RT: Ukraine's counteroffensive has 'failed' – Putin 

Kiev’s forces haven’t managed to break Russian lines despite ten days of “violent attacks,” MOD chief Sergey Shoigu added Ukraine’s ongoing counteroffensive has not “stalled” but failed, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared on Monday. 

With Ukrainian losses mounting and Kiev ramping up its conscription efforts, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu affirmed his commander-in-chief's assessment. The Ukrainian operation “is not stalled; it is a failure,” Putin declared, following talks with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in the resort city of Sochi.

As to what is my take. 

It is true that the Ukraine offensive did not produce the quick results that many Western military pundits were predicting at the beginning, nor has there been a collapse of the Russian lines. But I also think it is premature at the current moment to say that it has failed.

If it hasn't failed in 3 months after minimal gains and horrific losses, when does it fail? I mean this is sad

Ukraine's offensive has gone better than Russia's offensive of winter and spring in Bakhmut earlier this year. Littleboy won't acknowledge it.

You are not being truthful here. This offensive is about as futile as one of the first world war.


It is about as successful as Ypres.

Yes or Vietnam. We can see the light arpt the end of the tunnel.

We needed time to adapt our tactics to Russian methods(love that one)
Getting to the Sea of Axov? Who said that was our goal.

All we need to do is interdicted the road and rail lines

Wait till next week when the neocons say....some other kind screw bullshit, like:

the offensive has been safe and effective,😂😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️
