  1. ​​ @yourdeath1654  during the Kharkiv offensive the only reason why Ukraine succeded was numerical superiority. Russia started the war, using only volunteers among contract army, and Russia have been fighting without moblization until october 2022. So Ukrainians simply pushed with numerical superiority the least important sector of the frontline. Most land was given to Ukrainian army without a fight, because Russians were concerned of encirclements, and most land was simply given to Ukraine after retreat without a fighting. Ukraine won simply due to the numerical superioeity and Russia leaved the territory without a fight. At now, after Russia declared mobilization, Ukraine don't have any numerical superiority, so Ukrainian offensive would be a failure. Russians left Kherson because they didn't had supplies. The bridges across the river were blown. So, to save the lifes of soldiers, Russians conducted an organized retreat, leaving the territory without a fight. River also is a good defensive position. So, land fighting in this region ended.

  2. ​ @yourdeath1654  Why is Ukraine on the defensive, can you tell me? What prevented the Ukrainians from continuing their victorious march after they recaptured Kharkov in September? Why did the Ukrainian offensive stop in October? Is it because, because Russia has begun mobilization, and in equal conditions, worthless Ukraine is not capable of conducting offensives?

  4.  @yourdeath1654  "The West is not interested in defeating Russia quickly." What's the point in dragging it out? Couldn't you come up with a dumber excuse?

  7.  @ldk_User  I don't think so. Ukraine always have manpower - the country is under martial law, the war is ongoing. Russia is the country that have problems with recruitment of soldiers
