Remember don't donate to any global humanitarian companies such as red cross, amnesty international and whatnot.
They take a huge share of donations for their own needs and there are even times that no money makes it to the cause.
The actual first place to go is u24.gov.ua/ this is United24
It is a platform presented by president Zelensky.
Secondly you might choose some volunteers that are helping Ukraine in various areas.
prytulafoundation.org/en
Serhei Prytula foundation is one of the most known ones
Other well-known foundations are Army SOS and Come Back Alive
savelife.in.ua/en/
armysos.com.ua/
For Medical and humanitarian aids you have Leleka Foundations, Razom and United Help Ukraine

You can also see some people on twitter from different parts of Ukraine, but I cannot verify any of those, so do it at your own risk.

Giorgi : MICA-VL, IRIS-T, NASAMS are ALL loaded with air-to-air missiles... These just have shorter range when not launched from a jet fighter at high altitude and 1000km/h or more... You also have ManPADS mounted on helicopters and the Mistral ManPADS has been successfully tested against speedboats, and, guess what? TOW or Javelin anti-tank missiles have been successfully used to... shoot down helicopters (!)
Coffee for Georgie ☕ 👍
@@duncanwalker7125thank you, Duncan ❤
hi brother, thanks for your thoughs on Ukraine and the World.
Thank you Georgijs. Disappointing that there are still fascist supporting politicians in Western Europe. But they are most likely bought by Mordor.
@UkraineMatters, Ukraine must win, as you state, a just peace. You're correct in your assessment of a "shittier world" should Russia be allowed to walk away with more than Ukraine is prepared to concede. Thanks for keeping up the side!
I wonder what tune these world leaders would sing when its their country is being invaded. How obtuse.
This is the same issue that Isreal faces with people complaining over how they handle Hamas. It is very easy to force other people to stop securing their people or exercising their rights when you have nothing riding on it yourself. People should try to actually step into the mind of the people who lose their loved ones or have their security threatened at every turn. I'm sure most people would accept 100 random strangers killed over their own family if they had to make a choice.
@@MrCABman1972 I agree that's like a bully attacking someone but everyone telling the victim to not fight back
@@aviationismylife6814 It would be the same logic to ask the allies of WW2 to stop at the German border and force them to make peace with the Nazi government. That is not how you defeat an actual enemy if you can help it.
Exactly, who attacked first?@@MrCABman1972
They would probably flee
100% agree with you! Russia needs to learn that aggression is not worth it, and that you loose if you do it.
Never appease a dictator.
Estonia is an excellent example. Peace with deportations is no peace.
Yes!

Yes. Jake Sullivan has been a huge part of the problem from the start. He is an idiot, a naive p*ssy, and/or he has been surreptitiously receiving Russian oligarch money...

