there is always so many rumors about Ukrainian leadership killed here and there.
there was Zelensky got killed last year, early this year the Valerii Zaluzhnyi got killed, and now Budanov...

i think that high profile is very hard to keep secrets or intend to.

a non partisan media says definitely affected.

I think I heard someone seriously said Putin had already died from cancer a while back and all we see now are the doubles

i don't think he died 😂
but i do suspect that he may have a medical condition, the seriousness of it is the question.

ISW reports Russian forces are currently running a mini-offensive on the direction of Vuhledar

"How dare the Russians use their advantage in artillery and airpower to defeat us instead of fighting us man-to-man? Such cowards"

Russian soldiers checking surrendered Ukrainian soldiers. Note the destroyed MRAP vehicle in the background.

where you get that statement?
i watch the whole video and none said that.

in fact the video show good morale and the injured wanna wave as well and show the battle taxi evacuating the injured.

even injured, he was worried that artillery may target his unit. pretty good for a soldier 👍🏻
all in all , show Ukrainian soldiers and unit care for their own.

Seems pretty salty

More destroyed MaxxPro MRAP vehicles on the front

Somebody went out and literally published this

They are literally the most destroyed Ukrainian vehicle these past days

And Ukraine wiped out all Russia generals too last years.

Ukraine said its forces were advancing on several axes in their counteroffensive but were struggling to counter Russian air and artillery superiority hobbling its assaults in the east and south.

Now into its second week, Ukraine’s ambitious attempt to take back Russian-occupied land is proving to be a hard slog against dense minefields and well-prepared defenses. After Ukraine’s first probing attacks yielded mixed results, its forces have mostly paused their advances in recent days as commanders take stock of the past two weeks and analyze ways to punch through Russian lines without taking taking huge losses.

Russia has taken advantage of its superior air power and Kyiv’s limited air defenses to strike Ukrainian armored columns and stop several attacks, destroying some of the sophisticated Western weaponry Ukraine is fielding.

The U.K.’s Defense Ministry said in its daily intelligence briefing on Saturday that Russia had bolstered its force of attack helicopters in occupied Berdyansk, some 60 miles behind the front line in Ukraine’s south, with more than 20 additional helicopters deployed there.

The move further strengthens Russian air-power potential in the region. Helicopters have successfully fired long-range missiles against Ukrainian ground targets that have had little protection from air-defense systems, the British Defense Ministry said. “In the constant contest between aviation measures and counter-measures, it is likely that Russia has gained a temporary advantage in southern Ukraine," it said in a post to Twitter.

In the eastern Donbas region, Ukrainian forces have been advancing on the flanks around Bakhmut, the city Russia recently captured after many months of brutal combat. Hanna Malyar, another Ukrainian deputy defense minister, said the intensity of fighting around Bakhmut had lessened and acknowledged that Russia had the upper hand in terms of aviation and artillery forces.

Meanwhile, Russia has continued drone and missile strikes against Ukrainian cities as it seeks to deplete their stocks of expensive air-defense munitions and keep such systems deployed away from the eastern front line. Ten Ukrainian regions were attacked in the 24 hours leading into Saturday morning, according to reports from local authorities compiled by Ukrainska Pravda, Ukraine’s leading news outlet.

WARSAW – There has been a diplomatic standoff between South African officials and their Polish counterparts on the runway of the airport in the Polish capital, Warsaw.

Polish authorities have threatened to confiscate weapons and equipment on board an SAA charter flight carrying security forces meant to protect President Cyril Ramaphosa during his visits to Ukraine and Russia on the African peace mission.

Some women in the delegation were strip-searched by armed Polish security agents.

Ramaphosa stopped off in Warsaw before catching a train to the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Thursday night, as the head of his protection unit, Wally Rhoode accused Polish authorities of racism and of jeopardising the president’s security.

Lol..... Poland really GG this time...

Lol..... Too bad for Ukraine...

Haha, there is never a need for Russia to engage in infantry battle... Let them in, then pound them with arty and helicopters...

Ukraine is fighting on weapons supplied by foreign countries. Basically their own supply lines already done..

I already said long ago that Russia cannot collapse... They produce everything they need and they are net exporter. They may not be rich but they will not go hungry.

There was a big night last night in Zhaporizhia it seems
