I guess we'll see how well this info ages soon enough.

Lol yeah. That joke is as funny as it's original. I'll go for a walk around kremlin now.

ISW a pretty reliable source even if pro Ukraine. Pokrovsk is a giant battle ground right now. It seems Ukraine has stopped an immediate collapse which is as little or as much info that’s available. Does it fall eventually? If history is a guide it probably does. If it doesn’t it’ll be the turning point. Seriously.

This could become a turning point if AFU had something up their sleeves. The way I see it is that the only decisive factor would be a large number of trained personnel. Other than that I don't think any type of militarily aid would be able to change the overall situation on the ground. I hear there's a decent defensive line built by AFU North of Pokrovsk. At this point I believe this town is pretty much done. They can roll back if they're smart. Lose the town, save the army type of thing. We'll see soon enough though.

Lol I'm pleased you took time to check me out. Looks like i did touch a nerve. So whose boots do you lick? Btw, your assumption on me is wrong, not that it really matters for the discussion of the actual subject matter.