Hi Alie.
There is a Colonel in the Chechen Army called "Cack'em "
( I might have got the spelling wrong, .... ).
it's sadly amazing that some people think that it is ok to talk peace with something that is trying to conquer you ;;;
Easy for people not involved as well. Who is being bombed? Not Jake Sullivan and the peaceniks. Let them shut the F up.
Greetings from Los Angeles, California, USA, Georgie!!
Keep in mind the US has 6,200 M2 Bradley’s in storage. They could give another 250 Bradley’s to Ukraine and not even put a dent in their stocks.
Current deliveries will include 200 latest model upgrades with newest active defense features.
I have no idea why these don't get shipped. Most likely Ukrainians would even help to refurbish them enough to get them moving. No budget problem either, as their budgetary worth is somewhere near that of scrap metal.
US is trying to build a new infantry vehicle. Give tech info to Ukraine and let them build their own with whatever improvememts they can develop.
glennbroc that's what all countries could be doing.
The Americans don’t want the Bradley’s, they say that they are like the A10 tank buster a waste of time. They want to scrap the equipment, it’s Ukraines luck they can have them. Hopefully the government will listen to the air force and give the A10 to Ukraine as well.
Already last year, before the summer counter-offensive, when many were hyping themselves up with expectations and behaving as if Ukrainian defenders were there for their wish fulfillment, rather than for the liberation of their homeland, I kept telling everyone I knew, at home and abroad: Stop with the expectations, stop with the hype. Ukraine doesn't have all the resources it needs - it would need better airspace dominance for an easier counteroffensive - so you can't expect miracles right away. Ukraine needs to go about this methodically. Methodically and slowly. I even quoted the famous axiom from Herbert's Dune: "The slow blade penetrates the shield."
The invaders' built-up frontline defences cannot be penetrated quickly, or easily, or on the cheap. Anyone expecting Ukraine to achieve what much better equipped militaries find tough to achieve even under much more favourable conditions is both kidding themselves and backhandedly insulting Ukraine's effort and sacrifice thus far. If the west seems to have finally woken up to the fact they need to build up their own defensive stockpiles and need to build up Ukrainian stockpiles and supplies as well, I'm hopeful we'll finally leave behind this phase of stupid suggestions about ceasefires, or suggestions about giving Ukraine barely enough materiel to defend itself, and fight "on the cheap" for the rest of the west. No, that will not achieve results, certainly not if Ukraine's allies want to see a proper counteroffensive by Ukraine.
If Ukraine's allies want to see a proper Ukrainian counteroffensive, they need to support the Ukrainian defence industry and Ukrainian defence, until Ukraine has an adequate capability at defending its attacked territory and starting to gradually liberate its occupied territory from the invaders. There will be no successful counteroffensives if Ukraine's allies keep treating Ukraine like some foolish junior partner, when Ukraine clearly isn't that, doesn't want to be that, and wants to be a serious equal partner instead. If the western allies want a serious mutual relationship as allies with Ukraine, they need to immediately stop talking down to Ukraine, and start treating Ukraine as a serious equal. The time for dithering or for token gestures of support is over. It's high time to support Ukraine as much as possible, for Ukraine to be able to do proper counter-offensives to liberate its territory.
That is one of the best comments I have read regarding the counteroffensive
I actually believe Ukraine did extremely well during their last counteroffensive considering they virtually had no air dominance a yank gave the Russians the counteroffensive details and because of the so called allies not providing enough weapons and ammunition when it was needed Russia had all the time they needed to counter the counteroffensive and Russia still lost ground
As always everything to the point! Thank you Georgie!!!
If Russia wishes to surrender, then we should talk. :^D
Thank you Georgijs for the update, Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava 🇺🇦❤️🙏🇺🇸
The thing itching me most about these calls for ceasefire/truce are that they're always directed towards Ukraine or the west. If these politicians feel a need to get some peace talk blahblah off their chest, they should at least direct their words towards Putin.
Excellent point!
All party's to this conflict should be addressed regarding peace, but Ukraine will only talk "peace" with Russia when Russia have left Ukraine, so Ukraine is out of this, The US is too busy with a upcoming presidential election, so they are out too. Russia have some stated goals from the beginning of the conflict, they have not reach these yet, so they go on, Russia is out too. Not that many left to talk peace.
Thank you Georgijs for the informative chanel,Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You said that right . I don’t want to hear about a Ukrainian offensive until well after it’s started. U.s. would never announce an upcoming offensive it was going to do .
Thank you for the update my friend. Much love and respect from the US. Glory to Ukraine!
Excellent and logical analysis! As an American, I wish that sometimes we would talk less and listen more. As you stated, let Ukraine do what it needs to do, in its own time, as long as it takes.
Thanks for the update, Georgij. 🔱🌻 We'll never stop supporting Ukraine.
Only vaguely acceptable peace deal for Ukraine would be:
- Keeps full military capacity.
- Is able to join the EU.
- Is able to join NATO (the peace deal would require a compromise from all NATO members to not veto Ukraine entrance in the organization).
Ideally, Putin's regime collapses and Ukraine gets all the territories back.
I also agree - forget about the offensive. Russia are the agressors, they burden is on them. Ukrainian lives and resources should be spared and just fight smart.
Europe needs to build the muscle to support Ukraine.

@@georgewashingtom6516 No, the sanctions work. Gazprom is in huge deficit for the first time of its history. The wellness of the russian economy is completely fake. True the production of the military-industrial complex is high, but all the production tanks, drones, trucks, ammunitions is immediately destroyed on the battlefield. It's a net loss. On the human level it's worse, Putin is recruiting 1000 men per day and losing about the same amount or more every day. The labor shortage is so high that they allow kids above 14 to work in factories. Time is working against Putin. It's now a question of months.

Rheinmetall Skynex can even take missiles at high speed out.
The Molotov Ribbentrop Pact is the only treaty Russia has honoured, negotiations are futile.
Western aircraft and the pledged equipment must arrive, before there can be a large offensive.
I read that troops were trained for two armoured Brigades, but the pledged equipment did not arrive.
Only because Germany broke it before Russia had a chance.
No agreement with Putin.
Thanks for the report!
Totaly agree..must be a JUST peace..cant push,pressure Ukraine to give away their land..imagine if that was your country..would you give 10-20% of your land??..its insane,absurd and totaly wrong..to appease Russia,give them what they want,we tryied that last 15+ years..how did that go??
Ukraine could had had 100% of their land as it looked like in 1991 if they just had let NATO stay out of Ukraine, they could even had been a pending member of the EU.
No war, no destruction, all they had to do was give up on the freedom to make stupid desertions like inviting NATO, oh shit I forgot, the US staged a coup in Ukraine and then an unconstitutional Ukrainian government invited NATO, it was not the Ukrainian people that invited NATO into Ukraine, it was a US backed minority that screwed things up.

