Just a matter of time before Ukraine surrenders, no way it can withstand this pressure from Russia.
Paul, have you thought about having a live discussion with a Russian military blogger. keeeping it civil, and talking only military tactics?
I think it would be fascinating to listen to / watch.
1 you can't be sure if this is the main axis of attack yet. 2 the point of a new front is a new front. Manpower issues means Ukraine is already spread thin. If they don't reinforce and Russia commits a large force then Russia will eat up a large part of Kharkiv. If Ukraine does reinforce they are pulling people and equipment from other parts of the line. Screwed either way.
You shouldn't have bought into the daily casualty figures. If they were losing that many men and that much equipment they wouldn't have 400 tanks, 800 IFVs/APCs and 50,000 troops to commit to a new offensive.
@@jasonschnelle110 I don’t see a contradiction. The Russians have huge stores of older equipment and nobody knows how usable it all is so if they find a few hundred extra that shouldn’t be a surprise.
And a lot of the casualties are people Russia does not value anyway.
@@MrScandinavioHe won't even take out any normal military blogger, he is like Deny Denis.
Maybe it is to open up a north front to force Ukraine to send man power north thus allowing the real push down south to occur much easier. Their objection is the thin out Ukraine line, not to take the city
that won't happen. Russia is just a joke.
With pooter's track record of failed "feints" such as Kiev, Sumy, Kharkiv & Kherson I doubt even putinists would be dumb enough to try another one 😎
yes and no. Ukraine would have had to station troops there anyway to guard against a russian attack. Russia is using troops to attack better prepared and defendable ukrainian positions, troops it could have used to support the push down south. If russia wastes that manpower while ukraine is able to takes the least amount of casualties then ukrainian lines will not be thined out.
Essentially, they're working towards a seige of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk as well as Kharkiv, which would allow Putin to claim at least a bare minimum decisive victory. He wants Odessa too but I can't see that happening.
Would make sense if they’re trying to take and hold the entire coastline, but that’s not currently feasible… unless something has changed?
They're creating a buffer zone and plan to use that lake as flank cover.
Exactly, it’s not really that difficult to see that if people are paying attention to how they move west of Adivika
Yes Paul the tool isn’t very knowledgeable….I doubt he was in the military
@@ivanfiorani1363 He was in the military, but only served at lower levels (platoon or company). I have noticed he does seem to lack the analysis ability that an officer of higher rank with combat experience would have.
@@nicholasconder4703 and also he is bias and a spinner
40k russians is not enough to create a buffer. ukraine is dug in with 15-20k troops. russia needed 15 to 1 numbers to make the small gains they did in south over 7 months when ukraine was low on ammo.
I don't know why this should be a surprise!? There were numerous reports that Russia was building up forces there.
Can you share those reports, please?
The question before they started that front was “Do the Russians feel confident enough with their available manpower and supplies to open another front?” The answer turned out to be yes. Are they correct? I guess we will see how it plays out.
Ukraine is already desperately short of men, so the opening of any additional front will be catastrophic. If Ukraine doesn’t redeploy a lot of manpower to the north then the Russians will easily be able to take high ground and cross water. The larger the additional frontal area the more troops Ukraine has to redeploy. I can see the logic.
the only thing... .we've all been preparing to this for half a year now
Funny, I just wrote that I hope, they saw this coming 2 weaks ago. My complete ignorence I know they saw this going but made a joke out of it. THEN though, you taught me that WAR games must have been played covering this senereo, hopefully.
Yeah, other channels have even given an (accurate) day for the operation to kick off.
This guy cant think more than a week ahead and relies on the now biased Deepstate UA mapping.
If they strike gum they would be unstoppable. Make sure to call your local government officials to sanction strike gum so russia doesn't get ahold of it and China can't reverse engineer it.
