- In Ukraine there are growing concerns that the fight back against Russia is stalling on the front lines. With the supply of western weapons held up by political disputes, Ukrainian soldiers are increasingly relying on their own creations to defend against Russian forces. Why haven't the high hopes for Ukraine's summer counteroffensive been met.

#Ukraine #Russia #Counteroffensive
The Western media 6 months ago: Ukraine counteroffensive is a massive success!
The Western media now: Why did the Ukraine counteroffensive fail?
Because Ukraine attacked the entire front line wanting to take every square meter, almost literally foot 👣 by foot. They should have concentrated on the weak areas to break through to get behind the defense instead of trying to do so across the entire front from north to south.
2 world wars and they havent learned their lesson
@@charmerci That is the plan on why they want to take Robotyne. The problem is that there are more trenches behind the trenches. It became impossible to do an exploit behidn lines because the rear of the defense is miles away.
@@chocolat-kun8689 - my point is that on the initial big attack this past year, you concentrate many troops and military attacks on one very weak area to get behind the lines and then spread out from there, like making a hole in the wall rather than trying to knock the whole wall over at once.
@@charmerciThey literally concentrated on the Zaporozhye direction, that's where the first footage of destroyed columns of bradleys and leopards appeared, so this was definitely not a "test" attack.

Ukrainian counter-offensive is the first example of the highly effective use of helicopters against armored vehicles, they were designed primarily as tank killers, but in many wars they proved to be vulnerable, this time the Russian helicopters fully fulfilled their purpose and stopped the counter-offensive

How can Russians advancing be called a stalemate?
Because they always call it that. Bakhmut was a stalemate, then suddenly Ukraine lost it.
@@DrCherryPopperYes, just as Avdiivka has gone from critically strategic to minimally important.
@@DrCherryPopper Suddenly? It took months of hard fighting, with Russia expending tens of thousands of drones and shells and constant "meat-waves" of half-trained, poorly-armed convicts whose main job was to use up Ukrainian ammunition. The said Russian troops knew that they could expect to be fired on by third-line blocking battalions if they tried to run away. The Soviet Union used the same tactic in WW2, FYI.
Sounds more like your fantasies, based on Soviet history. Yet this hasn't been recorded in Ukraine, which is funny because ukrainians like to record anything that can boost their PR. And even if they took heavy losses, Ukraine losing Bakhmut is a setback because Ukraine needed bastions like Bakhmut to recapture all of Donbass. Now with Russia digging down there, they have to put lots of resources to retake these bastions, which looks just like nothing but a dream, giving the ukrainian counteroffensive ended in chaos for the ukrainians.@@rolandscales9380

those Russian shovels are amazing.
Peoples were making fun of Surovikin line and now that line is the one that hard stopped Ukranians and completely shifted the momentum. It's not a stalemate when Russia makes gains every day despite very bad wheater.
"Gains" they are tiny. Same goes for ukraine.
Real gains would be something like the offensive around Kharkiv. But that's very unlikely

@@thomasthereal4067 Of course they are but they are gains nonetheless. Ukraine are having to retreat from their heavily fortified positions into what? Fields and busted up towns and villages.

Because Ukraine is one of the most major military of Russian during ww2 .
Germany at it best couldn’t defeat Russia and Ukraine fighting together during ww2. Now Ukriane is fighting against Russia with help from among others Germany and at least is holding.

Germany wasn’t fighting against Russia, it was fighting against the USSR. The Soviet Union was a union out of socialist/communist states - and Ukraine was also a part of it…
@@RamilMagyerramov
Germany actually defeated Russia in WW1
To not heed the lessons of the WWII eastern front is to invite disaster.
At Kursk the germans waited for new tanks while the russians created defenses in depth. When the attack came too late, we know what happened.
The Germans failed at Kursk because they didn’t have enough reserve infantry divisions in the south to cover their flanks, which would’ve allowed the Panzer divisions to press the attack. In the event, despite being outnumbered and against deeply echeloned defenses, they still penetrated all the Soviet defense lines and and inflicted a 5:1 ratio of destroyed tanks.

