He was voted in, not so sure about Putin's rise to the top....I don't get why that is relevant? Zelenskyy used to be an actor.

Lol I was gonna type that.
It started a while back they're just not speed running it, these positions are much harder to attack than Kharkhiv was.
Slow and steady, find the weaknesses and exploit them.
Protesters storming the capitol is the same as a full-on mercenary army marching through the countryside with tanks and and anti-arcraft?
I suspect that a force with tanks, anti-air shooting down planes etc with 200 miles of washington may be noticed.. especially if the leader announced the intent..If a small hostile force traversed that far through the US, (out in the open no less) and got to Washington, it would demonstrate weaknes in my country's defenses. (And leadership)
This epesode has exposed just how thinly-stretched (weak) Russia is right now.

That's quite the reach.

I think he lost his temper over a variety of issues, ammunition, poor support from regular army, trying to absorb Wagner into regular army.
He lost it and went after those running the military. Probably not Putin himself but they've probably not been on speaking terms for a while.
Lukashenko and Prigozhin are buddies, Lukashenko offered to mediate as he's buddies with both. I don't think it's any more complicated than 2 buddies fall out and the buddy in common tries to smooth the waves, and succeeds, sort of.
I’m glad Boris has no armed forces..
It does mean that, but proxy of absorbing wagner into the army, Russia has just invaded Africa and taken control of mining etc.
It isn't splitting hairs. It is a key point that anti-gun people don't understand. A semi-auto rifle is not an "assault" weapon. They use it to scare people into driving to ban guns because it sounds scary.
But anyway.. kinda getting off-topic here.
Ukraine made more gains in the South. Claim that the counter offensive main attack hasn't occurred yet. Partial Bridge head possibly established across Dnipro river (Skeptical though as that's a lot of swamp area).
They are across. BUt not penetrated far in.
This map is very cautiously updated based on confirmed photos etc

Seems risky move and easy to get large equipment lost there if not carefully planned, as if Russians blow the bridge, vehicles can't retreat.
Perhaps the deal with Putin was for the pretext of Wagner getting "evicted" from Russia to Belarus only to finance another northern attack
Off topic was about the US insurrection I believe, not the CiC.

Was watching one video where they were talking about Ukraine trying to avoid hitting a town near the river directly, which is why they are trying to probe every other area first, as that town will be a major challenge. I forget the name, I will need to look it up. More on the Western side as the Dnipro river bends around. They might need to assault directly if they can't get a breakthrough elsewhere.
