A new counteroffensive is the only way forward to success for Ukraine, the commander of its Armed Forces recently told a small group of milbloggers.

“Victory is impossible if the Armed Forces work only in defense,” said Col.-Gen. Oleksander Syrskyi, according to Ukrainian military journalist Kirill Sazonov’s recent post on Telegram. “We have to seize the initiative and counterattack. We have and we will. Where and who – you will see.”

Either that, or there is no (meaning no) likely path to "victory", escalation having no historical positive report card.

Russia won’t ever stop, no matter who is in command.

This is not Putin’s war, it is Russia’s war.

If the West could have stopped Russia, this would be over by now.

Time for a negotiated end to the conflict and stop the killing and stop the escalation.

Yes, Steiner’s attack will break up the Russian offensive.

Hmmmm… sounds familiar.

The 2023 Ukraine summer offensive weakened Ukraine badly.

Prior to that offensive, Ukraine was able to outfight the Russians.

Ukraine is short of troops and fighting defensively is less costly than fighting offensively.

Trump will get Ukraine the best deal possible.

“Drafting everyone around the world into WWIII is the only path to victory!”
“An exchange of nukes is the only path to victory!”
“Oh, we were wrong about the whole war business to begin with. WEF stooges manipulated everyone into a gruesome global brawl. Especially to put mud in Trump’s eye, sorry about all the countless dead.”

Hitler found out Russia is very big.

Ukraine's best opportunity to win the war was before late October 2022 around the same time Putin had to mobilize 300,000 extra troops.

The only thing stopping Ukraine was logistics. Enough ammunition?

Trump told Joe do what you are determined to do, the war ends late January. Next day Biden ramps it up.

Would Ukraine like to have a nuclear bomb again?

Free delivery by North Korean ICBM!

Well Top Commander, you have less than 60 days.

You might want to start writing a Dossier to explain your position.

Yeah, where is that North Korean sector exactly? You're not only one looking for it.
