Some EU statistics that might be interesting. (Figures not including the UK or Norway, I presume). EU meeting press brief in Brussels, 31 Jan. 2024. Josep Borrell and Ludivine Dedonder.
NB: only 155mm shells were mentioned. But we already know that some ex. Warsaw Pact nations are providing 152mm shells to UA. If those countries are in the EU now I assume those 152mm shells are also included in these numbers.
Borrell: The EU has so far provided €28 billion of military equipment and support to Ukraine since 2022. The commitment by the EU member states for 2024 so far is €21 billion, and that figure will be adjusted upwards because some states are still pending. The EU have trained 40,000 soldiers, and another 20,000 by this summer.
The EU ammo initiative: the member states promised last year to deliver 1 million arty shells per year. Since last March until Jan. 2024, 330,000 shells have been delivered. By March 2024 there will be another 200,000 shells. By the end of 2024 planned deliveries will reach more than 1 million shells. The situation is however changing every day.
The EU arty production capacity has increased by 40% since Feb 2022. Today the production capacity is 1 million shells/year. By the end of 2024 the capacity will be 1,4 million. It will continue to increase because the industry has been mobilised. Procurement contracts have the remaining spare capacity for an estimated volume of 1,5 billions. (I think Borrell meant €1,5 billion, not sure).
Borrell: “We need to move from an emergency mode for support to UA, to a long-term approach”.
Dedonder, in French and autotranslated, in short: The EU will provide short-term and long-term support to UA. €28 billion is not enough and we will certainly not stop there. Belgium will double its UA aid. The EU industry will produce at least 1 million shells. An enormous amount of work has been done here especially by the Breton commissioner (?) who visited lots of countries. Strengthening of the EU defence industry is needed. It's not easy after many years of disarmaments. We need to put everyone back on track. Everyone has understood the issues. There will be a paradigm shift and structural adaptation. She also mentioned rapid deployment capability in the EU.
A journalist asked what the unbalance on the UA battlefield is. Borrell wouldn't give exact numbers presumably due to OPSEC. But he said UA needs more support and he has passed on to the member states that they need to do more, and quicker. The battle is fierce.
Another journalist asked why we are only at 52% of our ammo goal and what lessons can be learnt from this. Borrell: “It's about creating momentum, setting a goal and expanding. When we said 1 million shells the production capacities were not well identified. We managed to increase capacity by 40%. At the end of the year there will be a new goal. I don't know because the process changes every day. But we have gained speed. There is an initial inertia. But when the movement has begun it's the energy which sets up the factory. We have frameworks for joint procurements. It's about creating a positive dynamic. We will reach a ceiling and continue there permanently. Europe must increase its defense capabilities. Today to help UA and tomorrow to help ourselves.”
Thank you for this video. The recent gossip and idle speculation can now end . From the horses mouth is the only way to receive information. No half-baked and slanted opinions from those who think they know.
General Zaluznhy is a mastermind. His plan is futuristic - better saying holistic - and it has been in play since the beginning.
Indeed, Glory to Ukraine.
He is above all, realistic. Proof that he's not politically oriented. He gives it a wide berth because it is outside of his control. He is playing the hand he's dealt, with what he's got to bet. No moaning, whining, complaining. Here's where we are. Here's what we need to do to win. He's given the government an actual goal or task list that is within Ukraine's abilities to focus and provide, and within his estimated abilities to carry out. As a political leader in a nation at war, you wish that all of your cabinet leaders could provide such clarity.
