Part of them anyway (~10,000). Rest are troops moved down from Belarus border, up from Odessa and territorial defense units from all over.  

Do you happen to know where the 3rd army is yet?

There are reports from Belgorod to Kherson but nothing concrete. It doesn't make sense to me to throw these volunteers into offensive action as so many expect. Believe they will take over defensive positions freeing up regulars to go on the offense.

In the DPR, the settlements of Novopol and Vremyevka, bordering the Zaporozhye region, were liberated

if I am russian command, then there is no need to devote reserves to the front just yet current forces appear to be holding well enough.

You need Ukraine to commit all it has before you commit all your reserves otherwise you leave yourself no wiggleroom.

So far Ukraine has gained little ground with all their efforts, so I don't see the need to raise alarm bells just yet but that could surely change

Russia must be waiting for the winter and analyze the situation. In military terms, it has complied with what was proposed, taking Eastern Europe and dislodging the nationalists. In political terms, still nothing. The murderous Zionist regime of Zielensky is still in power and I see no weakness.
The only way is a full-scale invasion, with the best of Russia. That would be possible in winter with Russian thermal weapons detecting all sources of heat. The Ucros would have no way of hiding like they do now. A total victory would have a tremendous effect on the West. It would be like Stalin's operation Uranus
In addition, Western Europe is going to be in a situation of enormous weakness due to energy and a lot of social unrest. It is the best time to attack.

FFS what took so long

Yeah. time for a good pounding. Tho i believe they'll use Kh-101 or 55 tho as Ukrainian Buks and S-300 are still around.

So we have "news" Russian start buying shells from North Korea. and for some reason people forget "news" about Iranian drones, Russian running out of missiles, Russian need Iranian SAM's. Saw that story quickly quoted WITHOUT even slight criticism by news outlet and those twitter accounts with Blue checkmarks on them.

Good God the amount of hypocrissy is staggering. and they're same account that quickly points out "Russian propaganda".

Ukraine starts another counterattack?

Possibly. But Zoka is Strelkov light.

Western weapon = sophisticated. Doesn´t matter if the design is 60 years old.

Apparently an LPR squad got massacred in Balakleya because of lack of support. One of the best Z twitter accounts is dooming because of it, asking for mobilization.

Is it really possible that the Russian command knew there was an impending attack on Balakleya, but did nothing, as ghost of zeepo is claiming?

There are, obviously, illogical things in the thinking of military and political structures.
First of all, i don't understand why Ukrainian SBU and GUR are still not declared terrorist organizations.
Their operatives and people that they hire should be treated as such.

Second thing is that the leadership is trying to behave like everything is normal. For example, tank biathlon was completely
unneeded and it was just a PR bullshit. More regular Russian soldiers are needed on the front, instead of LDPR reservists.
Parts of the front which Ukrainians always attack first are manned by republics reservists. Happened first in Kherson and then now in
Balakleya. Also, defensive lines are understaffed with infantry. That is still a problem.

I don't even want to mention still standing bridges and other operating infrastructure that is used by Ukrainian military, throughout the country.

Russia buys millions of rockets and artillery shells from North Korea

Russia is purchasing millions of rockets and artillery shells from North Korea to re-energise its offensive in Ukraine, according to recently declassified US intelligence, as western sanctions begin to choke Moscow’s supply of weapons.

The Russian ministry of defence was “in the process of purchasing millions of rockets and artillery shells from North Korea for use on the battlefield in Ukraine”, a US official said, citing intelligence recently cleared for public dissemination.

“This purchase indicates that the Russian military continues to suffer from severe supply shortages in Ukraine, due in part to export controls and sanctions,” the official added.

Moscow’s military dealings with North Korea come after recent disclosures that it is also relying on another pariah nation, Iran, to support its war in Ukraine. Russia received its first shipment of Iranian combat drones last week and was likely to receive more, US officials said.

Iran and North Korea are widely seen as relatively unreliable providers of military equipment. US officials said some of the drones purchased by Russia from Iran had experienced mechanical failures.

Those officials pointed to Russia’s decision to purchase weapons from the two countries as evidence that export controls and sanctions were significantly hindering Moscow’s ability to meet its weapons supply needs.
