Ukrainian gunners shelled a Russian air-defense system in eastern Ukraine probably sometime in the past couple of days.

That itself isn’t all that noteworthy. Ukraine’s forces have destroyed dozens of Russian air-defenses since Russia widened its war on Ukraine in late February.

What’s important is where the shelling took place: just three miles northwest of Russian-occupied Izium, 60 miles southeast of Kkarkiv in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.

Ukraine’s best medium artillery, its new American-made M777s, can lob 100-pound shells around 19 miles. That means Ukrainian forces have staged artillery no farther than 22 miles from Izium—and are blasting away.

Izium until recently was the locus of Russia’s faltering offensive in Donbas. The dozen or so Russian battalions in the area—15 percent of Russia’s entire army in Ukraine—in recent weeks pushed through Izium then west a few miles along the P79 highway.

The Ukrainian army’s 81st Air Mobile Brigade fought a tactical retreat along the P79, extracting a heavy toll on the Russians for every mile they advanced. The result, however, was a Russian penetration several miles into Ukrainian-held territory south of Kharkiv, where Kyiv’s troops now are mopping up.

The Izium salient represents a risk—to both sides. If the Russians can deepen and strengthen the salient, they might encircle the Ukrainian brigades south of Izium in Severodonetsk and nearby communities. Some of the best and most experienced Ukrainian units are in the Severodonetsk pocket. Surrounding and destroying them could tilt the war in Russia’s favor, at least in short term.

But there’s risk to the Russians, too. The Izium salient is vulnerable at its flanks, especially its northern flank. As Ukraine’s 92nd and 93rd Mechanized Brigades wrap up their operations around Kharkiv, they’ve shifted south to join the fight around Izium. If Ukrainian troops west and south of Izium can draw out the Russian battalions, the 93rd in particular is in a position to cut across the Russians’ supply lines and isolate the front-line troops.

That the Ukrainians now are within artillery range of Izium is a strong indicator that the salient indeed represents a greater danger to the Russians than it does to the Ukrainians. Russia already has lost as much as a third of its army in Ukraine; a defeat in Izium could add to that loss—a lot.

The Kremlin seems to appreciate the danger. There are hints the Izium salient no longer is the focus on Russia’s efforts in Donbas—and that Russian troops are repositioning south to join the fight around Lyman, a settlement that sits astride some important roads and railways and currently is under Ukrainian control.

Russian units including the T-72-equipped 90th Guards Tank Division in the past week have been advancing north and south of Lyman, clearly aiming to surround the town’s Ukrainian defenders, potentially including elements of the 57th Motorized Brigade. The Russians are trying to do around Lyman what the Ukrainians are threatening to do farther north around Izium—get behind an enemy force and cut it off.

But don’t lose sight of the bigger picture. In late February, Moscow’s war aims were maximalist. It intended to capture Kyiv, decapitate the Ukrainian government and seize both Donbas and the entire Ukrainian Black Sea coast, cutting off the country from the sea.

Three months later, Moscow’s aims are minimalist. Kyiv is safe, Ukraine’s main port Odesa is safe and the only place Russia stands any chance of “winning” anything is in Donbas. And only parts of Donbas.

Lol, you are joking. No serious person takes western military analysts seriously. A whole general posted a video game as evidence of Ukrainians decimating Russians and then called a surrender of over 1,500 Ukrainian troops an evacuation. Console yourself for now. Time will tell.

Mr. Those guys have been in that steel plants for almost a month. They received orders to surrender.. The idea is to exchange them as prisoners of war... Red Cross already registered them as Pow


Something you just know about Ukraine, no step is taken without maximum consideration....


Their surrender is not like the usual surrender of fighting men. They where holed up inside the giant steel complex.. What is the use?

Fox News says the Biden administration is considering arming Ukrainian with long range missiles to take out Russian warships in the black sea and open their ports

It is still under consideration as America enters into partnership with Ukraine to export her wheat

Svlla:


You say wetin

Nothing you Sabi

Distance from Donbas to Izium is 188km which is 116 miles. Ukrainian ground firepower does not cover such distance. ode

From Izium town to Barvinkove by road na 40km, to Sloviansk 50km talkless of Southern Izium where Russian forces concentrate that's 2/3(12km) of the distance

Barvinkove-Sloviansk-Kramatorsk where Ukrainian forces concentrate south of izium is within 5-10 km of contact with Russian forces advancing from Izium
Even Ukrainian forces at Lisichansk are within 40km operational range with Russian forces from Izium

Kharkiv to Izium who tell you say they can hit Izium from Kharkiv that's over 120km. Na missiles dem wan use.

You dey reason like toddler....Izium town is 120km from Kharkiv which is out of operational range of most Artillery fire

You're just plain stupid

Bigchristo:
The Ukrainian forces always win in social media while Russia is doing serious damage behind the scenes which the western media propaganda won’t allow their praise singers know, where I give up is when over 1,500 Ukrainian fighters surrendered at Mariupol steel plant they tagged it evacuation, so Russia is now evacuating its enemies from war zone? It’s only a foolish thinker will bank on what the western media are saying, even the EU which claimed to be hitting tough on Russ are still secretly buying their natural gas and crude oil, for how long will the media keep deceiving you people?

Ukrainian forces are clearly an elite team of fighters...

They know what to do and they do it so well.

The moment Russia lost Kharkiv I knew it was only a matter of time that they would take Izium and be within range of Donbas and here we are.

Their guns are now within range of Izium as they keep pushing forward which has caused Russian troops to once again change plans and focus on Lyman as their staging point which is their last line of defence before Donbas

I love this

You do not even know what you are saying. Which Gog and Magog is Israel?

Read below:

Ezekiel 38:1-2: The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal;


Magog, Meshech, and Tubal were all sons of Japheth, who was one of the three sons of Noah. Jepheth and his family migrated to the area of modern-day Russia (Genesis 10:2-3).

Gog is a person who rules over the land of Magog(Russia).Magog means the "Prince of Rosh." (Gog) Rosh is the old root word for the land of Russia.


God informs Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38:15, "You will come from your place in the far North” (the Hebrew word means "the uttermost part of the North." What's north of Jerusalem? Moscow. What is north Russia? Nothing. Meshech is the old name for the capital of Western Russia, which is known today as Moscow. Tubal is identified as a city in Siberia.

Gog (Russia) is the King of the North.

I don’t have the time to go into history. Just do a proper research.

grandstar:


War is a bad thing and I have chosen to remain neutral in this issue. This war is very unique and should not be viewed ordinarily.

Even if Russia wins the war, the victory would be pyrrhic. Western sanctions are taking a heavy toll on the Russian economy.

Worse, the West will ensure that Russia pays for Ukraine's reconstruction costs. Don't forget that $350bn of Russian frozen foreign reserves are held by the West. Where's the victory?

The world is paying a bitter price for this war. Fuel prices have hit the roof and the pain is felt globally. Food prices are also on the increase as Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe. Russia is the largest exporter of wheat in Europe and I'm sure it also features prominently in other agricultural products. A lot of this production is no more entering the global economy. It
