    "Lack of resources" means one has to improvise, adapt and overcome with what resources are available at the given time. If it requires rearranging troop concentrations and/or equipment and reassigning them to the appropriate positions for whatever mission is deemed necessary, then that is what is done. Reorganization on the fly is key in any fluid combat situation. The Ukrainians have shown to be innovative, resourceful and motivated in their battle to remain an independent people.

    On resources Georgijs:
    I was born smaller than the heavyweight that beat me up as a kid so I can equate my lack of size back then as being "short on resources". Then one day while being thrown around I found a hickory stick "resources" and knocked him out cold...problem solved.
    The "equalizer" was what my father called this now fanciful concept, but feel free to call it "resources" if it gets people to contribute more damn RESOURCES.

    PAUSED What does it mean that Ukraine has less resources than Russia?
    In the short run, Ukraine is still suffering from a severe shortage of artillery shells, especially cluster munitions. Also Russia seems to be using more air launched glide bombs than previously, I am assuming this is in part caused by a shortage of air defenses.
    In the long run the West will hopefully get its act together and provide Ukraine with more equipment than Russia can muster. However, manpower may turn out to be the critical resource in the very long run and this is why it is extremely important to signal to the Russians that Western countries do not rule out sending troops to Ukraine, so that the Russians do not start to imagine that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    You make some excellent points, man. And I agree with you. Some of the media is getting all worked up over minor little Russian advances. Yeah, it sucks to give up terrain, however defending areas is best done in specific places that give the defenders tactical advantages that ensure maximum damage to the invaders and preserves the fighting ability of the defenders forces, in spite of minimal materiel support. Then, once the flow of military equipment resumes to a level sufficient to drive the invaders back, they will have the forces to do so having not wasted them in defense of questionable areas that would have consumed them. Thanks for the sanity, dude!

      "modern" goes back to the 1800s with the derogatory label "yellow journalism", and probably well before that straight into antiquity. :P It's human nature to frequently act out of self-interest and opportunism. To support Ukraine, we have to exploit this in order to frame this conflict in a way that our political decision-makers understand benefits them.

      Agree. What with ratings requirements, secrecy, misdirection, time delays and the whole fog of war, media coverage should be taken with a large grain of salt and the msm coverage with a barrel of salt. Unfortunately here in the UK the 'news' coming out of Russia is reported by the broadcast media as is and isn't prefaced with "It is well known that Russia always lies and today Russia is saying..."

      This is particularly true of copy editors. These are the folks who write the headlines of the stories more often than not. Their goal is to draw readers in, usually using hyperbole, sensationalism, and are not beyond resorting to deception. It's literally what they are trained and expected to do. Considering how many people only read the headlines, you can imagine the effect.

    8:00 - here we go. I paused and answer like this:
    1.) As I learned from you, the speed of RU progress is too slow to make significant advance. I agree.
    2.) Ukrainians are everything else than stupid. I assume they very well estimate their position and resources.
    3.) Resources are rare, hence it is unfortunately a bitter fight.
    4.) Most important: I watched Anna today in an interview with European Resilience Initiative center. It was once again an eye opener. Ukrainians NEVER will give up. They are so much stronger than we believe. It's their mindset, not their weapons.

      Uhm, unless I'm mistaken, the question was: "What does the lack of reources mean?" I'd answer:
      - It means the lack of air superiority. Ukraine currently can't do much about gliding bombs.
      - It means they have to wait for russians to approach. Not enough vehicles to catch them right at the border.
      - It means thy have to resort to trench warfare. Not enough artillery to counter them early on.

    One thing that still grinds my gears is that the invasion force number is an estimate on IF the brigades participating are at FULL strength this also included the artillery number and the tank/armored vehicle numbers.
    I understand it's smarter to assume Moscovia is invading with fully staffed brigades to avoid getting complacent, but Moscovia is rarely operating fully staffed brigades anymore and it hasn't for a very long time.

    I'm getting annoyed at allot of news outlets saying "how could Ukraine just let the Russians walk in, did they not have defences?".
    1. The Russians didn't just walk in, they have already lost hundreds of men.
    2. More importantly, neither Ukraine or Russia is capable of building strong fortification directly on the border. How the hell are you supposed to build a bunker or trench when you are in range of enemy fire? Why do you think Ukraine was able to raid Belgorod?
    Russia hasn't breached the first line of defence. They haven't even reached it yet. RU is about to hit a wall very soon.

