Ricofoley Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I really have no idea what to make of the apparent lack of fear of nuclear war within a bunch of the media, up to and including Richard Engel, an actual embedded war reporter. Or are they just fundamentally unable to cover any world event without filtering it through a "dems in disarray" narrative? It's one of the most bizarre things I've seen in a while.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 ISW analysis for 12 March 2022: Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 12 | Institute for the Study of War WWW.UNDERSTANDINGWAR.ORG Russian forces secured limited advances east of Kyiv and north from Crimea on March 12 but continue to face logistical challenges, mounting casualties, and sustained Ukrainian counterattacks. Russian forces did not conduct offensive operations northwest Quote Russian forces secured limited advances east of Kyiv and north from Crimea on March 12 but continue to face logistical challenges, mounting casualties, and sustained Ukrainian counterattacks. Russian forces did not conduct offensive operations northwest of Kyiv in the past 24 hours. Russian forces made limited advances around Chernihiv and toward Kyiv’s eastern outskirts after pausing for several days. Continued Ukrainian counterattacks and successful operations by Ukraine’s Territorial Defense Forces continue to threaten Russia’s long line of communication in northeastern Ukraine. Russian forces captured unspecified “eastern outskirts” of Mariupol on March 12 and continue to shell the city in a likely effort to force it to capitulate. Key Takeaways Russian forces did not conduct offensive operations northwest of Kyiv for the second day in a row. Russian forces resumed limited attacks toward northeastern Kyiv and renewed efforts to fully encircle Chernihiv. Ongoing Ukrainian counterattacks in northeastern Ukraine are likely forcing Russia to redeploy forces away from offensive operations toward Kyiv to consolidate its long line of communication. Russian forces made limited territorial gains in eastern Mariupol and continued to shell the city. The Ukrainian General Staff reported Russian forces conducted a new advance northeast from Kherson along the western bank of the Dnipro. The Ukrainian military claimed to have damaged or destroyed 31 Russian battalion tactical groups (BTGs) as of March 11. The Kremlin likely seeks to deter continuing Western military aid shipments to Ukraine, threatening that Russia will view Western military aid shipments to Ukraine as legitimate military targets on March 12.
