    As of yesterday, it’s been 2 months since the beginning of Ukraine’s offensive. Since then, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been able to capture an area of around 360.49KM^2, or around 0.02% of Russian controlled area. This came at a cost of extreme losses. Ukraine lost around 20% of the weaponry Ukraine sent to the battlefield, according to U.S. and European officials in just the first two weeks. While western media doesn’t report personnel losses, it’s pretty clear they must be in many thousands given stunning loss of equipment Ukraine has suffered.

    Pentagon, and NATO, have put a deadline on the Armed Forces of Ukraine for September-November time-range for them to achieve significant results in terms of territorial gains. The west has already threatened to reduce support when they fail.

    It seems like we are slowly but surely approaching the end of the narrative here.

      This is so tragic. The west did this to Ukraine before and these fucks have invited them again. All through the 90s, the IMF or World Bank would give a loan, then refuse to pay a tranche unless Ukraine made deeper and deeper cuts. Then one or the other would offer a loan to cover the interest, so the next time they needed to borrow money, they had to borrow enough to cover the second, third, etc, loan; all the while, the bigger the loan, the worse the terms and the deeper the terms.

          Indeed. It’s the ghoulish neolib fucks that are to blame. They’re as willing to sacrifice Ukrainians as are NATO.

      Can you get me sources for the amount of area recaptured? I got a lib saying Ukraine has recovered over 1/3 of territory lost.