I will not refrain from my original suggestion to the UDF that along with their continued development of higher technological capabilities such as UAV's, UGV's)Ground) etc. they get to know the enemy - rather, use their knowledge of the enemy (their societal siblings over the past several hundred years!) and employ combat 'jujitsu' - that is instead of resisting the momentum of the average Russian, ROLL WITH the momentum, exerting control to increase the momentum until they collapse under the force of the burden of their own weakness. To explain: Ukrainians, being closely integrated with Russia since the 17th century, understand that Russian men will embrace the Russian cultural icon - VODKA- every time this elixir is delivered into their presence. This concept is TOO SIMPLE for the egg-heads, the 'think-tankers' to even comprehend. They are too addicted to expending trillions of dollars in systems, men, munitions and machines, designing strategies around them, maneuvering them in complex expensive and often FAILED operations, firing at each other trying to out-kill the enemy. They are trapped in their own group think illusion that a significant portion of national wealth and blood is the answer to defeating the enemy they are too lazy to understand. If they were on a soccer team against another team of equal ability with ONE exception; the opponent had just consumed a case of Russia's finest potato vodka- EVERYONE knows which team would win and who would lose~! And easily! EVERYONE knows that if the Russian occupier conscripts shivering, poorly fed, poorly led, lonesome for the Mommy-Land were delivered a bottle of Russia's Finest to cuddle up with and dream of home, borscht, their family while Ukrainian heroes safely approach their positions, this war would end quickly with much fewer dead Russians AND Ukrainians!!

Isn't he getting fired?
@@I-have-a-brain_and-use-it I think the 65% was accurate, but since the progress was so slow, it gave the Russians time to reinforce the 2nd line. In most near peer conflicts, the enemy tends to have a say in the outcome.
Fortunately, in more ways than one. The designer of the Surovikin Line went away with the Wagner Group.
Zelensky is really trying to fired him!!!
Isn’t it sort of ironic that the Z army is being demolished by the ZZ army?
I love when General Zaluzhnyi puts his thoughts in print. I wish the mainstream media journalists were able to read and understand them, rather than picking sensational sentences out of them and repeating them out of context, but we are where we are. At least those of us who CAN read will now have the opportunity and it’s good to have it direct from the top.
I probably will read it for myself, a few times, but it already sounds very much like what I wanted to hear. It’s probably not good enough for the poo tin puppet in America, preventing a vote to clear funding for military aid, but we can hope.
It’s a plan, with a “path to victory “, as requested by Johnston.
Isn’t it time to open the scrapyard gates and allow Ukraine to salvage what they need again?
I find it interesting that Russia shortens nazi's to z army
Didn't think it was that difficult to understand what the generale has written. Its basicly war doesn't realy chnage but each new conflict is differnt and you need to adapt to the new circumstances and not fight the last war. He also put doen the possibilitys and the impossibilitys for ukraine to make this a winning war. Did a list of external problems that need to be adressed. And focussed on the new tech thats introduced in this war and how to use it to let Ukraine win this war. to be honest i thought it was very basic stuff it needed to be written down but it wasn't something brilliant. Ofcourse getting it from writting to reality would take a real master and i ve got this sneaky suspicion he might be one.
The main stream media most likely takes pay from the Russians to post ignorance.
Well said!
@@arturobianco848”generale”? “basicly”? “realy”🙄🤦🏼♂️ Does your device lack autocorrect?! You have to go out of your way to try to misspell the most basic words! You sound like a 10 year old lacking vocabulary and ability to construct a complex sentence…you sound like a child trying to chime in something that’s above your comprehension….SMFH.
Ukraine seems to be operating more and more like a modern democracy in this time of war. No coups nor deaths by windows for example. Let’s hope it continues this way
I’m no military expert but this article reflects a highly intelligent and perceptive mind….keep him!
I said it before and I'll say it again, Zaluzhny is a master of modern military thinking.
He's just a great man isn't he? He, Zelensky and Budanov are inspirational as are the Ukrainians in general.
Slava Ukraini.
Slava Ukraine from a Canadian in Oshawa, Ontario.
Very interesting and intelligent analysis by Zalunsky. "United we stand, divided we fall". May Ukrainians be proud and confident in his leadership. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 from Ireland 🇮🇪
Yes. Well said! - A lesson we, as defending Irish in the 17th Century should have learned but we did not. We could have defeated the English on many occasions but for our interior bickering and disunity. Slava Ukraine ! from Ireland
Every time Zaluzhny puts pen to paper it really shows just how deep his grasp of the entirety of the battlefield is. Glad he continues to lead. I hope he will root out the vestiges of Soviet doctrine that some generals still cling to.
This was a brilliant report, Georgie! Thank you.
Slava Ukraini!!! Protect and defend Zaluzhny! What a legendary man!
This article reminds me of when the English formed their new model army during our civil war and setting the standards for a quality fighting force that embraces the lessons and technologies of its age. Ukraine is on its own path to building their own new model army.

