Ukraine takes back dozens of towns in ‘annexed’ regions; Putin is ‘out of moves,’ ex-CIA chief says

Ukrainian forces have counted more gains on the battlefield, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hailing more “good news from the front lines” in his nightly address Tuesday.

Rapid and significant gains have been counted in Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the south in particular, with advances in the Kherson region. Now, dozens of settlements have been liberated this week across four regions that Russia “annexed” last week, Zelenskyy said.

Moscow’s hold on “annexed” territories (Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk and Donetsk) looks increasingly tenuous, with none of the regions fully occupied by Russian forces, and as Ukraine’s counteroffensives in the east and south maintain their momentum.

The U.S. has committed even more firepower to Ukraine’s fight. The Biden administration announced another $625 million in military aid to Kyiv Tuesday. In a call with Zelenskyy, President Joe Biden said the U.S. would never recognize the illegal annexation attempts.

Never call a guy sitting on a nuclear arsenal, some of which just might work, “out of moves”.

Indeed.

And the ‘partial mobilization’ will now might become a full blown mobilization/ declaration of war now that the 4 locations were Annexed and Federated with Russia.

China, Iran, North Korea, Azerbaijan, Armenia, etc. may also start up their own actions.

Situation is going to get a whole lot uglier.

I have not been worrying about it all.

Apparently, you pro-Ukrainian pundits are though given the sheer amount of threads your like have been incessantly posting within/on FR over the course of these offensives pumping them while ignoring that they are nothing more than illusionary, superficial wins/gains while the Ukrainian military is getting further wrecked and depleted.

Ukraine is in shambles and Russia still has Russia. Ukriane has gained nothing except self destruction and a sh** load of money from us.

Just out of curiosity, what would an actual successful, rather than “superficial,” Ukrainian offensive look to you?

The better question is are all successes weighted the same?

I wonder if Putin isn’t pulling back because he is about to turn those areas into nuclear wastelands?
