And for you as well, Hi, I've got a question. How do you feel about abled bodied men from Ukraine who have run to other countries?
Nothing matters, buy some gum😜😜😜.
YOU FAIL (BIG TIME) TO UNDERSTAND THAT RUSSIA IS NOT INTERESTED TO TAKE OVER BIG RUINED CITIES BY THE TIME THEY FINISH BOMBING THE UKRAINIANS SO THEY RUN AWAY. RUSSIA HAS NO INTEREST WHAT SO EVER SINCE IS NOT ABOUT THE CITIES, BUT ABOUT THE LAND. RUSSIA WANT TO TAKE AS MUCH LAND AS IT MAY BE POSSIBLE SO THAT BY THE TIME ANY PEACE IS FORCED UP ON UKRAINE, RUSSIA WILL HAVE HALF OF UKRAINE'S LAND UNDER CONTROL . Is not about significant or insignificant
towns
and cities but IT IS RATHER ABOUT: "JUST ROB UKRAINE OF IT'S LAND, - TAKE AS MUCH AS IT IS POSSIBLE BEFORE WE ARE STOPPED AND BEFORE WE ARE NO MORE ABLE TO TAKE ANY MORE OF IT " - Vladimir Putin.
IT APPEARS THAT IS VERY HARD FOR UKRAINE TO RETAKE ANY LAND UNLESS RUSSIA WITHDRAWS AS IT DID IN THE PAST OF THREE MAIN REGIONS: Kiev, Kharkiev and KHerson
Paul, an independent Canadian reporter said he actually read the $61 billion aid package and said that most of it was going to US troops along the Russian border countries and other stuff. About only a quarter of it was going to Ukraine's military.
Please support Lend Lease bill for the Ukraine: lookup S.4179 and "Peace Through Strength" H.R.8038.
Also help Ukraine to get "excess defense articles" - something that USA is paying Taxpayer's money to utilize now but can be sent to Ukraine and will make difference there.
USA is currently destroying cluster munition shells that might literally save Ukraine by saving money to the Taxpayers.
Please spread the word.
I remember memories of old man from Japan. As war was being waged radio was filled with glorious victories of japan military, but as he started to place those victories on the map he noticed that they are closer and closer to the mainland
this war started with Russian paratroopers less than 50km from Kyiv though...
@@mangalores-x_x the way this is going it might as well end that way as well
That's a really cool story but it Doesn't have anything to do with this video? Ukraine isn't claiming to have any victories at all they've been saying that they keep being forced to retreat and lose ground and do not have enough ammo, Russia is advancing so it can't be about them if they're retreating. Cool story though

