I would have said 'remorseless' but relentless is good too...

He really is relentless! An inspiration for all of us, hanging around in jimjams, just heaving breakfast... 🙃

I bet most arm chair experts around here are better then Zelensky and the ones advising Biden!

They don't attend the Russian General staff meetings so u shouldn't put too much stock at what their saying. All their saying are pure speculations being caught on the tactical "minutiae" side of things as Andrei Matrenov says. Best thing for us spectators to do is simply wait, cause in general the moment the SMO started Russia was never going to lose in the first place

Can’t even begin to imagine how much death there is in Bakhmut right now. All these young men dying for reasons that won’t produce any real improvement for the lives of the citizens of any side…

the issue is the cemetery is already full of drafted ukies

The ghost of Bakhmut will hold the entire souther line 😏

The Sea Eye Aye is filling the cemeteries of the Ukraine.

Cemetery a deadly space in Fallujah

😆😆 that is a nice joke

Russian knows what are the aims and they are doing the job... zelinsky and Ukraine must talk now or its too late.

You make a great point, although the evidence from other battles already taken place in Ukraine is that Zelensky will commit reserves right up until forces get encircled. In this case, until Zelensky is removed, battles in Ukraine will continue to be senseless in their final stages...

Totally agree with this, Russian army should surprise by high speed micro offensive on pincers or paratroopers ops, something unusual, they are too predictable and slow for now to make major victories against Ukrainians. This grind war will last for years. At this point maybe better just wait Ukrainians total lack of ammo for the Russians than doing useless&costly attacks like in Vuhledar.

For that they need to retreat. When they keep sending units and most of their original forces are replacements now that means the meat grinder is real. Now, take into account that they cant retreat efficiently now, with no actual big roads to go and 2 smaller country roads are all thats left. Ruskies know this and are putting pressure. Look into north of bakhmut. They are almost encircling paraslovivka. 2km between the ruskies cutting them off and only 1 small road within 300m of russian positions to retreat OR cross the fields... not a good situation for the 1-2k men that are there

If I might make a second observation... until Russia begins it's much delayed Winter offensive, it serves them well to maintain Bakhmut as a meat grinder. To be fair, I haven't expected Bakhmut to be taken yet, as Russia would have to establish another situation or city as a meat grinder, and that's risky. Clearly, it gives others the impression of a ponderous attack and even a further expression of incompetence. But, as a meat grinder, it's perfect...

On a side note it was Russia who saved America during the Civil war as they sent their Navy to San Francisco and New York when England and France were just about to enter the war on the side of the Confederates since London created the Confederates. Tsar Alexander wrote a letter to Queen Victoria saying “If you enter this war it will be a casus belli for all out war with the Russian Empire”.

I have been wondering if that is part of the plan myself. Much like how the Operation Bagration offensive followed the failed German Operation Citadel at Kursk. That would be keeping with old STAVKA thinking and would make sense considering the large groupings of Russian troops in Belgorod and Belarus would unleash havoc on the AFU that way. They also have 40,000 troops in Mariupol at the moment too and they have been there for about a week or so. They would be enough to stop any offensive operations the AFU tried to pull in the South when paired with the other forces in defense there already. Any counterattack will not go well for the AFU anyway now that they don't have the numerical advantage they held to tie down reserves like they had in the fall. Russia also has proper defense lines built up to prevent them from rushing forward and getting inside the artillery field of fire like they did in the pickup truck offensive they pulled earlier. So that is why I think it makes sense for them to do that and not attack in scale until the AFU tried to counter attack in some sort of offensive operation. So I am torn between thinking they will do a small phased early offensive in Donbass and follow up the next major Ukronazi counterattack with a full unleashing of the rest of their forces in the next month or two and thinking it will begin in earnest in March sometime on it's own initiative. I bounce between those two lines of thought too.

@@theprinceofcrows8691 Bagration was a year after Citadel, starting in late June 44. I think you must be referring to the two offensive operations of July 43 -Kutuzov (concentrated on Army Group Centre to the North of the Kursk Salient) and Rumyantsev (concentrated on Army Group South to the south Kursk salient). Bagration didn't follow or counter any German offensive. It coincided with the fighting in Normandy.

@@moravianpost3345 Yes you are right, I meant to say Operation Polkovodets Rumyantsev not Operation Bagration.

@@kilo.Colonel really? Ukronazis are almost done . Elensky sends 16 year old kids and over 60 males to die on the frontlines. Its the same thing hitler did in 1945 shortly befor the war ended.

@@kilo.Colonel stupid are people who do not care about the fact that russia is ending a 8 years lasting genocide . The ukranian nazis killed more than 15000 ukrainian russians, they broke the minsk agreementnt , the want to get into nato even tough they are only independend because they promised to never do that. Russia cant accept nato missles on their doorstep. Even an idiot knows this. Just like usa would not in cuba or mexico. Ukraine cant win this war. Not enough manpower, not enough of everything .they get slaughtered because usa wants it. Ukraine is a corrupt bandera nazi state and they will end like german nazis in 1945.

