kraine 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."

Except for the Ukrainian Partisans.
Here it is from The Telegraph.
Not feasible!
Finally a word of truth has been spoken.
So NATO is to blame if it fails? LOL
Excuses, excuses.
The Biden admin and it’s supporting neocon Deep State expects them to proceed to the slaughterhouse without hope for a reprieve.
It’s a domestic political imperative.
Whatever billions of dollars and weaponry that has been rained on Ukraine is never, ever ‘enough’.
“Auditing”? What’s that?
OK, we give up. Bye Ukraine.
Ukraine is probably going to sabotage that nuclear plant and blame Russia in an attempt to bring NATO into the war directly.
Watched a video the other day on a small battle where the Ukrainian side had to evacuate the building they were in because the Russians had zeroed in on their position and were about to vaporize it.
Everyone that talked on the body cam was AMERICAN.
The ones that get cripple and maimed, do they get medical benefits or are they on some kind of special secret military leave where if anything happens, it’s as if they were on active duty with combat pay?
Lots and lots of wasted young lives to prove what was obvious to everyone except the NATO sycophants.
Biden supplies the money and weapons.
Ukraine supplies the blood.
“Counter Offensive” and “Spring Initiatve” etc. are fundraising events.. like a Winter Clearance sale or Biden’s No Malarkey tour.
Then it all fails, miserably, and Russia still has nearly all the real estate it took, despite the USA alone flusing more than quadruple Russia’s entire annual military budget.
And not single media shill, Uke harpy or neocon scab can articulate a plan - of any kind.
I've still got my money down on Putin and his buddy Yevgeny Prigozhin. Not so sure about Gen. Surovikin's long term help.
We all have our money down on this game Slick.
Ukie and Russian troops ain’t got no money,they have blood.
It’s all they got.
Put your faith in Christ,
Take your money and stick it!
Translation:
The Prigozhin mutiny has raised the hopes of the GAE that Putin has been weakened and might be overthrown.
So Ukraine is going to get more weapons from NATO and they don’t have to pretend about this “counter-offensive” any more.
Steiner’s attack with stabilize the front.
