🇷🇺🇺🇦❗Battle for Lysichansk
More than 2 thousand Ukrainian militants remain in the city itself, but the encirclement is shrinking quite quickly:
▪️Privolye, Shipilovka and Novodruzhesk on the outskirts of Lisichansk have already been liberated.
▪️The LPR army is successfully advancing in the north of the city. The entry of units to the central streets of the city - Pobedy Avenue and Sosyura Street was confirmed.
▪️The "Brave" battalions are actively advancing from the south from the side of the Gelatin plant and the village of Belaya Gora, at the same time developing success to the north, cutting the last road from the city of Lisichansk - Belogorovka
Thus, more than 50% percent of the city and suburbs have already been liberated from the Nazis. The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and foreign mercenaries who did not have time to retreat from the city will have to make a choice between captivity and destruction in the coming days.

"Generals are mostly energetic and stupid, which means they have a kind of active and calculating intelligence that any one of the best telephone operators possesses. Very rarely is there a union of energy and education, as in the likes of Caesar and Sulla, or as we saw in our own age in Scharnhorst and Prince Eugene. For this reason, generals are mostly stooges for hire.
Then there is Heinrich von Stülpnagel who is called “the blond Stülpnagel” to distinguish him from other generals in this old military dynasty. He exhibits princely qualities befitting his proconsular station. These include his appreciation of peace and quiet, of leisure, and of the society of a small intellectual circle. All this contrasts with the workings that are otherwise found in the higher echelons of the staff. His aristocratic character tends to judge people by their minds."

It's inevitable, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

"I had only one sorrow: that the news of the victory in the papers frightened me. The ranks of the German cavalry had already seen the towers of Paris; if this continued, what would be left for us? We still wanted to hear the whistle of bullets and experience moments that can be called the true baptism of men."

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Since June, the largest state think tanks in the United States have been recording extremely pessimistic forecasts regarding the prospects for the development of the Ukrainian crisis. All of them are inclined to the inevitable defeat of the Kiev regime. In this regard, the pace of arms supplies to Ukraine in the near future will begin to decline sharply, up to a complete cessation. There are already statements by a number of representatives of Western states that the assistance provided to Kiev significantly devastates their arsenals, which undermines the security of these countries.

"A battle was no longer an episode that spent itself in blood and fire; it was a condition of things that dug itself in remorselessly week after week and month after month. What was a man’s life in this wilderness whose vapour was laden with the stench of thousands upon thousands of decaying bodies? Death lay in ambush for each one in every shell-hole, merciless, and making one merciless in turn. Chivalry here took a final farewell. It had to yield to the heightened intensity of war, just as all fine and personal feeling has to yield when machinery gets the upper hand. The Europe of today appeared here for the first time on the field of battle. . . ."

🇺🇦⚡War to the last Ukrainian is now official
The Ukrainian General Staff confirmed the ban for men of military age to travel outside their hometown/settlement without good reason.
This measure is being taken in order to reduce the number of evaders from the next wave of mobilization in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Every law requires an authority who watches and regulates its execution; but this power is lacking in the observance of international agreements. Acknowledgment of established rules does not secure adherence to these rules.
By the same token, no paragraph learned by heart will convince the soldier that he must see a lawful enemy in the unorganized populace which resorts to force of arms on its own initiative and from which his life is not secure for a moment, day or night.
Thus, not much weight should be attached to international agreements. What third power will resort to arms solely because one or the other of two belligerents has violated the laws of warfare? There is no earthly tribunal. Success is to be expected from the religious and moral education of the individual. It also stems from the sense of honor and justice of the leaders. They lay down the law and act accordingly as far as possible under the abnormal conditions of war, where everything must be considered individually."
~ Helmuth von Moltke
