They took 3-4 weeks to capture Izyum and gave it up in about 1 day leh

They did hold it for a few months in the interim. But you're not wrong to say that the Ukrainians hadn't challenged them during that time.

#Russian head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Kolokoltsev was unable to participate in the #UN summit of Interior Ministers because the United States did not issue him a visa.

I think the Ukrainians should run in panic all the way to Москва.

A moment unexpected.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taras_Shevchenko

Quote

 

(Taras Shevchenko) was a Ukrainian poet, writer, artist, public and political figure, folklorist and ethnographer. His literary heritage is regarded to be the foundation of modern Ukrainian literature and, to a large extent, the modern Ukrainian language, though this is different from the language of his poems.

...

Shevchenko was convicted in 1847 of explicitly promoting the independence of Ukraine, writing poems in the Ukrainian language and ridiculing members of the Russian Imperial House.

 

Translation of the displayed portion of the poem in reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/xax6n5/ukrainian_soldiers_removed_russian_propaganda/ from the original poster Sv1a quoting translation by John Weir https://taras-shevchenko.storinka.org/taras-shevchenko-the-caucasus-poem-english-translation-by-john-weir.html

Quote

And glory, mountains blue, to you,
In ageless ice encased!
And glory, freedom’s knights, to you,
Whom God will not forsake.
Keep fighting — you are sure to win!
God helps you in your fight!
For fame and freedom march with you,
And right is on your side!

Is this the classic 调虎离山?

"Current and former U.S. officials praised the sophistication of the Ukrainian preparations for the counteroffensive. The decision by Ukraine to tout its counteroffensive in the south before striking in the northeast is a standard technique for misdirection used by the American Special Operations troops, who have been training the Ukrainians since the annexation of Crimea in 2014."

It's sound the alarm at the east and hit at the west...yamashita did that to percival...😁

[Jamesc]

Russian soldiers are giving up and running away.

They don't want to die in a war they didn't even know they were going to fight in.

They thought they were on exercises and next thing in Ukraine.

Lies all lies by the evil western media.

My BFF Putin says Russia is winning

and its just days before Russia takes the whole of Ukraine.

Morale is high in the Russian army.

See how happy this soldier is. He cannot stop his tears of happiness.

Its a regroup to come back stronger!

What I am really amazed is Russian soldiers are sleeping in trenches.

Winter is coming and running home to Moscow or sleeping in a warm Ukraine

prison sounds so much more appealing.

I don't see how Ukraine cannot win now!

If Russians know anything its that a freezing winter kills better than bullets.

 

[Ender]

Too many Russian deserters that they have to deploy helicopters to catch them in Kherson. With logistics supply and reinforcement cut off, and winter coming, better run away.
