Ukraine counter offensive

Germany refuse to give Ukraine Taurus cruise missiles

This is yet another shortsighted attitude of the West: they want Ukraine to push Russia out but won’t provide the equipment to do the job

Apparently they are concerned Taurus missiles could reach Moscow, which is mad given Taurus has a 300 mile range and Moscow is 800 miles from the Ukraine front line

One Ukrainian brigade had defended the same block of industrial buildings for months without a break. Another had been in Avdiivka for nearly the entire two years of the war, bone-tired but with no replacements to relieve them. Ammunition was low, and the Russians conducted dozens of airstrikes every day, using “glide bombs” to obliterate even fortified positions.

Russian soldiers came in waves: First lightly armed grunts, to force the Ukrainian defenders to spend precious bullets, followed by well-trained soldiers. Sometimes there were ambushes involving special forces or saboteurs who popped out of tunnels. As morale plummeted, a battalion commander — in charge of hundreds of men — vanished under murky circumstances, according to law enforcement documents seen by The Associated Press. One of the soldiers with him was found dead. The commander and another soldier with them haven’t been seen since.

The battles for Mariupol and Bakhmut are well known but the fighting in and around Avdiivka has been largely ignored since the start of the war. The only way out was to get wounded, go to jail or die. If the West fails to supply these troops with ammunition and supplies it will all have been for nothing.
