i'm pretty sure "summer offensive" was a western talking point

russia seems content with slowly moving forwards, as they've chosen the war of attrition path

>Is the Russian Summer Offensive failing
No, it's just getting started!

>>509802836 (OP)
there seems to have been an attack north of sumy that was stopped a couple days ago after inital success but don't know if that was their "big plan"

overall i think what
>>509803302
says is true - no "big offensives"

>>509803638
nothing will habben doughebit

>>509802836 (OP)
When have the media ever been wrong?

>>509803302
That's still pathetic, this would be like the USA losing a war of attrition against Guatemala.

>>509804684
i don't think russia is losing, since they're taking and have taken land (about 20% of ukraine). they'd need to be pushed out of ukraine to lose.

ukraine is quite a capable force, and at their height, would beat any european country or the uk.

>>509804684
No, it would be like Mexico, and with the rest of the world arming them to the teeth.

Guatemala's population is 18 million to the U.S.'s 340 million. Ukraine's population is nearly a third of Russia's.

>>509804837
Shut the fuck up. Ukrainians are all fucking burglars and car part thieves here in California.

>>509804877
Holy fucking shit imagine invading Mexico. That whole entire goddamn country is drowning in nightmare fuel

cartels would be a spanglish themed vietcong horror

:D
WE ARE SO FUCKING HAPPY LOSING RETARDED AMOUNTS OF MEN AND EQUIPMENT, THRASHING OUR ECONOMY FOR THESE FEW KM OF NOTHING LAND

Contentment is abundant in russia, that's why they're all so incredibly happy over there

Media hasn't gotten one thing right. I believe the big battle around Pokrovsk proper will start taking place late August

>>509802836 (OP)
yea pretty much, didnt got any strategic city, only desolated fields but if they can threaten the supply lines to pokrovsk or chasiv yar all the suffering would have been for something since then they can just chjill the winter there raping any supply

>>509804684
no, ucraine is the biggest army of europe, it would be like getting bogged down against brazil or mexico .

>>509802836 (OP)
there is no russian offensive. they said there was just to be able to say it failed.

>i'm pretty sure "summer offensive" was a western talking point
Almost every "failed plan" Russia has had in this war was made up by western media or officials.
3 day war? An US general came up with that.
Same for summer offensive in 2024 and now in 2025.
Neither Putin, nor Lavrov nor Shoigu nor anyone of actual military or executive importance in Russia has ever made any statement regarding Russian offensives.

If you're lucky you might find something on Russian media, including Russian State media, but it's not like Putin is personally writting scripts for every journalist in Russia. Unless it's an official military or goverment document, it's meaningless.

But the funny thing is that, despite no official offensive, Russia is still gaining land every single day.

>Barroso said he asked Putin if Russian troops had crossed into eastern Ukraine, La Repubblica reports. “That is not the question,” Putin reportedly said. “But if I wanted to, I could take Kiev in two weeks.”

Russia is mobilizing 60,000 reserves a month compared to Ukraine’s 24,000-30,000. In a war of attrition it’s only a matter of how long Ukraine can hold
