Steady progress!

So 2133 is V Day?

"Steady progress!"

Only a clown totally lacking in self-awareness of a psychopath would claim a gain of 5.8 mi.² as any kind of victory. With 26000 Ukrainian dead that is roughly 4500 dead per mile.

Perhaps you are just happy with the high numbers of dead Ukrainians.

[Venkman]

This report smacks of desperation. 204.7 sq km retaken! Did they use a measuring wheel to determine that? This is a sad and pathetic attempt at positive spin.

[Sacajaweau]

Crimea is 27,000 sq km...just to put it into perspective.

Bricks. The dopey Ukies are charging into cannon fire for a pile of bricks. Cheer on you Neocon, you’re literally running out of bodies.

[OKSooner]

IOW the Russians are playing textbook defense and have baited the Ukrainians into a battle of attrition against their defensive positions in depth.

Even someone who's never served a day in uniform understands that.

[Kazan]

Steady progress? You're so full it. The counteroffensive has been going on for nearly TWO months and has yet to reach the first line of Russian defense.

Thousands of Ukrainians have died and their blood is on the hands of the Biden regime and slobbering neocon baboons like yourself.

Here's reality:

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for July 31, 2023

- Ukraine's "big push" over the past week has resulted in minimum gains and massive losses;

- Ukraine's "big push" followed weeks of exercising an alleged "artillery advantage" used to soften Russian defenses;

- Western analysts used the same flawed process to assess Ukraine's artillery capabilities they used to assess the supposed likelihood NATO armor would cut through Russian defenses;

- The US rushing M1 Abrams main battle tanks to Ukraine by fall will make no difference on the battlefield, they are too few in number and no more capable than the German Leopard 2 tanks Ukraine has used in a so-far failed offensive;

- Russian defenses are layered specifically to absorb Ukrainian advances and preserve Russian manpower and equipment as they move back to successive lines of defenses;

- Ukraine's attempt to gain territory amid a war of attrition is only accelerating its own defeat;

- A German army report blaming Ukrainian soldiers for the poor outcomes of the offensive is an unfair attempt to shift blame away from NATO;
