Ukraine’s counteroffensive may be slow and steady, but soldiers say it’s the only way to quell a Russian advance without mass casualties

1. I agree 100%… The Ukrainians know better than anyone else how to proceed… and they are fighting with one arm tied behind their backs…. Give them the F-16s they need!… ASAP!

2. Saving Ukrainian lives always comes first. If people want to complain the offensive isn’t fast enough, they can head to the front and speed it up themselves.

3. Anybody fighting for Ukraine is worth 1000 times more than any of the orcs doing terrorism in Ukraine soil. Not a single life of those heroes is expendable so any tactic or strategy that will protect them as much as possible is the right strategy.

4. I have full faith in Ukraine

5. The media obsession with painting Ukraine’s counteroffensive as “slow” is like questioning someone fighting cancer “why is it taking so long”. It’s absurd.

   The heroes fighting in the trenches see this garbage too, and though their resilience is high, it’s still taxing while they’re just trying to survive. I am really beginning to wonder how much more shit these people are supposed to take before they and their children will finally be allowed to live their lives without the immediate waking dread of being bombed, raped, tortured, drowned, radiation poisoned or blown up by a mine. And I am embarrassed and angry my U.S. government isn’t doing more to give them everything they need *now*.

6. I bet it didn’t feel that slow for 600 russians yesterday.

7. Slow and steady wins the race.

8. A slow burn.
