Great. Thank you for corroborating what I said, that Rybar is a pro-Kremlin / pro-Wagner mouthpiece. So, when they report Russia troops retreating, the situation is usually even worse than they acknowledge.
Ministry of Defense of Russia on Sunday reported about an attempted penetration of saboteurs into the territory of the Belgorod region in the Novaya | The Eastern Herald
“June 4 of this year. units covering the state border of the Western Military District and the Border Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation revealed an attempt by a sabotage and reconnaissance group of Ukrainian terrorists to cross the river near the Novaya Tavolzhanka settlement, Belgorod region. An artillery strike was made on the enemy. The enemy is dispersed and retreated,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement. A few hours earlier, the fact of the penetration of saboteurs into the territory of the region was recognized by the governor of the Belgorod region Vyacheslav Gladkov.
My whole Telegram feed is full of pro-Russian channels reporting Russian forces losing towns left and right in Ukraine and Russia, including Novodonets'ke, Berkhivka, and Novaya Tavolzhanka. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may be the single greatest strategic blunder in the history of human warfare.
Ukraine's summer offensive started. This isn't surprising. They will tire themselves out and then the Russians will start their summer offensive and kill whoever's left.
It will be a disaster for Ukraine but that won't stop the dumbest people alive from declaring victory for Ukraine...
$10,000 says you’re wrong (like every single thing you’ve posted so far).

That's what I found in direct contradiction of your claim "Vyacheslav Gladkov, reported the loss of Novaya Tavolzhanka."

Vyacheslav Gladkov, governor of Russia’s Belgorod region, said during a livestream on Russian social media network VKontakte that regional authorities “cannot enter” the village of Novaya Tavolzhanka.
“Today, we’re not yet able to enter. We know that around 100 people are there, according to the district head’s report, but the last two days’ shelling hasn’t allowed us to clarify that information. I hope that as soon as the situation changes, we’ll be able to return and persuade people to leave the area,” Gladkov said.

Dude, the west isn't going to let Ukraine lose to Russia, you really don't know that?
Russia will never rule Ukraine you haven't figured that out yet and yes that was the plan. Oust Mr Z and set up a government, that will never happen,
Russia is whipped and only a blind man would fail not to see it. Why is Russia still in Ukraine? By the time this is over it will cost Russia around 300,000 dead soldiers and bilions of $$$$$ worth of equipment. Look at what they have gained, what have they gained?
How damn dumb was this invasion, did they not know the west would step in?

"Everything is going to die here," said Sergiy as water from the breached Kakhovka dam poured downstream into the Ukrainian city of Kherson on Tuesday.Locals blamed Russia for blowing up the dam as water poured into the south...

The “best” part is that Russia has now cut off water to Crimea - one of their main justifications for invading Ukraine in the first place. Seems Russia is intent on inflicting as much pain as possible on the people they claim to be saving.
Interesting essay arguing why any negotiated settlement of the war must necessarily include NATO membership for Ukraine.
What the war has shown is that anything short of a full-NATO membership is in security terms, worthless. Ukraine actually had different types of security guarantee given to it a number of times since the dissolution of the USSR. According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1993, for instance, Ukraine agreed to give up Soviet nuclear weapons in its border. In exchange for this, Ukraine had its full territorial integrity, including Crimea, recognized by the USA, Russia and the UK. Of course this did nothing to stop both the Russian invasion of Crimea and Donbas in 2014 and what has come later.
If Ukraine is going to have enduring, long term security after the war, it will only be through full membership of NATO and the application of NATO’s Article 5. This fundamental difference between Ukraine and the Baltic states, for instance is what has kept Putin, for instance, from ever convincingly threatening other former members of the USSR such as Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Its also why immediately after February 24, Finland and Sweden did their historic pivots and decided to become NATO members.
They heavily bombed it for a couple of days after their offensive attempt began. War wise, it is for their benefit. Now the Russian minefields and first line of defense along the left bank of the Dnepr river are under water. The Russians are in emergency evacuating some 20-30K of civilians from Novaya (New) Kakhovka and other small towns overwhelmed with incoming water. If it were they to blow up the dam, they would have evacuated people in advance at no rush and much less cost for them.
As for Crimea, yes, the channel will be filled with much less water from now, and it was also the Ukrainian dream to bring as much headache to the Crimeans as possible. But the situation with water was improved since 2014 even without a channel, so it is not really critical now.
