Remember don't donate to any global humanitarian companies such as red cross, amnesty international and whatnot.
They take a huge share of donations for their own needs and there are even times that no money makes it to the cause.
The actual first place to go is u24.gov.ua/ this is United24
It is a platform presented by president Zelensky.
Secondly you might choose some volunteers that are helping Ukraine in various areas.
prytulafoundation.org/en
Serhei Prytula foundation is one of the most known ones
Other well-known foundations are Army SOS and Come Back Alive

French Prez during Minsk Agreement 2 was François Hollande. Would have you preferred him to deliver the 2 Mistral-class LHDs to ruzzia as well as other stuff Putin wanted like... Rafale-M for his aircraft carrier or the FÉLIN which puts the sight of your riffle or machinegun into your helmet and/or on your chest while there is a thermal camera/scope on the riffle...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%89LIN
Instead, France became Ukraine 1st arms supplier until the full invasion started....Sorry, you have to be realistic : had Ukraine entered a full scale conflict against ruzzia in 2014 or 2015, they wouldn't have stood a single chance!
BTW, when Ukraine published a MoU for jet fighters in 2020 or 2021, only France was willing to sell combat aircraft to Ukraine...
Note that Poroshenko could have done something for the jet fighters as soon as 2014!
In 2021, Ukraine had an inventory of 55 MiG-29, 14 Su-24, 20 Su-25 an d 31 Su-27... 120 combat aircraft
So, what could have been done? Well... Russian jets are cheap to buy, but even more expensive to use than US ones...
Now, f Safran made low coast airlines possible thanks to its M56, better known as CFM56 since it's built by the Safran/General Electric joint venture "CFM", Rafale's M88 is in the same vein when it comes to jet fighters engines... And , even if French air force bought Rafales with 50kN dry thrust and 75kN afterburner, from the start, Safran made clear they could deliver with 100kN dry thrust and 115kN afterburner... moreover, it's the only jet engine allowing 6 daily missions, and even 10-11 per 24h in intensive use for 2 months... Most of jets do 2-3 sorties a day...
Then, this engine has only 70cm diameter and is rather light...
It takes 6 months to validate a new engine on a twin engines jet fighter...
Su-25 could have received two 50kN dry thrust M88, MiG-29 : 2x 100kN dry thrust (this is as much as the afterburner of the Mach3 MiG-25!!!), 2x 115kN for the Su-24 and the Su-27...
Then, the money spared on costs of use for the whole fleet would have paid for the flyaway cost of 6 Rafale squadrons by... 2021...
And the legacy Sukhoi+MiG jets could have been upgraded with the help of France an Israel which are doing such job for Indian one for many years...
So, Ukraine would have ended with a fleet of 228 combat aircraft, but, in terms of air war, you don't think into numbers of aircraft, you think in terms of numbers of sorties, and then, you have a fleet able to generate as much sorties per 24h as if you owned 900 well maintained "vanilla" MiGs/Sukhois... Note that India arms its MiGs/Sukhois with Israeli+French air-to-air missiles since 2020...
I dont really get why nobody thinks about doing this! Israel modified its Mirage-5s 'Nesher' into Kfir by adding canards and the GE J79 jet engine (used on the F-4 and F-104) and now IAI proposes these with the 98kN GE F414 used on the Super-Hornet and the Gripen-E, with the combat systems of their F-16I onboard, and they already added hardpoints on the Kfir that Mirage-5 never had... In fact, if the M88/100kN was mounted instead of the F414, with 20cm less diameter, and even 30cm less diameter than the J79, it'd allow to add an internal fuel tank of likely 1200-1500L.
Had Poroshenko proceeded this way...
Great article from the BBC. Surprised this wasn’t available in English, as it really needs to be circulated in western media.
Sounds like the UAF are in safe hands regardless of rumours.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Zaluzhnyi becomes President (with Zelenskyy’s blessing) in 12months. Zelenskyy is a great positive figure head for Ukraine, however he could be successfully targeted by ruSSians at any moment, or may simply become exhausted and want to step down. Zaluzhnyi’s forced departure could be succession planning, in case the worst was to happen.
@@AlphaChadGames Zelenskiy declared he's not into running for another office mandate. Ukraine's constitution suspends elections in war time.
This is amazing. A guy from the Russian military, trained in Moscow, is running the show in Ukraine. Reminiscent of the famous Finnish General Mannerheim who made his career in the Imperial Russian Army becoming a lieutenant general at the turn of the 1900's. Famous of course for leading the Finns in repelling the Russian invasion of the 1939 Winter War.
A lot of similarities in those wars with this one... Russia had 2-to-1 manpower superiority, yet Finland inflicted 5 times the losses, a 10-1 efficiency for Finland. And yet, Finland lost territory. Hopefully Ukraine can keep fighting longer to turn the tide and claim back what they've lost...
@@CellGames2006 Indeed, I have friends in Finland whose families came form the lost territories of Karelia. Sometimes I joke to them that perhaps now is a good time to claim the area back again!
@@CellGames2006 Ukraine is bigger than Finland and has more support than Finland had. While slow, I am confident will back Ukraine until victory. Europe is having a crisis where their post cold war world view has collapsed and we are trying to agree what on what is happening.
@@marcusberg2437it appears the cold war never ended for russia, China, North Korea. Western capitalists were enticed by trade money to pretend it was over.
@@CellGames2006 Finland fought on the Nazi side from 1942 to 44
Thank you, General Zaluzhny. Good luck, General Syrskyi. Keep fighting!
Both are heroes.
Heroyam Slava !!
Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava!
Very illuminating! Good to hear about him growing up in Kharkiv, and returning to Ukraine after military school in Moscow, and getting higher military training in Ukraine. No need to worry about Russian ties, which were suggested earlier.
Cometh the hour cometh the man.
Thanks for sharing this information about the new Commander in Chief. There were a lot of points that put my mind at rest about his appointment. Zaluzhny showed great leadership. I feel that Syrsky will do likewise.

