    I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the eight-hundred-fifth day of the war.
    Day 805: May 08
    Today, there are a lot of updates from the Avdiivka direction.
    Here, Russians have paid a heavy toll in their attempts to cross the fields in front of Umanske.
    After breaking through the Ukrainian defenses in the north and taking control over the settlement of Ocheretyne, Russians have slowly diverted their offensive actions towards their objectives in the North. This change of direction confused many analysts, as Russians had initially focused on the Ukrainian defenses to the West. The ultimate Russian goal to the West is to take control over Pokrovsk, which serves as the main Ukrainian headquarters in this direction. However, if we look at the developments in the fields in front of Umanske, we can better understand how the Russians have been forced to deprioritize their ambitious goal of taking Pokrovsk.
    As you may remember, Russians had conducted a large wave of attacks in the fields between Umanske and Tonenke. Ultimately, these attacks failed due to a multitude of reasons. Firstly, if we look at the geography of the region, we can see that Russian attacks through these fields are funneled together by the rivers to the north and south. Additionally, the river branch stretching through the fields condenses the funnel even further. This forces any Russian attack to follow a predictable path, making them far more manageable for Ukrainian defenders, as they can open fire on them from multiple directions.
    Secondly, this direction was being defended by the Ukrainian 25th airborne brigade and the 53rd mechanized brigade. Both consist of experienced and well-equipped soldiers who are more than capable of fending off Russian attacks. A Ukrainian military blogger stated that Ukrainian defenders had established well-prepared positions, utilizing the terrain to draw Russian assault groups into kill zones before finishing them off with anti-tank mines, ATGMs, artillery, and FPV drones. The Ukrainian blogger also stated that Russian assault groups lacked tactics in their attempted breakthroughs, being unprepared to dynamically face the Ukrainian defense.
    After these failed assault waves, Ukrainian military bloggers shared satellite images showcasing the huge Russian losses in the fields in front of Tonenke. The military bloggers state that the fields in front of Tonenke had turned into a graveyard of Russian armored vehicles. The images show the disabled and destroyed wreaks of 77 Russian armored vehicles, to only 5 Ukrainian vehicles. The military bloggers also stated that the satellite images only show the most intense and concentrated clashes between Russian and Ukrainian units. Russian forces had also conducted numerous attacks with smaller assault groups consisting of one or two armored vehicles at a time. Adding these Russian losses to the total amounts to over 100 Russian losses in tanks and armored vehicles alone.
    After these failed initial attacks, a Russian officer stated that Russian forces would ultimately be able to overload the Ukrainian defenses if they only sent forward more waves of armored assaults. As it turns out, the Russian commanders followed his advice and immediately started a monthlong operation to cross the fields. A Ukrainian soldier active in the area stated that throughout this operation, Russians conducted constant artillery preparations on Ukrainian positions with artillery, multiple rocket launch systems, and air strikes with “fab” glide bombs and “kab” guided munitions.
    In response, Ukrainian drone operators undermined Russian close-fire support capabilities by targeting Russian mortar emplacements with FPV drones. Russian forces attempted to hide these emplacements in the settlement of Tonenke. Still, they were constantly spotted, as the intensity of fighting here had left the settlement in ruins, leaving little cover for the Russian mortar teams or infantry.
    Over the next two weeks, Russians continued their mechanized assaults through the fields. Ukrainian forces released a multitude of combat footage showing how they repelled or destroyed these Russian attacks with guided anti-tank missiles and FPV kamikaze drones. As the monthlong battle went on, and Russian armor losses kept mounting, Russian forces started decreasing the armored support of their infantry fighting in the fields. Ukrainian fighters in the area stated that Russians started using tanks more sparingly and from increasingly larger ranges as indirect fire platforms...

