The Daily Briefing

A lot has changed in the 23 day’s I’ve been gone, and over the coming days I’ll be writing about that. But for right now let me quickly give you the rundown. So Ukrainian counter attacks showed the Russian reconsolidation wasn’t doing a great job as they made multiple successive pushes. It was at this…

Good morning. It’s day 30 of the 15-day special military operation. Russia continues its assault on Mariupol pushing into the city centre from the west, threatening to cut the defence in two. This is often a very effective way to win a city faster. They’ve also begun a counterattack by Ivankiv to the west, that…

It’s Day 29. The start of the 2nd month of the war. The Russo-Ukrainian war has been raging now for much longer than the Kremlin expected. And longer than most analysts expected. I’d like to apologies for missing the last few days of updates. I needed a small break to focus on school, and a…

Good morning. It’s the 23rd day of the invasion. Russia has pushed into Mariupol from the east and are currently contesting Azovstal, a steel and iron works along the coast and Kalmius River. Being an industrial area, this will be a prime position to bleed Russian forces with repeated ambushes using the plentiful rail cars,…

Good Morning everyone. It’s a late one today for the 22nd day of the war. Russia has begun to focus more and more on the east as of late. Likely attacking where they cannot where they’d like to. Russia has continued operations near Severodontsk to cut of the city, taking the town of Rubizhne about…

Good morning everyone. It’s the 21st day of the year. One of the hardest things is that everyone following the war is distinguishing rumour from fact. But just as hard. is trying to look through the fog of war. There are only so many times you can watch convoy number 53 get ambushed by NLAW’s…

Good morning it is Day 20 of the war. Back to starting with Russia. It appears Russia is fully transitioning out of a “Rush Kyiv” strategy. On the west side of Kyiv there remains fierce fighting north of Iprin, however Russia has begun advancing south from the M-06 highway. Judging by the continual attacks here…

Good morning it is Day 19 and I’ve got a bit of a recap. For the first time since the war started I feel I should start with Ukraine. Their counter attack is under way. Or at the very least from where I sit it looks that way. In Kyiv’s eastern suburbs initial Russian gains…

Well good morning late briefing today. Sorry for missing yesterday. It’s been an interesting few days so I’ll do my best to recap the past couple of days of combat. For Russia it seems they’ve finally been bogged down fully. I hesitate to say this on all fronts, especially in the south near Mykoliav and…

Good morning it is the 15th day of the war And the morning sun is shinning down on Ukraine. For those who may not know this, one of my main objectives is to be objective. There is a variety of reasons for this, primarily I feel that being objective allows me to give a clearer…
