>>512146204 (OP)
It was a feint. Russia was hoping Ukraine gets scared about losing Kiev and agree to their terms (giving up the four eastern territories). It didn't work, so they had to get out of there as they didn't have the forces to maintain a territory that large.
They did the same shit in Georgia in 2008 but Georgia cucked out and signed the ultimatum.

>>512147220
shut the fuck up you tranny loving nigger

>>512146204 (OP)
no, they never really occupied it, and they didn't have enough forces to defend it. Once Ukraine decided to fight the obvious choice was to retreat back to safety and get ready to slug it out.

>>512146204 (OP)
In the north their logistics broke down, so they had to retreat.
At Harkiv they weir line was broken, so they had to retreat to reduce the potential for getting forces cut off.
At Kherson, they could have put up a fight, but managed to retreat successfully and used the forces to block the Ukrainians in the Zaporozhia.
So no. They did not have any other option.

>>512146204 (OP)
“Mistake” implies it was a choice, it wasn’t , from a military standpoint it was a force retreat.

>>512146204 (OP)
Withdrawing from the blue areas was the right call as Russia didn't have the logistic support to hold them during the counteroffensive.

Ukraine not going to the negotiating table after the counteroffensive was also a mistake, as it is the only point in this entire war where Ukraine had a clear and overwhelming momentum in its favor (and therefore a position of strength from which to negotiate and minimize it's ultimate losses).

Ukraine no longer has that momentum, and at this point all Russia has to do is keep grinding away to get whatever it is they're willing to settle for.

- we say no
- usa make some stupid pr stunt
- we ignore it
- out of frustration usa comes back to Putin and asks him "what do you even want?"
- Putin repeats the things he wants (the same ones from 2023)
- americans answer lmao. No but really what do you want?
- the thing we just told you

Ukraine had too many forces all over the place. Their travel to kiev didnt involve securing areas so they had a lot of enemies all around them. They also only sent im only about 200k soldiers. That is a large force but they were spread out over the entire south and eastern part of the country so while big chunks were taken and secured the areas closer to kiev were too chaotic to hold.

Oh, yeah, I remember how in January 2022 the Ukrainians were driving through Donetsk daily pulling the legs off babies and throw them to dogs. Yeah, that was a great reason to invade.
Because in 2021 there were 10 deaths to the civil conflict, and most of them were mines left by Igor.

>>512152844
they just get humiliated by goat fuckers.

>>512152963
Hey fatty why dont you shut the fuck up. This war has been going on since 2015 and the Donbass is going to be free from you and your anti white governments.

>>512153216
there are millions of good reasons to invade and if by some magic trick your country would be on the place of Russia you would have destroyed all of ukraine by now.

>>512152983
you should read what the Istanbul accords stated, aka russia giving up everything in Donbass and lease Crimea from Ukraine for 100 years or so. Monke would love to capitulate and he is doing the maximum damage to Russia possible short of being so treasonous that a reaction in the armed forces against him becomes inevitable.

>>512150740
>Russia didn't have the logistic support
>Why didn't they?
because they're retards and keep doing the same thing for decades. Their supply lines were too long and they didn't expect any serious resistance. Oh, and they failed to take and hold the Hostomyl airfield, where they were planning to land the big planes with the assault brigades on "keeiiff-in-three-days".

the elite units took the blue sections you dingus. that implies the ukranians were decimated.

>>512146204 (OP)
No, the mistake was getting there in the first place, thinking Monke can pull off Gruzia 2.0. Second mistake was waiting for mobilization, allowing ZSU to outnumber them by more than 3:1 during 2022.

What they had to do was to focus Kiev and Kherson task forces at Kharkov. Kharkov fuck up was arguably the greatest one of the war, because they had chance to use element of strategic surprise to capture this major city.

