hmmm, no report on the Ukrainian losses. am guessing that means they were astronomically high.

"Liman is a supply hub for the region meaning Russian positions in Luhansk are now under threat" supplies enter Luhansk from Russia! Not Liman! Do these reporters know anything?

@anthonychin1873 true, Izium was not well protected. Also, would be interesting to know to what degree Lyman is a victory, i.e. how much cannon fodder did Ukraine throw into the meatgrinder? Glad you find it comical. Adolf.

@anthonychin1873 it is quite common for people who don't grasp a certain reality to react with laughter, so no surprise you find my words comical. if you want to point out any inaccuracies in what I say, please do...but then again, that would demand understanding of what is happening in Ukraine.

@verdebusterAP ok, now the truth, in Boxing analogies. Russia has gone into this fight with NATO/Ukraine with flexibility and caution. NATO/Ukraine was distracted in round one with some big Russian punches that took away 20% of NATO/Ukraine's energy, and NATO/Ukraine was just relieved to get through the round, battered and bruised. From round two on Russia kept gradually wearing NATO/Ukraine down while minimizing expending energy, knowing that such tactics worked well in the last bout against Syria. Here in Round 8, despite a lot of shouting from NATO/Ukraine that a massive counter attack would happen, it hasn't. How Russia will decide to win the last 4 rounds is still up for debate, but it doesn't rely on some magic energy bar supplied by the corner, it has all the tools at its disposal to win. it is just a matter of when the NATO/Ukraine corner throws the towel in. In the previous round NATO/Ukraine threw all punches they could muster and landed one, that grazed the temple. Exhausted NATO/Ukraine now just begging for a miracle to survive the next 4 rounds....but even then the judges' decision will go against them.

@usul573 when losses are low, Zelensky and co are happy to trumpet their losses. they announce losses regularly. it's Russia that doesn't mention losses.

@ssglbc1875 could well have been a turkey shoot for Russian forces in retreat and for Russia's long range artillery. Gotta a feeling Ukrainian losses have been massive in all offensives.

@jjoejones1 it is certainly hard work to try and make deluded fools who gobble up Western media reports to see the real big picture, but it's my passion to shine the light of truth on the situation in Ukraine. I have fond memories of the place, and some shocking ones too.

@calisto2735 there was no running. the retreat started days before any Ukrainians started moving through Kharkov oblast. I can't help you if you can't grasp the notion of inflicting horrendous losses on an advancing army while withdrawing. Probably it is one of many concepts you are incapable of grasping.

@jjoejones1 conspicuous by its absence, any explanation of why the Syrian analogy is a bad one.

@jjoejones1 If you want a Western source on Ukraine's horrendous losses in these offensives, read what the WP said on the Kherson offensive

@jjoejones1 I provided you with logic. There's a paucity of facts available to the public in war. Neither you nor I have any idea of the death count on either side. What you and I do have are Ukrainian pronouncements on the their death counts, off and on, throughout this conflict. The Ukrainian claims of death counts can be as high as a thousand a week (when they are desperate for more handouts from the West), and as "low" as about a hundred a week, when they want to convince the world things are going well. Lately, there has been a notable silence from Ukraine on its death counts from its counter offensives. Logic dictates that means its high. Washington Post and New York Times, both rabid supporters of the Ukraine cause, have printed articles on the startlingly high Ukrainian death count. On the other hand, talking of paucity, you have offered NOTHING at all to refute my logic. But, go ahead, where is my analysis wrong? am in no hurry

@marksages1691 So all supplies coming from Belgorod can still be offloaded before the train gets to Liman, correct?:) and please tell, before Liman was captured, did the Ukrainians let Russian supplies go by rail through Ukrainian held territory to Donetsk city?,

@marksages1691 from Belgorod to where?
