so far russia is not pushing very hard but just playing lots of defense. Maybe a real offensive is needed with many civilian casualties like in millions then Ukraine will go to the negotiating table

No, they don't need to... It's just sit back and wait for Ukraine to come... Everytime Ukraine move forward, lots of pple dead and equipment lost. The. The west have to keep supplying...
You can see that Europe and NATO is cracking unde pressure. Less and less countries are willing to supply weapons and ammo now. You can see pple protesting to stop the war because it's killing them indirectly. They facing high inflation while money is channeled into weapons for ukraine..

Ukraine themselves are losing men, lots of men everyday.... Russia has way more men and weapons. Then chian, Iran, no etc etc supplying them. They selling cheap oil and gas...

You can see where this war is heading.

ASGARD unit and the 3rd separate assault brigade destroyed two T-80 tanks and also hit a T-72 and T-90. All in the Bakhmut direction.

interesting read.
Russia's Starshe Eddy Telegram channel discussed a recent battle near Antonovsky bridge

3/ "...the Ukrainian forces were flying quadcopters over their location, which rotated constantly as the drone batteries ran out and responded with mortars for every attempt (by Rus soldiers) to leave the shelter. In fact, our guys were trapped and..."

4/ "...it was almost impossible to get out. (Ukr military) was anticipating that they would destroy our guys, and dropped grenades on them from a quadcopter, and our soldiers had to either run several hundred meters with the wounded in their arms under continuous fire, or..."

5/ "...stay in place until dark, without providing normal medical care. Enemy mortars could not be located, and the Ukr military continued to operate. At that moment, a group of our kamikaze drone operators, having approached as close as possible to the water's edge..."

6/ "...launched an attack with the goal of, if not destroying, then at least suppressing the enemy's mortar fire and giving our guys the opportunity to escape the death trap. Kamikaze drones flew over us, a voice was heard over the radio: the drones are above and are heading..."

7/ "...north. These are ours (drones), now they will cover you and you will escape, hold on. The first three drones flew over the possible location of enemy observers on our bank of the Dnieper, then the rest of the FPVs flew to Kherson, one flew..."

8/ "...under the northern part of the Antonovsky bridge and a powerful explosion sounded, apparently one of the Ukrainian mortar crews was located there. At the same time, our (Rus) mortars began firing and the guys, along with the wounded, were able to escape the trap..."

9/ "... and they were picked up by the evacuation group. Interestingly, in the skies over this extremely small patch of land were more than a dozen drones that observed, dropped grenades and hit people with a kamikaze strikes."

10/ "After getting hit by drones, the Ukr forces stopped firing their mortars and did not climb out until they were finally convinced that the «Упыри» (Ghouls - Rus volunteer-provided FPV drone variant) were no longer flying above and were not looking for Ukr locations."

11/ "The massive use of drones, among other things, has a powerful psychological effect, and no one in their right mind can be and operate in the open spaces when death is buzzing over you with electric motors."

12/ What this Starshe Eddy channel described was also covered earlier this year as the Russian soldiers encountered a Ukrainian tactic of trapping them in place with quadcopters - see this thread:

16/ The Russians are now also concerned that Ukrainians are operating FPV drones at night: "If in daytime, having heard these drones, you can still have time to react and understand where it flies visually, and decide (if the personnel are on vehicles) where to jump off to reduce casualties, then at night the FPVs will only be heard and not seen. On the other hand, you can make a bunch of decoys to confuse the enemy drones during nighttime ops."

17/ The combat scenario described by Starshe Eddy is a perfect set up for the impending mass-scale use of drones in swarms enabled by AI for recon, comms, guidance, target recognition and other functions - something both sides are working on and pledged to field soon.

18/ One aspect of this battle not covered by Starshe Eddy was EW and CUAS - how different would this outcome be if the Russian soldiers initially had such defenses? Or if the Ukrainian forces were able to neutralize FPVs with with this tech? Both sides are now fielding such defenses on a massive scale.

regarding the captured russian major tomov...

most likely referring to the two videos where he was pointing out russian positions to AFU and another interview where he ask russian forces to withdraw from Ukraine lands, which both videos likely taken during his captivity.

On the Velyka Novosilka axis, Ukrainian forces continue to hit the key Russian-held town of Staromlynivka, seen here destroying a Russian ammunition transport parked at the football pitch in the northern part of the town.

In addition to various artillery and mortar ammunition, Ukraine has set up the serial production of Kontakt-1 explosive reactive armor, commonly placed on tanks to increase survivability- here are fresh 4S20 explosive elements, made in 2023.
