Well, that's significant progress.

Compared to World War I's battle of Verdun.

And it only cost them 100 tanks, 300 personnel carriers and 20k troops. Oh, and then they had to pull back when Russia countered.

These reports remind me of the “We are about to catch bin Laden” or the “ISIS is on the run” reports that popped up over and over and over. After the 100th time, they lose credibility.

The Verdun comparison is dead on.

50 square miles? That’s a square just over 7 miles on a side.

Wow.

Not to start anything, but for seemingly months and months, I see one story after another that contradicts some previous story or claim.

I honestly couldn’t tell you who is winning.

I don’t think they’ve broken through the hardened defenses anywhere.

And Russia controls over 100,000 sq/km, so the Ukes have reclaimed a little more than 1/10 of 1%.

Sad

By comparison, a township in Ohio is 36 square miles. Not much to show for three weeks work.

It is impossible to know. I cannot think of a single news source l trust with respect to this war. I do know it is the biggest rat money laundering operation in history

As Ukraine deployed its forces in the southern region to secure a 50-square-mile territory, the Wagner forces shifted their operations to Belarus with the intention of launching an assault on the relatively less fortified capital, Kyiv.

You must have missed the memo. The Ukrainian “counteroffensive” is so yesterday. It failed miserably and was achieved no military objectives. All it accomplished was killing thousands more men who were kidnapped off the streets and from their homes killed. But do not worry 99% of them were straight white men on both sides so the woke lefties don't count them anyway.

The load of crap about civil war in Russia is what all that the war mongering couch potatoes have been latching onto for the last few days. Come to think of it isn't Putin suppose to have died six times over from some kind of medical problems?
