‘VERY TOUGH BATTLES’: Ukrainian forces, armed with German Leopard tanks and American Bradley Fighting Vehicles, have launched attacks against deeply entrenched Russian defenses at several points along the 600-mile front lines, but as of this morning, there are no confirmed reports of the breakthrough that Ukraine is hoping will eventually cut the “land bridge” that Russia controls in the east and west.
The Russians are putting up “stiff resistance,” and Ukrainian forces have sustained casualties, a U.S. official told CNN. “The Ukrainians should speak to the military operations. I won't do that from here,” said President Joe Biden at a joint news conference with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. “We've done everything we could collectively, individually in the United States to make them ready,” Biden said. “We're very optimistic.”
“The counteroffensive won’t likely unfold as a single grand operation. It will likely consist of many undertakings at numerous locations of varying size and intensity over many weeks,” the institute advises. “The initial counteroffensive operations may be the most difficult and slowest, as they involve penetrating prepared defensive positions. Initial setbacks are to be expected. This phase may also see the highest Ukrainian losses.
“Just like the GAO and DoD IG report Gen. Dickinson confirmed Huntsville is the preferred location of Space Command headquarters,” Tuberville said. “Enough is enough, it’s time to bring @US_SpaceCom home to Huntsville.” “Abortion has nothing to do with military readiness,” tweeted Tuberville. “Huntsville was selected on the basis of 21 different criteria. It wasn’t even close. Colorado didn’t make the top 3.”
