ZAPORIZHZHIA REGION, Ukraine — The path to a Ukrainian victory — or at least the most obvious path — will probably cut south, through the muddy and flat fields of the Zaporizhzhia region.
Following Russia’s retreat from the city of Kherson — the only regional capital captured by Moscow since the start of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion — Ukrainian forces have limited options for their next big push to continue recapturing occupied territory and, ultimately, to expel the invaders.
Much attention is now shifting here, to the southern front line less than 100 miles north of the Azov Sea, where Ukrainians are eager to sever the “land bridge” connecting mainland Russia to Crimea, which Russia invaded and illegally annexed in 2014. Kyiv is also intent on liberating cities such as Melitopol and Enerhodar, where the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is located.

I “ponder” about a lot of things too.....
PONDEROUS!
Having a mobilized Russian army of 500,000 troops parked along 50% of the Ukraine’s border waiting for the ground to freeze solid is making the Ukes think twice.
water the ground with Russian invader blood!
“water the ground with Russian invader blood!”
Indeed, cause so far its being littered with horrendous amounts of Ukie blood...
yeah... which is why Russia is retreating...
in what alternate universe do you live in?
Hey yo, if “retreating” nets 100k plus KIA, which is a low ball estimate, then please, let’s keep “retreating,” by all means.....

Putin’s war empties arsenal of 20 NATO nations after U.S; Setback for Ukraine | Report
“In a huge setback to Ukraine’s fight against the Russian offensive, most NATO members have run out of weapons. According to a report published in the New York Times, at least 20 of the alliance’s 30 members are “pretty tapped out.” A NATO official also said that smaller countries have exhausted their potential. Even the U.S. military is rushing to replenish the arms stock it has supplied to Kyiv.”

U.S. and NATO Scramble to Arm Ukraine and Refill Their Own Arsenals

“C’mon, man! Everyone knows that the New York Times has always been Russian propaganda!” ~ Joe Biden, probably
Why are deranged Zelenskyites always screeching for blood? I imagine that your are some deranged Goth draped in all black clothes and that your real name is something like “Grimoir” or “Azriel.”
Neocons are nasty pieces of work.
I think the Russians are slowly retreating to encourage the Ukes to keep up their advance so that Russian artillery can continue to grind the Ukrainian military to nothing. Once winter allows for greatly expanded mechanized movement the Russians are likely to move in and mop up.
Ursula’s comments confirmed what leaked Ukrainian documents on Telegram and Twitter a few months back said, that Ukrainian casualties were 2.5-3X higher than Russia’s casualties, but neocons and garden-variety Nuland/Biden/Vindman trolls get angry at these things being said and lash out will all manner of replies.
We all know ‘cranked’ is not an American. He is a RuZZian national. A real crackpot.
I encourage everyone to ignore him. I don’t intend to ever respond to him again.
Everyone’s own decision of course.

Additionally:
When I see a comment by one of our resident Russians fellow travelers - I do not even bother to read their drivel - makes going through a long comment section much faster.

Seems like there's a few of them. JonPreston. Kazan. And others.
nope, just an old school Republican that knows who the evil empire was and wants to be again (the soviets)
And the same strategy liberals use to try and diminish what non-MIC media report is usually found in the manner non-MIC is attacked:
The ones presenting the information are themselves attacked, not the information they present.
This is standard liberal strategy.
That’s because the ones attacking the non-MIC are too dumb or too lazy to try to present a counter-narrative, so they lash out with Russia! Russia! Russia!, Putin! Putin! Putin! instead.
Like MSNBC.
Replay of WWI - the Somme, Verdun, Ypres
More than that, their electricity grid is severely hampering their military ops, their trains are electric ( 80 percent), without trains, no arms, troops, armor, troops….stay tuned, they are 50-60 percent in the dark, and Vlad will put them 90 percent plus dark when Vlad decides to make his next move….and there is nothing the West can do.
The writing is on the wall,
Ukraine 1991-2023 RIP
