  1. I often struggle to understand what Russia is trying to do, but this seems like a fairly desperate attempt to relieve pressure in the south, possibly brought on by Putin’s order to stop Ukraine’s counter-offensive by the end of October.

    Given their attack yesterday seemed to end in total disaster for them, as have countless other attacks in the same area, I hope they keep at it and Ukraine is able to destroy ever more orcs and material.

  2. Isn’t that the offensive that got shot to pieces yesterday?

  3. Avdiivka is incredibly mined and well defended similar to Vuhledar at this point. Ukraine made sure another Bakhmut wouldn’t take place again. Russians are going to get pummeled.

  4. That airport that got hit 25 times over and over again comes to mind

  5. Listen Russia, I know Putin “ordered” the military to stop the Ukranian counteroffensive by October, but you know it’s not stopping right? This whole war is a damn Ukranian counter offensive. You pushed in, and now they’re pushing you back out. They have ALWAYS been on the counteroffensive, and it will never stop being a counteroffensive. There is no end to this counteroffensive until you leave Ukraine. Get the fuck out of Ukraine out you Russian commie bastards.

  6. I believe that the object is to stall the Ukraine offensive in any way to allow the weather to set in. Russia has traditionally used the weather to their advantage.

  7. Putin has now gone full Hitler mode and is taking military decisions and lead while his generals, of course, in true fascist mode fear for their lives so don’t question him. Classic fascist slow implosion.

  8. Because it went so well for them last time. Oh wait…
