The world wondered why the long-discussed Ukrainian Spring offensive didn’t arrive until Summer, and now we know why, as Ukrainian President Zelensky says he simply didn’t have the men or the equipment to launch it any earlier.
The Ukrainian counteroffensive didn’t start when expected because “frankly, we didn’t have enough munitions, armaments, not enough brigades properly trained in these weapons” to do so, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the Aspen Security Forum on Friday.
This delay gave Russian forces more time to dig in, he said, which further slowed progress once things actually started. He said it “provided Russia with time to mine all of our land and provide several lines of defence. They had more than they needed, so they built more of those lines and really they have a lot of mines in our fields. Because of this we had a slower rate of our counteroffensive actions.”

Seems like they still hold most of their territory. The bloody stalemate goes on.
Well, maybe he should have taken advantage of some of those wise and powerful women like Admiral Lisa Franchetti... He could have won that war in a snap... /s
And, by the way, wasn't it extremely sexiest for him (OOPS! I mean they, them or that..[?]) to use the word "MEN".?
Time to come to the tabel, but bloody Brandon won’t allow it.
Uncle Sugar needs to cut Junior’s allowance.
I’m going to get an Rx from my PCP, in 2 weeks.
He’s speaking in the past tense. Very telling.
If I were a Uke soldier on the front lines, I’d be looking for a way out.
Another opening, another show,
This one in Aspen where fine folks go.....
This could have ended a few weeks after it started but Biden blocked any negotiated settlements and there has been zero diplomacy since the start of the conflict which has never happened in my life time.
Why
Well, for one thing, Biden engineered this war and was blaming the economic melt down and inflation he created on the “Putin price hike” before the Russians even had a chance to top up the fuel in their tanks after they crossed the Ukrainian border.
Looks like Biden screwed the pooch on his wag the dog Ukrainian proxy war.
Agree on that, but Putin was foolish to try and invade ALL of Ukraine. If he had just taken Donbsd, np one would have cared.
Sounds like it.
It appears NATO training and equipment isn’t as claimed.

AND your sons, too. Equipment AND men, Zzzzzz says!
His defense minister, Reznikov, best case scenario (Uke F-16s) is victory NEXT summer.
He funded Zelensky, Azov and the extreme Chabad sect..... He now lives in Israel.
..while his wife was in Paris, spending $50,000 in a shopping spree…
Polish media has begun criticizing Zelensky.
According to the Polish publication “Mysl Polska,” Zelensky has shown a complete lack of understanding in politics and is acting solely on the instructions of the West. The article suggests that he merely plays the formal role of Ukraine’s president, with most decisions being made either in Washington or the Buckingham Palace.
Another mistake pointed out is Zelensky’s appearance. The military uniform he wears during media appearances and meetings with Western representatives is seen as inappropriate for the status of a Ukrainian leader, especially considering he has no military background or rank.
The article also criticizes Zelensky for not accepting peaceful Russian conditions for conflict resolution and for criticizing other world leaders and then demanding their loyalty.
Zelensky’s actions have allegedly led to a loss of support from the Ukrainian people. Additionally, he is accused of having no understanding of how to rebuild his own country, indicating another mistake in his approach to governance.
Lastly, the newspaper argues that Zelensky’s trust in the USA, despite alleged exploitation of Ukraine by Washington, is a significant error in judgment.
Zelensky may soon outlive his usefulness.
stick a rifle in Zelensky’s hands and send him to the front line.
