Russia & Ukraine

Another New York Times article: Russian Forces Push Deeper Into Northern Ukraine

KHARKIV, Ukraine -

In the past three days, Russian troops, backed by fighter jets, artillery and lethal drones, have poured across Ukraine’s northeastern border and seized at least nine villages and settlements, and more territory per day than at almost any other point in the war, save the very beginning.

In some places, Ukrainian troops are retreating, and Ukrainian commanders are blaming each other for the defeats. Thousands of Ukrainian civilians are fleeing to Kharkiv, the nearest big city.

And Ukrainian soldiers, by all accounts, are exhausted. More than two years of trying to fight off a country with three times the population to draw from has left Ukraine so depleted and desperate for fresh troops that its lawmakers have voted to mobilize convicts, a controversial practice that Ukraine had ridiculed Russia for using in the first half of the war.

The Russians are pressing on Lyptsi, another small town that is even closer to Kharkiv than Vovchansk.

The Russians have understood, just as a lot of analysts have, that the major disadvantage that Ukraine is currently suffering from is manpower; said Franz-Stefan Gady, a Vienna-based military analyst. By thinning out the front line, you are increasing the odds of a breakthrough

So -- as of Monday -- the Kremlin stated that Russia has captured 9 villages in Ukraine. Not 12 as some propagandists claimed last week. I sure with a few more days and few thousand more Russian military deaths the Kremlin can claim 12 villages.

Keeping in mind that even a snail moves faster than the Russian army in Ukraine.

Those were kinda empty.

Only fault on Ukrainian side and they criticized their own for that, it was not mined (?) or very little of it.
