"The Russian attack at Ocheretyne has been crushed". Then he immediately talks about an impending Ukrainian withdrawal near Ocheretyne. Ukraine needs people to wake up to how dangerous the situation is, so they can start pressuring their leaders to send more weapons. Cope does nothing but help the Russians.
This guy is delusional, watch history legends instead. He is brainwashed usa former marine, his brain can't comprehend reality anymore...
Look at the map of Deep State, the village of Ocheretino is completely captured by Russian troops. There is not a single intact building left in Ocheretino. Zelensky's government “forgot” to build defense lines. The last stronghold since 2014 was Avdeevka. Instead, Zelensky and his henchmen want to send as many people as possible to slaughter. You won’t believe it, but they are still making landings on the Dnieper islands. The senseless murder of Ukrainian soldiers.
Arkhanhelske is on the left side of the River. The right side has slightly higher ground.
So get on the other side of the river with the rest of your forces are. Don't stick out like a thumb when you know that the Russians are going to be consolidating & organizing their major lines and supplementals.
The Russians are giving away big signs that they plan to resume the frontal push this Summer, so they're going to try to cross this River anyway.
ahaha this guy keep deleting my comments...what a waste of a delusional guy...stop misinforming people and stop deleting comments that are not biased towards Ukraine.
God bles russian
The problem with Ocheretyne, and the nature of probing attacks in general I guess, is they didn't really have a plan in that direction - they just took advantage of an opportunity gifted them with no real idea of the end game for the assault and it's just kinda fizzled out without them really gaining anything of note. Just increased their vulnerability in the area.
The rumoured Kharkiv and Sumy offensive is more bluff to drag UA forces into the area and away from the active front line - even the most optimistic of Russian supporters would surely concede that taking Kharkiv is waaaay beyond them at this time.
I thought orechetyne was crushed
I'm confused. Man says the Russian attack in Ochetyne has been crushed, but then shows a map where it's now occupied by Russians? Or is there more than one Ochetyne, and we are being shown the wrong section of the map?
The Ukrainians killed two million Russians in ocheretyne, then walked out of it due to the smell of rotting bodies. To defend "better" territory.
Moreover, it was taken a week ago. Not even close to crushed. Fake news.
No its the same Ocheretyne, Paul has done that one or two times over the past week about that haha.
Yea its vary poor wording. Its ok to be pro Ukraine he should say it was taken at a huge loss and defended well. Or
@@jaysinck6129 Abandoned without a fight = defended well
They want Kharkiv bad. They have to reduce their prep position in Russia pronto.
They want it for the May 9
Kharkiv will be a one way deployment for at least 100k ruskys, it's 3 times bigger than Bahmut, where the ruskys lost 60k in the attrition fight alone, the population pyramid will look worse than after WWII
@@weiserwolf580 all of what u said is true but the Russian have shown and are showing they are willing to do just that
they have a much larger advantage rn in personell and mosty ammunution, shells and other weapons and tech than they had during the Bakhmut battle
they have also perfected the use of the huge FAB bombs which would make their lives easier than it was in Bakhmut but yes they will lose many men..they don't care.
@weiserwolf580 the rus lost over 3 million fighters during ww2... unless this war last a decade which it won't were in the last year of the war this will be done by 2026
i don't think its realistic for Russia to take or even attempt to take kharkiv they simply don't have enough manpower for it kharkik is a city of 1.5 million people
Thank you for the reporting
Enjoying the two per days!
Thx

Thanks man from Ottawa Canada
Thanks for your hard and excellent work Paul!
Anyone seen civdiv post anywhere in the last few days?
This might be pretty obvious but Russia in recent times has really focused on completely bypassing major Ukrainian positions in an attempt to encircle their positions.
This makes me think Russia will do the same thing with Kharkiv
However the Ukranians are aware of this and built extensive fortifications in the event the Russians try something.
@@planderlinde1969 Hopefully they have. And plus the surrounding areas of Kharkiv look to have lots of hills which would play into Ukraine’s favour.
@@standi_0439 kharkiv is close to the border of Russia i don't see where or how would they bypass the city only possible option of kharkiv being cut off or encircled would be if all of Donbas and Donetsk fell which i don't see happening in near future
Situation now looks like Operation Baration, maybe the Khavkov offensive is just a distraction for another weakpoint to established beachhead to Dniper river so Russia forces can threatern directly all supply line with quick raid
Kharkiv isn't something that can be just bypassed like nothing. Pluss this is an area that would be very difficult for the russians to advance trough against a prepared defender. No matter what they do, the russians will face spectacular losses if they try to take kharkiv. Not that I would be surprised if they actually try. But they are unlikely to succeed, and will pay a heavy price before they learn their lesson.

