I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the seven-hundred-eighty-fourth day of the war.
Day 784: Apr 17
Today, there are a lot of updates from the Kupiansk direction.
I also have an update regarding the cyber attack on this channel, which I will include at the end of the video.
Here, Ukrainian forces took advantage of an apparent Russian operational pause in this direction to increase pressure on the vectors around the city of Kupiansk, raided multiple ammunition depots and assets along the entire contact line, and undermined Russian logistics.
As you may remember, in the last months, Russian forces failed to advance on the positions near Kupiansk after multiple unsuccessful attempts. In order to dynamically adjust to the situation, Russian forces adopted an alternating vectors tactic to maintain the initiative, as they exhausted their offensive capability in some areas and completed their resupply in others. In some particular points, such as the strong point of Synkivka, the Ukrainian forces even managed to recover ground, and Russian forces had to retreat to the forest's interior. Additionally, some units located on this attack vector since last year were redeployed to the Liman direction in recent weeks, as Russian forces temporarily prioritized this other direction.
Ukrainian forces took advantage of this situation in the last few days to increase their efforts to undermine Russian positions and logistics. Geolocated images show multiple drone and artillery strikes on ammunition depots along the whole line
The first major strike raid happened northeast of the settlement of Tabaivka, where a kamikaze drone destroyed a field stockpile of TM-62 anti-tank mines. The footage shows a massive explosion just next to the P07 road to Kupiansk.
The next raid was conducted by the 14th Mechanized Brigade forces near Vilshana, where different vehicles and warehouses were attacked by drone-dropped grenades. Also, in Vilshana, an additional video shows how a Vampire hexacopter destroyed a Russian Ural-43-20 logistics truck in a massive explosion caused by a TM-62 anti-tank mine.
And as if that were not enough, Ukrainians took a step further and used again a Vampire UAV from the Ukrainian Border Guard to blow up one of the main crossings over the Zerhebets River in an attempt to undermine Russian supply routes.
Some Ukrainian sources even recently reported a widespread increase in looting cases on the civilian population in the occupied territories, raids on their properties, and the theft of animals and canned food, which may be an indicator of the increasing Russian logistic disruption and severe shortages of basic supplies of food, water, and clothes.
The most recent footage comes from the forest area surrounding Lyman Pershyi. It shows a major drone and artillery attack on Russian positions, with heavy fire and secondary detonations. Lyman Pershyi hosts one of the prime Russian bases in the entire direction and has also been a priority target of Ukrainian attacks for months.
Ukrainian officials had already warned earlier this year that Russian forces were amassing an estimated 80,000 troops in the Kupiansk direction, and many voices predicted it would be a priority for a potential next Russian offensive. Facing this prospect, Ukrainian forces appear to have made a special effort to disrupt Russian logistics in the region as much as possible in order to delay and make the amassing of a Russian offensive force as difficult as possible.
But the most important strike happened only a few days ago in the occupied city of Luhansk, where a supposedly precision strike on a Russian troop location was reported. At least two major explosions and a gigantic smoke column were recorded by multiple citizens, but not much confirmed information appeared during the very first hours. Russian sources initially claimed that a civil machine-building plant in Luhansk city was the target of the attack, but several city-based journalists and bloggers confirmed later that the target was indeed a Russian army location.
Finally, Ukrainian Air Force Spokesperson Major Ilya Yevlash stated that Ukrainian pilots conducted the operation and struck the Russian “Center Group” command post in the Luhansk region with Storm Shadow cruise missiles. He indicated that the operation was a complete success and added that Ukraine needs additional long-range missiles to conduct similar strikes against Russian military infrastructure in occupied Ukraine.
Some military analysts stated that the Ukrainian increase in rear-end strikes was something to be expected for two main reasons. Firstly, recent Ukrainian drone strike waves to Russian oil and gas assets drew scarce air defense systems away from the combat zone.

