Complex counteroffensives cannot be resolved in a matter of days, the analysts wrote, and visual evidence indicated that Ukraine continued to pound Russian supply lines and logistical hubs. NYT. Exactly the same thing they were explaining about Russian offensives. Question: before, nobody was shell...

Thanks.
That is what I have been doing.

It seems that one of the objetives of the offensive was to retreat from the area closer to Kherson. https://www.dropbox.com/s/47wbc3wjq4lva30/wdv.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/47wbc3wjq4lva30/wdv.JPG?dl=0 Curiously enough...

The offensive is like the late Russian offensives, small bites; let's see how long they can keep it up.

I have been reading around: morale, even with western weapons, not strong enough... If the "offensive" fails... would that be the right moments for negotiations? Both sides have learned the lesson?

the Russians retook full control over it... And then they took it away? Again, how active it has been lately? Yes, some killing is still going on in Syria, but not on the news... Many airstrikes over there? Again, I don't know what is going on there, but US is increasing the production of HIMARS......

Casualties on both sides have been immense. Like 50.000 casualties in one day?, like WWI? Maybe he should be talking about 1973 instead of 1939... the shield/spear discussion is an old one and it is still going on. I am more than a bit skeptic about his expertise. And, nothing to do with the above....

They don't want or cannot call NG units -and I am not sure what they use and where-, they just "realized" they need a bigger army and a bigger army is more expensive. If they want to carry out something else... they don't have that many units ready; this is not the Red Army -Russian and Uk...
