No one in the west cares 😂, they look at numbers and they apply less than our knowledge of war which is already less than actual veterans or experts or high ranking officers, and they are less knowledgeable than the Russians who are actually experiencing it first hand 😂, it's ridiculous that they still spout the same BS, but all in all, the top makes a lot of money, the low politicians gets lied to 24/7, high ranking officials bribed to give false reports and same old same old. If the people are easily influenced(sorry but just facts : women), then it's easier for the country to make great mistakes.

Most of those Ukrainian battalions are not fighting at anywhere near full strength. The Kraken regiment who were included in this supposed 38 thousand were just withdrawn after only three days on the line. Two thousand dead and wounded and over one hundred taken prisoners.

There is no stopping as my country (USA) and other European countries FORCE Russia and Ukraine not to make peace agreements. It’s the West that started this war with a coup and killing 10 years before the war, and it is the west that FORCES Ukraine to “fight” (suicide charges) we were also building up to attack Russia OFFENSIVELY before Russia entered first when it was in their favor. They made mistakes early on in the war but have sense dug in where they wanted to push and protect the people who voted to become sovereign and now just wait until the west can’t fight anymore. This is a war of attrition specifically designed to destroy Russia and either destroy Ukraine or force them to become a total western puppet.

All helping Ukraine’s military does is drag the war on, causing more Ukrainian fatalities than there otherwise would be before Russia inevitably wins. Even before this conflict escalated just over 2 tears ago Russia’s economy was like 20 times bigger than Ukraine’s, meaning Ukraine cannot win.

I honestly don't get the insistence of the AFU throughout last year, since May-June 2023, to continuously push on certain points where there's no chance in the world that they would break the Russian lines. Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Krinky, Robotyne, failure after failure. It makes you wonder why they are repeating the same mistake, over and over again? The Russians have made grave mistakes, but aren't repeating them. They have adjusted their tactics and amended their way of conducting their assaults.

@Domo_arrigato Ай бұрын

The fact that similar mistakes are made again and again is rarely due to a lack of analysis. In my view, factual analyses are then overlaid and displaced by political decisions. Ukraine, with power struggles looming or already ungoing in its own government and the many NATO governments breathing down its neck, has the best breeding ground for decisions of the brand "it's stupid warfare, but we had to do that".

Also, many Ukie brigades have said that they won't mutiny openly, but they refuse to follow orders to attack, since they know they'll just be shelled to bits. And it has been confirmed even by Ukie-loving sources that the front brigades are down to 40%. And that new conscripts now only get one week of training before being sent to Kharkov. Zelensky is absolutely obsessed with Kharkov, screaming at his generals, clearly afraid - and I'm not saying that as an insult. He was very shaken when the Russians were outside Kiev in 2022. He is afraid now that they'll take Kharkov (they won't) and move to Kiev again. So he moves together this haphazard force in the region. There's a word for it: "Paper tiger."