Yes, Russians are amassing near Chasiv yar, Kharkiv, and Kupiansk. Huge battles are about to take place soon
Sergueï
Well then they screwed up. If they want to win then they need to pick a lane and pour all their resources into taking it. Splitting their forces into three will just mean getting repealed in three places. I mean hopefully Russia ignores this advice since I want Ukraine to win, but still it seems obvious that it's a strategic mistake.
@@Gwyrddu It’s actually the complete opposite, if Russia just focuses all on one front and is close to a breakthrough, Ukraine will just re-reroute more reinforcements to that one lane. If Russia focus on more than 3 fronts then it will be very overwhelming for Ukraine as they will be attacked from several directions with a mighty Russian fist and it will be extremely difficulty to hold. There is no doubt that Russians are adapting and learning, they are trying explore ways to break the deadlock
@@thiefsleef6752 But that's the exact strategy that Ukraine used in their counter-offensive last year and it produced less than impressive results. What you are failing to take into account is both passive defenses and that Russia has to strongly outnumber and have more material to succeed on the offensive. They can do it if they hit Ukraine with everything at one spot, but they can't do this at three spots at the same time. Ukraine has better intelligence and will just divide their resources equally to address each threat.
@@Gwyrddu Yes, Ukraine used the exact same strategy as Russia, but their failure came from the lack of abundant resources to carry on. Although the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles Ukraine was utilizing were modern and expensive, that also meant that they were limited. The increasing losses of the leopard tanks and Bradleys, which were easily destroyed by mobility kills, made it clear that Ukraine was unable to continue its counteroffensive. But for Russia, a literal war machine, can continue to grind through because of how cheap their army is. In a long-term war, a cheap army will outlast an expensive army.
Nice work Paul, not sure what you said but it really pissed off the Russian trolls...😅😅😅
Its always a question about Weather and Supply lines on that part of the Rock.
Russia is at 23 villages this year
We live in a universe where "rotation of troops" and "operational pause" called a "crushed attack"
Well looking on the map how little they gained at such a high cost I'd say at the least the attack was defended effectively
@@T57Custodian You also have to take into consideration that Russia got more soldiers and more equipment that they can afford to lose, so a trade 1 to 1 is a loss for Ukraine. Its only a loss when its 3 to 1 loss and even when Wagner send their penal squads according to the leaked documents it was 1 to 2.0 (lower estimations) vs 1 to 2.5 (higher estimations).
@@Puma-ph5ep well if you look at the war as a whole its a miniscule distance for however many. Ukraine is spending penny's to deal with a fully funded army.
Also russia has lost around 3000 tanks...
Not including apc arty and so on. That is INSANE. And due to the design of the t90 and down the crews rarely survive.
So they have lost most of their experienced crews and they use missles worth 200k+ to take out like 10 Ukrainians.
Everything russia does will be a loss as everything ukriane uses is old or easy to replace.
Basically the way I see it russia has spent atleast 50% of their vehicles. And well over 500k troops.
Embarrassing themself on the world stage,
Showed their equipment is sub par
And that they lied about their capabilities.
And for that it's not enough Land.
They have truly F Ed themselfs
@T57Custodian the war will be like the Iran Iraq war where both sides will be destroyed and every meter fought for. This war already got both sides army decimated and experiences guys replaced by mobilised. Stop seeing it from one side.
People only look at the numbers of their enemy sides and make conclusions based on that.
Then there is also a part that only numbers are shared by a side that benefits them and allies pick on om that. That's why the leaked numbers were so important since it wasn't supposed to be shown.
The most neutral sources on this war are people who share numbers and news that make them looked by Russian and Ukranian special services. Good luck finding that.
@T57Custodian even the 500k troops is questionable. There is a wikia where all the numbers shared by western and non western are shared. If we look only at the killed the estimations are between 150k /180k (franch vs Russian) with the only estimations we got by yhe us of 70k that is from 18 August 2023.
If we add casualties with it it's around 200k (US source from 18 august) vs 409k which is again the 2 to 1 ratio but probably more around the 1.7 to 1 ratio since the Ukranian numbers are old.
big respect for you sir
Big things can be seen from a distance: Today is the inauguration of President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, taking office is not just a ceremony, this is the most important constitutional procedure. Its main meaning is the oath that the head of state takes to the people.
