On day 69 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Russian military still hasn’t achieved a breakthrough in eastern Ukraine. Although the Ukrainian forces have given away territory in some areas, in others, they have been counterattacking and pushing the Russian forces back.Attacks and Counterattacks in the East
The Ukrainian frontline in the area of the Joint Forces Operation in the Donbas still holds despite brutal artillery barrages from the Russian forces. In some places, the Ukrainians have had to give up territory under pressure from the artillery fire. But the Russian military has largely failed to take advantage of the Ukrainian tactical withdrawals.
But the Ukrainian military has been counterattacking too. In the area around Kharkiv, the Ukrainian forces have pushed back the Russian troops by approximately 40 kilometers (about 25 miles). The Ukrainian military is also attacking the vicinity of Kherson, a major regional hub in the south of Ukraine.

The missiles can be used to engage targets at sea and on land and are the latest British-supplied advanced weapons for Ukraine. The maximum range of the surface-launched Brimstone versions is unclear, but the air-launched model can reportedly hit targets at between 4.3 and 15.5 miles.

“Let’s point the nozzle of this rocket at the nozzle of a bigger one, then protect the second with a sheet of plywood.”
Germans kicking up only after it’s clear Ukraine is going to win and Russia is screwed. And I bet the deliveries will be made in weeks rather than in days.
Fritz is building Mittel Europa.
We all think of NATO as an American led alliance, but what if...?
The amount of punishment Russia can take is very high. They are not a democracy.
Then again, they have less control of the narrative than they had of the Afghan narrative.
Plywood as a rocket exhaust backstop? Is this a Brit photo?
“They are not a democracy”
Neither are we.
What could go wrong?
Russia is a Republic just like the USA.
you should be embarrassed to post such BS.
The Rus are slowly but surely breaking out around Izyum and the Krimenna/Lyman/Severodontesk line.You just have to realize that a major breakout is a few towns and a few Kilometers.
The Rus are capturing these few daily.

Basically, to sum it up, from Russkie's own mouths they are screwed and you are very very dumb for believing their propaganda uncritically, CarolinaPutinFan.
Meanwhile two additional brigades of mechanized forces formed with Polish-donated equipment are lurking somewhere.
A battle of artillery in a closely confined area of operations. Photos show that in some places the territory is beginning to look like a WWI moonscape. Casualties on both sides must be very high, but probably much higher on the Russians who are assaulting.
This was suppose to be a 2 week operation.
