Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said his forces have reclaimed 6,000 square kilometers of occupied territory from Russia since starting a major counteroffensive last month. Western media is presenting events near Kharkiv as an absolute rout of Russian forces, with other sources cautioning there’s little that can be verified, also amid the question of whether regained territory can actually be held and permanently controlled by Ukraine.
Ukraine’s defense minister Oleksii Reznikov himself admitted in a Monday Financial Times report that a prime worry remains the ability to hold on to the territory amid superior Russian munitions and supplies. “A counter-offensive liberates territory and after that you have to control it and be ready to defend it,” he said, with the caveat: “Of course, we have to be worried, this war has worried us for years.”

What would be wrong with bribing the Russians to go away? Especially if it saves lives.
There are lots of various volunteers in Ukraine, including Americans, and everyone knows this.
Smaller than Delaware
Skip it, I didn’t realize this was going to be such a silly thread with everything just thrown in the pile no matter its credibility.
Just have to wonder why so many of you childishly play with every fact.
Let’s recap all the total bullcrap here: Russia simply gave up the land because ...
Ukraine can’t hold the land so it doesn’t count ...
Ghost NATO soldiers really did the fighting...
Zelenskyv wants more money ...
The land area is small...
The Ukrainians are really Russians...
Really? You’re such childish punks you can’t accept that Russia suffered a reversal. Boo hoo.
Russia’s been humiliated. Even within Russia they are beginning to savage Putin for this disgusting war.
live with it, all you who bizarrely live through Russia and Putin.
I think the KIA was in the range of 2,500 to 3,000 over several days. Add the wounded, and you may have about 3 brigades worth of losses.
It maybe not be necessary to defend it, they have cut through to the worthless reserves which will only stand guard in back areas, Russians need more attack troops
You are a typical liberal who resorts to name-calling who has no retort to this article, 1/3, 2/3, or 3/3.
“Volunteers”
Sure. Sure.
No trained forces from any western govt’s at all.
You bet...
Welcome to FR you stupid pos.
Who the F are you newbie punk to call anyone here a liberal.
You already discredited yourself.
willy, settle down, you’ll start a war
Waving the tin cup again are ya, Zelly?
It is disgusting how the media spins this 24/7 without anyone verifying anything...even with the obvious destruction clear to everyone that's been destroyed in Ukraine people are soooo immeasurably blind.
“What would be wrong with bribing the Russians to go away? Especially if it saves lives.”
Because in a few years you have to bribe them again and again and again.....
Once a guy realizes you’ll give up your lunch money it stops being a one off and becomes a habit.
Welcome?
I’ve been here a while, genius. And you do behave like a typical liberal in your response now and how you behaved earlier, proving my point for me.
Quiet. No behaving like that from you.
You had no retort to the article, 1/3, 2/3, and 3/3 plus you became angry in your first post to me and did the same now, so the lack of an evidentiary retort from you is the evidence you are have no credibility while you merely claim that about me. Fail on your part.
So you have to be quiet now and get back on your meds.
And I’m not going to bother reading any reply from you, either.
Russia loses about 3% (average) to Ukraine and sources other than this here say NATO involvement. The trained Ukrainian soldiers are spent, leaked Ukrainian documents from a while back show at least 90k dead with incapacitated, AWOL, etc, and far less Russians like this in comparison whereas fake news in the US and Europe says otherwise.
Russia lost 3% of its territory it conquered and people are dumb enough to think it was a major defeat - while estimates are Ukrine lost up to 12k soldiers acquiring 3%.
And people are dumb enough to keep believing the continually fake news, libtard media outlets.
The Putler fan club will eventually take up whole pages with their keyword wars...
Won’t stop RuSSia’s loss though...