Почитал комментарии и понял, что многие до сих пор так и не понимают суть конфликта и почему Россия так и не захватила Украину за 2 года. И мне честно говоря уже лень объяснять подробно, так как делал я это десятки раз, но видимо придется повторить)) Есть несколько основополагающих факторов, которые почему-то до сих пор люди игнорируют или не понимают. Во-первых, у России никогда неболо целью захватить Украину, цель как была до специальной операции, так и осталась до сих пор - получить гарантии безопасности от стран запада. И специальная военная операция была направлена исключительно на вынуждение к переговорам, но так как ситуация развивается, ставки растут, то меняется не цель, а входные данные к переговорам, то есть у кого будет лучше позиция, и как не сложно догадаться, Россия заняв стратегию на истощение, все это время только усиливает свою позицию. Во-вторых, до сих пор многие так и не понимают, что невозможно оценивать результат только по происходящему на поле боя, для России нет выгоды в получении территорий, просто посмотрите на карту мира, Россия самая большая страна в мире, она занимает 1/6 суши всей планеты, при этом на ее территории проживает всего 146 миллионов человек, и грубо говоря, основной проблемой России является недостаток населения для освоения этой территории. В итоге, Россию с самого начала не интересовали территории Украины, захват этих территорий и присоединение их к России, связано в первую очередь с меняющийся в процессе ситуации, но Россию интересовали люди, и если посмотреть на статистику миграции из Украины, то вас сильно удивит, но самое большое количество беженцев из Украины за 2 года, было не в Германию, Польшу или Румынию, а в Россию, примерно около 5,5 миллионов человек. И это не считая проживающих на новых территориях граждан и Крыма. В-третьих, для России это не противостояние с одной Украиной, это противостояние против коалиции стран НАТО и условного запада, то есть порядка 40 стран, более того, даже без помощи этих стран, и до конфликта, Украина это самая большая страна Европы, которая на момент переворота в 2014 году, по статистики обладала пятой по силе армией Европы, обладала огромным запасом вооружения доставшегося от СССР, и это вам не страна с пастухами в место армии, с которыми так любили воевать страны запада. Так что непонятно с чего, многие решили, что Россия с ограниченным контингентом в 2022г., с ограничением на применение вооружения, так как для России это не война, а военная операция, ставит своей целью захват Украины? Нет, еще раз повторю, основной целью этой операции было вынудить переговоры, на которых Россия рассчитывает получить гарантии безопасности со стороны НАТО и условного запада и получить нейтральный статус Украины. что бы базы НАТО не появились на границы, просто сейчас, с условием нынешней ситуации, будут дополнительные условия, то есть признание Крыма и присоединенных территорий. В четвертых, невозможно в таком конфликте, где против России участвует целая коалиция, отделять военные успехи от политических успехов, и как ни странно, Россия добивается успехов и там, тут и договоренности с Китаем, Индией, с некоторыми странами Африки, некоторыми странами Латинской Америки, противоречия среди членов НАТО, истощение экономик коалиции стран НАТО, при этом рост собственной экономики вопреки санкциям, перевооружение собственной армии, модернизация, переориентирование экспорта и так далее. И это не считая повышения политического веса в мире, рост организации БРИКС, переход на торговлю в собственных валютах и еще много чего. При этом, если посмотреть дала конкурента, то есть на Украину, то разрушение энергосистемы, разрушение экономики, массовая миграция населения, уничтожение армии, колоссальная коррупция, полная зависимость страны от внешних денег, падение курса валюты, инфляция, и так далее, вплоть до того, что даже если конфликт закончится завтра, то Украина не способна выжить без внешнего жизнеобеспечения, и даже если в нее вложат триллионы долларов инвестиций, что конечно же чушь, но даже если произойдет такой фантастический сценарий, то Украине что бы достичь своего уровня 2013 года, понадобится 20-30 лет!!! Так кто же выигрывает в этой так называемой игре?)) И как вы думаете Путин хороший стратег? И если да, то может он, например подготовить более интенсивные действия и результат, в канун выборов президента США? Просто когда я читаю комментарии в стиле "Россия не может победить Украину два года", я понимаю, что этот комментатор не понимает сложности общей стратегии, целей, и то что у России нет ни каких временных рамок, она может в таком режиме, перемалывая украинскую армию, вынуждая страны запада тратить стони миллиардов каждый год, при эти страны будут ухудшать собственную экономику, терять политический вес в мире и так далее, и Россия может так практически неограниченное время, потому что если вы еще раз посмотрите на карту мира, проанализируете историю конфликтов России, например против Наполеона, против Гитлера и так далее, вы увидите, что у России есть одно глобальное преимущество, это стратегическая глубина!)))

@@JimSmithInChiapas Спасибо и вам за понимание. По поводу русского, конечно же, я делаю это намеренно, так как русский - мой родной язык и формулировать мысль мне на нем лучше, но также для того, чтобы люди понимали, что это мнение русского человека. По поводу того, что вам, может, не нравится изложенное, тут мы все равны, на самом деле среди россиян нет ненависти к американцам, европейцам и даже к украинцам в нынешней ситуации, основные претензии у русских и России в целом к внешней политике США и западных стран. Вообще, если вы почитаете историю России или посмотрите, как ведет себя Путин при общении с лидерами и представителями других стран, то вы заметите, что он всегда делает, исходя из принципа равенства сторон, где независимо от геополитического веса страны, насколько она крупная или сильная, он всегда говорит, как с равными себе, если же вы обратите внимание на то, как ведут себя президенты западных стран, особенно США, то это довольно надменное общение, где они считают себя главными и всегда навязывают свое мнение другим. Отсюда довольно часто видны двойные стандарты, где одним можно всё, а остальным нельзя ничего, где в одни и те же ситуации преподносятся не как равноценные, а в зависимости от собственной выгоды. Вот, к сожалению, что привело к противостоянию России со странами НАТО, потому что нарушается основной закон, прописанный в мировом праве: нельзя обеспечивать безопасность одной страны в ущерб безопасности другой! И Россия много раз, на протяжении более 20 лет, говорила об этом и пыталась договориться, но, как я уже сказал, Россию игнорировали, считали «страной-бензоколонкой», в итоге терпение закончилось, и теперь приходится показывать силу. Но я всё равно уверен, что любая война или конфликт заканчиваются переговорами и начинается время подъема и роста, так что я искренне надеюсь, что Россию услышат, поймут, и всё наладится. Мира вам и удачи!

