Today was dramatic. I wish I could say it was in a good way. We're seeing a massive escalation.
The attempts at a truce have failed. Ukraine is fighting in bloody battles.
An Su-25 was shotdown again. This was again near Gorlovka.
The rebels have heavy artillery now, not just the GRAD MLRS. They are using them a lot.
GRADs are being fired from across the border into Ukraine from Russia. There's no denying the Russians are heavily involved. its one thing to squint and claim the folks are coming across the border and fighting with small arms as they do (even RPGs). Its quite another when they start using ARTILLERY from your soil.
The Ukrainian 72nd brigade near the border is encircled and getting massively punished.
The rebels claim they have taken Marinivka back from the Ukrainian army. The Ukrainians deny this.
The flag on the eastern Rebels is NOT the Stars and Bars. Noel did a better search than I did about the flag in use and pointed out it was based off a Russian naval ensign.
Whatever 'nasty surprise' the Ukrainians have planned, they better bring it now.
The US & EU enacted more sanctions. The EU's was pretty tepid. The US ones were stronger and targeted energy, defense and financial industries.
This is only going to get worse.
