‘Russia Counterblow, NYT Admits Ukraine Massive Losses in Stalled Offensive; UK Teeters on The Brink’

The “Kharkiv counteroffensive” was a sham.
There is no such thing.
According to Democracy Now, The Guardian, and others the Ukes gained 1,000 sq km. That’s it, not Zel’s claimed 6k. The size of Rhode Island. BBC reported that Russia has 1/5 of Ukraine, so the Ukes gained back less than 1%.
Kiev regime losses included numerous heavy armor, an acceptable trade for a few towns.
This 1984-style propaganda from Ukraine is past old. Ukraine’s soldiers can achieve nothing as it is foreign soldiers supposedly being “volunteers” that have made scant gains.
There was no Kharkiv counteroffensive as there was little defending forces there but yet Ukraine lost too much heavy armor to make a few villages gained worth it.

The Guardian, Democracy Now, and others reported that a mere 1,000 square kilometers were retaken by Ukraine, not Zel’s claimed 6000 sq km.
The BBC reported that about 1/5 of Ukraine has been conquered by Russia. So Ukrainians retaking 1km square kilometers of 1/5 of Ukraine turns out to be less than 1% of 1/5 of Ukrainr, an area the size of Rhode Island, and all the while Russia has made recent advancements into areas of southern Ukraine.
Ukraine took back land the size of Rhode Island (as Russia took more land in the south) and Ukrainian leaders have said publicly they are “worried” if they can even keep it.

Zelensky Says Ukraine Has Retaken 6,000 Square KM, But Army “Worried” About Defending It

Just one of many that reported on these leaked Ukrainian documents put all over the net. This was from some time back that leaked Ukrainian documents showed Ukraine has lost 50% of its trained military, so who knows how bad it is now.
Unconfirmed leaked data from the Armed Forces of Ukraine General Staff:
- The AFU are only 43-48% complete;
- medical workers at the limit of their strength: the seriously wounded are transported to Europe;
- small arms and bulletproof vests are not enough;

This is backed up by other reports.

“50,000 Muscovites rallied to support the referendum. Westerners don’t realize the whole reason this conflict’s happening now is because Ukraine bombed Donbass for 8 years & when they voted to be independent, Ukraine didn’t like it & bombed them again. This was a long time coming.”

Ukraine ‘shells’ occupied areas amid vote
9/26/22
“Voting in internationally criticised referendums for four Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories to become part of Russia has continued into its third day despite shelling by Ukrainian forces. ...”
https://www.yarrawongachronicle.com.au/world/ukraine-shells-occupied-areas-amid-vote/
This shelling during voting explains the presence of Russian soldiers in numerous voting areas.
The presence of troops in the voting areas would allay the fears of people voting. They would be voting unprotected in case of Ukrainian troops attacking them, or attempting to arrest them, especially so if any voting areas were close(r) to the battle lines.
The rised hand assembly vote in Kosovo in 2008 for independence wasn’t even close to a referendum (which is taking place in Donetsk, Luhansk, etc), went against the Serbian constitution, thus was without the permission of Serbian authorities, and yet was hastily accepted by the west/NATO/EU.
