Western media tells us that Ukraine is all of a sudden winning the war with a massive offensive against Russia. Is this true? Well, it was an advance for Ukraine but it wasn't massive. We show you the maps and data, imagine that!

Uhhh... their map is 2 days old.
The Russians themselves have said they have COMPLETELY left Kharkiv Oblast.
Why are people actively rooting for the Russian?
Just root for a negotiated peace, which was made possible by the massively successful Uke Offensive.
A while back, leaked documents exposed the Ukrainian military and showed that around half of the Ukrainian military was dead, could never fight again, went AWOL, etc, a far higher percentage than Russia is experiencing.
This is why Ukraine had no choice but to bet it all on going offensively.
This leak of Ukrainian documents, that was reported on extensively, occurred around the time of Zelensky’s purge of government officials.
Just root for a negotiated peace, which was made possible by the massively successful Uke Offensive.
...........
Sensible.
So the Russians are #Winning, then. cool.
One question, though: If Bush lost 1,000 square miles of Iraq in one week in 2003 and our soldiers dropped their guns and ran, would we still have troops there in 2022?
Asking for a Neocon friend.
It's amazing and sickening how many here are willing to post Biden regime/globalist propaganda about the war.
I haven't seen people actively rooting for the Russians. I think everyone just wants these two countries to go to the peace making table to end it. According to this report most the Ukrainian soldiers are spent. The soldiers there now are NATO soldiers posing as foreign legion types. If true this is a huge breach.
Russia is not going to lose this war. They will lose battles just like in any war between nations but they will win. Peace was possible back in May of this year but the west, as in the USA, did not want it. Gee; do you think the military industrial complex might have had something to do with that decision so they could make billions by selling their products?
What I do see is a lot of innocent people dying for no good reason.
...Vehicles and soldiers missing heads. Never should have clicked on those videos.
Did they? According to this report there is no photographic or video proof.
Remember when the Ukrainians staged a whole bunch of dead bodies along the road but it turns out they were playing dead for the cameras. All fake.
The following list projects the total number of people around the globe that are eligible for military service
Ukraine Men-7,056,742 Women-9,234,591

Yes.
I don’t like either side, but I feel for the citizens who have suffered, being made pawns in this clash of narcissistic power-drunkards.
I hope the chest-thumpers can get over themselves long enough to come to an agreement/ceasefire and people can try to restore some sense of normality to their lives.
Why are you actively rooting for the deep states laundromat?
So maybe that is why Russia is slow to leave.
Continued... So many libtard MSM stories propping up Ukraine have eventually been exposed as lies over the months and truth be told the Ukrainian military is in a world of hurt - far more than the MSM will admit - but which conservative outlets have reported on.
The Russians themselves admit they have retreated. Russian Spokesman for the Ministry of Defense shows Russian troops have retreated.
During a daily briefing for journalists the Russian defense ministry showed territories in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region which are still controlled by Russian forces.
A map presented at the briefing showed that a small territory in the east of the Kharkiv region, across the Oskol river, remains under Russian control (marked in pink below).

This map, in comparison with one shown at yesterday’s briefing, makes clear that the Russian military has retreated from the northern Kharkiv region. Of note, they have left the city of Vovchansk, on the border of Russia, which has been occupied since the first days of the war. The Ukrainian flag has already been seen over Vovchansk.

True. Russia is going to go the negotiating table, give back most of the land it currently occupies, Putin is going to blame his Generals for everything and hand them over to the Hague.
It sure got quiet around here about “meat grinders” and “artillery”, when the Russians folded like a cheap suit in Kharkiv Oblast. This makes it seems like some here on FR are invested in some sort of Russian victory, instead of looking at the war as an objective observer.
The Russian Army is not good. They don’t have NVG’s they don’t have high tech weapons and they have terible tactics (they do the same thing over and over and over again, hoping it will work this time)
The Kharkiv offensive seems to have worked because they waited for the farmers to harvest the fields (so the Russians could steal the grain) they they just drove high speed over the harvested fields, because they knew they weren’t mined.
A Russian soldier on an intercepted phone call couldn’t believe they didn’t come down the main road.
The best comment I’ve seen so far is when the documentary of the Russian invasion is made, will it be shown on the History Channel, or the Comedy Channel.
I don't think it's rooting for Russia so much as mistrusting the main stream narrative. The deep state SURE want us to believe that Ukraine is the good guy. Highly suspicious considering all the crap that we KNOW Democrats and Republicans were doing in Ukraine.
