@Yra1000 Yes, and the Kherson offensive was a tough fight for Ukraine despite having the advantage of Russian forces with their back to the Dnipro. Also, easier for Russian forces to reinforce different parts of the front now. — PolitiTweet.org

@Yra1000 The difference is that Russia has mobilized now, so they are unlikely to face the same kind of manpower shortage that left Kharkiv vulnerable. — PolitiTweet.org

@Yra1000 It is a question of degree. Bakhmut likely is sapping Ukrainian units that will be needed for its future offensives, but they clearly don't have their entire force on the front line currently defending. Of course, there is no guarantee any town Ukraine loses now will be retaken. — PolitiTweet.org

Also important to emphasize that mobilization has given Russia a manpower advantage. Poorly-trained soldiers are of less value in offensive operations, but they have strengthened Russia's ability to defend and sustain the war, particularly in an attritional fight. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

It is natural to go on defense after successful offensives. Slow grinding offensives are not in Ukraine's interests, so they need to give themselves the best chance for achieving a deep penetration of Russian lines that can be exploited. That requires greater forces/planning. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Ukraine is clearly holding back reserves for its offensives later this year, which may give the perception that it is losing, but committing those reserves to the front now to defend would make them less effective for future offensives. It is a calculated risk. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Kyiv could conduct offensives right now, but they would be unlikely to achieve serious successes while sustaining losses. It makes more sense to wait for new equipment, trained units, better ground conditions, etc. for their big push, which will be more likely to achieve success. — PolitiTweet.org

@rubenschaar @henkvaness @papertrailmedia @christogrozev @trbrtc @bellingcat @AricToler @JudyMionki @DefenceU @DefenceUA @TanyaKozyreva @molfar_global I think they deployed those aircraft to train LNA crews and then leave them with the LNA. It seems the current air wing for Wagner is something new that happened after the war began. Not sure which airfield they're operating from. — PolitiTweet.org

Some interesting details: it says Russian Tor and Panstir-S1 air defenses shot down Ukrainian Verba MLRS and Tochka-U missiles fired at the island. It also says DJI UAVs and TB2 were used to correct the fire but TB2 wouldn't go within 28-30km of the island because of AD. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting article about the Ukrainian Bohdana howitzer, which was dissembled at start of the war, and the Snake Island campaign. Photos show the Bohdana, which along with French Caesar, were moved into position via pontoons to target the island in June. https://t.co/Pwff0fXKcs https://t.co/7w33i0GbhN — PolitiTweet.org
