Ukraine War Update: хоп, лягушки! хоп!


Video from the Kiev-1 Battalion during the mop up.  Note the difference in how the soldiers move and cover compared to a year ago.

Except for the artillery, the fighting seems to have died back.  

However, at the Donetsk Airport, the artillery clash is definitely nontrivial.  There have been over 350 explosions, either from incoming or outgoing fire, at the airport over a 24 hour period. 

However, that's not the most concerning bit.  The OSCE noted the use of IEDs in the conflict now.  Yup.  The conflict might have taken an ugly turn.

However, the assault on Maryinka still doesn't make sense.