>>512153359
>on the place of Russia you would have destroyed all of ukraine by now
and that is exactly what Russia should have done in 2022 and should do now. And by 'destroy' it's just means winning the war. Ukraine would be saved by an integration into the RF, exactly the opposite of a 'destruction'. But monke doesn't want any of the above, he keeps talking about the sacrality of Ukrainian statehood while torrents of russian soldiers blood are shed.

>>512153564
Even with the supply of arms its become clear their government is fracturing. Money will only get you so far. None of ukraines "allies" actually expect it to survive as none of them really have a foundation for reconstruction they just kind of brush it off as we will get to it.

>>512153646
The elite units didn't get home in most of those sections. Because the Ukrainians routed and destroyed them.
it took from March 2022 to June of 2023 to get any constiuant force for Russia. Literally what saved Russia in the south was 40 year olds putting down unthinking mines, and a few helicopters.

>>512151318
>ordered the troops to go back to Belarus
>the greatest treason
nope, the russian columns stretched sometimes 30-40 km and were being decimated on the march by the mobile Ukrainian units and drones. pootin had no other choice, but to run back with whatever was left. The resistance was everywhere and the russian generals didn't plan for it. But look who's in charge.

>>512153782
lol, you guys are going to get secondary sanctions, and your friends will be tested, to say the least.
and then, if that doesn't stop Putin from making more ignorant demands of the bodies of Russian boys, it will be BRRRT.

>>512153819
odd then that they pulled back? VDV took losses but to say deimated is not true. they had the blue eareas under control for a bit until forces began piling up towards them.

It’s a cunning plan. While we distract you all by hurling cube troopers into the WW1 tier pile of meat all the while we have been secretly plotting to find a passage north east via cambodia to sneak up on you. We call this the back passage plan, it’s Putin’s.

>>512153835

you need to be 18+ to post here. if you take hohol propaganda at face value you are functionally a child and you should not write here anyway.

>>512153742
Russia had some really retarded Asiatic generals at the start and it took them getting their ass pounded by drones to put white people in charge and turn things around.
How many generals of worth has Tuva ever produced? no one of any real historical note.
So they did the smart thing and pulled back to defensive lines while they got their shit together and fix all the damage done after the DEI hires ran their supply columns into ambushes and counter attacks.

>>512153819
Thats the propaganda version.

Problem with the propaganda version is that if it was true, we would see 4 digits worth of Russian corpses and prisoners during exchanges. However Ukraine was only capable of producing around 350 corpses throughout 2022.
Second problem with the propaganda version is that rather than slow grind with encircled pockets and fall back lines, the Russian retreats happened in span of hours, indicating well organized (maybe even coordinated with enemy) retreat.

>>512153564
But in essence he is right. Putin did not expect that the EU lacks sovereignty so much that they would intervene for Ukraine on the orders of the US, because independent states would choose to preserve their economies. The plan was for a military operation in 1-4 months.
The problem with the Russian Army Headquarters is that they assume that their opponents are not complete idiots. It is like with the Kursk region - no one in their right mind assumed that the hohols were so crazy as to attack - it would have been guaranteed to be a huge meat grinder for them (which is what happened), so there were only a few border guards on the border and that was it.
>>512147554
>They did the same shit in Georgia in 2008 but Georgia cucked out and signed the ultimatum.
Georgia physically had no army left. So it's a different situation.

if we go by propaganda numbers ukraine has apparently killed something like 1.4 million and injured probably like 3 million. so....the russian army is about what 1.2 million? they've apparently destroyed it 3x over. this is how stupid some of this propaganda is.

>>512154154
Anon, from what I see, Ukraine is dropping hundreds of Russians for a few Ukrainians in trenches. Then they drop back, and do it again. And again. And again.

The narrative was that in the north, on the Oskyl, it's 66 to 1, the Russians are being forced to charge open fields.
That clearly wouldn't match all fronts, but if it's even 1/5th of that everywhere else, this is not at all what the map is showing.
>>512154250
I would like to say, for the sake of the poor bastards you're sending forward, you don't actually believe that Ukraine is resisting because Europe said so.

