Russian OSINT channel Rybar on the difficulties of the "Second Phase" & the Battle for Popasnaya:
Difficulties of the second phase of a special military operation
Quite often we encounter ordinary people's misunderstanding of what is happening on the frontlines. In some ways this is the fault of television experts, who for eight years have been spreading hurrah-patriotism about "worthless Ukrainians”. In some ways it is the banal lack of understanding of the specifics of military operations in the region.
In the Kharkov and Lugansk oblasts, the relatively slow pace of advance of the Allied Forces [
Armed Forces of Russia + Donetsk/Lugansk People’s Militias – RWA] persists. In the south, in Donetsk and Zaporozhye oblasts, progress is almost imperceptible.
Therefore, some may have the mistaken impression that the second phase of the SSO declared by the Russian military command has stalled.
But this is not true. (1/3)