He clearly understands the step needed towards warfare that doesn’t put masses of people in the front line with heavy equipment. Its about remote warfare.

you are not understanding him at all if you think that. Remote warfare is Ukraines combined arms. The idea that you assume your movements are always under observation. That you use the drones to improve the accuracy of all your other units and impede the actions of the enemy. As he said, evolution not revolution.
General Zaluzny is the Patton or Eisenhower of this century. This article is an masterpiece of 21st century warfare.
Zalusny is on right track! Slava Ukraini, heroyam slava!
That was the best presentation of what's ahead for Ukraine I have ever seen & heard, I'm not a military man but by listening to that the USA could take a lot away with information how to fight certain types of battles and plan them, but I really hope political differences don't allow interferences in the processes set out, very inspiring stuff. Slava Ukraine
I have heard on another channels that Ukraine’s president has already made the decision to remove Zaluzhny. He supposedly said this to an Italian journalist. I hope that isn’t the case. Ukraine needs to mobilize more troops. I’m so angry with the US Congress.
Taiwan should pay attention to his paper.
The Taiwanese are very much on the same page .
They definitely need to collaborate on military level.
@@mdjey2 I guess that would be up to Taiwan.
Georgie, this was a great video. The MSM is only looking for the most salacious or controversial headlines... they're afraid if their readership was presented with something thought provoking it might cause them to think independently instead being available to have their opinions assigned to them by the MSM.
Excellent presentation. I find it amazing that you are probably one of the very few commentators who actually have a clue as to what is going on. General Zaluzhnyi was taken out of context by some many so called experts and believed the rubbish RT was pushing out and you were possibly the only commentator who did not buy it. Well done mate. I think General Zaluzhnyi will regarded by history as a brilliant commander and Ukraine are lucky to have him.
Thank you for keeping the world informed, Georgie. It's important to have folks like you cutting through the MSM BS 💛💙
we are so blessed to have you and the leadrship of Ukraine to stop this madness once and for all... Clear and decisive leadership i see in this articel. Glory to Ukraine and peace to the world. The whole world! One day common sense, so clearly shown here, will prevail....

UNITED WE STAND
Zaluhzny is rock solid staying in his lane, no politics, military all the time. Zalensky has rose colored glass that he uses when negotiating for much needed support, he just does not take them often enough. Military and politics are separated for good reason, It's a very rare politician that understands military statagee and tactics.
Don’t agree with your condescending of Zalensky assessment at all. You say Rose Colored Glasses - that’s a very foolish statement to make. Zalensky was democratically elected to his position as President of Ukraine and he is also Commander in Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. I admire them both and I believe NOW both are doing a great job. I also assume that Zaluhnzy had permission from the President to publish those comments. Otherwise he should move aside.
The two are facing different fronts. Zaluzhnyi controls what and how goes out at Russians, but Zelensky has to provision the inputs. My suspicion is that this has to do with big money: someone , who pays the supplies, wants to dictate "who plays in the game" (what weapon systems gets used, consequently what strategy is used), even though "the coach" (Zaluzhnyi) knows that it will ruin his team's prospects for winning. So, basically, Zelensky got pressed to enforce those demands, Zaluzhnyi cannot authorize that in good faith, and this is what gives. Zelensky may not be the villain, probably he has no choice to e.g. backpressure on this, because the democratic leaders whom he pleads are held in power or removed by big businesses, e.g. military industries complex.
It’s kinda like 🇺🇦 has learned so much about 21st Century Warfare, while its allies and partners are still fighting 20th Century Wars, that Zalushny is pondering whether it’s worthwhile to allow NATO to join UKRAINE!🇺🇦
This exactly.
@@Acacontrolsmaybe a double dose after his BS.
I asked, you delivered. Hearing what some incompetent journalist thinks about Zaluzhny's article is 180 degrees from what he actually says. I made a copy for myself. Zaluzhny is a brilliant strategy. I see it working successfully, already, on the battlefield.
Thank you Georgijs Slava Ukraini !!

Thank you Greece and Biden.
God rot trumpturds.
