Ukraine has taken out at least 40% of Russia's oil export capacity and is in the middle of an offensive that has so far taken back 470 square kilometers (~115,000 acres) and killed 11,000 Russians. The gained ground doesn't sound like much, but given the battlefield is essentially trench warfare where everyone is afraid to pop their head up because of drones, it's a pretty big push.
Copilot said your numbers could not be verified by any credible sources. Sorry, Copilot made me post this. Copilot...what? STFU Copilot! Bad Copilot!
No. Find it yourself. I'm so damn tired of you playing the "just asking questions" guy. It gets really old after 25 years and two major Middle East wars. If you find something to the contrary, by all means call me out on it--but I am not doing your research for you only to have it ignored or watch you change the goalposts.
addendum to my previous response: we appear to be on the same side in this instance. odd that you're refrain from supporting your statement. I'd be more than happy that it were true.
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2188000/putin-mutiny-coup-biggest-ukraine-war-backers Vladimir Putin is facing mutiny from his biggest war Ukraine backers amid fears of an impending coup. An unprecedented wave of defeatism over the war has gripped the “toxic” Kremlin dictator’s most ardent supporters. This follows a wave of crippling Ukrainian drone and missile strikes which have paralysed Putin’s oil exports and savaged his key military factories. Russian gains on the frontline have ground to a virtual halt, with some reversals, amid catastrophic losses of 8,000 or more soldiers a week. “We've been kicked in the balls again,” raged state TV propagandist and war pundit Aleksandr Sladkov, after five days of strikes Russian’s leading oil exporting hub unimpeded by Russian air defences. “The port in Ust-Luga on the Gulf of Finland is burning again.” He appeared to mock Putin, 73, likening him to dimwitted Baldrick in British comedy series Blackadder, as the tight curbs on criticising the Kremlin warmonger were abandoned. “Much is being said behind the scenes about our possibly cunning plan,” he declared.
test post eta: apparently you can't post links from 60 ****ing Minutes. What a bunch of c**ksuckery. Google "Ukrainian drones and how the US is learning from them". It's worth the watch/read.