You're ignoring that Russia does a twice year conscription, and after the Duma claimed those oblasts, every soldier in the nat guard as conscript can be in Ukraine, "lawfully."

No. They didn't have the men to hold the areas at the time. They had no intention of holding the land at all initially. They thought it would be two weeks, the Ukrainians would agree to the terms, and it would all be over.
Now they do have the men, and they are now going to kill or maim all of the Ukrainian men between the ages of 20 and 60.

Problem with "what you see" is that its contradicted by empirical evidence.

This year Russia is capable of coming up with thousand ZSU corpses per month. Why wasn't ZSU capable of coming up with the same number throughout the first year?

>>512154017
you need to be with IQ higher than yours to understand what actually happened. the russians failed at their blitz because they didn't count on any Ukrainian resistance. And yes, their trucks, and tanks, and BTRs were running out of fuel along the way and were easy pickings for the Ukrainians. Remember how Napoleon's 600,000 army was stretched along the Old Smolensk road for a 100-120 km and was constantly harassed by the mobile russian units and was sustaining heavy losses? That's what happened to the invading russian columns in Ukraine.

In Russia they conscript at least yearly for the Nat Guard. If you don't know that, you're on the wrong page.

>>512154589
Mmm, good propaganda. Conscripts are not sent to the front and very rarely to the rear - they will have to be paid according to combat standards. And if they die? That's still a lot of money to pay. And there's no benefit from them.
Rosgvardiya sits in the rear.

Yes. The entire russian (pro) army were wiped out a very long time ago. They do refill ranks you know, but with awd’ gonks.
The 1,000,000 mark was dithered over with ukraine saying “a million dead russians” and pro russia salties saying, lol, “nooo! Only 750,000” and that went on for ages. Now even pro russian sources said 1 million dead russians about 6 weeks back.
You can gripe but who the fuck are you. Some bollywood brainwashed unwashed plop jocky or seething chinese rat chasing liar? It makes no difference to anything what you would like to claim.

That's easy, it's a nat guard conscript who was threatened with attacking across open fields with a 1948 AK-47 and a box of matches on his last day of service.

>>512154998
Hes kinda correct. Russians initially plowed in with 0 resistance and then their over extended spearheads and exposed supply lines stated taking heavy attrition due to not doing fucking recce and not fucking securing the territory they passed through.

Russians did not defeat ZSU in those blue areas and neither did ZSU destroyed VSRF units in the blue areas. Russians just realized they fucked up and ran away.

>>512155082
>In Russia they conscript at least yearly for the Nat Guard.
Conscripts in Rosgvardiya are not Rosgvardiya. This is training after which they offer to sign a contract and it is also the police. The tasks of conscripts in Rosgvardiya are to complement the police.
If you don't know that, you're on the wrong page.

oh they took losses there isnt a doubt ukraine did ambush them and the initial ambush was probably their biggest loss in the war, but the blue areas were secured at a point so the ambush forces were defeated. the forces in western ukraine though far outnumbered them and support lines were shaky as you can see on the map they didnt set any supply up in large areas.we're talking about an inital force of around 200k against what ukraine claims was a million active service men.

No, you retard. Nothing was "taken". It was an army on the march and that's how far it advanced. You see how thin most of those lines are? The russians didn't even have updated maps and didnt even have all the side roads on their maps ... they didn't defeat shit. The Ukrainian forces retreated from some areas to regroup and to counterattack the russians at their most vulnerable positions. The russians didn't know the areas they were in, so the mobile Ukrainian forces, who knew areas well could strike and vanish, while russians stayed on the main roads, due to not even having maps.

Nothing was secured. It was entirely porous.

>>512156047
Ukrainians started with integrated drone recce in their mechanized units. Out of Russian units, only LDNR militias would use drones for recce and coordination at the start. Zaluzhniy did a good job there, credit where credit is due.

The grenade dropping was just harassment. However Redditors think it was huge, because "they have seen lot of videos".

