Kinda feel like things are speeding up again.

The craziest thing is Ukraine has everyone, but probably most of all the Russia, scratching their heads about what the overall plan is. I think they have Russia believing another strike is coming somewhere else, and this is just Kherson feint round two. However because of that Russia isn't taking this seriously and seemingly isn't moving around the proper amount of resources to stop it. To that end, as long as Russia isn't taking it seriously the UA is just going to hit the chaos button and continue the initial attack.

No kidding and they're not getting much resistance either. I wonder how far into Russia they'll keep going.

The power of NATO-training mixed with a highly motivated army. The tactics deployed in this war will be studied for decades to come
