Like for real every morning now Julian Jihad post about that things don't going well for Ukraine but Ukraine is winning

Here he shows the second encirclement
And one way more important to Ukraine since as you see its last og line that didn't moved.
If they lose that line this would happen
they will lose everything till that yellow like and battle of konstantin and chasiv yar would take place at same time
As you see the map is full with triangles and that means significant landscape. That place is basically death trap for offensive but nevertheless Ukrainian planned (or at least Zelenskyy been demanding) to attack in that direction and capture Horlivka
In this article from October 2023
When I raised these claims with a senior military officer, he said that some commanders have little choice in second-guessing orders from the top. At one point in early October, he said, the political leadership in Kyiv demanded an operation to "retake" the city of Horlivka, a strategic outpost in eastern Ukraine that the Russians have held and fiercely defended for nearly a decade. The answer came back in the form of a question: With what? "They don't have the men or the weapons," says the officer. "Where are the weapons? Where is the artillery? Where are the new recruits?"
But don't worry Ukraine did captured Horlivka
They basically captured one of those triangles on the map and called it "capture of Horlivka" it was basically krinky little, they held that triangle for mb couple of days but the story was in media for a month.
I already many times wrote the reason why:
Ukraine send all its assault reserves to north Kharkiv to have 6 to 1 advantage over Russian
And they were pushed back
Majority analyst were expecting Ukrainian success since the goal of Russian was just to pull Ukrainian reserves so Ukrainian don't counter attack in ocheretyne and etc
Yet Ukraine managed to lose
Ukraine legit hopped to "counter offensive" this year Horlivka or from belohorivka Lugansk. Booth those directions are
and offensive capabilities gone.
But when everything looks bad pro khohol, don't forget you have f16 and
Russia tho suggested if Ukraine blows up Crimea bridge Russia will blow up "Kyiv Reservoir"
Wikipedia:
Worries about possible destruction arose again in February 2022 during the Kyiv offensive. Russian forces took control of the power plant on 25 or 26 February.[1] Ukrainian forces recaptured it on 26 February.[2] It was claimed that Ukrainian air defenses intercepted a missile flying towards the dam. Interfax stated that if the dam were to fail, flooding could destroy "the entire left bank of Kyiv".
So go Ukraine, it will literally make north east Ukraine very hard to supply

Coping hard that Ukraine with 70% of US yearly military budget couldn't do anything in 2 years ?

30%, not 70%. Within the first 2 years the US had sent 60 billion worth of equipment (and a bit of cash), which is 30% of those 2 years' combined military budget of 1.696 trillion.

I am not talking only about US aid. Total aid to Ukraine is now over 600 billions and yearly budget of U.S. military is 800 billions so roughly 70% in 2 years.
US spend on Ukraine around 200 billions. 60billion is military equipment if we look only at military equipment I doubt US spend 800 billions every year on military equipment.
2023 was special year tho. So US spends majority of military budget on salary. It also tho improved Ukrainian salaries tho. Before it all started Ukrainian soldier salaries were like 150 dollars a month now it's 1500 and it's net (tax free). At the first 6 months their salaries were 3000-5000 dollars net, that's more than burgers salary

Most of that $200 billion is not going to Ukraine.
The 107 is also allocated, not what we have actually spent. We have only spent around $60 billion on direct aid to Ukraine.
Welcome to the joy of government spending, where 200 billion dollars "for Ukraine" was actually for a bunch of unrelated shit Congress wanted funded.

US gives Ukraine shells it made in 2023 to Ukraine for free and ask the money to replace them and then says the money actually stayed in U.S.
Then they also saying they are creating jobs, but the end product goes to Ukraine for free. So someone has to pay for material, workforce, logistic, big man % and etc, and it's the tax payers.
All those atacms and patriot US gave to Ukraine are new and US don't have many of those. Despite the rhetoric US don't give Ukraine much stuff build before 2005. Even Bradley that Russian captured were from 2022 modification.

My point was that with such financial support Ukraine managed to capture zero settlements and somehow stolen decent amount on fortification
I back then even thought they would say more about this but they buried that story first with
Then with
So Ukraine blamed the west for that failure and that it wasn't Ukrainian corruption and west accepted this rhetoric
But guess what
Only yesterday there was new corruption event with fortifications in Kharkiv![:marseythumbsup: :marseythumbsup:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseythumbsup.webp)
