Burn, baby, burn. Ukraine hit this same refinery two months ago.
Oh look! Lots of new job opportunities in Russia. I wonder if they have a good health plan.
It has been anticipated for a while now that Russia would attempt an offensive near Kharkiv. Pyl’na is right on the border with Russia and northeast of Kharkiv. The villages of Strilecha and Borysivka are also on the border.
This happened just across the border from Pyl’na inside Russia.
Life goes on even amid an offensive.
Vovchansk is a town that’s also on the border with Russia. It’s to the east of Pyl’na and sits on a main road from Belgorod.
Vovchansk’s pets haven’t been forgotten.
This analysis predicts even greater Russian losses as it attempts to gain as much offensive momentum as it can before Western weapons and F-16s arrive in large numbers.

4/5 With russia launching attacks from multiple directions, and Ukraine currently possessing a nearly adequate supply of shells and FPV drones—although it should ideally have more—a situation is brewing that could lead to significant russian losses in the coming weeks.
5/5 Should Ukraine manage to endure the next few months without significant territorial losses and casualties, while simultaneously mobilizing, fortifying defensive lines, and awaiting military aid, it will find itself in a considerably improved position by the year's end.
Speaking of Russian losses, 47 artillery systems is a good day’s work.
Where’s a Javelin when you need one.
Sure makes it easier when they all clump together like that.
Falling for decoys is forgivable. Posting video of your side falling for the decoys is just pathetic.
Russia continues to target Kherson.
The pro-Russian regime in Georgia is resorting to greater levels of violence and repression to try to put down the country’s massive demonstrations.
Should the regime led by Georgian Dream collapse, I would guess there is a danger of Russian intervention.
The dogs of Tbilisi know who the bad guys are.
The sooner, the better.
Russia still thinks it’s fighting Hitler and the Wehrmacht.
When your goal is to capture a photo instead of a position.
The urgency now is getting these weapons to the field.
Russia unveils its new unmanned underwater transport vehicle.
I don’t think brown water is supposed to come out of fountains. But, hey, this is Russia.
And it comes with optional equipment such as cup holders and antilock brakes.
Oh, you know Dasher and Dacha and Prancer and Putin, Commie and Cupid and Donner and Blitzkrieg.
Winter is ending but it is a long and difficult spring ahead.
I wonder if these guys could come and paint my house.
Combat Cat gets a much needed cat nap.
