This examination of the lead-up to Ukraine’s counteroffensive is based on interviews with more than 30 senior officials from Ukraine, the United States and European nations. It provides new insights and previously unreported details about America’s deep involvement in the military planning behind the counteroffensive and the factors that contributed to its disappointments. The second part of this two-part account examines how the battle unfolded on the ground over the summer and fall, and the widening fissures between Washington and Kyiv. Some of the officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive deliberations

A fair amount of blame game going on.

I assume this will be ongoing as politics will play a big part in things in many different countries. I just hope more countries dont go the way of Slovakia. Good to see Germany step up hopefully others will follow, with Russia's latest 170,000 man additions bullets alone are needed as it seems Russia is attacking on all fronts with meat as equipment loses are harder to replace.

Everything comes down to Murica. Germany will get flaccid real fast if support from Washington dried up, which is not impossible if Trump is re-elected.

US arrogance is pretty off the charts.

Why aren't you using smoke screens to hide your advances?

Because KA-52 doesn't give a shit about no dumb ass smoke screens?
You know what KA-52 doesn't like? ATACMS reigning fire over airfields.
How many vehicles were taken out by helicopters? Easily 3 digits.


This is an artillery & drone war and they held and continue to hold back on the artillery.

Not entirely to blame though. Despite what people think Germany produces a lot of artillery shells per year. Rheinmetall is the biggest artillery shell producer in the world but they didn't have the balls to divert.

If Trump wins and decides to back Ukraine Putin is proper fucked.

Democrats aren't going to suddenly abandon their stance just because Trump gets elected.

The "MAGA" republicans will yield to their daddy in seconds.

Trump has a long history of fucking business partners in the ass.

Here's 70% of the money I agreed to pay. If you want more I'll drown you in lawyers and in 10 years you might get what you're owed.

trumps stupidity might wake up the whole of europe that they cant rely on the US and have to spend more. Huge loss of american influence.
 
This war will take longer thanks to congress an potentially giving Putin a huge win.

 
Change of pace story.

if he backs ukraine it will be because it strokes his ego, i cant see it.
 
Tomorrow Latvian support for Ukr might turn into Slovakia mode.
Nothing blocked and nothing given. Lawmakers will vote for budget 2024 th and if voting session will be positive they will push budget for 3 Rd voting session.
After this State Treasury should sign budget paper ...
These will be happy to sign budget with 0 cent for Ukr and 0 warrant letters signed so this will be quick process for few minutes to do job....
IF budget will be passed without assistance for Ukr, president will not be able to help more than .....to use emergency funds reserved and cos they does have " nice " flood sessions there it will be what it is.
Last bill with support for Ukr had just 53% votes........

Mainly minefields and mines to stop or at least slow down, artillery and mortars & MRLS on top plus ofc drones....then add here helicopters and ATGMS.
Not likely they will regain territories because huge shitload of mines and Russia is continuing to install minefields and fortifications even today..
 
Looks that Russia today had lost 1- Su24 and 1- Su 25 plus 2 Ka-52 helicopters .

While on the ground looks that due to better supplies in general Russia managed to advance a bit despite huge losses due to minefields.
