Ukrainian defenders launched a counterattack and cleared Russian invaders from three villages in Donetsk Oblast, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi reported in a Facebook post on Aug. 24.
"Our forces successfully counterattacked and cleared the enemy from the villages of Mykhailivka, Zelenyi Hai, and Volodymyrivka in Donetsk Oblast," Syrskyi stated.
While working on the Pokrovsk front, he met with defenders holding the line in Pokrovsk, and listened to reports from corps and brigade commanders on the operational situation.
"The situation is indeed challenging; the enemy has concentrated its main efforts on this front line. But we must hold the line. Support for organizing combat operations will be provided," Syrskyi added.

Good one! 😆
“Ukraine has not made good use of the billions we’ve and others have given them”
LOL!
The have fought the evil empire to a standstill for three years.
Meanwhile Russia is going broke.
The fecklessness of the Russian military is also a factor. Doesn't mean we have to keep giving money and armaments to Ukraine if the whole thing is a prolonged fiasco with millions being senselessly killed. It just isn't our fight. It never was.
It’s like World War 1.
It's a friggin fake...
Ukraine has a few months of suffering coming. Best to make a deal now, while you have a good shot and an army left. Too many Russians have died for them to give up. Remember what Putin said. “Where ever a Russian soldier’s boot steps, that is Russia.” In the end—Russia will get bigger, Ukraine smaller. That is the way of the world for many generations. You doubt this? Just talk to a Tibetan.
No: the Russians made up the 1.7 million figure.
The image is but the even showing the shunning and ignoring of the patron saint (small s) of perpetual zeepers was not
And yet they’re still fighting, and Russia still hasn’t won.
>> That would make the Russian casualties around 6.8 million at a 4:1 attacker/defender ratio
Awesome rule you apply to throw shade on estimates of the massive UKR casualties!
Is that, like, actual “war science” from the “College of War”?
Or did you find it in a video game?
Or did you make it up to gaslight us?
Now do climate change!
