Thats clearly propaganda. Everybode knows evil russia has lost over 7 trillion soldiers and putin has a stroke every other day
Russia doesn't exist, it's all Russian propaganda.
Worst of all? PUTIN GOT EMBARRASSED!!!1!!1!
Amazing how the commentary are calling this article a "Russia favouring article". Literally quoting the Ukrainian defense ministry is Russian propaganda now. Also, tons of coping in the article about how much Ukraine cares about it's troops but Russia does not.
It's hard for people to go from hearing how Ukraine is winning for two years to Ukraine is collapsing all of a sudden.
With Steiner's attack, that will be all right.
It seems there's news like this coming out every other week, yet fighting is still going on. Who is Russia fighting then? Can pensioners and children really hold the line hard enough to force an industrial power into a slow grind? Or are there NATO troops already there in mass quantities?
There is still a professional core of the AFU left, but the reason we're seeing collapse accelerating is precisely because a lot of the motivated soldiers have been attrited out over the past two years. It's also important to keep in mind that the strongholds that AFU holds have been prepared for many years. Russian strategy has been to attack all across the front which is forcing Ukraine to run their limited reserve to plug the gaps. Since there aren't enough troops to do that, we're seeing places like Avdievka fall when troops are pulled back to plug gaps elsewhere. I expect this process will continue for the next few months, but once these positions are lost there's nowhere for Ukraine to fall back to, and at that point the collapse will likely accelerate.
