Russia's 'rigid' forces collapse to 'audacious lightning' Ukraine counteroffensive



Ukraine has carried out such a swift counteroffensive against Russia it's taken even their own forces by surprise.


Zelensky appears to be completely exhausted. His advisors need to help him get some sleep.

Hey, Russia, it's a ROUT. If you think your army is going to regroup over the border and then go back and try again, you're crazier than anyone thought, and we thought you were crazy the first time.

Russia admitted that by last month, they had paid out over 48,000 survivor benefits, so it looks like the NATO estimate of total killed in action on the Russian side is accurate.

I sincerely hope this is a turning point, that the rest of the Russian forces collapse. I just wouldn't want to be the one to tell Putin his pipe dream is over, time to sober up.
