Putin sucks. He's treating this war like his retirement hobby or something. Get a garden and leave those Ukrainians alone.

Would be splendid, they need this for morale ! But also : it’s their land GTFO Russia, you have enough land from which you can make something and have a wonderful life.
In the end Hitler also managed his army .. look how that ended. I think if Ukraine keeps this up a couple of months, things will look different.

Can someone ban Ionian's drivel from this thread please or mate take a 5min chill before hitting post ffs...
Seems to be a lot of chatter about the Ukrainains beginning an offensive in the South, has this been confirmed? are they actually on the attack?

I read on numerous trustworthy news sites international and national that it seems to be the case, Cherson seems to be the goal.

According to multiple Ukraine officials today is a significant day in terms of beginning the liberation of Kherson region, Armed Forces of Ukraine are ramping up their advances, I personally heard a lot of explosion in places where the Russian military used to keep their staff as well as storage units with ammunition.

It definitely feels like the tides of war have turned... it used to be about where russia was attacking, now it's about where ukraine is attacking.
Guess the logistical dismemberment done by the himars has disrupted the russian war machine.

The Russian War machine was in shambles before they even launched the invasion. It is still mind-blowing to me how badly they bungled this. I'm surprised Putin doesn't have the Kremlin adorned with military leaders heads on pikes.

That's because warehouse with pikes was empty.

I can imagine the permanent effect that it can have on people that were present there at that moment, poor people.

Fingers crossed this goes well for them, god knows the Ukrainians could do with a proper win and taking back this region means they can strangle Crimea's water supply again. If they pull this off it could begin the unraveling of the whole southern front

Whoa... this thread went places for a bit, huh?
What the hell is this... Russia is so bad at being bad. Looking forward to hearing about any additional push into occupied territory. Seems Sept/October will be the last of the season before things retrench with winter. Hopefully some real gains can be made before then.

Don't make fun of Russia's new 155mm next generation extended range water splashing artillery platform. They can easily splash water on any bridge from 1500km away.

Seems they decided they're done playing with their food and have pounced on the kherson oblast.

Losing Kherson would be felt on the Kremlin. With great force.
As a result the loss of Nova Kharkov is almost inevitable and that means no more fresh water for Crimea - another logistical problem. Speaking of Crimea, Kherson and Melitopol are the entrypoints into the peninsula - I strongly believe Kyiv intents to retake Crimea before attempting to retake Donbass and after Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Melitopol come next.

Hopefully Ukraine gains full control of it's rivers and eventually Crimea/Sevastapol warm-water ports, and deprive Russia of it's vital transport routes into the Black Sea > Bosporus > Med. Would be a huge card to hold in eventual negotiations and withdrawal from sovereign Ukrainian territory.

It will not and if Russia gets pissed they will just steamroll. Meanwhile…

I think you misunderstand the situation: Russia currently is getting pissed on and is in the process of steamrolling their defeat... Their invasion capabilities have been thwarted, its not a question of if, it's already happened and short of Russia pulling a god artifact that can counter western weaponry from their ass within the next few weeks/months or they can somehow convince the world they are the real good guys here and force a complete 180 on support then they are DONE. They will continue into these declining circumstances until their society bellies up or they have a change of heart before then.
As for the follow up article. I'm not at all concerned with Ukraine's economic futures, well no more than I am with the world's economy at present. They are receiving aid from most of the economic powerhouses and will be in a ok position to handle rebuilding after they roll Russia back into their hellhole. The same cannot be said for Russia.

Not quite the way things are going tho.
It's coming from reputable ukrainian tweets. 3 directions in Kherson, plus another direction in Zaporizhzhia. They also point out it's impossible to know success until tomorrow.
These users while obviously cheering for their own country, have generally reported good information.

Makes sense they've begun a proper counter offensive, they've been bombarding the absolute shit out of the cunts and utterly wrecked their supply lines, no relief, no food, no resupply and constant shelling should hopefully make them cave quickly, not to mention the supply of heavy weapons and precision munitions must've hit a critical point that's enabled this decision to attack, man it would be glorious if they just surrendered enmass, next few days will be nail biting

There was a time I could feel bad for the Ruzzians, but at this time:
They should be intelligent enough to look back at the PO shits who send them to die for nothing and go to them instead of the country they are invading.

Why would they not flee to the west?

My wife hasn't lived there for twenty years. But my mother in law got out of there a couple of months ago because we as many others predicted that there would be a dangerous push back at some time. But anyway, plenty of people there don't have the money to flee, the only way out is through Crimea to Georgia. And you would have to pay traffickers to take you that way.

Ukraine has ‘good chance’ to retake territory, U.S. assesses
Ukrainian officials announced the operation to liberate Russian-occupied territories in the country’s south on Monday, following weeks of counterattacks on towns in the Kherson region.

Is russia preventing Ukrainians from driving/walking into Georgia?

a) It's a long fucking way from Ukraine.
b) Most of Georgia's northern border are the two stolen puppet states (desperately poor as well).
c) I wouldn't put it past some Russian border guards being sadistic fucks if they have any excuse.
The border crossing at Kazbegi is open. It was only closed for passengers during covid. Anybody is free to cross as long as you can get there. It's around a 17h drive from Crimea. Most people take a train near the border and then drive across.

I didn't say the border isn't open, but it's still a long way across a country that has many people that now hate Ukrainians, to a border that could be closed on a whim.
