        Oh Ukraine “did something” over the past 4 months, don’t worry. They ground roughly a dozen brigades to dust trying to overcome the Russian minefields.

      On September 5th, during a meeting with other military leaders, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu claimed that Ukrainian forces had lost more than 66,000 troops and 7,600 heavy weapons since the counteroffensive’s start on June 4th. Shoigu also claimed that “despite the colossal cost in manpower and equipment, the Ukrainian government continues its operation because it desperately needs to show some kind of success to its Western sponsors. Shoigu also made the claim that “in no area did the Armed Forces of Ukraine achieve their goals."

    I like how all gains made by Ukraine are in the solid color, with no regards to if there’s ongoing fighting in those areas, while the Russian lines are marked as limited control (implying that the are about to be breached.)

    The Ukrainians must know that they’re getting Kursked but they can’t say anything or the West will get cold feet and stop feeding in money and weapons. All they can do is pray that the Russians aren’t planning a Bagration-style followup offensive that the Ukrainians can’t do anything about because their reserves are exhausted.

    These maps are literally produced by the makers of weaponry in America. So I guess they’ll say whatever they think will produce the most support for more spending on war.

    I don’t know, maybe they’re preparing for another advance, maybe they’ll wait until next year, when the US will probably see that sending arms and money to Ukraine will do nothing to help them, and sending US/NATO soldiers would start World War III. Maybe the US will negotiate a peace treaty giving Russia the land it wants. But who knows.

      Kinda doubt it. The US military can afford to fund pointless money-sucks for decades. Unless its focus shifts to China in the near future, I don’t see why they’d let up in the Ukraine.

    You can’t really trust anything from a goverent that feigned “the ace of Kiev” was a Ukrainian fighting Russians, and not a video game montage. So much propaganda is coming out on both sides; but coupled that with the Ukrainian government persecuting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, I don’t trust a thing coming out of that country.