      The war will shift dramatically when Ukraine has the resources to ensure air superiority - air defence will stop the shahids and most missiles while F16s will stop the planes launching the massive glide bombs. It is a war of attrition and that means resources. Ukraine will still lack the men to advance along the full length of the front, so they will always have to be strategic.

    It would have been pointless having heavy equipment up against the border, with the agreements on using donated kit they could not use it immediately anyway leaving this valuable equipment exposed. They needed the depth so they could use the artillery on Ukrainian soil.
    The light defense suggests that it was more a small observation force by the Ukrainians to observe the border and intercept small russian units, once the full russian force came through they would have fallen back to stronger defense lines while directing artillery fire.
    That seems logical.

    Ukraine lacking artillery shells meant that they couldn't drop a ton on the Russians as they came over the boundary. Leaving Ukraine to defend with more close range defence.

    Defend every where, you defend no where. Adding space to makes an attack show its full array by advancing on bad ground while defending from better terrain. Engaging with combat strength even if your numbers are less than the attacker. The fact that Ukraine is using some of those elements is a good sign. Trading space for time to engage at a place of your choice is sound.

    Russia has been recruiting Indians, Cubans, Chinese, Syrians, prisoners. It has been importing shells and drones from North Korea and Iran. It has been using T55 tanks. Everything indicates it has burnt through its stockpiles of munitions and equipment.
    This offensive could, and I stress just could, be similar to the 1918 German offensive, a desperate attempt to knock Ukraine out of the war before incoming supplies possibly turn the balance.

    I don't think ruzzia intends to take Kharkiv. Given the number of troops they deployed to the Kharkiv oblast, this action is most likely a diversion so that they can increase their attacks in trying to take the rest of the Donbas since Ukraine will be forced to send reinforcements to this region away from the Donbas. It is time for France and the other countries to send their troops to Ukraine. Ukraine needs to formally request this.

    Thank you, Georgijs.
    I came here straight from Artur Rehi and was feeling a bit low. You could not have posted this at a better time.
    I like Artur, I support his work, but his judgement is sometimes…. hasty? When he backs it up with pictures and videos, it becomes more convincing and I need someone like you to clear the picture again.
    Yes, I’m a big Jake Bro fan, too. His explanations of the inexplicable US political system have been hugely helpful in understanding why the resources suddenly dried up.
    I understand the difficulties experienced by people who have no way to make things go bang.
    Their choice comes down to hide, or move. If they hide, they’re of no further use, once the lines pass by, even if they survive.
    Moving back and being ready to use whatever equipment eventually does arrive is the logical choice.
    I’m much more concerned that the Czech initiative is sourcing Soviet standard shells. Those will have been manufactured with russian quality control and under corrupt management. They will have been in storage in unknown conditions ever since. While I appreciate that even a 50% failure rate is better than no ammo, I don’t want to see videos of Ukrainian crews cleaning up after a shell blows up
    in the barrel. I don’t want to see their shells falling short and replicating russian experience from last year. I was hoping the US aid would arrive on time to make the Czech initiative supplies just a backup, rather than the main event. Now it looks like that may not happen.

      While it may seem scary now I firmly believe that things will get better soon. The only reason Russia launched this little offensive is because they know when Ukraine gets all of the western aid in full they will firmly be on the backfoot until their eventual defeat. For Russia to take more territory now is their best time all or nothing.

    Sumy, the area north of Kharkiv were under constant attacks.
    The futzing around by the EU, NATO and the USA hasn't helped the Ukranian military forces deal with the attacks. 🥺

    You need to consider that countries donating military equipment are asking Ukraine to not use that equipment (including ammo) in Russia. So it makes sense that Ukraine would rather intentionally rather not have the front line directly at the border, because then they couldn't fire donated ammo at the enemy without risking losing future donations.

    Ukraine has a lack of resources and this means that they are restricted in what they can do. This does not mean they don't have the motivation to win, it means that they are in a holding pattern till the resources they need are supplied. This also means more time wasted, more lives lost and even more damage, tragedy and devastation. At least this is what I think being low on resources means.
