The Russian Defense Ministry claims its troops resisted a "large-scale" attack from Ukrainian forces in the eastern Donetsk region as talks around a Ukrainian counteroffensive increase. However, officials in Ukraine posted a social media video urging silence over any potential news of a counteroffensive. CNN's Fred Pleitgen reports, and CNN's Erin Burnett discusses with Ret. Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling. #CNN #News

    Ukraine: let's not talk about the counteroffensive. CNN: let's talk lots about the counteroffensive.

    Cause they’re getting their ass kicked and don’t want to admit it.

    Imagine paying money to study journalism and this was the best title you can come up with.

    You guys cover this story like its a movie, or even a football game. I'm surprised you guys aren't streaming it live in a stadium packed with 20,000 people with their faces painted blue/yellow.

    It almost feels like an orchestra conductor tapping his music stand with his stick to silence the ensemble before they begin.

    A little late for secrecy now... They might want to issue orders for troops to stop live streaming their positions on tiktok too... Doesn't require a military strategist to figure that out...
  • @HamburgerMolester
    Oh NOW they want their counter offensives secret. Been telling the world about every move theyre going to make since this thing started.
  • @Zaaxun
    Does that really need to be explained. A five year old can figure that out.
  • @moriahgamesdev
    Lets talk about them not wanting us to talk about it.