@@kevinmccarthy8746FYI: This post, and every post from this profile, is referring to Russia when it says: "we've been preparing to this for half a year now"....this is one of the Combat Vet News channel's full-time resident Russian Bot accounts, that literally comments a handful of posts in EVERY SINGLE video's comment section.
SsuuuuuuRe you have comrade....sure you have. LoL. It's very amazing how much classified Russian military strategy you are always in the loop on. Very impressive.

Surprise attack? They have been talking about this for like two weeks now.
He's a combat vet.. he's the expert lololol 😂 Ukraine starting hitting that region first in last few weeks, but this offensive puts that to bed. The yanks working on the artillery are being sent home in ziplock bags cuz they can't find enough to fill a body bag. Lolol 🤣
@irishrebel374 my dad's a combat vet and doesn't know shit about this
@@andrewkoestl holy good f***, sarcasm lad, sarcasm lolol Paul a chomp. My dad was a freedom fighter, where was your father's 'justified' war?. 9/11 was inside job. Afghanistan and Libya was illegal wars as well as Iraq and syria.. your dad was a murderer and and invader..
@@irishrebel374lol, it took 2 years to take Andviika, 9 months to take Bakmhut, 100k+ casualties total for RU. Kharkiv is literally 10x the size of Andviika if not larger. 🤣🤣 This is going to be another disaster for RU.
@@irishrebel374tard 😂
Boss says to take ground at any cost: leads to taking worthless ground. Boss says to open second front: second front opens in death trap.
Reminds just too much hitler 😂😂😂
Battle plan. 1. take useless ground. 2. win T Shirt. 3. Kick bucket.
Steiner will stop the Russians...no doubt
Thats what happens if you plan your strategy with a calendar.
If you would understand, you would be general.
There should be reason.
Distraction , volume,
Dividing etc
The big surprise might be why they didn't do this on May 9th, Russian Victory Day. Maybe someone high up in the Russian Army forgot to check his reminders yesterday...
Bet they needed that one T-34
The generals were on parade, and then they spent time somewhere else
When is Shoigu going to be arrested for being a corrupt POS?
Because if the attack would have been a total defeat like it seems to be right now then they would have a defeat on their victory day
I love analysts who know everything about Russia, how they behave and what they think😂@@sickmit3481
What surprise? I have been hearing about such a possible attack for the past few weeks....
The Russian should have asked “combat veterans reacts” where to attack
Yeah but the only problem is they want to win😂😂
He thinks this is afghanistan or something.
Good sarcasm 😄
@@FieldsOfUpplandHe is just all about money and subscriptions. Am a veteran and am sorry he is misinforming you guys.
Bro, we knew that this "surprise" attack was coming for a while
It looks like a feint.
Wonder what the troop numbers are in that region( in the rear, reserve not deployed). Also what the supply chain supporting that drive looks like. That would give a clue towards what the reasoning is.
@frankmims
Ah Ok………. Thanks general…….
Meta-ironic comment, considering russian explanations for map changes a while ago.
To draw the Ukrainian reserves sure but it is a bit late. The Ukrainian munition shortages will soon be over
@@arjan2777lol you guys are hilarious
Not really a surprise. Something it was talked about for weeks.
It's not the surprise, it is the location.
He was surprised. He doesn't pay much attention to this war. He just checks the news every now and then.
@@hypernova5773Why should he? It’s not like he’s a general in this war. He’s a news aggregation CZcamsr collecting information and sharing it when it is pertinent.
@@kuidaorekitchen5850 and the timing.
from what i saw reported it was 3 russian bmp and an mtlb that crossed the border and video shows them burning after getting hit by artillery. to me thats not an invasion of kharkiv by russia. its just russian canon fodder probing.
when you see the russians bring out golf carts, thats when you should realize its serious because all the tanks and bmp have been destroyed.
Hmmm, they just moved thousands of pieces of equipment to the frontline just this week, including 600 tanks. And another couple hundred thousand troops as well.
