Fun fact: there's 5x as many people in the area that ukraine has captured in the last three weeks (empty woods and wilderness!)..than the area Russia has captured in the past 7 months.
Absolutely. Completely. Meaningless.

Of course it's meaningless.
But your buddy in arms, Comrade Cockholster Trinidad, is insisting that Ukraine's invasion of Russia was stupid and meaningless..... because it's all empty woods.
I was just pointing out the uncomfortable fact that it held way more people than the area gained by Russia. Which he sees as significant .
The fact is that Ukraine is in Russia to stay. Until Russia decides to stop fighting. The sooner the better.

Major natural gas metering station, and railroads mean nothing to Putin.

WTF does that worthless piece of shat think he is?
If Zelensky is a POS it's about like a rabbit kit's poo. On the other hand, while I have never seen one I figure the animal poo analog to Putin is in the neighborhood of a blue whale shite after gorging itself at a Vegas-sized krill buffet. IOW your guy is a massive shithead.
I wonder why the Putin fluffers just gave up on even trying to reference the war on the ground almost exactly 3 weeks ago. No worries they just got invaded by a tiny neighbor. Setting aside the misery of it all I can't stop
at these Russian chucklefricks.

ISW Update Aug 26th

Key Takeaways:
Russia conducted one of the largest combined series of drone and missile strikes against Ukrainian critical infrastructure to date on August 26.
Ukraine issued a warning to Belarus amid the recent buildup of Belarusian forces at the Ukrainian border in Belarus' Gomel Oblast.
The current Belarusian build-up along the Ukrainian border is likely intended to divert and stretch Ukrainian forces along a wider frontline, as ISW continues to assess that Belarusian forces remain unlikely to invade Ukraine due to constraints facing Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
Ukrainian forces reportedly attempted to strike Engels Air Base in Saratov Oblast and an oil refinery in Yaroslavl Oblast with drones on the morning of August 26.
Ukrainian forces continued offensive operations within their salient in Kursk Oblast on August 26, but neither Russian nor Ukrainian forces made any significant confirmed or claimed advances.
The Kremlin may be leveraging the leadership of the prominent Kremlin-linked Rybar Telegram channel to set cultivate increased Russian influence in Iraq.
Russian Presidential Administration Deputy Head Sergei Kiriyenko was reportedly in charge of a Kremlin think tank that tried and failed to establish rhetorical justifications for Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine after the fact, underscoring the Kremlin's rhetorical failures in the first months of the war and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s continued prioritization of loyalty over competency in officials.
Russian forces recently advanced northeast of Kharkiv City, north of Chasiv Yar, southeast of Pokrovsk, and west of Donetsk City.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) continues to recruit foreigners to fight with the Russian military in Ukraine.

According to my friends who live in Russia and recently took the train to St Petersburg it is well on its way. Normally the overnight train takes 8 hours which means that train averages around 88 km/hr. It took them almost 18 hours this time. That is an average speed of 39 km/hr. It was so bad that they took a bus back. It was not a nice bus either. My friend said it looked like it had been transported from 1985 to today. He said it still had the Hammer and Sickle on the head pillows
Who do they blame for this?

Well after today's bombing of the power infrastructure I think we can safely say "turn out the lights the party's over".
So says the oracle who predicted Vovchansk to fall within 2 days. That was over 3 months ago and since then the Russians have lost ground there. By all means, keep making the predictions of an idiot. They are entertaining.

Is it possible that Ukraine can actually gain territory in this war?

“It took 15 years to build, and it fell apart in a week!” – A new video has emerged from the oil depot in Proletarsk, Rostov region.
The Rosrezerva oil depot, which has been engulfed in flames since August 18, continues to burn as firefighters struggle to bring the blaze under control. Despite efforts, the fire remains unabated, and at least 47 firefighters have been injured during the ongoing firefighting operations.
The city of Proletarsk is still enveloped in thick smoke, leading to a surge in demand for gauze bandages and masks. Each night, black dust laced with a multi-colored oil film settles on the streets, further complicating the situation for the residents.

Russian hackers crashed the website of France's national cybersecurity agency, which is handling the Durov's case
"The French national cyber unit is flying offline. France, would you seriously trust such an agency to lead an investigation?" - said representatives of the EvilWeb group, showing the result of their attack: the agency's website down since yesterday.
Earlier Reuters reported that France's national cybercrime unit and the national anti-fraud office are investigating the Pavel Durov's case.

The Russian Defense Ministry has started recruiting Indonesians for the war with Ukraine
Recently, the Armenian battalion ArBat, which is part of the Pyatnashka international brigade, announced the recruitment of volunteers from Indonesia. The training of the recruits will take place in the occupied part of Donetsk region.
Also attached to the post is a video presumably with three Indonesian citizens saying "'ArBat' is power".
After the invasion of Ukraine, Nepalese citizens also began to sign contracts with the Russian army more frequently. Nova-Europe's special correspondent Irina Kravtsova visited the South Asian country and told how the poor were seduced by the easy money - and paid for it.

Russia redeploys 30,000 troops to Kursk – Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief
Alona Mazurenko — Tuesday, 27 August 2024, 13:44
Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, has said that Russia deployed 30,000 troops to Russia’s Kursk Oblast and that the number of Russian soldiers there was growing every day.
Source: Syrskyi during the Forum of Heads of State Institutions
Quote: "One of the objectives of the offensive on the Kursk front was to divert significant enemy forces from other areas. First of all, it concerns the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove fronts.
The enemy understands this and focuses on the Pokrovsk front, where its most capable units are concentrated.
Of course, the Kursk operation diverted a significant amount of enemy forces. Currently, we can say that about 30,000 Russian servicemen have been deployed to the Kursk front, and this number is growing. At the same time, the enemy is trying not to withdraw units from other areas, and on the contrary, is increasing its presence on the Pokrovsk front."

When will you guys realize there was never an objective to supply ukraine with enough to win the war, just enough to bleed the US taxpayer for as long as possible. ukraine was never meant to, nor will it win this dustup.
Your thesis would make more sense if it were about bleeding Russia dry via US taxpayer dollars and Ukrainian lives. I think the west still actually does WANT Ukraine to win, but I don't think they expect it or truly care if they do at this point. Russia is neutered and the NATO state got expanded, weapons manufacturers will have orders coming in for the foreseeable future even if this ends tomorrow. And if Ukraine were to win they have to make sure Russia lands on pillows and not pavement when they crash.... they aren't actually worried about Putin, but rather what comes after. In a fractured Russia, the militant Islamist portion could absolutely grab power and therefore nukes.

Ukraine used F-16s to repel Russia's mass missile attack, Zelensky confirms
by Elsa Court and The Kyiv Independent news desk August 27, 2024 4:36 PM
Ukraine's Air Force used F-16 jets as part of its defense against Russia's mass missile and drone attack on Aug. 26, President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed during a press conference on Aug. 27.
Russia targeted 15 of Ukraine's 24 oblasts on Aug. 26, launching over 200 missiles and drones as part of the largest-ever aerial attack against Ukraine.
Strikes hit several civilian, energy, and fuel facilities, including a dam in Kyiv, part of the Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Plant, killing seven people and injuring at least 47 others.
Ukraine downed 102 missiles and 99 drones of the 127 missiles and 109 drones launched by Russia during the morning attack.
F-16s gave "a very good result," Zelensky told reporters. "As part of this huge attack, we shot down some missiles and drones with the help of F-16s."

That was a thing over a year ago. Not so much a concern of the West, except for maybe Biden.

They need to add some experienced F16 pilots and maintenance people to the hiring.