Maga and Orange Jesus What a joke. Joe Biden understands. And the Westernweapons are needed
This whole crimp in the US's aid provisions makes me wonder whether WE could pickup the slack ourselves by purchasing and providing ammunition to Ukraine? Why not!? It would certainly embarrass Congress and get their attention at the same time. NAFO 69th Ammunition!! Why not?!
theres likely some serious regulations in the way and also trust in money being used for the pourpose its said it would be but plausible. Edit: I just gave it a further thourght, monetary support should be possible without much regulatory fuss. From there well money is money so they may be able to buy stuff them selfs. Just need to find and advertise a way to support ukraine people can trust.
Are you certain that assistance is needed to further embarrass Congress? The MAGA Republican's are immune to humility. Some with a conscience and a brain are speaking out, but few dare draw the ire of Donald Drumfkovitch.
US (those controlling it) want to prolong the war at the expense of Ukranian lives.
@@rob6052 Lol. Point well taken!
While I appreciate your optimism, the amounts of ammo needed is colossal. We are talking millions of shells. I listened to a recent press conference with Josep Borrell. In a year I think he said, the EU will be making 1 million shells or something like that. It takes the entire European continents' ammo factories running at full tilt to achieve this. As great as Nafo is, it can't do that. As for buying ammo, it will be very costly. IIRC the 155 mm caliber has gone up in price from €2,000 to €8,000 per shell . And millions of them are needed.

Thanks for the update Georgie you are doing a great job long live Ukraine 🇸🇪❤️🇺🇦👍
Love it when people go over the source content and not just how some 2 or 3 min news broadcast host summarized it.
What I took away from this is that Zaluzhnyi's paper was a call to make Ukraine not only able to win this war but the next one. He is looking both short-term and long-term. Without stating it explicitly, he is saying that even if Ukraine "wins" and drives the Russians back to their own borders, there will always be the threat of a repeat conflict and he wants Ukraine to be prepared for that long-term situation. I think he is right. Even after Ukraine is in NATO (hopefully), it will always be at risk of receiving the first strike from Russia and whether Putin is in charge or not, that risk will remain. It is a sobering assessment, but realistic IMO. Being dependent on other countries to provide materials and systems is not going to cut it in the long-term although essential in the short-term. It is an unfortunate reality that the only thing one can trust Russia to do is push its borders as far as others will allow them. Maybe in another generation this mentality will recede, but in the meantime, that is how he sees it. Incidentally, his message is exactly what Putin needs to hear, that his assumptions about a weakened neighbor - that all he needs to do is maintain steady pressure and resistance will collapse - is flat wrong.
If Russia departs and signs a peace treaty does anyone think Russia will honor it? Hitler was in no small part motivated by his belief (a belief shared by many of his countrymen) that Germany had given up in WWI too quickly and needed a re-do. Putin feels the same way about the collapse of the Soviet Union, a belief many of his supporters share. Losing a border war is not going to change his mind about that.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED being read to. Thank you so much for this format, it was very convenient while I was doing other stuff.
Thanks so much for the explanation, you talk like a professor, so knowledgeable! We love you and Ukraine is part of our hearts.
I love that he wants to go to more of a NATO standard of training and leadership.
The ability of the lowest ranking private to Lead a mission is something Russia can't contend with
Exactly! ❤
THAT is the crux of it - flexibility and cohesion - russia must by now realise that to fight the West is their route to annihilation....
Zhaluschny goes much bejond NATO doctin. I wish our cowardly NATO generals would learn from him. At least in Germany we have not a single general of his intelligence. In UK it is different and US generals I know too less.
That takes years to do in peacetime. It will be very hard for Ukraine to switch during the war. It is not ideal time to do it. Ukraine will soon run of manpower to keep on fighting. Time is not on Ukraine's side.
@@huntergatherer7796I do not agree that time is in favour of Russia. Only if people look just on the military situation you can come to such a conclusion. But such wars are decided usually not on the battlefield but more on the economical front. If you try to look a bit behind the propaganda curtain you can see that the Russian economy is in a devastating situation and only works with the savings of the last 10 years Putin made for this war. But this savings will not last very long.
I have heard all of the scat about the General here in the states. What a shame the news can’t get the Story straight. GLORY TO UKRAINE! 💙💛🔱🌻💪🇺🇦🙏🇺🇸

I am really greatful to understand the original article of general Salushny and not a misinterpretated comment of a journalist without any clue.