Ukraine does not give up 1 SQUARE MILLIMETRE OF TERRITORY! PERIOD!
Go to the frontline then
Sound like one of those inbred British Generals in WWI safe 30 miles behind the Front Lines you refused to reposition 300,000 British soldiers stuck on low ground under direct German machine gun fire and German observers fixing enemy positions to the square meter for called-in artillery fire. Almost as bad, the low ground was swampy, rat infested, and where the name "trench foot" originated.
All while the Brit Generals say by a toasty fire and enjoyed hot food and virtue-signaled one another with lines like " The King and I will not allow 1 SQUARE MILLIMETRE OF TERRITORY IN HUN'S HANDS! PERIOD! "Those fools knee deep in mud and other smelly items were told to wash their socks and feet 2X a day. Their own bloody fault!" "Now they are deserting over foot discomfort , and I say shoot the deserters. " HIs Majesty's Army simply never, ever falls back.
HItler failed to learn the lesson at Stalingrad and Moscow in 1942 and lost even more than the 250,000 the idiot Brit generals lost in the swamp trenches.
UKies don't cede land, they die or get to live and try to flee a defeated and broken Ukraine.

Remarkable how well the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle (deployed in the 1980's, modernized since) is performing in the Ukraine. They were seldom tested before.
Alternatively, the Russians seem to be reviving the WW2 "Hobart's Funnies" concept.
I would expect Ukranian to have surplus Bradley crews to already have familiarity with the vehicle, they would have rotated men through them and when their have been losses of Bradley vehicles the crews have survived to fight again.

No matter the outcome of this war, Russia has already destroyed itself, they are at the bottom of the barrel now in terms of reputation with the west and most other "sane" countries. They will not recover from this for another 30-100 years. I bet that Russia as the state we know today, will seize to exist within 10-20+ years. The entire country will be split up between "new countries" mainly parts of Siberia, there is tons of ppl know within Russia, that dont want anything to do with Russia, Just like formet soviet union states like Poland, Lituhania, Estonia, want zero things to do with Russia anymore.

