Over the past few days there have been a number of outcomes that have been basically the last expected thing. Prigozhin starts a coup, marches nearly unopposed to Moscow, then just... stops. The Russians blew the Kakhovka dam so the Dnipro would become even more impassible and they could withdraw their defences to redeploy elsewhere, and so the Ukrainians have crossed the Dnipro.

What's next? Even !NonCredibleDefense@lemmy.world (or !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works) haven't been able to keep up.

A some sort of nuclear catastrophe, perhaps? Wouldn't be the best news, of course...

These links don't seem to work for me. Are there Magazins called like that?

Why ask for magazines? Isn't feddit a Lemmy instance? On kbin you can just use the magazine search.

When I clicked on your links it send me to kbin.social. So I thought you wanted to link magazines.

But the new links work, thx

How did they do it?

Right?!?!? That’s what I’m wondering. I see a bridge in the map pic but I can’t imagine Moscow left a bridge standing that can be used to cross anything heavier than a small bird.

More important question is can they hold and solidify the beach head. Often one can make initial assault and landing, but then the beach head is on a thin supply line and at risk of counter attack.

Not to be negative nanny. I hope they can secure and push out from it. Just noting making the beach head is only first half of the problem.

Who knows in what condition the bridge is. Plus even it still being standing, Ukraine isn't the only one with cruise missiles to lob at bridges.
