Is that because the rocket mass is higher than Saturn V?  That would make it the "largest rocket ever" even if it's less capable.

To tell you the truth I'm not entirely sure.  I've read different things, and the answers seem inconsistent.  The core stage of SLS uses solid rocket boosters, which give it a leg up on the thrust, but also add some weight.  The Apollo CSM had a much more powerful engine because when it was first designed there was some thought that they were going to need a big engine to lift off the moon (before the LM was finalized).  

If the thrust is higher, so is payload unless the empty weight is higher.  Either way, this discussion is pretty disappointing, to me.  This thing is basically an uprated space shuttle that is not reusable.

Ukraine said Monday that its forces launched a military offensive in multiple directions in the south.
It said an offensive push broke through some front-line Russian defenses near the occupied city Kherson.
The move possibly signals the start of a long-awaited Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Ukraine says its forces have launched a major military offensive against Russian positions in multiple directions in the country's southern region on Monday, possibly signaling the start of a long-anticipated counteroffensive.

"The Armed Forces of Ukraine have breached the occupiers' first line of defense near Kherson," Ukraine's strategic communications center, part of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, said in a statement. "They believe that Ukraine has a real chance to get back its occupied territories, especially considering the very successful use of Western weapons by the Ukrainian army."