People probably want to rephrase the tweet instead of a straight copy/paste so it doesn't look so much like bot spam.
Number of Tweets I have done in the past 5 years is 2. One of them is for RFU to TeamCZcams. It was not difficult to do.
@teamyoutube this channel is under attack from malicious Russian actors. I urge you not to let them be successful in their efforts to shut down this excellent resource. Thankyou.
@@WulfgarOpenthroat Good point
Ukraine should be supplied with an airforce-worth of fighter aircraft, such as the F-16s and longer-range precision munitions, such as ATACMS (more of them, and the longest-range variants should be provided)}, and the russian military facilities inside of russia should be considered legitimate targets. It is worth noting that support for military aid to Ukraine in America is over 80% and increasing. This is because Americans can see that not only is aiding Ukraine the ethical thing to do, it is the practical thing as well. America has spent only approximately 6% of our military budget so far to help Ukraine. However, over half of the russian army has been destroyed. This is a tremendous bargain by any measure! In addition to this, when russia is defeated in this war, their barbaric ideology of imperialism will also be defeated, making Europe a more peaceful, stable place for many generations - as well as preventing a new arms race in the region. That is why billions spent today saves trillions tomorrow. The vast majority of Americans understand this. Americans also want to see Ukrainian military and civilian casualties minimized. This is why Americans are correct to support giving military aid to Ukraine.
Please write to your elected representatives to request this military aid. If you are a US citizen, please consider writing to President Biden and your other elected representatives, and demand Ukraine be given the above weapons - in war-winning quantities, and soon. The sooner we give Ukraine the weapons it needs to liberate all of its territory;, the sooner this war will be over, and with fewer Ukrainian casualties. Letters can be submitted electronically via the Whitehouse website. One can also google for ones' elected representatives - many of which have similar websites. One may simply write and submit a letter electronically to make one's desire known.
Oh thank goodness, your channel hasn’t been deleted! Don’t let those miserable Kremlin-employed trolls smother the truth!
Slava Ukraine!

Agreed
I know that you, RFU, are probably under a lot of stress from the cyber attack; just know that no matter what happens your audience is behind you and that Ukraine will win in the end.

Violating TOS isn't an attack. It's self-inflicted harm by the channel.
@@MrWeedWacky Every news channel in the world reuses content all the time, and nobody complains because it is essential to covering a continuing story. The attack consisted of complaints about it, thus utilising a weakness in the YT algorithm as it applies to news outlets. The fact that YT has no monitoring service, that can analyse unusual events for sources, coordination, repetition and the like is their failure, not the channel's.
Where does he show anything? He clearly stated it's bots. Reusing content on different language channels isn't against the rules. If that was the case Mr Beast would be banned too
@@MrWeedWacky So make your content more accesible by dubbing it in different languages is wrong?
Keep posting here for as long as you can, man.
At least Telegram does video and is ad-free. But it doesn't have the reach. YT get your heads out of your asses.

No kidding. We're survivors mate. Just ask my great grand parents assuming there's an after life.
You see blood, lol
May God help that it is true.
As long as we support it and go the extra mile. I made sure to let CZcams know that I was a Premium and CZcams TV customer paying them over 100$ US per month and I was very unhappy with what they were doing. A simple thumbs up and comment may not cut it. But once they realize it can affect their bottom-line things change. Thanks to everyone who did everything they could to support this channel. Use the feedback feature under your Account icon (top-right) to really let them know how you feel, and we can beat the RU bots every time.
@@mphomosoeu6624 Yes, because the most used phrase for a pro-Russian channel would be "unfortunately for Russians..."
Unfortunately for Russians ❤

@@andersgrassman6583 LOL you're right 😂

You or someone should start that channel, great handle.
@@DN-oi1kt < ORC
CZcams is idiotic, trying to close down one of its best, quality channels.
I was delighted to see this post, even though you're still under the completely unjust threat of closure.
Victory to Ukraine.
And thank you for all your fantastic videos covering the war.
In fact, the reality is different, this channel distorts a lot of information about the war, and only pro-Ukrainian people love it, there is a lot of propaganda and distortion of events in this war.
If you watch this channel, you can conclude that Ukraine is constantly winning, but why is Mr. Zelensky tightening mobilization and saying in an interview that they will lose without new weapons?
@@elektrokrasnodar7258plenty of pro-russian news sources are available. You go there. I will stay here.
@@elektrokrasnodar7258 What information is distorted?
Watching this channel, I conclude that throwing meatwaves of convicts at the Ukrainians is not a very effective plan and sending tanks into battle across open fields just means you lose a crapload tanks.
@@elektrokrasnodar7258 Thanks to this being 2024 and HD footage is everywhere, I have seen these meat waves with my own eyes. Your propaganda won't work on those people who believe their own eyes and not the words of a complete stranger on the internet.
@@coffeebuzzz Well, it is a propaganda channel. But I am ok with that, I just don't take every word as literal truth.
Unfortunately for Russians though, this propaganda is based on reality, while Russian propagande is mostly just made up fantasies.

