Pretty much anyone who's we even vaguely familiar with the modern military operations knew this would be never an option, unfortunately , since the prolonged war is significantly worse for all sides involved.
it would have ended if russia was competent enough to have enough gas and supplies for their troops. NATO wasn't even sending weapons and Russia still lost in Kiev for their own fault (and Ukrainian determination to fight), and they still had to retreat from north and northeast of Ukraine lmao
I thought it would last a few months. I just didn't think Ukraine had the armament to last much longer. I expected the western Ukraine to survive around Lviv.

The Wagner revolt happened around the time when Skibidi Toilet was at its peak popularity. Skibidi Toilet is also very popular in Russia and the maker of it was born in Russia and went to Georgia after the war started. What could this mean?
Russian invasion started long before, you can see in 2014 (august 26-28) when Russia crossed the border. You can look up on wikipedia what came after... Ukraine would have won in 2014 otherwise.
Sorry I forgot to include the battle's name. It's called the battle of Ilovaisk. Fought almost entirely by regular Russian army troops. And that was in 2014!
You'd think a supposed super power like Russia, with all it's military might would be able to defeat a much smaller neighbor. Maybe Russia isn't so powerful after all. And the Ukrainians are far tougher than anyone thought. Slava Ukraini!
keep telling yourself that, Russia with 120k soldiers doing pretty good, if you have in mind that ukraine had around 300k, it usually takes a 3:1 advantage to successfully invade a territory and control it, so Russia did the job with only 10% of the 900k soldiers needed. Pretty impressive if you ask me. Plus Ukraine was a top 5 European army at the time of the ivnasion. Did it go as smoothly as Russia planned? Of course not, but it never does, that's war@@Pnaraasi94

In 2014 the protests were not only in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. For instance,Odessa,Kharkiv,Mykolaiv. In these regions and cities were a huge number of protests against new authority of Ukraine which had been staying after events that know as "Maidan". But the most dreadful and chaos battles were in Donbass region. Definitely,before 24.02.2022.

Slavs can't live in peace unless they're ruled by foreigners. That's why the most prosperous slavic states were Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, Holy Roman Empire(Had Czechs and Slovenes) and Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Compared to Polish-Litthuanian Commonwealth(half Baltic, constantly fighting itself, partitioned), Yugoslavia(Collapsed with bloody ethnic wars), USSR(Same as Yugoslavia but the wars got delayed) and russian empire(Run by tsars who spoke French and had German blood, kept it's people as slaves, became a filthy backwater and lost WW1 despite being on the winning team).
True they literally don’t do anything else but kill each other and still they are very clear about the “brother thing” or atleast the Russians are. Ukrainians not so much anymore
Probably not. The win in Avdiivka has increased Russian morale and I think Russia will try to take Kherson again this year. Russia took Kherson in 2022 but then Ukraine took it back. If Russia can regain control of Kherson, it would be a blow to Ukraine's morale considering all Ukraine did to make Kherson Ukrainian again. I think Odesa and Kharkiv are off limits for this year. But in 2025, Russia will try to take at least one of these two cities. Ukraine will of course fiercely resist. My guess is this war is only going to end in 2026-2027.
They are not stagnant. Little changes there and there, with casualties every day. It's now about who's gonna run out of forces first, not about "encirclements" and "breakthroughs" that HOI players are used to
We don't hear much about them for two reasons: first, Russia doesn't want us to know about them, and second because they need to keep their own operations secret to have any chance at success. That said, I've been following the war somewhat closely for the past two years, and from daily reports from multiple sources, I've heard of: - Partisans providing key intelligence for Ukrainian cruise missile strikes (even in Crimea) - Partisans sabotaging Russian supply lines (on rare occasion, this even happens deep within Russia proper, and that's the only time the mainstream media ever talks about it) - Partisans assassinating mid-level officers and notorious collaborators. In short, they're doing the sorts of things the Free French forces did, but if you watch a day-by-day battle map of WWII in Europe, you wouldn't really be able to notice their contributions. (On another note, though many videos of Russian military equipment is posted on the internet by random by-standers, some of it is intentionally sought out and posted by partisan groups such as Atesh and Yellow Ribbon. This is useful for more than just propaganda, it also provides critical battle-damage assessment for Ukrainian long-distance strike forces, so they can gauge how successful their strikes are against military targets). EDIT: For those curious about operations deep within Russia, I can think of a few legendary exploits off the top of my head. There was one instance where some guy walked hundreds of miles on foot in the dead of Russian winter to sabotage an Su-35S fighter and was never caught (more likely a group of people). More importantly, sometime after N. Korea agreed to ships artillery shells to Russia, someone detonated a bomb in a tunnel that all shipments from Korea must pass through to reach the rest of the trans-Siberian railroad - Russian military logistics are heavily dependent on rails (that last one was probably special forces, not resistance, though).
Сомневаюсь, что кто-то не знал про существование одной из самых больших стран Европы. А то что они поддерживают Украину - это нормально.

