It's all propaganda, you keep getting different reports because its all just fake news.
This was reported by pro-RU sources such as Igor Girkin first as far as I know, and there's other proof coming out now. It is true that Ukraine has pushed back the Russian advance in that particular city. Whether it will stay that way is anyone's guess.
Why hasn't Ukraine won by now ? according to very early reports they were inflicting massive losses against the Russians and since then they have had so much more hardware and support you would expect the Russians would be wiped or at least driven from Ukraine by now.
They are fighting a massive war on multiple fronts against an enemy with a lot of resources. The hardware supplied to them (especially heavy equipment like artillery) has not been in sufficient quantities (yet, hopefully). Even if it was, a total victory - removing Russia from their territory - is not going to happen over night if it's even possible. Whether they've inflicted massive losses on Russian forces is not even debatable at this stage as the photographic evidence is there for all to see. They've probably received massive losses in return which is less reported on.
Russians were meant to be near the end of their stock piles of artillery several weeks ago yet they upped their artillery strikes and are still going strong today.
I haven't seen this claimed at all and I've spent way too much time following this. What people have claimed, and could be the case, is that they've burned through a high percentage of their precision missile stock that will be difficult to replace due to sanctions. I doubt anyone really knows how true this is but they certainly don't seem to be using as many as they were in the early weeks of the war.
Then you get reports of some mythical Ukrainian pilot that takes out Squadrons all on his own.
Only an idiot would believe this. The Ukrainian armed forces actually posted something a while back saying such rumours are harmful to them.
Russians are stuck in the mud and that convoy won't be able to move ?
Well, that convoy never did make much progress did it? Stuck on a road and harassed up until the Russian retreat from the Kyiv region I believe.
Anybody who questions these ridiculous claims gets called comrade or a Putin supporter.
You get called a Putin supporter when you repost Russian propaganda like this:
Those supposed brave Azov fighters were using women and children as human shields to hide behind.
For which there is no proof.
People post of these Ukrainian victories all day long and act as if Russian has had none, then why haven't Ukraine won or at least driven the Russians out of their lands.
Literally everyone following this war knows Russia has had victories of their own. However, since launching the invasion they've fully retreated from one axis after accomplishing nothing except murdering a whole bunch of civilians and have made little progress on most of the others. Only on one front (south) have they achieved some/all of their goals. From a pre-war perspective this is quite astonishing to a lot of people.
People don't even seem to realise that even with all this hardware and support Ukraine are unable to drive Russia out is because a lot of them are not soldiers. These are just civilians who are forced to defend, they were not given a choice and I'm sure plenty would rather not be fighting Americas proxy war.
The simple reason they can't drive them out is because they haven't been supplied enough hardware. The vast vast majority of Ukrainians under arms will have had military training. Even TDF are reservists and ex-combat veterans. I doubt the actual untrained volunteers are used for anything other than checkpoints and such to watch for saboteurs because in real combat with no training they'd just be a liability. As for this being a proxy war...well if it is, it's one that can be ended in a single day on the orders of one man.
