Operational Art ...

 ... in action. 404 desperately tries to move the so called reserves to Krasnoarmeisk (Pokrovsk)--they will be annihilated, of course. But the arrows become longer and longer and operational successes slowly turn into strategic ones. 

Recall what REAL General Staffs do--they plan, non-stop, 24/7 and I want to remind you again about "maneuver"--taking territory is a "necessary evil" in order to annihilate enemy forces. In D.C. they watched movie Patton too many times and forgot completely how REAL wars are won. 

Meanwhile Caroline Leavitt:

US President Donald Trump sees progress after the recent direct Russian-Ukrainian talks, but there is no question of setting "red lines" in Ukraine. This was announced on August 12 by White House press Secretary Caroline Leavitt. "I don't want to set red lines for the president (Trump) from this podium. — Ed.) and on his behalf. However, the president did call on Ukraine and Russia to discuss these humanitarian issues directly with each other, and we are already seeing progress," she said at a briefing.

A hint, superpowers do not abide by "red lines", especially such power as Russia.