Exactly 2 years ago, we all thought that Ukraine would fall in weeks and that the war would be swift. Now it has been 2 years since the full-scale invasion began, and there is no end in sight, and of top of that, thousands of human lives have been lost on both sides.
If Russia wanted it to be over in that time they could have made it so, but likely for political/humanitarian reasons (many Russians would see Ukrainians as national cousins and would not want to impose more pain on them than is necessary for the greater good) Russia withdrew from many theatres of operation. Only the battle of Kharkov and 2nd battle of Lyman can be considered full fighting victories for Ukraine. The rest were voluntary retreats/withdrawals by the Russians but still count as victories for Ukraine in the general sense.
@@andrewmckenzie292 That's bullshit and you know it. "humanitarian reasons" have never been a consideration. A Russia that cared about "humanitarian reasons" would not have invaded another country. They would not have massacred the civilians living in Bucha, they would not have blown the Nova Kakhovka dam and flooded the lowlands. Russia withdrew from many theateres because the resistance of the Ukrainians (who wanted no part in Russias "humanitarianism") forced their hand.
@@andrewmckenzie292 You guys suck. Cope harder. If the Russian military was competent, Ukraine would be conquered without many casualties on both sides.

@@IsseKonja US openly supported the overthrow of the elected government in Ukraine/2014. As Putin eluded to in his interview with Tucker Carlson if the pro-western areas want to be separate from Russia so be it but the imposed 2014 Kiev regime also applied to those areas that did not support the coup, in effect US was taking the side that happened to align more with US hegemonic interests (ensuring Russia does not become a rival to US in Europe) rather than moral considerations. Ukraine will likely split roughly in half (in line with election results). Northern and north western Ukraine will likely become a strictly neutral state while southern and eastern Ukraine will become part of Russia to one degree or another. US has supported many questionable regimes before, but this attempt was unusually brazen...underestimating Russia's willingness to retaliate.

There should have been more notes on particular events of 2014 - like, about MH17, about direct russian involvement causing a major turn in the war and about their involvement overall
US OPENLY supported the VIOLENT overthrow of the elected government in Ukraine/2014. This new regime was IMPOSED on Crimea/Donbass and other areas nearby that voted for the original elected President. In the US/western view they were expected to recognize the new regime that was imposed on them and involved the violent overthrow of their preferred President (Yanukovych). This would be like more than half of Americans being expected to follow a President that was imposed on them by illegitimate and probably illegal methods...oh wait. Seems a bit co-incidental that Biden who was the main beneficary of this action was also a senior member of the administration that oversaw the events in Ukraine/2014.

What's actually crazier isn't even that, but how much Ukraine's armed forces have changed. Back then, they were in an extremely precarious state. They were completely disorganised and badly equipped. Quite literally, they couldn't put up a fight in Crimea against Russian forces and in the Donbas region they struggled against well equipped russian militias. Nowadays instead they are holding off a nuclear superpower, they are well equipped, well trained and well organised. Their command structure is indeed efficient and responsive and most importantly they have a lot of western equipment and training which did pay off. Simply put: if Russia tried to pull off the hostomel airport raid in 2014, Ukraine would not have been able to respond the way it did in 2022

Great work. Could you add percentages of territory held by Ukraine. I believe the current break down is roughly 83% of Ukraine is under Ukraine's control and Russia occupies approximately 17%. I know it will take some doing but I'd be very interested in the exact percentages as of now.
6:02 "The world does not recognize this annexation" I don't see why? When the USA illegally invaded Iraq, did the world raise a finger? When Russia invades Ukraine, everybody cries themselves stupid. Like what? I don't support war, but such bias should not exist.
DID USA annex or try to annex Iraq? No! Yes their invasion of Iraw was based lies/false information, no one is denying that. But US didnt annex Iraq and even if its regime was changed, let me remind you that Saddam Hussein himself was a dictator who started wars against Iran and Quwait and was hated by many Iraq citizens. There are few who miss him or his regime. Meanwhile Russia is waging a war in full purpose to destroy Ukraine as independent nation and annex it as part or Russia.