Awesome General and great reporting on all of the Disinformation that applies to every country involved Including the peacul nations that need to Remember and Never Forget
In any nation with a credible leadership doctrine, it would indeed be unusual that political and military leadership don't come into conflict. This is 100% normal. Nobody should be phased about it in any way.
I agree. I would be worried if they DIDN'T have heated debates sometimes.
The only country where military generals and political leaders agree is russia, and we all know why. 🙄

With Poland emerging as the next superpower in Europe, they may very well take what the general has presented and use it in their own military with tweaks specific to themselves.
Zaluzhny is bleeding Russia dry.
Although i fully agree with general Zaluznihy, i have to say, president zelenskiyy faces political pressure to show results, before he gets more military support. So, it is natural that there is tension between both men. I hope they both can deal with each other. We need both of them. And extra; advice to zaluznihy, do not step in political arena. That would be bad for ua. And for fighting forces.
Who is it that is placing demands on the aid? I haven't heard any EU leader say a word about that.
Hungary and even Slovakia to some extent. Orban has had his knuckles rapped, for now, but he’s still poo’s man and hasn’t gone away. But yes, it’s mostly the pro Trump faction of the Republican Party, in the US and, Dear God, it’s a scary prospect that they could end up in power next year and the US could do an about face and start supporting poo! I’m hoping logic and reason will, for once, prevail and the lunatics don’t end up running the asylum!
The position of a Chief of General Staff per se is a political one as the person installed is the interface between political decision making and military decision making. Politicians usually have no clue at all about military thinking and operation, about military needs and the need to have a military at all.
Western democratic politicians usually have a strategic horizon spanning one election cycle, military must think and act over decades.
In wartime, this interface is even more relevant, as politics tend to rather give in in order to not sacrifice more lifes and with that playing in the hands of the aggressor, while military is putting lifes at risk to repel the aggressor and with that preserving the attacked society from being overthrown.
The military mission can only succeed, if both elements understand this challenge and act in unison. So far we have seen thus unified action in UA and that's a good sign, that the above mentioned interface is working.
@@zodiacdriver3852Spot on 👍
@@nian60 I think the main issue is the demands made by GOP in the US - I think Putin's puppet Trump and the Trumpites have had a massive impact and maybe they have even almost undermined the intellectual asset that is Gen. Zaluznihy - they almost achieved Putin's aims!
Thank you for going over the entire statement. It was very informative. Please share documents like this when they are relevant to the situation 💛💙❤️
Russia's really good at dividing people against each other. Divide on conquer. No matter what's the truth, stay united for Ukraine. I think Zelenskyy and Zaluzhny are both the best people for their roles and replacing either one of them would be a big mistake. I would instead aim our disdain at republicans like Mike Johnson who deserve the blame for why Ukraine is now on defence. Great video.
Been waiting for this one, G. Thanks
Hopefully I'll get out of the hospital Wednesday for good. I've had it with our healthcare system!! It's gotten so bad that 2 doctors today have asked if I would take a sedative to make everyone's life easier! 😆
@allisonmarlow184 I saw you say in chat a while ago that you were in the hospital, it's a long time. Not sure what's wrong, but I'm wishing you a speedier recovery that it seems you've had. You have my email address, feel free to reach out sometime.
IMHO - Zelensky = Ukraine's Washington, and Zaluzhny = Ukraine's Eisenhower. SLAVA UKRAINE!
Zelensky is Ukrainian Trump, the FSB installed him into presidency by using the same electoral technology, by scooping the lowest underclass from the very bottom of Ukrainian society.
Eisenhower didn't get fired before the conflict was over.
Thanks for going over all of this awesome information! Have a good one! Slava Ukraine
Hello Georgijs. I think this guy is the right man for the job. A person with vision is worth countless yes men. Drone warfare pioneered at the level Ukraine has done has changed warfare forever. Back in the old west days in the US an inventor named Sam Colt made a hand gun that left the standard of one shot then reload behind and created the revolver. It held five cartridges, meaning five chances to win against a gunslinger or professional hired gun. The nickname given that gun was the Great Equalizer.