@@allenhartley6078 And they just lost 314 trying to take, and failing to take, a few fields west of Avdiivka. Over a thousand orcs per day on average are being removed from their gene sewer.
@@feoxorus aww bless , keep believing the CIA LOL
@feoxorus the only ones losing a thousand troops a day are Ukraine. Why do you think they are using a draft system and releasing prisoners if they go to the frontlines and fight. Ukraine has no ammo left to kill anyone anymore. And Russia just leveled the heavily fortified airfield that was going to be used for the F16's last night, killing hundreds of Ukraine soldiers and all their equipment.
@feoxorus can't reply as they don't like the actual facts. Many military sites out there with real video and data evidence, not a commenter with zero war experience opinions.
Thanks Paul 👍👍👍
THIS IS a job for F16s . ..the new Warthog.....
Yes, the aircraft designed in the 1960s will come to the rescue. Take a look, Russia has all the wonder weapons. The F16 won't last 5 minutes in Ukraine, just like the Patriots and the M1 tanks.
where is the f-16? Do you still believe that they will appear in the ranks of the Ukrainian army?😂
@@Notrusbot They have np place to land. The Russians just bombed the airport near Lvov where the F16s were supposed to land.
Nope!, this is a job for the artillery shell and the drones.
Not that much of a surprise. Podcasts on CZcams were reporting a build up of troops across the border from Kharkiv a fortnight ago.
Surprise Attack!!!! but not really surprised as it has been talked about extensively for a few months now
How is this considered a surprise? Victory Day Parade featured current war participants carrying Soviet Battle Flag from WW2 Battle of Kharkov. Doesn't seem surprising at all.
i dont think you can call it a surprise atack when they basicaly anounce it
Surprise attack? I'd call it more like a diversion. Something else is cooking there.
Yah.
They ll be in Odessa next week
its called russian zerg of territory before ukraine gets artillery ammo. problem is the artillery ammo arrived.
They are scouting for defence lines and artillary positions, next step is reinforcement on specific places to attack blitzkrieg style from the north and east while precision strikes attack artillary and defensive lines at the same time.
That is how I would do it atleast.
How could it possibly be a surprise?
you can't make a surprise attack that everyone has been waiting for for at least half a year
Not to mention the fact it's already been confirmed the US has tapped russian communications lmao. No doubt they told Ukraine about the build up.
Is this the surprise attack announced since February?
Perhaps it's an extension of the "Russia as the new Rome" theme. They want to re-enact Varus' campaign in the Teutoburg Forest.
Ukraine did say they are expecting an attack from that direction, because troops were getting amassed for a month or so, so I'm not surprised. The vector of the attack does seem pretty dumb though.
Mr. Combat veteran: It's really hard for me to understand bla bla bla...No surprise there😂
) At least he is sincere. I enjoy this as a freak show, but I'm worried about that most of the audience also seems to belong to the intellectual reserve in the American army.
Surprise?? Everyone talking about Harkiv offensive for months..
surprise attack everyone had been expecting for at least two weeks already !
And Ukraine is falling for the ultimatum
How can this be surprising if we knew this since 5 weeks now that Russia is prepping for this offensive.
If you intend to conquer a whole country, then gaining terrain IS an interesting objective.
But Russia has the secret weapon, that one remaining working T-34. It's an incredible upgrade on the golf carts.
it's funny that Russia has been resisting all possible NATO equipment with golf carts and missiles from washing machines for 2 years, and even has the initiative
@@TT-bi8tyYeah, NATO has been running dangerously low on old surplus equipment. If this keeps going, they may have to restart production and even send Ukraine equipment that was manufactured during this century.
@@Keldor314 your irony looks ridiculous, considering that all countries combined could not give Ukraine even half of the promised artillery, and half of the NATO countries are now saying that they were left unarmed because of supplies to Ukraine
@@TT-bi8ty Oh, I agree that NATO is, in general, not taking the war very seriously. In fact, as an American, I'd say our contribution can be best described as "half-assed". I mean, really, a couple dozen Himars systems, a couple hundred tanks and other armored vehicles, one or two Patriot systems, and various artillary and small arms? Against the entire Russian military?
