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

Reportedly Spotted?

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)

Change timeline boundary?

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)

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)

Military Target

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)

8 Sep 2024: Vodyane

"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)

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

Cool thanks. Redbeansoup (talk) 05:04, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

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

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)
