"some reports mention limited gains" = the offensive is a failure, as Russia is holding its forward positions, doesn't even need its defensive lines at the moment.

@hhKJgf1M8a0rzt8hP I have concluded that, one week into this offensive, there is not one single settlement that Ukraine has captured, and the forward Russian positions have held firm! Zelensky is silent because he can declare no success! If you were unbiased, you would conclude the same thing I have! Shoigu doesn't need any advice. BTW, where is Zaluzhny? who is leading the Ukrainian offensive?

@memofromessex dream on. the Ukronazis are getting massacred, Russian forward positions are holding, looking doubtful any Ukronazis will even make it to the FIRST Russian line of defence!

@hhKJgf1M8a0rzt8hP please explain the difference between a probing attack and an offensive. Zelensky says the offensive has started, 2 days ago.

@hhKJgf1M8a0rzt8hP as expected, you can't answer the question. Both Shoigu and Prigozhin are doing their jobs well. Prigozhin's demoralized, poorly trained convicts, armed with shovels, beat NATO trained battalions in Bakhmut, now Shoigu's boys are destroying NATO's finest weaponry. watch it and wring your hands in angst.

@hhKJgf1M8a0rzt8hP so Zelenski has been lying every day for months. nothing new there. just hilarious that he was finally forced to announce the offensive was happening because no one could tell if it was an offensive, given Russia's success.

@hhKJgf1M8a0rzt8hP glad you confirm that we should not believe anything Zelensky says. I don't vote and am not Russian anyway. I would say someone a bit more hawkish, like Medvedev, would wrap this conflict up quicker than Putin's patient strategy, but Putin used the same tactics in Chechnya and Syria and prevailed there too.
