Russia's offensive in the donbass hasnt stopped, ukraine had to pull troops from its southern flank just to muster enough men for this operation who are now very likely to be encircled, as far as demoralizing them, recruitment numbers have actually gone up, because when you invade russia, it tends to piss them off a wee bit, ask the last two who tried. Old Puttles doesnt need to throw ukraines forces back, they already call a quarter of Ukraine's territory prime real estate, after 2 years since the intervention the average draftee age of Russian conscripts is 24,where in Ukraine after 8 years of conflict the average draftee age is now 38, with russia still advancing in Donbass Ukraine has to both reform its defensive lines in the south while continuing to support its operation into Russia that's already cost the Ukrainians 2300+ casualties, 32MBT's, 28APC's, 19IFV's, so far theve captured 19 villages, failed to take the Kursk nuclear plant, both Khalino and Vostochny airbases have resumed flight operations since the attacks 8 days ago both against the Ukrainian in Kursk and supporting operations over the Donbass offensive.
This offensive in Kursk is no less of an act of desperation as the last offensive at Kursk, it's a waste of Ukrainians that were desperately needed in the south, the offensive had no strategic value, it's based on ludicrous Hope's that it would change russian morale to oust Putin. Did Barbarossa change russian morale? Or was Stalin such a good willed and loveable guy? How about Tsar Alexander? Boy howdy didnt the russians just run to topple his regime at the first sight of the Grande Armée? This was never going to work, Ukraine just gave the common Russian credence to everything theyve been told about ukraine since 2014, I really want to see Putin gone but I'm not living in the clouds, they should have asked for Field Marshal Manstien's opinion before mounting this offensive...

Ukraine had to pull troops from its defensive line in the Donbass to mount this offensive, weakening ukraines defenses in the region where russia is now taking 12km a day while meeting light resistance, in the north, Ukraine failed to capture the Kursk Nuclear Powr Plant, its attacks on Russia's airbases were ineffective, as both Khalino and Voronezh have resumed flight operations, Ukraine has overstretched itself now as it will have to support this offensive while struggling to make new defensive lines in the south, its political objective has failed, support for Putins war has only gained fervor as Russian news agencies are reporting mass evacuations and that the Ukrainians are committed atrocities against russian civilians in the kursk region, this has boosted recruitment for the russian army, the only thing that's hilarious is that anyone who wants to see Putin gone (me included) thinks that this was a good thing

@josephstarnes9554 they arent holding the line in Ukraine though, they're advancing while the Ukrainians have over 6000 men rooting for turnips in Kursk and that 500,000 number you keep throwing out over this page is the US State department's estimates of the overall casualties in the Ukraine conflict, both Russian and Ukrainian, which was reported as such by the New York Tmes, with Russian casualties being estimated around 140,000 killed and and 170,000 wounded, Ukraine is suffering a manpower shortage, the average draftee age in ukraine is almost double that of Russia's. Putlers grand strategy is working fine because it's a long game and they hold a quarter of ukraines board while having 3 times the amount of pawns, all they have to continue to do is run down the clock and ensure Ukraines casualty rate is higher than its recruitment rate while ensuring russias casualty rate is slower that its birthrate, Russia has time in the numbers, Ukraine doesnt, its has nothing to do with personal feelings or partisan politics, math is just cold, and ukraine never had the numbers to make the math work. Russia can continue to sustain casualties at the current rate for years to come, ukraine is struggling to get more recruits into the field now Ukraine's Attorney General stated that they suffer a severe manpower crisis to Ukranes national news network RIA Novosti and is why Zelensky wont authorize Ukraines actual casualty statistics, and that at least 30,000 should be added to the current estimates.
