Another bad day for Ukraine: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1784291236188160441.html

This is... starting to look like an envelopment, at least at the local level around Chasiv Yar. Again I don't think the actual battle lines or territory matters that much, but it's another sign that the Ukraine forces are starting to lose their effectiveness and can no longer hold the line like they used to. Let us hope that the latest aid package gives them significant help.

It looks like Russia is developing a giant pincer movement that will envelop Niu-York.

man this sounds weird out of context. I had to double check that that's a real place.
