This probably has already been posted, but Popasna has fallen. This is a pretty big f**king deal and makes it more plausible to cut off Severodonetsk.
It doesn’t really matter as the overall encirclement can’t work with the Izium branch facing the type of setbacks it has. I really don’t get why you are always dooming on this stuff when time and time again Ukraine has played their cards right in this battle and anytime Russia has taken a town like this it’s because Ukraine let them do it as they are willing to trade land for stretching out Russia’s line and inflicting high causalities

You are being disingenuous here. First of all, the Izium salient is not at this huge risk of encirclement yet like some have speculated, yes the counteroffensives have had success but so far they have been limited. The real successes were in Kharkiv area. Secondly, the Ukrainians fought hard for Popasna. This wasn’t a city they wanted to give up, it was one they had to give up.
I didn’t say that though, I said “setbacks”. Which they are, they are moving at a snail’s pace while losing a lot of men and equipment while their supply lines are at greater risks of being hit. An even if the Kharkiv in the here and now don’t get encircled they do face that risk if the Kharkiv and other counterattacks keep going. So either they stay as is or they have to shift men and resources up north to protect their supply lines and stall out the already slow moving offensive

Ukraine has retaken the towns of Verkhnyi Saltiv, Zamulivka, Bayrak and Rubizhne in the Kharkiv region meaning the Russian supply line to Izium is now completely in Ukraine line of fire 💪

Ukraine has seem continued success in its Kharkiv counter offensive. There are unsupported rumors that Ukraine has retaken Ternova while it is definitely confirmed that they are nearing it. If/when they take it the Izium supply lines are f**ked. In general it’s now the waiting game for the Ukraine counterattacks to officially cut into the Izium lines and force either a Kyiv style collapse or a mass surrender by the Russian troops there

Ukraine counter attacks continue to yield success and Russia causalities rates are increasing daily

SW used to only post pro-Russia stuff (though eased up once called out on it) so I can see why some still view his posting as sus. But still I think some of the “Atlas just can’t handle objective facts” crowd seem to be ignoring the fact that all the “pro” Russian developments that Woodbury posts are pretty pathetic in comparison to Ukraine updates

By the way unlike Kharkov, Kyiv, and Luhansk/Donelson why was the southern front not an absolute disaster for Russians ?
From what I can tell the issue South is that it’s the only place Russia still hold a major city (Kherson) and Ukraine doesn’t want to level the city so they are trying to bait Russia out to fight them in the open so it’s more slow and probing

Another trash editorial by the NYT. Not a surprise, but it was truly painful to read. The crux of their argument was that Ukraine should surrender because the West isn't prepared to deal with a defeated Russia. Truly horrendous.

Oh wow I didn’t know Big Abraham writes for the NYT?

Ukraine has 700k in the field now according to Zelensky and added if the war continues into the fall they will hit a mil.

Something went seriously wrong with the simulation to have Kissinger and Chomsky in agreement on something

Losing Lyman sucks and the battle of Severodonetsk is going to be ugly but Ukraine’s overal defense is still holding strong
