Ukrainians feel that way fight in the first stage of the Russian invasion.
In large cities such as Kyiv, Odessa or Kharkov, visited by Clarion lately, the mood hasn’t changed: no one believes that nothing is lost and it is celebrated that in the most dramatic stages of the siege, in which Kremlin troops advanced the most, the enemy finally had to recession and recession.
The prevailing idea was that the local Army showed signs of knowledge and courage and almost without fear of Russia’s supreme military, which is probably not so. Still in pain for exiles and deaths in occupied areas, on the streets of Ukraine they are teasing russia. This is not an understatement, but a collective approach build security and convince yourselfperhaps, for what is to come.
This week another great satellite image of the war went down in history. It shows three dozen Russian T-90 tankettes, piled up like scrap metal on the banks of a river.
It can be seen that some tried to cross and sink in the middle of the river, as the Ukrainian artillery first made blow up the pontoons and then one by one the machines were crushed. The exact location: Siverskyi Donets River, in the Lugansk region.
This is an example of the systematic way in which Russia continues to lose endowments. Whenever you try to advance one meter, awaiting a stooped resistance which resists and often bites and hides again.
“Bite Strategy”
This real picture is not a random metaphor. Talking of local experts “bite strategy”a monster that appears, attacks, hides, reappears, attacks and leaves its prey to drag.

In this way they explain second big partial success of Ukraine in this war. If the first is to expel the Russians to kyiv, the next is to secure Kharkov, the second largest city in Ukraine, which is as big and disproportionate as the capital.
The political center of Kharkov is a ruin, with neighbors already Clarion they visit and still sleep at subway stations today. But the place is safe. The Russians withdrew from the occupied villages and, according to the Government, there was no chance that they would fall. too many missiles as happened between March and early April.
The whole of Ukraine celebrates the photos of tanks stacked in the river. Memes are made on social networks and jokes are also returned when other news appears about Russia’s attempted political colonization of the occupied areas.
