The New York Times delivers a merciless verdict on the Ukrainian counteroffensive, stating that the autumn thaw will render any further progress impossible due to the soggy soil conditions. The heavy NATO tanks and armored vehicles will simply drown in the mud, and even the dry season did not provide the Ukrainian military with an advantage, as Russian minefields and defensive structures proved highly effective. The assessment of the Ukrainian counteroffensive is far from satisfactory, and the Americans are no longer even pretending to be concerned about the losses of Ukrainian personnel. The article bluntly states that the offensive is too costly for the West, particularly for those who supplied equipment to the Ukrainian forces. This raises questions about the sustainability of Western support for Ukraine, especially considering the upcoming winter and the budget wars in Congress between Republicans and Democrats.\n**Ukrainian Tactics Ineffective**: Ukrainian forces have resorted to \"meat assaults,\" which involve marching on foot without adequate armor or support from tanks and armored vehicles. Even the head of Ukrainian intelligence, Kiril Budanov, has admitted that most of the offensive is now carried out on foot. This tactic is not a sustainable strategy and leads to high casualties among Ukrainian troops. The use of old anti-aircraft guns from the 1940s, mounted on trucks, has also proven ineffective and often results in self-destruction.\n**Russian Victories in the North**: While Ukraine struggles in the south, Russia has made significant territorial gains in the north. Russian forces have successfully blown up a large weapons warehouse inside a grain elevator in the Kherson region, raising questions about Ukraine's decision to put its grain infrastructure at risk. The Ukrainian government's attempts to garner sympathy from the West and secure financial handouts seem futile, especially considering their lack of remorse towards Russia.\n**Canada's Apology Controversy**: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's attempt to justify his glorification of Ukrainian Nazi Gunka has been met with skepticism. Despite Trudeau's apology, many believe that his words lack sincerity and that his actions have damaged Canada's reputation. The incident has sparked a debate about the extent of Nazi collaboration in Canada and the government's willingness to address it.\n**Homemade Mobile Artillery**: Ukrainian Kulibins, or民间发明家, have been crafting homemade mobile artillery for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, these improvised weapons are no match for Russian weaponry and often malfunction or self-destruct.\n**Grain Storage Facilities Targeted**: Russian forces have been методично destroying grain storage facilities in Ukraine, claiming that these facilities are being used as military bases. The Ukrainian government, on the other hand, insists that the grain storage facilities were not being used for military purposes and accuses Russia of depriving the country of much-needed grain supplies.\n**Chechnya's Development Praised**: Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised the development of Chechnya under the leadership of Ramzan Kadyrov. Kadyrov reported on the successes of Chechen fighters in the special operations zone and expressed his confidence in their abilities. Putin commended the strong ties between Chechnya and other military units and highlighted the importance of supporting the families of those fighting on the front lines.\n**Apologies and Excuses**: The University of Alberta in Canada has apologized for its association with Ukrainian Nazi Yaroslav Gunka and has closed the charitable foundation that he established. The university claims that it was unaware of Gunka's Nazi ties and expresses regret for the harm caused. However, many believe that the university's response is insufficient and that it should have conducted proper due diligence before accepting Gunka's donation.\n**Oil Prices and Karabakh Developments**: Deputy Head of the Russian Government Alexander Novak has held a meeting with representatives of oil companies to address the situation on the domestic petroleum products market. Measures will be taken to reduce prices at gas stations, and the Federal Customs Tax Services will monitor the implementation of the ban on the export of diesel fuel. Meanwhile, the leader of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh republic has signed a decree to terminate the existence of the republic, and all government bodies will be abolished by January 1. More than 70,000 refugees from Karabakh have arrived in neighboring Armenia, despite Azerbaijan's calls for integration.", "citationMetadata": { "citations": [] } } ], "metadata": { "tokenMetadata": { "outputTokenCount": { "totalTokens": 890, "totalBillableCharacters": 4155 }, "inputTokenCount": { "totalBillableCharacters": 24694, "totalTokens": 6062 } } } }