>>512146204 (OP)
Ultimately, the main goal is to completely destroy the Ukrainian army, rather than trying to hold on to any territory at any cost. the control of the territories itself does not solve any problems, Ukraine's supply comes entirely from the west, so the Ukrainian army will not lose anything from the loss of some lands, but they hold on to them at all costs for fear that the West will begin to reduce support if they start losing ground in an attempt to save manpower, but this also plays into their hands Russia, which greatly simplifies the destruction of the Ukrainian army

just a question, how often have you dodged mortar fire in your life?

>>512156047
Those Turk drones really fucked you up at the start but there are three events that stand out to me.
When the Russian Airforce introduced glide bombs.
When Gerans were introduced enmasse and hohol volunteers from America were shooting at the sky with AKs trying to bring them down
And Lancets killing all of the NATO equipment that they sent into Ukraine.

>>512156202
All of Bayraktars ZSU had at start were destroyed during the first week of fighting.

Quite ironic, because these Turkish fuckers were a major reason behind escalation that led to the war.

>>512151276
and?

>>512156398
There is only piss deal. It's not even clear what Trump wants.

>>512156572
oh, gosh. no keychain Bayracktars guys. no triple awarded Bayracktar frames flying around with the destroyed legs of Russian as a tally.
well, guess that means they were just propaganda.

>>512156506
most of the wagner group were ex military from syria so they likely didnt have infrastructure or training for it. they were quick to catch up and even surpass though as now they have jet engine powered drones. ukraine is still stuck on the shitty switchblade drones.

>>512156553
they didn't do anything special. They did damage, but nothing close to critical. There were much more problems from the usual small detachments that constantly attacked supply lines, and the road to Kiev is just one road and steppes.

>>512156553
>Those Turk drones really fucked you up
Lol, no. There were VERY few Bayraktars to have any global impact. But the mass drone war of the late period is really a pain in the ass.
new face of war. I don't think it's possible to invade a country with mountains and jungles and win without total genocide.

>>512156834
you also took in a bunch of refugees and agents entered with them which caused issues.

That's right. We need to ensure to everybody the correct way of spelling Ukraine's cities, because Ukraine is the shield of Europe against the illegal invasion that Russia is committing. Slava Ukraini!

It is possible just go back to using chemical warfare to clear out strong points, white liberals will cry but it will save more lives.

>>512156484
that's the areas from which the russians didn't "withdraw due to any negotiations in Istanbul", they were kicked out by Ukrainians by mid fall. We're talking about the russian "good will retreat" in early March 2022 here.

>>512157136
the new release of hypersonic missiles by jet has given good results it killed several instructors from nato as it makes the missile appear out of thin air inside ukraine so they dont have time to get into shelter.

im almost positive US had forces already stationed in ukraine for it

>>512157193

I dont understand what are you trying to convey, but there is no doubt that the drones failed against Russian AD.

>>512157136
>It is possible just go back to using chemical warfare to clear out strong points, white liberals will cry but it will save more lives.
Cheap Chinese drones can be controlled by civilians, get it? Guerrilla warfare will now be even more nightmarish than before.
Objectively, USA wouldn't last a year in Afghanistan now.

>>512157295
anon the thread, I'll remind you, is "Was withdrawing from the blue a mistake?"

>>512157509
the conversation was claiming what they took and what forces came out on top in the blue areas. either you arent following or i dont know anymore.

>>512157397
Okay you mean after you clear an area the civilians will just use them as an insurgent weapon.

>>512146204 (OP)
>They thought it would be easy and the enemy would do x
I feel like I hear this a lot when reading about war. Pretty dumb mistake to keep making. How about hope for the best but prepare for the worst? Then again maybe there's more to the story and that's just how it's always explained to make opponents look stupid.

>>512146204 (OP)
Not doing the partial mobilization in early March or early April at the latest was a mistake when it became clear the war would go on and the Kiev assault had failed and Ukraine refused to make a deal. Men were needed to strengthen the defenses in Kharkov region. Retreating from Kherson and Kharkov was militarily sound though given their shortages of manpower at the time.

