Counteroffensive 'did not achieve desired results,' Zelensky says
kyivindependent.com
external-link
Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine is in a "new phase," President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with the Associated Press published on Dec. 1. “We have a new phase of war, and that is a fact...winter as a whole is a new phase of war,” he said. When asked about the counteroffensive, he acknowledged it had not gone as Ukraine had hoped, admitting that it "did not achieve the desired results."

    Take the L and call a truce already. He isnt getting the lands Ukraine bombed for 10 years back. Those who live in the zone will never forgive Zelensky or want back.

      Far from taking the L, Ukraine is apparently about to announce another mass mobilization, which makes Zelensky’s visit yesterday to a Ukrainian school even more creepy

          So genuine question, if Russia was evicted from the territory they’ve claimed today, what do you think would happen to the ethnic Russian population who live in those areas that have been persecuted/murdered by groups like Azov?

            Refusing to address this issue shows how unserious the liberal human rights rhetoric torwards Russia is.

            I remember 2 years ago seeing the daily escalation of the genocide in the Donbas and all the liberal media cared about was whether or not Russia would violate the sacred rules based international order by finally intervening.

            Liberals believe one of two things in my experience, in regards to that: Either that’s all fake news, Ukraine didn’t bomb anyone, there were no ethnic cleansings, and if there were, it was committed by a rogue militia that has nothing to do with the government, or

            The existence of ethnic Russians is because Russia is attempting to ethnically cleanse Ukraine, and that they should be expelled anyway because they’re not Ukrainian

          I keep wondering if there’s going to be a mass wave of uprisings against western-allied but locally-unpopular governments in the global south quite soon. The arms stockpiles are getting low, and direct cash as foreign aid is getting unpopular among the citizenry of western countries. This seems like the ideal time for insurgent groups to take action.

      Well in military terms it’s a counter offensive because they wanted to retake land that was occupied by the Russian offensive. But you’re right, it’s not technically an offensive because Ukraine didn’t retake any land from Russia.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
