With both sides having OverWatch positions this is just going to be a a brutal mess however if fighting could be localized and kept within the confines of this dump maybe some positive things can come out of it by localizing damage.
It's going to be really hard to dislodge either Force due to what is going on however if it is a garbage dump I have a feeling that Russian forces should be encouraged to take this position and live within the garbage for a week and most likely you will watch them abandon this position for something that is quite a bit more favorable.
Not only does Russia have to send women to fight, you also have the battle of the garbage dump! I am sure that actually tactically there is a massive amount of garbage that could be stolen from Ukraine and sent back to Russia. Phenomenal idea they can steal as many of the non-working washing machines and toilets as possible. As well as all of the discarded electronics that more wealthy Ukrainian forces are able to access now that sanctions have done in the place.
Don't forget one man's trash is another man's treasure and apparently the garbage dump is the perfect place for Russian forces to take over and call home.
I've still been getting blowed up by some Russian Patsy account that is scared to go actually defend his motherland anywhere other than online from the safety of his basement.
However the entire community is starting to really keep focus. It's pretty amazing how quickly we all can move on.
Useless insults by one troll on our platform is actually pretty funny. The fact that nobody even cares is even funnier.
Anyway back on to my analysis here so basically we are going to watch a continued slugging match over a garbage pit. Ukrainian forces decided not to entrench themselves into a pile of garbage and are allowing Ukrainian positions to organically encompass this section of territory and for the violence artillery and killings to be concentrated right in this area actually is an amazingly smart idea. I can only imagine how much planning has gone into setting up each of these lines of defense behind each other with the idea that if needed forces can abandon positions and there is cover as well as evacuation. Defensively falling back and allowing the Russian military to bludgeon forward and take a garbage pit ironically is a really smooth move by the Ukrainian Commander. Reports of this area being the most brutal with the highest amount of Russian casualties coming from this area consistently. Also reports of human wave attacks by conscripts with absolutely no experience is coming out quite a bit. And somehow there is plenty of liquor for these individuals to get trashed before they begin these crazy assaults. Trying to dislodge entrenched enemy on the defensive that has plenty of time to prepare defenses is actually an extremely scary situation. Personally I would do everything I could to not be in that position.
Looking at the overview of the map pretty much the main move we are going to see next from the Ukrainian forces is a flank attack to the South. Completely bypass this garbage pit.
There isn't really much action happening on the Northern or Southern fronts at the moment and we are watching a sumo match happening in the central pocket.
93,390 Russian soldiers have perished in this war as reported by Ukrainian forces which actually is keeping very close counts and it looks like some of the most accurate counts here.
Pretty quiet for equipment losses and the northern and southern suspicious and quiet as Russians struggle to protect the troops and Ukrainian forces are gearing up and resupplying for possible further offenses.
And apparently in Russia a big huge shopping mall caught fire mysteriously in a incredibly tremendous fire and burning to the ground however the suddenness and the fact that it completely burned down to the ground pretty quickly and spectacularly really happens to smell like a psychological and very impactful strike to the heart of Russia without causing further loss of life.
And this guy definitely goes over the maps with the battle for Bakhmut. Although with Russian forces apparently looking like they are going all in and throwing a massive effort into one area, this is basically now exposing Russian soldiers equipment and forces to the meat grinder as we watch how quickly the Russian federation trades Russian lives for small pieces of Ukrainian territory.
Absolutely Russia can take this city however the cost that they are going to incur in getting there is just going to be too high. Every day we watch the news and watch the body count skyrocket the more that I'm sure this is getting reported to the Russian women and families back home.
In 10 years the United States quit over 58,000 casualties in Vietnam.

And here is the United States combat casualty list which is pretty incredible especially when we see the numbers for Iraq and Afghanistan.
The amount of casualties Russian soldiers have accumulated is going to reach a tipping point. And this is absolutely going to have further impacts.
Best Ukrainian war analyst and news come from Danny of the Ukrainian pilot and I'm glad I waited to post this so I could include his analysis on the situation in the center pocket.
And of course Urban fighting really isn't a very good on the Russian forces by we continue watching them fall apart at close combat as well as also having overhead cover to protect Ukrainian military forces from overhead views.
Even if Russia pushes forward and captures these small towns it is just going to be small tactical successes while long-term strategic defeats absolutely are coming. It is like watching the ocean beat itself apart upon an ocean jetty. And of course the mortal Russian soldiers are not surviving this tremendous pounding.
Rat holes to prevent overhead drone attacks are now a necessary evolution with only a few units even able to invest in the amount of time and effort you're going to have to take away from constant assaulting to build these.
Ratholes!
Definitely not a smart idea no matter what because standing water like this is absolutely extremely conductive to disease and poor health and in some major situations trench foot will be the first indication of that. That water is just going to continue sucking the life and reality from every single person around in this conflict
A little bit of grit and anywhere your clothing rubs starts to shave and open up your body to MRSA staph or other kinds of infections.
No matter which way you turn around this just shows you how nasty of a conflict really exist right here.
Staying dry in wet battlefield environment is nearly impossible.
With so much time effort and ingenuity invested enlisted position it is pretty hard to imagine the fact that this wasn't a video from 100 years ago and a prepared fighting position in France.
Ukrainian forces really have a massive advantage in this conflict especially with the fact that they are in on the defensive and have multiple lines of prepared fallback defenses set up and additional quick reaction forces available to support any front lines getting pressed by it Russian federation forces.
However we are looking at one of the greatest miracles ever in that a simple hole in the ground can be able to afford so much protection to a human being that is desperately outclassed and outgunned. Russian Porsches are having to just dig holes in the ground for survival and have no technological options to protect their troops.
I'm not exactly sure that this would be an underground tunnel complex system I'm thinking it is more of a well thought out foxhole that has some sticks and mud.
Primitive Technology
About eight inches to a foot worth of dirt is able to significantly slow projectiles shrapnel and other threat and one of the best ways to fortify a position. In fact packing that dirt will even support more defensive protection capability.
Ukrainian troops get trained by British forces in Britain. And incredibly we're watching some phenomenally motivated individuals.
