No surprise.
Stalin and Putin are the same types. Russia breeds these types.

Day one Trump messed up.
If he was serious about it, he should have asked Putin what he do to give him an out.
He should have then done what he promised, made it way tougher on Russia through economic means and aid to Ukraine.
Russia would know Trump meant business but instead Trump saddled up to Putin and failed to use any kind of leverage on Russia.

Maybe, but where are any photos of debris or any kind of proof from the Russian side?
Just wait, damage photos are easy to get. We will see that soon.

No they don’t.
What they should do is target a prominent military target, blow it up, and tell the would if they had really gone after Putin that would have been the result.

I know you are still recovering from last night’s embarrassing showing by Tennessee. I know how you feel, we were embarrassed all year too.
Nobody cares, Russia is pulling a scam. That’s what they do. There was no reason for Putin to hide, run, or duck for cover unless he was a Tenn fan.

Ukraine knows this, and putting a ceasefire as part of any agreement kills the deal right away because they don't intend to make a deal right now either
If there’s a peace agreement put in place, why do we need a cease fire?

“What we're still seeing today is that Russia currently has no intention of attacking any of the Baltic states or NATO more broadly.
That’s no surprise. They can’t vanquish Ukraine.
Horses/donkeys are better than nothing and if that’s all you have left to supply your army, I would say you are in trouble.
When the war started and the initial Russian blitz was thwarted, all we heard was Russia was going to outgun the Ukrainians. They had more men and more artillery pieces, and a huge advantage in shells.
Now Russia is reduced to donkeys, we seldom hear about shells and when Russia crosses the street into another block of a small town some trumpet that fact as if it’s a breakthrough.
The fact is neither side is gaining much of an advantage right now. Russia is slowly walking towards the West, but at a very high cost in human life and treasure. Even donkeys have to be fed.

They obviously have some importance or Ukraine wouldn't bother defending them. Pokrovsk was at least important enough to Ukraine to try counter attacking to take it back. So you can't really use the "they were just tying Russians up in those areas" excuse for it at least. The real significance of taking cities in 2025 during a conflict with mostly static, almost WW1 style lines (though WW1 isn't a perfect comparison by any means, it's just the closest we have) is that you can set up meaningful defenses in them to allow you to hold them with fewer men (like Ukraine has been doing). That's why Ukraine is bothering to counterattack at all... If they lose a city and Russia is able to hunker down, Ukraine likely wont get it back. We talk about Ukraine's personnel issues, but Russia doesn't have unlimited men either. When they focus on certain areas, others suffer. So taking areas they can hold more easily with fewer people is actually pretty significant in terms of resource allocation than anything else right now... It frees up troops to go elsewhere and push. But by the time Russia takes these cities they might be too destroyed to even give you much of a defensive boost. Some of them like Pokrovsk is mostly defensible because access points to the city are limited and you can create a shooting gallery (or just hammer drones) at those specific areas.

Most of our guys came out of HS 40 to 70 places higher on the ranking scale than the UH starting OL.. UH OL position rankings are anywhere from 91 to 152. They might have 1 guy that is a ESPN 250. And they played twice as good as we did.
Their OL was much older and mature than our OL. They had RS seniors and juniors.
I do agree that they were better coached, but just looking at HS rankings to determine worth I’d fool’s gold.

The linked map is hard to read. Do you have a link to the ISW report indicating that Hulyaipole has been captured. Your map doesn’t indicate that it has.
Nevermind, I found this from ISW posted today: The real stuff

ISW has only observed open-source evidence to assess that Russian forces have operated in roughly 55 percent of Hulyaipole
