I have never heard of “ePrimefeed” before, but looking it over, it’s clearly a Russian propaganda site masquerading as news. Everything is anti-Ukrainian or propping up Russia (like a story about Steven Seagal celebrating his 70th birthday in Moscow).
Seriously, you have to really be deep into the Russian apologist hole to dig up this bullshit.
Yeah, I was about to suggest posting in the original thread, but I looked at that site, too. Definitely belongs here. Makes me wonder about his real motivation.
Hey! Congrats! Not every post of yours in this thread is a steaming pile!
I know! I have so many fans!
Yeah it is a weird site to find it. But I do recall reading about it on another one too.
But if the article names the source, that at least moves it a step up in being true.
He appears in videos on this Youtube site.
But I have not yet found one here where he states it.
Found the video.
At 5:45 he mentions the same numbers as Military Summary channel.
But again. He does not seem particularly concerned about it. Does not elaborate on it.
You get to the bottom of the page and see,

Well the video link I posted shows that in this case Eprimefeed was correct.
now those facts did age a bit like milk …
Yeah, I was looking for the update with the twist ending. Still waiting.
Obviously, Russia is not going to sell/donate them; they generously abandoned artillery shells - and tanks - and artillery - and all kinds of military hardware as lend-lease to Ukraine when they routed. You don’t even need to understand Ukrainian to burst out laughing when the speaker says “lend-lease” while showing off the piles of ammo boxes the Russians abandoned at 2:45 in this clip.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the deal is with those bags at 2:12 in the video? They have English writing on them (“Grow How Power?”)
ETA: found the answer to my own question. It’s Finish fertilizer. Kemira GrowHow - Wikipedia
. The bags were probably left over from the previous owner of the storage building before the Russians took over.
The readers of The Sun want to know who can run faster?
Russian combat troops or Josh Hawley…?
Kharkiv offensive regained a great amount of territory and gave Russia a black eye on more than one front.
But I feel it was not worth it. Tactically the area was not that important to either side. Russia was lightly defending it. Ukraine did not need to concern itself with it yet. But it did require continuing attention from both sides. I think Ukraine forces were better used to the south, than to regain this territory now.
Ukraine forces were diverted from other areas to stage the offensive. Which was noted ahead of time. It succeeded, but I think it cost too much. Russia lost lots of territory, but did not lose enough personnel or material to balance the cost to Ukraine forces. In Kharkiv, or in being shorted in other areas. But it does not seem that Ukraine forces will need to be in place there in large numbers going forward, to defend it. That is good. They can be redeployed south. It has freed up at least one North South supply line.
Offensive operations are very risky for Ukraine due to the supply and personnel levels. They must succeed at very low loss levels. And the territory gained be able to be held without too much extra material and personnel.
It continues to be a quantity war. This favors the Russians so far. More distant strike capability is getting to the Ukraine forces, but in less quantity than Russia already has in place. Front line artillery quantity is still in favor of the Russians. This makes offense and defense an incredibly tight tactical war for Ukraine.
Foreign intelligence sources are helping a lot. But actual material is still an issue.
never mind
Of course you do

I just deleted a ever-lengthening post about basic elements of military strategy not to mention the morale and propaganda values of victories like this. Because jeez, why bother?
Right?
You may not feel that’s the case, but the Russian troops involved in the conquering of the Donetsk region feel quite differently, as they depended heavily on both the rail and highways which happened to run from the principal theater supply center in Belgorad, through Kupyansk, south to the troops in Donetsk. Not just tactically, but operationally, this alone will significantly lengthen the Russians logistical train.
As Napolean once put it ‘amateurs discuss tactics, the professionals discuss logistics.’ So far Ukrainian successes in this war have largely been owing to Russian logistical failures. First, when Russians were unable to maintain the supply lines necessary to encircle Kiev, and next when a handful of HIMARS trucks managed to destroy scores of supply depots, and bridges.
I noted that it causes more than just territory losses for Russia.
Wow that’s a dumb take.
I’ll admit I’m actually surprised that you managed to be this over-the-top in your tankie-ness.
