Another 5-6 miles? Just to lose it when Ukraine gets new toys from us in another “big counteroffensive”? Just 2 governments exterminating their people and circles with vested interests making a killing off it.


Ukraine has got problems recruiting people. You need numbers to gain anything back. That was and is the biggest problem from the very start. I think they are better served in using guerilla tactics by now.

Well, the significance is Ukraine was defending that area with everything. A breakthrough there means Russia can march further through/ Ukraine was depleted of its resources. Time will tell.


This is conjecture.

What is true is Russia has had a significant numerical advantage and advantage of scale in artillery and has only made limited gains.
Perhaps if the Russian military could be more adept at combined arms manoeuvres they would have taken more territory.

The use of glide bombs has mad a difference allowing Russia to hit Ukrainian positions from distance; This alone is not a gamechanger, the actual advances have been costly for Russia in terms of manpower and material. As they always are.

What will be significant is whether Ukraine can exact a cost on the Russian air force for using this tactic. Either by increased air defence but most likely by targeting the planes before they launch. How they deploy F-16s will effect this the most in my opinion.

I need to stop reading this thread lol, every time I do its someone saying: Ukraine attacked x Russia about to collapse, Russia is breaking that Ukraine is on brink of a loss

Then do actual research, still 7-8 miles of land and abandoned remote villages changing hands 🙌🏿. Distance I can walk in an afternoon


A few barns in the middle of nowhere changing hands isn't significant. More Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure getting through in recent weeks is significant. As are their increased attacks on Kharkiv and Odessa, since those indicate which parts of Ukraine Russia still wants to conquer.

I dont think Russia wants Odessa, its propaganda hype for dumb russian people and nothing more. You have to remember that 80% of Russian population is severely uninformed and have 0 understanding of how world works or why events unfold the way they do, they have been growing up in patriotic holy war with USA propaganda for centuries. Propaganda tells them they will take New-York tomorrow they believe it and spread it among themselves.

Nor do they have capability anymore since most of their capable modern ships are now destroyed. Putin got what he wanted in east, well almost I think region he wants will take him like 10 years to conquer if he continues to move at current pace.
