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.

In other words, they were "press-ganged"...
Wow, that’s damning. Thanks for posting.

The truth of the Kherson “offensive” is written on the maps for all to see: AFU attacks; Ru hits ‘em hard, then pulls back; AFU advances; Ru hits ‘em again, but pulls back more; AFU adds forces to salient; Ru flanks them in force & cuts off their rear; trap closed; turkey shoot.

The only major encirclement is the Orc 45th sfB from Davydiv Brid & Mala Alexandrevka
Every advance in modern military history takes pics of the recaptured towns as they proudly move forward and rout the opposition. Not with the Ukes.
Cannon Fodder supported by the West. Who will replace the men used as ground meat?
Link please.
“Why telegraph what you are doing or going to do?”
Now that’s funny right there. Z has been bragging about this counter-offensive for 6 weeks. Troop movements aren’t a secret these days either. This was to be a made for TV counteroffensive to win more heroin (USA weaponry) for Ukraine. They don’t have anything to show yet except a lot ambulances leaving the area. Without a constant inflow of American material, this war is over in a month. Biden does just enough to ensure more bloodshed but not nearly enough to win.
It’s the “Humble Approach” as taught by Adolph Biden.
This is a war between more evenly matched sides. It is not a one side action like the Gulf wars. Most of Russia territorial gains were taken in the first 6 to 8 weeks. They took Severdonestk in the fourth month, when Ukrainian defenders were largely cut off. The Kherson offensive is going to take months. Any newsworthy details will not be televised until well after the fact.

Must be the ‘sympathy’ that the Azovs have for Russians, or something like that. Don’t want to get a 15 yard penalty or whatever.
Putin thought his invasion and capitulation of the Ukraine would be over in two weeks.
And Z’s military advisors told him to prepare for a year before counterattacking. Ukraine has certainly been a surprise in the early going, but this war is going to last as long as Uncle Sugar keeps wasting money on it. So probably a long time.
I don’t care who “wins”, they’ve both already lost and it just gets worse for both daily.
So you're asking us to believe that Zelenskyy, a man who plays the piano with his penis and takes weekly photo ops with Hollywood scum, is keeping his victorious counter offensive off the front pages? Do you have any idea how much money a thief like him could make on a military victory? Please, try harder.
How do you (we) know what Putin thought in that regard ?
Not at all. The counteroffensive is in progress. Victory or failure can not be determined yet. Until there is some clear success or failure Ukraine and their allies will keep quiet about it. That is how war happens.
Must be the same Ukies just cut off in their glorious offensive- Ingulet river Ukies pontoon bridges blown, trapping them….now being “ reduced” by Vlads artillery…is “ reduced” woke correct?, destroyed sounds much to masculine-current situation:

Cannon fodder for Vlad’s cannons, the West really, really means to fight Vlad down to the last Ukrainian….when do you suppose the Ukie population wakes up? …defiance doesn’t win wars.
At this rate, there won’t be any Ukies left for simple post war policing…me thinks Ukraine gets carved up like a Turkey- intentionally.
Ukraine RIP 1991-2023