But maybe the strategy is to give Ukraine just enough to hold off Russia until Putin gives up and goes home. If Putin were to ever actually be *overthrown*, we'd be looking at the potential for civil war in Russia, which, given the number of nuclear weapons scattered around, is really not in anyone's best interest.
Cumbat Veteran didnt see that coming
Think he saw it ,he is puzzled by the geographical buzz saw russia is probing.
Oh man that's funny
"never fight uphill, me boys" -donnie
How can it be a surprise attack when it has been talked about for at least two months ?
Goodbye, Private Conscriptovitch. That ain't a bunch of women and kids down there.
And it was all women and children up to now??? I would like to remind you that ukr lost only 8000 civillians according to UN. While-palestine-lost 15.000 kids in 4 months. While Iraq-lost-1.6 million of people, of-wich-300.000-were kids.
@@OleDiaBole What would you say is an acceptable/unacceptable number of civilian deaths, Colonel Kleptovsky? I mean, Moscow has been intentionally targeting civilians for over two years now, but I guess you're saying it's not the intent, but rather the efficiency or volume? Didn't you just shoot at churches during the Easter services, Colonel? No doubt you were only aiming at the back of the congregation, where the guys with the guns sit, right?
Your comments will not age well, sir. Russia is about to break this thing open for some distance. I guess you can sit next to Obama with your hopes and dreams. I prefer to live in reality.
It seems as if you have picked a “good guy” in this whole thing.
That’s so sweet little guy!
@@brothersinarms5524 How quaint of you to refer to me as 'sir', Mr. Vatnik, while you promise death, torture, and rape to millions, while stirring the race-pot with the name of an American citizen who hasn't been in office for eight years...
I have to say, I've met some clumsy and inept trolls, but maybe you take the cake. Paul, do you really run your channel like this? When they held it hostage, did they get you?
Keep coping. At least you're making us laugh
There is no way this was not seen coming one way or another.
It's already been long ago confirmed the US has tapped russian communications. Plus the fact Ukraine has spent the past few months building a multi layered defense in that area so the US definitely told them about it.
Its always amusing to hear how you pronounce the city names 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this, Paul!
It wasn't a surprise offensive as Ukraine knew it was coming.
And now they have to pull reserves from avdiivka sector
You gotta remember Paul: the land itself may not be worth much, but the resources underneath it are. Lots of minerals, lots of oil in eastern Ukraine.
I don't think they have the time or need for oil
@@andreimareilie9108 They're thinking about AFTER the war . . .
@Roonasaur Yea I guess it makes sense but we already decoupled from Russian oil and we do need to transition away from fossil fuels so depending on how long this war lasts oil might not be so important. Minerals it depends what kind but it might not matter that much.
@@Roonasaur As if Russia hasn't enough ressources already, especially Oil-Ressources. Russia has so much ressources and potential to be a great country, instead they use these ressources for their military to occupy more land for even more ressources. If Russia is not even able to become a great country with their high amounts of ressources they already have, how are they supposed to become a great country with even more land and even more ressources, that they won't be able to use efficiently? Simple a power greedy country.
@@RuLeZ1988 Well, they're oviously not thinking THAT far ahead, lol
I was commenting in the Willy OL channel that you are one of my favourite bloggers, so funny. Always publishing positive news, and once a week explaining how during last week you had been kicked the ass
Emotional damage for catholic Serbs, also known as a Croats. The greatest Ukraine supporters
It's absolutely unlikely it will succeed, or that it even will be that useful as a divergent action.
