LOL...lots of Russian media trying to scramble and say "videos of Kupyansk falling are just civilians filming the city."

Astounding accomplishment!

fucking hell, Izyum and Lyman both liberated between finally passing out last night and waking up.

This all started with analogies to Winter War. Lately, comparisons to second battle of Kharkiv. Here's hoping we're soon comparing this to Eastern Front of the Great War in Novemberish 1917.

I saw one video which acknowledged they took the city, but spun it as a wry joke (paraphrasing from memory): "I didn't know Kupyansk was the capital of Russia! -- all the celebration, as if they just took a real Russian city. Fronts shift around a little back and forth, but it's what happens at the end that counts."

But it's their city, it matters to them! (Also Russia encouraged celebration when Russia took it, so...  ::) )

Looking forward to the day when they try to spin things as "Pfft, so much celebration over Crimea, as if they had conquered a truly Russian province! Come here and try that and see what happens!"

I saw on FOX this morning a report that Putin had arrested 5 of his top officials for conspiring to remove him from office. So, 5 more volunteers for the Izyum Front.

  As usual, I find wry humor a bit puzzling.  Perhaps somebody should have reminded the humorist that Russia attacked Ukraine and that the point of the war is to get the Russians out of
Ukraine.  As far as I know, no one has the intention of taking Moscow except for the Russians who have been boondoggled by Putin's regime.

Well, the Russian MoD has finally spoken.   

With their strategic objectives in the Kharkiv region complete, they're redeploying all forces there south to support the stated goals of their Special Military Operation in Donetsk and Luhansk. 

Russia is victorious in Kharkiv!  Civilians in the area will be evacuated to Russian territory in this orderly redeployment.
