Thanks.  A good reminder that not everything you read on the internet is true.

Thanks BC! It can be done and is really the only way Ukraine can do it. Nice to see they are well along in the exercise. Ukraine is still a bit light on movement to contact discipline though :-).

I also really hope the Ukraine high command remains focused on Kupiansk and Kivsharivka. Everything south of there is doomed if Ukraine can hold those points. I doubt Russia is moving troops from Lyman to Izyum as reinforcements. If anything those troops are going in that direction because that is their only direction out, unless they walk cross-country.

One other thing that is to me quite jarring and indicates Russia was real thin on the ground is that we are not hearing about lots of mine clearance operations as part of the Ukrainian advance. A Russian retreat, even a hasty one is usually protected by mine barriers. Sometimes the mines are just dumped on the ground (not buried) but they are present. So far, we aren't seeing this. Seems more than a bit strange.