When ukraine got invaded two years ago, everyone expected Kyiv to fall in a week. But, the ZSU fought back and went on to win back Kherson city at the end of 2022. However, Russia's defenses are too strong in the south and east. Don't think that the Ukrainian Armed Forces can overcome them.

Crazy how there have not been any major changes since ukraine retook kherson. You gotta remember, cities like avdiivka and bakhmut are actually minor cities population wise, yet all we hear about in the news are these 2 cities, although nowadays no one really talks about bakhmut anymore. That all just goes to show that we've reached the point of a stalemate. With every passing day it gets harder to believe that either side is gonna win this. I feel like this war is gonna drag on for a loooong time, until one side just calls it quits.
with stalemate comes attrition, and ukraine cannot win a war of attrition against a neighbor with 7 times the population and 10 times the military spending.

It is very hypocritical to talk about annexation when the EU and US allowed the collapse of Yugoslavia and supported Kosovo.

@@kipkipper-lg9vl Time will tell, as the only reason it fell was due to a shortage of ammunition because of a lack of western aid. But if that situation changes and Ukraine is properly supplied and equipped then they could recapture Avdiivka and the other lost territory.

It's surprising to me how this war is mostly a stalemate really. Like Russia is literally Russia and has a huge border with Ukraine and yet Ukraine somehow stands
Strangely, the author talks about the Russian-Ukrainian war, for example, in 2015 or 2017. There was a civil war in Ukraine at that time, and the Russian army was in Russia. The OSCE monitoring mission did not see the Russian army.

As someone who is married to someone from Luhansk: you are incorrect. My partner's entire family and their neighbors lived in fear for many months in 2014 when Russian soldiers began to appear in their city. The city was flooded with armed Russians more and more each day, and slowly all pro-Ukrainian families began to leave the city fearing for their lives, including my partner's family, due to the hostility of these armed people and the wildly aggressive rallies led by these strangers who had never grown up in Luhansk, who had never been to Luhansk before 2014. They were strangers. Locals didn't view this as a "civil war." It was an invasion.

Odd that the didn’t mention China, India, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Syria, Somalia etc because they’re sending our country soldiers, wespons money, and ammo.
It's weird to think how this war has gotten so small but yet there's more casualties than ever- at the beginning people were expecting huge swathes of territory and major Ukrainian cities (perhaps even Kyiv) to quickly fall to Russia. Now, it seems like every small village of only a few hundred people ends up being bitterly contested for months before being hailed as a major victory. Neither side has advanced more than 10 miles or so in almost a year and a half.
@@TopMusic-rf3mt It's been a year since Bakhmut, and they're still trying to take Chasiv Yar which is only a few miles away. Avdiivka took several months as well. It will take them several years to reach the Dnipro, let alone Kyiv.
This war began much earlier, in 2014 only the hot phase began. In 1993, I read a document in English, the authors of which were very interested in Ukrainians who were fighting (at that time) against Russians in Chechnya under red-black flags. The document contained a map of Ukraine, divided into six or seven parts, contained photos of Bandera, etc. I still interesting - at that time who created this document and, most importantly, why?
The generally accepted symbol of Russia is a bear, and the symbol of Ukraine is usually portrayed as a nightingale. Probably similar scales based on economy, Military size, population, and the like. But the fact Ukraine managed to hold off an opponent that out did them on nearly every metric except morale, is really impressive. Also an amusing mental image of a bird beating up a bear.
At the start of the invasion, Ukraine had a bigger army in the field than Russia, let that sink in for a moment. That simple fact gives credit to the claim of it being a 'special military operation (at least at the start before conscripting and consolidating). They never built up enough army to conquer or occupy entire Ukraine. It's too big for the force they mustered. That also again gives credit to that claim. The initial peace deal would have Russia withdraw fully again and Ukraine not becoming part of NATO or EU. end of war, Minsk accords were upheld.
@@AwoudeXWhat bullshit are you yapping here? The Russian army was not nearly as prepared for the invasion as it should habe been beacause Putin naively thought Ukraine would crumble under his military might. The insane overestimation of his army and likely his ignorance towards corruption led to this embarasing military failure that is the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Kiev in 3 days huh?
@@alexeistrife56 learn to read, in the almost finished peace deal, that was on the table, Russia would've, as in it didn't happen because they didn't arrive at peace.
Not entirely stalemate, Russia did conquer Avdiivka just recently. But for sure it just shows that neither Russia nor Ukraine has had the required force to make big breakthroughs, though at the moment Russians are pushing and Ukranians are having hard time with lack of ammunition, which is why its absolutely critical for west to send significantly more aid there if west ever wants Ukraine to hold their lines, let alone dream of winning this war. At the moment its war of attrition which Russia is slowly winning because they have ramped up their war production while aid from US has stopped for the moment because of Republicans in the House and meanwhile Europe still hasnt managed to get their own weapon production up to speed. More European countries should take example of Denmark who gave up pretty much their entire artillery shells to Ukraine as well as all their old F16s If USA would give Ukraine all the tanks, IFVS and their soon to be retired fleets of old fighters, this war could turn around back to Ukrainians favor but unfortunately west seems weak and not bold enough to make the decisions necessary. And I dont think many yet realize the danger of the situation what would follow if Putin is allowed to win and annex Ukraine or even given partial victory.

