"It's over before it started. Ukraine's mech brigades began movement against the Russian line in Zaparozha (the "grey zone") starting on June 4th. That's when the carnage began. Over 6,000 Ukrainian deaths later, I have not tracked any Ukraine brigade-level forward movement since June 13th. It looks like the 10-day offensive is over."

Exactly. The copium is very strong in these Zeepers.

Thanks for the report genius. Which you made up.

unfortunately for the Russians they’ve seen plenty of Ukrainian forward progress.

Vladimir Putin is the one who brought havoc and destruction into Ukraine.

I think a lot of you believe that if you make stuff up it becomes true.

The New York Times has jumped ship. You should too.

Even N.Y. Times concedes Ukrainian soldiers wearing Nazi symbols

So the offensive was for 10 days and is over already...

Because you fantasized that.

Except it just started, has made progress and is far from over. but hey why even acknowledge reality.

Keep telling yourself that. Even zelensky says it’s not going great.

You sound like some of the people around here who are gonna have a mental breakdown when Russia wins the war.

And they eventually will.

Uke advances are getting beat up, but they haven’t committed a large part of the reserves.

The summer-fall-winter-spring Great Offensive started on June 4.

He can find the "men" that he needs at the Ministry of Silly Walks.

You mean capturing those settlements along the river that are indefensible low-land? The ones where the Russians hold the high ground and form a cauldron around the flanks?

Yeah, that's progress.

Ever hear about what Michael Wittman did at Villers-Bocage on 13 June 1944? Did it alter the result of the war?

Because Ukraine already committed the reserve to Bakhmut and Donetsk. General Zaluzhny opposed this and it's probably why he was fired. Notice there are no more UFA on the Belarus border, north of Kiev. This is the problem. You're running out of people. All you had for the offensive were the 12 specially-trained and NATO-equipped brigades, and they were clobbered.

For those who understand Johnson pretends to know more than he knows as he reads Russian MOD talking points of RT and TASS, this is good news.

It means the Ukrainian offensive is right on schedule.

Yep.

You see that "reasoning" from the gullible on this very thread.

“He estimated that would take about 2 years total.”

Even IF that were true, it would not be this existing equipment and these currently uniformed men that do it.

And it’s very likely US aid will end next year.

NOTHING about the actual offensive, pure opinion.

Except .. . the offensive is succeeding and Ukraine hasn’t yet committed its main forces.

*****
*******

So, you COMPLAIN about "pure opinion", then offer your OPINION.

What's wrong with you?