Greetings from The Netherlands. I'm sorry. I can't watch this now. We are going to remember the fallen of WWII and wars after that now. We have 2 minutes of silence and the rest of the evening are remembering the sacrifices the Canadians, US, UK, Dutch and Polish soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom. Also the Dutch resistance fighters and civilians who lost their lives. I wiil look at this one tomorrow...
it's ok i'll give you a sitrep, the russian captured both Ochertyne and Arkhanhelske
You could have just came back and watched it after, sans comment...
We are spending a small amount of our GDP to restraint the biggest military threat to Europe, which also directly affects our national security. But not risking the lives of any American or NATO soldiers. So far this has shown Russia remains a threat but their military is not the Russian bear it seemed to be just a few years ago. And their losses make it evident they will need years to recover to the point they could mount a major offensive in Europe. As long as NATO retains their cohesion. Because without NATO back up the Baltic states, with less than 6 million people in three countries, would be an easy target for Russia. There are also countries around Ukraine like Moldova or Bulgaria that Russia may target. Especially Moldova, where Russia is supporting a break away province, establishing a foothold they can expand control from. But Russia is tied up in Ukraine and can't afford to initiate further any military adventures now. But if they succeed in packaging a large section of Ukraine and have a forced peace there if NATO and the US stop their support, Russia will be free to invade these smaller neighbors in a few years. After using their propaganda resources to soften up the population of those neighbors and use isolationism in the West to stay out of the conflict. Even possibly with our smaller NATO allies. I can hear politicians in Congress saying do we really want to send our troops to defend Estonia, with less than 1.5 million people. At one time a satellite of Russia anyway. Let them have it, it won't ever affect us. Except Estonia sit on one side of Russian access to the Baltic Sea, across from Finland and near Sweden. Making it easier for Russian naval forces to access the North Atlantic. And shows why traditionally neutral Sweden and Finland have joined NATO since Russia invaded Ukraine. They are looking ahead ten years when Russia recovers from losses in Ukraine decides it's time to reestablish Russian control of the Baltic. Betting that if the West abandons Ukraine they will just as easily abandon small NATO allies like Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia, smaller bites off of the European apple but just as important as Ukraine for Russian expansion.
Let me remind you that Russia is fighting for its security. The NATO bloc is a danger to Russia, and as long as it is at Russia's borders, conflict is inevitable. As proof of Russia's intentions, I will cite the Peace Treaty initialed between Ukraine and Russia in March 2022, when the war was already underway. The main points of the agreement are Russia withdrawing troops from Ukraine, Ukraine gives a guarantee not to join NATO. But NATO forbade Ukraine to sign the treaty and forced it to continue the war. That is, it is NATO that is the source of tension, and approaching the borders of Russia it will cause a big war with the use of nuclear weapons.
Yes and no. Europeans know the litigation of Ukraine becoming a new democracy freedom land off Putin's claws.
To give you a picture. Imagine the state of Texas declaring today their independance, elect a president for the country of Texas, and screams and succeed at NATO for their legitimate protection from USA. Now imagine country of Texas become ally with Canada, Mexico, argentina and those countries are nato. Those countries know uss tech is old as fuck but they forgot usa massing old ways and never got ready with munitions and whose private production is great quality but slow as fuck and can't hold a candle.
That's why Russians are still in Ukraine. Ill prepared gloating countries with their tech but go to the front with their dick in their hand.
Russia is not a democracy but Russia still is a form of federal states.
Putin's issue is megalomania, egocentrism, overly tight control by fear of contention or competion with fellow russian, kgb deceit and deception teaching. He rules like a king by fear, deathly oppression, and lies for popularity.
The one point putin's right about is that if he was not in power, if he was not who is then Russia would be a complete chaos oligarchs turning into mafia clans simply killing each other for wealth and territory control.
This long-winded essay talking absolute BS
Psycho parroting rant.
How do you ignore the fact that-vrctoria-nulnd openly bragged how US spent 5 BILLION dolars on coup in UKR to bring neo-nazis to power? Than those neo-nazis banned-Russian language by law, then they expelled 500.000 Russians from Ukraine, finaly they-klled 16.000 Russian civillians and 1500 children of Donbas. Ukraine lost only 8000 civillians according to UN, while-Iraq lost 1.6-million, of wich 300.000 were kids. This discrapancy says volumes as to how carefuly Russians conduct this operation compared to-US-invasions

This channel has really grown from the few videos i watched a year or so ago. It is a well balanced informed & accurate in its reporting. Unlike other pro Ukraine channels it is not just all good news for Ukraine its the situation as it stands, warts and all. I really appreciate your military background in the break down of the troops( both sides) dug outs & use of various equip, you have on many occasions pointed out small things in the clips i would have completely missed never serving in the military . Thanx, keep up the good work.
There are other pro-Ukraine channels that present bad news, but yeah, there are some good-news-only channels that need to be balanced.
Chasiv Yar is significant, because it occupies the high ground and would make the advancement in the direction of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk a bit easier for the rusdian army.
This is just a small village that has no strategic significance for Ukraine. The Ukrainians will soon make a tactical maneuver to the east and lure the Russians into a trap.
Yea Ukraine is running out of resources, if they had more resources most likely Russia would be stuck at Bakhmut still. Edit: judging by the west shitting themselves over tactical success over the Russians and ramping up aid again, I highly doubt they would reach those two cities. Chasiv Yar is going to be another Bakhmut.
@@enriqueperezarce5485we weren't worried about russia advancing. I mean we were but I don't think we were sh****** ourselves. We explained this 1000 times already that the putin sympathizers and lover in congress held onto the bill basically freezing it for half a year. Ukraine was losing everything except fpv drones but they still stayed in the fight and now they can get Russia back to where they were before pushing closer to Chasiv Yar. But hey believe what you want.
@@ralphpierre9122 The Russians ran out of missiles back in May 2022, all the tanks were captured by the Ukrainians, the entire fleet was sunk, all the planes were shot down, most of the Russian soldiers aged 18-55 were killed... the Ukrainians win. I know this... but you continue to believe Russian propaganda

