Military progress in East Ukraine

After a week of mopping up and progressing north to the rashist border in Kharkiv, the UAF are beginning to make progress going east. The Oskil River would have been a natural line of defense but the rashists fled farther east away from Ukraine artillery. Ukraine forces have crossed the river and are making progress, a major accomplishment.

Lectures on the history of Ukraine

https://twitter.com/TimothyDSnyder/status/1568809012908494854

On the right is Professor Timothy Snyder of Yale. In Ukraine he is a hero. The picture was taken this weekend. He is the west's leading authority on Ukraine. This semester he is delivering a course on the history of Ukraine and the lectures are available for free. They get posted to YouTube usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For anyone interested I will provide links in a minute.

Gen. Mark Hertling on Ukraine's pause of the offensive in the East.

Gen. Hertling is one of the very few 'experts' who thought in February Ukraine could win the war. He had seen both army's first hand.
