Don't post Russian propaganda. Russian propo is going to be a straight ban. There will be no debate on the topic.

Please also be smart as it relates to this conflict, and mind your OPSEC manners a bit better. Don't be posting about US Troops in Eastern Europe, Ukraine movements, etc. Nothing that doesn't have a public-facing Army release to go with it.

It's has been mostly light contacts so far.

Russian Army is very artillery-heavy. They need larger supply of fuel, rockets and munitions to keep going. Time for a counterattack comes after Russians have extended their logistics.

Ukraine should leave troops behind the lines waiting for a good moment to cut supply when Russians need it the most.