During his service as President of Russia, Putin proved his devotion to Russia by deeds and formed a high standard for the work of the head of state for many decades to come. Russia, under President Putin, has gone through a difficult path of revival and development, becoming today a strong, sovereign state that is respected throughout the world.
But it was not always so?
After the collapse of the USSR and the irresponsible actions of politicians in the 90s, devastation and economic decline reigned, people were abandoned, social obligations to citizens were not fulfilled, and there was a war in the Caucasus. The Russians could have lost the Russian Federation, but president Putin saved the country. He revived it, restored state capacity, and ensured social and economic development. President Putin is Russia's advantage.
The consolidation of society around the Russian President will continue to lead the country to new victories.
You'll find a more receptive audience in Yelnya.
So, why are they running?
Let me understand this correctly Ukraine ( by their count) has lost 31,000 soldiers while Russia ( again using Ukrainian figures) is estimated to have lost between 300,000 -500,000 soldiers Yet it is Ukraine that is RETREATING on every front and is the country
1: That is facing manpower and ammunition shortages
2: Pulls it's BEST armored divisions from the Front
3: is EVACUATING It's 2nd LARGEST CITY....................... KHARKIV
So what are the ingredients of Strikegum ???
Lmfao😂 retreating on every front. Hahahaha 😂 third year of the war and you ran from Kiev, Kharkiv, Kherson and so on but you’re winning. Babahahaha
I noticed a certain trend in the numbers that Kyiv constantly gives. It seems that when they say that the Russians lost 500 thousand, and Kyiv only 30 thousand, then they are telling the truth, but it’s the other way around, it was Kyiv that lost 500, and the Russians perhaps 30
@@Lepocoloco But wasn't it that thinking which lead to 2023 "counter-offensive" which EVERY analyst has said was a FAILURE
@@user-yj1on3bf1v Probably both lost about 100k
We had 2 bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, 5 sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.
Paul never gave the benefit to Russia of flexible defense

Get this guy a shovel. Pun intended
💙 two videos?!? You’re spoiling the channel… thanks for your insights.
Russian troops entered the outskirts of Novopokrovsky in the Avdeyevka direction. Russian troops advanced in the whole Novopokrovsky area, write Ukrainian analytical resources. Russian advancement is also reported in Netaylovo and south of Pervomaisky. The high pace of hostilities continues in the area of Kislovka and Krakhmalny in the Kupyansky direction.
Well that's just sad. Just a couple months ago, you folks were saying that Avdiivka is a small, inconsequential village and Russia wouldn't bother with it. Then when Ukraine beat them bloody for it, you folks treated Avdiivka as a turning point, as though gaining the bombed out ruins of a village was a great strategic victory. And then the same thing was repeated Ocheretyne. "Oh it's a pointless village. Russia just wanted Ukraine to waste its ammo, they don't need it", then then it was captured, and suddenly Ocheretyne was yet another 'great victory for Russia'. And again the same lines with Bohdanivka, as though Chasiv Yar was Kyiv itself.
And by the June peace conference, I wonder how that will sound when Putin tries to sue for peace, losing 400k Russian souls, the loss of dignity for Russian military might as countries cancel their orders for Russian munitions, and Russia gains two new oblasts that are severly depleted, and putting a NATO state right next to its border, the thing they were trying to prevent in the first place.
But don't worry about that. Revel in the victory at Bohdanivka. Tell yourself that Russian citizens are not afraid. For they are not. They are seething. Furious that Russia has been bled dry for nothing.
All in time for their next war with Tajikistan...

Thanks, Paul.
Yes they gain ground, ground bombed out cities and towns,grinded into dust, and covered with thier dead,and destroyed vehicles, not much of a win if you ask me
The one thing we learn from the battle of recent is, the ability of Ukraine Armed Forces to respond quickly and recover from mishaps due to miscommunication. This is the true strength of Ukraine.
They lose something daily, what did they respond to?
It turns out that you did not escape from Afghanistan - you had such a " flexible defensive strategy " !🤣🤣🤣
3 months 😂 troll
I have been predicting a new front being opened eventually either coming out of Belarus threatening Kiev and Lviv, or if Belarus balks at their country being used a second time, a new front coming from the Belarus/Russia border area threatening Kiev and Kharkiv since the fall of last year looking towards this summer. The reason is fairly simple. It has the highest upside for Russia. It lengthens the front. Any lengthening of the front benefits them. Threatening Kiev is optimal because it will divert the dwindling supplies and manpower even further. Lviv has been the supply hub. Russia is boosting numbers and has shown very little concern for casualties thus far. They are all in. If Ukraine shifts to protect the north, the Russians will use what they have in the east to further gain ground. Spreading Ukraine gives them the numerical advantage they already hold but makes the Ukrainian forces even thinner wherever they choose to attack. The defense holds the advantage for casualties; however, the offensive side chooses where to fight. Ukraine cannot mount any real offensives, so they are forced to react to each push. Any repositioning will be monitored, and that area that is shifting troops will be targeted.
