This is really positive news. Thanks for filling us in. This is what Ukraine should be doing--pressing their carefully prepared advantage. I am not at all in favor of peace talks. This is exactly the time to counterattack and regain as much territory as possible. The Russian army is at its weakest, and Ukraine---and the EU is getting stronger by the day. Nothing less than a complete defeat will stop Russia.
We need to seriously ask why our highest government officials were not only carelessly sharing military secrets, but sharing military secrets on an app that we know Russia has hacked!! And why they were using that app IN Russia??
Trump and his cronies are clearly colluding and Russia knows our military plans …This is concrete evidence that the Trump administration is corrupt, colluding, and communist.
I can't imagine any reason for intentionally adding a journalist to the chat, so would chalk that up to sheer incompetence, seemingly one of Trump's staffing objectives.
There are so many other behaviors that point to corruption and collusion, abandoning democratic ideals and trusted allies alike. But somehow blatant incompetence seems to enable some level of deniability of corrupt or criminal acts, at least enough for some voters.
I do wonder if these are shaping operations that precede a larger counter attack. I find it interesting after the successful all robot operation Ukraine did they've not launched further ones.
If that is the case, then the incursion into Belgorod is an attempt to distract and degrade the Russians while testing the limits of US support for Russia.
Going all out for Russia would be a huge mistake bc a vast majority would vociferously reject that. I can’t see how Congressional repubs could defend that.

Thanks, Shankar, excellent news and analysis. You’re the rare person who can write a detailed piece like this and make it understandable for the layperson (me). Thanks especially for making this particular article available to all, very informative and much appreciated.

GREAT ARTICLE!!❤️ if Americans had these facts, there’s no way they could deny supporting Ukraine
Thx, Cat.
Sadly the cult of republican supporters still could, but we must remember they are only a minority

Incompetence of the highest order.
Treason.
It's either incompetence of the highest order or plain treason! Honestly I can't tell the difference between Trump and Putin these days.

Not sure. It is very tactical at this point. May develop into strategic.
Shaping operations can be tactical depending on their objectives remember.
yep
All glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦!
Europe must hold firm to its commitments to Ukraine!
Putin’s aggression MUST BE PUNISHED!
No ceasefire with Putin’s puppet strings attached! Trump is Putin’s biggest puppet!
If Russia tries to sell rotten potatoes, talking of a “wedge” between Europe and the USA, know this!
Hell yes there’s a wedge between Europe and the USA, he’s called TRUMP, PUTIN’S CHUMP!
CANADA AND EUROPE TOGETHER 🇨🇦🇪🇺
Yes! Our Allies must remain FIRMLY UNITED FOR ALL OUR SAKES!
OUR OWN FREEDOM IS NOW IN EUROPE’S HANDS! THIS THE IRONY OF HISTORY!
KNOW THAT TRUMP IS OUR ENEMY, A TRAITOR YO HIS COUNTRY!
Brilliant. A marvelous leader in Syrski. What do you think of recent “ceasefire” agreement other than that Putin will not hold to it?
delay
Thank you!
Great commentary and detail.
Great article and good to see strategy like this-take the offensive and move carefully!!
Hopefully Trump doesn't cut the Ukrainian intel or brick their American weapons to halt their advances.
Never rule that out. It is always an option. If Russian lines starts breaking bad, Trump-Musk-Vance may go all out to protect Putin.
If that is the case, then the incursion into Belgorod is an attempt to distract and degrade the Russians while testing the limits of US support for Russia.

Superb news, specific and beautifully written. I’m contributing to another drone today. I hope many others will also. People can win over tyrants.
