This counteroffensive is rather feeble...

⚡️Numerous Russian sources claim that their forces were able to retake the town of Makarivka from Ukraine.

The town of Makarivka was lost and then recaptured by the Russians? This is a feeble counteroffensive if they're unable to consolidate on gains made on the battlefield. Defense is easy. Combined Arms in the attack are hard. No wonder we don't hear the chest thumping anymore from the Ukrainian side. 

I say again. 

Turn off this war before even more lives and treasure are lost. Everyone has diplomats for a reason. It's past time those bubbas earned their pay.
