Russia’s ‘rigid’ forces collapse to ‘audacious lightning’ Ukraine counteroffensive



Ukraine has carried out such a swift counteroffensive against Russia it’s taken even their own forces by surprise.

Ukrainian troops have recaptured huge areas of territory in the east of the country, some reportedly reaching a settlement almost on the border with Russia.

As Russian troops abandon their positions, leaving tanks, ammunition and military hardware behind, Ukrainian flags have been raised in dozens of newly liberated villages and towns.

  1. This reporting and these interviews are hilarious. The Soviet style army ''just can't react…they're like rigid'' Somebody should have told that to the Wehrmacht before the Soviets drove them back into Berlin and in the process destroyed 80% of the entire German army. I actually read a comment by some moron the other day saying emphatically that ''Russians can't fight in the snow.'' Haha hahaha hahahaha! Yeah, that's what Napoleon said when he was running back to France with his tail between his legs.

  2. There are British journalists who work for establishment television outlets like Channel4 ITV and the BBC who also work for NATO. Now I find that funny. What are you doing pretending to be a journalist when you're employed by a military organisation run essentially by the USA? How can a journalist be independent and report anything honestly with conflicts of interests like that? You want the documentary evidence of my claim? Go to Mint Press News and take a look.

  3. Z Z Z Em memoria dos cerca de quinze mil civis mortos, por ordem do regime de Kiev desde 2014, e sobre os quais, não vejo ninguém chorar, segue a minha humilde homenagem! Hipocrisia e cinismo, vejo muito.

  4. LEADERS FEAR THE PEOPLE, Mark 11:27 They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders came to him. 28“By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you authority to do this?”

    29Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 30John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!”

    31They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 32But if we say, ‘Of human origin’ . . . ” (They feared the people

  5. Yes, Russia is taking care of you (Ukraine). With 9 missile strikes in the downtown area and constant daily artillery shelling in Kharkiv. Actions speak louder than word. Sometimes breaking up is hard to do? Time for the Russian soldiers and mercenaries to go back home. Putin needs to sign the final divorce papers and realize there’s no getting back together, demilitarization, decoupling from the West – EU or land for peace deal. Sovereign boundaries are respected and in future generations we can make amends.

  8. She asked how has Russia allowed itself to be humiliated this way? They are trying to fight on too many fronts against a well-supplied opponent in Ukraine. Donbas? Putin went way beyond that.

  10. The wrath of the Almighty has come upon the Russians for their savagery in brutalizing innocent civilians and trying to annex an independent Ukraine. Justice will prevail albeit at a cost to the Ukrainians. The gallant and courageous Ukrainian army and its people have the highest respect and regard. The lost lives of the Ukrainians in defending their country from an enemy who thoughts they could bulldoze their way will always be remembered for generations. Putin, we know Russians do not have much belief in God being Communists , but what you have done and failed to achieve is well said in the Bible. No matter how strong you are but when you do something which is not justifiable you have to face the repercussions Putin.

  11. This will be known as the "Stupid War". It was started just to satisfy Putin's ego. He thought it would be a cakewalk. It will cost billions to rebuild but build they must. Russia must not be rewarded with a single square inch of land, and that includes Crimea.

  12. Slava Ukraine! The people of Europe remember the darkness of the great wars, and we will stand in unity with you!

    Let Putin cut off the gas and cut his own throat! We will use more blankets, we will wear more jumpers … we will sleep in one room for warmth. We will find renewed unity in our collective struggle, just like we did in WWII.

    Our grandparents proved that we can bear hardship – for your struggle is our struggle.

    And none of us are free till all of us are free!

    So, fight onwards, brave Ukraine! Let a million sunflowers grow where Russian soldiers fall. And let us never forget that we fight, not because we hate those in front of us, but because we love those behind us.

    More weapons, food and medicines to Ukraine !!!
