In the eastern Donbas, Russian troops continue to advance. In the south, by contrast, their grip appears shakier. The Guardian's Luke Harding visits the city of Mykolaiv where he meets determined Ukrainians.

It's a difference between asking tough questions and asking dumb questions. These were some dumb questions
Zalensky gave an order to stop reporting Ukrainian military plans beforehand. Stop trying to get exact time on counter offensives. Broadcasting it will only help Russians prepare
Helping the Russians :D :D :D man this is a full scale war. So you really think that a news reporter gets more information than Russia’s FSB ? :D seriosly this is hilarious
@@HALTSMAULALLLER See what happened to the wagner group command centre yesterday,Einstein
Its easy to pinpoint a target when you have the streetname
he was talking about Ukraine gov staff and elected officials.
@@HALTSMAULALLLER lol fsb...the orcs are shooting their.own planes out.of the sky....russians can't even distinguish their own planes with their apparent high tech s400 air defence system.
@@HALTSMAULALLLER The same FSB that told Putin he could walk into Kyiv and be treated as a hero LOL?
If folks are like me then one eye will always be on Ukraine.
Just remember that Himars launchers are in short numbers. As such , Himars are used for strikes on ammo and fuel dumps and air bases. They would need hundreds of Himars launchers in order to bombard the Russian troops on the front line before an Ukrainian offensive. They are worth their weight in gold, but 12-20 Himars launchers will not win the war.
and 8 to 9 nine were alreday destroyed
@@dasoulfabrice9903 not 8 or 9 bot
@@dasoulfabrice9903 that is an outright lie, and the bits of scrap were not a HIMARS truck
@@Marauder623 It not an outright lie, Ruptly told me so! They even showed blurry footage of an explosive on the second floor of a building! Undeniable, irrefutable proof that over 10,000 HIMARS have been destroyed in Warsaw!

3:39 Make no mistake: most of "the rest of the world" still cares very much about this outrageous war of Russian aggression. We cheer in respect and admiration of Ukraine every time their magnificent military personnel triumph over the contemptible Russian invaders.
Slava Ukraini.
Most of the world research and look into the history of a country, and what made it the way it is. What you are taking about is blindly just believing what ever the media tells you to believe.
@@niblet112 - I don't "blindly" believe anything I am told (especially not what you try to opine at me). I believe what I see in the news video evidence, like the heroic attack on the illegally occupied Crimea airbase (last week) and the sinking of the Russian Warship Moskva in the Black Sea, and the destruction of all those pathetically useless Russian tanks that hadn't got a clue what they were trying to do, etc, etc, etc.
According to the Western narcissists "rest of the world" is Western puppetland countries. You need to take a look in the mirror. The Western imperialism days are over
Most people don’t really care.
@@niblet112 Let me guess, you one of those special people who doesn't "follow the masses" lol.
Whenever I see the EU and Ukraine flags side by side the more I think Russia is like an abusive ex-boyfriend. "Didn't I tell you I don't want you speaking with other men? LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!"
Ukra-Nazi-a isn't a democracy like Canada.
Canada allows Quebec to have its own official language.
Ukra-Nazi-a wouldn't allow ethnic Russian provinces to establish local official language that is different from Ukrainian.
@polski ponury żniwiarz
PS
What if Canada voted not to allow Quebec to keep French as official language?
@@Alec72HD Ultimately, you are using this to try and justify Russia's invasion. And that is reprehensible and vile.
@polski ponury żniwiarz Ukrainian nationalists have been killing those who speak Russian for 9 years. More than 14 thousand people have been killed in Donbas for 9 years.
@polski ponury żniwiarz
Ukraine has provinces that are 99% predominantly Russian speaking.
Just as Quebec is predominantly French speaking within a British (English speaking) empire.
The Guardian: Giving unhappy people a reason to stay that way...daily!
I'll never get bored, I live in New Zealand and we are often talking about the war. No one here wants Russia to win. We can't stand Putin. Another reason we remain interested is because Ukraine have fought off a giant and made Russia look pathetic. How can anyone get bored of that!
@@artdemochannel you are a known Russian Troll
I agree, the only thing Putin achieved was showing the world how pathetic he is.
Russians will win, you want it or you don't. And your options won't change the fact that Putin is supported by 80% of Russians. So keep dreaming. Lol
I hope Māoris in Newzeland get freedom from colonizers.
You should start worrying about China my dude.
The persistence and loyalty of the Ukrainian people is a message to the whole world. Fight for what you love. Slava Ukrayini
Persistently retreat toward Poland.😁
@@car5car5 you try go face to face with a thermobaric grad missile, see how fast you run in the opposite direction
For a country 28x smaller than russia, Ukraine are doing a spectacular job at fending off the invaders. Credit where it is due
nothing but a guerrilla army hiding in hospitals
azov tornado continuous massacres continuously supported by consecutive labour tory govermins
What happened to the million men counter offensive by the Ukrainians?
Give to Ukraine long range rockets!
just 12 Himars made so much difference in the last 20 days, Give Ukraine Atacms now ! they will save lot of civilian lifes
Maybe you should write a check this stuff is not free
16 Himars, plus 3 + 3 UK M270 launchers, same as Himmars, but with tracks, which can strike targets up to 80km away with precision guided rockets.
So thats now 22 long range precision rocket launchers from the US and UK 😊
🐉
What’s up with this reporter writing everything down? Just watch your own video and you have the answer. Lol
Stop misleading the public with your fairy tales!
You must be thinking of russian ministry of lies and misinformation
🤣
The same fairy tales of Russia being the 2nd strongest military in the world LOL?
@@steveb1325 Oblivious with no Official NATO military on the ground keeping out of conflict zone for safety!
range depends on ammo type.
why limiting their range of attack! something is obviously wrong somewhere
Because the US knows that the moment they give Ukraine long range weapons, they will hit more Schools, POW camps, and Residential Blocks, only further escalating the war to a point that Russia goes ALL in instead of holding back.
The best Part !? The Ukrainian and European Flag on His desk. We are strong together.
Slava Ukraini!!!! As a Tanzanian I stand with Ukrainians 🇺🇦
Akili ndogo, soma historia
Wow! That's a high-end vehicle you are traveling in. Leather seats, wood trim, and window curtains. Are you the new MP?
Soldier you are great , I see a light of bravery on your face .

