Well the biggest news is definitely this hit.
Russia purposely launches a missile strike on the port of Odessa which really endangers this entire idea that there is going to be a peace deal to allow Ukrainian grain to the exported.
However just like everybody planned Russia oopsied and let off a couple of missiles striking the port that they say that they would leave alone.
In other news there is about a thousand Russian soldiers in circled and begging for a humanitarian corridor so that they can exfiltrate.
Apparently Ukrainian forces are pushing for a full cutoff and demanding surrender. One of the big reasons stated happens to be prisoner exchange numbers and they need to get a bunch of captured soldiers for prisoner exchange.
Pretty smart deal actually.
And of course we are seeing the complete stalled offensives and a phenomenal amount of personnel issues so it looks like Ukrainian forces are going to be counter attacking in the next week and most likely we're going to see this encirclement happen as well as the southern offensive really shaping up.
With all of these forces pinning each other in place and now Ukrainian forces are playing long range sniping with artillery missiles rockets and using standoff distances as well as strategically placed mines and improvise explosive devices.
Having an extremely weakend as well as logistically challenged and demoralized opponent that also suffers from personnel issues...
This is absolutely the most shocking military upset.
And this entire conflict is still not over yet so we're just all going to have to hang on and see exactly what happens.
