The propaganda from BOTH sides makes ANY information on this topic useless.

Give me a break! We will not know the outcome of this offensive for weeks, not days. Until then there will be local successes and failures on both sides.

A modRussia video, and two tank crews surrender to Russians.

Well then, the war is over and Russia won!

Russian propaganda is the equivalent of Baghdad Bob reporting on how Iraq is winning the Iraq war and how Hussein is a miraculous leader.

Try better next time, you dopes!

American Democratic officials are screaming about documents from years past but made no effort to make Zelensky keep the timing of the Ukrainian offensive a secret.

The Russians were able to reliably lay mines and move troops with urgency.

I suspect about an extra thousand Ukrainian soldiers are dead because of a lack of offensive security.

There have been maybe a dozen prisoner exchanges so far. So, both sides have been taking prisoners.

Some recent exchanges:

What can be inferred from these exchanges? That the fighting has been tough, and neither side is suffering mass surrenders. And, that Ukraine, with a lot of help from the outside, has been holding its own against Russia. Even with the current counter-offensive, gains have been modest.

“The entire platoon of Armed Forces of Ukraine along with the equipment surrendered to Russian troops in Avdiivka. The platoon commander of the 110th separate mechanized brigade of Ukraine, told the Russians that they surrendered voluntarily to the rescue of the many wounded. Russian military agreed and Ukrainian units arrived armed with two BMP-1 vehicles.”

TASS spews pure Russian propaganda and the Ukraine freedom haters jump on it. Typical Putin puppets.

One video of troops jumping off a vehicle and the Russians are winning? We can’t even tell what side they are on, or see anyone they might be surrendering to. Pure BS by Russian shills.
