Alexander Kots confirms that Russian forces withdrew from Lyman to Kreminna, though it doesn't sound like Russia has strong defenses prepared there. He says Ukraine could now push towards Svatove, Kreminna, or Lysychansk.

“All this mocks Putin’s announcement, demonstrating that he can’t hold what he has annexed. The qustion now is how long the Russian people, & importantly, the members of the power elite, put up with this recklessness.” A fine essay from @LawDavF https://t.co/ZlxxROhWWZ

Svatove next, where russians will move to "even more advantageous positions" - said Arestovych.
“In the north towards Svatove, trouble is developing for the Russians, and there is no defense - everyone pulled under Lyman.

Let’s see what is happening in Russia
They celebrated their annexation of 4 Ukrainian regions yesterday .
One of the speakers, a “former neo-Nazi” said the “Special Military Operation” has come to and it’s time for “Holy War”
He told the world “be afraid, we’re coming for you”

The Lyman situation: What is known?
- Ukrainian soldiers are in Lyman
- Russians announced that they retreated from the city
- Russians suffered high casualties during the operation
- Ukraine got some prisoners of war
- Battles continue in the Zarichne-Kreminna direction

What is not known?
- No proof of thousands of surrendered Russian soldiers in Lyman
- No proof of a massive encirclement
- No clear proof of Ukrainians in Kreminna yet
- No proof of high Russian morale
Not meaning these couldn't be true, these are just not confirmed

Hey everyone, and welcome to yet another update on what is going on in Russia right now. In today's video we'll cover the "new Russian territories" that "joined" Russia after the so-called referendums in Ukraine, as well as cover the situation with Russians leavin...
Notice the difference for a month. Territories, liberated by Ukrainian Armed Forces are marked in green.

"The advanced enemy units penetrated to the outskirts of the village of Belyaevka. The village of Shevchenkovka is under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The depth of the enemy breakthrough exceeded 7 kilometers"

The construction of a wall on the border between Poland and Belarus has been completed, said Stanisław Żaryn, a representative of the Polish special services.
He said that from now on "illegal entry into the territory of Poland is impossible. And the Polish border is currently the best protected in Europe."
And this is more relevant than ever in the presence of such sick-headed neighbors and their "allies".

Everything is according to plan, that is why ru-mortality counter turned to new page. 60,000 Russian looters have already died on Ukrainian ground. Three times as much injured. Time to ask the "army" of conscripted office workers: where did the "second army of professionals" go?

Stunned reactions keep coming in with respect to Ukraine reclaiming Lyman. Andrey Gurulyov, former deputy commander of Russia's southern military district, said he couldn't explain the defeat. He blamed in on a system of lies, "top to bottom" and was suddenly disconnected.
Gurulyov was later re-connected, but didn't say much else about Lyman or endemic lying.

2 Russian sources say that Ukraine is continuing to use TB2. One says Russian commanders didn't believe this until Tor systems shot down two of them and the other says they are being used to locate targets but not to drop munitions.
https://t.me/voenacher/30154
https://t.me/sashakots/36160
It appears TB2 are being used on both the Kherson and the Kreminna fronts. They mention two consistent Ru military problems: 1) that Russian adjacent units aren't communicating or coordinating properly 2) that commanders don't believe/respond to reports from front line units.