It'd be crazy for the Russians to dig in. Maybe some 30 world's richest countries are funneling military resources to Ukraine with the aim to destroy Russia. Ukraine, a country of around 40m, still has millions of potential soldiers that could be trained. There are also other cannon fodder reservoirs in the region... The Russians can't allow their enemies to regroup.

Not going to happen anytime soon.

That channel isn't reliable.

dennys talks pure nonsense, one of his videos said ukraine was launching a counter offensive when it was the russians doing this offensive

This Dannys is delusional or he just acting up to beg for online donation while he literally hiding. Zelensky just sacrificing the lives of Ukraniens to stuff his pocket full of aids money.

they are all 'Russian forces' - 'Wagner' is assault groups of RU military modeled roughly after French Foreign Legion. Same relaxed recruiting (allowing potential foreigners to join which is not possible with cadre RU military), same potential forgiveness of certain limited trespasses against the state upon completion of service, same potential path to citizenship after service. Better and heavier equipment, better tactics, much tighter operational control on the field. Hardly 'mercenaries' (the ONLY employer is RU General Staff, the only paymaster is RU General Staff), and absolutely not 'penal units' :). Same for DPR - up until a year ago they were their own force (supported logistically by RU), now they are full RU military , command and control, supplies, etc. They asked for and got to keep the old nicknames they had then they were just volunteer units of desperate civilians trying to fight off ukrainian fascists (Sparta, Somali, etc) however beyond this it is normal military with normal detachment markings, nomenclature, etc.. they are RU military through and through now.

You forgot option 4. Russia is meeting fierce resistance to the west of Bakhmut and is unable to fully encircle the city.

@@jesan733 🤣 how much is the entry fee??

@@BlGGESTBROTHER that might have been a factor if it wasnt for - as I said, "movements V capabilities".. when you analys what they have on the ground that resistance is perfectly manageable - and if anything being left in place. Even Ukrainian Intel and MS sources agree that the city could have been taken many times over if RF were willing. Remember though, this isnt the turf war that the MSM advertise it to be. This whole show is about political attrition and proliferation of the military industrial complex. Neither sides oligarchy want a rapid conclusion.

@@jesan733 I meant to your stand up show.. but being "normal" certainly isnt free, in fact its costing us a civilisation.

@@jesan733 😂 ...? Who's accepting Kremlin propaganda, friend. I'm not a flag-bro; I'm here for academic purposes only. Although the fact that you associate anyone that disagrees with you as an adversary says far more about you then it does me. I know that MSM peddles some powerful snake oil - I fell for it as a kid too! but if you put the fizzy beverage down for a moment, you'll see that the global oligarchy runs both sides of the show at the cost of average Joes' either end of the stick. You gain nothing but an early and miserable death by waving either rag. The whole red team blue team, the or us thing is just smoke and mirrors my friend. Smoke and mirror to distract you from the fact that you are being fleeced.

This war began in 2014, when Ukraine bombed Donetsk with planes. 15,000 people were killed. Putin will stop this genocide.

That's why Russia is so desperate to have a measurable advance to show 'progress'.

@@cacwgm why do you say progress in quotations like they havent taken at least 20% of Ukraine lol especially the most fortified 20% with all of the west's support... someone's going to be crying when Bakhmut falls

@@mpc7440 Thank you for your clear and compelling comment. I think that we'd agree with each; that we're living in a "clown world," where fiction is portrayed as fact/truth. This happened most recently "with covid," but that's another story. The narrative of misinformation in the West makes me wonder how people will respond if/when Russia carries out a big assault and fortunes change for the Ukrainian military! I'm reminded of 1975 and the American departure from Vietnam and 2021, when the USA left Afghanistan in a hurry. Disbelief of the public could be considerable...

@@jesan733 You're not paying attention. The (much delayed) Russian assault hasn't begun yet. Bear in mind that Western sources have been speculating that it will happen only when we get to the first anniversary of the SMO/war! That's their words, not mine. Secondly... I was referring to the effect on morale of the 1975 departure of American forces from Vietnam and the more recent hasty departure in Afghanistan. Invader or invaded, my point is how will morale hold up?! Thank you for the highlighted text though. I can now report to others on KZfaq (and in person) that my words have been emphasised to others. Respect to you sir!

ok

Not only that city but all the fortresses on the border. Then they can go hard.

They may not even be having any plans about it. Keeping everyone guessing is getting into Ukraine's nerves so that they never know where to concentrate forces and equipment as Russia continues to exploit weak Ukrop defenses and keep Ukrop tied up in positions they put more value to while Russia continues with its main battle in Bakhmut to completion.

Bakhmut will be a great momentum, they haven't even secured Adveeka and Marinka tho.

Don't you mean KIA.

The sad thing is no. It’s suspected they gained like 2.4 KM in 4 days, and are losing around 800 troops a day. That # seems high but those include Wagner troops who are in human wave attacks. So yeah 3200 corpses (or more) for about 2.4 km of territory. If you use all the destroyed Russian equipment you might even be able to make a nice wall around the cemetery.

we hear NaTO send more body bag than weapon to ukraine.
