Sumy City on the menu.
I've remarked before that the Russians use a "nutcracker" strategy in Ukraine, deliberately smashing heavily-defended fortresses. This is because their primary metric is Ukrainian casualties, and AFU command will create a target-rich environment for them.

War in Ukraine (as of 02.05.26): Sumy direction – Miropolie... Today, the Russian Ministry of Defense officially announced the liberation of Miropolie. A very large village (once even a district center of the Sumy region) located near the border with the Kursk region (before the war, more than 2,000 people lived there). The battles for it lasted from the end of February to the end of April. And over these two months, our soldiers, step by step, house by house, cleared it of enemy soldiers. Moreover, it helped us that the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, fearing the wrath of their Fuhrer, did not report their problems on the site to higher authorities. And now we have at our disposal an excellent base for accumulation. And also a good springboard for further advancement into the depths of the Sumy region. Congratulations to the guys, as well as the "North" group, on this important success!!! Subscribe

@ArmchairW I still think Orehov will be a tough nut to crack, pun intended

Orekhovo isn't long for the Western World if things continue at this rate.
Zaporozhie City is next, btw.

Aleksandar Vučić tries to make himself look good abroad, yet Serbia’s reality keeps deteriorating. The latest RSF report is unequivocal: in 12 years of his power, the country has fallen from 54th to 106th place globally for press freedom. This is not a detail—it is a warning sign. Media freedom is a cornerstone of democracy. A candidate country cannot afford such a collapse. Full stop.

@gato_do_mato No, it's because Ukrainian brigades are undermanned, and because there wasn't a dedicated force to exploit success. Concentration can still be achieved.
English
I disagree. The Ukrainian offensive operations in Kupyansk and Zaporizhzhia from last fall and this winter demonstrated that offensive maneuver is possible even with brigades and regiments that only had a company-size element of infantry. In both cases, breakthroughs were possible if Ukraine had sufficient forces to exploit success. Proper planning, task organization, rehearsals, intelligence, and employment of fires/CUAS can set the conditions for successful offensive operations. UAS can enable, not only hinder, maneuver.

@Iwantto61363220 @MonPrimLemon Both Russians and Ukrainians are mostly losing men who've already reproduced in the war, the problem for Ukraine aren't the killed but the emmigrants

@MonPrimLemon Tbf this guy isn't exactly wrong but the Russians can lose more men it ain't ideal but it will survive Ukriane on other the hand lmao

>Russian population doesn't look much better
It's far from ideal, but it is far better looking than blundering half of your country's population in less than a generation.

Regardless of what happens next, the damage is already done. The future doesn’t look rosy, to put it politely. By the way, the Russian population pyramid doesn’t look much better. They are cooked as well.

@evergreenterra9 @Endendini1 Čega ima ovde da se o tome priča dva minuta a kamoli dva sata molim te. Merkator projekcija polove uveličava u poređenju sa ekvatorom i to je to
@Endendini1 Ja svaki dan provedem makar dva sata pričajući o ovome, ljudima dosadilo da me slušaju pa uglavnom pričam sa sa sobom u sobi. Naporno je al šta ću, mora se.
@Endendini1 Kao prvo koga boli kurac, kao drugo tvoja karta ironično sama nije tačna jer linija koja najkraće povezuje Evropu i kraj Sibira na globusu prolazi kroz severni pol pa je zbog toga kraća. Ova koja je na karti nije ta linija i definitivno je duža od linije u Africi

Again about the difficult situation in Kostyantynivka.
From the field, the feeling is that it will be possible to effectively hold out in the city until mid-summer, assuming that the current trends will continue with consistency and without sudden breakthroughs or stabilizations.
Predictions for this city are especially hard to make and generally dynamic because of the initiative being in Russian hands as well as the configuration of the front and the big number of involved units from both sides, so unexpected courses of events are not only possible but likely to happen, which would alter the previous prediction.
In particular, regarding the contact line, the Ukrainians find the defense of Dovha Balka and the fields between it and Kostyantynivka crucial: if the Russians were to capture these territories, Ukrainian logistics would be finally completely channeled through a number of chokepoints created by artificial lakes and would also gain access to a convenient infiltration route up to northern Kostyantynivka through the forests on the shores of the lakes.
On the right side, holding Novodmytrivka and Molocharka will be of critical importance.
At the moment, it is more harmful to downplay the situation than to describe it accurately and truthfully.
The Ukrainians should definitely start to draw plans to ensure a slow, coordinated, and organized retreat from the city in the future, ideally maximizing Russian casualties in this period.
In particular, because of extreme and prolonged Russian pressure in and near the city, decisions are being taken regarding the relocation of certain services.
I will continue to follow the situation closely and report about further changes in the situation.

Kostyantynivka. The situation, unfortunately, continues to deteriorate day by day. The Russians infiltrate deeper; logistics are worse, and bombardments are heavier and more frequent. Russian forces are especially focused on the Illinivka and Novodmytrivka flanks: from the Illinivka side they attempt to reach western Kostyantynivka itself, and from the Novodmytrivka flank they try to infiltrate Novodmytrivka and the big residential zone of eastern Kostyantynivka, strangling as such the city. The southeastern side of the city, while decently stable, is also being subjected to great pressure. This worsening of the situation wasn't caused by any single catastrophic mistake but mostly by Russian pressure prolonged for months, if not years straight, which is now slowly starting to give its results.
