Malcolm Nance is a former career US Naval Intelligence officer specializing in counter-terrorism, intelligence and violent extremism. He has been an advisor to the US government's law enforcement, Homeland Security and Intelligence agencies. As an Arabic-speaking special intelligence collections operator, field interrogator he provided top secret anti and counter-terrorism support to national intelligence agencies while on numerous reconnaissance and combat operations in the Balkans, Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa.

On April 18, 2022, Nance revealed that he had joined the Ukrainian Foreign Legion in March 2022. In an interview with Michael Harriot of The Guardian, Nance alluded to African-American military aviator Eugene Bullard's service in the French Foreign Legion to his service in Ukraine, hoping to inspire "African Americans and young Americans who have been in the military" and describing the International Legion as "the pantheon of the defense of democracy in the defense of Ukraine".

More large Russian armoured attacks being reported. Tactic seems to be using 'meat wave' attacks by small, light forces over several days/weeks to identify weaker points in the defensive line, and then follow up with a rapid armoured attack to try to punch a hole in the Ukrainian line.

Three armoured attacks reported in the last week featured 40+ vehicles and at least one had 60+. In a single attack near Kurakhov, Ukrainian forces claim to have destroyed 8 Russian tanks, 12 infantry vehicles and 10+ light/soft skinned vehicles.

A number of Russian mil blogger channels are talking about this being a "positional" offensive, as they're worried about the logistics situation leading into autumn. However, there's also more talk about a manpower shortage and possible "second wave" of mobilisation.

A couple of effects are being observed: more poorly trained conscript "assault" infantry showing up in combat zones; wounded troops being returned to the front before they've healed; assault grouping commanders scooping up rear area security and some specalists (communications, vehicle drivers, artillery crews) as replenishments for attack groups.