      Ukraine should be provided with an enough fighter aircraft to form airforce, such as F-16s and longer-range precision munitions, including ATACMS (more of them, and the longest-range versions should be sent to them]), and the russian military facilities inside of russian territory 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 understand that not only is aiding Ukraine the morally right thing to do, it is the practical thing to do also. America has spent something like approximately 6% of our military budget so far to aid Ukraine. However, more than half of the russian army has been destroyed. This is a tremendous bargain by any measure! In addition, when russia is defeated in this war, their barbaric ideology of imperialism will also be defeated, making Europe a much more peaceful and stable place for decades - as well as preventing a new arms race in the region. That is why billions of dollars spent today to aid Ukraine saves trillions of dollars tomorrow. The vast majority of Americans understand this fact. Americans also want Ukrainian military and civilian casualties minimized. This is why Americans are correct to support providing military aid to Ukraine.
      Please write to your elected representatives to request this military aid. If you are an American 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 promptly. The sooner America provides Ukraine the weapons it requires to liberate all of its territory, the sooner this war will be done, and with fewer Ukrainian casualties. Letters can be submitted electronically via the Whitehouse website. One can also conduct a google search 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.

      To help the "Reporting from Ukraine" youtube channel, this is what I suggest:
      Everyone should send feedback to CZcams - as I just did. In the upper right corner of your browser window, click on your account icon, then a drop-down menu appears. at the bottom of that menu it has a "send feedback option".
      Please clog youtube with thousands of feedbacks until they cease and undo deletion of Reporting from Ukraine.
      I see 39K views of the latest Reporting from Ukraine video. If each of those viewers sent ten feedbacks per day, that would be 390K feedbacks per day that youtube would get about this topic.
      Write something, then copy & paste it ten times per day into the feedback tab.

      It may have worked for two world wars, but they no longer have the population base to draw from to pull this kind of thing off for long. And worse, looking down the road, you can see a steep population decline and effectively a dying off of the country. Putin is killing off Russia itself, rather than admitting that he's in over his head.

      @@traumflug Be realistic. An AR drone isn't going to have the range or capacity for serious use. It'll have maybe a 30 round mag and 25 minutes of flight time. But unlike a grenade drone the AR drone will have to come pretty close to the target to be effective. Unlike the grenade drone which has the advantage of higher altitude. Meaning the enemy will have plenty of time to shoot it down as it's big and bulky.
      The US doesn't put guns on military drones because it's not worth risking the drone. Ukraine is better off sticking with grenade drones.

      Also, have you considered that being a fighter pilot is a highly specialised profession? I'm pretty sure that there aren't many opportunities in PMCs for them due to the cost of maintaining and fielding fighters. Even if they've gone into commercial piloting after retiring, they likely don't have the hours in the air or in military trainers to just jump into one and would need to get retrained anyway.
      Further, it's not pilots that Ukraine needs right now, but the planes themselves and the support crews to keep them in the air.

    I support RFU on Patreon! Your work is crucial to fight Russian lies and propaganda, that is why they attack over and over. CZcams needs to figure out how to defend their channels against these kinds of attacks. This is ultimately a problem they created with faulty methods of flagging. based on the kook idea that people on the internet are honest with no bad actors.

      This may be closer to the truth than Russian sites, but even as a Ukrainian supporter I recognise this channel as propaganda. Its far too peppy for the Ukrainians and gung-ho in reporting the Russians to be hopeless to be completely truthful. At best, it's a rosy version of the truth - if the tone of this site was true, the Russians would have lost the war long ago. Nonetheless, the site should not have issues with youtube as all sites like youtube have a certain element of propaganda in them.

    To help the "Reporting from Ukraine" youtube channel, this is what I suggest:
    Everyone should send feedback to CZcams - as I just did. In the upper right corner of your browser window, click on your account icon, then a drop-down menu appears. at the bottom of that menu it has a "send feedback option".
    Please clog youtube with thousands of feedbacks until they cease and undo deletion of Reporting from Ukraine.
    I see 39K views of the latest Reporting from Ukraine video. If each of those viewers sent ten feedbacks per day, that would be 390K feedbacks per day that youtube would get about this topic.
    Write something, then copy & paste it ten times per day into the feedback tab.

      ​@@traumflugDon't they have to have some form of recoil when you're in the air? Conservation of momentum, if the bullet goes this way, equal momentum goes the other way. If you let the air escape backwards the bullet wouldn't shoot as fast, so that momentum has to be going into the gun, which would go into the drone, which would send it backwards. On the ground friction helps a lot but in the air it's all physics.