Title should say: "includes paid promotion for himaar rockets"
"By no means it is *impossible."
In fact Ukrainians are humble see how the army commander's hands are in his back before talking to us
Commissioner
I’m sensing another “goodwill gesture”…
Go Ukraine! - But what is the point of this correspondent scribbling down notes on paper when cameras are around recoding every note.
Again, Go Ukraine, but Shame Western Sensationalists
Ukraine needs a significant victory to reinvigorate the campaign, raise morale and ensure the west remains interested knowing they are supporting an army with the will and capacity to fight and win.
in their dreams
Like South Vietnam
lend lease huge weapon supply is coming, doesn't matter if we still interested or not, and kick out the occupiers very soon
@Logicisfree Logic nothing magical, much more advanced and efficient than russian obsolete weaponry tho. So yes, the so called magical weapons can win wars. Imagine hundred HIMARS with atacms rockets. Ruzzia can't do nothing with even 4. Not even mention the rest of the weapon supply what will arrive.
You mean another vogue session?
I’ve fallowed this war from beginning.
My heart aches from all the suffering of Ukrainian people. I ask and converse with others, sharing our remorse over all cruelty Ukrainian people have endured.
We, everyone I know approve of self defense of Ukrainian people.
We stand strong with Ukrainian people.
How much longer must the people wait, for Russian invaders to go back to Russia?
These people must be suffering, sounds of war explosion does damage to the nerves.
Relief of war, a big change must take place in Ukraine. Guaranteeing safety of these noble Ukrainian people.

Really? And where were you for the last 9 years during wich were Russians sufering from Ukrainian terror in the east?
@@zivaradlovacki2666 exactly. where were you last 9 years when the war actually started? why is there no comments from you on the videos that shows ukrainian shelling ethnic russians in donbass?
Did you also felt bad about all the USA invasions of other Countries ? ?
@@erentxunlopez6281 I did. I thought the invasion of Iraq was based on lies, had no exit strategy, and wasted people and money. Bush and Cheney sure got some business for Haliburton, though. Weee doggies.

