Kiev's silence about the outcome of its much-anticipated counter offensive is raising questions whether President Volodymyr Zelensky and his team have overplayed their hand in trying to take on entrenched Russian forces too early. Especially with some unverified reports on social media suggesting the Ukrainians have taken heavy losses.

They are going from “The Great Kherson Counter-Offensive is a Smashing Victory!”
to “The Great Kherson Counter-Offensive was actually just a ‘spoiling attack’”
to “The Great Kherson Counter-Offensive was only a feint”
to “What Kherson Counter-Offensive?”
Reality: down the memory hole.
Not so easy for the families of the thousands of Ukrainians needlessly slaughtered to keep the NATO $$ pipelines flowing to the Uke oligarchs.
Because the Ukes put their arms into a wood chipper and are too busy freaking out over their bloody stumps?
Oof
The Ukrainian ‘Counteroffensive’ Was Destined To Fail - Today It Did So
Money quote
Why Is Ukraine Silent If Its Forces Are Winning?
Because its forces are not winning?
No, this cannot be so simple and Zelensky promised a big victory, he cannot be wrong?
In related news:
Russia issued a warning: if you receive a telephone call from a person who claims to be a Ukrainian president and who asks for money, weapons or sexual favors, know that this is just some druggie.
Must keep the Laundy open.
Tis but a flesh wound.
Why telegraph what you are doing or going to do?
[MOA] "As I wrote on September 1. The Ukrainian Kherson offensive continues despite extremely heavy losses. The Rybar map shows one of the axes where the Ukrainian army still tries to press forward after having been rooted from Bruskyns'ke. The area is flat open steppe with no coverage for troops to hide. The Russian side is by far superior in artillery and has air supremacy. Whoever ordered the Ukrainians to press this suicidal campaign under these circumstance is guilty of murder and should go to prison for the rest of his life."
[Me:] WAY WAY more at the MOA link and many other objective sites. "Strangely," there is almost a total news blackout in the West on "The Great Kherson Counter-Offensive" and the "Great Raid on the ZNPP."
I wonder why that is....it's almost like the West's MSM and Social Media are taking orders from their govts.....nah, that would be impossible.
/sarcasm
That’s interesting and not surprising.
Rybar is a good source...bump
Ukraine is OBVIOUSLY keeping silent so as to not tip off which areas the Ukrainians have driven the Russians out of.
Well, you come up with something better.
Looking at the shape of the great Ukrainian advance in this map one cannot fail to notice that it is rather phallic.
Perhaps this was the entire idea?
That's why they call it a "Bulge".