The optimal plan is launching through Belarus for many advantageous reasons, but I do not think Belarus will want to risk strikes on its territory to combat Russian staging areas, roads, bridges, and rails they will need to use. Either way, it is so obvious that I hope Ukraine has spent the entire last year preparing defenses already for it. The Ukrainian allies will have to allow the use of the most advanced long-range weapons and anti-air to make sure they negate the Russian air assets and strike them wherever they gather forces in preparation. They will have to hit them before contact at all costs to negate those advantages. That requires the will of the west (Ukraine has shown they have it in spades), and the signals so far have been really poor from western leaders.
Thank you for this report. Slava Ukraini

What in the NAFO is this propaganda?

it's a cope echo chamber
let him sell his bubblegum, cmon xD
So, several videos ago, Paul the tool said Ukraine was pushing Ukraine out of ochiratino and now is say Russia is crushed but Russia has dug in. These lies and propaganda is failing in the face of truth….🙄😂😂😂
Your celebration of $61billuon was fir nothing, as I said. All it’s fine is prolong Ukraine pain and suffering
Negotiate and save what’s left of Ukraine and it’s people.
Yes they should negotiate just like Russia did with nazi Germany in 1939. Divided Poland and killed a few hundred thousand people.
Paul doesn't understand how the conscription works. Some troops are given very basic training and sent to the front. The majority are taken and given months of specialized training for trench assualts, tank operations, etc... they show up in mass for proper rotations of troops and to launch operations. There are hundreds of thousands of troops training all the time. Just wait a little while longer because it's going to get really messy. Of course Paul is usually running off a script if you haven't noticed 🤣
I worry the Russian attack in the north will focus on Bohodukhiv or Okhtyrka rather than Kharkiv directly, both towns would begin to surround Kharkiv long term goal, but are likely less defended.
Both also serve to pressure Kyiv and begin the surround of Sumy as an alternate.
We have heard dozens of times about the massive build of Russian troops on x or y axis for all of it to come to absolutely nothing before. Unless Russia has found an extra million men to march in one direction against Ukraine, they're not making any substantial progress. This is the absolute best they can do and that success is all to do with the supply shortage that Ukraine HAD to deal with but now no longer does.
z-troops income. 70% will die the same day as they arived i guess
No all talk of build up is to force Ukraine to redeploy its dwindling reserves to cause an opening fir Russia elsewhere 🙄🙄🙄
Your a tool like Paul…ignorant
They have been amassing foreign troops for awhile, as well as doing mass promoting their “amazing gains” that they are making and so currently the recruitment is up. It will end up a problem. But with all the new packages UA is receiving lately, and all the current talks of additional ones, they are also having a surge in finding more men, and people coming back to fight. The problem is though Russia still has an additional like 10-20 million men they could mobilize if the people allowed them too, Ukraine is down already to its last few million possible/active men. The longer this war goes on, no matter how many weapons Ukraine receives the worse it will get. Thats why need an emergency coalition fund between NATO and the EU to form an additional $250b package, including hundreds of jets, and dozens of top tier AA systems, and everything proven to be the most effective in this war. While also tightening restraints against RU and there trading partners. If Ukraine doesn’t get additional massive additional weapon packages before 2025, including at least 100 F16s, then in reality the only hope will be RU collapsing. Which may take longer than everyone wanted it to. As they can realistically stay afloat preforming these kind if operations for about another 5 years. UA sadly cannot.

why would russians be coping when they're capturing settlement after settlement and even opening up a new offensive? like wow, it's incredible how out of the loop you are
Is this channel just copium?
Yes LOL, these critics think they know everything
Pure copium
yes, pure copium!
