>they took pretty much everything south east of pokrovsk. the area ukraine claimed to have like a day ago....
Yup, what the Ukraine supporters here don't want to accept is that a kotel like picrel where Russia can take their time bombing "elite" Ukrainian formations to paste suits Russia. Meanwhile every day Ukraine finds it harder and harder to have enough of everything, from Patriots to pensions to printer paper.
So their hysterical hurr durr RF isn't rolling across Ukraine so it loses ignores the fact that RF would much rather kill or maim any Ukrainian that wants to take up arms against it *before* making Ukraine capitulate rather than push for a quick victory over a population full of saboteurs and guerillas. Just see how placid DPR and LPR have been compared to, say, Iraq.
