I think this is a real blow to the Russians. While 5 km after 3 months might not sound good, its 5 km through what has to be the largest and most complex fortification line in Europe since WW2. We are talking about defense in debth with miles of minefields, tank traps, trenches and with significant reserves.

If Ukranians keep pushing eventualy they will breach through... and then its rush to the sea.

Paying off.

I'm sorry I have to point it out, it's an illness.

At first I thought they might keep going after the initial push, but more recent reports are that they slowed down again, and pulled back a lot of the armour. I wonder if we will see more of the same "intense, short push" in the coming days in an effort to force the Russians to deploy reserves to different parts of the front.

That 5km deep penetration is fucking great. Keep it up!

Just based on DeepState's layout of Russian defence lines, this looks like they've reached the first defence line. Hopefully this is the big breakthrough we've been hoping for.

Should have just stayed on the defensive with the 5:1 kill count in their favor. By the time Russia got to Kiev, Russia would literally be out of men.