Ukraine is losing badly and doesn't have the resources to sustain the fight forever. fake sanctions (the West still buy Russian crude indirectly and knowingly) have done little to hurt the Russian economy while the Russian war machine is in full swing means the economy is actually on the rise. that can happen in a totalitarian state like Russia whereas the civilians are being forced to work non stop for no pay or very little pay for the Russian war machine
on the battlefield, Russia is out producing the entire West 3 fold in artilerry shells and that's with Western production at full capacity. yes, some Westen countries have begun to increase that capacity (for their own sakes,) but it will take a few years at best to ramp up production in any meaninful way and Ukraine will fall long before that
moreover, the tactics that were lastly used in Avdiivka (and many other places before) , spefically those involving the huge FAB glide bombs are something Ukraine and the West have no counter for. Russia has added even bigger bombs to it's arsenal and those 1 ton glide bombs into a defensive position means the end of that defensive position
unless Ukraine somehow manages to down the bombing aircrafts, the Russians can just rinse and repeat that tactic. they will start in the new front they are a-massing forces for in the attempt to take Kharhiv. it will be a summer offensive that will start probably sometime in May but certaiinly no later than June. just llike Ukraine's failed summer counteroffensive of last year - the Summer is best and most viable time for offensive operations in the region
the Russian summer offensive will be very successful and will achieve many gains
i'm not pro Russian by any means! the Russians are committing the worst kinds of atrocities imaginable (just like Hamas in Gaza) but this is the reality and this channel is def pure copium
with an advatange in resources, 5 or 10 to 1 in Artilerry, air superiority and those horrible glide bombs - there is no feasible way for Ukraine to win and they WILL be defeated
this channel acts as if none of the things I just stated are true, even tho they all certainly are
it has also provided an extremely bad analysis of the Israeli-Arab conflict, an analysis that shows the esteemed vet is lacking a basic understanding of the Middle East and it's reality.
@vale
Funny how the real cope heads like you, crying and need to post lol….cant even point out what is incorrect that this army vet is. Everyone knows who’s coping. Russia is struggling with Ukraine , lost the battle of Kiev, Russia is a super power? Lmao.
Copium is also ignoring.How many Russians are dying per day BTW. Darn kids.
russia's militairy logistics rely entirely on railways, opening a new front might work for them initially, but the further they push into ukraine, the more difficulties they're gonna face. especially now with the U.S aid package and F-16's arriving in the near future. opening a new front is an incredibly daring move that'll bite them in the ass later.
Russia no longer uses the Crimean Bridge to supply troops in Ukraine writes the British publication The Independent: According to the publication, satellite images show that Moscow has switched to using land routes in the east and south of Ukraine under its control to supply its front lines after repeated attacks on the Kerch Bridge.
“Analysis of satellite images shows that the bridge, which Russia built after annexing Crimea in 2014, has almost no military cargo traffic and therefore may no longer represent a significant military target for the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the article says.
its still hugely symbolic though
Doesn't mean Ukraine won't drop it.
In strategic terms this recent & apparently quite noticeable inactivity across the bridge is Russia attempting to shrink the target by obviously indicating its lowered importance as an asset to themselves, which by logic should decrease its importance to Ukrainian military planners.
But it's a legacy asset. Ukraine won't ignore it. In fact, they can't ignore it. They know Western donors like me will whip out our checkbooks when we see video of spans of it dropping into the Strait.
France and other friends should station troops at those northern borders as policemen. Any attack by RU in those directions would be an attack on NATO
Nope, the article 5 only applied to the territory of NATO member. So France need to annex Ukraine first.
Why should any country send troops to Ukraine ............................. And NATO has no obligation at all as Ukraine isn't a member
Won't be long before Ivan is trying to cross no man's land with horse-drawn carts.

you are seething with cope bud, this is hilarious.
Press the button on the right of the calendar
Its to combat further advances of Ukrainians against the Russian offensive. The Russians dragged in its reserves and stopped its offensive to build up a defensive front against further advances into the southern pocket.
-counts on fingers- how many months was it since Wagner got sent to belgorod for “training” they may be ready on that north.
i don't think attacking the northern front would be wise. Ukraine had a lot of time to prepare, plus the terrain in the north is horrible for the attacking army, coupled with huge urban centers which would take hundreds of thousands of soldiers capture for Kiev i don't think even this will be enough, therefor i don't think we will see renewal of the northern front

Don't forget that Russia's logistics 'juggernaut' is stretched a lot longer and way more exposed as they advance west.
Really? Compared to whom?
Ukrainian logistics start from factories in USA, while their repair centers are in Poland. So yeah, compared to whom?
@@yellowtunes2756 Can Russia strike factories in the USA or Polish Infrastructure? No.
But Ukraine can strike Russian Infrastracture. So its a poor comparison from your side.
@@bartolino980 but we were talking about stretched logistics. For Ukraine to receive some spare parts - they need to be delivered across the Ocean and across Europe

As much as i disageee with you on russia. I do agree about kharkiv. It will ber very difficult to take that city. Theu will need at least 150,000 to 200,000 soldiers to take that city. Very difficult urban fighting.
