New York Times: Russia Retakes Some Land Hard Won by Ukraine During Counteroffensive
KYIV, Ukraine — Russia has recaptured land hard won by Ukrainian troops at the peak of their summer counteroffensive in the south, making progress around the southern village of Robotyne.
The situation has reinforced the war’s latest reality: With their counteroffensive stalled, Ukrainian troops are now on the back foot in many places. Besides Robotyne in the south, they are also struggling in the east, having all but retreated from the town of Marinka, officials said this week.
Deepening their challenges, Ukraine is increasingly worried that its military will not have the resources to keep up the fight. The United States announced Wednesday that it was releasing the last remaining Congress-approved package of military aid available to Ukraine.

WNU Editor: Thousands of Ukrainian soldiers were either killed or wounded when the counteroffensive to reclaim this territory was launched this summer. And now they are being pushed back. I still remember all the military pundits on US main stream media this summer predicting that the Russian Army would collapse in a few weeks. They were completely wrong. Sighhh .... what a waste.

What else is new. Only a matter of time before our Allies realize that the US can’t be relied on for nothing and that it’s a shell of its former self. The west is living in the hangover that was the last century of American greatness and dreams. The page in our book is turning
That is what happens when you listen to the pied piper of the progressive liberal and the siren's song of the NEOCONs.
Just go ask the Kurds, Hmong, Afghani's, and a lot of other dead men.
Everyone knew it would fail. Anyone with any reasonable logic could see that. It's as if they are working for their enemy
Too bad Chris, five eyes fazman, Skoda and the hanover crowd got de-funded .
Then they could come up with some nonsensical crap of how the editor is all wrong and a Russian spy.
They could also say that the posters above were all Russian trolls.
Well when congress comes back in January , and passes funding for ukies land, we will see if our info ops guys get funded.
WNU, the pundits weren't predicting anything. They are handed scrips to read and then blather on pontificating on the scrip. Its so easy to see when so many will be saying the exact same thing use the same words/phrases.
The pundits are selected because they have credentials that are important to the administrative state and they will read the scrips given to them.
Try your best WNU yout mother Russia needs that.
