Interesting info for the Russian military intelligence.
Russian intelligence knows about these things long before DW news. They have extensive information gathering networks.
They already know. Many soldiers have surrendered to them.
They only scratch the surface.
Peace to Ukraine!
take putin to ur country and will be peace in Ukraine.

While Russia is simply considering deploying nuclear weapons into occupied Ukraine, but the important thing is that ON CZcams Ukraine is winning this war, right, Deutsche Welle?
Nope not right. Cause right now nobody is claiming they are winning.

?? improvised weapons?? wan't this attributed to RUAF? remember reports on 4th generation washing machines and 5th generation combat shovels?
The shovels have been transferred to Ukraine. But Ukraine don't know how to handle and use these handout.
Everything from toothstick to farm harvest vehicle could be use as a weapon. Agricultural hexa and octo copter drone is not an exception. Every war based on survival, so it has an evolution within itself.
Ukraine is winning and winning bigly on western media. Congratulations for your big win! Enjoy.
West help is also more on media.
We should help more.
Indeed, on western media...
@@markmd9 How would you suppose we do that? Boots on the ground?
We're already sending them weapons, ammo, and money. We're also training their troops and providing intelligence on the battlefield. What else is there?
@@NickCools2184Diplomacy! But unfortunately USA/UK are not willing and Germany nowadays is totally lost in this field...
@@NickCools2184 Ukraine is receiving old equipment in small amounts. Europe should send newer equipment and bigger amount.
Plus after 2 years the West found out that we are running out of ammunitions. While the ramp up of ammo production should have started in the first year when it was clear that this is a long term conflict.
Russia emptied its soviets era stocks and disarmed itself. It is normal if Europe will disarm itself too. Europe has no other enemies that may invade it except Russia.
While US stocks I would like to be saved for a potential conflict with China.
As long as the tools aren't Russian it should work.

Pretty sure the only reason they are able to do anything is because of western weapons and money.

Those are common civilian drones in China. for agricultural purposes. When you Westerners buy it, it becomes a murder weapon.😑
they should try with shovels and washing machines... it looks like it worked for the russians
They will pay for the creation of the rpg30
Hard to figure whether this is intended to A. encourage the Russians, B. Feed them misinformation. C. Inform the Western suppliers about the lack of sufficient drones in Ukraine, with the intention of getting them to supply more. Very confusing. Can't believe it is just a terrible blunder by D.W. in forming the Russians about Ukrainian operations. Or is it?

i truly wonder if the ukrainian soldiers believes in what he is saying or has been coached to say so.. more specifically, he was referring to "russian conscripts" and somehow that russia is a dictatorship even though they had their elections a couple of month ago. either way those on the "other side" or no conscripts.. its one of the best (if not the best) whether they are cubans (more specifically those stationed in Mozambique and Angola), gurkhas, chechens , russian VDV etc etc they are all truly great soldiers.

@@horoshkoaleksandr273 "Russia is literally spending at least ten times more than Ukraine on this war" - can't be true, after all russian economy is in tatters.
War is very expensive!
US spent in the war with relatively small Iraq $1.1 trillions and the active conflict lasted less than a month. Then another $2 trillions for later period of occupation.
($1.1 trillions in 2003,correction for inflation, is $1.8 trillions today)
While Russia is not Iraq and the conflict is still going for more than 2 years.

media has to understand that enemies are watching this as well , so I would advice to Not show this on platform like this , remember enemy watching and learning .
Journalist is very well dressed.
What is the situation at the moment?
The Ukrainian troops are far too few in number and are being worn down on the front lines, thereby losing more and more combat power.
Now Zelenskyy has passed the law far too late, which could potentially lead to more conscription.
There are now two possibilities.
Either the newly drafted troops are given a crash course for a few days and sent to the front lines as cannon fodder. This would relieve the strain on the worn-out troops, but would lead to high losses for the poorly trained new troops.
Or the newly drafted troops are properly trained in the hinterland for months.
This means that the worn-out troops have to fight on the front lines for even longer, thereby becoming even more worn down.
So things are not looking good for Ukraine because it was not able to mobilize enough people in time to defend the country.
And the question is how motivated the new conscripts are, who have had to do without for two years.
There really is no point in continuing this war.
We can all be supporters of Ukraine. For example, by donating to United24 which funds important drone programmes.
