Russia has launched an offensive into the #Kharkiv region, and it has created a lot of alarmist news reports: in reality it is difficult to see what Russia's plan is.

The initial goal was to raise US$ 40.000 for his 40th birthday, but now Jake Broe's fundraiser, in collaboration with 69th Sniffing Brigade, is going to raise US$ 1.000.000 to buy trucks and drones for Ukraine. In just a week.
โ Casualties up between days, 7-day figure at a record level, combat engagements stay high
โ Equipment losses above average as well; probably vehicle record (the formal record is from the first days of the invasion when they were catching up on the data)
โ Unchanged ๐ท๐บ shelling but fewer drone, air & missile attacks
โ 39 ๐บ๐ฆ strikes reported yesterday; most this year so far