Poor Ukraine when all the things will settle down the truth will be revealed.
Huh?
The words of any injured soldier or civilian that which depicts the message of all the Russian forces dying, being killed for what they have done, the pain they have inflicted on the land and it's people is the driving force of what they deserve. Ukraine didn't deserve to endure the war as they have had to. The innocent Ukrainian people did not deserve to be attacked as they have. Ukraine deserves to win. 🤌🌻
This of course is nonsense. An American backed coup installed government has been carrying on a civil war with eastern Ukraine from 2014. These regions don't want to be part of this western bastardisation of their country and they will have their voice heard in the upcoming referendums.
If Kiev had of implemented the Minsk accords this war would never have happened. But America didn't want that and France and Germany didn't have the guts to stand against it. Remind me of the western goals again: to defeat Russia, to bring it to it's knees and make rubble of the ruble. Ha, the shoes now on the other foot and they don't like it.
Ukraines gonna lose really badly trust me
Might makes Right ! sorry buddy but Ukraine just ain't got it! and America can't afford to fund a long war of attrition against Russia when we got so many problems at home that are potato head president needs to fix and that requires tax dollars!
Than thier government should not have started massing troops on Russias border and carried out attacks on ethnic Russians in the Donbas!
@@erikcartman2749 The 'storyline changes, often. There was, has been long running 'talk about Rebels, Russian rebels. Albeit any society of people can experience an uprising of rebel groups or sub groups of individuals with what is often referred to as radical ideology, those who share like-minded ideas to damage and destroy causing harm. There is no justified sense of what the Russian government and forces have done before during or after the war invasion started and since it has unfolded and that includes any of what was going on in the Donbas region and anything that has happened in any other Ukrainian region. Definitely entirely at the fault of the Russian government and forces. That said, it is not the complete fault of ALL Russian people or those who like Russia as a place, but the support by so many countries and people around the world for, toward Ukraine speaks volumes on just how awful the leadership is and how much it has failed, itself, it's people and all of Ukraine.
This guy does not look worried in any way whatsoever!!!! Isn't that odd??
Can someone explain, the difference between taking 'short range' HIMARS to the russian border and using 300KM HIMARS from within ukraine ?
There is an agreement that ukraine wont use HIMARS to not hit targets inside of Russia ,Crimea was ukraines before 2014
No, it's silly. And it needs to end. Ukraine has had forces within artillery range of Russian soil. Ukraine wants to defend itself.
If they hit Russia they will be nuked. That’s why they don’t target Russia directly.
It's 60km real operational range.
Go Ukraine your gradually getting some of your towns back you are so brave keep it going from the UK 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧
No they aren't. Quit spreading lies and flase hope.
😆😅🤣😂👍👍👍👍✊✊✊👍👍👍
They havent got a single town back but they are losing several towns every week
they arent getting anything back, you cant name even 1 village they recaptured.. not a village and especially not any town
I really feel for the reporter. I wish there was a technology that could records these interviews so he did not have to furiously take notes while talking to people.
This journalist seems gleeful and super happy and excited.
It feels very wrong.
The drones of the Ukrainians are doing extremely well and will make a lot of difference. The Ukrainians fighting spirits are very high !. Imagine defending own fatherland and preparing to laid own every single life for the of family, home and the beloved fatherland !.
What is your definition of extremely well? Ukrainians are dying and loosing territories that they can't gain back easily. The best option is ceasefire and negotiation instead those illusion
Ukraine officially has 40 million inhabitants, and Zelensky announced a general mobilization for the war of all men from 18 to 60 years old. But the Ukrainian army has recruited only 1 million soldiers)))). Do you know how to use a calculator and think? Count how many millions of Ukrainian men escaped from the war)))
SMART IRAINIANS STAND WITH THE WEST!!!!!!!!!!! SLAVA UKRAINE!!!!!!!!!!
And that west which you stand with sanctioned Iran for decades, only the fools will stand with the west. Smart Iranians will stand with Russia and China.

100,000 dead Ukrainians and over 190,000 seriously wounded. 22% of Ukraine are permanently lost. .I think it's time to worry.
Not to mention 70% of infrastructures are already destroyed
It is really great to see videos like this BUT, I really don't understand why you and other media companies aren't posting full 1 hour segments on stuff like this several times per week???
It's always a silly little 3 min video???
It's kind of hard to believe that you guys, Washington Post or New York times actually pay a journalist to visit the front lines directly.... All for a 3 minute video!
I think it's time to admit that traditional print news is headed the way of the dodo bird...
We want to see well produced video content with granular details, explanations and interviews.
Thanks

This parliament officiant should be more praised even for his english and openness.
Ha like my balls getting praised mean while in ucrynian woman

three hundred thousand AR and ten mag each, enough?

