I can even make you happy. On the sixth day of continuous attacks, Russian occupiers in the Kharkov region have already captured 190 square kilometers of Ukrainian land and a dozen villages. The occupiers are making the most of the temporary difficulty with weapons from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but they are already arriving at the front. Soon Russian soldiers will feel this and will not be happy that they came to visit uninvited. But this Russian offensive has already slowed down. When the Russians captured a significant part of the Kharkov region in 2022, they also said that they had come forever. But then they ran away in such a way that they abandoned a lot of serviceable armored vehicles in order to run away faster than they could go. It will be so this time too.
This time is completely different. Firstly, Ukraine has already lost this war. It's pretty much clear for any sane person. You have no army left as simple as that. Everyone who wanted to fight Russians is already dead or crippled. To turn the tide you need to recruit at least 400-500.000 troops ASAP which would finish off the already badly battered economy of Ukraine. There are reports coming from the frontline that Ukrainian troops are surrendering en masse. Units located to the north of Kharkiv and mostly territorial defence units, poorly trained and equipped, mostly with low morale. The average age of AFU troops has reached 50+ years. Taking into account all of the above, I can claim that even all the weapons in the world won't help AFU.
Well, how is the Russian offensive in the north of the Kharkiv region developing, which began on May 10 and to which, as you described, Ukraine has countered "mostly poorly trained and equipped territorial defense units, which are mostly over 50 years old and have low morale? Just as they entered the border town of Volchansk in the first days, they have been stuck there until now. The other day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces even destroyed the Russians, who broke through to the Volchansk Aggregate Plant in the first days of the offensive and have been fighting practically surrounded all this time.
And on August 6, the Ukrainian Armed Forces entered the Kursk region of Russia near the Kharkiv region, captured over a hundred settlements with a territory of about 1,300 square kilometers, and the Russians can do nothing about it. Now the Kremlin is gathering conscripts to organize the defense of its territory, throwing into battle flight personnel and airfield service personnel, UAV operators as infantry, tank crews, crews of warships, that is, the entire elite, which needs a long time to prepare for combat operations and which is not effective as attack aircraft. Including transferring some units from the front in Ukraine, removing them from the Kharkov direction.
It should be especially noted that Ukraine really effectively used the population as a territorial defense, while Russia failed to do this. For the simple reason that the local population does not want to fight for Putin or even for their homeland. Before this period, Russia mainly called up for the army on a contract basis for a lot of money, and only money stimulated Russians to go to war and even die. But their flow is ending, despite the sharp increase in payments in the last period.
Russia spends 300 million dollars every day on the war with Ukraine, while a significant part of the territory is not gasified, the public utilities are falling apart and almost all social projects are being curtailed. No matter how this war ends, for the people of Russia it will mean a beggarly existence.