We in the west aren’t spending that much money in Ukraine. Most of it is used for replacing our own obsolete weapon stockpiled.
Ikr and their still balling
Abrams, Himars, Bradleys, M777, F-16, etc. are they worth nothing ? Where are all the “outdated” artillery ammunition, why are they purchased from third countries for Ukraine ? xD
@@LexMakarov Artillery munitions have a shelf life. Many Himars rockets was also close to or past shelf life. Abram’s exist in too big numbers and only 31 was sent. Bradley’s are old and should already have been replaced. F-16’ from Europe are older versions which are replaced by F-35 or will be replaced soon. They are almost 50 years old. About 80-90% of the money is spent in western countries replacing old stuff.
@@LexMakarovAbrams, Bradley, and the M777 are all from the 80s.
Himars is the newest made in the 90s. And the F-16 was made in 1978.
This is legacy equipment that has remained in service for so long partly because we haven’t had an enemy that requires us to innovate to the scale we did back in the cold war. We are getting to test our equipment against a real opponent to see how it fares. What do we lose by giving Ukraine 31 Abrams? Hell the marine corps got rid of all their tanks anyways. We aren’t giving Ukraine any F-16s personally we just gave the go ahead for other countries to give theirs to Ukraine. And there’s over 6700 Bradley’s, if Ukraine gets 100 who cares? We got more

He knows. He and Davidov and all their kind know. However it's easy to milk money out of the slava Ukraine posters as long as you keep lying to them and giving them false hopes.
Some youtuber called "yewleaa" or something, Davidov, they all do exactly that while also disgustingly monetizing their videos and selling "apparels" etc on the very same videos where they act like they care about their fellow countrymen.
Denys pushing lies because his life is not on the line while avoiding the draft like a coward. His pathetic defenders come up with things like "this is how he's best serving his country". Why don't his countrymen also allow to choose for themselves how they can serve Ukraine best?
2:36 How many times did you say that?
Honestly, I don't know how far they gonna go before completely evacuating back to Russia.
What I bet is that they are always going to follow the railroads and try to take the high ground first, then pincer. Always, which is better than attacking randomly.
Ukraine really likes getting its unit encircled, I don't think the command shake-up that Ukraine went through really benefited them.

