Huba Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Ukrainians are reportedly counterattacking across mos of the Bakhmut front, not only in the north, but also in Krasne and eastern part of the city itself. Reserves are being committed by the UA side. Caution is of course advised on these claims, but it looks quite good: Also, to add an insult to the injury, the kessel that is being created is shaped just like a thingy: Edited February 26, 2023 by Huba 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertFox Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 2 hours ago, Haiduk said: UPD about claimed explosions on Belaruisain airfield Machulishchi Belarusian sourse "Belaruskiy Gayun" claims A-50 "AWACS" can be damaged because of ammunition was dropped from the air. Likely drone attack. Still no confirmations. If this true, this can interfere to coming missile strike, because A-50 on the eve of strikes and during first salvo usually try to detect our AD positions. I really hope they got the A-50! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for this result Belarusians will ask from khokhols. And we will help with all forces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are "twitter experts", there's no way they will link their sources But in general Artur Micek is quite reliable, and reportedly has some contacts on the ground. But given Wolski is also posting this, it has to be present on some more mainstream Telegram channels too.

sburke Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Seems China doesn't really believe what it posted for a Ukraine proposal. From the G20 meeting G-20 meeting in India ends without consensus on Ukraine war (yahoo.com) Quote The second paragraph of the declaration, which is now unacceptable to Russia and China, said, "It is essential to uphold international law and the multilateral system that safeguards peace and stability. ... The use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is inadmissible. The peaceful resolution of conflicts, efforts to address crises, as well as diplomacy and dialogue, are vital. Today’s era must not be of war." Shocked I am! Edited February 26, 2023 by sburke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamEndedAllen Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 2 hours ago, The_Capt said: Ya not sure where this is coming from and why. I mean the UA is holding on while the RA breaks itself (again), so it is logical that like last time they will follow up with an offensive - this cycle can repeat a few more times at least. So I do not know where the crisis is in all this that would signal that Ukraine needs to sue for peace. I am far more willing to believe that Russia is running to China for a solution as things on their end are more likely approaching breaking points. NATO nations suddenly knocking knees does not track - sounds more like Russian wishful thinking to be honest. Yes, let’s hope so. The political stuff going on in NATO back rooms *might* be leaking a bit though. Talks about one (or two?) members unwilling to budge on admitting more new candidates, whether Sweden or Ukraine. So some members float an alternative way forward for Ukraine. And also as a kinda sorta semi-concession for Russian face-saving for a potential peace plan. I haven’t heard any talk at all for a very long time about NATO membership for Ukraine. So possibly some members are trying out compromise possibilities? I think we all agree that so long as the Western military aid continues to flow, Ukraine should be growing stronger, while Russia struggles to tread water. It’s that caveat about political will and how it varies in each country that is always a bit worrisome the longer the war continues. We all know that is the wild card, the only one that Russia can hope for to get something out of the deep mess it’s mired in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiduk Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Today's evening "Madyar" report doesn't tell about any UKR counter-offensive on the north. He just tells about north - "changable situation", "despite tough enemy pressure we keep control over situation" and "I can't detalize it now". Also he told about a weather - a thaw came to Bakhmut, snow is melting, terrain is very muddy, fog around. Here is some skirmish from Bakhmut outskirts - water and mud in the trench Edited February 26, 2023 by Haiduk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that 46 Brig. (that is supposed to leading the counterattack along 17th Thank) arrived later into the area, he may have less contacts there as he stated once. But we should wait, it seems as very risky move- Russians have a lot of firepower at hand there. But you are right attack seems to be connected to flooding- Ukrainians probably try to create some artificial barrier as next line of defence, NW of Bakhmut. Mud season is coming closer every day, which can turn part of this terrain into marsh and help stabilize the front. Interesting development.

It is now in my folder of humorous memes from this war As funny as this is, it is a pretty good way to frame how badly the war is going for Russia because almost none of the things in the meme are exaggerated.