Sadly the won't be joining anytime soon, I'm pretty sure one of the requirements is no territorial disputes (at least with non nato members), plus article 5 would get automatically triggered
Plus Türkiye is giving Finland and Sweden a hard time joining :/
yeah if erdogan isn't going to let sweden in he certainly won't allow ukraine
Didnt he already give the Ukraine the go ahead?
I mean they gave Finland and Sweden the go ahead after they had negotiations, they are saying they still will deny them if they don't give into his demands
I get Türkiye has issues with Sweden and Finland...but could you like not right now :/
This is why vetos are important to have
And a way to veto the veto
We should be able to discount their vote since they are clearly doing it for self gain and not in the interest of nato
I will say this Türkiye, you kinda have ruined your relationship with Russia, so idk if you should be acting like this -_-
Ahh
its collective defense
Im just saying they should be a bit more careful because members can be removed, and what are they gonna do betray Ukraine and go back to Russia, plus get sanctioned. They are pulling the same crap Greece did to North Macedonia attempting to join NATO and the EU
Doesn’t seem very collective when one member can basically hold a potential membership hostage
why should a country be forced to defend another country that it doesnt want to
at that point they may just leave the alliance
Now this is very epic
Dire conditions of the Russian Army. This video is from Russian social media & was filmed by one of the mobilized who was sent to Omsk. They spend days & nights in the open field, eat what they have & drink. No command, no uniform, no barracks, no tents, no sleeping bags.
Huh, I wonder how that happened
It really feels like the military just went like "oh shit oh fuck, we're don't have anything prepared for this mobilisation, guess we'll just have to wing it"
I think Perun made a great video on it, the whole military is extremely corrupt, missing or fake stocks of equipment etc, its why most of equipment used by Russia has been faulty and dysfunctional
Tonight on Russian state TV: the mood is grim, look at their faces. Dmitry Sablin, Deputy Chairman of the Defense Committee, admits that Russia desperately needs "to stop and regroup" and is experiencing all sorts of shortages, compared to Ukraine that has it all —and then some.
Lets hope they continue having successes in both the Kherson and svatova/kremina front (or whatever its called now). They've really been making yuuge gains there

When the army is requesting air support through social media you know things are going well

I recommend @DefMon3's thread about what is and isn't known. He's right to point out Ru defenses are more fortified in Kherson and they have more elite units, but when this many Russian channels are sounding the alarm, it usually means they're in trouble.

Tonight's campaign assessment from @TheStudyofWar and @criticalthreats focuses on dramatic changes in the #Russian information space following the Russian defeat around #Lyman and in Kharkiv Oblast and amid the failures of Russia’s partial mobilization. http://isw.pub/RusCampaignOct2
Without winter uniforms, Russian soldiers will not be able to fight very soon. Not surprising - corruption in Russia is massive. Most likely, those uniforms were never manufactured, but government funds were appropriated and distributed into the pockets of Generals.

In today’s Russian papers:
- “The surrender of Lyman becomes a political problem.”
- Mobilisation “has rocked the boat of political stability.”
- The world “on the edge of a [nuclear] catastrophe.” #ReadingRussia http://bbc.in/3rsxfzf
Lets hope so
Though if they really want to, they could just take regular winter cats and spray-paint them or something.
Very DIY, but if you have no other choice

Russia about to tell the soldiers they need to bring their own winter clothes
Can't be bothered to scroll up like a week worth of things but that's already happening, soldiers are told to bring their own things like bedding, medicine, etc

The surreal thing about Russian last week's annexation is that they declared "Russian" even those territories which they do not de facto control. Zaporizzhia city, for example. Big parts of Zaporizzhia, Kherson and Donetsk oblasts. 1/2
So, according to Russian "law", Ukraine is an "occupier" as it stays on territories which RU declared as Russian. Incredible surreality, typically Russian. You occupy a country and declare this country an occupier. War is peace, freedom is slavery, victim is perpetrator 2/2

The new Russian annexation of territories is making Russia even weaker. 1) Now any new town liberated by the Ukrainians will be considered in Russia as a loss of the "Russian" territory. And will provoke disappointment and dispair. 1/2

