7:52 The Russians have occupied New York. Call of Duty moment.

[GoodTimesBadTimes]

Update: After writing the script on Tuesday, the situation has already developed:
- Russia moved even further in the direction of Pokrovsk, narrowing the gap to just 9 kilometers. The DeepState member described the Ukrainian command in this section as "disorganized and chaotic".
- Durov was released from custody on parole, but was barred from leaving France pending trial.
- Ukrainian forces conducted drone strikes against oil infrastructure in Rostov and Kirov oblasts, and reportedly conducted a drone strike against Voronezh oblast overnight on August 27-28.

We had been waiting for this for quite some time

If this carries on i’ll have to step in.

My biggest fear has finally come true. Russians raising the Russian flag in Niu-York.

It's claimed in the video more territory means needing more defenders. I disagree with this, the former border had to be defended regardless. By moving into Russia, the Ukrainians are able to target the E38 highway, amd weaken Russia logistics in the entire North. They have also taken two layers of Russian trenchs, and are likely to eventually push the Russians out to the Sjem. Overall this more defensable position with greater room to fall back lowers the number of troops required.

Lukachenko will not attack because it is harvest potato season

This push into Russia to impress the Western alliance reminds me of the ARVN's failed operations in Cambodia, let's hope this goes better for our side this time.

>> "The panic among russian military bloggers and the military stems from the fact that telegram is currently the main means of communication among the russian military, while the app's encryption prevents infiltration from the ukrainian or western side. The Russians fear that if durov, quote, betrays, and gives access to telegram to western services, all internal russian communications could be exposed."

Thank you as always for the timely and informative report. Much obliged.

[howtoappearincompletely]

An excellent overview, Mr Walas. Thank you for the update.

[adarret]

IMO this move by UKR makes more sense if they feel that hostilities may end and need a bargaining chip…

7:50 I was listening to this in the background and I stopped to think how much this war escalated 😂

[BlackWolf]

Syrsky admited the kursk attack failed with the goal of diverting russian troops away from pokrovsk (they doubled down). At this point ukraine needs to save valuable manpower/vehicles and actually defend the southern frontline which zelensky refuses to do because of political reason.

It's ironic how many 21st Americans, studying the truth about the Eastern Front in WW2, developed deep respect and gratitude toward Red Army veterans, split about occupation of Crimea... but invasion of Ukraine wiped the slate, united USA voters against the Russian Federation and Putin.

[jayybanez]

You have the most clear and graphic representation of the war updates!

Thank you for the great work.🙂👍

Russia said nukes would be an option if "territorial sovereignty" was threatened.

The Kursk offensive doesn't threaten Russian sovereignty.

[MrLucidImages]

At this point, Ukraine acting so strategically is the best damn thing they had go their way in 2024...without the combined arms materializing into operational gains, and Russia re-mobilized into such an offensive posture, the best thing they can hope for is a toe-hold in other areas ahead of a spring 2025 offensive where they regain territory along the southern front. The issue is just that it's going to cost them so much manpower to grind forward without artillery/air-power advantages in those engagements...Russia can lose a million troops and probably not care, but if Ukraine's losses keep stacking up, eventually they won't be able to recapture anything. I hate it, but unless they are planning some large scale aerial drop or naval invasion into Crimea, the hopes of holding out for anything more than a negotiated settlement whereby they lose territory is the best case scenario...they must really have something planned for next year, because I don't know how they can hope to expel russians from the Donbas or Luhansk regions without some massive material build up in that area and the use of western fighter planes. We all thought the tanks would make a big difference, but it looks like they are holding those back for potential use later as well.

It is not the first attack into territory of Russia since WW2. You forgot about border disputes about some river islands with China.
