“Dobropillia–Kramatorsk. What happened there? Russian groups advanced about 10 kilometers in several places — without equipment, only with weapons in hand. Some we have already found — they have been destroyed or taken prisoner. We will soon find and destroy the rest.” – Zelenskyy

1. Whats happening in Myrnohrad? how come they’ve not all been evacuated when that seriously needs evacuating. serious questions need asking of the likes of syrski now.

2. Because Ukraine’s manpower is stretched to the point where they’ve got one squad per kilometre of frontline, so Russia pushes in their motorcycle units en masse to find a hole and trickle units behind the lines. They might suffer mass casualties, but they don’t care, they’ll send 500 men to their deaths if 50 can make it behind enemy lines. Then these fuckers attack, ambush and harass the Ukrainians from behind, widening the gap for more motorcycle infantry to push through.

3. Such dirty fighting with absolutely no regard for his own under equipped,half starved troops. Not surprising as Putin pulled the same shit in Syria … he has no soul.

4. I thought this catastrophe would be enough to admit the problems in the ZSU and change things, speed up reforms to increase the KD ratio and sack Sysrkyi and put him in jail, but no, the fish stinks from the head, the highest leadership has propagate this culture of lying that will only end in total defeat i hope the Ukranians notice and put somebody competent at the top and ready for fight this war as an existencial war not as a propaganda war

5. While it may be worse than he is letting on, what do people expect him to say? Broadcast “OMG I have not enough troops, command problems, we are all doomed”? The enemy (putin and trump) would be all ears. Hopefully he will address any problems he can and regain control. In a war, he is not likely to disclose much publicly and feed the enemy.

6. I saw the “Peaky Blinders” video of the column of deceased combatants, it’s like they rushed thousands in one final push to do their mission. Crush them all.

7. They took random fields that don’t lead to an objective city. Russia is trying to get Ukraine to move troops to counter those advances and leave the cities less defended.

8. What about the Russian supply lines? Isn’t that the way to destroy their advances? Basic war stuff.

9. Can someone with more knowledge tell me why Ukraine has manpower issues?

   Ukraine has around 1 million man fielded as far as I know and they lost like 100 000 killed and 400 000 wounded and Ukraine had like 40 million people before the war and still has around 35 million now. Why do they need to expand the conscription range? They should have still millions and millions of men aged between 30 and 50. Hungary during ww2 lost 1 million and we hsd the population of like 10 million.

   There has to be something beneath the surface, because this manpower problem seems like it shouldn’t happen, because so far Ukraine had around 1,4% killed and wounded which seems really low for them to have manpower issues