The most sophisticated weapon the F16s have fought against was the simple guns of Iraqi soldiers, afaghan fighters, and the no anti aircraft Palestinian resistance. If NATO sends the F16s to Ukrain, whether piloted by Ukranian pilots or NATO pilots, then it will be indulged in challenges with sophisticated ant aircraft systems or have to face the Su35s. This is where the weakness of the F16s will appear. Here is when the F16s will lose their virginity to the Su35s. I suppose this is why the US refuses to send the F16s to Ukraine.

You got to admit Russia is the master of war of attrition going back to the era of the Tsars. If US took the type of casualties Russia habitually suffers, it would have given up before the end of the first year.
sure the Russians killed of a lot of minorities from their colonial empire during WW2 especially Ukrainians but yes they were loosing heavily even though Britain was suppling Russia with resources and weapons from all over the world... The timing is pretty obvious the timing when Russia started to turn the tide coincides with the time that the USA became a full party to WW2 after being attacked by the axis

Stalemate??, much like A defeat, he better get out of the country now if he values his life.
under the law, it is imposible to leave Ukraine for men
The militaries of NATO etc. just do not want to see the lessons of this war. The impact of modern technology means that there is nowhere to hide on the battlefield now. It means that concentrating to attack is suicidal. It means that all things being equal the defence is stronger than the attack. Whoever is doing the attacking is taking very high casualties. Basically we are now back to World War I. In 1916 practically the whole French army mutinied and refused to carry out offensives, and only to defend their positions. Those who carried on attacking such as the British sustained industrial levels of casualties. In the end, the truth, never recognised here in Britain, is that strategic level factors decided the war. Notably the collapse of the German economy and political system. The only way the west is going to win this war is if the Russian political system collapses. The economy of Russia is in a much better position strategically than the Central Powers in WWI. Russia has a large surplus of energy, food and most types of raw materials. In addition Russia is not as economically isolated as the Central Powers were. It has help from the highly complementary economy of China and in reality all the BRICS countries are largely trading with Russia. Much of the world does not see this war as their war however much the US tries to twist their arms to take sides. The west has made so many enemies around the world in the last 300 years that this is seen as a chance for their domination to be weakened.
Nato tactics doesnt work without air power
I will probably surprise you if I say that the USA, England, the Baltic countries, Spain, etc. trade with Russia, including Ukraine. In Russia, Ukrainian goods appear in shops, Russia pays Ukraine for gas transit, and Ukraine continues to buy gas from Russia. The United States also buys rocket engines for spacecraft from Russia(oil and fertilizer and nickel), England and the Baltic countries supply Russia (as well as Microsoft) with computer chips. There are a lot of things that are not being said in the mass media and world leaders.
The United States and Europe imposed sanctions not against Russia, but against its citizens, banning Netflix, adidas, etc. Don't believe in these sanctions, it's a prop for you to think that they support Ukraine
I did not know the details, so thank you, but it does not surprise me. @@Newtwo_
When i read your firsts sentences i only thought about WW1.
That’s NATO has take responsibilities, because they told to Ukraine fight with Russia we gonna support you, but they failed to supply continued support
You can only produce the ammo you have the ability to produce. In tangible reality you are constrained with in the boundaries of physics.
It's not like theoretical finance, where nothing is tangible and qualities are infinite.
NATO knows that Ukraine could never win no matter what support they got it was NATO'S goal for Ukraine to win they just wanted Russia to be weaken which isn't the result Russia has gained a lot of experience and is a much better force now .
NATO also doesn't have the capacity to supply enough weapons EU make 300000 artillery shell's in 1 year Russia makes over 2 million
Does matter how much support, less soldiers .. less resources. War is economic and Putin has now staked his legacy and life on this war.
How about Ukraine simply stops robbing itself out of hundreds of billions of dollars of military and humanitary aid? Ukraine is like a big bag with hundreds of holes in it.
Nobody besides western MSM had high hopes for the offensive.
I think still being around with a government after a next door superpower invaded almost 2 years ago is winning .