Great job, especially loved the interview with Vitaliy Kim (the governor of the Mykolaiv region). He is such a charming and humble person.
I am wondering why the journalist is writing down people are saying. Everything is being recorded on film. Old habits dies hard, I guess. Lol.
Painfully Delusional
oh boy.
And if it wasnt for the british and americans you russians would be speaking german lol
Ukraine goes hard 💪
You are dillussionall. I can't believe Guandian fell so low.
It’s because it’s run by Neo Liberals who want a Neo Liberal world order
@@seanmoran2743 Maybe . If Guardian has fallen , what more do we evpect from Western media ?
Crimea bridge, thats a lot. You know how much time it been build+
abandoning some of the frontal trenches + moating the flatlands before winter might give you a defensive edge. also using more drones to scatter hazards around contested territory could be useful. but who knows 👀
The biggest threat to Ukraine is winter itself, and Ukraine might as well save the effort of building up defenses. They don't have what they need to defend against the weather.
Russia's not going to mount a winter offensive. They don't have to.
They'll just work on making themselves more secure and comfortable where they are. Come spring they'll have a much easier time advancing westward.
I certainly think once crops are harvested, flooding either side of the roads in strategic places would reduce the size of the target. Go Ukraine! ✌❤
Russians are watching this and taking notes. Why would they report this
Should have sent MLRS with ATACMS, not HIMARS.
Why do these journalists always show themselves driving to the battleground ?
First guy I've heard who said Ukraine might lose
The interviewees are definitely MUCH smarter than the interviewer!!!
Guardian News should send a SMARTER interviewer!!
Give the Ukrainians the 300km himars

look at the beggars begging for weapons
In the second extract, Filatyev expresses his anger over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
I fought in Ukraine, and if I don’t have the right to say “No to war” why does someone else have the right to start the war? I cannot bring our army back home, but I can share my experience and my thoughts about participation in this war and encourage fellow citizens to take care of their country, which has so many problems of its own to deal with.
This is a vicious circle of some kind, we are all to blame, but we need to make the right conclusions and correct our mistakes. Where is the breadth of the Russian soul? Where did our nobility and spirituality disappear? … Our ancestors shed so much of their own blood for the sake of freedom. It may not change anything, but I refuse to take part in this madness. Ethically, it would be easier if Ukraine attacked us, but the truth is that we invaded Ukraine and the Ukrainians did not invite us.
the offensive that never came hahaha
Hope the long range Himars rockets will arrive in Ukraine, they're in desperate need for long range missiles which could reach 300 kms to hit the Russian's vital targets
Russia will just nuke kiev and the whole western ukraine,u think the west will risk the end of humanity for ukraine?

We do not give munitions that reach that distance
That bridge should have bin done already at the beginning of the war.

It was clear to anyone with military training that Russia would lose - by the end of week two. It is now obvious.
Vitali Kim is the last soldier/governor interviewed . How his Korean ancestors ended up in Ukraine from Japanese occupied korea in the early 1900s would make a great documentary or a Hollywood movie or kdrama.

The forces of the Kiev junta on the Donbas front are also losing on their other lines of defense.
They have already lost 75 percent of Maryinka, their important fortified town located southwest of Donetsk.
The Russian army and units of the Donetsk Republic are heavily encircling the even more important Avdeyevka, which is northwest of Donetsk.
Ukri also lost in the battles inside the cities of Bahmut and Soledar.
They are losing positions around Kharkiv and south of Izjum. And the problems for Vladimir Zelensky and his generals are just beginning.
The spokesman of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, announced:
"In offensive operations on the Kherson-Nikolayevo direction in the Aleksandrovka area, the allied forces destroyed the units of the 28th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and reached the administrative border of the Nikolaev region." At the same time, control was taken over 36 square kilometers of the territory of the Kherson region.
- The settlement of Komsomolskoe was liberated, the advance into the depth of the enemy's defense in this direction was three kilometers. Established control over the territory of the Nikolaev area with an area of 12 square kilometers. In addition, significant losses were inflicted on the 35th Marine Brigade and the 46th Airmobile Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Andreyevka region. The enemy was expelled from Blagodatovka and nearby settlements."
According to Konashenkov, the town of Kodema, located south of Bakhmut, is blocked on three sides, and allied forces are "systematically destroying the Ukrainian elite 214th battalion."
Allied forces are also advancing towards Zaitsev, which is important for the capture of Bakhmut.
Unfortunately, Ukraine is being supported to defend - not attack.
Give Ukraine what they need,I am a taxpayer ,who do i send my check to.?