Let them do stupid things like this more often, then they will loose the war faster!
they're winning...how stupid can someone be to believe that Ukranus is winning this war when they are going backwards and they are banning planting flags on graves because too many are now visible from space in giant cemeteries? They also don't want commercial sat companies taking pics of this from space
Absolutely right 😢
Absolutley wrong russia is winning
Ukraines literally throwing marines in krynky.. it’s bizarre u insult Russians for opening a front, but then it’s victory if Ukraine gains ground In small town?
Agreed.
Never interrupt the enemy when he is making a mistake.
It helps when your enemy is Russia and he constantly makes mistakes.
Just probing … lets stay calm
Start drinking your cups of cope.
@@Darkthrone-qi1ic lol exactly
Its not a surprise if it was predicted a month ago. And the fact that they did it the day after victory day. When fresh troops would have the highest moral is not only predictable, but laughably so.
They don't need to take anything, just continue applying pressure.
exactly. their goal is to overextend ukrainian forces untill some of their brigades eventually collapse
@@vladimirvladimirovichputin1352they are completely deffective

Ukrainian trolls or Russian trolls?
there’s no point in even looking at what this chewing gum advertisement says, all of its analytics are meaningless because they never come true
@@Notrusbot Garbage channel.
Hardly a surprise when everyone knew there was 50 k Russians in that arear
problem is they need about 250k to 300k russian soldiers to take kharkiv. the small gains they made in 7 months when ukraine was low on ammo at avdiivka of 10km front moving, the russians were attacking in a very localized area with 15 to 1 numbers taking huge casualties for small gains.
look what happened in bakmutivka today when russia put an unwise troop concentration there today with ukraine having artillery ammo come in and new bradleys.
@marcusaurilius1488 BBC and other pro Ukraine sources admitt
Russia has only lost 50k since start of war.
@@TARKHPERUNOVICH not really uk and france now say russia lost around 450k in total casualties. uk says of that 150k are kia russian soldiers. you are using data from 2 years ago lol
@@TARKHPERUNOVICH your russia propaganda data is 2 years out of date.
@@marcusaurilius1488 Russia has captured 10 villages in the last 24 hours alone
I think its to stretch as much as possible the ukrainian defensive line to overflow the front on other more important side of the frontline and try to make more significant ground gain
Thanks! You rock!
You’re so confused what they’re doing. It’s called pushing the line
russia has been talking about a buffer zone. now the exact distance they have said has varied - depending on where. but its to stop artillery strikes by ukraine on places in russia or cities in the donbas the russians hold. they have been shelling donetsk for ages, now belgorod has been taking fire. push as many kms as needed to outrange most artillery. numbers of pieces of equipment and estimates of manpower is way too low to "take kharkiv"
Comments I have heard in the news here is that this attack may be a reconnesence in force and that the major attack may still be to come.
It wasn't a surprise tbh, here in Ukraine everyone knew about it a week beforehand
How are people feeling in Ukraine?
Sumy is the traditional, historical invasion route.
?
Sounds like it’s just a feint then

"never attack uphill, me boys"
General Lee got it to work once in the US civil war. But yes every other time uphill attack = write your own will.
Why doesn't Ukraine destroy all of the roads and bridges at the Russian boarder. It makes no sense to me to leave these pathways open and make it easy for the Russians. Paul, can you comment on this please.
They are crossing in land border areas. These attacks didn't utilize bridges. The roads in those areas are cut and the area is mined.
@wdonwelton
Ahhhh because Ukraine doesn’t have enough ammunition to put up a defense sooooo they definitely don’t have enough ammunition to destroy all the “roads and bridges” either………

Did you ever ask yourself "maybe I'm just not that good at tactical thinking?".
I've always felt that this war is about Ukraine inflicting as much casualties on the Russians as possible until fate finally catches up with Putin even if it means sacrificing some territory in the short term.
Don't forget they'll want to get to the bottom of that big lake in order to destroy the dam and flood downstream.
I also thought about it. can be in 5 months or in the winter 2024/25, I think this is at least partly their plan.