@@paulx3827 🤞He's changed
Gen Syrsky looks like he could take you out with a glance, Gen Zaluzhny's hug could take you out.
That's kind of how I feel about Budanov's smile. 😊
Yes Budanov definitely has the thousand mile stare. 😅

@@1justme So called because he can spot you from a thousand miles.
Great video.
I've seen so many commentators repeating the 'Syrsky is an old style soviet officer' which I've been fighting against, as nobody could really point to evidence of that.
This article exposes a very different picture, he comes across more as a western style officer, which should be no suprise as he was heading the NATO integration effort before the 2022 Russian invasion.
Truth be told he doesn't come across much differently on a profession of arms level than Zaluzhny, he just comes across differently in his personal approach, and what he sees as immediate concerns (ie not just sitting in static defense and building up strength and resources).
Ultimate he seems to be just as smart and educated.
How he takles the next few months is going to be interesting to watch.
*taCkles!
Seems like as NATO integration specialist, he would become more and more useful as Ukraine's military integrates more with NATO... what would he do with the F-16?
@@CellGames2006
I tend to agree.
There has been so much made of Sursky having once served in the Soviet Red Army, but very little about him having been the head of NATO integrated, which I think changes the narrative quite a lot.
Awesome video 📹 my buds!!
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 to victory ✌️
In the battle for Bakhmut the Ukrainians tied the Wagner forces down in one place, decimating their forces. But it also led to some destabilization in Russia. A lot of regular russians were cheering for the attempted assault on Moscow, revealing that Putin did not have the support of the people and his regime was actually in danger. It may be a few more years before we see the full impact of that battle. If western allies had provided the promised equipment and munitions, Ukraine likely would have held Bakhmut. Thank you, Georgi, for sharing this today. It's good to learn more about General Syrskyi. Slava Ukraini.
No, Ukraine blundered in letting Russia take Soledar. Losing the tactical ground caused a set of dominoes falling and allowed them to surround Bakhmut. Then they never bothered to unblock the salient. And now they're doing the same with Avdiivka. Why does Ukraine like these pockets so much...?
@@CellGames2006 Because UA can improve large amounts of orcs in pockets like that.
FWIW I vote for this guy Syrsky. Sounds like a relentless cyber- honey badger.
If I were a Ukrainian soldier, ok I'm not sure what I'd think.
But if I were a Russian soldier...I would be very afraid.
Thank you, Georgijs!
I think Syrsky will be tough, cold calculating general, but he is no butcher. He has task and he allways calculates for most cost effective was to achieve it. Sutch thinking has place in military.
Thats the vibe im getting
Slava Ukraine, every morning I wake up safe and sound is gift from my brothers and sisters in Yellow and Blue!!
From the UK thank you and i will be supporting you financially as much as i can from now on!.
I agree ❤ 🇬🇧✊️🇺🇦
Rah Rah Rah! Oh, and look, only 40% of Ukrainians themselves "trust" Zelenskyy's brand new political puppet Syrsky. Oh and look, Aadvika is being abandoned...
Thanks for covering this.
Thank you for digging into this for us, Georgie. I appreciate that General Syrsky has such a complete understanding of Ruzzian military strategies and tactics, and that he’s undoubtedly embraced the integration with NATO logistics and technology. He knows he’s not driving a Lada (T-52,62,72,80), he’s driving a Mercedes Benz (Abrams, Bradley, Leopard 2’s), and he’s a happy chauffeur delivering freedom to Ukraine. Let’s be positive and continue to trust the armed forces of Ukraine 🇺🇦💙💙💛💛🔱🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
"Digging in" means "reading BBC propaganda verbatim" now, does it? Good Lord, how standards have been compromised! LOL