Мало того, что России не нужна территория Украины (Россия как раз-таки выиграла при распаде Союза, уменьшив свою территорию и сконцентрировав нефтяные деньги только внутри страны и не распыляясь на финансирование территории всего бСССР) кроме того, у России есть суперцель - не допустить перерастания этого конфликта в третью мировую. Повторения второй мировой на Евразийском континенте нам точно не нужно. С другой стороны, Россия совместно с Китаем своим Брикс и многополярным миром наступают на пятки гегемону США, и именно России в БРИКС по умолчанию отводится роль силовой "крыши", поэтому чтобы БРИКС был жизнеспособен, Россия вынуждена будет убедительно победить Америку на полях сражений. Где эти поля будут располагаться и дойдет ли до ядерного конфликта между двумя державами пока неясно, но ясно, что смена формации - это игра вдолгую и основные конфликты еще впереди, так что нет смысла сейчас бросать все в топку СВО.

Of all the former Soviet republics, there is the deepest connection between Russia and Ukraine. All states in the world act at some point out of imperialist, self-interested motives. Russia acts like a toxic possessive father who does not want to let go of his daughter, Ukraine, and is doing everything to inflict the greatest possible damage on the last few meters of independence. How can one believe that a nuclear power feels threatened when NATO troops are too close to its border? These are made up reasons.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. As an American that thinks we should have never sent one single penny to Ukr, I agree with your assessment. I also think NATO became obsolete when the USSR fell, and should have been dissolved decades ago. At the very least they should have let Putin join NATO. Of course the corrupt leaders here will not do that as they get $$$$ from the military industrial players and they would lose out if there was not a big enemy in the form of Russia. To avoid typing long explanations over and over, I will sometimes copy and paste part or all of a previous comment.

The basis of Weeb's estimation is quite silly. Multiplying the number of units by the "standard" number of soldiers per unit makes no sense, because there is no standard number of soldiers per unit at this point in the conflict. This is especially true for Russia, which makes extensive use of irregular formations that can be attached to regular units as temporary supplements. Every other source I've seen but this one estimates the number of Russian soldiers set aside for the Kharkiv offensive as somewhere between 40,000 and 50,000, and the number of soldiers actively participating in the offensive as somewhere around 30,000. As usual, he's grabbed a bunch of map updates from Telegram and overlaid them with his entertainingly unhinged commentary.

Ukraine has been blundering along for a decade now, dying simply to expand NATO. They should have adhered to the Minsk II accords they signed. None of this bloodshed is neccesary. And it is backfiring on NATO. They thought this would weaken Russia, instead they are simply allying themselves with China and Iran. And the combat experience against NATO hardware will make them even more dangerous. The only winners in this war are the war profiteers in the West.

The Krynky amphibious assault, was obviously meant to coincide with the push at Robotyne... and the push at Robotyne was clearly meant to push south and capture a section of the railroad... allowing a choke-point of the supply rout for RU forces further west (north of Crimea). The Robotyne push though, never got nearly far enough to get to the railroad. And for some reason, Ukraine committed to Krynky _anyway_ ...which has been nothing but a horrific waste of men & materiel (for about 9 months now). The decision to commit to Krynky (Aug 2023), despite having no control over the railroad to the east... was really when I became certain about the outcome of this conflict. It showed desperation, combined with a willingness to spend lives pointlessly. And Ru has exploited this "eagerness to bleed" over, and over, and over, since that time. No one can say Ukraine lacks courage. But the main idea of war, is not to make the ultimate sacrifice, but to get the _other_ guys to make the ultimate sacrifice. And it's doubly important when you're outnumbered.

I came into conclusion the decisive battle was Bakhmut, 60k inside, 40k reinforcements, the prop squad of the legendary elite legolas and rambo the 72nd left Bakhmut, loses to Wagner. Basically over 100k lost to 50k merc in a defensive battle, not 50k Russian Army who have way more support and 0 prisoner conscripts. To me that was so over.