The AFU have stated that these attacks are an effort to crest a 3-5 mile buffer zone to protect Russian territory.
Seems the most logical explanation.
The orcs can't protect their original territory, that's proven almost every day.
The author finds it difficult to contemplate its just a buffer zone .
@@kushroo that was the AFU assessment, not mine! I suspect that this is simply another example of Soviet operational opportunism. If the attack is non-productive the Russians will say that it was just a diversion. If it is productive the Russians will say that they have had a tremendous victory due to the brilliant leadership of their fearless leader.
@@clydeosterhout1221 ok, but why is just a soviet opportunism? Litteraly every army of the world does that when there is a failure.
I think their goal is to take terrain -- they haven't defined the borders of the part of Ukraine their constitution claims as Russian. Get what you can, freeze the war, declare victory at home, recover and refit, continue in five or ten years.
Of course your surprised Paul. It’s pretty obvious you attack where the enemy isn’t.
Didn't learn the first time.
Callback. It is apart of the same mission of creating a buffer zone for Russia border to create a dmz so they can eliminate the drones and to get artillery in range for shelling Kharkov. Because it is very common that Russia shell a town and then do recon and then fab and then put pressure on the flanks. Come on Paul you know Russia needs at least 200k for a all out front in the north along with 300k to standby for clean up .
They've already been shelling Kharkiv for quite some time.
Maybe to bring the 122s closer?
The surprise we all knew was coming. I look forward to seeing what surprises Ukraine has prepared for them.
Eventually, we've got really great news. Thank you!
Its hard for him to understand ha ha
Russia is just trying to overwhelm Ukraine's capabilities
nah not with only 40k troops about north of kharkiv by russia. its alot easier to defend than attack and ukraine has 15-20k troops there in fortified positions. russia would need about 250-300k troops to take kharkiv is the reality.
the small territorial gains in the south russia had, they were sending 15 to 1 numbers to make those small gains at huge casualty rates when ukraine was low on ammo for 7 months. go look at videos of today at novabatmutivka, russians move a high troop concentration there into a kill box and they took huge casualties with no gain.
It's treacherous war, putler trying to bury as much as he can.
What suprise attack, Historylegends and Weeb Union is literally talking about this troop concentration for a month now.
Thank you
4:47 I respectfully disagree with your comment "Liberate". I believe "occupy" may be the most appropriate word.

With a lake to the side, your enemy also can't charge into your flanks which is good if your intent is to drive straight forward.

If you want to know Putin's motivation, overlay a map of the invasion with a map of undeveloped Ukrainian oil and gas deposits. YES! The objective is to take as much territory as possible to prevent Ukraine from developing the Luhansk-Donetz gas field which would undercut the Russian price of oil.

Ukraine has been preparing kill zones and trenching with reinforced concrete and wood, making case mates, machine gun, nests, and pre-siding their motors and artillery and tank and personnel mines weeks ahead of this. It’s the one advantage Ukrainians have it said they’ve been trenching and preparing for this exact situation.❤
Yeah and all that infrastructure will disappear after TOS III hits it for a few days. It's over.
Are these tranches FAB proof?
@@milanmarinkovic3016 Ha! I don't think so, and they aren't TOS proof either.
@@milanmarinkovic3016 are the jets launching the FAB500s patriot proof? We already know there are multiple patriot batteries around Kharkiv.
Sure, taking out important targets might be worth risking the jets and pilots, but using them to take out trenches is stupid.

Are the Patriots Iskander proof?
The objective is attrition. Ukraine is running low on weapons and manpower. By opening another front in the north, it thins out ukraines forces as they will need to send troops to reinforce the area, and it opens up for a push in the east. This could be some sort of pincer.
Rivers means bridges bridges means limited and vulnerable supply routes, it makes sense to attack into a waterway pocket if you can easily cut off enemy supply and travel options to that area that's what I gather from this anyway