He's been warned he'll be stopped.
Is the Russian loss worth the gain strategically speaking? I can't see it
When are Ukraine getting the F16?
Im no expert but everyone is saying Russia is taking more and more land every day and that Ukraine doesn't have enough soldiers or arms to fight .
There is plenty of videos showing towns being taken and plenty of soldiers from the Ukraine admitting they don't have enough soldiers or weapons and have to constantly retreat
Hahahah zirsky, the man that defended Bajmut till last man now called defense in deep (what you say dinamic defense)
"Fixable Defence Strategy" is the new term for retreat, now? The mental gymnastics from this channel is hilarious
If Ukraine isn't creating an in-depth minefield backed by strong defensive fortifications along its northern border, it will deserve whatever it gets. Russians showed last summer how difficult it is to advance through dense minefields.
nope, they couldnt and they cant ,the gov is too corrupted, most of the money went to ministers and general pockets, they are lost atp
There was no miss communication . Russia is pounding Ukraine .
Ukraine can barely keep their positions and have to withdraw . Once the lines collapse its over .
Little by little then all at once
LOL. That's hilarious.
They've been saying that since the beginning
Why aren't you in Russia helping them then?
Dream...
Russia might go for Chernihiv instead of Kharkiv. Much smaller city and, therefore, more attainable. Also would put Kyiv in crosshairs again.
One thing though that area is heavily wooded and any major advancement would be along the highways. We would basically see a repeat of the early days of the war with Russian convoys being heavily ambushed along the way.
They got their arse's kicked there last time.
The front wasn't active there. Ukrainians have had plenty of time to build fortifications. Russia should still try though and see how it goes 🙃
@@cyruslupercal9493 Hell the Ukranians prevented the Russians from taking the city without major fortifications back in 2022. A new attack given the current state of the Russian military would be a suicide mission.

You sound like a salty rusbot that's coping hard. He's not denying that Russia is advancing -- he's just pointing out that they're advancing slowly with high casualties. Multiple sources have agreed Russia is losing 100k soldiers for each 0.1% of Ukraine they've taken in the past year. You can't win a war like that.
You’ll need more emojis than that but you have a nice arsenal started. Here’s one for you = 🤤
Someone calculated the amount of Russian casualties per sq mile of ground won : over 500 kia and wounded. I wonder how much are they willing to accept. Now almost 500 k in 2 and 1/3 years.
Casualties and KIA are not the same. Maybe 500K casualties, but only 50K KIA according to some sources.
I got 150k kia via French resources with 500k 200/300
Such a waste of those poor young Russians did their families even know what their sons fighting for?
@@Heinz4455 if your understanding of their motives was not superficial, you would understand that it is not waste, even if absurd numbers you are parroting were true. Try to remember wich side has infinite and countles-garveyards, and wich side does not.
source: trust me bra
meanwhile ukraine's lowering conscription age from 27 to 25 and Zrlensky is doing anything he can to recall ukrainians from abroad to fill in the ranks, all of that over _only_ 31,000 casualties
Concerning Kharkiv I think you didn't manage to comprehend the scale of forces needed. Back 80 years ago, in WW2, Kharkiv changed hands several times. The scales of these battles was something along million soldiers, thousand thanks, thousands artillery pieces. With hundreds thousands casualties, if not millions. Today Kharkiv is bigger than 80 years ago, moreover there is deep elaborate underground metro network, so even nukes won't help much. Can you imagen storming metro underground? I think russians need at least 10 million (yes, millions, at minimum), ten thouthand tanks and still, it will take dacades. I think without nukes, they'll probably fail anyway.
come on, next time just dont write a comment that this stupid.
As if Ukraine hasn't been preparing for Belarus for years or the northern front and preparing for it. Russia failed with their best well equipped troops on the first day Slava Ukraini
What do you mean by failure? in the first 2 months there were constant negotiations and the Ukrainians constantly lied when they said that they were ready to end the war. And the Russians have always been able and can destroy Kyiv or Kharkov in a few days.
You just know the US had most of their arms already in Europe or at the ready in the US military airports for transport once the congress gave approval. Any large Russian attack at this stage would be met with a massive counter.
Not without manpower.