There is no annexation. In 2014, there was a coup in Ukraine and as a result, new states were formed. And Crimea has become Russian. Referendums in 3 regions were legal. To not recognize them is to ignore the legal facts. And Russia did not come to Crimea. Russia has ALREADY been in Crimea, because the Black Sea fleet and thousands of Russian soldiers are in Crimea even BEFORE 2014.
4:30 Okay, but why is it not mentioned Daily Full Report No. 40/2022, published by the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) on February 21, 2022, according to which 2,158 ceasefire violations were recorded, including 1,100 explosions during the period(! !!)February 18 to February 20? And guess from whose controlled territory the muzzle flashes were recorded and from whose side the explosions were recorded.
wikipedia gives Odessa and Donbass as alternate spellings, and they're also more accurate in terms of representing the pronunciations, as single 'S's in both would be pronounced like a 'Z' (see words like has, laser, and applause). using 'S's is clearer about the pronunciation and still pretty accepted, so i don't think they're really misspellings
@@jatgreen2995 check out Wiki once more and you'll see that "alternate variants" are actually "Russian spellings", meaning they're officially wrong to use to Ukrainian toponyms
@@jatgreen2995 "Odessa" kinda makes sense because it's a greek-inspired name derived from the ancient city of Οδησσός (Odessos). But "Donbass" doesn't, it's literally "Donets coal basin". You wouldn't say 'bassin'.
@@ayararesara6253 oh very interesting, i didn't actually know that. i think i'd still be somewhat inclined to spell it Donbass though. the ukrainian etymology doesn't really work in english (it'd have to be pronounced to rhyme with "base" to match "basin"). instead it seems more sensible to translate the full ukrainian word into english, with english spelling rules, instead of reforming the word from english ones
The occupation of crimea was the thing that really got me strongly interested in world affairs (i remember the Arab spring aswell, but i was still too young). I have been following the conflict ever since, but until 3 years ago it only looked like a frozen conflict similar to other russian breakaway states like Abkhazia. Then came the big russian "drills" and a lot of people panicked. Many however (including now adult me) thought nothing of it. Russia could not possibly be stupid enough to invade. But then on february 24th the invasion came. We then saw how bad of an idea it was to invade, but they continued fighting. Now the conflict again looks like it´s not moving, but there are way more people dying (or affected in general) by it then from 2014-2022. I hope Ukraine (and their supporters) out last the Russian regimes ability to wage this war.
Sadly the russians have been on the offensive since October '23 and now they've been breaking Ukrainian defenses like in the Avdiivka direction, Kupiansk direction(maybe theyve halted I dunno) and in the Zaporizhia direction towards Orikhiv. The deaths on both sides seems to be about the same (44,000 confirmed for russia and 42,000 confirmed for Ukraine) but Russia can afford and don't care about losing thousands upon thousands of men but Ukraine can't do the same. Sadly it's not going well for Ukraine but it sure as hell wouldn't of gone well if they gave up at the start of the full invasion when the Russians were marching towards Kyiv
-First Zelenski gets installed, highly likely with the help from foreign covert agencies. The pro-Russian leader is chased out of his country and replaced by this actor who is full on pro west. -ethnic Russians are targetted to be 2nd class citizens OR shelled even. -provinces with majority ethnic Russians try to break away from this madness. -Zelenski tries to get into EU/NATO, which is yet another breach of the Minsk accords -Western powers are and have been training soldiers in Ukraine -etc. -Russia invades to protect and secure the ethnic Russian parts and secure a peace deal that ensures the Minsk accords are upheld. Turkey assisted in this peace talk, but Boris Jonson intervened and promised Zelenski the world after which the peace deal was wiped from the table. -Israel tried again, but the same thing happened: Western powers intervened. They now for sure have blood on their hands for prolonging this war. my point? Just countering the many people who think Russia is doing it just to expand or did it for no good reason. There are many reasons, some i consider good/valid, some i don't. another point: this war could've been prevented if western meddling wasn't a thing.

