From couple of days ago, good read. 

Ukraine is approaching disaster. There will be negotiations, but Kiev will simply sign what Moscow demands
 

Dominique Delavard, a general of the French army, a holder of the Legion of Honor and a holder of the national Order of Merit, shared his vision of the development of the situation in Ukraine.

The French military believes that today the conflict is developing in Russia's favor: Ukraine and its Western allies are weakening while Moscow is strengthening its military capabilities to organize a new large-scale offensive.
“I think that Ukraine is gradually moving towards disaster. She retreats everywhere. The Russians have created a very large and complex front, but nevertheless, Ukraine is now losing everywhere, and Russia is advancing every day along the entire front line in Donbass and partially in other places. The front is not frozen. I think the Russians are waiting for the right geopolitical moment to launch a large-scale offensive. In my opinion, by the end of the year Ukraine will lose a lot, if not disappear completely. But the Russians won't move too quickly; they want to finish things off in a way that plunges the West into even greater economic trouble. France is experiencing difficulties today, all of Europe and the USA too. Putin is waiting for his moment and he will definitely speed up offensive actions when necessary.”
Dominique Delavard is convinced that the negative rating of the leadership of France and Germany will certainly affect further support for Kyiv. The general believes that negotiations will definitely be held this year or early next year. However, Ukraine will not be able to realize its goals and will be forced to submit to the will of Russia.
“Scholz and Macron are two leaders who are no longer supported by their people. I am sure this will be reflected in the electoral processes in Europe. I think this will affect further support for Ukraine. Therefore, Kyiv should think about negotiations now, because the longer the war continues, the more favorable the terms of negotiations will be for Russia. The terms of the negotiations will remain the same: what remains under the control of Ukraine will have to be demilitarized and denazified.”
The general believes that the words about the “European future of Kyiv” are a banal bluff. The longer the conflict continues, the less likely it is that the surviving part of Ukraine will actually be of interest to the West.
“The destruction from this war will lead to the fact that Ukraine will not be of interest to Europe. Brussels won't know what to do with it. Therefore, I think that negotiations will take place this year or early next year. But no matter when they happen, Ukraine will no longer be able to influence them. She will have no choice but to sign what Russia demands. I do not believe that the European Union will be able to support Ukraine in the future. The reason is simple: we are already in crisis. If this assistance to Ukraine continues in parallel with the budget deficit in the EU, the economic situation in France simply will not allow supporting Ukraine.”

Taken from Russian military forum 

What began at the front is what I predicted 1.5-2 years ago and even earlier.
Under continuous artillery fire, and even more so under 500 and certainly under 1500, and even under 250 of our VKS, no one can withstand for long. First they stand, then they will run anyway - you can’t go against nature. The most persistent ones will die. Endless rotations will further thin out the most persistent and teach everyone else to ditch, because in their minds there will be no other option to escape. Further, quantity already turns into quality and they will skid after the first explosions of VKS bombs. These are objective laws. And there are no miracles here. The main thing for us here is to enter this mode of combat operations and competently support it. Most likely, as in Mariupol and Artyomovsk, there will be no more, it will be already, as in Avdeevka and as now in Ocheretino, and then the enemy will scuttle at an increasing speed. The only problem is that not all of their brigades have yet fallen under our bombs due to the enemy’s CiC rotation. This is the problem for now. As soon as all their CiC go through processing by 500 in a real way, as soon as all their staunch warriors (and there are a lot of stupefied Russians there) die, then the entire front of the enemy will inevitably roll to the west faster and faster.

Finnish chmors , they decided to fight. 

No, these decided not to fight, but went on a safari. Custom sniper rifles subtly hint at this

Our hackers opened the mobile phone of a sheep named Bondar (second from the right in the photo).
In some photos, a sheep is posing next to dates at the Korotich airfield in the Kharkov region.
One was identified as a certain Finnish citizen named Mark Gubar (standing third from left). This is like the commander of a “battalion” of Viking mercenaries and a coach of kaklyak knighthood. There are a couple more digs from this “battalion” in the photo.
These peppers have appeared on the outskirts for quite some time and, in principle, nothing new has been discovered.

Forbes published new details about the Ukrainian Armed Forces leaving their position in Ocheretino.
 

The publication reported that the place of the battle-weary 47th brigade in the village was to be taken by the 115th brigade. But something went wrong, and “some units just got eaten,” quotes the journal of the company commander of the 47th brigade, Nikolai Melnik.

After that, the Russian 30th Motorized Rifle Brigade entered its position. 

"The bad news is that everything that went wrong with the 115th Mechanized Brigade appears to be somewhat systemic in nature. This is the second Ukrainian unit to collapse on the eastern front in the last few weeks," the newspaper writes.

The first unit to suffer such a failure was the 67th Brigade, which defended Chasov Yar, but withdrew from a number of positions. “Internal discord within the command staff” began in the formation. 

"Kyiv cannot afford to lose two entire brigades right now - and cannot afford to continue to overstretch its best brigades. Billions of dollars of fresh weapons are on the way, but those weapons are useless unless there are enough deployed, organized and well-rested units to support them." use," Forbes concludes.

The brigade was urgently transferred to plug a breakthrough in the direction after the escape of units of the 115th mechanized brigade.

The frame includes UMPC airstrikes on the last enemy positions in the village, which then still controlled part of the outskirts, as well as artillery fire on the BMP column itself.