Hey Paul just giving you a word of thanks for your continued coverage. I'm not much of a cheerleader for military aggression, but this one seems like a no brainer. Ukraine needs all the help we (USA) can give them, and more... Has anyone contributed Strike Gum to their cause? Keep up the good work
Just a little more context here. Avdiivka cost Russia 50-60,000 troops and thousands of pieces of artillery for a small town of 29km2. Just the city of Kharkiv (not the entire oblast) is 350km2 and a sprawling metropolis. Kharkiv oblast is 31,000km2. Russia has been unable to take Ukraine's tiny bridgehead in Krynkii which has little more than 300-500 Ukrainian troops. For even more context.... the last 100 days Russia has lost 94,000 KIA/WIA, 11,000 tanks/IFV/APC/Vehicles, so if Russia is stupid enough to devote 50,000 , even 100,000 men to its Kharkiv effort, then they're in for rude awakening.
The Russian attack in Ocheretyne has been crushed? WTF are you taking about? 😂
Isn't it beautiful, all this freedom & democracy that we, the Collective West have brought to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukrainistan & Gaza? Isn't it lovely to spread all this freedom, prosperity and democracy?
Ukraine is so emocratic, they don't even need elections. Just another iteration of colonialism, with management set by the "crown".
That's why we need to vote Trump and put an end to this "freedom, prosperity and democracy" nonsense. It's what Daddy Vlad would want.
French Foreign Legion fighters have arrived in Ukraine... there will be probably close to 15000 of them by the end of the month in Ukraine and they will make a differance
stop smoking that Russian gas it's not good for you mental health
TVP says 1500, not 15 k. Every bit helps though
Source?
This is a blatant lie. Macron will never send his soldiers to slaughter, under artillery fire. Do you remember the famous French slogan of WWII period "Pourquoi mourir pour Dantzig?" Nothing has changed since then
So nearly twice as many legionnaires as actually exist then? That'll help.
Kharkov has hardly got much infrastructure left to support the population.
Russian is like the imperial guard of the imperium in 40k seems to now have the attitude if we can't have it, no-one will have it.
They grind forward slowly just turn everything into rubble from afar all the while rotation troops and gaining urban warfare experience.
Don't be suprised of a few small battlefield nukes being thrown at nato staging areas in Poland either.
Nato are paying with fire continuing the war and getting directly involved.
Forces from Russia’s ‘Western’ group seized the village of Kotlyarovka in the north of Ukraine’s Kharkov Region. The settlement is around 25km east of Kupyansk, described as a key Ukrainian logistics hub, the capture of which would allow Russia to advance directly on the city of Kharkov or support further operations in Donbass. Also, Russian Forces took control of the Donbass village of Solovyovo, around 40km northwest of Donetsk. Solovyovo is near the key supply hub of Ocheretino, a village captured by Russia on Sunday.
Russian missiles continue pounding Ukrainian military and industrial facilities that support the operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the frontlines. In particular, on the night of May 6, a series of Russian strikes were recorded on the border Sumy and Kharkiv regions. Explosions also thundered in the Dnepropetrovsk region and the western areas of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
Ukrainian authorities confirmed damage to some energy facilities in Sumy. As a result of the attack, the Ukrainian military could no longer transfer military equipment by electric locomotives via the railways to the war-torn regions.
The constant Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities put severe pressure on the heavily damaged energy system of the entire country.
At the same time, aircraft of the Russian tactical aviation are pounding Ukrainian military positions near the frontlines, assuring the further advance of the Russian troops in different directions. Damage to the Ukrainian rear assures the rapid Russian advance on the battlefield.
On May 5, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed full control of one of the main strongholds on the northern flank in the Avdeevka direction, the town of Ocheretino. Moreover, the Russian flag is already waving over the village of Arkhangelskoe located nearby. The town of Novokalinovo is also under Russian control, despite Ukrainian attempts to counterattack. Russian forces are expanding their zone of control to the south, battles have already approached the outskirts of Novopokrovskoe.
The Ukrainian military is trying to determine the direction of a further Russian advance. The town of Pokrovsk to the west was turned into a fortress and large forces continue reinforcing the defense. The Russian army may continue offensive operations towards the village of Nova Poltavka to the north in order to cut the road between Pokrovsk and Kostyantinovka. In the case of success, large Ukrainian forces deployed in the area of New York risk being surrounded from three directions.
The rapid development of the Russian offensive from Ocheretino deprives the Ukrainian army of the opportunity to build a long-term defense and forces it to constantly counterattack with insufficient forces, losing their precious reserves. The Ukrainian military is trying to gain new footholds under Russian fire in positions inconvenient for defense.
The Ukrainian State Border Guard has reported capturing a man dressed in women’s clothes as he tried to illegally cross into Romania, according to a statement and video published on the service’s website on Monday.
