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.

And frightfully efficient against the Russian troops. Imagine being a poorly trained conscript with a rifle when your position takes continuous .50 caliber machine gun fire and two anti-tank rockets in less than 10 minutes. And that is immediately followed by close quarters combat with many experienced enemy fighters.

You shouldn’t be so hard on the Internet.
I liked how you got schooled here about Ukrainian Nazis.
Not an argument just the facts - you support Russian genocidal maniacs while decrying anyone opposed to them as Nazis. Very very weak stance .. downright wobbly - pun intended.
Let me guess. The talking points are printed out each morning and handed out with the morning tea and pastries.
Genocide is relative when used as an argument concerning Russians especially when we talking about what the Ukrainian’s had been doing prior to Russia’s intervention.
Just as they are for you and your neo-Nazi supporting crew of propagandists, yeah?
Thats from Zelensky’s statement, and he low-balled it. At the time he said it some Ukrainian units were already on the Oskol, another @15-20 miles on.
Rommels 7th Panzer managed about 160 miles from May 12-May 24 1940 (Hitlers halt order). Or near Dinant to east of Boulogne. That gives me about 13 miles/day.
You have to be kidding. The Ukrainians are not fit to shine the shoes of a Patton or his WWII army.
The claims were that Russia was only using its worst troops and oldest and outdated equipment, is that stage over yet?
Have the Russians started using their best troops and equipment yet, or are they still saving them for when they need them?
Where does Russia keep the best of their forces and the best of their war equipment as they await word to move to the front?
I’m very interested in Poland’s massive military build-up and modernization, and I look forward to when discussions get started on that.
Ahhhh... That’s how they got Admiral Ackbar.
The Ukrain army will be surrounding Moscow by winter.
“If I lived my life based upon what the Internet tells me, I’d just be a mass consumption idiot like you, bruh.”
Looks like you idiot mass consumed something stupid on the internet to say:
“Just after the failed ZelenskyyIdiot Nazi Regime PR ‘offensives’?

So what idiot consumed internet propaganda to spew this?:
“I will continue to sit back and watch as Ukraine daily crumbles as the Russians take their sweet ole time grinding up the Ukrainian military. Do or die is fast approaching for the ZelenskyyIdiot government and Ukraine.

Personal observation, no internet propaganda required.
This war/conflict far from over unlike the past week or so Ukrainian offensives.......
The do or die is a direct reference to when ZelenskyIdiot is either given the .75 bullet option or is simply removed from office via a military coup, etc. Time will tell.
Pattons Third Army went @400 miles in @45 days, during its dash across France, Aug 1-Sept 15 1944. Or about 9 miles a day.
Rommels 7th Panzer, its own dash during the Battle of France’s “sichelshnitt”, that made Rommels reputation, made about 160 miles in 12 days, 12 May - 24 May 1940, or about 13 miles/day.
The Ukrainians just did about 45-50 miles in three days (and thats conservative), or 15.5 miles/day.
Holding 30,000 Russian POWs would suffice I think.
“The likely end goal of this is Ukraine in NATO with a large, experienced, and motivated army armed with Western tech.”
De Facto, they are there now.
LOL. Moron. Best money we have spent on military in decades. For the equivalent of small change to US military Ukraine has ruined the Russian military, and demonstrated to others that our tactics and weapons will quickly kick their as. And twats like you just whine.
