Russian invasion of Ukraine

IS A RUSSIAN BRIGADE SURROUNDED?

There’s a lot of rumour based on Russian reporting and very little from Ukrainian sources. Russians are freaking out at what they claim is Ukrainian advances well up to half way in Verbove and another pincer arm moving from the north around Novofeodrivka which is NE of Verbove. Inside that closing encirclement is said to be a heavily depleted and exhausted VDV brigade on its last legs.
Operational security on the Ukrainian side is nailed down, but the panic from the Russian side suggests there’s actually something to it.
If - and I stress IF - this is true it’s a very big deal and could see the Ukrainians stretch the salient eastward dramatically - making more defensible.
Ironically the Russian troops potentially under threat of being taken into a pocket, are the ones who were sent to counter attack the eastern side of the salient and had made a few small gains before running out of steam.
There’s rarely smoke without fire in these reports but we have to wait and see. If the Russians break here and fall back exhausted it’s a disaster for the whole of that sector of the front.
Fingers crossed!
