🚨⚖️🇵🇰 ~ Supreme Court of Pakistan orders authorities to immediately release Former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Igor Strelkov writes regarding the Ukrainian offensive in the Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) sector:

Poddubny writes about the beginning of a counterattack by the AFU near Bakhmut. At the same time he reports a breakthrough of our positions near Berkhovka and Yagodnoye, as well as the fact that the enemy has displaced our troops near Kleshcheevka.

Even one glance at the map is enough to understand that so far we are talking about local (although successful) counterattacks, aimed at "squeezing the ring" previously tightened by Wagner around the western part of Bakhmut. There can be no talk of any serious offensive - the tasks that the AFU has performed and can continue to perform at the specified sites are purely tactical.

I have no information about the (alleged) "breakthrough of the AFU to Soledar" yet.

[GB: I find the part omitted to be irrelevant noise, in the circumstances. The battle will show who is right and who is wrong.]

I remain confident that if the enemy is going to launch a serious strike at Bakhmut, it will only be a secondary one.

The goal of this initial phase of the Ukrainian offensive is still to find the weak spots in the Russian armour. The main event will not begin in earnest until we see:

— a real and sustained artillery barrage against the Russian positions across the entire (or most) of the frontline;
— long-range missile and MLRS strikes at the rear of the Russian groupings, at depots, and command and communications infrastructure;
— the deployment in significant numbers of the stored-up drone arsenal; and,
— massive information warfare fud about Russian troops allegedly leaving positions.

This is still the first stage. Nothing has happened so far that gives cause for immediate concern. Even minor retreats and withdrawals would mean very little. Any such maneuvers will generally have been prepared in advance to lure the Ukrainian forces into artillery fire bags.

For those inclined to panic, I would recommend taking a break from media for a couple of days, then return to watch history happen. Those of hardier constitution are welcome to follow our reports.
