Russian lawmakers authorize Putin to use military force outside the country, Part II

The situation is very confused right now, but it looks like a general route like when the Kyiv front collapsed. Ukraine reports advances of 50+ kilometers per day, and that they have so many POWs that they don't know what to do with them. It's uncertain when the Russians stop running but liberation of a large chunk of the Luhansk oblast looks likely.

Further south in Donetsk oblast there's reports of the Donetsk airport once more being the site of combat, with Ukrainian forces presumed to be probing the front for weaknesses down to the Dnepr. Russian forces reportedly shelling along the line of contact.

Kherson oblast is likewise seeing shelling along the line of contact. No reports of advances or retreats.
