Ukrainian forces were charging through an expanding area of previously Russian-held territory in the east on Friday after bursting through the frontline in a surprise breakthrough that could mark a major turning point in the war.
After keeping silent for a day, Moscow effectively acknowledged that a section of its frontline had crumbled southeast of Ukraine's second largest city Kharkiv.
"The very fact of a breach of our defences is already a substantial victory for the Ukrainian armed forces," the head of the Moscow-installed administration for occupied areas in Kharkiv province, Vitaly Ganchev, said on Russian state TV.

Would love to take that bet. Seriously Zelensky-lovin, New Liberal Order members, Biden-bots: Congratulations. This is a real military victory, but you will probably not get a single Russian POW out of this, nor will this victory be long lasting. We'll see in a couple weeks. We'll see in November as well. In my opinion, we (freedom-lovers) will win, you (Biden-bots and apparently Nazi sympathisers) will lose in the end. Remember, winning a battle != winning a war.
Laughable to pretend the Ukes are in any way comparable to Patton’s 3rd army... much less twice as good. And the 3rd Army faced the full combat power of the Wehrmacht and the Nazis were facing the most deadly industrial combined arms force ever assembled.
The Ukes are not facing anything but a small part of the Russian army, which is 10% of the size it was in the Fulda Gap days. So curb your enthusiasm and wipe the Uke slobber off your chin.
According to your previous observations, you said Ukraine was finished.
End of August will be do or die for ZelenskyyIdiot and Ukraine. Bet. 9 posted on 8/5/2022, 3:12:04 PM by cranked

Pin pricks(taking out the bridges) don’t win wars/conflicts and if this is ALL the Ukrainians have left against those dastardly Ruzzians, not looking good for Ukraine, at all, especially given that nearly every Ukrainian counter-offensive they have committed has resulted in disaster.....

Pattons columns faced fleeing dregs of shattered units and every species of German REMFs. He didnt hit serious resistance until they got to Lorraine.
In contrast, it seems that the Russians tried to set up numerous roadblocks in villages throughout the region, and the Ukrainian brigades had to fight or maneuver their way through most of the way.
Note that the Ukrainian mobile force here was just three brigades, or maybe just two. We aren’t talking of the whole Russian Army either, just the forces engaged.
And I advise you to speak realistically. Your team lost big here.
