I have a lot questions for this article. 

Why Rus mobile signal so strong, when our mobile already cannot receive signal at Malaysia side of the check point.
Why Ukr still allow Rus mobile in Ukr territories when they already enemy,
Why frontline no power already still support mobile network. 
Why so many Rus army are allow to bring use mobile, are there many war time reporters? 
 
Rus begin retreat to avoid high causalities when they sense they are clearly out numbers or face logistic impossibility,.
while Ukr stay till loss rate hit 70%. 
So Ukr militant loss is 6-7 times to Rus forces.

President Vladimir Putin may gotten more than he bargained for when, on May 11, he rejected calls for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire & invited Ukraine to engage in direct talks in Istanbul later this week. In what may have been a surprise for Russian leader, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded by accepting invitation, saying he was ready to meet Putin in Turkey on May 15.

"This is not what Putin was expecting," Oleksandr Merezhko, a Ukrainian lawmaker and chair of the parliament's foreign affairs committee, told the Kyiv Independent. "This is an incredible move that turns tables completely — Putin thought, he would send a Russian delegation, create the illusion of negotiations," he adding: "But now, b'cos this move by Zelensky, he is faced with a dilemma which cannot be solved."

MOSCOW - Putin on May 15 sacked Russia’s chief of land forces, General Oleg Salyukov, Kremlin said, in the latest removal of a high-profile military establishment figure over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Gen Salyukov, 70, will become a deputy to former defence minister Sergei Shoigu, who was removed in 2024 and made Secretary of the Security Council. The move was announced in a Kremlin decree.

Less than a week ago, Gen Salyukov was running the grand Victory Day military parade in Red Square with current Defence Minister Andrey Belousov, marking 80th anniversary or on Nazi.
Kremlin has charged more than a dozen military defence Gen since 2024, many of whom were accused of siphoning money from projects for personal gain.
Mr Shoigu, a longtime Putin ally, was downgraded in 2024 after various top positions he hold in early 1990s. Putin denied he is arrests & sack in Russia.
Gen Salyukov had been in charge of Russia’s land forces since 2014, overseeing involvement in Syrian civil war & offensive on Ukraine. He was a deputy head of the general staff for four years before that.

Ukraine are due to hold 1st direct peace talks in Istanbul on May 15 and 16. But Putin is in great fear and very nervous and frighten. AFP

Here, Ukrainians are intensifying their offensive operations along the Russian border near Tyotkino. As Ukrainian forces pushed deeper into Kursk, the powerful HIMARS & strikes of Ukrainian Air Force played a critical role in turning tide & setting stage for further Ukrainian assaults, coming increasingly close to capturing another tactically valuable settlement. Ukrainian forces continued with their border incursion towards Tyotkino. Strategically, this open aims to divert Russian attention away from their summer campaign in Donbas & tied to Kursk region. Tactically, this is meant to stretch enemy defenses or to expose their vulnerabilities for Ukrainian counterattacks in Kursk. The Ukrainian attack at Novy Put, where they exploited a gap in the dragon's teeth fortifications, divided Russian attention. This allowed Ukrainians to increase the pressure elsewhere and continue pressuring the tactically significant settlement of Tyotkino, which would significantly improve Ukrainians’ positioning.

By controlling Tyotkino, Ukrainian forces  run over 15 km. Securing also allow the Ukrainian forces to use the residential houses to deploy & conceal lots of soldiers and heavy equipment in the area, making it difficult for the Russians to identify or target them. Additionally, Tyotkino is right next to the Ukrainian border and very distant from the main Russian logistics hub at Glushkovo, exposing the deployment of Russian reinforcements along open roads, undermining the Russians’ offensive and defensive capabilities.

To take the settlement, the Ukrainians intensified their HIMARS strikes to deny Russians the artillery support needed to overwhelm Ukrainian ground assaults. Geolocated footage from the area reveals how the Ukrainians detected a North Korean Juche multiple-launch-rocket-artillery system, and relayed the location to a nearby HIMARS battery. The North Korean system was subsequently destroyed with pinpoint accuracy, as the HIMARS projectile ignited the ammo and destroyed the system. On top of that, the Ukrainian Air Force conducted precision strikes to eliminate Russian forces' concentrations and fortifications in Tyotkino and clear the way for frontline assaults. The Ukrainian aircraft managed to conduct three successful strikes on Russian positions at Tyotkino train station, eliminating Russian forces with utmost precision, and exposing a weak point for direct Ukrainian attack towards it. Afterwards, the Ukrainians deployed FPV drones to scout the area for any concealed Russian armored vehicles hidden in abandoned buildings, leading to the destruction of multiple Russian T-72-B3 tanks, denying Russian infantry armored support for the defense.

The activity of Ukrainian MiG-29s in this area implies that the Ukrainians successfully suppressed Russian air defense systems during the early stages of their incursion, meaning that many more air strikes could be conducted in the future. With the success of HIMARS batteries and the Air Force doing massive damage to Russian combat capabilities, ground assault units were poised to make another breakthrough.
The Ukrainian assault groups advanced in the southwestern part of Tyotkino. They secured the fields to the southeast, entering the first streets in the town that would serve as a staging ground for further operations. Geolocated evidence also indicates that Ukrainians have cleared the mines on the road and were able to move armored vehicles past the anti-tank ditches & into the town.

Mapped: Frontline in Ukraine as Kyiv and Moscow set to begin first direct talks since 2022. (No such talk by Russia has already rejected Ukraine’s repeated offer, talk about peace have to wait maybe in year 2027) No such talk of a comprehensive, unconditional 30-day ceasefire which Mr Zelensky says would allow for proper peace negotiations to take place.

Russian and Ukrainian negotiators will sit face-to-face for the first round of direct peace talks between the warring countries since March 2022.

Where got hopes of a meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky with Putin and Donald Trump at the Istanbul talks, all are dashed when Putin/Kremlin revealed its list of delegates, confirming Russian president would not be joining. It is unclear whether Mr Zelensky - who is in Turkey for a meeting with president Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara - will join the talks. He previously said he was not prepared to talk to anyone but Putin.

On Wednesday, the US said it would send special envoy Steve Witkoff and secretary of state Marco Rubio to the negotiations, but Donald Trump has excused himself. The Ukrainian president had offered to meet Putin in person for first time since 2019, goading at Russian leader by questioning if he was brave enough to show up.

He"s a coward. Putin is refer as a person is perceived as lacking courage, especially in the face of a, even a non-dangerous, but difficulty, or a smaller opposition.