One thing I have not seen much of in videos during the war is use of smoke. You can get it through artillery smoke shells, smoke pots, vehicle smoke by spraying diesel on the exhaust manifold, or defensive smoke grenade salvoes fired from the smoke grenade launchers on the turrets of tanks and IFVs. I suspect most western armies stopped stockpiling smoke pots and maybe even smoke artillery shells to a large extent to save money. Those types of munitions would really help the Ukranians now.
You noticed that too about smoke and you think here is where you would want to use it especially the anti-tank units
You should see Operation Harsh Doorstop,!I cant breathe in that game!
Chasiv Yar is a few Km West of Bahkmud , even I have known that for the last year. I even knew how to pronounce them.
You're suggesting Chasiv Yar isn't important? That is false. It's the best defensible high ground position between the Russians and their objective of controlling this whole area of Donetsk Oblast. If the Russians take it it's all downhill to Kramatorsk/Slovyansk. And it defends the left flank of Konstyantynivka, an important supply hub. If UKR loses it, this whole area is going to get rolled up.
Avdeevka also was not so important and the result of losing it is so obvious.
@@yeti5857This isn't the result of losing avdivka and anyone who knows anything about the whole situation would know that. This is about losing access to all weaponry, ammunition and equipment for 6 months, and shockingly when an army doesn't have any of that for 6 months it will start losing!
@davidbaker231 chasiv yar is obviously important, I know you're a blindly propagandized pro russian robot and wont understand logic like this but Ukraine is not going to completely collapse in your fantasy of russia victoriously rolling up the rest of the donbass in a week if they lose chasev yar. Russia is currently breaking through Ukrainian lines almost completely unopposed due to no ammunition and tactical errors/incompetence, and they're only managing 1-3 kilometers per day, this is probably the least resistance russia will have ever faced in this entire war until ukraine starts getting these weapons from the aid package and theyre only going at 2km a day pace. Russia still has months to take chasiv yar, and then at the earliest it will still take russia months to reach each one of those places, per place then months more to encircle the city, probably a year each to take the 2 big cities and a year for just konstantinivka and surroundings, thats if they do not but advance at this pace currently. But Ukrainian positions in an entire city are not going to just collapse because they dont have the high ground or because russia reached the city like they are right now. They still havent even reached chasiv yar yet let alone established even a start of an encirclement. So that "roll up" and subsequent victories is going to take years
@@cameronspence4977
And the failed Ukrainian summer counter offensive with a lot of western weapons was a result of what?
The truth is Russia has learned from their mistakes and they are stronger than ever.
Ukraine needs western support with nato Boots to win.
@@yeti5857I don't know how pro russian you are and whether you're just someone who supports russia or a full on Internet Research Agency propaganda account, so depending you might really not like the facts Im about to state, but the objective facts of this matter is that is Ukraine's complete and utter failure and unexplainable to stupidity to do even a single thing at all in the 10 months after their successful 2022 offensives to either continue attacking while russia was on the back foot after kherson, or halt and stop the russians from just sitting there for 10 months to build lines and lines of fortifications and defenses undisturbed while the ukrainians sat there and just watched them do it and did nothing, is the reason the ukrainian's counter offensive failed and I said as much before they started in june that I give it a 50/50 chance of success Due to this major strategic error of them just stopping and allowing the Russians to regroup and rearm. So you can think whatever you want, but them's the facts about Ukraine's failure in their counter offensive. You can name whatever country you think it is That has the best military equipment on earth, Russia, India, America, France, whatever, if the ukrainians had any of those countries equivalent stuff instead of the NATO equivalents it wouldn't have made a difference at that point, unless they had air superiority, it obviously wasn't due to anything with the NATO equipment. They didn't stop the russians from building defences or continue to attack them, and they tried to use Nato equipment and tactics without having the prerequisites that those tactics and equipment depend on so they failed, there is your answer
I think one of the reasons Russia has recently been dominating in the wooded areas is mostly lack of artillery ammo. FPV drones just don’t cut it around lots of trees. I tore up one of mine yesterday hitting a branch without leaves and the drone ended up starting on fire from the voltage spike when the props hit the branches. Trees just suck. ATACMs don’t have that problem though when using cluster munitions and they’ll clean the woods out just fine assuming Ukraine has enough and Russia doesn’t learn how to jam them.
Which is exactly why Russia was influencing the US Congress with everything is had to get them to not vote on the funding for Ukraine. Russia knows the funding makes a major difference. Slava Ukraini!
@@beebscalicor More likely is that the US congress is delaying the aid due to the fact that the US is incapable of manufacturing much of this gear quickly. The US have been depleting their reserves quite a bit supporting Ukraine, and they have to restock. The 6-month delay fits that quite nicely, and the "fight" in congress is a viable excuse for the delay.
@@Warren_Peace No. The MAGA GOP are in the bag for Ruzzia and have been for nearly a decade. They did their worst to stop all aid to Ukraine and only caved in to the Democrats just before the Democrats were going to do it anyway.
@@Warren_Peace But why make our government look bad and the Republicans look bad just to cover up for military contractors?

If you knew what side Ukraine was on in that war I think you would know that analogy doesn’t quit hit as hard as you think because your quit literally talking about a few of the Ukrainian SS units that were involved in those operations around Moscow. And how well did that end up for them last time?
@@DanW-nk7snOnly the soviets had more population than the EU and where being bankrolled by the allies who were also directly in war with germany. Not even close to the balance of this conflict
Territory is a poor metric of success in my opinion. Not saying that the Ukrainians are doing super duper, but I would argue that a fluid defence is better than a static defence especially when the enemy has some local air supremacy. You absorb the blow and make a counterthrust when the time is right.
its not over til it's over!
Follow my post analysis from yesterday. You are still missing the big picture. The push is north to Chasiv Yar!!!
Counter attack encircling the sailiant
THE COPIUM IS SO FUCKING STRONG HOLY SHIT
What was said that is untrue or wishful thinking?
I think for once someone was smart and saw just how big of an encirclement they are putting themselves in, and then have seen the insane losses in the past week, and decided to pull back. Now 5 days later, we saw the mass slowdown and losses of Russia's forces and equipment for a few roads and open fields.
I haven't seen anywhere from Russian officials who stated that chasov yar should be taken by may 9.
Because they aren't sure and don't want to say something that might not happen, also Russians know chasiv yar is an important town so if they can take in time they can brag about it to the public during the ceremony. It's the mentality of dictatorships.
Probably just a tall tale spread around unofficially to divert resources to chasiv yar while the ruskies poke around areas where resources are low. Same with the looming kharkiv “assault”
@@iiiDartsiiithat’s the point . Nobody in the Russian apparatus said that. Just the Ukrainians for propagandistic reasons

