I think something will happen in the next 2 weeks, there are a lot of interesting things happening these days. Maybe it's just me but something smells really funny.
Two particularly impressive Ukrainian operations I found videos of lately.
A very nicely done FPV ambush against a group of Russian soldiers:

...and an attack against a Russian fuel train – allegedly with long range drones – timed just right to destroy it in the middle of the central train station in Salsk, Russia:

Obviously, taking out the train station as well is a great use of all that fuel; 380km from the front line.
Discussion
If Trump actually follows through, that'll be interesting.
I think Trump is irrelevant in this particular case but he can obviously help in a big way. Ukraine is hiding A LOT of stuff right now for almost a year or so. Plus quite a few bridges that aren't anywhere and other things that aren't "kosher". It was announced that there will be bad weather for today and tomorrow (I didn't check), and this is a good moment to move troops and equipment. So we might have something even sooner. 🤷
Yes, I have seen _that_ speculation. Obviously, since Ukraine is hiding things I have no way of knowing what might be coming. Hopefully something good.
Morning news:
"The towed Bohdana BG 155 mm howitzers began arriving en masse to the frontline units"
While it's only an example, it is what I was talking about. I know what the Russians are saying but that wasn't what I was referring to. Most likely, they are preparing their citizens for the news mixed with a bit of a psy op.
The Ukrainians have set aside a lot of stuff. Remember 400 something IFVs from Italy? They're nowhere. Only IFVs are over 2000 "missing".
Just a hunch, but I'm looking at the northern part of the Azov Sea. A secondary target, more as a distraction, might be Crimea, possibly through 2 sides. But they have quite a few places where they can go so it's pure speculation.
Given how quickly Ukraine was able to take territory in Kursk, it wouldn't be surprisingly if they were able repeat something like that again with a stockpile of saved up equipment.
There's also evidence that Ukraine is scaling up their own Ukrainian produced ballistic missiles. A new push might also involve a bunch of Russian targets getting unexpectedly taken out.
