Ukraine is kicking ruzzian ass in the eastern part of the country

Is it a rout? Who knows, info is mostly 2 days old. Seems like a classic "rope a dope" move.
Feign build up in the south, pin the troops down and attack in the north.
Commenters are using info from ruzzian telegram comments.
No supplies, no command and control. The ruzzians are experiencing death by 1000 cuts..
RU is leaving mass quantities of weapons and kit.
The best line I have heard is.
"Russia is the biggest weapons supplier to the Ukrainians in this war" Slava Ukraini!

4. As other commenters have pointed out that Kupyansk is a big supply hub for the RU army..

Many roads and rail lines go into and out of Kupyansk. To the north near the russian border was a R&R place for the troops. That is all gone now. RU moves most of it's supply by rail so that is now questionable how they will get supplys to the remaining RU troops. Hummmm..

What is actually happening on the ground is lost in the fog of war.

But that being said, Ukrainians have owned the propaganda war from the get-go.

Слава Україні!

Ukrainians have a very sophisticated intelligence network that is operating in real time. Russia's system, by comparison is failing at every turn. Curiously the best intel we receive are the intercepted telephone calls made by Russian soldiers calling home, using bootleg cell phones and Ukrainian (!) cell towers; Autocracy at its best, Baby!

the Ukrainian people, that they are able to end the war soon, as the victors, of course, and push every Russian out of the country. Except the war criminals, of course. Keep them in Ukrainian jails.
