The war is unreal.
Since when has a Democrat President pulled off a proxy war offensive? Johnson could not in Vietnam,Carter Could not in Iran, Clinton Could not in Somalia, Obama could not in Syria, so what makes you think Geriatric Joe can in Ukraine?
Joe is actually up shit creek without a paddle in Ukraine because he has slow walked support for Ukraine. Why the slow walk? Ask yourself why Biden wants a war of attrition like all of his asshaole dem presidential predecessors did instead of victory.

You know it might be better if you didn’t anounce your counter attack ever day... I mean, keeping some things secret is a good thing.
You think the Russian might be using satellite and aerial Reconnoissance to see where they are staging and then lobs some long-range missiles in there
Announcing the counter attack is a ploy to keep the money flowing in.
You’re right...Russian intelligence feeds everything to the Russian military to eliminate the threat.
“Your posts boil down”
Actually, you are the one that should be ashamed.
Your comment does not reflect that you have read the multiple articles and videos that I have posted.
But, you are entitled to have freedom of thought and expression to form your biases.
However, equally, if not more important is providing well-sourced information rather than mere personal opinions regarding the Putin invasion of a sovereign nation. As I have said before, I have learned much from people whose views are opposite mine. Not because their oppositional opinion overpowered my viewpoint, but instead their opposing views clarified and confirmed mine. :)
I don’t accept your spin on this.
That you back what Biden/Obama/WEF/Globalists are doing is disgusting.
Except for Vietnam you’re listing countries and military scrubs that are completely different from this war.
Carter never tried to defeat Iran.
And Vietnam was lost after Johnson was long gone and Nixon had been driven from office.
The difference is the Ukrainians have a will to fight for their country.
Who do you think you’re kidding with these ridiculous assertions.
Pray for peace.
Why one talks about Counter Offensive it means one wants what has been taken from them.

“Who do you think you’re kidding with these ridiculous assertions”.
You’re still not too bright.
It only come after the nuke strike on Moscow. One Dirty Bomb should cause Russia to surrender. One hit on the Kremlin and the war is over! Russians will withdraw out of all Ukraine and give land to Zelenskyy’s Government. Be over by July. We can rebuild Ukraine into a eastern Las Vegas—girls, gambling, drugs and a paradise for Europe.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and sixty second day of the war.
Day 462: May 31
The day started with a successful drone strike on the Russian oil refinery plant in the Krasnodar region. This is one of the biggest oil refinery plants in Russia that processes more than 6 million metric tons of oil every year. Russian sources reported that the drone happened to hit precisely the oil distillation facility, which is the most important facility in the entire plant. The explosion caused a massive and intense fire that the firefighters struggled to put out the whole night.
Simultaneously, the second swarm of drones attacked another oil refinery plant slightly to the west. Russian sources reported that 1 Ukrainian drone managed to pass through the air defense, but failed to detonate due to malfunction. Fortunately, Ukrainians conducted another strike 3 days ago, in which one drone successfully damaged one of the oil distillation facilities.
There were already more than 10 strikes on the oil-related facilities only in the Krasnodar region, and even though half of the time Russian manage to protect their facilities, today, Ukrainians successfully destroyed the 5th facility in the region.
However, this is only the beginning. Today Ukrainians released the results of yet another Storm Shadow missile strike that took place several days ago. This time Ukrainians struck a base in Yurkivka, which is located between Berdyansk and Mariupol. Mariupol Mayoral Advisor Petro Andryushchenko reported that Russian forces created a base on the former kids camp resort and that a Ukrainian strike on a Russian concentration area killed 100 Russian personnel and wounded at least 40 others.
At the same time, a lot of local residents were also reporting about hearing explosions in Mariupol, Berdyansk, and Melitopol and posted footage of air defense rocket contrails. The Ukrainian city council of Berdyansk reported that there were at least 5 Storm Shadow missiles that directly hit Russian objects. In Melitopol, explosions were recorded near the airfield, and shortly after that local residents posted confirmation that the explosions caused a fire on the Russian base.
Ukrainians also continue destroying Russian forces with HIMARS strikes. Ukrainian Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov reported that Ukrainian forces targeted Mykhailivka for two days in a row: on May 29 and 30. Zaporizhia region occupation official Vladimir Rogov confirmed that Ukrainian forces struck Mykhailivka. He also stated that Ukrainian forces are striking roads and bridges, in particular, those connecting Vasylivka and Dniprorudne.
Lastly, HIMARS strikes were also recorded in the east. Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces conducted a HIMARS strike on Almazna in the Luhansk region. Local residents of the Donetsk region also reported that there were strikes on the Russian bases on the outskirts of Horlivka. The footage seems to confirm these claims as huge plumes of smoke were seen above the city.
Russian forces continue redeploying their forces across Ukraine, further giving more and more opportunities for the Ukrainians to destroy areas of forces concentrations. Right now, Russians are redeploying Motorized Rifle and Airborne units from the Svatove direction to the northern Bakhmut’s flank, and the DPR forces from Avdiivka and Vuhledar to the southern Bakhmut’s flank, including the city. In the meantime, Wagner forces are moving to the bases in the vicinity of Luhansk. Today the Head of the Chechen Republic announced that Akhmat forces are redeploying to Donbas as well. The increasing presence of Chechen forces is noticed around Bilohorivka, Marinka, and Kherson.
Overall, Ukrainians continue degrading Russian forces, taking advantage of the ongoing changes in the composition of troops behind the front. It is also important to note that the targets of the strikes are gradually becoming objects closer to the contact line, and the fact that Russians started complaining about the destruction of critical logistics infrastructure, such as bridges in the Zaporizhia region, mirrors what we saw ahead of the Kherson counteroffensive operation and signals that that we are getting closer to the next one.

Might not happen. I don't see how they could have the resources for it.
Those missiles hate traffic lights. Stay away from the traffic lights!
Calls for Putin’s change have begun to sound in Russia, - British intelligence

Yevgeny Prigozhin’s recent harsh rhetoric has eased Russia’s taboo on talking about replacing the president.
This is stated in the report of the British intelligence service, which was published on Twitter by the Ministry of defense of Great Britain, the Censor informs.No.
“On May 27, Russian opposition politician Boris Nadezhdin spoke on the Russian NTV channel and called for the election of a new president in 2024 to restore normal relations with Europe,” the report says.
Analysts note that Nadezhdin has been a prominent critic of the war since the beginning of the invasion, but this is almost the first call to replace Putin that was made on the state TV channel of the Russian Federation.
“Over the past 15 months, the Russian Federation has imposed unprecedented restrictions on freedom of speech since Soviet times. However, there is a realistic possibility that the latest harsh rhetoric of representatives of nationalist circles, as the owner of the Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin, added courage to opposition figures to raise taboo topics,” the report says.
Russia’s military spending remains high - British intelligence

Russia’s true military spending is extremely uncertain due to the increased use of classified budget items, especially since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.
As the censor reports.No, this is reported by the British Defense Ministry with reference to intelligence data.
It is noted that on May 25, 2023, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) reported that Russian military spending in 2022 increased by 9.2%, to 86.4 billion US dollars. SIPRI estimates that this is equal to 4.1% of Russia’s GDP.
The UK intelligence service said that Russia’s true military spending is extremely uncertain due to the increased use of classified budget items, especially since February 2022, and the lack of transparency.
“Russia only recently resumed publishing a breakdown of expenditures by item after suspending it in May 2022. Almost certainly, military spending remains high, and this puts pressure on Russian public finances,” the Intelligence Service noted.
