[RIA] The Western media landscape in recent days has been reminiscent of a lambada festival: firecrackers are clapping, celebratory nachos are crunching, and caballeros dressed to the nines are gleefully throwing their sombreros into the air. The reason for the celebrations is the official start of the “big offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine”, which should definitely wash away all previous humiliations of Kyiv and its curators. The half-page headlines of the major media promise a triumphant victory for Ukraine right now, very soon and almost:
"Ukrainian army introduces new forces in a big breakthrough to the south"
"Ukraine launched the Great Offensive
"Ukraine is starting a new phase of the war, critical for the West"
"It's a big test."
The German newspaper Bild , choking with delight, reports: "Now the time has come!"
The New York Times says in a loud whisper that "this is a key phase of the counteroffensive."
A bold exclamation mark over all this splendor was put by the US government, which is clearly trying to take bread from the yellow press: "Ukraine begins the long-awaited main attack on the Russians. THIS IS A BIG BATTLE! Thousands of soldiers trained in the West are deployed. German tanks are on the battlefield. Russians report about huge attacks.
If we take this hysterical hype at face value, then the Russian army is already almost defeated and almost running, and Russia's days are clearly numbered.
However, if you thoroughly wash your hands and cover this gushing faucet, then in the bottom line it turns out that the situation is not only close to the one described, but completely opposite - from the word "absolutely."
In recent days, the Ukrainian regime decided to break all records for the destruction of its soldiers and equipment and threw everything that they managed to scrape together in the bottom of the barrel to the orders of the Russian Armed Forces. But the barrels turned out to be watery, and in fact, instead of the victorious march of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, many hundreds of soldiers and dozens of units of Western armored vehicles are losing every day.
In just one day of the “big, well, now definitely a real offensive,” the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost more than 280 soldiers and 25 tanks in the South-Donetsk and Zaporozhye directions, and up to 185 soldiers in Krasnolimansky. About fifty units of armored personnel carriers, IMBs and tanks, including Bradleys and Leopards, smoke on the fields of the remains of Ukraine.
Not knowing that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are conducting a successful offensive, our troops methodically move forward, kilometer after kilometer and settlement after settlement, liberate the territory from the Ukrainians.
Against this background, the Western leadership of Ukraine, clearly existing in a parallel reality, reports that everything is very good. In particular, British Deputy Secretary of Defense James Hippie proudly said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph that "at the moment, Ukraine is meeting our expectations. In general, they are fulfilling the plan that was developed together with us, the Americans and other parties in the winter."
If you believe Hippie, then the plan is some very cunning - like a plan to beat Tyson by hitting his fists with his face. Judging by the leaks in the Western press, Ukraine is bringing into battle its last reserves, which until then had been carefully guarded. Sources in the Armed Forces of Ukraine report that, against the backdrop of heavy losses, elite special forces are being thrown into “meat assaults” instead of ordinary infantry.
The UAF platoon commander with the characteristic surname Dubina, in an interview with the Daily Beast, admits that "the fighting on the front line during the offensive of the UAF is so difficult that it resembles hell."
According to a recent leak from German military intelligence (perhaps not coincidental), the UAF offensive is failing despite Western weapons and training of soldiers to NATO standards.
Apparently impressed by the successes of Ukraine, the head of the Office of the Prime Minister of Hungary, Gergely Guiyash, also states that "the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not achieve any significant results during the offensive."
Cherry on a Ukrainian dumpling: The Financial Times writes that, according to Ukrainian and Western officials, Ukraine has lost at least a fifth of all equipment and equipment supplied by the West.
The author of the famous Nord Stream investigation, world-famous journalist Seymour Hersh, quotes an unnamed Ukrainian official: "At this point, with Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russia thwarted, Zelenskiy has no plan but to hold on."
Well, if the plan was such, it suits us completely and we must ask Ukraine to put pressure on it. However, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin has already done this for Russia , who, with a blue eye, said that "Kiev has enough strength to continue the counteroffensive."
The rake is the most feared weapon in the world if in the right hands. While Kyiv and his comrades are wielding them, they simply do not need to interfere.
