Ukraine has said in the past that due to the nature of modern warfare it won't look like actions from the past and we may not recognize it.

Which, when translated, means it won't be an offensive at all and will not take any territory from Russia.

LOL, sure because when Russia retreats, like from Kyiv, its not a retreat but a 'gesture of goodwill to create favorable conditions for Russia-Ukraine talks'.

The withdrawal of Russian forces from Kyiv region is a gesture of goodwill to create favourable conditions for Russia-Ukraine talks, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told France's LCI broadcaster

Both sides have basically exhausted their high-speed, mechanized maneuver elements. So any Russian offensive or Ukrainian counter-offensive isn't going to look like a modern mech offensive.

The Ukrainians are going to take advantage of the Russian strategic disadvantage of having an unsupportable bridgehead over the Dnieper. It doesn't have to be fast or pretty because the river itself puts the Russians in a very poor position. A Ukrainian counteroffensive is likely to be slow and painstaking, but also almost inevitably successful. It just doesn't make sense for the Russians to keep hanging on to a salient that is indefensible long term.

Thank for providing the Russian translation for us.

We had no idea what the Ukrainians meant.

Ukraine has said in the past that due to the nature of modern warfare it won't look like actions from the past and we may not recognize it.

And when the Ukes throw down their weapons and march toward the Russians with their hands in the air, it means Ukraine has won another glorious battle.

Of course Ukraine won’t be taking any territory from Russia. They’ll just be taking *back* their own territory which Russia illegally invaded and occupied.

you probably got that right.
finally , the long long long awaited twitter Kherson offensive has begun. unlikely to capture territory this is intended to disrupt the upcoming referendum.

“Today, during the day, on the direct instructions of V. Zelensky, Ukrainian troops attempted an offensive in the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions in three directions.

As a result of the active defense of the grouping of Russian troops, the AFU units suffered heavy losses.

During the fighting, 26 Ukrainian tanks, 23 infantry fighting vehicles, nine other armored combat vehicles were destroyed, two Su-25 attack aircraft were shot down.

The enemy’s losses in manpower amounted to more than 560 servicemen. Another attempt at offensive actions of the enemy failed miserably.” - RuMoDsaid
