to 70 Ukrainian drones each, making advances nearly impossible. He wraps up by wishing them luck.

The 1st Assault Regiment has published a 7+ min video on the use of a Vector UAV — which are largely funded by the German government — during their reconnaissance missions. I finally had enough time to work on English subtitles for you. Video on my YouTube channel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSz-...

Was ein krasses Bild aus Aleppo. Auf jedem Dach steht eine Solaranlage. Syriens Stromnetz wurde durch den Krieg massiv geschwächt. Jetzt versorgen sich die Menschen mit PV einfach selbst. Ein tolles Beispiel, wie man sich selbst in schwierigster Lage, ein kleines Stück Unabhängigkeit bewahren kann🙏

Dear @darthputinkgb.bsky.social, could you remind us what our current red lines are, and why Ukraine can target all of our refineries more than 1,000 km away, while its allies are still bound by restrictions that prevent them from supplying Taurus missiles?

Ukraine is now destroying more than 30 Russian air defense systems a month. They are on pace to destroy over 300 Russian air defense systems this year.

#Oleksandrivka Do you like good news before the weekend? Well, Ukrokkupant reports that two villages on this direction are completely crossing into the blue zone: Berezove and Pryvillia. Furthermore, Ukrainians have entered Vorone.

#Zaporozhzhia Z-Bloggers reported that AFU has been carrying out intensive attacks in Stepnohirsk. Shalin informs that almost the entire city has been liberated, and the Russians are holding out in high-rise buildings on the southern outskirts. The city center is being cleared of isolated group.👍
