Ooops, it was a one-off. Not indicative of overall strengths at all.
This is the kind of thing that happens when stretched everywhere.
As Picket explained to someone investigating the reasons for the Confederate loss at Gettysburg, you know the Yankees also had something to do with this.
I'm sure it's "Ukranian" with no ties to the corrupt officials in Washington...
This proxy war is the true crime of the century.
The recent money sent to this toilet was to pay for arms the US secretly sent without approval to the toilet
I hate when that happens; rotating the wrong way. Like when you try to zig when you’re trying to zag. Or Zel…
The NeoCons’ children brigade must go and fill the gap ASAP.
This is what Ukraine can’t fix. It doesn’t have enough troops.
So, the USA and Europe have sent money and material. Who wants to be first to waste their soldiers’ lives over this idiotic war?
Given what a disaster almost everything Ukraine has done has been, that's more proof of the propaganda these analysts have been putting out.
They are only criticizing the UA in this case because the troops willingly abandoned their posts and analysts want to cover up that fact.
Troop rotations become a bit complicated when 3000 POUND Glide Bombs are falling nearby. But then ‘they’re just Ukrainians’. Right Zeepers?
How many more such “rotation blunders” have to happen before they call it what it is.
Do they need a high school hockey coach to organize line changes for them?
The Russians have taken several other villages as well.
The Ukrainians are simply being pushed.
Pushed: https://newsmap.pl/2022-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-interactive-map/ It’s a one way road with Ukraine losing, losing, losing, little by little.
Long term, even our 61 billion won’t change the outcome SINCE it’s not money that is the real issue. It’s personnel shortages for Ukraine.
Ukraine will simply lose more land, have more dead, more debt (which they will never pay back of course), more destruction to their economy and infrastructure as this war rages on, ***with no prospect for them, of any sort of benefit, by this wars continuation.***
This war was caused by the West (NATO expansion) and it is perpetuated by the West. Mr Z is the only real puppet, if we want to use that term as some here did early on describing anyone that tried to explain what will happen. For us, ending this war now, is bad timing (US elections). National politics drive foreign affairs and security policy.
This war has destroyed Ukraine. Forget what you read about regards Ukraine losing more ground and suffering more dead (even though we try not to focus on that). Forget about the economic destruction of Ukraine, their currecny has become worthless, their GDP imploded by more than 37%, and national debt has skyrocketed.

The death for this nation is demographic: a mass exedus of people where Ukraine is left with 1/3 of its population displaced and most never to return. A birth rate so abysmally low that it is breaking records (somewhere around 1.44) and is unsustainable even for one generation (35 years). Dead and crippled (~ 455,000) + 1/3 the population fleeing + a birth rate implosion = demographic disaster. This country is cooked. Not just militarily and economically, but as a society, a culture.

We took Ukraine from riches to rags. To think that they had EU membership in their reach...
But... there are some folks that like this basic structural framework. They think things are heading in the right direction: https://www.facebook.com/RevolutionIreland/videos/senator-lindsey-graham-who-has-been-up-to-his-tits-in-ukraine-since-2016httpsrig/1218472818909921/ (to the last person/Ukrainian)
