I was really puzzled by the Kremlin’s lack of control of the Russian speaking information space prior to Prigozhin’s coup. Unsurprising they’re taking a harder stance now. I assume this kind of silence will continue and shouldn’t be much of an issue for Russia unless they suffer another major defeat. One can only hope

But good to know they easily intercepted a dozen Storm Shadows aiming for the bridge... 🤡
I'll laugh if Ukraine can pull off a fourth big frontline collapse.
Me too, me too
Not only that, I see a lot less pro Russian stuff since like April? The shills are probably still shocked of that glorious winter assault which...kinda went to shit.
I think they are kind of in reverse Kharkiv situation. In the initial days of russian invasion, they saw russia taking over huge pieces of Ukrainian land. They expected that winter offensive will be more of that. Instead it was this meatgrinder in Bakhmut.
In the same way a lot of people expected that Ukraine will liberate their territory as fast as they did in Kharkiv not understanding the unique set of circumstances that allowed that to happen. Kherson liberation is much better example to look at. It took weeks of grinding down russian forces in the area and sustained logistical starvation of the russian army to force them to step back.
It's also good example for russia. It shows that on long enough timeline they won't be able to hold the occupied area. And even if they dump a bunch of forces there to keep the control, they'll likely see collapse somewhere else (like they saw in Kharkiv) followed by defeat in the area they managed to hold just a little bit longer.