Since when is the population of a town the sole deciding factor of its strategic military importance?
Once Russia captures Chasiv Yar, it will gain fire control over key Ukrainian supply routes in the area as well as seriously endangering the cities of Kostiantynivka and The railway in Kostiantynivka which is said to be the backbone of Ukrainian supply and support in the east. Druzhkivka, Kramatorsk, and Sloviansk, the last Ukrainian strongholds in Donetsk Oblast.
Chasiv Yar may only have a population of 12/13k but in reality almost everyone has fled a long time ago and probably less than 2k remian but thats not the point. Because controlling the town will place Russia in striking distance of cities with populations totaling hundreds of thousands.

Their goal first is elimination of the Ukraine army and those small advances are for that purpose, while Ukrainian goal is to protect or take back land.

I suggest anyone here to watch the video posted a few months ago with the retreat from avdivka, you are saying LEGITIMATELY the same thing here now, on the Russian victory of Ochertyne, as you said during the Ukrainian retreat from avdivka.. "tons of empty land, long trips from the next city, the lines will settle here"
Do you really know what is going on now bro? Because the way I see it, while the war will be going on for much longer, a lot of the 2022 objectives are suddenly looking WAY More takable than they did in 2022. Meanwhile you're saying Russia isn't going to be going much farther?
And dude I get that war is is foggy, we dont have the full picture, from the picture I'm seeing, you are being majorly disingenous. Be honest to your fans. You give Ukraine way too much credit when serious analysts to this war are beginning to look and consider what is the best path forward for Ukraine.
He is just pandering to his main audience....
Then what are the achievements of the russian army since the initial push 2022? A village here, an empty field there. While it´s true that it represents progress it doesn´t change the fact that these "achievements" don´t really move the needle in this conflict, not with the losses that are incurred on the russian side.
The fact that even a part of the russian ammunition has to come from North Korea and Iran shows that even with turning their entire economy into supporting the war effort it is not enough to actually provide the needed resources. The fact that their stockpiles of old equipment is dwindling at a rapid pace can be literally seen from space. And the fact that Ukraine has now found a way to target russian oil depots is really going to hurt russia not only economically but also militarily.

Love your channel. Your big city experience is showing. In many parts of the US a place with over 10,000 people would be a city. Chasavyar are almost 13,000 people would probably be in the ten largest cities in SD in US. If you look at the map it is the only place of any size, City versus town are relative to what else is nearby. A town has a gas station with fast food, a liquor store and maybe a beautician or auto mechanic. A city would have over 2 dozen stores, medical services, a dentist ,pharmacy several gas stations etc. It is not a bedroom community but free standing as a supplier of most goods and services needed on a regular basis. Please come to beautiful SD when you have a chance, but keep your gas tank half full. At night it could be 70-80 miles to the next town with a gas station open on Sundays and after 8 pm.