I suggest changing the wording of the 30 September 2022 note. NATO countries and their allies are not "The World". Also, the referendums were no more "shady" than any other referendums anywhere else, and when a democratic referendum decides something, the result of it can't be "illegal". I realize you have a bias, but a little less biased language could be useful.
This war will only end with Russia keeping its gains. Either Ukraine comes to the negotiating table for a settled offer, or the West stops funding the Ukrainian war effort. Russia has made it clear it has the domestic production and desire to keep this war going for as long as necessary, whereas Ukraine is reliant on the whims of foreign leaders.
This seems to be reality, Russia wanted what her neighbors had and is taking it by force, such has been the norm throughout history. Only the collapse of Putins regime will save Ukraine, which could happen if Ukraine achieved major victories on the battle field buuuut…..

Slavs can't live in peace unless they're ruled by foreigners. That's why the most prosperous slavic states were Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, Holy Roman Empire(Had Czechs and Slovenes) and Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Do you think the frontlines will be as stagnant this year as last year?
Yes. This war has evolved into a trench war, after all.
It depends on how NATO is going to be involved. If NATO states keep the current level of involvement then ukrainian resistance will be over in 2024.
Probably not. The win in Avdiivka has increased Russian morale and I think Russia will try to take Kherson again this year. Russia took Kherson in 2022 but then Ukraine took it back. If Russia can regain control of Kherson, it would be a blow to Ukraine's morale considering all Ukraine did to make Kherson Ukrainian again.
I think Odesa and Kharkiv are off limits for this year. But in 2025, Russia will try to take at least one of these two cities. Ukraine will of course fiercely resist. My guess is this war is only going to end in 2026-2027.

We don't hear much about them for two reasons: first, Russia doesn't want us to know about them, and second because they need to keep their own operations secret to have any chance at success. That said, I've been following the war somewhat closely for the past two years, and from daily reports from multiple sources, I've heard of:
- Partisans providing key intelligence for Ukrainian cruise missile strikes (even in Crimea)
- Partisans sabotaging Russian supply lines (on rare occasion, this even happens deep within Russia proper, and that's the only time the mainstream media ever talks about it)
- Partisans assassinating mid-level officers and notorious collaborators.
In short, they're doing the sorts of things the Free French forces did, but if you watch a day-by-day battle map of WWII in Europe, you wouldn't really be able to notice their contributions.
(On another note, though many videos of Russian military equipment is posted on the internet by random by-standers, some of it is intentionally sought out and posted by partisan groups such as Atesh and Yellow Ribbon. This is useful for more than just propaganda, it also provides critical battle-damage assessment for Ukrainian long-distance strike forces, so they can gauge how successful their strikes are against military targets).
EDIT: For those curious about operations deep within Russia, I can think of a few legendary exploits off the top of my head. There was one instance where some guy walked hundreds of miles on foot in the dead of Russian winter to sabotage an Su-35S fighter and was never caught (more likely a group of people). More importantly, sometime after N. Korea agreed to ships artillery shells to Russia, someone detonated a bomb in a tunnel that all shipments from Korea must pass through to reach the rest of the trans-Siberian railroad - Russian military logistics are heavily dependent on rails (that last one was probably special forces, not resistance, though).
Thank you. This is much better than going through numerous different maps.

