This is where the U.S. dollars are used. Buy ammo from third world countries, send to Ukraine. The cost for these logistics are high but welcome.

From what I saw his main complaint was the lack of counter battery fire and ammunition which was resulting in the death of many Russian troops who didn't have a chance. Also the lack of counter battery Radars to identify and locate the Ukraine weapons
In addition there was a posting a few days ago, that went into considerable detail about Russia effectively running out of high grade metal for new gun barrels and other specialist uses. This in turn was forcing a greater reliance on mortars which have a much shorter range and are generally towed. Which result in a severely degraded counter battery capability and heavier losses.
Put the two together and it really is possible that Russia is losing the Artillery war, the backbone of their forces.

And, the Tor system just gave away it's exact location, too.
Because they've spend the last 50 years demolishing their own heritage from what I saw from my visit there

Yes
When saying his name you must always remember that English has some weird pronunciations and the CH in the front of chem** is pronounced K and R in the front of rit** is pronounced SH

Did he pop off?
Sorry...I'll definitely get my coat for that one!

Instead of waves of media dumps can you tell us why you're posting this, what message are you conveying, what do you think of this media article? You're certainty driving up your post count, but what do you want us to take away?
Putin says Wagner Group 'does not exist', while Biden jokes that Prigozhin should be careful what he eats
The Russian president says he offered mercenaries the opportunity to keep fighting if Prighozin was replaced with another commander, but the Wagner chief declined.www.abc.net.au
Imagine this was a forum discussing restaurants, and all someone did was post media articles about the price of ingredients? Are they for a potato price increase, or against it? What's the context.

He will speak for himself, but what I get from it is that he's trying to present balanced news, including Ukrainian losses too. I appreciate it, myself, as it gives me lanes to search if it perks my curiosity,

I appreciate his posts here. Thank you for the postings GTX. Sort of a heads up of various articles or posts bearing on the Ukraine war - informative and useful. I'm not here to argue either, rather to learn and share a few things.

Building on the above, there's a good article in the Times today where they interviewed a Ukrainian Artillery officer on the front line at Bahkmut. In the article the officer stated that in the beginning Russia were firing between two and three thousand shells a day, recently there was parity or to use his words, one in and one out. Now the Russian guns are relatively quiet.
I know this is one snippet, in one small part of the war, but there does seem to be a pattern developing.
He also showed the reporter one area outside the town where the Russians seemed to suddenly give way and they advanced 2Km in three days. Ukraine hold nearly all the hills around the town. He also said that his troops were more comfortable as some of them are in defences built by Ukraine in 2014 that had been captured by Russia and recaptured by Ukraine. Finally Ukraine have no intention of trying to capture the town, the losses would be huge. They are happy to sit outside and effectively keep the Russian under siege.

Vid shown by Russian propaganda channels as Ukranian Leopard being destroyed (hitting a mine). Is actually a Ukrainian T-64 deliberately mine-clearing the area with mine-rollers.

In no way I was trying to do a poll, just getting some first hand opinion about a feeling.I'm not US cityzen, but I guess somehow you are indirectly trying to make a poll (a rather small one by the way) . Maybe those relatively recent ones (June 2023) can provide a bigger picture:
Wide partisan divisions remain in Americans’ views of the war in Ukraine
Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to say the United States is providing too much support to Ukraine (42% vs. 13%).www.pewresearch.org
Most Americans Still Support Ukraine War Effort
Before a short-lived rebellion in Russia, most Americans said the U.S. should continue supporting Ukraine and saw the war locked in a stalemate.news.gallup.com
Thanks for the share!

That's a name that takes me back. Right up there with the Rapiers the Brits deployed at the Falklands.
