Ukraine has fended off Russia's advances for more than 16 months, and it's now several weeks into its long-awaited counteroffensive. The pace is grinding in some sectors of the front, but Kyiv's top general says he doesn't want to hear complaints it's going too slow.
Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the commander-in-chief of Ukraine's Armed Forces, told the Washington Post that it "pisses" him off to hear commentary that his counteroffensive operations are moving slower than anticipated. Kyiv's military is currently undergoing several offensive maneuvers along the front lines in the eastern and southern regions and has made small — but, at times, costly — territorial gains in the process.
Liberating Russian-occupied land means clearing obstacles fortifications, including anti-tank ditches, "dragon's teeth" anti-vehicle barricades, minefields, and trench labyrinths and breaking through Moscow's layered defensive lines. Breaching these many obstacles are dangerous and painstaking operations, especially since Ukraine doesn't appear to have all the capabilities that other militaries executing this kind of mission would normally employ.
"This is not a show," Zaluzhnyi said in the recent interview with the Post, which was published on Friday. "It's not a show the whole world is watching and betting on or anything. Every day, every meter is given by blood."
To be successful with the assault and conduct the kind of operations some expect from Kyiv's forces, specifically a fast, hard-hitting offensive, Ukraine's "Iron General" says he needs more advanced weaponry from Kyiv's Western military partners. "Without being fully supplied, these plans are not feasible at all," Zaluzhnyi noted. "But they are being carried out. Yes, maybe not as fast as the participants in the show, the observers, would like, but that is their problem."

Sounds like Pedo Joe is going to have to send ours.
I posted this article to the front page a couple of hours ago.
We’ll keep sending ours until we have no more. Just what our enemies want.

We are at a classic fork in the road. Go all in WW III with a full commitment or pull out in a redux of Kabul. Ukraine can shoo out Zelensky and blame him then cut a deal with Putin—Maybe keep Odessa. War can be over in a week—Russia wins and keeps what it has now. Ukraine will discover —when the war stops there will be little money from the west to re-build.
Zelensky’s Zeeper’s are gonna be shocked when Ukraine actually has to face another 750k troops that will Blitzkrieg the entire country. The little gay NAZI Zelensky will probably go live in SF near NANZI Polsi.
I think Zelensky is more likely to exercise his “right of return”.

Thanks, I didn’t see it. However, it is a good thing readers can read the latest Ukie war developments, I find it imperative the public realizes they are being hoodwinked by the western MSM- at this time it still appears they are being led down the road to widespread war and destruction.
If the US doesn’t pull out of this war mongering, our further weakening or possible destruction is imminent….brought to you by a corrupted, senile old man sitting in the White House.
Trust me by the time we run out Russia(our enemy) will be long out of ammo.
