Ukraine has been pounding them all week with 155mm base bleed shells and HIMARS. They have properly fucked off from Snake Island (and left a whole bunch of smoldering equipment).The Russians seem to get their sorry asses out of Snake Island. Russian MoD confirms this and cites 'good will' as a cause in doing so.
Yes, I definitely like their gestures of free will. The first one was when they pulled back from Kiev and the North; now it is Snake Island.Ukraine has been pounding them all week with 155mm base bleed shells and HIMARS.

I think the Ukrainian General Staff has decided to wait until later in the summer to mount the counteroffensive. Just my impression. The battle in the Donbas has been expensive in terms of experienced fighters, and while they are getting replacements, the experience level is not the same. Taking a little more time for training and allowing more NATO heavy weapons to arrive isn't a bad move.Can't wait to see another gesture about Kherson and the Dnieper right bank.
Yes, I understand this. I don't and can't hurry anyone. The Ukrainian army can't jump above its head. But the fingers are crossed, anyway.I think the Ukrainian General Staff has decided to wait until later in the summer to mount the counteroffensive. Just my impression.

What they have been concentrating on is the command HQ's and ammunition storage sites. They are having good effect at taking out the targets, but the UA is not really able to exploit the advantage. So they took out the HQ of the 20th CAA, but they did not remove the 20th CAA from the Russian ORBAT. That's kind of a missed opportunity for the UA.
About ten days ago 100 railcars of ammunition moved from Belarus to Russia. Today another 20 railcars are on the move. That's an indication of Russian ammunition reserves (shortages). The UA has been successfully destroying 1 or 2 ammo dumps every day. A big one in Luhansk exploded for several hours after it was struck.
Ammunition, C2, and technical trucks. They can't outnumber the Russian arty, but they can cripple it's logistics.
Look at the pictures of the 20th CAA base at that school. Notice all the SUV's and other civilian vehicles. 4 months into the war, the main HQ should not have any vehicles that are not mil-spec.
How much is a set of new car tires in Russia right now? I bet they are almost impossible to find.
Ukraine is about to lose the 350 000 dwellers Lisichansk-Severodonetsk agglomeration yet an island the size of less than a square kilometer being left by Russians is so important to you? The fact that it's abandoned doesn't mean it's going to be taken by Hohols. Even if it is, when their numbers and ammunition's worth is good enough to spend a Kalibr missile on them the fuckers will be wiped off it in no time. There's just no need for the Russians to waste the manpower and resources trying to defend it so far. Add to this the grain transfer bullshit and everyone's a winner. So don't get your hopes too high, losers. The Ukrs are dying out faster than The Sky News is letting you know.Yes, I definitely like their gestures of free will.

Yes, no worries, it is another win for Moscow. Move on.Ukraine is about to lose the 350 000 dwellers Lisichansk-Severodonetsk agglomeration yet an island the size of less than a square kilometer being left by Russians is so important to you?

The Ukrainians never militarized the island, there was no reason to. It was just an outpost.When the Ukrainian forces held Snake Island it was more symbolic then of any real military value.
Incorrect Poindexter. ...Kicking the Russians off denies them the strategic position from which to threaten the NW Black Sea and coastal areas
Oh, right, It was a gesture of goodwill.Incorrect Poindexter. ...
The Russians were never kicked off Snake Island.
They left by their own volition.
And yet they have lost their Flagship, a large Amphibious Landing Ship and another one out of commission. One newer missile corvette out of commission, and several smaller vessels sunk or out of commission. And they cannot venture within 100km of the Ukrainian coast, and a Russian flagged gas platform near Snake Island has been burning for ten days...The Russian navy has more than enough ships and submarines to control the Black Sea without utilizing tiny Snake Island.
You need to stop believing the nonsense the Ukrainian propaganda spin masters feed the gullible public and access some unbiased objective news sources in order to find out what's really happening in the Ukraine conflict. ...Oh, right, It was a gesture of goodwill.
Is that why they left all that equipment there?

They have the ability to control only where if it's uncontested...
But my comments were not about that- they were addressing the idea that Snake Island had no strategic value. To the Russians, that was obviously not the case. Just the air defenses alone were of strategic value because they could threaten Ukrainian air operations in the area.
Moskva was providing the air defenses for that area and the fleet, they tried to use the Island to replace that loss. They failed.
