They're literally using mass wave attacks, and if Russia actually did that they would've lost a long time ago. Even western propagandists now admit that this offensive has stalled.

Here's how things were supposed to go https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/04/18/ukraine-russia-war-counteroffensive-attack-bakhmut-himars/

Ukraine was supposed to make a major breakthrough in the first 24 hours, and that was crucial for sustaining the momentum for this offensive. We're now into week 4 of the offensive, and Ukraine failed to even reach the first line of defence. They're still in the gray zone.

Now CNN openly admits that the offensive isn't meeting expectations https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/22/politics/ukraine-counteroffensive-western-assessment/index.html

ISW writes that Ukrainian forces may be temporarily pausing counteroffensive operations to reevaluate their tactics for future operations. https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-june-18-2023

It's an unmitigated disaster, but you evidently live in an alternate reality guzzling state propaganda that your regime churns out. 😂

I love the fact the links you keep providing keep undermining your own point 🤡

ISW has previously noted that Ukraine has not yet committed the majority of its available forces to counteroffensive operations and has not yet launched its main effort.[10] Operational pauses are a common feature of major offensive undertakings, and this pause does not signify the end of Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
