Artillery shells. Ukraine still has less of them than Russia. Russia out fires Ukraine by a good margin. Until Ukraine can reach at least parity, the counter offensive will be slow and painful.
Ukraine can’t and shouldn’t waste the lives of its soldiers. Russia has no problem doing so.
Western countries are ramping up the production of shells, but it takes time. Until that happens, don’t expect Ukraine to liberate its territory.
Not to mention Ukraine doesn’t want to just flatten a village with artillery
Flat village with no Russians > almost flat village with Russians
What’s wrong with your E key?
Perhaps English is his second language and Ukrain is how he spells it in his native language.
But then they use the e in the last sentence? I’m so confused.
Oh dang, I didn’t even see the final one. Not sure then. He has other e’s spread out through the text though so maybe just a weird affectation?
Autocorrect probably got confused. I use two languages and autocorrect on my phone messes up the spelling sometimes for similarly spelt words.
Don’t use mixed autocorrect. Its a mess. I always simply switch before typing.
No idea why Ukraine is somehow auto changing to Ukrain. Embarrassing.
Not just artillery shells, the Russians are far better equipped with anything air. The have way more and better planes and helicopters and way more AA. I’m just an armchair general but it’s insane to me that Russia can’t profit more from this.
God war sucks.
At some point I find myself almost wishing for terrorism, like sneak a few Ukrainians in over the Suny Oblast area border and blow up commercial buildings at night…
Then I remember that the whole thing breaks if Ukrainians start being as bad as Russia. (Not that it would be as bad as what they have done, but few people would support that)
I would support it. Make the average citizen of Russia feel as unsafe as the Ukranians feel. I’m not saying target civilians, but make it known you can. Russia isn’t playing by the rules. If Russia manages to crush Ukraine, will anyone sleep better at night going ‘At least Ukraine played fair’.
you guys are fucking crazy. ukrainian government knows there’s a very tangible and real possibility of defeat, or at the least concessions to russia during negotiations. do you really think it is in their best interests to let the kremlin make claims about ukrainian acts of terror during that stage?? like it or not, the world isnt some fucking equitable, fair fairy tale. russia has significantly more bargaining power here. they can afford ukraine making such claims, that doesn’t matter. on the flip side, ukraine cannot.
Thanks for a sane take on this. War isn’t tit for tat, war is incredibly unfair
Defenders always have home field advantage.
Basically means in war, if one side is attacking and one side is defending, the odds are in the defenders favor. As they can deploy mines, IEDs, traps, advance structural defenses, turrets, and ambushes locations.
Which is why it was so stupid to invade Ukraine in the first place and why it is going to be hard for Ukraine to take back territory.
Weird way to say they are losing.
Advancing slower than expected ≠ losing
Advancing slower than expected= winning. Got it.
Advancing in a defensive war is typically winning, yes.
Everybody loses in war.
Are you just saying random shit?
Kinda. There are other wars, in other countries. But we are spoon fed Ukraine and China. Just countering media narratives hopefully to make people question the paradigm. Why are people homeless?
What the fuck does this have to do with your original comment? Stay on topic.
So just useless whataboutism because people are rightfully pissed at the dictatorships of Russia and China, got it. Fuck off, tankie.
Weird, that’s not the sentiment you opened this conversation with at all.
just tokenboomer things
That account is all over the place.
Well that’s quite the course correction.
Hopefully russia doesn’t start any more wars after this one.
Who’s winning the Yemeni Civil War? Don’t know? Don’t care? Wonder why?
You’re definitely toking something and the replies prove it.
Anti war indo. It’s medicinal.
You know a stale mate is a possible state of war. One side doesn’t always have to be winning and the other losing.
