I like how everyone is talking about Kharkov offensive and conveniently forgot about the disastrous Kherson offensive.
I must criticize the Russian army for one thing, though. They made it too obvious that they never intended to hold either area in the first place. They are several report that Russian troop didn’t simply pack up and leave - they ALREADY packed up expecting to leave, and it wasn’t until the third day where someone point out that they should try to at least pretend to care about the territory.
[Which speak a lot when you consider how terrible Ukrainian military did in Kherson]
I like how the old guy have the look of “how am I going to politely say your grandpa is a piece of shit” on his face.
