@Disabled.MegatronWe all remember when Putin sent his little green men in 2014.

@@kk-mc4sj care to elaborate?
The Kharkiv and Kherson offensives were insane.
Agreed. They've shown that Ukrainian army are more than capable of not only defending themselves but also deoccupying previously captured by russian territories. And they still didn't get all the stuff they were asking for since this invasion began. We really need to step up our support.
The southern one was intentionally left by RF. Northern one is impressive though

"We will take Ukraine in two weeks" Vladimir Putin 🤣😂🤣
He never said that 🤡
Yeah if the west didn’t interfere
America is responsible for every Ukrainian life lost. Equipment from America needs an Ukrainian to operate it. No Ukraine personnel to operate, no war. Duh ! Trump 24
If he wanted to take Ukraine he would have struck the capitol. You kids are missing the whole point and the reason for the "invasion".
Plan a: blitzkrieg
But Putin knew it probably wouldn't work, and has a plan b, c, d, etc.
That's why Ukraine has lost magnitudes more people than Russia, and has no shells left
Russia plays chess and thinks five moves ahead. NATO plays poker and gambles, lies, bluffs its way to maybe winning.
The most critical part was the first offensive when the Russians plunged their forces into Kyiv, but failed to take it. Now, Ukraine has driven them out and now locked in on the Eastern front.
This could last years.
Russia is being pushed back while their economy starts feeling the pressure applied by western democracies. They prepared well and high gas and oil prices helped them in 2022, but 2023 looks like it's going to be very hard for them if they don't want to run into civil unrest

This map only shows you that occupation does not mean victory.
it is victory over the occupied lands
Duh. Everyone already knew that. You don't have to be victorious, just like in Vietnam, you just have to keep the bigger country from invading you fully and hold them off.
Is not a victory. Because this map do not show the truth in the ground. Any way there will be no victory for Ukraine n the west knows the Ukrainians knows that. Ukraine just wants to keep fighting not for the land they have lost but they want to keep fighting for unlimited amount of billions from USA taxpayers money 💰 because they know I all for free
@@eduardoflores7315 This is an accurate representation of how the war is going,. And you, someone who's never even served in the military is saying that it's false? Cite your sources or get the f*** out of here.
It seems like a stalemate. Nothing significant changed. But Russia did make slight gains with territorial occupation.

Your government doesn't stand of peace at all, they beg for full world war
Agree, from Turkiye
This literally proves they retreated from those other regions within a day
Do you seriously think they were fought back in 1-2 days?
Are you talking about Kharkiv? Nobody said the Russians didn't retread, since they obviously ran and didn't put up much of a fight after the initial breaktrough. That's why Ukraine captured so many tanks standing around that weren't even scuttled.
It was in no way an organised retreat or "reorganisation" as the Russian MoD likes to claim.
Routs tend to do that.
I'm not even an arm chair general but it looks like the northern attack was a distraction and hail mary to capture the capitol. Although it would have been an accomplishment for Russia, securing the southern border to fortify their access to the black sea was the real objective. The northern assault also could of provided information about Ukrainian strength and willingness to defend the capitol for the next time Russia attacks. If they push as far as Odesa, they could land lock Ukraine and dictate their access to the sea for decades or centuries to come.
You don't let your best forces to be barred in north as distruction. And parade uniforms were to make people laugh in Kyiv as distraction?
They have no chance to take Odessa.

@@RenegadeElite101 ah, and why in the first stage they lost so much and almost capital?
@@anoniem012 That's normal. The Russian's still had an element of surprise and they hit Ukraine for 6 directions at once with overwhelming firepower. There was also treachery in the UA military when a fairly high ranking officer ordered the mines and explosives placed between Kherson City and Crimea be defused. This gave Russia a far easier time taking Kherson Oblast up to Kherson City. The UA managed (barely) to form defensive lines north of Kherson City, but they could never form cohesive defenses west of Kherson Oblast since the forces that were meant to hold off the Russian, LPR, and DPR troops East of Mariupol now had to split in half to try and hold off an attack from both directions. That's why the south fell so quickly.
As for the capital, the capital is less than 140 miles from the Belarusian Border and was not heavily defended as Ukraine thought the major attack would be from the East. Russia also had ALOT more heavy armor and equipment to throw at the border than Ukraine had to defend it. Russia may have had only allotted 40k troops to the attack but they had ALOT more support equipment than the UA in Theatre, which is why when you look at the map of what Russia took around the capital you'll see a lot of roads were taken but not countryside. This is because 1. the UA blew a bridge flooding much of the north so the Russian vehicles couldn't move. 2. Russia was using the roads to quickly get to Kyiv and used their intense firepower to destroy everything in their path.
The Ukrainians responded by using the countryside to launch raids against the Russian armor ,but soon realized the real target should be the lightly armored supply trucks which they destroyed dozens of crippling the Russians as they ran out of gasoline, food, water, and other needed supplies.
In the East, Russia made small, attritional gains and only started making progress after the attack from Belgorod, Russia broke through Ukraine's secondary defense lines allowing the near encirclement of a few UA units who had to fall back and were re-positioned for the defense of Kharkiv, but that left much of the Luhansk oblast (around half) in Russian hands.
I should also point out that early in the war, Russia launched massive cyber attacks that rendered most of Ukraine's communication and air defense inert with no ability to coordinate giving Russia near complete air dominance for the first week or so which helped them push from all directions , and the fact that Russia levelled nearly every major military base in Ukraine in the first 24 hours of the conflict.
The situation stabilized once Ukraine managed to retain control of Hosmel airport in Kyiv , mobilized their territorial defense troops , and got supplies from the west to arm them. Special forces and militia's targeted Russian supply lines and eventually Russia was forced to abandon their siege on the capital , while we all know of the now infamous counter offensive in Kharkiv that saw Russia flung back to the Kharkiv - Luhansk oblast lines.