@kathrynck 29 күн бұрын

@@ajstyles5704 I typed a reply yesterday, but YT ate it. I'll have to be less specific in wording... Basically I agree though. Although the encirclement and artillery bombardment probably more than evened out the odds for Wagner. There was another thing which effected my opinion, a video which leaked early in the 'greatest offensive'... north of Robotyne, there were local commanders who refused to advance without artillery support. They were met by a high-up Ukrainian commander in a bunker. There were heated words. Ultimately the higher up Ukrainian commander made his point with a grenade. Could have been an isolated incident. But if it was even remotely indicative of the systemic approach to chain of command... that boded a very ill omen for Ukraine. Broadly speaking, the main idea in conflict is to get the opposition to be a "remembered hero" for their country. Not be one for yours. (loosely quoting Patton, in the jejune version of english allowed here). It's something particularly important to bear in mind, when outnumbered. That Ukraine had a ranking officer who didn't understand this, and (more importantly) a half dozen fewer local officers who did, painted a very dire picture. Every time I think of Krynky, I think of that video too.

When England sent a military unit to Afghanistan, the Afghans expected lots of support. They were astonished how few soldiers were assigned to combat rules. The number of support personnel was astonishing. So sometimes the word soldiers does not mean most of them will be assigned combat roles.

@jerrybriardy 22 күн бұрын

The US forces that served in Viet Nam largely consisted of support personnel, aproximately 50% of the troops were support. My uncle was a Marine radio operator stationed at Da Nang. He rarely left his base which was simply an American base, a little piece of the USA. In fact they were rarely allowed to leave the base. In his 13 month tour, his entire experience with the Vietnamese people consisted of a meal with the family of a South VN officer, who had invited several US Marines to his home as a gesture of kindness.

They have a constitution that immediately appoints an interim President who is pre-selected for the possibility of such circumstances, same for the foreign minister. The constitution also states that an election must be held within 50 days. I believe a date has been set for late July. The continuity is there, and apparently, foreign policy will not change. It is also expected that, unlike the last election, there will be a huge turnout... so may indeed legitimize this government completely. I'm British and I cannot imagine one other country on earth with a turnout for the funeral of the head statesman, literally millions. Ironically, I was thinking, of immediate 'destabilization' and both Mossad and CIA licking their lips at a great opportunity for regime change! TBH, doing so looks like it could be more difficult than ever now, as Raisi really seems to have left a huge legacy that will have to be continued! Check out a couple of appearances by Scott Ritter reacting on a few channels. He gives an excellent detailed explanation!

The situation in Vovchansk was described in MSN 30.05.2024 as "Putin humiliated as Ukraine reverses Russian offensive victories in dramatic fightback" Russia launched a surprise counteroffensive in Kharkiv earlier this month and many military sources within the Russian army had boasted that they had captured the pivotal town of Vovchansk. However, Ukraine's Defence Forces have now confirmed that Kyiv has regained control of 70 percent of the town, amid fierce ongoing street battles.

Many Ukie brigades by Kharkov have said that they won't mutiny openly, but they refuse to follow orders to attack, since they know they'll just be shelled to bits. And it has been confirmed even by Ukie-loving sources that all Ukie front brigades are down to 40%. And that new conscripts now only get one week of training before being sent to Kharkov. Zelensky is absolutely obsessed with Kharkov, screaming at his generals, clearly afraid - and I'm not saying that as an insult. He was very shaken when the Russians were outside Kiev in 2022. A sabotage unit came within a few hundred meters of his office. He is afraid now that they'll take Kharkov (irrational fear since they clearly have no plans for that) and move to Kiev again. So he putts together this haphazard force in the region. There's a word for it: "Paper tiger."

This was the scene of some of the most bloody fighting in world war 2, with huge number om casualties on both sides. The russians remembers this of course, they know the ukrainians are despereate to hold on to every square foot of land, and are willing to pour reserves in to the bridgehead, despite huge costs.

So, if these marines are are not able to haul vehicles over, why do they even go? Makes no sense. It's suicide mission for clout. Literally.

In WW1 the French army was nearly destroyed by pointlesssy throwing troops into poorly thought out counter attacks against well dug in German positions. It caused a MUTINY that nearly cost France the war. In WW2 Germany had a similarly bloody mindset when they ended up on the defensive more and more despite it being obvious after Kursk no amount of counter attacks could change their position. The biggest casualties the Soviet forces suffered was when the German forces instead chose to focus thier defense on a specific fortified line and wait. Now Ukraine makes the same stupid choice
