1 tank and 1 personnel carrier destroyed.
Was hoping for a total wipeout but the Russians retreated pretty fast.
The video was a lot of hype.

A lot of......"nonoperative" vehicles
Most of them look to me as simply broken down, out of fuel, and some clearly had a drunk driver.
A couple seems to be hit with something powerfull
^ I only saw a couple of tanks with the "anti-javelin" cage above the turret in that video. I have seen quite a few more damaged and destroyed with the cage fitted but I don't know their location within Ukraine. I presume they are genuine as I haven't seen this makeshift cage fitted before.
A dozen Russian tanks were abandoned in a field for some reason....
Ambush by mud and ........vodka ?

Not a dozen and not all tanks, but hey.
They found a note saying:
Мне было лень, и вместо этого я пошла в паб.
There are issues with clarity on both sides in this conflict. The fact remains that Russia (Putin) was concerned about the future of another country that shared a common border.
The concerns relate to Ukraines potential relationship with NATO, and these concerns have been addressed by both NATO and Ukraine. Russia was wrong to declare war against a sovereign nation to prove his point, and he is wrong to present new demands or excuses for continuing such a war. Both sides could withdraw fro the conflict now that the original problem has gone away.
It does not matter who was right or wrong, this conflict should cease immediately, and both sides agree to independent arbitration.
Putin seems to have a kind of illness that prevents him from rational behaviour. He needs help/reality check before things get further beyond control.
^I hear that both parties are positive about the negociations
The Times had an article that didn't quite follow the narrative. Some real military analysts are estimating Russia has lost about 5% of its military assets brought into the conflict.

"My name is Daniel, I am a colonel in the Russian army. We are not fighting against Ukraine, let alone fighting against civilians. We came on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation in order to free the people of Ukraine from the Nazis and those bandits who are in power."
Protests over suspected Russian plans to turn occupied Ukrainian province into breakaway state
Hundreds of demonstrators have flocked the streets of Russian-occupied Kherson to protest against suspected Russian plans to turn the southern Ukrainian oblast into a breakaway republic.
In recent days, at least one Kherson regional council official warned that occupation forces were laying the groundwork for the “Kherson People’s Republic.” If true, the move would mirror Moscow’s establishment of two breakaway states in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region. Ukraine considers those breakaway regions — the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic — to be Russian occupied.
Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of those two territories in the days leading up to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine as part of his pretext to launch an assault on the country.
“A referendum on the creation of the HPR (Kherson People’s Republic) is being prepared in Kherson region,” wrote Kherson region council member Sergey Khlan in a Facebook post on Saturday calling on fellow council members to boycott meetings with Russian occupation forces.
“Become a part of Ukrainian history as citizens, whose names will be remembered by next generations, not as dispensable traitors,” he added.
Demonstrators in Kherson on Sunday morning waved Ukrainian flags, chanted anti-Russian slogans and shouted expletives at Putin, videographer Artem Ivanov, who is on the ground in Kherson, told CNN. “Kherson is Ukrainian,” “Putin is a ” “Russian soldiers are fascists,” and “Russian soldiers go home” were some of the slogans chanted at the protest, according to Ivanov.
Protests over suspected Russian plans to turn occupied Ukrainian province into breakaway state
Now, a couple of things to clarify the above post.
There is reference in the post about "Ukrainians picking up humanitarian aid."
The rest of the 'Telegram' says ...
We came on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation in order to free the people of Ukraine from the Nazis and those bandits who are in power. To be clean and calm. Soon we will deliver humanitarian aid, the Head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov is already sending everything necessary here. :rofl:
It's a bit difficult for Ukrainians picking up humanitarian aid that hasn't been sent yet !
PLUS, why would the Chechen Republic, over 1,000 klms from Ukraine be sending aid?
Rostov-on-Don is 5 times closer.
You can't make this shit up. Oh, hang on ... of course you can.
Russian Nazis!

Some others, here on TD, have asked the same question, you are not alone. :)
NaGastan, the country once known as Ameristan, was renamed to NaGastan as, it was pointed out, by a TD member, that Ameristan was difficult to continue to be called Ameristan after their overnight disappearance from Afghanistan.
In addition, America, the continent, stretches from Northern Canada to the southern tip of Chile. Which is a little pompus of one country to adopt that name for itself, IMHO. Possibly the now fracturing, "Monroe Doctrine", was to blame.
Hence, the renaming to NaGastan, Na for North America, Ga for grumpy arsehole and stan for a name used by some, to describe a failing country.
:)
Who are you suggesting may be acceptable to both parties to arbitrate, and why would Russian want a repeat of the Minsk Agreement? The Minsk Agreement was arbitrated by three European countries 8 years ago, signed by the two republics and the Ukrainian leaders.
The text was agreed, the actions were agreed.
Unfortunately, two of the European countries, France and Germany, wiped their hands of it the day after. Both the two wayward European leaders even spoke/now speak of NATO and EU membership.
The Russian Government sent NATO, the European and NaGastan governments, proposals to remedy this problem along with others isues. The Europeans and NaGastan governments have replied with a polite fuck off.
Very bad decisions by European and NaGastan, they have missed one of the most important decisions that required actions 8 years ago.
C'est la vie.
Yes we all know that Russia can not be trusted and the Soi Dog Czar raised his leg on the Minsk agreement plenty of times.
There are still weapons near the border line that should have been withdrawn long ago. According to the Minsk Agreement, the OSCE and its observers actually have to check this. However, the separatists in particular repeatedly deny it access to certain areas or shot down the OSCE drones.
Lenin-Stalin-Soi Dog Czar = hold the sad world record of killings.
Russia :1st:
Europeans should have listened to the U.S. and send weapons to Ukraine 8 years ago.
