The new wave of failed attacks marked the start of the eight week of Ukraine’s counteroffensive. Despite sustaining heavy human and material losses, Kiev forces have so far failed to make any meaningful gains on the ground. The forces are still stuck several kilometers away from the Russian’s military’s first line of defense.

blind, stupid or both?
halt die fresse du saudummes hasbara hurenkind
boy, it looks like the ukronazis bit off more than they could chew!
during ww2 soviet pilots claimed to have shot down 10-16 times more enemy aircraft than enemy actually had lost in air combat. russians are inborn liars.
over claiming was very common among all ww2 pilots though soviet pilots had highest over claiming ratio.
so?
and nazis claimed they destroyed tens of thousands russian tanks, was also big bullshit.
apart from that, and what this change on the fact that russia grinds daily masses on ukro man, armament and material?
don’t try to distract you alleged scandinavian hassbara hurenkind.
yeah but its not wwii and those arent soviets
suck up the pain soyboy

wojciech want tranny pedophile ward, for it’s nighty men’s.
i see there will be many rewards for the 35 0r so leopard tanks destroyed just over last couple days. big shooter.
100,000 russian soldiers and the equipment that goes with it, now pushing offensively east towards karkiv at the top of the front.
this is with solid defense or meat grinder destroying everything the nazis are throwing in to it. two weeks ago ukrainian losses were 26,000 so at a minimum they are around 45,000 dead and 3x injured 135,000.
ukrainian fronts are starting to collapse; as they will not have the men and equipment to block 1000km.