- Crimea has no longer any "special" status for the Russian imagination. If Ukrainians took a "Russian" Lyman, they can now take a "Russian" Crimea, no difference. Crimea can no longer be a red line. -- So Russians created a trap for themselves

ok?
hmmmm
don't really agree with this tbh
in ww2, was d-day seen as "capture of German territory" or "liberation of French territory"
Was the Warsaw uprising seen as "capture of a German city" or "liberation of a Polish city"
saying the occupied ukranian land will be treated as russian territory because russia said "ohye we annex it" is... incorrect
Or, the falklands, for a simpler example
Argentina invaded, occupied, declares it theirs
yet it was seen internationally as the liberation of the British falklands, not the annexation of the Argentinian falklands
I thought they were referring to how it'll be viewed internally by Russians
yeah ^
I don't think that's the point of the tweet
It's about how Crimea is now in the same bag as other occupied territory
That would be seen as a completely fundamentally different thing in Argentina
as the liberation of the falklands
Yeas but it's not the same situation is it?
either way the currently recaptured territories by Ukraine are technically not Russia because they still haven't decided where the new border is suppose to be
Liberating a currently occupied territory and conquest of a core internationally recognised territory are not seen the same
Crimea isn't the capital of Russia afaik
I just don't think this view of how the Russians will treat the territory holds up to precedent
My point exactly. Crimea isn't internationally recognized and by annexing other territories through sham referendums Rusdians give them the same status
So loosing Crimea now isn't as "exceptionnal" as it would have been a few days aho
They can't pull the "it's our core territory" card anymore
Or at least it's going to be harder now
And Russians won't view it the same either, they won't go "Kherson, Moscow, Crimea, ah its all the same it's all russian territory"
as the tweet seems to be implying
Theres a clear distinction between what they occupy and claim and what is core national territory
and to ignore that is just ignorant
What
and trying to argue it on academic pedantism is worse
Prostheses for our indomitable heroes from the Protez Foundation (Minnesota, US) under the "Prosthetics for Ukrainians" program
All the tweet says is that there isn't as much of a clear distiction between Crimea and Kherson ever since the Russians used the exact same procedure to annex them. Thus Ukraine entering Crimea is no longer a distinct red line as it could have been before
It's not saying that Russians are powerless or anything. Just that they will have a harder time claiming that Crimea is somehow different than other annexed territories
okay I didn't want to say this and bring up the inevitable conflict, but I was talking to myself, not you, I have your messages blocked
I am confused
pls no arguing over this ty
Putin's spox admits the Kremlin doesn't actually know how much of Kherson and Zaporizhzia regions it is annexing as Ukraine's forces continue to win back new "Russian" territory.
Dmitry Peskov says Russia will "continue to consult with the population."

Ukraine-Russia Peace:
-
Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people.
-
Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).
-
Water supply to Crimea assured.
-
Ukraine remains neutral.
Musk wtf
I love how he contradicts himself in the second bullet point by implying that Crimea wasn’t annexed
And what‘s so special about 1783, shall we restore the Ottoman Empire too while we‘re at it?
Why does anyone ever take this guy seriously again?
The stupidity of his takes is jaw dropping
inb4 give Crimea to Turkey
Y u p
Idk, he‘s literally wrong on so many things
Give sevastopol back to the British
Like this is clearly outside his regular area of expertise, but it doesn’t get better when it comes to transport either
Return it to the Byzantines
Thry had colonies there
revive the Roman Empire
I read somewhere that apparently there are some Greek speaking minorities in Turkey that still technically call themselves "Roman"
Tbf.. what is his area of expertise really?
or some form of that term
Exploiting slaves in his parent's emerald mine?
I mean, he studied economics and applied physics if I remember correctly
I mean he's awful at the former
There‘s also Greeks in Ukraine
I dunno about economics but his takes on physics have a high proportion of bullshit in them
As you might have noticed, names like Sevastopol or Kherson don’t exactly sound Slavic, and that‘s because they aren’t
also people at least on American news seem to constantly mispronounce these cities
people on youtube too
Fun fact but Vladimir originally wasn’t a Slavic name either
I once saw someone pronounce Kherson as "herison" and I died inside
It‘s derived from the Norse Valdemar who was the first prince of Kyiv
But that‘s just a side note lol
Oh yeah
yeah
at that point I feel like the cultures of Eastern slavic countries kinda are blended together historically, they hadn't fully split off yet
That area in particular was a fun mix
You had Vikings coming from the north to serve in Constantinople and Byzantine Greeks making colonies along the coast
In between there were the Slavs watching it all xD

it's not like Russia's going to declare a second warfront
and they're pretty desperate
great time to get any outcry for your little genociding shut down
It's nothing short of stupid to let a chance like this pass if you're on that side

