And btw, european military ressources are limited, too. I cannot see that we are about to switch to war production. Russia has, and is in the switch, as far as it can.

Russia's war production has troubles what they us on the front is stock will take them more than 5 years to rebuild their army as it was before this failed invasion. Russia is to depended on us, their production needs a lot of western parts they do not get now.

Provision of food and ammunition to Russian military on front line is in question, - Khlan

Ukrainian soldiers keep all crossings across the Dnipro near Kherson under fire control.

This was announced by the adviser to the head of the Kherson military administration, Serhii Khlan, Censor.NET reports with reference to Espresso.

According to him, after the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the bridges near Kherson, panic is growing among the occupiers. If after the first shelling of the Antoniv bridge, the occupation authorities carried out partial repairs. Trucks with a tonnage of up to 10 tons could move along the bridge, the Russian military transported ammunition, even tracked vehicles drove by.

After the shelling of the bridge on the evening of July 26, the road surface was already destroyed and one of the supports was damaged, so passage became impossible.

"The occupiers say that they will rebuild the crossing, but there is a raging flow of the river, which makes it impossible to build the crossings. The pontoon bridge is not a strong structure, but it is a good target for the Armed Forces. Then the occupiers started saying that they will rebuild the ferry crossing," Khlan said.

After shelling by the Armed Forces of the bridge over the Kakhovska hydroelectric dam, the Dariiv and Antoniv bridges, the channels for the supply of weapons and food to the front line were finally cut off for the occupiers. According to Khlan, the occupiers cannot receive reinforcements and have already announced that there will be no humanitarian shipments for the next three days. This means that the provision of the Russian military on the front line is in question.

In my recent posts, here and here, I have been arguing that the war with Russia has shifted in Ukraine’s favour. This is because of Russia’s difficulties in replacing its lost equipment and recruiting more men for the front as Ukraine takes advantage of an influx of modern Western weapons. Ukraine’s Defence Minister Olesky Reznikov has praised his ‘gunners’ for using HIMARS multiple rocket launchers ‘very precisely – they work like a surgeon with a scalpel.’ Over recent weeks these gunners have successfully attacked more than a hundred ‘high-value’ targets, including, according to a pentagon official Russian command posts, ammunition depots, air-defence sites, radar and communications nodes, and long-range artillery positions. In response the Russian military have been told that the elimination of HIMARS and other long-range artillery system is a high priority. In this effort, and despite Moscow’s occasional claims to the contrary, they have as yet been unsuccessful. They have been thwarted, at least so far, by the ability of these systems to ‘shoot and scoot’ (get away from their firing positions in minutes).

Territorial concessions are inadmissible for 84% of Ukrainians, according to KIIS survey. INFOGRAPHICS

Only a tenth of Ukrainians believe that it is possible to give up some territories in order to achieve peace.

This is evidenced by the KIIS survey, Censor.NET informs.

"For 84% of respondents, no territorial concessions are acceptable. Only 10% believe that in order to achieve peace and preserve independence, it is possible to give up some territories. Compared to May, the mood of the population has practically not changed," say sociologists.

Even among residents of the East, which is currently experiencing intense fighting, 77% are against concessions (ready for concessions - only 16%), and among residents of the South - 82% are against concessions (ready - only 10%).

At the same time, among Russian-speaking Ukrainians, 76% are against territorial concessions (14% support it). Among Russian-speaking Russians, the overwhelming majority - 68% - oppose any concessions (19% support).

Sociologists also used the "imagined acquaintance" method.

Respondents were asked the question "Now there will be a slightly unusual question. Please think of someone whom you know well - it can be yourself, a family member, a colleague at work, a friend, an enemy, etc. Have you thought of it? AFTER "YES" : In your opinion, with which of these statements regarding possible compromises to achieve peace with Russia would this thoughtful person agree to a greater extent?".

