Are you ready for some dumbfounded, headscratching Retardation?
Elena the Comedian of Kivv claims that the offensive was postponed because they didn't have enough ammunition and enough time to train. He's blaming the lack of time for the delay of the counteroffensive:
The reason why the counteroffensive was delayed is because they needed to train people. Because they needed to train people the counteroffensive was delayed. What were the people he sent to Bakhmut, wave of reinforcement after reinforcement doing? O yes, they were buying time to train more people. What were they doing in Bakhmut if we learn that they had no ammunition, but they were using Bakhmut to buy time, AND to grind down the Russians, they called it, unironically, a meatgrinder for Russian Forces, but if they had no ammunition were they doing any grinding?!
Because the counteroffensive began later, Zelenskyy said, speaking through a translator, “it provided Russia with time to mine all our lands and build several lines of defense. And, definitely, they had even more time than they needed. Because of that, they built more of those lines. And, really, they had a lot of mines in our fields.”
They had built the majority of those defensive lines in November and December!
If you can't see the date below the title, it was published December 14!
As for the mines he complains about, the Russians can mine an area in a matter of hours, and they have more than one remote mining system that can mine entire sectors in a matter of minutes.
“Because of that, a slower pace of our counteroffensive actions. We didn’t want to lose our people, our personnel.
The loses in the offensive, they weren't heavy losses!
They had confirmed at least 30% losses of the equipment, visually confirmed, the media spin makes it seem that 30% is THE MOST though:
Those hundreds of videos and images of burning, destroyed and abandoned Bradley, AMX-10, MaxxPro, Leopards make the Western Presstitutes come out with more of these "at most" cope headlines:
Elena goes to say:
And our servicemen didn’t want to lose equipment because of that,” he told Zakaria.
They trained those soldiers on these armoured coffins on specifically breaching Russian defenses with them only to send them on foot!
This Responsible Statecraft article titled aptly "Why Ukraine’s counter-offensive is failing" explains this folly from the beginning of this counteroffensive:
The article goes on to talk about these "slow" and "careful" tactics:
Trying to put a good face on the situation, Western officials and analysts told the Washington Post on Tuesday that “Ukraine’s military has so far embraced an attrition-based approach aimed largely at creating vulnerabilities in Russian lines.” That is not accurate. The UAF haven’t “embraced” an attrition-based approach, they have changed tactics to leading with small groups of dismounted infantry to try and penetrate Russia’s leading trench lines out of sheer necessity. Leading with armor simply won’t work, and if Ukraine had persisted in trying large armored assaults, they would have continued dying in large numbers.
The problem for Kyiv is that this “approach” is virtually certain to fail. The military geography of this entire region of Ukraine is characterized by open, flat terrain, interspersed with thin forest strips. Because Russia owns the skies and has considerable drone capacity, any time the Ukrainian soldiers move in the open, they are immediately subjected to artillery or mortar fire. If any armored vehicles move in the open, they are likewise quickly destroyed. The best the UAF can do is infiltrate small numbers of infantrymen into trenches where Russian forces are located.
It’s not that Zelensky’s forces are “going slowly” forward, it’s that they aren’t attaining any of their initial tactical objectives on the way to the Azov coast and it’s precisely because the combat fundamentals necessary to win are largely (and in some cases entirely) absent. They flatly don’t have the human resources or physical infrastructure necessary to succeed.
They NEVER had either the time, or the resources to hold the Russians back, let alone try and push them back. The was evident from the start. Russia started with a third the troops Kivv had, and did so without air superiority, or with massive civilian casualties like the US in Iraq and elsewhere. They suffered a setback in Kupyansk but considering they had effectively neutralized Ukraine’s starting army by that point, it served as a good wake up call that Kivv was determined to lose a second army it had been amassing in the west of the country:
In the south they lost by their estimates "five to one" Ukrainians for every Russian, though this might be 2-3x that based on the 10-20 to one ratio of videos from that time of Russians destroying the Kivv assaults compared to videos published by Kivv (a trend that has not been broken since), and never managed to break through.
That's when the tactic was to let them break themselves on Russian defenses, in effect containing the destruction to the static front lines. The Russians even came out and said this:

What has changed for Elena and Crew other than some of the equipment attacking, is that now the defenders are entrenched and they've mined extensively where as before the Banderites were lured into kill zones for Russian artillery, air and armour to destroy, now they're pulled into one 20-50 mile wide continuous killzone that chews their men and burns their equipment, with insane Kivv clown persisting with the same retarded tactics of trying to break through, which failed in Kherson and traded measly territorial gains in Kharkov for a good portion of the army while the Russians suffered significantly less casualties and equipment loss. The article from Responsible Statecraft concludes that this is not feasible, as any reasonable person would see:
But here's the West and Queef Circus:
So they postponed the Offensive because they needed time to train, and they failed at even reaching the first line of defense, let alone the Anti Armor trenches and dragon teeth, but by next year, Russian defenses and forces will be much more susceptible to a breakthrough!
The breakthrough at Kupyansk:
The breakthrough at Tors'ke last week:
Then:
Now:
Now just gibes him more!
I'm sure the Russians don't have almost 150 million people and the will to defend their brethren in Ukraine from the clowns in Kivv, Queef just needs their billions, some more time and they'll break through next year!
If there was only an even better way at illustrating the insanity:
