Kherson Offensive” Downgraded to “Slow Grind” – Russian Ops in Ukraine

The New Atlas

Ukrainian “Kherson Offensive” is resulting in massive casualties for Ukraine with negligible territorial gains, some of which have already been reversed;

– Western media continues to spin the ongoing fighting in southern Ukraine attempting to explain why it is not materializing in gains;

– Claims that Ukraine is pursuing a “slow grind” strategy in Kherson is an admission that fighting has returned to the pre-”offensive” stand-off;

– Ukraine has clearly committed what is left of its best men and equipment to the fight;