Strike Gum is a salient product.
When a combat veteran talks about the GDP of countries and the share of military spending.... you need to know the following. Russia's GDP is 30 times less than the GDP of the countries that help Ukraine. At the same time, Russia produces weapons (for example, tanks, shells, missiles) more than all NATO countries combined, If Russia increases its military spending, it will be a nightmare for NATO and the United States, since the effectiveness of Russia's military complex is much higher than that of NATO countries. As an example, in two years the cost of shells produced in Russia has not increased, and the cost of shells produced in the West has increased 10 times. That is, in monetary terms, assistance to Ukraine is increasing, and in material terms it is even decreasing.
Controlled withdraw 😂😂 they’re running away. Ffs 🤦
Bear in mind that the US expenditure largely goes to US arms manufacturers, fueling jobs and tax revenues. So the net impact is much less. Russia makes much of its weapons , but relies on foreign components that are embargoed (and so expensive to procure on the black market), or on Iran and North Korea.
Did the TV tell you about foreign components? Then you have to believe that there are only 2 days of missiles left, and the losses of the Ukrainian army are 30,000, and there are nuclear weapons in Iraq, and Elvis Presley is alive.
Can anyone give me a source on the 8% GDP figure?
You make it sound nice about russian break through being contained and not taking as much as they wanted. But What russia is doing is widening advancements to eliminate their salients. Russia is doing this right, and the text book way.
So France 🇫🇷 can hold off jumping in.
It’s like we at the “hold my coat” part of a good old fashioned felonious assault brawl.
Supposedly when the front line collapses…
How's that Right Sektor coup d'etat working out?😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The US is not spending that much on defense of Ukraine. It allocating money to purchase new equipment and donating old equipment. The amount being spent on Ukraine is actually so much less.
The same amount is being taken out of our tax dollars. Don’t move the goalpost 🙄
"Old equipment" somewhat of a relative term. Old US equipment is generally of late Cold War,Desert Storm,early GWoT, era. It's advanced,but
bypassed in sophistication by newer US equipment.Old Russian equipment is of 1950s,1960s,or 1970s quality and almost totally analog.
1990s US equipment is still much better than 1970s Soviet equipment.

Abrams, Himars, Bradleys, M777, F-16, etc. are they worth nothing ? Where are all the “outdated” artillery ammunition, why are they purchased from third countries for Ukraine ?
Hi, I've got a question. How do you feel about abled bodied men from Ukraine who have run to other countries?
It’s their choice. Doubt they would be useful on the front honestly they may get others hurt
@@John_shepard You think that only people who want to fight be eligible for mobilization? If Ukraine lift border ban you will see how many will run to leave Ukraine. Ukraine change law about consular service for people abroad, so now if they want to get papers need to go back to Ukraine.
@@edhargquest8710 so I’ve heard. Will see after the 18th when it goes into effect. Lots of nations say they won’t deport but who knows
@@John_shepard Well if Ukrainians start to expire passports and Countries who are say to be Ukrainian allies need to obey they own laws and dont have other option then to deport Ukrainians who dont have valid papers. Its will be ridiculous that countries who are not allies or neutral start to help Ukraine and deport people back and that allies ignore and not help Ukraine and refuse to do so.

