Whatever the goal of the offensive was, it was definitely not achieved.Russia’s high-profile offensive on Kharkiv a month after it began can already be considered a complete failure. And not least because of the stupidity of the Russian leadership, writes The Telegraph .
According to the author of the article, one can only guess now why the Russians launched an offensive in Kharkiv Oblast on May 10 – an attempt to capture Kharkiv, create a buffer zone, or simply distract the Armed Forces from Donbas.
“Russia’s advance to Victory Day failed on all counts. Ukraine can thank the resilience of its tired infantry, the foresight of its leaders, the hasty supply of ammunition from the United States, and, in equal measure, the sheer stupidity and overconfidence of Russia’s leaders,” the publication says.
The author of the article notes that the Russian offensive in Kharkiv is to some extent a reflection of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 – smaller in scale, but just as stupid. If we consider the offensive as an attempt to capture Kharkiv, then the case failed in the first few days. If the goal of the Russians was to create a “buffer zone” near the border, the only significant result was the lifting of the ban on strikes by Western weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation.
The author of the article considers the Russian offensive to be a failure, even if the goal was to withdraw Ukrainian forces from Donbas and deliver the main blow there.
“Yes, the Ukrainian military moved entire battalions, perhaps entire brigades, from the south and east to the north to meet the Russian advance. But they had enough strength. The Ukrainian military had enough well-armed troops to hold and strengthen their positions in the south and east in the north,” the author emphasizes.

Nothing changes in mafia land. Attack civilians and their infrastructure hoping to cause panic, but once again Ukrainians proved they are definitely not russians. I’m just waiting for the excuses to come out. No we didn’t try to take Kharkiv, no we didn’t want a buffer zone (despite putler saying that exact thing), and it was just a distraction to draw Ukrainians from other areas.
The Ukrainian military are under no illusion of “russian stupidity.” There are half a million of the cunts and they continue to be an existential threat. Like all limited creatures they learn from their mistakes, as Ukrainian troops will confirm.
In the IRA’s decades long campaign of murdering children and civilians, MI5 used to rely on “the paddy factor”, but eventually they became very effective at their obscene, filthy campaign of murder, torture and intimidation.
British security had finally defeated them, but then Bill Clinton and his friend Tony Blair dumped the “Good Friday Agreement” on the Loyalists. It turned out to be a sack of shit like everything Clinton did.
The putinaZis are a sly, evil enemy; but not stupid. They may well employ foul, subhuman orcs, but find good use for them.
Never underrate a military of this size and determination. They are and will be an existential threat until the allies provide a level of support that is commensurate with the size and implacable nazi determination of the putler murder gang.
“the only significant result was the lifting of the ban on strikes by Western weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation.”
From Defense Express:
“No S-300 missiles have been fired at the territory of Kharkiv for the last two days. This is due to the fact that our partners allowed us to hit the territory of our neighbors. The Armed Forces of Ukraine simply destroyed some of their systems. We are only worried about guided bombs and flights of russian aviation,” Skoryk said.

Indeed, Mr. Slimpan, the days of orcs having a safe haven in the shithole are over.
The offensive in Kharkiv failed? The entire war has failed.
