I see Putin is back to attacking apartment buildings to fabricate CBs

Strange there hasn't been any more news about the Belgorad raid.

Strange there hasn't been any more news about the Belgorad raid.

It's been over for a week.  I don't know what else there is to report.

[Josquius]

I've seen videos and talk on social media of further minor incursions and attacks on the border but the media doesn't seem to have anything to say about them.

[Solmyr]

The takeaway from the Belgorod raid is that a) Russian border security is shit, and b) the Russian state is unable to protect its citizens. I'm sure that this will be of interest at least to the Chinese.

Seems there's heavy fighting in Belgorod between People's Republic of Belgravia separatists and regime forces...

I know I am repeating myself, but turning the "local separatists get the self-propelled artillery out of the shed to fight for freedom" shtick against Russia is just priceless and I am enjoying it immensely.

Yes watching the Ukrainians pulling a reverse-Donbas, feeding the vatniks their own cooking is pretty funny.

Russian forces tried to blow up my men, says mercenary boss Prigozhin

All is going well in Putin's master plan.

Russians really are the worst people.

Now Ukrainian commenters are calling the Free Russia raid a "special military operation"

[Legbiter]

Yeah heavy fighting in Belgorod today. Either the vatniks cede a lot of ground there or they rush in reinforcements needed to man the line in Ukraine...

[Jacob]

Almost like the previous action was probing the Russian position and getting an understanding of Russian organization and response time.

Seen this a few times today - Ukraine's military asking for silence in the information space:

I imagine they'll get cooperation - but hopefully this'll be a very quiet thread for a bit, until it's a very busy one.