digging in means towing the western propaganda period. @@junkscience6397
Slava Ukraine!
Heroiam slava!
Marshal Mannerheim was educated and employed by Russian army....he game to Finland and conducted defense war against Stalin's army...Salute Syrsky!!!
Syrsky and Budanov.... quite a formidable pair... I will say the Generals are not necessarily there to make friends... they are there to win the war to preserve the integrity and sovereignty of the state they have sworn to protect.
No, first of all, they're there to protect their people, not integrity or territory.
"of the state they have sworn to protect." Did you miss that part of my comment? I am talking about the situation of Ukraine and the frontline, but of course I agree that the military of any country is primarily a defense force, which is why its called a 'defense force'. It is there to protect and defend its people, but in order to do that it has to do exactly what I was saying... so I stick to my words, I am sorry if you misunderstood or thought that I was somehow prioritising one thing over another.
with no territory people beocome stateless and such have very few rights. but you go ahead and think they don't care about that. you'll be alone thinking such@@darkfox-wr9bu
Georgie, kudos for presenting the BBC article in English. It shows that Lt General Syrsky remains tight-lipped because, he is confident that history will judge him by his accomplishments, not by his promises.
Pity Tucker Carlson wasn't on board.
Tucker who?
Tucker who?😂
Great presentation this evening Georgijs,very informative. Really appreciate you putting out this information.
Thank you! 🌻
I wanted some bio on this new commander, good job!
Thank you so much for this. Not that I was concerned about his appointment. War is not a popularity contest.
It's amazing this world of social media - 20 years ago there would be virtually nothing known about who was running the military, let alone what their bedtime reading was!!! Or is 'everthing' propaganda of one kind or another? Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦❤🇬🇧
Heroyam Slava !!
Thanks a lot for the video. It was very interesting and highly enlightening to say the least! I just hope and pray that my freaking government pulls their heads out and passes the bill for more aid and sooner than later. Prayers for all of the soldiers and people and Slava Ukraine!
Zaluzny is not fired, I'm sure his ability makes him too valuable to throw away. The new man will have different ideas, but Syrsky is a good man to replace him. Slava Ukraine!🌻
thanks for your explanations ❤
Thank you for the reading! I hope he will deliver, the expectations are high. Slava Ukraini! 🙏🇺🇦🌻
Heroyam Slava !!
Good to see an honest report on this general. He certainly seems capable. Plus he likes special forces so he must have an open mind to unusual solutions. I think this general doesn't disappoint.
Thanks for the video. You're right, other channels are covering the new ship sinking and the US issues. So it's good of you to take a look at Syrsky instead. There was a new Ramstein meeting today. Austin is not in Europe because he is too sick. He held a short press brief from the US, but he just repeated previous speeches. So if there was something new from Ramstein we don't know about it yet. Happy Valentine's Day. 💘💝💖
Thank you for taking the time to find, translate, and read this article. I appreciate that you provide a strategic perspective when your time is limited. I know I can see the ship sinking on 6 or 7 channels within the day but, getting this type of coverage is limited... and valuable! Cheers!
Slava Ukraini!
…Glory to All of the Heroes of Ukraine..Thanks Georgie…💙💛💙
Thank you for the excellent report on Syrsky. I apologize for the idiots in the US trying to blow everything up. This American supports Ukraine.
Georgie, thanks so much for sharing this article with us. This gives me so much more information with which to evaluate General Syrsky!