"Using the "imagined acquaintance" method, we get almost the same results - 80% are against any concessions, and 14% support concessions. Although with this method, we have slightly more people who are ready to make concessions, but the difference is insignificant and does not actually change the overall picture public sentiments", - noted in KIIS.

We need a real balance on what's really going on.

But lets go up a few levels, away from the battlefield.
Ukraine is but a show, Taiwan is next...

These battles (and other methods of killing populations) were all planned by the people in the video below, but fortunately for a lot of us that are far away from these battlefields, there is a larger group of people that have intercepted these 'criminals'.
Yeah.. people laugh at this.. but look carefully at these 'people' if/when you see them on TV..etc

I see Putin has been added to the latest list on the website. I heard a year ago that he was probably one of Soros's boys.. who knows we'll see.

re vanjast: "Bitchute" is a joke.
"Taiwan is next"? Russia can well be next on China's todo list. Russia is already facing a multi-frontier war with Kasachstan uprising and a Chechen rebellion (with a majority wanting to get rid of Putin's lapdog and tiktok poser Ramzan Kadyrov, and who would not understand this), apart from Ukraine and the "three-days-war-to-occupy-Kyiv" somehow not working out.

Why do you want to live under a despot suppressing free will and speech, do you think this is productive for its people or the russian society in the future? Do you think anyone wants to live in North Korea or Ruzzia, then please tell me why?

China has some eyes on Russian regions that they consider Chinese (Sino-Soviet border conflict), so now Russia is the lapdog of China all can happen funny thing the west would cheer them on.

A large campaign has been launched in Poland to collect funds for weapons for Ukraine. The first project is to gather funds to buy three evacuation helicopters for Ukraine’s intelligence. The aim of the newly-founded Zbroimy Ukraine (“Arming Ukraine”) initiative is multiple fund-raising so that all willing Poles can contribute to the victory of Ukraine, the initiative’s web page states.

“We want to regularly buy effective weapons that will help our neighbors defend themselves and expel Russian bandits from the territory of Ukraine,” the campaign description states.

Russian economy ‘crippled at every level’ despite Putin’s propaganda

Russia’s economy is being “catastrophically” crippled by Western sanctions according to experts, despite Vladimir Putin’s efforts to hide the damage.

Analysts at Yale looking at “private Russian language and unconventional data sources” say imports have “collapsed” and domestic production “has come to a complete standstill”.

Russia has lost companies representing around two-fifths of its GDP amid an exodus of Western businesses, they claim, undoing about three decades of foreign investment.

The pressures are tipping Mr Putin into “unsustainable, dramatic” fiscal and monetary interventions, the report says, claiming “Kremlin finances are in much, much more dire straits than conventionally understood”.

The report, from Yale’s Chief Executive Leadership Institute, describes itself as “one of the first comprehensive economic analyses” of how Russia’s economy is faring five months on from the invasion of Ukraine.

It belies claims that the West, where many countries are grappling with surging inflation spurred by the conflict, is coming off worse than Russia in the war of economic attrition unleashed by unprecedented sanctions.

Analysts, led by Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, said Russia is much more economically damaged than many in the West realise. The Kremlin has curbed the number of official data releases it produces since the invasion and subsequent backlash in a bid to cover up the impact.

A Ukrainian counter-offensive in Kherson is gathering pace, UK defence officials say.

A key bridge into the southern city is out of action after Ukrainian forces struck it with long-range rockets.

The MoD adds Kherson - the first city to fall to Russian forces - is now "virtually cut off from other occupied territories"

Russia is moving forces to the south and their focus to strategic defence, according to a Ukrainian presidential adviser.

Russian-installed officials say the attack complicates the lives of residents - but play down its wider significance to the conflict.

In eastern Donetsk, Russian forces say they have captured the country's second-largest power station.

Obviously I am not as optimistic on the effectiveness of sanctions, but see the costs-versus-effects ration more balanced (or twoi-sided, to out it this way), but I would love to be completely wrong here.
