MORE 🧵(1/3): ISW has observed evidence to assess that Russian forces consolidated positions in or seized about 90.35 square kilometers of territory in Ukraine in August 2026, averaging 2.91 square kilometers seized per day. Including Russian infiltrations, Russian forces advanced or infiltrated into about 123.53 square kilometers — an average pace of 3.98 square kilometers per day. Russian forces’ main territorial gains in August 2026 have been in the Fortress Belt area, Donetsk Oblast. Even there, Russian forces managed to achieve only marginal tactical gains and have thus far failed to complete the seizure of Kostyantynivka. Russian forces maintain a presence (either through advances or infiltrations) in 72.23 percent of Kostyantynivka and have failed to completely seize the settlement, even after months of increased infiltrations and urban fighting.
Imagine still saying that russia is winning at front. All its been doing is terrorizing civilians in hopes they will pressure Zelenskyy to surrender thats the latest tactic of the Kremlin. Is it worth losing over 35000 soldiers for 90km2 ?
@DD_Geopolitics Russians were fucking cowards in Donbas they were hiding behind civilians shooting mortar rounds from residential buildings and then accused Ukraine of killing civilians knowing damn well counter fire would hit those same civilians. These retards even admitted to doing it.
@SU_57R how can you shoot down a plane with pre programmed drone path ? he is warning planes not to fly above the airfields with russian ad missiles active. we know all too well what russian ad is capable of especially against civilian aircraft.
@Z337700R2k5 literally the most AI slop shit ever. just shows how retarded you are the audio artifacts are identical to sora shit. Also you can see literally multiple thinks that dont even make sense. but you are low iq russian so it makes sense.
@cat_ded_mitiay no he is warninng aircraft to not fly above russia with russian ad system active. we know they are very effective against civilian aircraft.
@EthanLevins2 no he is saying they shouldnt be flying into russia cause he knows what russian AD systems are capable of especially when it is against civilian aircraft.
@EthanLevins2 Sorry but russia targeting civilian sector in Ukraine wont change the fact that ruSSians are getting fucked at the front. This month russia again lost more territory then they gained.
@DonaldRidomuns Wrong, Russia has admitted to using civilians as human shields infact this was their strategy to shoot at Ukraine from civilian areas so Ukraine would it have harder to hit them back.
