Talk:Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (1 August 2024 – present)

Reportedly Spotted?

edit

1st August

An anti-tank missile vehicle was "reportedly spotted" by a Ukrainian drone.

To be clear, might it not be better to mention that there are unconfirmed reports of the vehicle, or that it is claimed that the vehicle was spotted?

For is not the use of the two words in this fashion strange or conflicted? 2.27.2.80 (talk) 16:28, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Change timeline boundary?

edit

IMHO the timeline boundary between this section and the one before should be set at the beginning of the InKursksion. True it's still pretty recent, but it certainly has altered the conversation globally and is way more important than arbitrary dividing lines like the change of month... 2001:A62:144B:A02:BC1D:92B9:2D5:8E27 (talk) 16:40, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Why should we align with the start of the Kursk incursion? I don't agree that it's "altered the conversation globally", as the only thing its changed is there's some fighting in western Kursk Oblast; this isn't a major offensive, and it hasn't changed anything about the war as a whole when the meaningful battles are still taking place in eastern Ukraine; there's some much more impactful points in the war where other timelines could be split at, but aren't, so I don't see how Kursk should be an exception.

This war like all modern wars is very much also about perception. I do not claim to be able to make a military assessment – I have no military experience of any kind and the information about troop numbers etc. are too obscured by fog of war anyway.
However – if you look at media coverage, the shift has been dramatic. Before the incursion the "best" that was said about Ukraine was along the lines of "holding Russia back, inflicting heavy losses on Russia" but the consensus was more along the lines of "Russia's advance may be slow and costly – but ultimately, they're still advancing and Ukraine won't hold out indefinitely". Now the most pro-Russian things you hear are about Ukraine's "escalation" or "provocation" along with supposed "over extension". Meanwhile more pro-Ukrainian voices seem to be resurrecting the "dumb Russian" carricature from early in the war.
The military situation may or may not have changed. But perception very much has. 2001:A62:144B:A02:BC1D:92B9:2D5:8E27 (talk) 18:04, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Military Target

edit

Might it not be helpful to highlight the point that the Russian missile strike on Poltava (of 3 September) was not targeting civilians - but was aimed at taking out a military target?91.110.75.94 (talk) 20:18, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

8 Sep 2024: Vodyane

edit

"Russian forces captured the village of Vodiane near Vuhledar."

The Vodyane that Russian forces reportedly captured is the one is in Volnovakha Raion, not in Mariupol Raion as the article link suggests.

Correct town (In Ukrainian Wikipedia): Водяне (Волноваський район) Redbeansoup (talk) 23:19, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done. Just saw that it was the wrong Vodiane as you posted this comment. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 23:21, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

edit

Please change the first sentence, which currently reads: "The Ukrainian deputy head of the OSCE in Ukraine, Nataliia Kostenko, said that Russia captured about 2.5 meters of Ukrainian territory Russia loses one soldier" to "The Ukrainian deputy head of the OSCE in Ukraine, Nataliia Kostenko, said that for roughly every 2.5 meters of Ukrainian territory Russia captures, Russia loses one soldier."

For those who measure territory in square meters, both variants don't make sense. Remove? Dobrichev (talk) 15:00, 11 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

26 October: More Languages?

edit

The fact the only other language on this page is Estonian makes it harder for a large majority (Spanish, German, Chinese, Etc.) to read and acsess, if the lock comes away we should probably focus on that. Kyllstru 13:08, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Kyiv Independent

edit

The Kyiv Independent should not be a reliable source of information considering its biased nature of the conflict. If they are considered reliable then by that logic any news company in Russia should also be considered a reliable source. In regards to causality figures and such I should add. 2604:3D09:C27C:EE00:F896:C51E:7166:AD3D (talk) 00:02, 13 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

There is no reasonable consensus to designate it as such nor can WP:FALSEBALANCE be made to Russian media with its current environment with extremely limited exceptions. Borgenland (talk) 01:29, 13 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

The sentence about the new USV should also mention that the new USV was able to launch an UAV from its deck, which is a novelty, the first example of a USV carrier for UAVs that I've seen. Auvideo (talk) 18:17, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