At 3:05, “ukraine’s counter offensive failed to deliver” presumes Ukraine had sufficient support to deliver. The narrative of many politicians and media was beyond optimistic.

In the begining of this month many of our other military experts said in a choir that the morale of the russian army must be realy low because of that thay had to reatreat since the begining of counteroffensive.

@@ShashotoANurBreaking News for u, russia has drones too, and look online to see the recruitment process in ukraine.
Not true. Russia refuses to mobilize after the previous mobilization unlike Ukraine which had at least 11 waves of mobilization.@@ShashotoANur

NATO significantly underestimates Russia
NATO significantly overestimates their own capabilities.
NATO has been shown to be weak and unprepared.
NATO has not entered the fight yet, in case you didn't notice. All it has done is providing some old armor and ammo.
Nato thought they could put the squeeze on the Russian people and that they would demand Putin back out of Ukraine. That didn't work, and that's all they had.

And that’s the reality
It was all the time only lies about Russia’s real power. And militar and economic.
Ukrainians using a small amount of old nato weapons is not the same as fighting nato lol. If American and NATO air power was really there fighting, the Russians would be absolutely annihilated
So they can steal billions from naive people and they succeeded
It is Ukraine's defeat because being given nato weapons doesn't make you nato. How many nato troops are in Ukraine?

" If you do as the Americans say, your economy is destroyed, your standard of living drops, you are joining a war you
don't need to fight, against a country who really isn't your enemy ....... " -- US Colonel Douglas Macgregor.
This is a tragic that Ukraine lost an entire generation of young men , under the direction of US politicians .
Tell Japón hahah
You're a Russian bot, you copy-paste that everywhere. It's Russia aiming their guns at people.
Yes? "under the direction of US politicians" and ample help of Germany and EU. .
But Putin attacked. If he didn’t do that no one would die
Macgregor is a simple grifter desperately trying to earn money on his last remaining shred of credibility.
On a strategic level, his only hope is that the US does not deliver any more military aid.
And that Europe does not outright buy military equipment from the US to donate to Ukraine.
For the individuals believing this bs, keep the following in mind:
If you are getting mugged or assaulted, don't call the police.
No peace officer should have to risk their lives for your belongings and lives.
That is EXACTLY what you are asking from the Ukrainians.
Mroons! (deliberate misspelling)
US in the WW1 for less than 1 year of European campaign lost 318.000 soldiers, on average 1000 a day. This war is very much simmilar and we can just imagine how many men Ukraine lost in counter offensive attacking superior enemy.
Russia is losing 3 men for every Ukrainian
About two hundred thousand
They never made the massive push so they didn't lose nearly as many, as said in the video, for good or ill in the long run we will have to wait and see. Nothing compared to Russias meat grinder tho in any case

The NATO trainings provided for these poor Ukrainian recruits were based on conflicts on Middle East, no on the current battlefield setting that they have
Their NATO handbook even includes “identifying a potential terrorist among crowds” or “how to navigate tank formations on the desert terrain”
USA NATO and allies have never experienced this kind of warfare before
USA only knew how to invade deserts
I knew from Nov.2022, Ukraine was losing because they did not issue any postage stamps.

Simple answer; Support money aid, were pocketed by Ukraine to fill their pockets.
Nope, most money dosent even leave the countries that promised money but simply is being spend in their own military industry and give them the shells, munition, vehicles and other things Ukraine requests, the prices in western arms industries for artillery shells for example have trippled so if it did cost 1000$ a piece in pre war times they pay 3000$ a piece now. Russia is apparently paying below pre war prices for it
By September, it was clear by any reasonable doubt that the Kiev's summer offensive was a complete failure. Why does it take until mid-December before DW can make this admission?
So, why did the russian offensive fail...
DW is a govt. parrot, it has to state the official western line.
@@john-toregundersen2655Really 😂 The ball was in Zelenskiy court to do something!

