Ukraine updates: Kyiv says counteroffensive won't end war
Deutsche Welle ^

Posted on 05/10/2023 4:02:59 AM PDT by FarCenter

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has talked down the idea of a planned counteroffensive being a guaranteed turning point in the war, adding that Ukraine would not stop launching counteroffensives until it has reclaimed all of the territory occupied by Russia.

"Do not consider this counteroffensive as the last one, because we do not know what will come out of it," Kuleba told Germany's Bild newspaper in comments published on Wednesday.

He said if the counteroffensive doesn't achieve Kyiv's goal of liberating all Ukrainian territory, "it means we have to prepare for the next counteroffensive."

I’ve read a few of these headlines recently, all downplaying the counteroffensive that never comes. The narrative is shifting and reality is creeping into their PropAgenda. This is over.

Then why do it?

With all the advertising of “the coming offensive” it was doomed to failure anyway

The west has run out of weapons to send and is losing the propaganda war because the truth is finally getting out.

Apparently, Russians are close to declaring country 404 (the hoho pseudo-state) to be a state sponsor of terrorism.

The Ukraine has borders... Once the Russian’s are behind those borders, and they stop their aggression... The war will be over.

Putin could order his forces to pack up and leave today and that would end this conflict... If the Ukrainian’s need to retake their territories and kill every Russian occupier... It will take longer.

The Crimea is another matter... It should be an independent territory, separated from Russia and the Ukraine and also allied with Russia and the Ukraine. That can be worked out through negotiations.

The west will never run out of weapons to send... Putin is down to one world war II tank for his military parade.

That money mostly never leaves the US. What Ukrainians get is ammo and more guns that these people need while fighting and dying resisting the onslaught of murderous Russian bastards.

Their life isn’t exactly a picnic right now. Russians are causing immense destruction and committing mass murder in Ukrainian lands.

Do you really think that the people at Raytheon Technologies Corp are sitting on their rear-ends when they can make more and more and more missiles?

That is a joke thread. We are running out of weaponry to send because we are producing very little to send them. We have to have some for our own defense.

The US isn’t all that prepared for protracted land battles like is needed in Ukraine.

And accept nato bases and missile installations and a threat to their country.

To say that is the solution is to ignore the very concerns that led to this conflict.

A solution is one both sides can accept.

It was just the theme for the spring fund-raising campaign.

That should be obvious. If the solution is purely military they need to push the Russians back on multiple fronts.

Russia has no need to worry about an invasion from the west... In fact... If Russia were a democratic republic with actual elections, freedom of speech and lot more capitalism, instead of a state being run by a leader who pines for the good old days of Communism... Maybe we’ll let them join NATO too.