Thank You Georgie. It was both interesting and extremely important for us to get a deeper understanding of Alexander Syrsky. I feel greatly relieved. Hopefully Syrsky will work with the soldiers, material, and situations presented to the utmost advantage for Ukraine. That is all that we can ask of one man in his position.
Much better... can't argue with calculated moves. Great batch of info.
This was excellent! Thank you so much for reading this to us. So impressed with the new general!
My problem with a meticulously prepairing General is, that any plan, no matter how solid, never survives the first contact with the enemy.
When you are a pessimist you never win anything
I understand, but some planning is absolutely needed.
Thank you Georgijs for the information from the article ,👍👍👍👍Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 😊😊

Urge your Representative, Biden, and Hakeem Jeffries to REPLACE Speaker Mike Johnson with a sensible Republican.
Sorry to say this but it has absolutely nothing to do with Biden nor any Dems. It’s all on GQP! NO ONE else.
They haven’t done shite, since gotten into power. Only sham hearings and fake outrage. I.e. boarder, Ukraine, budget and so on. They are the party of chaos. NOT governing. And now they are taking a 2 week vacation. 😡
They ALL need to be FIRED ASAP!!!
Those seem thin on the ground nowadays. But I'm sure a few are still hanging around, mainly just keeping their heads down & out of the line of fire...
Doesn't work that way. By custom and House rules, the speaker is the political and parliamentary leader of the House and is simultaneously its presiding officer, de facto leader of the body's majority party, and the institution's administrative head. So it's on the GOP to replace him.
Or better yet a sensible Democrat, like Jeffries.
It’s not up to the democrats in Congresso. Unfortunately. The Republicans are in a very thin majority. I’m pretty sure that Democrats, will turn the table in November. But the time to help Ukraine, is now.
Thank you Georgijs 💙💛🇺🇦❤🙏🇺🇸🌻
Thanks Georgijs, I like it when you read to us, and your additional comments and explanations help a lot.
I am looking forward to the video in which you will tell us more about Syrsky's team. Thank you in advance! 💙💛

Syrsky must have studied the tactics of Australian General Sir John Monash from WW1. Monash invented timed, set piece battles using combined arms. Slava Ukraini
Monash is, or at least was in my day, pretty heavily studied in military education circles.
So it is highly likely that Syrsky has at least a passing familiarity, I'd argue if for no other reason than he is engaged in a war that has more than a few similarities.
Heroyam Slava !!

Great video Georgie, I learned alot about a man I did not know enough about, and should of delved more into his background because of the position he is now in. I feel more at ease with him at the helm now. I hope he is as good as the man who wrote the article says he is, because the men and women of Ukraine deserve to fight under someone whom they believe will bring them the victory. I'm only sad again about the fools that reside in Congress on the Republican side, the Maga fools to be more precise. Slava Ukraine...
Thanks so much for the translation and reading.
My father was in the service at senior command warfighting levels up until the early 70's so I can appreciate the nuances outlined in the article. In my discussions with him, after he retired, I learned that commanding theater-level combat operations isn't easy and often requires hard decisions that must send warfighters into harms way. That, unfortunately, is the way of war and the warfighters know it. It's the job of the commanders to make every possible effort to ensure that those warfighters have the equipment, training, supplies, combat support, and tactical awareness that will maximize their ability to be successful. But after the operation starts, the battlefield situation evolves as the enemy responds, often not the way you expected so the field commanders have to adapt as the initial plans crumble around the edges. In Western warfighting doctrine, this level of strategic guidance and tactical initiative flows down to area and tactical commanders who are trained to adapt, self-coordinate, and overcome. The philosophy extends down to the individual squads and ultimately the individual warfighter.
Well said ,your father deserves the thanks and respect of evey citizen whose freedom rides on the shoulders men like him
