Russia was able to re-invade Northern Ukraine because local officials pocketed the money sent for fortifications and mines
Reported situation in Vovchansk 14/5/2024: Reports are coming in that Russian forces seized control over roughly 1/3 of Vovchansk and have entered the town centre. Fighting is reportedly taking place Korolenka and Hoholia streets where Russian forces apparently gained a foothold in the high-rise residential buildings. The central park is also reportedly contested. Meanwhile Ukrainian forces are apparently holding out in School number 1, the Vovchansk Aggregates Plant, and the hospital complex. If this is true, expect the northern part of Vovchansk to fall quite soon.
LOL, that exactly what's been happening from the first day Ukrainians make powerpoint slides how much russians they killed while stealing most of the western money And hired trolls like gwb trader to copy paste their lies while pocketing billions
What a moron. Russia was doing so well until this neo-Nazi invasion by Putin. Goddamn. Russia, great country. Russians, great and decent people. Now on the world's sh**t list. What a tragedy. Wake up.
Russians are using their man power advantage to open up more battle fronts, this is causing Ukrainian man power to be spread thin in all areas. Ukraine just doesn't have enough men to match the size of the Russian army. New York Times: KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s military is confronting a “critical” situation in the country’s northeast, facing troop shortages as it tries to repel a Russian offensive that has been advancing for several days, a top Ukrainian general said Monday. Russian troops surged across the border last week to open a new line of attack near Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city after Kyiv, capturing at least nine settlements and villages and forcing thousands of civilians to flee. “The situation is on the edge,” Gen. Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, said in a video call from a bunker in Kharkiv. “Every hour this situation moves toward critical.” His bleak assessment echoed those of other Ukrainian officers in recent days that the country’s military prospects were dimming. In addition to being outnumbered, the Ukrainians face critical shortages of weapons, especially artillery ammunition, and $60.8 billion worth of arms from the United States — approved three weeks ago after months of congressional gridlock — has barely begun to arrive. Like most Ukrainian officials and military experts, Budanov said he believes the Russian attacks in the northeast are intended to stretch Ukraine’s already thin reserves of soldiers and divert them from fighting elsewhere. That is exactly what is happening now, he acknowledged. He said the Ukrainian army was trying to redirect troops from other front-line areas to shore up its defenses in the northeast but that it had been difficult to find the personnel. In a possible sign of Ukraine’s difficulties on the battlefield, the Ukrainian commander responsible for the northeast front was dismissed and replaced Monday, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