I think that is exactly where we are with the introduction of Drones that have become more sophisticated every day. Lets not forget that a single Drone used in an attack in Yemen and the result of that attack and in the wrong hands how much power it can giver to an idiot. However in the hands of professionals such as the Ukrainian military they are an assume destructive force that will in the end be principle to the Ukrainian victory in my opinion. Everyone else is playing catch up and still others are investing billions in Drone programs. Nevertheless Ukraine has two huge things going for it right out of the gate. First Ukraine is the the pioneers in field working these weapons, so they know what is practical and they know what works and what doesn't and they know what they wish the Drone could do. The second thing is command is not about to let that brain trust go to waste. The Ukrainian officer's corp has demonstrated they want to hear from their people in the field and want them involved in every step of crafting these Drone weapons and surveillance systems so they will be the best tools that lands in a soldiers hands on the battlefield. I have faith in the Ukrainian military, and those who lead it and in every soldier in it. Victory is coming for Ukraine of this I'm certain.This is the time to push small thinkers aside and let that undefinable Ukrainian creative force loose with all of the monetary support they need. Slava Ukrayini!
Thanks Georgie now maybe people will quit asking you where the general is for not being a professional War expert or reporter you break down in detail the gist of what's being said you have a great number of people that love you too Slava Ukraine see you on the next one bro
Thank you Georgy, I think it would be a major mistake to take out Zalushznyi out of the game now, because he’s shown to be a master in this battlefield. He realized quickly enough about the use of unmanned apparatus, where others were still going with tanks and so on. I don’t think he and Zelensky cannot walk through the same door. There may be irregularities, but in the end you can see them as two brothers fighting the same war.
I rather point a finger to our western press and opinion makers, that they have very little knowledge of what is happening on the field, but they like to be called ‘experts’
This was like listening to an audiobook 😊 thanks @UkraineMatters
Thank you for the information! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🌻🌻💪🏻💪🏻
Zaluzhny sounds like a guy focused on his job (not like a guy packing up his office in anticipation of being fired).
It’s okay to read the full article if it is one like this. The article is from a top player in this war.
Zelensky should back ZaluZzny. If he gives him uncomfortable truths its his job. That is the advantage of a democracy.
He compromised foreign aid. That's enough of a reason to lose your job.
This is excellent Georgis, Thank you.

Georgijs, thank you, is a great information that give to us a clarity of the situation in Ukraine 🇺🇦 and put down the gossiping in the websites, that wants people be in ascertaining reaction, on the issues, raises over there between, Prsiden and the General, Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Zelensky has done an admirable job as a political leader both at home and in the world. Meanwhile Zalushny spells out the new military doctrine. He knows he is confronting the established military template AND he's telling the military industrial complex that their expensive heavy weapons aren't worth much if they can't be delivered on time. That's bound to make some very powerful people very uncomfortable.
Zalushny has experience and perspective that no Western general has at this point and time. After Ukraine’s victory is secured and they are part of NATO, I could see Zalushny leading or advising new frontiers in NATO doctrine.
Loved this Georjis, thanks so much for taking us through this 🏴❤️🇺🇦💪
I like the format. Too busy/Lazy to read the whole thing, so this works well for me. Thanks.
It's not fair. Gerasimov also had an article ready to be published. He can't help it he went M.I.A.
He‘s definitely AWOL!
Thank you, excellent focus ❤️🇺🇦 Appreciate your first class reports!
Important, meaningful, rare clarity
Thank you for always keeping your analysis sane and fact based Georgi - your instincts on what is truly important are usually right on! Just keep on doing you!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you!
I thank you for what you are doing for Ukraine!@@UkraineMatters
Very nice !
There was a moment in history when the professional military class recognized that gunpowder had irrevocably changed the nature of warfare forever. It would have been very similar to this moment with unmanned vehicles. Those who understood and were able to would manufacture gunpowder. They would develop various ways of tactically deploying gunpowder based on real-world experience in combat. The logistics would evolve to make sure gunpowder was available on the battlefield when and where it was needed. And the training of personnel in not only the actual use of gunpowder but also the evolution of both offensive and defensive tactical doctrine that reflected the new reality on the battlefield. in the long run, unmanned vehicles may very well end up having the same magnitude impact on warfare as gunpowder did once upon a time.
