Overall, Ukraine regained more than 260 square km (100 square miles) in the south during the counteroffensive, she said.
During its three-month-old counteroffensive, Ukraine has reported slow, steady progress against entrenched Russian positions, retaking a string of villages and advancing on the flanks of Bakhmut, but taking no major settlements.

400,000 dead for "The Great Counter-Offensive of 2023"
Yippee! $40 Billion more for Green T-shirt man and Biden!
It’s all over except for your lies.
LOL, post your russian sources (Big Serge?) for those numbers and how many russians(Wagner) where killed in their great winter offensive that took one small town (Bakhmut)?
. This offensive should have been given the mission name "Shortbus."
“””400,000 dead for “The Great Counter-Offensive of 2023””””
Your analysis is that 400,000 have been killed during this Spring Offensive, are they all Ukrainians are is that both sides?
Slowly making their way to Tokmak. If and when the Ukrainians take that area the entire Russian position in Crimea and area to the west of Tokmak becomes very problematic.
Our enemy Russia, stuck in a military quagmire in Ukraine for 1 year, 6 months, 3 weeks and 5 days is a victory for the free world and an important lesson to China.
Is it that America is not even up to the level of being a Paper Tiger?
“Our enemy Russia, stuck in a military quagmire in Ukraine for 1 year, 6 months, 3 weeks and 5 days is a victory for the free world and an important lesson to China.”
somebody here gets it! Russia is our enemy!
Now do Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam.
Unlike earlier in the war there is plenty of drone video proving heavy losses for Ukr (well Russ as well).
The Indonesian website has probably been averaging 10 new videos per day. For months! How much action isnt recorded (lots) how many are not shown as poor recording etc (also lots). All Ukr losses.
Peace now.
Today video (already 5 or so new ones out):

Not ONE US serviceman is injured or killed in Ukraine.
Wow, and they only lost a little over 400 soldiers a day to take all of that.
Be very careful now. You have to add on the words “that we are aware of”.
“...Russia is our enemy!”
Much of what appears on Russian social media is steered by the government’s trolls. Lately, there has been much talk about North Korea attacking America and thus Russia would be free from retaliation. They were even joking about a North Korean submarine going up the Hudson. All of this follows the era where even the speaker of the Duma was saying it was time to “reverse the illegal transfer of Alaska.” Such talk was very common on Russian social media. Of course, not all Russians buy into such FSB-spawned baloney.
Russia’s government is very much our enemy.
Russia is not our enemy. We have made ourselves Russia’s enemy. Inviting Ukraine to NATO ( a red line for Putin as he has said many times in the past). Installing Zelensky as leader of Ukraine (CIA pick). And lending material support in arms and (sadly) our tax dollars. You people are delusional and are inviting WW3 on the world. When/if it happens look your children and grandchildren and tell them you are sorry and you were wrong.
No one is arguing heavy losses, but Travis coming up with ridiculous 400,000 dead just in this offensive is ridiculous.
Peace now.
So when China invades Taiwan, will you be also saying "Peace now"?