All you need to ask is this. Are both parties involved with the referendum and is any 3rd party like the UN moderating it?
Nope? Then it's clear bullcrap even if they truly (doubt) want to join Russia

And then you got Kazakhstan going…hey if you need a place to stay 
People born in the ussr trying to bring it back in their own fucked up way, and still have the same old worldview
I really like how Kazakhstan has started to stand up more
They do own Russian main space port
And I remember some Russian were basically saying the same stupid claims about Ukraine to Kazakhstan
Ooooo : ) leverage
I mean the already beat Russia at their own game of withholding fuel
Sorry Kazakhstan for some reason after you condemned us your pipeline that goes through us needs to be shutdown for the time being…you know safety issues… and Kazakhstan goes understandable we have some safety concerns about the train shipments of coal that come from here to Russia so we will do the same :)
Very ballsy and they got the W, for some reason the pipeline was able to operate again 
Meanwhile in Russia: a host urged the citizens to exercise "internal censorship": not to read hostile media reporting and abstain from complaining, lest their comments end up being used by foreign networks like CNN. He also seems to be striking at the comments made by head of RT.

Just gonna translate this headline from Russian paper Moskovsky Komsomolets straight:

but no, they just did it now, amazing

Lino did make this pfp, so thats probably why

part of the reason why my parents left Russia is they knew their kids would have a better life elsewhere lol
Massive escalation? You mean taking back their internationally recognized territory
what territory again ?
I dunno if I missed a Russian territory being lost
A lot of souther Ukraine
I think they're referring more to what Muskrat said about Ukraine escalating than what Val said about Russia escalating
The Russians are breaking in Kherson boyyyyyyys
Can you tell me the story of the region really curious since all I now of it is that it's part of Novgorod at the start of EU4

Also Elon the UN recognizes all the "annexed" territories including the two regions in the Crimea Peninsula as Ukrainian...why would that do that especially when Russia is literally illegally occupying them
When the UN is having a stronger position on Russia, you are dumb
Either Elon is just ignorant or he's sus (or both)
I don't think anyone would trust him with propaganda since nobody knows what the fuck is happening inside his dumb head. He is probably just a useful idiot that wants to feel "not like other guys"

Do you have a source for that? I haven't heard of anything this extreme...
While some people may be buying iodide I never heard of any official action as well as any new bomb shelter plans
I got a friend who lives in the city in Poland that told me about it
didn't get actual source though but I'm pretty sure he got it from Polish news
Russia ain't gonna do shit to Poland
I'ma check quickly polish news
if they do do shit, all of Europe will be affected
All I saw was some regions distributing iodide to the fire departmends when than nuclear power plant was on fire in case of Chernobyl 2.0 happening
But it has nothing to do with Russia directly nuking us
Very cool the first thing I see when opening one of the top Lithuanian news websites is a picture of the tsar bomba mushroom cloud and the articles about what happens in a nuclear explosion

yeah you are right
here is a second source about it: https://www.gov.pl/web/uw-warminsko-mazurski/dystrybucja-jodku-potasu
W celu zabezpieczenia ludności Polski na wypadek wystąpienia zdarzenia radiacyjnego, rząd premiera Mateusza Morawieckiego zdecydował o utworzeniu rezerwy preparatów stabilnego jodu w postaci tabletek.

It's readable but weird
lol, it's weird how most people say that
I'm too polish to understand
The problem with polish is that they used latin alphabet to write sound that aren't meant for it

Під час виступу на Конференції Консервативної партії Великої Британії у Бірмінгемі закликав західні держави блокувати російські пропагандистські ЗМІ і фінансування кремлем неурядових організацій та проросійських політиків
Putin saying that Russia respects Ukrainians.
Looks like admitting that they are a separate nation, and not “Little Russian” is not included in his definition of “respect”.