I agree.
Whatever the final score is in the conflict, the General will be recorded in history as one of the greatest generals.
And, when adjusted for the available weapons and money, the Ukrainian army will be placed in top position as the greatest army ever .
Imagine a 1000 man force armed with cheap and precise unmanned weapons used at standoff ranges
Thank you so much Georgijs 💓 you're so good at reading your English out loud!! It amazes me how you can master all these languages! I can just about manage my own language y un poco de español. 😅
Love you mate tc
❤🇬🇧🫂🇺🇦
Any news on the F16s?
Your videos are great. When you described this one I thought it would be boring. Wow, I was wrong. I think the only problem you might have with this particular format is finding other such interesting, well written articles. The commentary you add is great.
Zaluzhny is a military man - a specialist and an expert. Ahead of his time in his country, and even since the experience he has gained in this conflict in the world, this man is an outsized asset to Ukraine and the west. Rumour has it that Zelensky sees him as a political rival and wants to eliminate that threat. Frankly I do not buy that. Zaluzhny is a military man through and through. Every word he says is about military capabililty without even the smallest hint of any political aspect. After this conflict he has a future as one of the all time great military commanders. Politics is not his interest and not his strength, and he knows that. If Zelensky is truely afraid of that he is not the political giant he is presented as.
From what I recall, Zelensky has repeatedly said that he is stepping down after the war. So how can anyone else be a political threat to him? Zelensky is the president until UA wins, and then someone else takes over.
New camera? The video looks so high quality!
Good evening Georgi,thank you for this review and update🇺🇦🔱🇺🇦
I like it; adapt and change too the situation. Adapt again as close to instantaneous and change, as expediently possible and recon and do it again and again. Till Victory. Saves, smart, unexpected feats that have no prediction to the Enemy. Shear incription to decipher, which takes time and by then Ukraine is onto new tactics already. Including Reclusive frontline offensive attacks. Thank you and a Big W for Ukraine
Fantastic Report
Thank you so much
Slava Ukraini
You are THE best.
Thank you, Georgijs!
Two piña coladas for second comment 🍹🍹
Extremely informative @Ukraine Matters Thanks for your energy ⭐️🇺🇦💪💪
Georgijs, wonderful down to earth representation of General Zaluzshny’s updated views and interpretation (your breakdown) on the new “Art of War”, for Ukrainians in the 21st century and their future potential. Glory to the Ukrainian People & Heroes ! Texas, USA. ❤
d explain it thanks again.Thanks Georgi for reading that, I would have missed it completely if you hadn't taken the time and effort to read it thanks again. Slava Ukraini.
Great update.... Slava Ukraine
Thanks Georgie, love you too, I will support the brave AFU for as long as it takes. Puck Futin. Pang Hutin 💥💥❗❗SLAVA UKRAYINI!! HEROYAM SLAVA!! ГЕРОЯМ СЛАВА. СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ✌ 💪🙏💛💙💛💙🤘🤟❤
The most important question is where is Gerasimov?
Looking for a crayon 🖍 to write his own essay.
🇺🇦💪🇺🇦💪🇺🇦💪🇺🇦 Very impressive, what has been accomplished so far, and we are with you 🫂💙🫂💙🗽
Thank you Georgie for reading this important text for us. It is just as you said:"Drones, drones, drones!" Will there be a t-shirt in your merchandising with the motto: "Army of Drones" as i suggested to you in a live chat some time ago. Greetings, Stefan
That was excellent !!! thank you very much for reading that out, I found listening to it much easier to absorb. Slava Ukraini
Thanks Georgi. I liked this report. Slava Ukraini🔱Heroyam Slava
I think that, with the experience of the war under his belt, Zaluzhnyy currently is the most capable overall military commander, concerning modern warfare, in the world. I think that point is hard to argue.
I like it the way you read ( and comment ) on it. Because it actually makes you think about what is said and what that means. Sometimes I become a scanner rather than a reader so yea, that means I might miss something out.
Thank you for explaining what General Zaluzhnyi wrote in the article. I believed that the quote all of the media services jumped on was taken out of context, but I didn't know to what degree this had been done. I understand the situation better now. Slava Ukraine.
