Putin humiliated as Ukraine reverses Russian offensive victories in dramatic fightback
Express UK ^ | 6/1/2024 | Oli Smith

Vladimir Putin is furious after Ukraine's military staged a dramatic fightback and seized back control over most of a town that Russia thought they had captured in Kharkiv.

Russia launched a surprise counteroffensive in Kharkiv earlier this month and many military sources within the Russian army had boasted that they had captured the pivotal town of Vovchansk. However, Ukraine's Defence Forces have now confirmed that Kyiv has regained control of 70 percent of the town, amid fierce ongoing street battles.

Ukraine's Lieutenant Colonel Nazar Voloshyn said that Ukrainian counterattacks, along with effective artillery and drone strikes, were thwarting Russia's efforts and putting them on the back foot. He described Russian tactics as defensive while Ukrainian forces were increasingly seizing the initiative.

The shock fightback has stunned Vladimir Putin's forces and left the Kremlin leader furious. In response, the Russian president has called on his military to send thousands of more soldiers into the area.

The first casualty in any war is the Truth .

Actually, war is the result of the truth, and war is also a result of the lies.

Which came first? War can kill the truth, and it can also kill the lies. But too often, war is a consequence of the truth or the lies.

Heh! I think it’s sort of androgynously interchangeable.

I bet you would send every able-bodied American man and woman to Ukraine, probably because you were brainwashed to believe that Russia was our forever enemy.

What Ukraine power grid doink after last night?

After last night, long term they will need to import more electric and perhaps fix the grid to run it on. Imported electric is expensive so Uncle Sam will have to borrow more money to pay Ukraine's future electric bill.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I called her up on it several times. Others have too and she, in her usual way, just flipped the bird at everyone. Suddenly, out of the blue, she's ditched the psychopathic, genocidal "RuZZians aren't people" tagline.

Betcha management told her to get rid of it. . . nothing else makes sense.

Before that, she couldn't BEAR the thought of doing so. Badabing!

Has anything marcusmaximus posted ever been even remotely close to being the truth?

No...His posts about Putin have particularly laughable. He's claimed Putin was dead and Russia was using a body double in his place. That Putin had thyroid, blood and stomach cancer. Last week, he posted something about Putin's hand, claiming it looked so bad that he was near death.

If Marcus is an operative of some kind, he's an embarrassment to whoever is hiring him to post here.

Oh yeah I know. It was more of a rhetorical question, though I did wonder if he had perhaps lucked upon one that had even a small amount of truth to it, because I can’t remember if any has ever had any truth to it at all.

Not nearly as embarrassing as claiming on February 18, 2022 that Russia had no intention of invading Ukraine, though.

If I had known that Biden had authorized a Ukrainian offensive on Donetsk and Lugansk, I wouldn't have made that comment.

I'll put me and my sources track record since the war began over you and yours since this war began any day.

Zeeper numbskulls like you WANTED this proxy war. It's been disaster. NATO and we are getting are asses kicked.

But, if you want to defend Biden and everything his regime has done in Ukraine, BECOME A DEMOCRAT and get the hell out of the Republican party and conservative movement.

The Republican party isn't going back to being the party of Bush, no matter how much you wish it would.

At that point Russian troops had already begun to mobilize towards the Ukraine border. Familiarity with US foreign policy was not a prerequisite for figuring out what was going to happen next.

I'll put me and my sources track record since the war began over you and yours since this war began any day.

Oh, I have never doubted that you have access to many first hand sources. I just doubt your/their objectivity, given how closely your posts resemble Kremlin talking points.

So I'm a closet Democrat because I don't nod along to the Kremlin's every word now, am I? Logic fail.
