    There’s an idea that this phase is an attempt to get Russia to commit their reserves then to attack at the weakest point. I hope that it is true.

    “The bulk of the Ukrainian army still hasn’t engaged the Russian invaders in the south. 12 brigades, 3000 armored vehicles of all types and an undisclosed amount of troops waiting. The largest military operation of the European continent since 1945.”

        If that was remotely true, we would have seen more than the recirculated videoed and images we’ve seen so far. Even the “trophy” video was shot at the place the vehicles got knocked out, I.e a highly contested area.

    Aparently it hasn’t even begun yet:

    Czech President Petr Pavel on the Ukrainian offensive:

    "This is the only the beginning. I believe that we have not seen the real counteroffensive. It will be in the future. What we see now, and I have some military experience, would be called shaping.

    “The counteroffensive has not yet begun, Ukrainian soldiers are conducting testing on the front line, namely, offensive actions in order to identify Russian weaknesses,” adviser to the Head of the Presidential office Podolyak said.

    This topic is confirmed very often.