I completely forgot when Turkey, a NATO country, shot down a Russian jet that crossed a small 10km section (I think one of the pilots died too?)
A Turkish Air Force F-16 fighter jet shot down a Russian Sukhoi Su-24M attack aircraft near the Syria–Turkey border on 24 November 2015. According to Turkey, the aircraft was fired upon while in Turkish airspace because it violated the border up to a depth of 2.19 kilometres (1.36 miles) for about 17 seconds after being warned to change its head...

Damn, a 2012 electoral map. HOw relevant. Nothing has changed in the last decade
and "pro-russia" is definitely not a vague term and totally the same as "wanting to join russia"
Interesting how freely studio guests/anchors on Russian TV use the word ‘war’ now to describe events in Ukraine. Anchor Vladimir Solovyov last night: “It’s a Fatherland War. A war on our territory.” No mention, of course, that it was Russia that started this by invading Ukraine.

Ye there was this thing about w politicians in Kherson who was "pro russian" but once the war started, was fighting on Ukrainian side
freedom is slavery war is peace
I imagine for most that just means "wanting closer ties with russia", not "wanting to get invaded, warcrimed and annexed by"
And I also imagine that views kinda shift after said invasion

Russian TV talking head attempted to say how Ukrainians have poor winter clothing, but the presenter stopped him and told him to worry about problems with their own army🤣
Belarusian dictator Lukashenko has accused Ukraine of engaging in “border provocations” in recent days.
He says 15 000 Ukrainians have appeared at the border & are “doing reconnaissance & violating the Belarusian border with drones”.

Those unironically claiming the world is now in a situation as dangerous as the days of Cuban Missile Crisis - or even worse than that - know absolutely nothing about Cuban Missile Crisis and the present situation.

he is also more experienced and of a higher rank than the commander of the other army group, which is in charge of the north eastern front iirc
though that other commander has priority now that he's directly in charge of defending Russia's borders iirc
the guy prob got promoted to have a bigger role, as a state run news agency tweeted about it in the last hour
even bigger than the commander of army group south then ?
maybe they realised the guy at the north disrupting the southern operations by having priority over resources was dumb

Russian Deputy PM Marat Khusnullin and Russia's head of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, visited the bridge earlier today. If Khusnullin succeeds with the rapid repair work and nothing more collapses, this could make him an overnight hero in Russia.
Even earlier in the day, repair crews also restored partial roadway service on the bridge. (This is all while I was sleeping, so apologies if cooler peeps have already tweeted these images.)
damn I'm gonna be really disappointed if trains and cars will freely cross by tomorrow

Current status of the Crimean Bridge-
Russian authorities ran a 15 car test train across the damaged section of the rail span.
A slightly sketchy crossing has been created along the part of the road span only partially damaged by the explosion.

Tl;dr rn 20 cars per hour and max 3.5 tonnes
So basically no more cargo
And keep in mind that this will likely quickly change due to how recent it is

seems the truck bomber was a russian resident
from what reports say
so it may be the russian republican movement
was it an actual truck?
cuz I know missiles can be ruled out due to it being too far and damage being too much
I thought I heard somethong about it being a military truck carrying explosives.
Dunno if thats true or not tho
But the explosion definitely looks too big to my untrained eye to just be fuel or something
I've seen image/video of the supposed truck at a check point being checked, but they apparently didn't find anything

The attack on the Crimean Bridge is a symbolic even that reveals the Putin regime's decline.

Two explosions rocked Kyiv early Monday following months of relative calm in the Ukrainian capital. Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitchko reported explosions in the city’s Shevchenko district, a large area in the center of Kyiv that includes the historic old town as well as several government offices.
Several large explosions have been heard in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv a day after President Vladimir Putin blamed Ukraine for a deadly explosion on a key bridge connecting the Crimean Peninsula to mainland Russia.
“Several explosions in the Shevchenkivskyi district, in the city centre,” Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram on Monday.
