SITREP 600 is 52 pages long and a full report.

What's Happening

The first SITREP was on March 12, 2022, when we was I and I decided to take the TikTok scripts and turn them into a report.

What's the big story? Ukrainian forces bravely hold as ammunition runs out and global institutions turn their backs.

What's the secondary story? A lot of evidence indicates that gray market Starlink terminals are freely available in Russia and not subject to blocking.

What's the bonus story? US Congressional military aid drama.
