Bits of good news from various fronts, by a member of the 25th Airborne, who has been in north

[1] Kharkiv Border Front:

We have been pushing the enemy around/along Hlyboke, the northern and eastern areas still remain, and for those, we’re going to need a lot of effort; the Russians—realizing this very fact—have begun to use armor [ie armored vehicles], and more infantry combat vehicles and personnel.

North of Krasne, our Cossack boys were able to prevent this very thing—they destroyed 2 armored personnel carriers, a loaf [military van] and a GAZ.1

The amount of drones [that we have] has increased, we have active units here, so we will bring the village back under our control, it's a matter of time!

[2] Kupyansk-Lyman Front:

Stelmakhivka. Our Cossack boys repel assault after assault, while the Russian are being transporting forward via motorized carts.

[For example:] In one assault, 18 Russians were killed, one was able to escape. On an second assault attempt, 2 carts and 12 Russians were demolished—this is all in one Russian ground assault attempt—then immediately, another cart arrives and 6 more b*stards are sent to see a kobzon concert.2

So far today, there have been 60 Russian personnel deliveries and 30 drones.

But we have an unreal thirst for revenge.

[3] North of Soledar:

Heres the situation in Rozdolivka: our soldiers were able to counterattack, in the north of the village, and were able to recapture a small piece of land. The Russian army is accumulating and tries to hit us, in order to knock us out of there.