@@damonburroughs5283russia is using a crane? well, that's big news. Meanwhile ukraine is getting destroyed.
You keep saying it doesn't matter, but the Russians continue to push forward.
Bot bot
@@waynejohnson9135 this guy made an obvious point that comes to mind for all sane people. So far, the only bot here is you
If Russia is capturing fields or territory without strategic value while Ukraine is building up defenses farther back and waiting for ammo and equipment to arrive, then Russian gains don't matter. Russia will arrive at next defenses and Ukraine will have the artillery ammo to blast the Russians.
It's not like a game where holding territory gives points per turn or something.
@@Texas240That has obviously not been Ukraine's strategy in this war at all. They've made the decision to stubbornly defend every town to the very end and you can see that this decision has cost them dearly.
@@evilleader1991 - You've been watching a different war. First, in the initial Russian onslaught, Ukraine had to defend as best they could with the unprepared defense they had. Otherwise, they would've been overrun.
Later, after the initial onslaught was thwarted and Russia was forced withdraw troops to sustainable logistics lines, Ukraine had two major breakthroughs which liberated a significant amounts of territory in Kharkiv and Kherson regions that Russia had captured in the initial part of invasion.
Once that was accomplished and winter set in, Ukraine has fought from the defense until they are no longer able to do so at beneficial attrition rate and then they fall back and repeat. That was the case around Bakhmut as well as Avdiivka.
You can't look at the war merely from the tactical point or you won't understand it. There are interconnected pieces. Bakhmut probably should have been left sooner than it was from a TACTICAL or local perspective. However, the reason Ukraine was fighting in Bakhmut wasn't so much to hold that city. Ukraine was fighting in Bakhmut first to attrit the Russians who were using their advanced tactics of sending waves of men out to camber over the previous wave of men that were eliminated by the Ukrainian troops fighting from defensive positions and using artillery, drones, automatic weapons fire to eliminate Russians out in the open.
Second, Ukraine was fighting in Bakhmut "stubbornly and to the bitter end", as you put it, to keep the Russian troops and logistics centered on the Bakhmut region INSTEAD of the Zaporizhia region where Ukraine intended to begin their offensive when they had enough equipment and troops returned from training in the EU to do so. In hindsight, the Russians mined that area more heavily than any other place on the planet and Western military advisors had no clue how to clear minefields that are protected by artillery without air superiority.
Getting back to your "bitter end" point, this isn't so much the result if Ukraine's strategy being faulty as it is an issue of frightened Western leaders taking an appeasement mindset and trickling enough equipment to Ukraine for them to avoid being overrun en masse by Russia across the entire front but not enough and not enough of the right equipment soon enough for Ukraine to fight they would want to. The entire war has been a study in Ukraine doing more with less.
Realize that the "world's 2nd strongest military" has been stymied by a poorer, smaller neighbor that was completely unprepared for the full scale, 3 prong Russian invasion of February 2022.
Ukraine held Avdiivka for the same reason as Bakhmut. Russia was throwing away 1,000 soldiers and tens of pieces of armor per day and allowing Ukraine to eliminate those numbers from a beneficial attrition standpoint by Ukraine fighting from the defense. Ukraine's supporters failed to keep their promises of "supporting Ukraine as long as it takes" and as artillery and mortar ammunition dried up, Ukraine again was faced with the situation of being unable to eliminate the waves of Russians clambering over the dead, previous wave and had to withdraw.
Ukraine fought in Avdiivka too long in your opinion. Did ask yourself, "Why?" No. You didn't, so I'll tell you. Ukraine was fighting in Avdiivka for the other reason as Bakhmut, to keep the Russians centered there and buy time for proper defenses to be constructed farther back. Yes, it's absolutely a failing that more Ukranian troops had to sacrifice in Avdiivka than necessary because the previous military leadership hadn't thought to construct proper defensive lines and fortifications while they were watching the Russians do exactly that under General Suroviken.
This is one of the huge failings that most media fail to talk about and especially fail to attribute to the much lauded General Zaluzhny. However much the men liked Zaluzhny, he forgot to build a proper defensive line and that led to Ukraine having to hold Avdiivka longer than they would have liked (til the bitter end, in your words), especially in the face of unfulfilled promises by Western nations on artillery and other ammo.
It's a bit like you planned to buy lunch every day and your parents promised to give you money for lunch every day, and by Wednesday, they stopped giving you lunch money. You trusted your parents. Shame on you. Right?
So, with defenses being built and Ukraine out of ammo, they withdrew from Avdiivka. In your opinion this was foolish stubbornness. However, you probably don't have someone who's already moved into your living room trying to break into your bedroom. If you did, you'd probably fight "stubbornly and foolishly" to keep them out.
By your logic, Ukraine should retreat from any fight with the Russians. That wouldn't be a very good defense at all and Ukraine would quickly be overrun. I don't know whether you failed to see and understand the strategic situation that I explained above or you are confused pro Russian Westerner and just want to disparage Ukraine in their fight for survival against a stronger, much more foolish and much more stubborn opponent.
I hope it's the former and you now understand WHY Ukraine fought in Bakhmut and Avdiivka as long as they did and also that Ukraine has liberated much of what Russia took in 2022. If it's latter, please realize that Russia considers the West and you, an enemy and part of a zero sum game where something can't be good for Russia unless it's bad for the West, where you live.
Are they drunken russian soldiers with shovels still running into open fields?
The aid bill is good news for Ukraine and the USA since 90% of the money for Ukraine in 2023 went to American companies to provide the weapons and support. This means US workers, making more US products, that go to help Ukraine win the war of Russian aggression. It's also fantastic to help US companies gear up to supply even more aid for the dollar as efficiency improves!

@@evilleader1991 O he was just being an asss. I see. would you like to know what I think of this channel?
I think that he is a news aggregator that provides insightful commentary on the topics he covers. He doesn't do active reporting and isn't giving any information you could not find without him. I don't think journalism was his goal. He just wants to talk about war and military equipment. What has happened over the course of this war was that the humanity became impossible to ignore. you can only see so many villages leveled so may civilians abducted and killed before you feel like action has to be taken. This is Pauls action. He is trying to give people information on this war. It is important that the world see what Russia has done and continues to do. This channel is a force for good. Educated people can see though propaganda both from other and there own government. People that can not think for themselves are worthless in a democracy and channels like this are a necessary thing in today's society.
The point of this channel was not news but news happened and now were here.
If they advanced more Paul will say they have overexteded their supply line. If they try to secure their flanks Paul will say they are stuck.

