Russian glide bombs, drones and a ballistic missile kill 6, injure 30 in Ukraine

Kurakhove is the hot potato at the moment, which is on the south side of the Vovcha river/reservoir. Slowly but surely being enveloped. The dam wall in question is at western and Ukraine controlled end of the reservoir at Stari Terny.

Looks more of an UAF attempt to thwart the RFAF army surging in from the north-east of the reservoir, which would cut of Kurakhove from the rear by slicing the east-west road that runs through it.

Important to recognize both of these "collapsed dams" were under UAF jurisdiction. What a coincidence.

*Zelenskyy said Ukraine would conduct a “substantial reinforcement” in areas near the Donetsk settlements of Kurakhove and Pokrovsk, where Ukraine’s army is in danger of being overrun.*

Interesting assertion and we wish he could elaborate on that. Pull formations from Kursk - no indication of that.

Kurakhove is smack bang in the middle of a salient and RFAF are closing the lid on the cauldron, to straighten the front line. Any reinforcements sent there are doomed.

If anything, UAF command would be advised to cut their losses and withdraw what they can now before the N15 highway is under Russian fire control or cut.

This map gives you a better perspective of the pear-shaped situation - note the mass of Red arrows all swooping around Kurakhove. One can also clearly see the advance from the NE at Sontsivka, which will flank the reservoir to the west, thus why UAF blew the dam.

Another thing they won't tell you about Kurakhove, apart from its temporary tactical significance in a salient, it holds far, far greater strategic and economic importance: the largest lithium deposit in Europe just outside of town to the west at the hamlet of Shevchenko.

When one examines a map and considers this and several factors, it becomes clear who blew the dam and why.

Moscow wants to keep this out of German-Franco hands, not to mention Washington's, and vice versa.

It’s time for Zelensky to say, ok we need to stop. Time for a ceasefire and for order to be restarted. His tactics have proved naive and caused nothing but more chaos and defeats. Attacking inside Russia with drones drew the response even a child would predict. The Kursk lark will soon be over whilst Russia proceeds at speed to its next objectives.

Again you are not a military expert and have no right to tell people defending their country to stop just because you don't like russians going to their beds by the thousands.

Russia destroys all before it. That is all they are good at. It is up to free people to neutralize such behavior.

Well, that is your viewpoint. Obviously Ukraine is unable to stop the onslaught so ceasefire and peace is the only option for rational people that want peace

For Ukrainian speakers in Pokrovsk, the UAF retreating to fulfill Putin's demands is not the rational decision.

Too bad that’s what’s happening everywhere on an overwhelming scale and cannot be stopped.

its over.

Kurakhove will be soon under russian control.

btw how are doing heroi in Kursk?

waiting for their VICTORY DAY over Russia?

...and someone still going to say that UA is prevailing...

Amusing when our JT expert friends all of whose own predictions ranging from Ukraine conflict developments UAF is winning , RAF rabble loosing) to US elections ( Harris will win in a landslide, nobody likes Trump) turned out to be completely wrong , accuse others of not being experts. Wipe the egg off first comes to mind.

Still peace is finally getting closer for Ukraine.

A handful of miles a day is not overwhelming scale and we haven't reached areas more favorable for delivering sweets to the russian.
