Brief recap:

Mid-July to late August, Ukraine systematically targeted russian supply lines around Kherson, Kharkiv, Crimea, Donbas & other areas. The 80km HIMARS range, and other undisclosed arms allowed clinical strikes. The AFU warned of an imminent Kherson counter offensive

Just in case you are still not informed. Ukraine has launched the greatest counteroffensive since World War II. Ukraine has regained/liberated over 1,000 km of land & cities. Ukraine is winning. Ukraine is defeating Russia (once thought to be the second most powerful military)!

Ukrainian Armed Forces are now on the outskirts of #Lysychansk in #Donbass.
Also, it is reported that Ukraine is struggling with the sheer number of Russian POWs. Thousands upon thousands.

No panic? Russian tank in Kharkiv Oblast flees Ukrainian forces, shedding Russian soldiers as it goes, and then crashes into a tree. pic.twitter.com/QjixpexAXz

If not trap to take Kharkiv, then puzzle of the century.

Russians don't want even to defend cities that can be defended for a month by aprox. 3000 troops. https://t.co/HidqmcaXzZ
