BULL!
Rubbish, the fact that Russia claims they intercepted 5 himars shows its nonsense .
Ukraine may be catching up on hardware and ammo, but they do not have any to spare, where there won't be a good hit of an ammo dump, Russian military vehicles or the like.
Hopefully this area is soon cleared of himars, or saturated with anti-missile defense
The confusing troops movements through Dchankoi. High Command, or is it command on High, swapped out veteran troops with newly mobilized cannon fodder on the right bank of the Dnipro.. If the fodder holds, awesome, if not, then small loss.
Without roads the troops on the right bank will slowly due on the vine due to lack of ammo and food. The edges do not have enough weight.
It would be disastrous to withdraw from the right bank. the rest comes under attack that much sooner. Yet it cannot hold. Moscow is crossing its finger and hope that the Ukrainians will run out of steam and thus confirm Moscow's taking of the right bank.
Of course the hawks in Moscow goes about this with other people's kids and not their own.