Russia struggles to take a town of 12,000 people and Nato is worried about being attacked? I do not understand.
They say Russia is running out of weapons yet they also say that Russia is a threat to nato. Doesn't make sense
NATO is no worried of anything but only Slavs continue to killing each other and don’t make a unity again as long as possible .
NATO was never worried about Russia. NATO would wreck Russia easily in an conventional warfare. The reason Russian struggles in Ukraine is because their military sucks and global military analysts have known this for years.
Because of the cost of defending that town of 12,000 people.
Both of those things can be true numbnuts, did you know that in time, Russia can make more?
Is this guy really a vet? When you take a lot of ground you have to build up defense lines. What a clown.

The next big goal in the region of Avdiivka is to reach Prokovsk, which is an important logistics hub.
The way from Orechetyne to Prokovsk is not a short one, but alone the possibility to endanger the logistics is not acceptable.
The AFU can't let that happen.
If Ukraine can get that ammo, Russia will never get there.
@@torehaaland6921
Yes, it's all about the ammo😂
@@thephoenix756 it is exactly what it is. Ammo and materiel. Russia has never accomplished anything, anywhere, in this war, unless Ukraine has had shortages.
@@torehaaland6921
That's an assessment born out of nothing but ignorance and hubris.
NATO clearly miscalculated; there was endless talk about how the Ukrainians were going to split the Russian forces through Crimea
NATO underestimated the defences that Russia contructed across the contact line
NATO did not properly prepare for attritional war, hence all this post facto talk about ammunition shortages
A far stronger case can be made that Ukraine only ever made advances when it enjoyed a manpower advantage against Russia; that Russia was only ever in trouble when it only committed what essentially amounted to an expeditionary force.
@@torehaaland6921
That's an 'assessment' born out of nothing but ignorance and hubris.
NATO clearly miscalculated; there was constant roseate talk in the West about Ukraine's prospects to split Russian forces through Crimea.
NATO underestimated the durability and extent of the defences that Russia constructed along the point of contact.
NATO did not properly prepare for a war of attrition, hence all this post facto talk about ammunition shortages.
A much stronger case can be made that Ukraine was only ever able to hold back the Russians or make advances when Ukraine had a clear manpower advantage...
..That Ukraine performed well when Russia only committed what essentially amounted to an expeditionary force. Ukraine has not been able to make advances once Russia matched or exceeded their manpower.
You're rambling Paul.
When the shells start to come in numbers for Ukraine, that Russian stretch will be under alot of pressure.
😂. Sure
Doubt. Aid will likely be destroyed before ever reaching the front.
And Russia will continue advancing and you won't have anything else to blame it on
A lot of silly Russian bots still believing Russia will achieve their original objectives.
The objectives are impossible and Russia will stop the war with a land grab whilst their economy is weakened for another 20 years
Ukraine will be in nato before 2030 so they will ultimately win
Ok😂

Thx paul for everthing you do 🫡🇳🇱🇺🇦🤙
WHY ARE WE STILL DOING BUSINESS WITH CHINA?!?!
Skibitskyi? Is that Ukrainian zoomer for Skibidi?
I have to point out the inconsistency in this video.
The previous videos about the fall of Orechetyne claimed that the Russians are making an easily exploitable operational mistake by advancing too deep into Ukrainian llines relying only on a thin piece of territory and a single road. That a successful Ukrainian counter-offensive could leave them cut-off...
Now that the Russians are focusing instead on securing their flanks by taking the villages and overrruning Ukrainian positions on their right flank instead of pushing past Orechetyne to avoid the ramifications of a Ukrainian counter-offensive, the Russians are also apparently making a mistake by not advancing more past Orechetyne...
Happy Easter to all my Slav brothers no matter what side you're on.
Copium is hitting hard right now, isn't it?
*You all realize that Russia has gained MORE ground in the last month than Ukraine gained during the entire 2023 "counteroffensive"*
