Russia has built a facility to house said nukes. It was in the news last month or the month before.

They have talked about it for months and they were supposed to be delivered next month so it is not taken out of the air, but real proof that they have arrived?
Not what I know.

They at least made a public claim that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko wouldn't hesitate to use nuclear weapons.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/belarus-lukashenko-wouldnt-hesitate-use-russian-nuclear-weapons-rcna89018
"Putin said during Fridays meeting with Lukashenko that work on building facilities for the nuclear weapons will be completed by July 7-8, and they will be moved to Belarusian territory quickly after that."

Counter offensive is going pretty decent all things considered. Funny how Russian propaganda bots haven't realized you can't troll your way out of actual boots on the ground doing the work.

Hey op can you throw the serious tag on this topic to prevent trolling? Thanks
Just want to thank you for posting this because it's been so hard to find solid information over the past few days because of the reddit blackout
Sure! I used to jumpstart the Ukraine War chain threads on 261 before it got... you know.

Evidently it's slowing down because of weather. Hopefully it doesn't give Russia time to reinforce with men, materiel, and fortifications.

We'll find out July 1st, as that's the deadline for them--and all other PMCs--to sign contracts with the Russian MoD.

Yeah, those numbers seem...embellished, to say the least.

If there were that many Russian casualties already that means the Ukrainians are mopping the floor with their main defenses. They're still 10s of kilometers away from the main defenses in areas with the most movement though.

https://twitter.com/randymot4/status/1668881740352352258

If they were inflicting casualties like that where they are close to the main defenses (like south of Lobkove) I feel like there would be some kind of major breakthrough in that area.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


The last report of gains, according to DeepState map anyways, is in this area west of Klishchiivka

Russia got elections the 10th September, and they plan to hold them in the occupied parts of Ukraine as well.
The question is, have Ukraine taken them back by then?

I think that was outside of Bakhmut or Kherson? I really hope that dude's still alive.

I want this to be true, but this is the same dude you quoted a few poats back with the unbelievable numbers. I need to see this corroborated by other sources.

Props for the map porn, though.

It was really early in the war. Before the Russians retreated from Kyiv.

I think it was around the time of that big Russian convoy that got bogged down

The Ukrainians have now resumed the process of clearing the northern Russian flank around Bakhmut.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhJamnwakv0

They're really keeping the Russians guessing where they're going to strike next and we haven't even seen the big mechanized assaults yet that we saw in Kharkiv and Kherson, but it looks like the Ukrainians are still shaping the battlefield at this stage of the counteroffensive; probing defenses, destroying concentrations of supplies and personnel, eliminating grey zones between them and the Russian defenses, things like that.

They're doing all this along the entire front so the Russians are forced to spread themselves thin to defend all the areas under attack while the Ukrainians are more than capable of deploying their reserves strategically across the entire frontline.

The BBC have identified more than 25,000 named Russians who have died in Ukraine, that's more than 4 times what the Kremlin is reporting.

The actual number of Russian dead is much more.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-829ea0ba-5b42-499b-ad40-6990f2c4e5d0

Soviet losses in Afghanistan over a 9 year period was between 14,000 to 26,000 for some context.
