‼️ Yuri Podolyaka has been, in my estimation, one of the better correspondents of this war. His reports have been consistently restrained, mostly lacking hyperbole. That puts in proper context his shocking report of today's battle:

With Ukraine throwing more forces in to attack around both Orikhiv and Kam’yanske, it’s long past time to admit that they did not have a plan more sophisticated than hammering on the front of Russia’s extensive defenses in the south. This really was the master plan. If I (among others) was able to figure this out, imagine how much Gerasimov knew. It seems Ukraine believed its own nonsense about the Kharkov and Kherson counteroffensives and thought they could replicate that story here.

What we're seeing in Zaporozhye is Zelensky believing all the lies his own and US, UK propaganda spread about the Russian army. Expected drunk Russians with low morale to run away the second they saw NATO armor. Now that it didn't work Ukraine keeps doing what already failed. Turns out Russia has enough ammunition and weapons. In fact in just 1 week of the counteroffensive Russian helicopters destroyed close to 50 targets. The figure prior? Around 100 vehicles in 470 days. Minefields have been rock solid for Russia. Barely allowing Ukrainians to move and leading them into Russian artillery fire when they're able to find spots that weren't mined. Big equipment losses with nothing to show for it considering the goal set of getting to Crimea.

If America ever gets involved in any war that isn't theirs. It will last between 3 to 20yrs. They will ensure they sell off all their weapons from their warehouse and use that opportunity to test-run new weapons they're building. Ukraine should be very weary of America. 3 Likes |

It's so disheartening to hear that pentagon and Cia are aware that Ukraine can not win this war against Russia despite the combine effort of NATO and EU yet continue to push Ukrainians to die in huge numbers and her cities destroyed just because they want to stress Russia economically USA has their fingers stained with BLOOD! |

The counteroffensive is over, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have suffered enormous losses , writes the Wall Street Journal. Two weeks after the start of the counter-offensive, Ukraine suspended the counter-offensive due to "huge losses." Ukrainian forces have largely halted their advance while commanders take stock of the past two weeks and analyze ways to break through Russian lines without massive casualties. Journalists write that Russian aviation was able to strike at Ukrainian armored columns with Western models of equipment and stop several attacks.

Livelystone01: We are NOT supporting the West per se We are only against Russia bullying Ukraine. The war is totally uncalled for. Ukraine did not do anything to get invaded. We are only sympathetic towards Ukraine which is the stance of every reasonable person. |
