The Institute for the Study of War released a Thursday report claiming that Ukraine's counteroffensive in Kherson and the Donbas is taking its toll on the Russian high command.

Ukrainian forces reportedly moved 31 miles to Russian defensive positions in Balakliya on Thursday, but Moscow forces failed to acknowledge any such advancement. According to ISW, the silence caused an eruption of Russian internet backlash against the military.

Putin and Erdogan are focused on manipulating some third world nations.

Globalist victories.

Let’s not kid ourselves. This success was the outcome of meticulous German staff work.

THIS STORY IS TOTALLY FALSE!
The greatest toll taken by the Ukrainian offensive is among the Putin lovers on Free Republic.
Confidence in them is falling much faster than for Russian generals.

Cutting off the Izyum salient.

You know, that which was supposed to cut off all the Ukrainians in the Donbas back in April.

German staffs barely exist anymore AFAIK. Most of the old Cold War brain trust has long since retired. The German military became a shadow of its former self in the long peace. One of the reasons Putin has been a blinking idiot. Nato was a dead letter until he revived it.

Probably the British.

Maybe they can "save face" by pivoting to serve one of Putin's allies in Iran, North Korea, China or Venezuela. It should make sense to them. ;)
