Ukraine’s October Was a Disaster

A review of the Ukraine War in October reveals Ukraine is losing the war badly. Russia took 27 settlements in October alone. The failing war effort by Ukraine is beginning to trickle down to the Ukrainian people, who are losing confidence in their leaders that they can deliver the victory they were promised.

Ukrainian deputy Anny Skorokhod admitted that the number of Ukrainian desertions has hit 100,000, with an average of 900 Ukrainian soldiers deserting per day. Retired Colonel of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Oleg Starikov claimed “… the Armed Forces of Ukraine are experiencing a tactical crisis in many areas of the SMO zone. I am now showing the real situation that is happening. The real crisis was in one direction, and now – in many.”

Excerpt:

The sweeping offensive by the Russian Federation forces is taking the Ukrainian army to a breaking point for lack of human resources, artillery shells, tanks, planes, drones, and missiles.

But mostly, lack of men.

Russia has captured over 700 square miles in Ukraine since August – and that is a reality that is starting to be openly discussed by the Ukrainians themselves and is also beginning to reach the MSM.

Moscow troops conquered a total of 27 settlements just in the month of October – I checked: Vishnevoye, Verkhnekamenskoye, Ugledar, Zhelannoye Vtoroye, Grodovka, Zolotaya Niva, Zoryanoye Pervoye, Ostrovskoye, Mikhailovka, Levadnoye, Krasny Yar, Nevskoye, Maksimilyanovka, Zoryanoye, Novosadovoye, Nikolaevka, Alexandropol, Izmailovka, Tsukurino, Katerinovka, Gornyak, Dobrovolye, Selidovo, Krugliakovka, Yasnaya Polyana, Leonidovka, Novoukrainka, and Shakhtyorkoye.

While this may look like a meaningless list of foreign names with no significance, it stands to reason that it was a LOT of places, between villages and cities, as the steamroller proceeds unabated by the defenses.
