I like how in the comments people getting butt hurt over the term "even". I've never even heard of that country so yes....it would be an "even".

That walk up though. Reminded me of this gif and Right Said Fred at the same time.

It also reminds me of late videos of Hitler.

At this rate, the undertaker is going to make him wait....he's going to walk up the receptionist in hell and ring the bell for like 20 minutes before someone comes out.

You know what? Stop firing missiles from there and you won't have any civilian casualties. It's not like Ukraine is coming in there and shooting them in the back of the head.

The September 15th ISW summery assessment is here:

Ukrainian forces are continuing counteroffensive operations in eastern Ukraine, increasingly pressuring Russian positions and logistics lines in eastern Kharkiv, northern Luhansk, and eastern Donetsk Oblasts. Russian sources reported that Ukrainian

Ukraine had another good day. A tactical achievement I choose to highlight is:

"A Russian source claimed that Ukrainian forces expelled Russian forces from Sosnove on the north bank of the Siverskyi Donets River and are fortifying positions at the settlement.[14] The source also reported that Russian forces may have pulled out from Studenok immediately west of Sosnove to avoid encirclement."

You'll have trouble finding Sosnove or Studnok on a map. If you do try to find them look for Studnok first and then scroll in on the map for finer detail and Sosnove will pop up one or two miles east of Studnok. Both places are tiny but Sosnove is basically just a road junction and a small railroad switching yard where military trains could be unloaded, also it being a tactically important place as well for guns to be placed to shell the areas surrounding Lyman.

It will be an important place for a day or two. It was also an important place for a few days last May.

That report probably matches up with the other post about the Kyrgyzstan leader making him wait, if you read this portion of it......

The Kremlin has almost certainly drained a large proportion of the forces originally stationed in Russian bases in former Soviet states since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February, likely weakening Russian influence in those states. A Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) investigation reported on September 14 that the Russian military has already deployed approximately 1500 Russian personnel from Russia’s 201st Military Base in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, to Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began and plans to deploy 600 more personnel from facilities in Dushanbe and Bokhatar, a southern Tajik city, in the future.[10] RFE/RL additionally reported on September 13 that Russia has likely redeployed approximately 300 Tuvan troops from the Russian Kant Air Base in Kyrgyzstan to fight in Ukraine at varying points since late 2021.[11]

The withdrawals from the Central Asian states are noteworthy in the context of border clashes between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Tajik and Kyrgyz border guards exchanged fire in three separate incidents on September 14, killing at least two people.[12] The uptick in violence between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, both of which are members of the Russian-controlled Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), comes alongside renewed aggression by Azerbaijan against CSTO member state Armenia. Russian forces also withdrew 800 personnel from Armenia early in the war to replenish losses in Ukraine, as ISW has previously reported.[13]

Oh, and this little tidbit was buried towards the bottom, but I think it could prove significant in the near future....

Russian-appointed occupation officials and milbloggers claimed that Ukrainian forces conducted a landing at the Kinsburn Spit (a narrow peninsula of the Crimean Peninsula).

Right....as soon as the first missile originates from there it's on the short list. Level it.

Can confirm. I’ve seen these trucks on the highway near Belgorod over the last few days. Didn’t know what they were.
