I haven't shared the situation with my mother for months, and if you're new, she's in California, 93, and has been in and out of the hospital since late May, and June was wretched with my daughter, son, and mother in the hospital in three different states at the same time for different reasons. I had a pre-planned business trip to San Francisco next week, and mom has taken a turn for the worse. To the point that Dr. Mrs. Malcontent is joining me. At the most, bullet reports are on Monday and Tuesday. Thank you for your understanding.
What's the big story? Ukrainian forces are advancing east of Andriivka toward the T-513 Highway, and there are signs the Ukrainian operational pause in Zaporizhzhia is coming to an end.
What's the second story? Russia is holding show trials in Rostov-on-Don with 24 Ukrainian POWs, and their physical condition is beyond shocking. Why has the Red Cross abdicated its job?
Bonus story: Russia blew up two ammo depots full of unusable Cold War-era munitions and even Russian propagandists are asking, "Why?"
