Pictures are worth a thousand words.....for PR purposes.

The real truth:

“We lost five people for every one they did,” said Ihor, a 30-year-old platoon commander...

Russia’s Orlan drones exposed Ukrainian positions from more than a kilometer above their heads, they said, an altitude that meant they never heard the buzz of the aircraft tracking their movements.

Russian tanks emerged from newly built cement fortifications to blast infantry with large-caliber artillery, the wounded Ukrainian soldiers said. The vehicles would then shrink back beneath the concrete shelters, shielded from mortar and rocket fire.

Counter-battery radar systems automatically detected and located Ukrainians who were targeting the Russians with projectiles, unleashing a barrage of artillery fire in response.

Russian hacking tools hijacked the drones of Ukrainian operators, who saw their aircraft drift away helplessly behind enemy lines.”

NATO doesn’t have much time until winter comes. The first frost hit a couple days ago in Donetsk.

I’ve never predicted how the war will go, or insisted that reports are false just because I don’t like them.

But you childish Ukrainian blood lust haters are disgusting.

Your script has been flipped for months.

I guess Putin will fight to the last Russian to “liberate” Ukraine.

How much blood and treasure will Russia pour into Ukraine?

All these dying Russians and for nothing but a paychotic leader and inept generals, many of whom are now dead.

Russia could be a peaceful prosperous country embraced by Europe. Instead it sold its soul to the nazis and red Chinese and its Syrian Muslim warlords and North Korean communist nazis.

The Ukrainians for sure will make Russia pay with blood even if it takes a hundred years.

You keep posting the same edited crap without the final statements from the wounded Ukrainian soldiers who are determined to get back in the fight:

Ihor said he is eager to return to the front line as soon as he heals. “My people are there. How can I leave them?” he said.

However bloody the fight, the Ukrainian soldiers said they saw no alternative.

“If we don’t stop them, they’re going to just rape and murder our people like they did everywhere else,” said Oleksandr’s roommate in the hospital, a 49-year-old conscripted soldier who asked to be called by his nickname, “Pinochet.”

Pinochet said his knee was shattered by shrapnel from a mortar that was fired after a drone spotted him in the counteroffensive. He said that while Ukrainian casualties are significant, the side that wages an offensive always loses more soldiers.

“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Pinochet said. “And we can still win.”
