#10 information and psychology, cognition and semantics I don't see any of the factions pushing this conflict as being anywhere near the potent end of the intellectual spectrum. |

#9 'The Russia-Ukraine conflict isn’t just about the clash of armed forces on the battlefield. It has also been marked by unprecedented levels of confrontation in the fields of information and psychology, cognition and semantics'. |

#7 Hmmm? Russia moved 90% of its reserves to the Zaporizhzhia direction and used almost all available forces to deter the Ukrainian counteroffensive, reports Welt. |

#6 The main armored fist of 10 brigades that is the main attack force still hasn't been committed. These are smaller attacks that are not only proving for weak spots, but to draw the Russian reserves in and pin them in place. The fact they have pushed past the first defensive line and are penetrating the second is reason for optimism. Once the reserves are pinned, the 10 brigade force will be turned loose. |

#5 Penetration is 8-10km and through the first defense line. The main defense line will come in another 10km. That's just to get to Tokmak. I don't think this is where the main attack will occur. This attack, like Bakhmut, is to lure Russian reserves. I believe the main attack will happen closer to the Khakhovka reservoir or in Lugansk and make a big left hook in Donetsk behind Russian defenses. |

#4 these villages liberated are all pretty near the front so I don't see any breakthroughs yet still, its early the Kharkiv counteroffensive took about a month the Kherson counteroffensive took about two months |

#1 Novodarivka (a few km west of the main fighting in Zaporozhye) liberated. Fighting in Urozhaine and approaching Staromaiors'ke (two towns next to each other and next in line as Ukrainians drive south). Unconfirmed reports of Russian forces withdrawing to a defensive line just above Staromaiors'ke and Urozhaine where battles continue and also withdrawing from the town of Rivnopil under pressure. |
