#Ukraine - 🤔 Så talspersonen mener ikke, at modreaktionen allerede har ventet længe på sig?

🇷🇺Maria Zakharova, som er talsperson for Ruslands udenrigsministerium:
🙃“Et hårdt modsvar fra den russiske hær vil ikke lade vente længe på sig”.

🇺🇦Ukrainsk topembedsmand:
💪“Vi er i offensiven. Målet er at strække fjendens stillinger, påføre dem maksimale tab og destabilisere situationen i Rusland, mens de er ude af stand til at forsvare deres egen grænse”.

#UkrainianOffensive - ‼️"Ukraine should not repeat the mistake of being low on supplies when U.S. aid is blocked".

"If they can stay on the defensive until after the American election, and they can then also use that time to make sure that they have big stockpiles of weapons, then they will be in a pretty good position to withstand the Russian pressure for a while, even if Donald Trump is elected and there are interruptions in the deliveries of weapons".

Ends-ways-means.

I sometimes wonder if the reason #Ukraine #SpringOffensive had such a grip on the media was related to Wilfred Owen's famous poem of the same name (perhaps just the British imagination?), it's an evocative phrase.

But in yet another excellent video @anderspuck argues we should probably stop assigning it to seasons and just call it the #UkrainianOffensive, because it will keep going until #UkraineWillWin.
Nice update: "How is the war going? – Early October 2023"

“I'll flat tell you, the Ukrainians have more conventional combined arms experience in these last 18 months than the leaders in the Pentagon who are criticizing them. And that's just the facts of it.”

“And these are citizen soldiers, much like our citizen-soldiers who fought in World War II – from Australia, from the United States from Europe – and what they're achieving is nothing short of commendable.”

The #UkrainianOffensive is near (might be underway, but)
