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.”

And it isn’t Western media “claiming” it as a rout, it is a rout.

The actual evidence as accumulated from RuSSian soldier communications (they are not encrypted), videos, satellite imagery, photographs, and visibly obvious moral decline.

Using conspiracy-mongering shadowy website blogs won’t alter the fact that RuSSia is being routed.

If (a big IF) RuSSian soldiers attempt to “reoccupy” the lost territory, they will simply be incinerated. The very reason they fled to begin with is fear of being hit by HIMARS.

The Russians are having logistical problems supporting their troops. October is a month of rain and mud. November begins ice and snow. Long and compromised supply lines are hard on morale and troop effectiveness.