The guard stated that the 44-year-old man, who is a resident of the city of Zolotonosha, presented his sister’s passport at a checkpoint in Transcarpathia Region while wearing a skirt, an “unpretentious fashion bow, makeup and a wig.”
However, his disguise was immediately blown when he approached the border control, according to the guards who mockingly called him “charming Sergietta.”
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Border Service reported on Sunday that the country’s authorities are stopping more than 100 people from leaving the country each day now that Kiev has ramped up mobilization efforts.
Hungary Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen told Hungarian broadcaster ATV on Monday that Budapest “would not extradite refugees to Ukraine.” “We do not investigate whether, according to the Ukrainians, the person is conscripted or not. Based on basic humanity, we will not allow them to be sent to their deaths”, as Kiev intensifies efforts to mobilize more troops for the army.
President Putin on Monday ordered a snap exercise in the use of tactical nuclear weapons in the Southern Military District, which borders Ukraine.
The drill is intended as a warning to the U.S. and its allies not to escalate the Ukraine conflict any further, both the foreign and defense ministries in Moscow emphasized in public statements.
While the West has accused Russia of making nuclear threats on multiple occasions, Moscow’s nuclear doctrine was spelled out in July 2020 and remains unchanged, the Kremlin has repeatedly stated.
The purpose of the drills is to iron out “the practical aspects of the preparation and deployment of non-strategic nuclear weapons,” as well as to strengthen the readiness of both equipment and personnel, “in order to ensure the integrity and sovereignty of Russia,” the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday.
Russia’s tactical nuclear arsenal - Warheads with yields measured in kilotons of TNT - such as the weapons used by the US against the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in April 1945 - are now considered tactical nuclear weapons. They are intended for use against battlefield targets, whether field formations or hardened combat positions.
Tactical nuclear warheads with yields of 5-50 kilotons can be mounted on 9M723-1 ballistic missiles or the 9M728 cruise missiles, both fired from the Iskander-M complex. Similar warheads can be carried by Kh-47M2 Kinzhal and the Kh-32 cruise missiles that are carried by Russian bombers.
A number of artillery systems can also deliver tactical nuclear warheads in the 2-2.5 kiloton range, installed in 152mm shells and 240mm mortar rounds.
A lion sleeps 20 hours a day.
If Russian forces truly are preparing for Kharkiv, this is an effort to gain territory to eventually bargain during a ceasefire deal. Also, this will force more Ukrainian troops to front lines when manpower is lacking. How did Alexander of Macedon defeat Darius at Gagumela? Stretch your enemies lines and look for weakness. Russian forces can open up Kharkiv front to stretch Ukrainian defenses lacking manpower and then pour in with all they got toward Chasiv Yar to ultimately take Kramatorsk/Slovyansk.
At this point, if NATO troops enter Ukraine, that will put tactical nukes on the table to be used within Ukraine, and strategic nukes elsewhere. This is truly an escalation to the next level.
Hitler also opened up multiple fronts. The last one cost Germany the war and cost him his life...
everything is correct, just like 80 years ago, the Nazis and Banderaites will be destroyed by the Red Army.
STRIKE GUM IS LEGIT!! Don’t take before bed. Super strong!
The Russian strategy was extremely effective around WWII and/or underequipped forces. If the opponent has no AoE weaponry and only a semi-automatic single-shot riflæe like the Garant it's extremely effective since the Russian army would always trade up.
Against a properly armed force with modern weaponry, it's just an amazing loss of manpower to get anything from and the trade will almost always be bad.
It's a clear indication that the Russian army has never really changed tactics or strategy since WWII. BNATO has, without being aware of it, been slowly outpacing first the USSR and then Russia for the past 50+ years because the USR and then Russia have been stagnating militarily.
Ukrainians retreating = flexible defensive strategy 🗿🗿
Maybe the Russians go there in the north to gather up and make the thin amount of defenders from Ukraine to allocate resources there. That is already a gain for Russia.
I hope Ukraine asks France to send in troops.
If France join the fun they won't be the only one in the party!

Dom't forger, sometimes giving up a bit of strategically worthless land is a good trade if your enemy has to reorganize, dig in again, move supplies, all while adapting to a new area. Something I imagine those Russian troops with no NCO leadership and poor training might struggle with.
when army retreats from their fortified/prepared positions are they not also doing the same?(digging new trenches, preparing defensive position, reorganizing, getting new supplies in....)so it works both ways
Russians did exactly that in Kherson. Leave the city without combat, to make NATO attack while crossing the river under artillery and aviation superiority of russians. Again and again.