I love your clear and truthful messages to all these ass kisses of Russia it is a symptom of a sad and pathetic world love your work mate keep it up from Mike in Oz
This Polish guy at 11:05 is a manipulated supporter of pro-russian political party, which is a minority in Poland, but they are very loud. In the last election they got 7% of the votes. I Apolagize for him, the overwhelming majority of Poles support Ukraine.
Good to hear, i do am very weary of these movements in different country’s
Thanks to the Poles standing up for what is right in the world!
Especially because the wolf is at your front fence.
I haven't heard of a pro russian party in poland, especially one with 7% of the votes.
Yeah, I think the Polish government see this as their fight too. They are investing in defence supposedly, as they realise the threat posed by Putin.
There are fools like this everywhere. Just look at my country and the hardcore MAGA base, which is about 15% of the country. They say the same exact type of things. The more inexplicable thing is Polish farmers not realizing that it’s massive imports of Russian grain that is impacting prices, not Ukrainian grain.
What soviet Sullivan is saying means he would give Alaska away to an aggressor.
Excellent reporting and analyzing.
If we listened to the idiots in the media, and Russian appeasement politicians, Ukraine may as well give up the fight. This is where your channel, and others, like Jake Broe's, are important for giving us current and accurate information, rather than media hype and hysteria.
Because the Russians understand how the western media works and tailor the messages to have maximum impact. Also don't care about losses... so they try some moves that might not have any meaning strategically, but helps to push their narrative. Most journalists are complete idiots, they just become megaphone for the Kremlin propaganda.
Stanobert. So what you're saying is that you prefer comforting falsehoods to worrying facts?
@@Samuel-hd3cpthe media only reports on stuff that is gonna get them views. Mainstream barely reported on Ukraine for months. But ik for a fact that Jake bro has giving us factual info... Hes giving it as it is, he's told the worrying shit that Ukraine didn't have enough shells and missiles and this and that.
@@Samuel-hd3cpI don't read anything like that in his post...
there are definitely concerning facts but here are the biggest undeniable ones:
Russia failed at its strategic aims in week 1.
Russia still cannot manifest anything meaningful beyond what it currently holds in the east.
The West and allies now seem galvanised in support of Ukraine and economically can outfund Russia substantially in terms of military aid.
Ukraine has a manpower issue it would be silly to ignore that, but in spite of that Russia is still not making any meaningful gains.
At this point I would even argue that new recruits in to the Ukrainian armed forces are better trained than their Russian counterparts. That and the addition of technological overmatch will hopefully help counterbalance the personnel disparity.
While I agree they will only get one shot at defeating russia, it’s not true to say they had a shot at it in 2023. They were not given half the equipment they were promised and got no aircraft at all. They were expected to pull a rabbit out of a hat, but were not given the hat much less the rabbit, or the magic wand.
Expecting a NATO style battle plan, without the NATO style equipment is delusional. What happened last year was a resounding success, given the circumstances they were dropped in.
Imagine how much better they could have done, if everyone had followed through on their promises.
This time around, hopefully we’ll be more reliable, the Americans won’t get cold feet again, as their election looms, and the Ukrainians will be better prepared for being let down unexpectedly.
So they’ll make achievable promises, based on worst case scenario delivery rates, which they’ll then exceed, when things go better.
Setting the bar low and beating it is a much better look than setting it high and failing. Hopefully they’ve learned that lesson.
They’ve already shown they’re capable of far exceeding the reasonable expectations for any given level of preparedness, so if we actually prepare them for victory, they’ll do it, with capacity to spare.
Ukraine really needs more trained officers at the middle command levels (captain, major, colonel). They have expanded their army considerably (around 5-fold), but lack experience operating units larger than the brigade level. I know I will likely get flamed for that statement, but leading at the divisional, brigade or regimental level requires a different skill set to leading at the company level. It is these middle management levels of that enable units to conduct large breakthroughs and keep them supplied.
Ukraine does have this potential. They showed this during the Kharkiv Offensive using mostly Soviet-era equipment. What they need now is more officers trained to conduct that sort of offensive, so if a breakthrough occurs they can exploit it fully and really deliver a bloody nose to Putin.
@@nicholasconder4703constructive criticism should be welcomed. This is what we need to hear. Ukraine's mistakes and how to fix them.
Last summer's "failure" was not so much Ukraine's as it was the fault of supporters slow-walking the military aid. That is what gave Putin time to dig in.
Not supplying air cover was a big mistake.
@@carolwilliams8511exactly. They trained the Ukrainians on western style tactics. The problem is, it’s all centered around total air superiority, which Ukraine most certainly doesn’t have.
With the new F-16s, things are likely to start looking very different next time around.
@@hisdudeness8328Yeah, hard to fight like the American army when you have a fraction of the overall equipment and manpower
I’m a numpty 😂 I’ve just posted on the wrong video, from 3 days ago, ah well, it all helps the algorithm.
Many thanks Georgji 🙏❤️ I feel the relocation of the Black Sea fleet was a huge success of the summer Ukrainian counter offensive.
The west expect so much from Ukraine whilst giving so little - yet without a navy to talk of they achieved awesome results.
Expecting combined arms manoeuvre on land without all the elements was unfair of the west, yet Ukraine continues to perform miracles ❤️💛💙🇺🇦🇬🇧❤️
10:19 the armament on this vehicle is produced by Rheinmetall, and looks like it can be extremely effective. The rounds are fused via a sonic sensor which determines range to the drones at the time of flight (ie when they leave the barrel) and the shell explodes into fragments about 30 feet from the drones, so a single shell becomes a wide blast fragmentation area which is capable of taking down the majority of drones on the battlefield as they are soft-bodied and the propellers are very susceptible to damage. I share the concerns about how effective it would be against a very fast moving attack drone, but I’m pretty sure they’d be effective against high-flying surveillance drones when they are detected as they are typically not moving as quickly. I guess we’ll find out soon enough and hopefully they are very helpful to the UAF.

“A bad peace is worse than war.”
― Tacitus
Tacitus died long before total war. He would not say that if he was alive now
@@juliantheapostate8295 I'm not so sure. Hard to say what he would say if he was alive today. What do you think he would say if he was observing the geopolitical situation in the world today? It wouldn't surprise me if he could find some similarities from today and his time. If you haven't read Thucydides "History of the Peloponnesian war" I would highly recommend it. I believe it is read in basically every war college in the world (certainly in the US). It is a Greek book written Late 5th century BC hundreds of years before Tacitus and many US military officers are still learning lessons from it today.
