Joku kirjoitti aikaisemmin että tämä mies olisi jäänyt joskus aikaisemmin kiinni liioittelusta, vai oliko jopa valehtelusta. En ole törmännyt vielä sellaiseen mutta osaa väitteistä tietysti mahdoton tarkistaa muuta kuin joskus jälkikäteen. Lainaan tästä huolimatta hänen viestitulvan tähän niin jää talteen, lisäsin eteen twiitin kellonajan jotta on helpompi jäljittää jos tarvitsee myöhemmin hakea syystä tai toisesta joku tietty viesti:
2:52 PM - Please remember, Russians are now claiming very small victories compared to their original plan of capturing the whole of Ukraine. They parade capturing small towns like it is some victory when in reality they have taken hundreds of losses and made a kilometre of ground.
2:54 PM - Even in the Popasna direction Russians have only advanced 22 km in 86 days of the offensive. That is an embarrassing number, and although they are making progress it is minimal if you look at the grand scheme of things.
3:39 PM - Bakhmut-Lysychansk road is now under direct fire from Russian artillery.
3:43 PM - Russians are pushing towards Soledar, heavy fighting is happening around the town.
3:54 PM - At the moment around Severodonetsk city there is very few Russian Army units most are Separatist forces. The purpose of the Separatist forces is to pin down Ukrainian 57th and 56th brigade so they cannot help the 24th in Popasna.
3:57 PM - Russians are attacking Ukrainian positions west of Popasna from "the flank". They are essentially attacking the concrete fortifications from their most vunerable sides which is why they are making some progress.
4:00 PM - On the ground report: The reasons why the Russians took Trypillya is because they were able to flank it from behind. The Ukrainians heavily fortified the town in expectation Russians would attack it before Volodymyrivka but instead Russians bypassed it and attacked it from behind
4:05 PM - "Situation is very dangerous, Russians have brought airborne units and naval infantry units" However they are not very tank heavy units more like light infantry. Leading most of the attacking is the Russian 57th brigade followed by Wagner.
4:08 PM - Some elements of Ukrainian 115th militia brigade is also reportedly in the area however they are having problems and were pushed away due to lack of armour and artillery.
4:13 PM - They are trying to do a similar manoeuvre to the town of Troits'ke. Bypass fortified eastern defences and attack from the north.
4:16 PM - Ukrainian 30th Brigade is currently fighting also south west of Popasna, I expect some elements of this brigade will travel north to help the 24th.
4:18 PM - Finally there is also elements of 46th Ukrainian brigade around the area, however their main area of defence is around Kramatorsk so I think its unlikely they will be able to divert necessary forces.
4:23 PM - Ukrainian forces are fighting hard the situation is difficult, big casualties on each side.
4:24 PM - 3 more Russian BTGs are relocating to the area of Popasna also to support the push. "hot there and that 3 Russian BTGs were going there."
5:16 PM - Russians are 5km from Soledar
Melkoinen tulva tosiaan, viimeisen viestin yksi kommentti kirjoitti näin: From Popasna to Soledar in 2-3 days. Half of road to Kramatorsk. It seems to be over of Ukrainian defence in that area.
Google Maps antaa tietä pitkin Popasnan ja Soledarin väliseksi etäisyydeksi 29 kilometriä. Tuo kuulostaa huolestuttavalta mutta paras silti odottaa vahvistusta tilanteelle. Uhkaavat pahasti idempänä Severodonetskin seutua puolustavien joukkojen huoltoteitä (ainakin näitä isompia teitä). Tuleva viikonloppu kertonee lisää kuinka tässä lopulta käy.
