Excellent. Grain out of Ukraine, and weapons in.
Also, just reading Carpathians makes me think of Lord Vigo in Ghostbusters 2.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Ukraine has issues, too, but you gotta believe that if they win this thing there is going to a lot of f****** going on when the troops come home.
It depends on the mission and distance. Usually infantry will use a mechanized method (vehicles/helicopters) to get close to the mission area then go the rest on foot.
Feel free to dislike Sean Penn for a lot of reasons, but while in Ukraine filming a documentary on the Russian invasion he gave Zelensky one of his Oscars and told him to return it to him after the war.

"#Petrovsky district of #Donetsk under the heavy fire of the Ukrainians. As a result of the blows, about eight houses are on fire. -by VGTRK journalist Andrey Rudenko."
Don't know what it says but it is the good guys' armor.
It's like watching the miles roll up on my odometer during a vacation.
Does anyone else feel like we're just waiting for Russia to complete repairs on the Crimea bridge so that we can begin betting on how and when Ukraine will hit it again?
If nothing else he can make the Russians dizzy.
At this rate, looks like Ukraine will be down to the Crimean border before the new year. From there they can penetrate far enough for uncle HIMARS to hit Sevastopol to the west, and the Kerch bridge to the east. Just a function of time.
This thread is awesome but this assessment is more sobering than what's been posted in the thread....
It's not a one way street as far as casualties go...
America’s top general has estimated that 100,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded in Ukraine, and that Kyiv’s armed forces have “probably” suffered a similar level of casualties in the war.
The figures provided by Milley – which could not be independently confirmed – are the most precise to date from the US government more than eight months into the war. His remarks offer the highest US estimate of casualties in the nearly nine-month conflict to date, and came as Ukraine and Russia face a potential winter lull in fighting that experts say could offer an opportunity for some kind of negotiations.

US estimates 200,000 military casualties on all sides in Ukraine war

Hope this is accurate. Those daily casualties could climb even higher.
"It can be seen that the Ukrainian Army on the Southern Front broke through the retreating Russian defenses in several directions and began a pursuing battle."

I don’t think anyone here doesn’t think Ukraine has paid a terrible price in blood. We just cheer on their successes.This thread is awesome but this assessment is more sobering than what's been posted in the thread....

I still don't think there will be a winter pause-Ukraine will continue to methodically grind Russia into the earth.This thread is awesome but this assessment is more sobering than what's been posted in the thread....

Most of Ukraine's casualties probably came in the first few months of the war. Everyday they grow stronger while Russia gets weaker. IMO they must keep on the pressure as best they can.
from the article....Miley isn't a Russian "stooge".
Asked about prospects for diplomacy in Ukraine, Milley said the early refusal to negotiate in the first world war compounded human suffering and led to millions more casualties. “So when there is an opportunity to negotiate, when peace can be achieved: seize the moment,” Milley said.
Don't "freeze" 'em
Thaw 'em out and SPEND them on military and economic assistance for Ukraine.
Just TAKE them.
Reading this thread one would think that....I think Miley's assessment is a little more sobering.
We'll find out if the Ukrainian's can push beyond the Donetsk in the south in the coming weeks.
"We have at least 4 directions of attack with varying degrees of resistance. Progress is fast, it looks like a pretty quick retreat. However, one should not fall into euphoria, the Russians may still be surprised."(think should be "Russia may still surprise us")

He is right. When Russia is ready to stop the bloodshed and remove its armies from sovereign Ukrainian territory, UKR absolutely needs to cooperate.
Yep
What is there to "negotiate" otherwise?
Let Russia take huge swaths of Ukrainian territory, so they can just reload/rebuild and then attack again from a fortified front in another 5-10 years?
Ukraine doesn't want to kick the can down the road; they want their land back and assurances they won't be attacked again. Which means joining NATO.
