"Calm before the storm" regarding the widely advertised southern counteroffensive. Author also talks about information warfare.

The last time Ukrainian sources were hyping a counteroffensive into a certain area (Kherson oblast) so much, the main blow appeared elsewhere (Kharkiv oblast).

However, the current counteroffensive talk is regarding Zaporizhia oblast, which seems to be the most valuable target as its capture would isolate Russian controlled Crimea much more, priming it for being recaptured.

1. "Prigozhin published a video threatening to tell the "ammunition situation" on the frontlines it Wagner PMC doesn't get the ammunition they need until the end of the parade in Moscow. "

I don't think he got his ammo.

2. "Prigozhin blames the General Staff for not giving enough ammunition to Wagner PMC."

3. "I think this might be the top-news for today. While Putin was speaking about "Russian greatness" in Moscow, Russian troops were fleeing in Bakhmut. Prigozhin said the 72nd brigade and Gazprom "Torch" PMC abandoned their positions after 500 Wagner members died to get them - the true face of "Russian might"."
