Ukraine has telegraphed its big counteroffensive for months. So where is it?
Nice own goal.
So... the Mighty Russian War machine is still unable to defeat small Ukraine.

The Ukraine is small? It has more men under arms fighting than do the Russians and its allies combined.

I mean, Ukraine is committing its entire force vs. a Russia that hasn't declared war to enable the full mobilization of its army.

Ukraine, meanwhile, needs billions and billions of foreign dollars and arms just to stay afloat and not have its government collapse in on itself, so let's cool it with the "glorious Ukraine standing strong" crapola.

Depending on which estimates you went with, Ukraine had at least the third largest army in Europe (including Russia) as of late 2021.

Based on the available estimates, the initial forces committed by the Russians to their “special military operation” were also likewise outnumbered by the Ukrainians.

All jokes of Ukraine’s government being a corrupt playground for American Democrats and other globalists aside, its military (after 8 years of American/British/NATO training and armaments) was, at the very least, a conventional peer with Russia at the start of the war.
