Ukrainian forces battled Friday to repel waves of Russian soldiers trying to break through their defense lines in the east, as they pleaded for more weapons before the first Western battle tanks arrive.
Ukrainian officials confirmed that brutal battles were underway, a day after at least 11 people were killed and as many people were injured in missile and armed-drone strikes across the country, including in the capital of Kyiv, which were widely viewed as retaliatory after the US and European countries pledged to send modern tanks.
“Fierce fighting continues along the front lines,” said Oleh Synehubov, governor of the northeastern region of Kharkiv, adding that Ukrainian forces were holding out.

Human wave attacks make sense for the Russians. Improved tanks, aircraft, apc, tank destroyers, all that is coming. They need a breakthrough to force Ukraine to the table before the new weapons arrive. Good strategy, except for the soldiers.
Piss off Z

Africa and Germany have both reported stopping sales of “donated” weapons to Ukraine.
Ukrainian soldiers have reported that weapons don’t make it to the front.
There is a reason Biden and friends are resisting an audit.
“Putting aside the political discussion about supporting Ukraine, the United States is telling them to give up that particular front at bakhmut and the Ukrainians don’t want to do it. Could be a big mistake on their part.”
Yup, if its value does not warrant the effort at this time, then it’s time to pursue other opportunities.
“as Putlerists are desperate to lock in their gains....”
Yup, and his fans here on FR continue to lust for the blood of his victims.
They need a breakthrough to force Ukraine to the table before the new weapons arrive.”
Ha, ha... Russians are negotiating with the Taliban. Soon they will have billions of dollars of the latest American weaponry (thanks to Biden). There will be wholesale slaughter on both sides.
The question is who can suffer the most.
Correct. We have made Ukrainian men into cannon fodder.
Forced mobilizations are commonplace in Ukraine cities now.
Russia has reported reaching very untrained scared Ukrainian conscripts from sealed tanks.
The Ukrainians seal them into the tanks and send them out.
Our greed and worship of the dollar has caused untold suffering and death.
Pretty much the neocon way..
Humvees. Small
Arms. Maybe some strikers. No real
Armor and no tanks in Afghanistan.
Still, better than Mosin nagants and walking. Plus probably good food rations.
“Could be a big mistake on their part.”
It could also be the US is helping to lure the Russians into another trap.
“If they hadn’t sold 1/2 of everything they’ve already been given they’d have enough.”
So where did they sell it ?
“Send lawyers, guns, and money
The Biden’s hit the fan”
KISS OFF............
Will they have any Main Battle Tanks(MBTs) like the Abrams or Leopard?
And putting all his apples into the Biden cart. Maybe if he has appealed to Republicans I might have some sympathy.

Russians definitely benefit from alot of this... outside of munitions NK sending and the drones from Iran.
12,000 Humvees (a lot of mobile firepower)
300,000 Weapons and 1,537,000 of the “specialty munitions.
9,524 air-to-ground munitions
17,500 “pieces of explosive detection, electronic countermeasure
42,000 pieces of specialized equipment
“Nearly all” night vision, surveillance
INB4 Linda joins their calls for more weapons
“Ukrainian Army is going to be in full retreat soon. This is their second to last defensive line.”
I see we are now repeating posts made months ago....
Some of that has Cross uses, but much of it for a different kind of military action. Still, it would benefit them. It will probably drag things out.
