Ukraine's Highly Anticipated Counter-Offensive Against Russia Has Begun (Video) by lhordspy: 8:05pm On Jun 09, 2023

The Ukrainian counteroffensive has begun, kicking off a particularly dangerous time for Ukraine's armed forces, even with its newly acquired arsenal of Western-made tanks, armored vehicles, and other weaponry that has been pouring in over months.

Ukrainian forces, including combat units trained in Western tactics and armed with Western weaponry, are pushing against various parts of the front line, The Washington Post reported.

Ukraine sent Western tanks into battle for the first time in a major offensive on the southern front that marked the launch of its long-awaited counter-offensive. Leopard II main battle tanks were seen in the Zaporizhzhia region, where a sudden surge in fighting appeared to mark the start of the assault. Ukrainian officials speaking on condition of anonymity said an active phase of the counter-offensive was under way, US media reported.

US officials said that the latest assault appeared to be the main thrust of the counter-offensive. However, officials cautioned that the Russians had put up “stiff resistance” and that the Ukrainians had suffered losses.

The Ukrainian offensive appeared to be focussed around the Ukrainian-held front-line town of Orikhiv, with analysts suggesting Kyiv was intending to push down towards the coast and cut off Russia’s access to Crimea.

But Russia claimed to have largely repelled the attack. Ukrainian and Western officials have long warned that the counter-offensive would be difficult, even with fresh supplies of modern Nato-standard equipment like main battle tanks.

Ukrainian forces suffer ‘stiff resistance’ and losses in assault on Russian lines
CNN REPORTS
Ukrainian forces have suffered losses in heavy equipment and soldiers as they met greater than expected resistance from Russian forces in their first attempt to breach Russian lines in the east of the country in recent days, two senior US officials tell CNN.

One US official described the losses – which include US supplied MRAP armored personnel vehicles as “significant.”

Ukrainian forces managed to overrun some Russian forces in the east around Bakhmut. However, Russian forces, armed with anti-tank missiles, grenades and mortars, have put up “stiff resistance,” with their forces dug into defensive lines that are several layers deep in some areas and marked by minefields that have taken a heavy toll on Ukrainian armored vehicles.

RUSSIAN PRESIDENT,VLADIMIR PUTIN REACTS:
"All counteroffensive attempts made so far have failed. But the offensive potential of the troops of the Kyiv regime is still preserved,"

US PRESIDENT, JOE BIDEN REACTS:
"We’ll Have The Funding To Support Ukraine As Long As It Takes"
Mr Biden said: “The Ukrainians can speak to the military operations, I won’t do that from here. We’ve done everything we could collectively, individually, the United States, to support and be ready. In an evolving situation we’re very optimistic.”

Asked about moves by Republicans in Congress to limit funding to Ukraine, he said: “I believe we’ll have the funding to support Ukraine as long as it takes.

BRITISH PRIME MINISTER, RISHI SUNAK, REACTS:
"President Putin Will Be Thinking That The Alliance Will Tire, Will Get Fatigued, And That Is Not The Case".
Mr Sunak said it was “totally reasonable” for the American people to ask allies to “do their part”, adding that the UK was “proud” to be the biggest contributor behind the US to the military effort.

He said: “I think it is important other nations step up and do their part. President Putin will be thinking that the alliance will tire, will get fatigued, and that is not the case.”

The most overhyped counter-offensive in history, not going according to plan.

Billions of dollar US taxpayers money on fire, yet again. Another billion dollar worth of Military equipment in smoke.

Why won't the counter-offensive flop? How can you want to start a counter-offensive in a brutal war like this, and be advertising it. The western propaganda media advertised and over-hyped it like it is some kinda upcoming festival. Ukraine defense even released a movie-trailer and teaser on it.

They all think this is a joke. A soap-opera.

I can see the much anticipated counteroffensive has began and there are significant signs of failure.

In the military perspective, a counteroffensive can only be successful when it falls into one of these categories:
1. When the counteroffensive comes as an element of surprise.
2. When the enemy have no capacity (i.e armaments and manpower) to halt or destroy the offensive.

Without surprise, Russia do not fall under the listed categories.
Time is not on the side of the Ukrainians, infact time is working against them, because while zelensky was rallying around for weapons for this offensive, the Russians were building up defensive positions.

If we were to play along the western narratives, one would've thought that this counteroffensive will be a walk in the park for the Ukrainians but NO, it is a walk into the trap for them.
The Russians still hold superiority not only on armaments and tactics, but on strategic implementation of manpower and resources.
I saw a video of Ukrainian APCs and tanks rolling down to the Frontline without air cover, is that not a suicide mission?

Imagine fighting a land war with an enemy that can strike from air, land and sea.

Lol. Ukraine is getting plummeted right now. Russia is roasting the newly acquired tanks donated by over 34 countries in a bambiala style. The mediocre tanks which has been giving zelensky the confidence to run his mouth about counter-offensive.

By tomorrow morning, his confidence level will have reduce to -0.1

Biden just declared they will continue to sponsor the war till eternity. This is the same man that had to raise US debt ceiling of over 34trillion dollars, few days back.

Americans deserve better. Their politicians are setting their tax money on fire, deliberately.

I believe a time is coming when Americans won't take this shit anymore even the major European countries backing that comedian. America is the one rallying Europe against Russia because it sees Russia as a competitor that must be destroyed but Europe will get tired too and try to sue for peace but will America toe that path due to its own ego? Zelensky will soon get tired too.