Reporting From Ukraine is one of the few, if not the only credible source for day to day tactics and events.
dude revealing army tactics even never was in army 😂
Ocheretyne? Berdichy?Novokalyonove?
except he doesnt mention really just how much land russia is gaining.
sadly Ukraine needs lots and lots of help badly, or else the front line may collapse by the end of this year
Russia in the past month has gained about 0.01% and the month before 0.02%. The gains in these daily videos are so small it makes little difference compared to the size of Ukraine
@@MrRono19 when ukrainians take 0,001% report from Ukraine speak about a Victory.
When Russia take adivka or tonenke, stepove etc = nothing
glad to see you again from the usa 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦

Thanks for the update and views 🇺🇲🇺🇦 Oklahoma USA 🇺🇦🇺🇲
Reporting from Ukraine is the best source of tactical information. You rock!
Not rely he only talks about Ukrainian success and most of the time he talks about small victories or ones that have no impact on the overall war or battle. Its nice to hear about Ukrainians defend there homeland but in the grand tactical scale of the war Ukraines army is getting closer to collapse. And the reality needs to be addressed in order to get ppl to recognized the dire situation and maybe take action.
I'm glad to see you're still here. Long may that continue.
You're back! Excellent!
Thank you for explaining the situation.
The truth can not be silenced.
Thank you for your continuing efforts.

You need to do your research m8, not difficult to flood sites with bots !
glad your still here those bots cant stop the truth
One of Top 2 reporting for Ukraine
👍🇺🇦🇦🇺
This is a very valuable channel, and it really should be available in every language. I don't understand why CZcams has a problem with that.
Pro-Russian signaling/deceiving asides, it could be because their dumb regulation bots detect that RFU's channels in other languages are copying/stealing content from this English-version RFU channel, therefore making them unsuitable for monetization (and I understand such regulation by large). Instead, YT's regulation team should consider that subscribers, and more decisively watchers of other RFU's channels are just to be added to the watchers pool of the original RFU channel. Logical but hard to implement?
YT does not have a problem with that. russians have a problem with that. Therefore they do mass reporting through their troll farms and botnets and because YT is pathetic in its "support" they just count "1000 reports by obvious troll farm > lets close the channel" without any human looking at it. Then IF human support is reached, their target is to divert the support request so original decision would be held to minimize effort and to not admit fault.
Thanks for another great video!🇦🇺👴🏻
Brilliant to see you're still here! I hope that CZcams realises that you are incredibly valuable for our understanding of the war in Ukraine. Thank you so much for your wonderful daily tactical updates and of the exceptional courage of the Ukrainian Army. Heroyam slava Ukraini! 💙💛
I did send a comment/request to CZcams directly to protect your channel.
Fantastic Tactics and Strategy from the Ukrainian Warriors and President Zelensky. You continue to amaze the world with your courage and Skills.....Glory to Ukraine from the UK.xx
Slava Ukrainia ! 🇫🇷❤🇺🇦
Slava Rusiji!
Heroyam Slava !

Your content is awesome
Imagine a big multi-billion dollar company like CZcams and you have to go and beg them on Twitter X because they have no support access for you to get help totally ridiculous.
Yep it's dictatorial
Actually, search “Contact Google” and you’ll find a helpful number, it comes up first in most searches.. 😉
YT has intentionally made its "support" channels so bad and hidden - it is cheap if it is automated, unskilled labor or too hidden to be found. Twitter has taken over because they cannot hide the support requests that reach them there.
I am grateful for this channel and ask CZcams to repel the cyber attack and reinstate it.
Glad to seeU back. And...yo, CZcams...wake up and leave this channel alone.😢😮
Thank you for your wonderful reporting

Good to see you!
If you live in the US, write to your representative about the russian censorship in CZcams. If you live in the EU, write to the EU Comission. These are both channels that do give a real impression to these people about whether something might be worth looking over, especially considering the slew of scandals and regulation about social media in recent years.
You think the us representatives will do anything? Lmfao they haven't yet why would they care to bother now? All they do is have people talk to them and they ask questions and then that's the end of it. Writing reps doesn't do anything especially ones that can't do anything against youtube Twitter ect
Russian censorship in youtube? Mate, you dropped your tinfoil hat back there.
