Ukrainian Counterattacks Compound Russia’s Military Problem 

There is no headline like the Times' in WaPo, Guardian or Google's aggregated news so I fucking searched "Ukraine counterattacks" and found this Voice of America article.

Okay, first of all, "Ukrainian Counterattacks" is not the fucking same as "Ukraine Counterattacks." The latter is unified across many fronts. The former could be groups of 15 guys here, there, and there, who decide they're sick and tire of playing rope-a-dope.

Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said Wednesday in a tweet that a series of counter offensives in “several operational areas” had altered the warring “parties' dispositions.” And Oleksiy Arestovych, another aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said small-scale Ukrainian counterattacks meant Russian forces have not managed to clear the “main hotspots” around Kyiv and there is little chance they will as “Russia has used up its resources.”

See? "Small scale." Second of all, Podolyak: Is not his another neck I have previously expressed desire to wring? I repeat my desire, growing more ardent, in re Quasi necks.