Exactly 2 years ago, we all thought that Ukraine would fall in weeks and that the war would be swift. Now it has been 2 years since the full-scale invasion began, and there is no end in sight, and of top of that, thousands of human lives have been lost on both sides.
If Russia wanted it to be over in that time they could have made it so, but likely for political/humanitarian reasons (many Russians would see Ukrainians as national cousins and would not want to impose more pain on them than is necessary for the greater good) Russia withdrew from many theatres of operation.

There should have been more notes on particular events of 2014 - like, about MH17, about direct russian involvement causing a major turn in the war and about their involvement overall
I see, the video in general omits many events by purpose.
Still, I think there should’ve been a note about the Minsk agreement taking place
US OPENLY supported the VIOLENT overthrow of the elected government in Ukraine/2014. This new regime was IMPOSED on Crimea/Donbass and other areas nearby that voted for the original elected President. In the US/western view they were expected to recognize the new regime that was imposed on them and involved the violent overthrow of their preferred President (Yanukovych). This would be like more than half of Americans being expected to follow a President that was imposed on them by illegitimate and probably illegal methods...oh wait. Seems a bit co-incidental that Biden who was the main beneficary of this action was also a senior member of the administration that oversaw the events in Ukraine/2014.

first 8 years were mostly just the rebels in Donbas
What's actually crazier isn't even that, but how much Ukraine's armed forces have changed. Back then, they were in an extremely precarious state. They were completely disorganised and badly equipped. Quite literally, they couldn't put up a fight in Crimea against Russian forces and in the Donbas region they struggled against well equipped russian militias. Nowadays instead they are holding off a nuclear superpower, they are well equipped, well trained and well organised. Their command structure is indeed efficient and responsive and most importantly they have a lot of western equipment and training which did pay off. Simply put: if Russia tried to pull off the hostomel airport raid in 2014, Ukraine would not have been able to respond the way it did in 2022

Then the war wouldve looked a lot more different.

with stalemate comes attrition, and ukraine cannot win a war of attrition against a neighbor with 7 times the population and 10 times the military spending.

This really puts into context how small Russian gains in the past year or so have been. Everyone freaks out about Severodonetsk, Bakhmut and now Avdiivka, but it's clear from the map that these are nowhere close to making up for the Ukrainian counter-offensives in Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts back in 2022. There have been no large gains for either side in over a year.

I was born and raised in Kuban (southern part of Russia). I have relatives in Crimea. And I am irritated by the words about the annexation of Crimea. I asked in 2014, after the referendum, and the population of Crimea wanted to return to Russia. Just read the history of Russia.
It is very hypocritical to talk about annexation when the EU and US allowed the collapse of Yugoslavia and supported Kosovo.
@MajinBuu-oo3vn "Yugoslavia collapsed on its own" - yeah, tell that to the people of Belgrade.
"Also maybe Mongolia should invade Russia since they used to rule you going by that logic." - yeah, and the Americans should return the land to the Indians, and Ireland should become free from Britain. I understood you correctly? And the main reason for the war is not the desire to seize Ukraine, but to prevent NATO from getting closer to the borders of the Russian Federation. Just read their laws before the war and stop speaking the words of your propaganda.

I understand that you will pretend that the Russians have not pursued a policy of Russification of ethnic minorities for hundreds of years, have not committed dozens if not hundreds of genocides, and have not occupied Eastern Europe for decades.
@@owoc8260 You have a sick imagination. What is genocide? - it is an action committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, any national, ethnic, racial, religious or other historically formed cultural-ethnic group. Was this in Russia? - no. Around the 1600s there was an expansion of territories, but there is not a single example of genocide (some skirmishes with natives - yes). You can compare this with the British colonies - the British destroyed up to 90-95% of the Australian Aborigines when they colonized the continent / in the 1870s "the British carried out the genocide of the Zulus in the Cape Colony, and in 1954-1961 - the genocide of the Kikuyu people in Kenya." "In response to the murder of 32 white colonists, the English authorities killed 300,000 representatives of the Kikuyu people and drove another 1.5 million people into camps. These are the first examples from Google.
About Russification. In Kuban we speak Russian and a little Ukrainian. Moreover, we have Adyghe, Circassian, Turkish languages and about 100 nationalities. In Moscow, for more than a year, there was an exhibition where there were stands of all regions and nationalities of our country. Genocide, right?)))

