Here's what you're cheering on:

The number of Ukrainian casualties are huge. Reports from Odessa, Nikolaev and Kryvy Rih speak of thousands of wounded. Many more have died. Hundreds of Ukrainian tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed or captured by Russian troops.

The 128th mountain assault brigade from the Ukrainian Transcarpatia region was involved in the general attack and got destroyed. (Why use 'mountain assault' specialists in the open steppe?) The governor of the region reportedly ordered a day of mourning.

In total the 'counterattack' on Kherson was a complete failure that predictably ended up destroying Ukraine's main military reserves and a major part of the stock of heavy vehicles it had received from the 'west'.

I can't help but laugh that your source is some random blog called "Moon of Alabama."

Seriously?

Today the Uke army lost their pontoon bridges (not the dnieper) the other bridge

They are cutoff south of it stranded

The Russians have moved north of that river to pound any reinforcements Kiev sends across open steppes where they are super vulnerable

Some analysts think Ukraine fell for a trap

I think they’ve lost 25%

It was a risky gambit

And as usual a meat grinder for them

Question now is will Russia destroy those trapped or allow them to escape

Who knows

I just can’t believe the crap people post here which is just fairy tales from the media oligarchy of the west

Same folks call us extremists

Yet freepers trust them on Ukraine

Telling isn’t it

How many of these posters are paid trolls
