“looming counteroffensive”

Ooooh. “Looming”! Sounds serious! ROFL

Another word might be “maybe”. IF they are able to grift enough supplies from willing left-leaning nations.

The Ukrainian military is widely expected to launch its spring counteroffensive any day now,

If it happens, it will be the worst kept secret in the history of warfare.

“Meduza has obtained a copy of new guidelines…”

Why don’t they show a picture of the guidelines? If I had something like that I’d take a picture to include with the story. Maybe this is just made up propaganda, eh?

U.S. state media and Ukraine state media are mo better than Russian state media when it comes to doing this and hedging bets, so no surprise.

If Ukraine succeeds?

1/5:

Going back 5 months until now:

New York Times
U.S. and NATO Scramble to Arm Ukraine and Refill Their Own Arsenals

“...Smaller countries have exhausted their potential, another NATO official said, with 20 of its 30 members “pretty tapped out.” ...”

2/5 And according to very recent statements by Zelensky, it’s worse now:

In a recent interview with Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun he declared that “We do not have ammunition. For us the situation in the East is not good.”

3/5 Zelensky’s admission adds credence to what the Washington Post recently reported regarding how poorly Kyiv’s forces are faring in this conflict, especially its “severe ammunition shortages” that one of its sources spoke about.

4/5: Now the BBC, along with the New York Times (below), has become pro-Putin, for if you report information like this you must obviously be pro-Putin as several Freepers have claimed.

Ukrainian soldiers admit Russia ‘can’t be defeated with West arms...’ | Report

A shocking admission by Ukrainian troops fighting Russia on the ground has come up. Ukrainian troops on the frontline say that western arms may not be enough to defeat Russia, according to a report by the New York Times. The Ukrainian fighters also expressed their surprise at the amount of artillery, tanks, helicopters, and jets Russia has deployed on the battlefield. The admission comes at a time when Ukraine is already facing embarrassment after its much-hyped spring offensive was delayed.

...

Hindustan Times reports on what the Times reported:

5/5: Italy sent over junk artillery and Pakistan sent over junk artillery shells.

How can Ukraine succeed when the media keeps telling the world about the ‘upcoming counter-offensive’

I expect they will broadcast troop positioning for ‘the upcoming counter-offensive’

And then reveal the planned start date of ‘the upcoming counter-offensive’

Then blame Donald Trump, when Russia is there waiting for them.

Bakhmut Endgame | Wagner Reaches Ukraine's FINAL Defensive Line | Bakhmut Front Update 03/05/23

A VIEW FROM THE EDGE OF THE ABYSS

As Mark Wauck summarizes “Ukraine’s professional military knows that the offensive would be suicidal. Ukrainian losses of manpower continue to be extremely heavy—Russia is claiming that Ukraine lost 15,000 men in April. Losses of equipment are reaching catastrophic levels as well, as Russian attacks have heavily targeted assembly areas for munitions and equipment.”

If Zelensky’s cowardice allows America’s foreign policy neocon scum to push Ukraine into a doomed offensive, it will be the most wasted effusion of blood yet in this catastrophic “proxy war.” And it will be the most disgraceful ending possible to the Neocon’s 30 years “forever war” that dropped the United States from a half century illusion of dominant hegemony to an also ran with an obsolete defense establishment and a wrecked economy, all in less than 2 years..
