Figured someone else would've posted it by now but... Here's the latest Perun video. It's on the potential Ukrainian Spring Counter-Offensives.

Related to the above, Tokmak is an occupied Ukrainian City a few dozen kilometers behind the frontlines. Apparently compulsory evacuations are occurring in the city.

Reports of a somewhat successful Ukrainian counteroffensive taking place in the Bakhmut area. The Commanders (or former) of the two most universally beloved units in the War have stated such apparently.

Azov Reports the Penetration and the unit responsible and the Russian units affected



Prigozhin of Wagner PMC making a beautiful morale boosting public statement on the matter.


Apparently they need ammunition again.

For all that Prigozhin is an absolute SoB and a meme, without him and his Wagners I think Russia would be MUCH worse off than they are since he seems to be the only one of Russia's commanders throughout their entire military who seems to A) Give a crap about the survival and success of his unit as a whole and B) Able to push back against the Kremlin because unlike the rest of the front during Russia's winter offensive, they actually made glacial progress in Bakhmut...

...of course with the 72nd Brigade / southern flank folding like 1 ply vs Taco Bell that progress could be reversed as it was months ago.

Success, yes. Survival... well, let's just say he is using the mercenary meme of 'the more die the less salaries i have to pay" to its full value.

Britain reportedly will provide Ukraine with long range missiles in lieu of the United States sending Ukraine ATACMS. Instead the United States will send more Patriot Missiles and Air Defense. It's rumored the British missiles to be sent will be Storm Shadow cruise missiles.


Wagner PMC Map of the Ukrainian Advance Reported Earlier in Bakhmut that took place on Victory Day (May 9th).



Undisclosed Romanian Military Aid included Romanian 122mm APR-40 MLRS.



Video of an elite Wagner PMC Storm Assault Unit made up of convicts. Including a one eyed camera operator.



A Russian kh-55 Cruise Missile that flew 400 kilometers into Polish airspace before crashing in early April has been confirmed to be a Russian kh-55 Cruise Missile that flew 400 kilometers into Polish Airspace before crashing.



Long thread on the situation of Russian Forces in Avdiivka, which is within "walking distance" of the large city of Donetsk. They are apparently facing severe supply shortages in the wake of their largely ineffective and costly assaults upon the city of Avdiivka that took place over the Winter.

US Attorney General Merrick Garland approves transfer of funds from seized Russian assets to be used in Ukraine.


A Number of Russian Telegram Channels are Reporting that Ukrainian Counter-Offensives are in progress on the flanks of Bakhmut as well as in Northeastern Ukraine West of Kupyansk and in Southern Ukraine, in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast.







Keeping in mind, this is all based on Russian reportage on the matter.

The Russian MoD however has stated any claims of Ukrainian breakthroughs are false.



And some alleged Bakhmut Vehicle Destruction, of a Russian Pantsir system by presumably Ukrainian artillery.



In the replies UAW Tracker actually explains why, despite the many edits, he feels he was able to report on what happened in the video, if you're curious.

Prigozhin, the leader of Wagner PMC as well as Igor Girkin among other Russian commentators on the internet are reporting not just about Ukrainian counteroffensives in Ukraine proper, but also of Ukrainian mechanized columns moving to the border to seize villages near Belgorod and Bryansk, if not those cities themselves. Oh also Ukraine is using chemical weapons.











It would be a pretty epic move if Ukraine bypassed the Russian defenses entirely by simply sweeping around said defenses by going through a barely defended Russia but I have my doubts.

Nice to see the pressure on this French company was enough to keep them from going back into the Russian market.
