Large amounts of Russian military equipment have been found moving in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, and it cannot be ruled out that the Russian forces may plan to recapture Kherson next.

This morning, Ukrainian propagandist and head of the "Occupation Research Center," Peter Andriushenko, released secretly filmed photos and videos confirming this news.

In the direction of Konstantinovka (Donetsk Constantinovka), the Russians controlled Predtechne yesterday afternoon.

In the direction of South Donetsk, on the right bank of the Vovcha River, the Russians cleared a stretch of field south of Khorivovo, and this section of Donetsk is almost completely cleared. ​​​

With the Russian occupation of Shelbinivka to the south of Konstantinovka (Donetsk Constantinovka), the situation for the Ukrainian forces in this area has become very dangerous, with the Ukrainian army compressed into a small area south of Klymen-Bik reservoir.

The remaining issue is dealing with the Ukrainian remaining forces in the settlements of Klymen-Bik and Katerynivka.

Additionally, since July 19, the Russian forces have controlled the settlement of Yablunivka, which was completely cleared this morning, and the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed this news.

The Russians have used a "zeroing" tactic to gradually creep back into Kupiansk city, and now the city is in chaos, with Ukrainian commanders ordering no retreat and engaging in urban warfare against the Russians.

For Russians and Ukrainians, one can think about the issue from another angle. From President Putin's perspective, sacrificing tens of thousands and injuring dozens of thousands of Russian youths to reclaim the Donbas region, as well as using it as a stepping stone to further threaten the heartland of Ukraine, is the most obvious response by Russia to NATO's eastward expansion since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and also a guarantee to prevent further blood loss in Russia. Putin is willing to pay this price for it. Russians understand this logic.

As for the United States and Europe, they consider it a good deal to let a few million Ukrainians die to limit Russia's counterattack within a reasonable range. They don't care at all about the deaths of several million Ukrainians.

The outcome of this war is allowing Russia to gain limited territory and resources after paying a certain cost, and it's just a matter of when the old Europe is willing to accept this reality.​