>>512157911
No, it was literally the entire Russian media telling the same narrative. Ukraine doesn't even want to exist, it's a decadent west's lie that Ukraine wants anything but Muscovites in charge. The few who are resisting will quit as soon as we show up.
imo, the Kremlin did not understand Maidan.

>>512152889

there will be no winners. both countries will be ground down until the war just fizzles out. there will be no parades or celebrations.

All Rustards had to do was cut off Poland while the west were busy vaxmaxxing.

>>512146204 (OP)
Northern areas were not cleared at all, but merely passed - it was impossible to stay there even if they wanted.
Southern area had to withdraw because of hohols blowing the dam and bridges - so not really a choice either.
Eastern area was traded for Donetsk water supply, which was a right thing to do.

>>512154838
There' s no good reason that 1:3 defensive advantage doesn't hold. Surely drones are making this even worse for offensives.
They're near peer adversaries. I don't think either side are doing a good job here. There's been a huge lack of gamechanging events. It's just trench spam.

Russia win in the long run, but the cost is fucking huge. Pyyrhic as fuck, which is bad for Ukraine, but laughably good for NATO.

>>512158778
The guy is asking me why Russian commanders aren't sending dead home.
I can tell him it's because they've mass graved Donetsk area and are collecting the pay-packets of the dead. He won't believe me anyway.

>>512157397
Shit's going to get fucking nasty. It's almost like the stirrup being invented, as it allows practically anybody to cover huge terrain and have firepower.

It's not impossible that Ukraine just collapses and has millions of military drones hanging around. Combined with mystery meat pakis everywhere, you could just launch AI assisted drones endlessly and get away with it.

>>512158778
Pyrrhic is not really the correct wording here, as Russian army will emerge from the conflict stronger than when it started. But yea, the cost is huge for them and the gains will be...Ukraine which is a shithole that's not going to pay for itself for decades.

Russians already lost by the time Zelenski refused to negotiate, they had no good scenario from now on; just taking poor shitty land that they will have to subsidize.

>but laughably good for NATO
NATO? Its very good for the Americans, but very bad for Europe.

>>512159224
I don't mean to doubt Russian will, obviously at this point that's a mistake.
Russia, in ground capacity, is effectively at the point of hoping nobody to their south organizes a serious incursion. I'm semi-shocked Georgia hasn't taken Ossetia.

>>512146204 (OP)
No. The Russians didn't have sufficient forces to hold those territories. Kharkov for example was held by small numbers of poorly organized rebel militias, the UAF could take the city with just two infantry brigades. Only in autumn 2022 Russia started mobilizing and mass-training new personnel and only in 2023 the Russian forces grew strong enough to deploy regular combat troops on the entire frontline. And only when the Ukrainian attempt to take more Russian land in the 2023 summer offensive ended in a catastrophic defeat for the Ukrainian invaders, the Russian positions could be described as sufficiently secured.

Holding land is pointless, exhausting enemy supplies, sapping their will to fight and killing their men is all that matters.

Holding on those lands Russia would had to face insurrections, terrorism, overextension and an intact army that only had to retreat eastwards.

Now you have a depleted nato, several european governments in jeopardy, a financially unsustainable Ukraine and terabytes of media to teach other shitholes like Taiwan what happens when you become a proxy.

Russia can easily drag this for another 10 years dissolving both EU and NATO in the process just because they didn't hold on all that land.

>>512159632
You think they bought it, island homo?

>>512159224
>Russians already lost by the time Zelenski refused to negotiate

Russians failed to defeat ukraine with their bluff blitz but now they are defeating Nato in this hybrid war.
This war is going to be viewed as a huge humiliation for Nato.
The EU armies are largely without equipment and their economies are decaying without cheap Russian energy and the US is now openly raping Europe.Meanwhile Russia re emerged as a continental military superpower.
