Ukrainian forces 'surprised' by speed and success of their offensive

The speed and success of the Ukrainian offensive has taken their own forces by "surprise".

Former Royal Marine and documentary-maker Emile Ghessen has been in the Kharkiv region with Ukrainian Forces as they conducted a counter-offensive which saw them take back large amounts of territory captured by the Russians across Kharkiv and also in Kherson.

The former Royal Marine told Forces News: "The Ukrainian soldiers are very surprised with how quick they are clearing villages, towns, all the way up to the Russian border and towards Donbas region."

All the cash being spent to support Ukraine is 100% worth it. Humiliating & ultimately breaking a hostile power like Russia is worth the cost, especially since another nation is willing to do the fighting.

Why the hell would they negotiate when Russia is occupying THEIR territory? Quite right, they should fight on and make the most of the awful sacrifices already mate. Russia must leave every inch of Ukraine or the Russian government will ultimately collapse.

Flying Tank Turrets, arms depots, airports and trains that self destruct, Boomerang Kalibr missiles and self sinking flagships, Putin thought it was still 2014 and no one would stop his great hollow army. Surprise 😲

Russia lost respect from nearly the entire world. The only way to get that respect back is for those in Russian army to go back to Russia and overthrow Putin. Sooner the better! (share this post)

KINDA LIKE A RUNNING BACK, THERE IS NO DEFENSE AT THE LINE, THEN RUNS INTO THE WHOLE TEAM AT THE GOAL LINE

[redcloud]

If the Russians keeps on running like cowards like this. Then the West will just become embolden to help Ukrainians. Fleeing like cowards didn't help as it gave an illusion that Ukrainian is about to win the War so West should help even more. Of course the truth is, it's a long way to go, but this kind of stuff just encourages allies to be closer and send help even more.

Russia has already lost Crimea and they don't even know it.
