Ukraine admits: counteroffensive stalled
The Ukraine counteroffensive has stalled in the face of Russian air superiority, with many units running out of ammunition.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have apparently admitted that their counteroffensive was launched, and the Russians have stopped it.
From Ukraine – operational pause
The British Ministry of Defence reported that Russian forces have gained the advantage on Ukraine, Human Events said yesterday. The Ministry dropped this thread on Saturday describing the situation on the ground in Ukraine:

(1/3) Since the start of Ukrainian counter-offensive operations in southern Ukraine, Russia has re-enforced its attack helicopter force in the region.— Ministry of Defence
(3/3) In the constant contest between aviation measures and counter-measures, it is likely that Russia has gained a temporary advantage in southern Ukraine, especially with attack helicopters employing longer-range missiles against ground targets.— Ministry of Defence
Human Events also quote The Wall Street Journal as essentially saying Russia has air superiority in the battle zone. In fact, Ukraine’s antiaircraft batteries are running out of ammunition.
Red Voice Media carried this interview between Human Events’ Jack Posobiec and Col. Rob Maness USAF (retired).
“Just two weeks into the start of their counteroffensive. I’ve never heard of such a thing,” said Posobiec.
On Twitter, the catcalls came thick and fast. Most observed that the United States government has once again wasted its money.
