Greetings, comrades, and welcome to the eastern border. Now, in this episode, the hardest part was

figuring out not what I should tell you, but what I can tell you.

You see, the Herzl offensive, which is one of the two important events that I'll be talking about here,

there is a quest by Zedensky to keep some information out of the public eye and besides

some strikes and besides what's going on that means that uh until some events have happened i hope

that they would happen last night they didn't but um well, um, well, I can't just reveal everything to you

that I know. But I'll try my best. Just, um, don't get, don't get too excited. And, um, well,

I'll start with that. And then we'll move on to the depth of Gorbachev, because I have a few

things to say about that one, too. and then about a personal experience that literally happened to me last night.

At any rate, for starters, Rostovic, who has been recently promoted to colonel, well obviously

he also doesn't comment on the specifics or the geography of the Ukrainian

advance in Herson, but there's a small counteroffensive, and this isn't a huge one right

now.

There's a counterattack that's been somewhat successful, but it's not that massive.

And it broke through the first line of Russian defenses in several locations.

And currently, they're trying to process deeper into Russian-occupied territory. During the night,

they had some safebacks. They had recaptured four villages, and apparently, according to Girkin,

but in this specific occasion, I don't trust Girkin's opinion.

Well, he basically states that it all faltered, which I know for sure is not true.

So, Girkin, I think he's a bit panicky and at a loss here.
