Experiencing an arguably shittier week than his once-most valuable asset, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on Friday admitted his armies were getting their asses kicked on the battlefield, amid a serious counteroffensive from Kyiv, telling a Kremlin news outlet that in “recent days, we have seen significant losses in Ukraine, they exceed the classical figure,” the Daily Beast reports.
“It can be stated that all counteroffensive attempts made so far have failed, but the offensive potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has still been preserved,” Putin added, which translated to non-political speak (after the lie about prior counteroffensives failing) is “Yeah, we should be prepared to lose this war but not before more of you ants die pointlessly for my glory.”
