  1. it is of no relevance whether the initial phase of an offensive is the hardest or not. The only relevance is if it succeeds. this one failed.

  2.  @adenoidhinkel34  more failures, yes.

  3. and now, the truth. there are no territorial gains, and Ukraine/NATO has sustained horrendous losses in men and weaponry. this guy Ledwidge is a liar and propagandist. Ukraine/NATO has not even broken through the Russian forward positions, and nothing has got anywhere near the first line of Russian defences. There is overwhelming video evidence showing Leopards and Bradleys destroyed. the offensive is a total failure.

  4. really promising? over 1000 men dead, weaponry destroyed, no territory gained, nothing has even got past these forward Russian positions! The Russians waiting at the FIRST defence lines have been twiddling their thumbs for a week!
