The counteroffensive didn’t fail. Ukraine made significant gains and Russia’s military capacity crumbled at this point.
This article doesn’t pass the smell test - it’s Kremlin propaganda. Is China behind all of this?it’s Kremlin propaganda. Is China behind all of this?
The well-known Kremlin outlet the New York Times. Nothing but Putin talking points from them.
Chinese Kremlin propaganda no less
Failure or not depends on the goals. And by that it probably failed as they were aiming for retaking Crimea or at least split it in half. Also a lot of ground taken during counteroffensive is now lost again due to Russian offensive. Sadly so.
Give Ukraine offensive weapons. Unless Moscow is under real threat, they have no reason to ever stop. 
yes, we need to get more and more people killed, 100 billion dollars didn’t do the job but 100 more ought to be enough to quench the westerner thirst for blood
Right, because “The West” is responsible for Russia’s illegal invasion of another sovereign nation, lmao.
Take that crap someplace else.
What a complete non-sequitur
Just Lemmy.ml things
Literally is but go off king
And lol what do you think is a legal invasion? One where they file the paperwork? Or are you just reaching into a bag marked “civil religion” and pulling out synonyms for ‘bad’ to punch up your comment?
A legal invasion is like how I raided my own liquor cabinet last night.
You are right, though. Ukraine needs more and better weapons to kick Russians out. There are only two possible outcomes, either Russia conquers Ukraine or they are kicked out. Instead of giving the edge to Ukraine, west is playing on perpetual war, so the war industry profits - at least it looks like that. And of course, blood is mostly on Putin’s hands.
I’d start by not taking the advice of a country that hasn’t won a war in 80 years.