Not actually. Russia has land acces to crimea right now
Just Google map of 2016.. to see difference
My favorite part is when Russia got its cheeks clapped by Europe's poorest nation. Karma is beautiful.
If you are from Europe or the U.S., it is surprising how much people there are kept in the dark about their countries' involvement in the conflict.
The West provides (including on behalf of their people) money (hundreds of billions of dollars), almost any weapons (except aircraft, nuclear weapons and some missiles), almost 100% of satellite and intelligence data, mercenaries and instructors, training grounds for soldiers and weapons, humanitarian missions, ammunition and artillery (which are almost out of all Europe), etc.
So the front has stabilised
The amount of land that ukraine has liberated is shocking I hope this war ends soon🙏🏿
You do know the war is in Ukraine and they have lost a quarter of their country and lost millions of their citizens. This is a proxy war caused to bring forward ww3, don’t let them fool you.

They wanted the whole country. That's why there was a convoy stretching for miles trying to reach the capital. The Russians simply failed.

@@vargasbasti Russia failed to take kiev in spring of 2022
if this was hoi4 i wouldve quit the game
No one really gives 2 trucks !
Just observations & questions:
1. Kiev attack failed; -> was it an offensive or test-offensive or what? was it failure by rf or success by ua?
2. Kharkiv change to blue happened during Sept 5 - 15, about 10 days +/-; -> was it counter-offensive by ua or withdrawal by rf or just gray areas or what?
3. Kherson change to blue happened during Nov 8 -12, about a week +/-; -> imo, it was a withdrawal by rf
End result as of today: majority of the 4 ua regions (Kh.., Zapo.., Luh..., Don..) are under rf control... -> again, was it failure by ua or success by rf?
1. Kiev attack failed because Russia could not get it's 10 mile long convoy of vehicles into the city, it was very well defender so they defeated and retreated
2. Karkiv changed blue in September because Ukraine performed an unexpected counter attack and that section of the front line was poorly defended which resulted in ukraine making such massive gains
3. Yes Kherson was liberated once Russia retreated because they simply could not hold it as it was facing too much fire/shelling from Ukraine
Hope this makes things a bit clearer for you :)
1-3: Ukrainian successes and Russian cope
Regarding (1) the kindest reading to the Russian side is that they were expecting to take Kyiv very quickly by using their special forces and helicopters to grab the Hostomel airport near Kyiv, from where they could’ve launched aerial attacks directly at the capital, decapitating Ukrainian leadership before the offensive even officially started. It failed, and their backup plan to use a conventional offensive was woefully underprepared. The vast majority of their aircraft was never used, the Ukrainian thaw turned roads into mud, stalling tanks that were towed as souvenirs by Ukrainian tractor-wielding farmers. But it’s also a story of resilience and incredible bravery under fire by Ukrainians. Artillery stopped the tank onslaught, and small units using anti-tank weapons, stinger missiles and drones did a great job in making life absolutely miserable for the Russians.
Turn on the last point, as to what are the four regions being controlled by Russia, was the result of Ukrainian failure, or success by Russia I would say except for territory lost to the Russians in 2014, the rest is simply “success” - or rather, a consolation prize (temporarily) for the Russians.
When you're a nation 4 times the size of your opponent, have a military industry 2nd in the world for exports, a modern air force, naval control of the entire coastline, troops already occupying three of your adversary's provinces, and get to begin your invasion from your own borders, more than partial control of two additional provinces would be an immense failure on all counts.
