Because the Ukes put their arms into a wood chipper and are too busy freaking out over their bloody stumps?

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.

Why telegraph what you are doing or going to do?

Report on UK trained Ukrainian military

[Travis McGee]

[Text and map from above MOA link. Many more current maps there.]

[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.

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.

[McGruff]

It appears they have taken a flesh wound.

Its called "operational security". The US did the same during both Gulf Wars (remember them?). When the US was on the offensive they kept quite about specifics. The news reported fighting was happening, just not any details that could allow Iraq to get any useful information. Real time information is going to be limited. 24/7 speculation will go on a usual.

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.

Because sometimes it is a good idea to reduce the amount of information available about the locations and plans of an army.

Data shows little change in the front lines over the last six months, with the Russians gaining ground in some areas and the Ukrainians recapturing ground near Kherson.

This map shows the areas of change. Russia paid a tremendous price for 612 sq km of Ukraine.
