@Henry Becker The Russian victory in Mariupol took several months, but you expect the Ukrainians to be at the gates of Kherson within a few days or a week or two? OK. 🤣😂😅🤣😅 At least give it several weeks and see how things are going before declaring this offensive a failure.

@Levon_RnD I don't know where are you from but you must be a citizen of some country an ally of the US. That's why you don't see "tonnes of evidence". I live in Canada and that's the good thing about the internet. You don't need to listen to the media and you can look for info for yourself and so far there hasn't been huge amounts of info coming out that says that this offensive that just began was a success or failure. I don't know why people are so quick to come to conclusions for something that just started because its just plain dumb. That's how you end up with the assessment at the beginning of the invasion where nearly everyone was sure that the Russians would overwhelm and crush UA forces within a couple of weeks and look at how stupid that sounds now. Also I don't know why you're surprised that there are casualties during an attack? That's the nature of war since the beginning of human conflict and the best you can hope for is keeping casualties down while gaining as much territory as you can. If you're unwilling to take any casualties then you minus will just surrender instead of continuing to fight.

@jimmyjams9036 Russia can only gain ground slowly because of their lack of manpower. Russians are clearly lacking equipment as well when they haven't launched any major armored offensive since the Kiev retreat and they've never been able to gain air superiority over Ukraine since the beginning of the war. Also if the Ukrainians feel they can launch a significant offense with a good chance of gaining some ground back then it doesn't hurt to try. Apparently they feel they have the training, organization and enough equipment to launch an attack, so lets see in the coming weeks if their beliefs were well placed or not.

@Pao234_ Luckily for the Ukrainians that first month or two where the Russians made their biggest mistakes was where they lost a ton of equipment that could be so valuable to them now. All the tanks, other vehicles and various weapons systems that they lost early on either destroyed, abandoned, captured etc. have come back to hurt them ever since. We haven't seen a major armored offensive from the Russians ever since the Kiev retreat and its why they're reduced to fighting WWI style with little ability to exploit any openings in the enemy lines that they might have created. Also the arrival of M777s, HIMARS and other foreign artillery has brought back some parity against the Russians where the Ukrainians can lose out on quantity of fire in exchange for much better accuracy. Especially with HIMARS and the striking of Russian supply dumps, if they can keep that up especially during this offensive, the Russians are going to have a hard time to continue fighting effectively when they're running out of ammo.

@linming5610 If this guy wants to be objective then he should look at as many different sources for info as possible both pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian and get a better perspective of what each side is saying and understand that probably the truth is somewhere in the middle. I'm hoping the Ukrainians can kick the Russians out of their country all the way, but I still look at sources from both sides to see what each is saying. This advance is a good example of that. At first there were some reports from Ukrainian/western sources that UA forces were making good progress a couple of days ago. OK that might be completely accurate or it might not. Then people checking Russian sources started seeing the same information and so it became clear that indeed the Ukrainians were making good progress because if pro-Russians people are saying similar things to pro-Ukrainian sources then its most likely to be accurate. That's what people should be doing if they truly want to know what to believe and what not to believe.

@GeneralDiamondSlayer 'Wasting experienced troops'. That's the nature of war where no matter what you do you're going to be losing soldiers.

@Levon_RnD I guess we'll see in a couple of weeks if what you say is true or not. Its not like there's tons of hard info from credible sources to back up everything you're claiming. I mean what's the point of saying Ukrainian offensive is a failure just after a couple of days with relatively little info coming out? Are you going to be coming back here in a few weeks when they've made good progress or are at the outskirts of Kherson? I doubt it. I don't believe overly optimistic Ukrainian news just as I don't believe overly optimistic Russian news. I want accurate information and so far there's only been a few pieces here and there with no overall accurate picture of a battle that is going back and forth right now.

@samk2266 So you say the Russians aren't lacking manpower and yet they're getting other people to do the fighting for them. Makes sense. LOL Why aren't more Russians getting into the fight since its their government that wanted this invasion?

@samk2266 From what I've read many people in the LPR/DPR voted for more autonomy and independence from Ukraine, but NOT to start a shooting war with them. That was the work of Russia coming in and interfering and now that they're losing a large number of troops they're pressing LPR/DPR people into the war to fight for them. And once they're signed up and pressed into service, they're thrown into the fight first to take the most casualties.

@samk2266 and Ukarine signed onto the Minsk Agreements -which required them to withdraw from the LPR&DPR, so why didn't they? The agreement also stated that all foreign fighters/mercenaries needed to leave the territory of Ukraine and obviously the Russians didn't abide by that as they continued to remain in Ukrainian territory supporting the DPR forces. Both sides likely violated the agreement, but I don't see you criticising the Russians/separatists for their part in keeping the conflict going instead of seeking to abide by the agreement reached. They had been shelling it and killing civilians since then so the people there know that the only way to get out from under that is too push the Ukrainians out of the DPR so they're not in artillery range The Ukrainians wouldn't be shelling anything if the Russian backed separatists didn't resort to violence to get what they wanted even though the majority of people in DPR/LPR didn't want armed conflict to solve things.
