The Kharkiv counter attack was really loss and Russia would turn it around in a counter-counter attack, just wait. Reaching Oskil was really a loss. Ukrainian armed forces recovering 5% of the territory Russia spent 7 months occupying was not worth mentioning (except by me).
Taking back Lyman is no big deal when it was predictable as clockwork all week long. Lyman opens the way to Lysachansk, Severodonetsk, and cutting off the rail lines north of Luhansk. Does that sound important?
P.S.
Ukraine estimates the numbers of Russians encircled is between 2.5 to 5.5 thousand, including the 752nd regiment. During the First Battle of Grozny in 1994, the 752 was encircled and had heavy losses. It will not be long before we find out how many are there.
Yes, just as your deny Russian MOD mentions, don’t mind me if I don’t buy into anything being vomited by the Ukrainians, cause they have nearly always been wrong.
500+/- militia holding off 12:1 in favor of Ukrainian odds, if not more - speaks volumes about that NATO trained Ukrainian forces....
