On Thursday, August 18, for the first time since July 6, Russia did not declare "territorial achievements in Ukraine. Ukrainian official sources also did not declare new losses of territories.That must mean they announced gains and losses yesterday but none today. So what is the point of the article, just wait until tomorrow.
You could keep us posted on every time a Russian tank backfires but I wouldn't care about that either.
“for the first time since July 6, Russia did not declare “territorial achievements in Ukraine.”
This is reported by the American Institute for the Study of War (Institute for the Study of War, or ISW). Also noted, Russian troops continue to make limited and unsuccessful ground assaults in eastern Ukraine.
The point of the article was that this was the first day since the July date,
that they didn’t give the report.
It’s worth noting.
Too bad Putin didn’t have the means to liberate us from our zippertit , child grooming anti American government.
So you would like Russia to invade our country?
This is what MAGA means?
Why are you still permitted here?
Then don't bother coming here and commenting.
News of a first-time standstill is still news!

As a result of the offensive actions of the allied forces in the Kharkiv region , on August 14, 2022, units of the 58th motorized infantry brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were defeated in the area of the settlement of Udy. Under the onslaught of Russian troops, the remnants of the formation fled from their positions and left this settlement. To suppress panic and intimidate the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the nationalists of the Kraken armed formation exponentially shot 100 servicemen of the 58th motorized infantry brigade who left their positions.
Considering the Russian progress last week to the liberation of Donbass, this week is a well-deserved rest for them.
Ah, the a-typical US/EU/Western propaganda BS revolving around ‘territorial achievements’.......
Yeah. Okie dokie.
“Much as the vast majority of current western military “experts” have been fixated on conquering “territory” as a measure of progress, or the lack thereof, Lincoln’s early generals were illogically focused on the objective of “taking Richmond” – the capital of the Confederacy. This obsession dominated the strategic focus of the Union high command for most of the war.
Lincoln, on the other hand – notwithstanding there is no evidence he ever read von Clausewitz – intuitively and correctly understood that it was not a city, nor any piece of territory, per se, that was the objective upon which his West Point-trained generals should focus.
Rather, he repeatedly (and vainly) urged his generals to come to understand it was the destruction of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by General Robert E. Lee, that constituted the only valid objective of their actions.”

But I heard that the Russians are losing since day one. Ze-clown to hold a Moscow parade anytime soon.
That’s a tiny town on the map - and the UA took it back in the following days. A totally insignificant ‘gain’.
Moreover as you will notice I’m sure, that August 14 was 5 days ago and the announcement of no gain was for 4 days later (yesterday). So what’s your point?
I think they started losing on day 3. Things were still going according to plan on days 1 and 2.
Russia has never wanted “all” of Ukraine. They currently control a region that produces 80% of Uke GDP.
“Russia has never wanted “all” of Ukraine.”
Yes. Russia does + more.
Russia did recognize Ukraine as an independent, i.e. Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances promising to honor Ukraine’s national border. The REAL issue is Russia had lusted for the success of Ukraine. Ukraine citizens have property, clothes & advantages for their population with actually a superior life style with commodities as working shower, toilets. Ukraine show the failure of socialism right next door to them.
According to all of your other posts you have been saying dirty RuZZians have been in retreat since the war started. Which is it?
Whatever MAGA means it does not mean letting FBI goons invade the home of a former US president running for office again. You Ukrainian fanboys are a disgusting distraction brigade who provide cover for the war here at home. Which is more important - a war overseas 5000 miles away or the war right here at home?
