Ukraine has been tight-lipped about the counter-offensive since it started around September 1st. I suspect it has gone badly for the Ukrainian Army. Normally, Zelensky never shuts up.

Putin has really stepped in it this time!

It’s all over for him now!

And this time I REALLY REALLY REALLY mean it!

Time to catch up with the current propaganda. Not even the Russkies are repeating that BS you just posted. In fact, I’m not even sure Russian propaganda even has a coherent narrative anymore, but it certainly isn’t your BS.

The Russians were warned 6 months ago.

This will only end when Russian Mothers and wives demand that the Army give their sons and husbands back.

but according to some on FR, these victories are only proof that Russia is actually winning and these apparent reversals are only the ‘Mongol tactics’ are to draw Ukrainians in a false sense of security for the final crushing blow that is to come.

Every Ukrainian victory is part of the grand and diabolical Russian plan

“Every Ukrainian victory is part of the grand and diabolical Russian plan”

Some Russian retreats were simply masterful feints by omniscient Russian Commanders, while others are goodwill gestures by magnanimous Russian political leaders...

Reports that Ukrainian forces have reached the outskirts of Kupiansk (near Kharkiv and Izyum).

Fresh Ukrainian units had rotated into the area with NATO gear - night vision, Polish tanks, etc. Reportedly 9,000 troops have broken through the Russian lines, with some undetermined additional number coming behind them.

“Ukes have taken more land in 4 days than Russia in 3 months.”

Over 1,000 square kilometers since September 1st.

Ukraine’s soldiers are using lots of tricks to find the Russians. Ukrainian troops and partisans create fake dating app accounts and pretend to want to hook up with them. They then give their location coordinates to the military. Then it is HIMARS O’Clock.
