The Daily Briefing

Good Morning all the war is on it’s 14th day And yesterday we say the start of Russia’s next offensive. Yesterday I noted that it looks like Russia was starting a new offensive on Sumy and Kharkiv. I was wrong. This was a general offense on all fronts. We’ll start with Kharkiv. Lacking sufficient control…

March 8th, 2022  Good morning, its Day 13. My apologies on this later post. Yesterday was an interesting day to say the least.  One of the uncomfortable realities of war is civilians will die. We’ve recently seen GRAD fire hitting apartments, cluster bombs rocking residential neighborhoods, and missiles hitting schools. Ukraine has come out strongly…

March 7th, 2022 Bit of a late one today but Day 12 has started in Ukraine and well with recent Ukrainian counterattacks and Russian advances this promises to be interesting. Yesterday Russia renewed its offences north-west of Kiev retaking Iprim for I believe the third or fourth time. Meanwhile the push to encircle Kiev continues.…

March 6th, 2022 Good morning, everyone it’s the 11th day of the war and the sun is rising over Kiev. The past 24 hours have been big for both Russia and Ukraine. On August 18, 1940, the Luftwaffe suffered about 70 aircraft shot down in the deadliest day of the Battle of Britain. The past…

March 5th, 2022 Good morning it’s Day 10 of the war. You’ll notice some of my posts have the wrong day. Apparently, it’s hard to remember how many days ago the war started. Anyway, the big news of the day seems to be a Cease fire in the towns of Mariupol and Volnovakha. This went…

March 4th, 2022 Hello everyone, apologize on missing the past two days had some schoolwork I needed to take care of, and sleep to catch up on.  Anyway the 9th day of the war is well underway so here’s a recap. Over the past couple of day’s Russia managed to cut off and take Kherson,…

February 28th, 2022 Good morning it’s 7:17AM in Kiev as I write this. (I am in New York) and we start the 6th day of combat. Yesterday we saw relatively mild combat across Ukraine as Peace talks entered their first day. More notably we saw the MOEX close yesterday and now today, the Rubble fell…

February 27th, 2022 As I’m writing this it’s 9am in Kiev. The start of Day six has begun. Let’s get into the daily briefing. Over the weekend the Russian attacks have gained new momentum primarily in the Northeast and Southeast, with a Russian Spearhead passing Rommy (west of Sumy) and reportedly reaching as far as…

February 26th, 2022 As dawn breaks over Ukraine, we look to the fourth day of fighting. Over the night Russian advances on Kiev were stopped and, in some cases, repelled. That was where most of the fighting took place. There is also confirmed two Il-76’s shot down believed full of VDV forces. Continuing a high…

February 25th, 2022  As the sun rises for Day two Russia will need to make up for lost time seen in their night assaults of the north. Chernihiv will likely be a goal to cut off and the city of Kharkov, the 2nd largest in Ukraine and a major logistics point will remain a priority.…