I bet a lot of people in Ukraine regret Maidan and Poroshenko's "their children will be sitting in cellars" was a boomerang
It failed because it wasn't properly supported by us and didn't even have air support. Then we demanded the impossible to the Ukrainian Army and expected them to win without giving them enough tools to prevail. Finally, we blamed them for not advancing. It's all rather disgraceful.
"stalemate" joke of the year.
DW shold say to German people, how much will the war on Russia cost them, tho, they already feel the cold...
Odessa, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov and other Russian lands are also under occupation of Ukraine.
under the occupation of the USA

Since when?
they can lose it if russian want to😂
Not for much longer.
Less than a year.
The race goes to the swift. Good people are often too slow and cautious. They have no chance against people who don't care about the consequences of their greed and act swiftly.
damn you actually said the truth
Why are you obsessed with the word swift?
Sometimes, yes. However recklessness also has its costs. Anyone whose been in a fight knows provoking your enemy to make them angry and make a mistake is how you get an in. At least sometimes. Russia does NOT care about its losses tho, that's for sure
The West sparked and provoked the war against Russia at beginning and will end in big failure and shame! West again fails in the war they created!
I am more afraid of our own mistakes than of our enemies' designs.
The operational pattern NATO recommended is better suited for a scenario in which the attacker has air parity or better, artillery parity or better, and a far better park of mine-clearing equipment then Ukraine possesses. The NATO generals weren't wrong that the Ukraine should have been seeking a battle of decision, if at all possible. They weren't wrong that the best way to achieve a battle of decision [in one's own favor] is to concentrate one's mechanized assets into highly mobile units which can execute a blitzkrieg-style operation in the enemy's tactical and operational rear. However, in order for the attacker to get armored mobile groups into the defender's rear to create the conditions for a battle of decision, breaches have to be opened in the defenses and exploited rapidly. Ukraine simply didn't have the ability to operate this way. The Russians retained the ability to react to Ukraine's movements, turning what was intended to be a fast-moving battle of decision into a grinding war of attrition.
The problem with that is that it strips the defenses in the other areas and the battlefield is massive running from the Kherson to donbas then north to the Russian border
@@pogo1140 That's always the problem with concentrating the available combat power in selected locations to achieve decisive results. You have identified the problem that has plagued generals throughout the ages.
Modern use of drones makes it near impossible to stage that many assets without the other side knowing immediately and sending a wave of hunter\killer drones, artillery, long range missiles all wrecking havoc on your concentrated forces.
Without aircrafts like F-16, without artillery ammunition which NATO didn't provide in proper quantities, without focus on other advanced weapons even with superior man power you can't do much. It is all politics who afraid of russia, or payed by russia. Without focus you can't get results.
@@deanwilliams433 I agree that drones have greatly complicated the operational patterns. If Ukraine had air and fire parity, this might not be an insurmountable problem. Without those things, the inability to mass combat power unobserved greatly reduces the ability of the attacker to exploit breakthroughs. Anti-drone warfare has some catching up to do.
Just start negotiations for peace.
Why did the russian offensive fail?
Far better question, thanks.
They already have 20% of Ukraine. That's not a failure

yeah this is the problem with lying, the cost of lies
Wait a minute how is Ukraine not winning they killed so many more of you and Russia couldn’t take the country and Ukraine is still taking pockets of ground as we speak. Ik you are wrong for a living on the CZcams comment section but try harder I can bully you that easily lol?!

In classic political speak, the moment you fail, you start blaming somebody else.
Why ?
Promised help was delivered slower than Russians has been building their fortifications and in smaller numbers than necessary and west perfectly knew that what they gave would fail.
You welcome. You just saved 18 minutes of your lifetime.
