Your beloved Putin, the master strategist and exemplar of Russian virtue, is taking an awful beating. Not only is his army a Potemkin army, his industrial base is too.

What counter offensive?
The one in Kherson, which chewed up the Ukrainians in a more strategically important area.
The offensive in Kharhive is against mainly militia forces not regular Russian forces and is designed for optics and headlines especially since Europe is unraveling and tax payers in the US want to see something for their money.
