220 souls are going to be up on the shopping block and the next 24 hours. Unfortunately tomorrow we will see six digits for losses and the entire struggle will continue. However in 301 days the losses have been incredible by an inept Russian military that is bogged down and completely tied up in a special military operation while also the 1.1 million human being mobilization is coming.
We also have another monumental sabotage event with a gas pipeline being destroyed in northwestern Russia. All of this infrastructure is going to be even more difficult to repair and replace with the current Russian sanctions being extremely broad and deep. As much as you want to say enough is enough it seems like Russian fortitude for war just has no bounds. However we are seeing even more sabotage and behind the enemy lines hits with Russian forces also taking a dramatic strike to a electrical substation meaning that a huge economic electrical power grid blow has been struck by anti-war Russian activism.
In the Ukrainian Capital it's being reported they are still dealing with power grid issues as well as Internet connected issues so it's just a matter of time until they get all this fixed especially with Western support from the European councils.
And it looks like the massive drone and missile strikes is starting to reduce in number as well as the continued Western anti-air assets are providing some really powerful protections for Ukrainian forces.
Mariupol is reporting partisan activity in an incredible strike apparently this large Russian base over there was set on fire. So basically as a warning sign to the rest of the conflict in my opinion we are going to see the advance cut straight into this city and most likely Ukrainian forces are going to pretend to cut more Westward. However with this news coming out it seems like active behind Russian front line operations has exploited a glaring situation.
Not really a major battlefront action day however friends is shipping even more air defense systems bringing the grand total up to four extremely capable air defense systems. 100% further upgrade from France in air defense systems.
And apparently there is a huge Russian propaganda campaign going on to encourage Russian citizens to sign up and contract onto the Red army so they can alleviate their financial crisis while we can see Putin willing to sacrifice 200% more troops than already has been liquidated..
Such heartbreaking advertisements for the Russian military include grandpa being forced to sell his old car and grandson comes wandering in with brand new military equipment saying that everything will be okay because he signed up and the financial worries are going to be gone.
I'm not sure the situation could be that simple. Personally I would rather have the family members over the money and watching them go off to war with a high certainty of being killed wounded or maimed.
Onwards!

Russian forces have completely and totally stalled in this and now I've been thrown out of the city with incredible Ukrainian house fighting.
You watch Ukrainian forces absolutely shut down and completely and snare Russian units.
Dennis the Ukrainian pilot delivers the best and most up-to-date news I highly recommend watching his content as he really does know what's going on. And at least I can get some idea of the correct pronunciation for the different Ukrainian.
Biggest news is Russian forces destroy one of the top of the line ka 52 attack helicopter however this is a massive blow especially for the fact that Russia only has so many of these extremely capable attack helicopter weapon systems and then they decided to shoot one down.
Going over the amount of troops it looks like Russian and Ukrainian military forces are actually pretty closely matched however the professionalism of Ukrainian forces far exceeds the ill-equipped Russian conscript army.
United States forces sending over massive amounts of precision weapon upgrade systems looks like we are going to pack a massive amount of punch and be able to convert Russian dumb bombs into extremely efficient highly accurate GPS guided precision munitions. Decreasing cost per round and increasing lethality as well as capability and precision is all going to make phenomenal gains in this conflict.
Biggest worry right now is most likely Putin is scared that Russian forces are going to take a strike to Moscow with Russian citizens recording new air defense systems being put into prevent aerial strikes on the Russian federation capital and home of the Kremlin.
Full panic is starting to go down while we are watching the fact that Moscow is finally getting the point that they are extremely accessible to Ukrainian attacks and this new reality really needs to be addressed. However it's a little too late and we are watching Russian forces scramble to access the extra air defense systems. Which could be way better used on the front line of the special military operation however wartime footing demands they be put to block any strike on Moscow.
Ukrainian forces proving that they can easily strike Moscow absolutely is going to drag equipment and capability away from more important assets like air bases and other military targets just to protect the Russian capital.
A direct strike would probably get a bunch of Russians to band together and demand further escalation to this war. However we will see how much fight the Red army has left in them before the full surrender comes..
One of the most telling news stories in this news report happens to be the Russian and Chinese and voice having a discussion with some really weird subtle nonverbal cues defining the interactions between Russian and communist China during their recent dialogue. It really doesn't seem like China is super eager to get involved in this conflict.
I guess Russia got super upset now that they discovered Ukrainian President ended up sneaking into the southern front and getting a chance to visit troops without any resistance at all not even a single assassination attempt because Russian forces and Russian military intelligence apparently was completely lacking and taking a nap instead of doing their jobs.
Currently on a side note we are seeing a lot of Russians starting to get really unhappy with a pretty crazy Russian news guy with his rhetoric constantly accelerating to the point where he radically freaks out pretty much every show and really embarrasses the entirety of the Russian federation with his opinion and lack of understanding of what is really going on. One of the biggest embarrassment is when the Russian military Frontline veterans were brought on TV mocked and humiliated by the house while not a single thing that these veterans had said was listened to. The fact that Russ you cannot even listen to it s veterans is very telling and shows most likely there isn't going to be any help for the Russian military especially if they can't listen to the combat veterans that survived operations.
Apparently the Russian news idiot decides that telling Russian army forces that they should have just hit the Ukrainian president over the head and kidnapped him apparently is one of the most uninformed and idiotic statements I have heard in this conflict as I'm not sure how Russian intelligence would have been able to break operational security that a Ukrainian presidential front line visit would result in.
Incredibly watching Russian state propaganda forces list further civilian infrastructure that could and should be targeted is appalling and frustrating as it seems like rules of warfare and that you need the convention doesn't apply to the Russian military forces making this conflict especially trouble of some however I can only foresee that this rash behavior is going to further end up in a international war crimes tribunal Court and the further sanctions and economic retaliation is just going to deepen. However the Russian war machine will not be able to march into Europe as obviously we don't even see Russia being able to deal with it current battle space let alone being able to advance into europe. In fact you can even see the Russian propaganda people getting into arguments and fighting with themselves not being able to agree on which is the proper direction.
I just see the Russian propaganda machine not even being able to provide a unified cohesive or coherent thought process for the Russian citizens to follow.
