EXPOSED: Ukraine tanks strike in Kharkiv as Russia loses 2,000 troops in 24 hours | Battle Plans

Former intelligence officer Philip Ingram breaks down the massive tactical shift on the front lines in Ukraine. Following Russia’s sham elections, Vladimir Putin is pouring an extra £154 billion into his war effort - swallowing up 35 per cent of Moscow’s entire state budget. Despite the cash injection, Ukraine has delivered a masterclass in counter-offensive warfare. Operation Vivaldi in the Lyman sector has seen Kyiv’s forces liberate more than 175 square kilometres, inflict over 5,000 Russian casualties, and trap enemy troops against natural river barriers. From uncrewed amphibious supply robots and drone net launchers to heavy tank assaults protected by electronic jamming, Ukraine is rewriting the rules of modern land warfare. Meanwhile, Russian commanders are resorting to fake, AI-generated reports and outdated 2025 footage to hide catastrophic losses from the Kremlin. Watch as we expose the real battle plans and tactical manoeuvres reshaping the war.
