Frontline situation

In the Kharkiv direction, Russian troops unsuccessfully attempted to attack the Vovchansk area three times during the day.

Eight times, the enemy assaulted Ukrainian military positions in the Kupiansk direction, in the areas of Synkivka, Kolisnykivka, and Lozova. Fighting near Stelmakhivka continues.

In the Lyman direction, Russian troops attempted to advance six times in the areas of Nevske and Druzhlyubivka. Ukrainian defenders are holding their ground firmly, inflicting significant losses on the enemy.

In the Siversk direction, the enemy conducted five attacks, focusing their efforts on the area around Verkhniokamianske. Two engagements are still ongoing.

In the Kramatorsk direction, Russian troops attempted to breach Ukrainian defenses near Chasiv Yar and the settlement of Stupochky. The situation remains under Ukrainian control.

In the Toretsk direction, Russian troops attacked five times with air support near Toretsk, Nelipivka, and the area of New York. Two engagements are still ongoing.

In the Pokrovsk direction, combat intensity remains high. The number of engagements has risen to 32. Russian troops continue to press on Ukrainian positions near Vozdvyzhenka, Novooleksandrivka, Zelene Pole, Novotroyitske, Hrodivka, Novohrodivka, Selydove, and Mykhailivka.

“Our defenders have repelled 28 attacks so far. The enemy focused their efforts today around Hrodivka and Novohrodivka, where approximately 50 percent of all encounters occurred. Preliminary enemy losses amount to 377 killed and wounded Russian troops. Additionally, one tank, two armored combat vehicles, three artillery systems, and ten vehicles were destroyed, with another three tanks and four artillery systems damaged,” the General Staff reported. —>READ MORE HERE

Even Democrats want Harris-Biden to end their cowardice and remove Ukraine’s handcuffs:

Despite Moscow’s escalations and now even demands from fellow Democrats, Team Harris-Biden continues to twiddle its thumb on lifting restrictions on Kyiv’s use of US weapons against Russia.

Do they want Ukraine to lose?

On Wednesday, Democratic Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Ben Cardin declared the “time has come” for easing Harris-Biden restrictions on Kyiv’s use of US weapons, given “Vladimir Putin’s relentless attacks on Ukrainian civilians.”

Actually, it’s long past time: If Harris-Biden had sent Ukraine sufficient stocks of restriction-free weaponry before Putin invaded, he might’ve been deterred from invading in the first place.

After he attacked and Ukraine rebuffed his forces, a generous supply of long-range weapons, aircraft and other materiel, sans restrictions, might have turned the tide, or at least made Putin seek an out.

Instead, the Harris-Biden team has only gradually ratcheted up the weapons it sends, and it still forbids their use in Russia, except in a few, small border areas.

Long-range missiles, like US ATACMS, could let Ukraine hit Putin’s assets deep inside Russian territory.

Meanwhile, Iran supplies Moscow with massive drone stocks and now even ballistic missiles — with no restrictions.

No wonder even Democrats finally want the White House to get real: Besides Cardin, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (NH) also demanded restrictions be lifted.

A bipartisan House group issued similar calls: “Unless these restrictions are lifted, Ukraine will continue to struggle to achieve victory” and Ukrainians will “suffer unnecessary death, loss and hardship,” they said. —>READ MORE HERE
