  1. U.S. intelligence believes Ukraine offensive will fail – WaPo. Officials voiced doubts about the Ukrainian mission in a classified intel report, the contents of which were relayed to the Post on Thursday, with the outlet citing Moscow’s “brutal proficiency” in defending captured territory. The Post report appears to echo recent revelations by investigative reporter Seymour Hersh. In a story published earlier on Thursday, he cited an unnamed US intelligence official who bluntly stated that Ukraine “will not win the war.” “The word was getting to [US Secretary of State Antony Blinken] through the [CIA] that the Ukrainian offense was not going to work,” Hersh’s source said. He added that the offensive has merely been “a show by [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky, and there were some in the administration who believed his bulls**t.”

  2.  @davefave4351  Foreign mercenaries reveal shocking casualty rates in Ukraine – media: Some Ukrainian units have suffered casualty rates of 85% during their ongoing counteroffensive against Russian forces, Western mercenaries told ABC News on Thursday. The report aligns with casualty figures released by Russia, which claims that its forces have incapacitated 43,000 Ukrainian troops in two months. An U.S. army veteran fighting with Ukrainian special forces near Donetsk told ABC that his unit of "dozens" of men took "85% casualties" during an assault on a village near the city two weeks ago. Of those hit, 40% were injured so badly that they were left “combat ineffective” afterwards, he added. His comrade, another American, said that the unit met "very organized resistance" from Russian troops. A third mercenary, from an unidentified Western nation, told the network that he had been seriously injured in the early days of the counteroffensive, and that around 80% of his battalion had since been wounded. "We lost three Leopards [German-made tanks] in one day because they were just told to drive forward into a minefield," one Western mercenary told ABC, adding that newly-conscripted Ukrainian soldiers lack the requisite training for complex offensive operations. It seems Ukraine’s Western allies are indeed prepared to wage the war to the last Ukrainian,” Putin stated at the time.
