Is there's anyway to see a front line illustration. The news recently has been filled with Ukraine making headway into the donbas/Crimea area but I'd like help visualising an actual me understand how this is panning out.

There are quite a few, but you have to take them with a large pinch of salt as they are all created using open source intelligence, therefore subject to inaccuracies, untimely reporting and only using information publicly available and for the most part confirmed data. Also please note that using these maps will generally give you a false impression of a largely static front with clear boundaries, which just isnt the case, these fronts will be for the most part fluid, lots of gains and losses along the lines daily/hourly.

The borders moving on the map are very slow indeed, though I think Ukraine still have the initiative.

Grinding down the re-supply, ammo dumps, landed planes, and generally causing some havoc behind enemy lines is having an impact I think, though not all at once or drastically.

There is still a lot of Russians in Ukraine that need pointing in the other direction.

Without HIMARS and western intelligence I think this could look quite different, but they seem to be doing enough to hold back the tide.

I think Ukraine are happy to more or less hold the frontline, and slowly work on freeing Kherson up, though I don't expect any rapid change of map ownership from either side short term.

Back in 2018 the Communist party got 11% of the vote, it's been steadily decreasing since the 40% they got in 1996. They're still Putin's main opposition but their popularity only wanes with time.

Don't know why you think elections in Russia have anything to do with popularity. Real opposition politicians are not allowed to run (they have criminal cases manufactured against them). There are tens of millions of fake bulletins for Putin/United Russia thrown in each big election. In the last parliament elections United Russia lost all the Moscow seats (many to Communist opponents), and only after the electronic votes (completely corrupted) were added Putin's party "won".

Best chance Russia has of damaging one is if it randomly runs over a landmine.

Their intel sucks then there's the issue of what they'd send to attack it miles inside enemy territory.

They will use Kinzhals or Iskanders if they get a fix on a HIMARS launcher position and have a missile ready to go. Probably Russia's best shot to get the location are their Tu-214R signal intelligence air planes.

Why do the germans have a stock of "rocket launchers on pick-up trucks"...

Have they been supplying the middle east with technicals :confused:

I found it a bit odd that they are sending them 5000 rocket launchers and 200 trucks, plus 20 rocket launchers attached to trucks xD

I do wonder if we're going to get to the point where Ukraine eventually turn around and politely ask if countries could please stop sending them anti tank weapons, as based on the numbers claimed they have by now at least 10x as many as Russia have tanks :p

Don't think the hits on civilians are an accident. Russia aims the missiles at malls, hospitals, etc.

The problem they have is, after a few vodkas "take out the infantry" sounds too much like "take out the infantschool".

You do need those weapons where the tanks are though - no good having enough anti-tank weapons to destroy every tank Russia has twice or more over if they are spread so thin you have limited supply where they are needed. In general I think people can't comprehend the situation when there is 100s of miles of frontline and 100s more miles of border with hostile entities to manage.
 
Zelensky posts tweet thanking Biden for the latest aid package announced, Russian ambassador jumps in to add his 5 cents and says there will be no mercy given to the Ukrainian population
