Yeah, Russia is likely buying 122mm and 152 mm shells and grad missiles from the NK. Something North Korea can easily produce, it is 1950s technology... I hope some of those will promptly explode inside barrels of Russian artillery.

Also, transporting those across all of Russia must be very inexpensive and don't strain logistics whatsoever.

...neither does it seem dangerously prone to accidents.

...this is going to end with Western Governments sponsoring pirates to seize the boats and so funding and arming a violent coup that will cause more problems later, isn't it?

There is a dedicated rail line, from Russia, through China, and into North Korea... No doubt that can handle a lot. This reddit page has a good image of rail networks on the globe.

On the emotional side of the Ukraine conflict, there have been releases of information from the groups that have been tracking Russia's coerced civilian relocation (from Ukraine to Russia). There is even a wikipedia page now for what they call filtration camps. No doubt the work camps are deep in Russia for the new cattle.

The advance has evidently since then expanded into a now quite girthy (heh) salient into Kharkiv Oblast, with Luhansk Oblast receiving just the tip (for now) (heh).

EDIT: Joke was based on maps of the advance having the salient end close to Lysychansk, so it's not quite in the Lushansk area just yet as of last info I saw but damnit the joke wrote itself >:V

I enjoy panic in pro-Russian war-related segments of Twitter and Telegram so much. And most of them are still in the denial stage.

Can't blame them, I find it hard to believe how successful this offensive is. It already goes beyond my expectations and it isn't over yet.

Seems like every war has at least one battle penis in it.

So, two major Ukrainian offensives are going steadily in Kharkiv and Kherson regions.

We are liberating village after village, town after town. Will it continue for a long time? Will this offensive end in a liberation of Kherson and/or Izyum? I don't think so. The offensive potential will be exhausted at some point and Russia will bring in their reserves. Also, rains will start in a few weeks

Still, those are major successes

He-he, sometimes I love being wrong

Seeing reports that Izyum has already been liberated.

It either Iz or it Izn't

Izyone of those izzyues

What I don't understand is where is the Russian airforce. I was very confident that such large-scale offensives are unlikely because the Russian airforce will be deadly against an advancing force

[Great Order]

Ukraine's got some pretty solid surface-to-air defences I believe, and Russia's hardly been competent during this. I suspect they're making shitty use of their air superiority.
