EFFORTPOST COMMUNITY NOTED Ukraine monthly update |||~~ Gold-toothed and ruddy faced, he squints through +9 prescription glasses, and his ill-fitting body armour flaps unfastened over a short, stocky frame. Grigory admits he was as surprised as anyone when he was enlisted; he did not expect the officers to mobilise someone who was half blind.

But he has got used to handling firearms. "Anyone can shoot," he says. "It's hitting the target I'm not so good at."The situation on the front lines is widely accepted to be as difficult as at any time since the early days of the war, with many fearing a significant Ukrainian retreat may soon be inevitable.

That guy has some top tier humour

I always find it wild that there are people who claim to be "pro-Ukrainian" but completely ignore the reality of the situation ( just go to worldnews). I was shocked reading a story ( in the Kyiv Post!) about how at least ~100,000 Ukrainian civilians have returned to occupied territory. They fly to Russia then go via land back home.

https://www.kyivpost.com/post/42704

In the literal article it explained the reasons why people were returning because it interviewed the people returning. And mostly it was due to them just not being able to live in Ukraine. Nowhere to live, no support from the government and skyrocketing food prices

So they moved to Russia because it's simply easier to live there for them.

It's interesting seen Redditors realising things ain't looking good for Ukraine

And as always when bodies are traded

🇺🇦🇷🇺‼️🚨 502 vs 50 Ukraine and Russia exchanged the bodies of fallen soldiers.

Russia handed over the remains of 502 Ukrainian soldiers, Ukraine - about 50 Russian.

Ukraine gets way more bodies like every single exchange.

Here previous exchange

Ukraine and Russia have again exchanged the bodies of killed soldiers. The two warring nations’ latest repatriation of remains sent home the bodies of 563 Ukrainian soldiers and 37 Russian soldiers. https://t.co/BJhc9Lvt5n

But best part Biden administration now telling Ukrainian to lower the mobilisation age to 18

I wrote before that at one point khohols will hate west more than Russian and it's slowly happening.

Ukraine was promised by Boris Johnson that they will win. But now Ukraine is in worse situation than in 2022 and it desperately trying to regain 2022 March situation to sign a peace deal. Than west telling them to kill them self by mobilising their future that they already almost lost. Just look objectively, boy that is today 18 was 15 when it started, his parents probably brought him to EU where he is finishing school/starting college. So age group 18-21 has huge hole and after the first time to mobilisation age was lowered, desertion went up and now there are daily attacks on mobilisation organisation.

Also they tried to get help from Korea even by creating that story of North Koreans are about to attack Ukraine at any moment for 2 months now.

Majority of Ukrainian now are ready to sign a deal with Putin and don't want to fight anymore.

Kurakhove is good as gg. Ukraine did put some of its elite soldiers to hold it but it made Velyka Novosilka weaker

Russian will turn this city in to a FOB

Russian will get this territory with ease under its control and go after Pokrovske (don't confuse with Pokrovsk) capturing of Pokrovske will cuck Zaphorochie city and help Russia isolating it.

In north Russian crossed oskol river in multiple points

Basically annulation of the great Kharkiv counteroffensive greatest achievements

Chasiv yar is also in shit

Toretsk is last true OG fortress under Ukraine and things don't look good

Zelenskyy even fired his ground force general today and replaced him

🇺🇦 Zelenskyy appointed Mykhailo Drapatoy as the new commander of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In 2022, he was in charge to capture the right-bank Kherson region, and in 2024 to defend the Kharkiv region and to stop the Russian offensive.

Drapatiy is a combat… pic.twitter.com/oCWcMlaGcP

Ukraine now is in giga shit situation. Ukraine in their best case scenario with lowering mobilisation age can get 250k men. When they lowered from 27 to 25 they expected 500k men. There was some logic behind why in 25-27 are more people than in 18-25

Their demographic is frick up.

But let's assume they decide to do it and it's absolutely best case scenario. For Russian that means 250k Ukrainian man till total attrition war victory. Russia will get whole Ukraine.

They fricking dreaming about 2022 March deal now. But western media tries telling them it was bad deal

So Trump peace deal won't work. Zelensky can't sign a document that will officially give Russian Crimea. Putin won't agree on anything other than official recognition. Giving Ukraine more weapons won't do shit, they got over 1000 tanks from west, ammunition they are getting are straight out factories, they got like 80% of western air defence ammunition, we now don't even get reports what Ukraine is getting because probably over half of m777 are in Ukraine and over 800 Bradley's no other nato country except US is as well equipped as Ukraine yet they failed to liberate a single town with all that gear.

Also west now don't tell what Ukraine is receiving so guys like this one can cope

When simple Wikipedia that shows the absolute minimum. States clearly more than 167 leopards 2

It won't be a surprise if Ukraine operates the most leopards per country. But for people like that guy it's easier to cope that if Ukraine receives its 38rd leopard it's going to win. With abrams the situation was more r-slurred, Russian captured like 10 abrams and visually fully destroyed 30 so -40 abrams and Ukraine officially only got 31 so they decided to bump it to 80 but it's clearly over 100.

So giving more weapons won't change anything Russian are now stronger they drone mog Ukrainian by x20. Ukraine won't liberate anything. Their main problem is they are out of men. For a lot of Ukrainians now it's even better to live infer Putin than die under Zelenskyy.

They kinda have no way out. If they decide to sign a July 2024 Putin deal, Putin will offer a new deal that they can't sign so it's grinding time for them.

The moral of story, it's important to know when to stop gambling. Defeating Russian in Kiev was already a miracle for them. But they thought it was their skills and they will defeat Russian

There is a saying

Beautiful that it was posted on September 2023

When @pizzashill coped with counteroffensive

Edit just now

This is also interesting cope.

500 Patriot missiles that were build this year went straight to Ukraine for free so in some ways the money went to Ukraine and to weapons factories owners and the losers were tax payers

Great, so Congress is taking money from poor Americans to give it to rich Americans—who happen to own a piece of the military-industrial complex https://t.co/bN56DUisdd
