Frontline report: Ukraine set a forest trap in Sumy — a Russian battalion vanished inside
Euromaidan Press ^ | 27/06/2025 | Eroromaden Press

Posted on 06/27/2025 7:09:42 PM PDT by Uncle Lonny

"Russian forces launched a new offensive into Sumy Oblast, charging across open fields with the expectation of minimal resistance. But what they encountered was a carefully planned Ukrainian trap.

Drawn far from their defensive lines and exposed in the open, Russian units were hit hard by a sudden Ukrainian counterstrike. Artillery, drones, and precision infantry movements devastated the attackers. Ukrainian forces quickly overran Russian command posts, shattered frontline cohesion, and forced dozens of Russian soldiers to surrender."

Come on, folks. This didn’t happen. There is no Ukraine to set a trap, and there is no Russian battalion to get lost. Both Ukraine and Russia have “completely collapsed” as has been posted here numerous times since this all started in 2022.

Every now and then, the media admits that NATO is fighting Russia and using Ukraine as a sock puppet. So many Ukrainian fighters have died that there are portions of the Ukrainian front line which are entirely deserted. Then it’s a full moon or something and they go back to pretending near-dead Ukraine is fighting Russia.

The Ukey press keeps the aura going like they are scoring big wins because they want to keep that money rolling in.

I was just thinking Russia should be empty by now with the millions lost in the war.

The Dogma Block is strong in the Putinistas as evidenced in the comments.

But wait! There is more!

If true, then why do the Russian not just walk through the lines? They should be in Kyiv in what, three days?

“We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a “Putinista”, “comrade”, “murderer”, “baby-killer”, etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.” - Jim Robinson

" charging across open fields with the expectation of minimal resistance."

Granted there is some loaded language here, it is amazing that Russia keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. Ukraine's battlefield surveillance is so good that Russia cannot mass forces anywhere to attack without Ukraine knowing it. Second, Russian logistics are so bad, there are few places they can concentrate forces for a major attack. This all tells Ukraine exactly how Russia forces will attack.

Ukraine's main strategy is attritional and preserving its own forces. They are willing to trade land for as much Russian blood as possible. The smart move for Ukraine is to drag this out as long as possible. Then hope there is a fall "mud season" to really slow Russia down and then let "General Winter" deal with the Russians.

After 3 years and thousands of pages of physical and electronic ink, the Russian army has advanced less than 100 kilometers from where they started. Russia has not won and Ukraine has not lost.

There are portions of the front lines which are abandoned and the Russians cross without resistance. I don’t believe they seek to be in Kiev but are taking out fortifications in the East.
