Russia's defence minister said on Tuesday his forces had thwarted the first three days of a Ukrainian counter-offensive, alleging that they had killed or wounded more than 3,700 Ukrainian soldiers.

Unusually, Sergei Shoigu read a statement himself rather than leaving it to the ministry's regular spokesman.

"In the past three days, the Ukrainian regime launched a long-promised offensive in different sectors of the front," Shoigu said.

He said Ukraine had suffered 3,715 casualties over three days, as well as losing 52 tanks and 207 armoured vehicles.

That’s it then. The war is over.

No more Ukrainians left to fight.

Hail the conquering heroes!

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, who spent months on the ground in Bakhmut, said the Kremlin’s claims about inflicting heavy losses on Ukraine are ‘wild and absurd science fiction’

Not even I believe the “offensive” has started in earnest.

So the counter-counteroffensive consisted of losing 7000 men and blowing up a civilian dam?

“ He said Ukraine had suffered 3,715 casualties over three days, as well as losing 52 tanks and 207 armoured vehicles.….”

There is much video confirmation of huge Ukie armored losses.,how many exactly, who knows…claimed 8 Leopard 2’s, but what can be actually identified in the videos are a few French wheeled tanks, Bradley’s, and heavy tracked vehicles…a few more days will confirm the kills.

…….oh, and a few Strykers….I guess that is exactly what happens when you try a massive armored assault WITHOUT ANY air cover. The live video footage of the Russian attack helicopters blowing armored vehicles confirms no Ukie support aircraft anywhere.

I think the Ukrainians had a few aircraft shot down. I believe it was a total of two. If I was a Ukrainian I would be real worried about having to rely on an idiot like Joe Biden. His record is a long list of stupidity and failure. If history is any guide the Ukrainians will regret trusting Biden. It's too bad so many lives have to be lost before the inevitable happens.

Our resident female Ukraine Propaganda Minister will not like this news.
Send more U.S. Taxpayer Money to Zelensky so he can turn it around
and have a little left over to put in a Swiss Bank Account for himself.

Is that English, or is that the language spoken by the aliens that the U.S. has captured and won't tell us about?

'ho ho men'?

Whatever you're trying to say, has to be wrong.
