Critical response from a very pro-Ukrainian account. Seems pretty pissed at Ukrainian leadership.
" The primary goal was to sever the Russian land corridor to Crimea, with the assumption that this would eventually lead to isolating Crimea, provided the bridge would be destroyed.
Another objective was to liberate at least Tokmak, as Tarnavskyi himself stated, and potentially Melitopol.
We were unable to reach the operational space effectively or penetrate all lines of defense, which is why there was no maneuver.
Russian logistical routes and control over the territory remained overall intact, with some tactical losses.
We employed two corps and a significant number of 155mm artillery pieces from South Korea, but only managed to liberate a few villages. The presidential adviser himself stated that they would be in Crimea by the end of summer.
Russian forces are not defeated or forced to retreat; they are currently conducting two offensives in Kupiansk and Avdiivka, which forced the 47th brigade to move from the South to Avdiivka. The strategic initiative is shifting back to Russia.
Our offensive potential is exhausted, and our ammunition is depleted, while the Russians have received a new batch of ammunition, which they will likely use this winter to make gains, as we expended resources without achieving significant goals."
Sure.