Now, it seems like every small village of only a few hundred people ends up being bitterly contested for months before being hailed as a major victory. Neither side has advanced more than 10 miles or so in almost a year and a half.

You probably don't follow this conflict at all. In the Avdeevka area alone, Russia has walked almost 25 kilometers over the past 2 weeks.
@@TopMusic-rf3mt It's been a year since Bakhmut, and they're still trying to take Chasiv Yar which is only a few miles away. Avdiivka took several months as well. It will take them several years to reach the Dnipro, let alone Kyiv.
This war began much earlier, in 2014 only the hot phase began.
In 1993, I read a document in English, the authors of which were very interested in Ukrainians who were fighting (at that time) against Russians in Chechnya under red-black flags. The document contained a map of Ukraine, divided into six or seven parts, contained photos of Bandera, etc.
I still interesting - at that time who created this document and, most importantly, why?
The generally accepted symbol of Russia is a bear, and the symbol of Ukraine is usually portrayed as a nightingale. Probably similar scales based on economy, Military size, population, and the like. But the fact Ukraine managed to hold off an opponent that out did them on nearly every metric except morale, is really impressive. Also an amusing mental image of a bird beating up a bear.
At the start of the invasion, Ukraine had a bigger army in the field than Russia, let that sink in for a moment. That simple fact gives credit to the claim of it being a 'special military operation (at least at the start before conscripting and consolidating). They never built up enough army to conquer or occupy entire Ukraine. It's too big for the force they mustered. That also again gives credit to that claim.
The initial peace deal would have Russia withdraw fully again and Ukraine not becoming part of NATO or EU. end of war, Minsk accords were upheld.
@@AwoudeXWhat bullshit are you yapping here? The Russian army was not nearly as prepared for the invasion as it should habe been beacause Putin naively thought Ukraine would crumble under his military might. The insane overestimation of his army and likely his ignorance towards corruption led to this embarasing military failure that is the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Kiev in 3 days huh?
@@AwoudeXRussia fully withdraw to their new borders that happen to include all of Ukraine, yeah.
@@alexeistrife56 learn to read, in the almost finished peace deal, that was on the table, Russia would've, as in it didn't happen because they didn't arrive at peace.
@@AwoudeX learn to read, in the peace deal that never would've happened, that never existed, as Russia wanted to annex Ukraine.
Damn, so it's just been a boring stalemate for one year now
exactly my thoughts tho it's bad that people still die everyday
Not entirely stalemate, Russia did conquer Avdiivka just recently. But for sure it just shows that neither Russia nor Ukraine has had the required force to make big breakthroughs, though at the moment Russians are pushing and Ukranians are having hard time with lack of ammunition, which is why its absolutely critical for west to send significantly more aid there if west ever wants Ukraine to hold their lines, let alone dream of winning this war. At the moment its war of attrition which Russia is slowly winning because they have ramped up their war production while aid from US has stopped for the moment because of Republicans in the House and meanwhile Europe still hasnt managed to get their own weapon production up to speed.
More European countries should take example of Denmark who gave up pretty much their entire artillery shells to Ukraine as well as all their old F16s
If USA would give Ukraine all the tanks, IFVS and their soon to be retired fleets of old fighters, this war could turn around back to Ukrainians favor but unfortunately west seems weak and not bold enough to make the decisions necessary. And I dont think many yet realize the danger of the situation what would follow if Putin is allowed to win and annex Ukraine or even given partial victory.

There is no annexation. In 2014, there was a coup in Ukraine and as a result, new states were formed. And Crimea has become Russian. Referendums in 3 regions were legal. To not recognize them is to ignore the legal facts. And Russia did not come to Crimea. Russia has ALREADY been in Crimea, because the Black Sea fleet and thousands of Russian soldiers are in Crimea even BEFORE 2014.
great copium
4:30 Okay, but why is it not mentioned Daily Full Report No. 40/2022, published by the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) on February 21, 2022, according to which 2,158 ceasefire violations were recorded, including 1,100 explosions during the period(! !!)February 18 to February 20? And guess from whose controlled territory the muzzle flashes were recorded and from whose side the explosions were recorded.
A little nitpick about the names - Dnipro was renamed from "Dnipropetrovsk" only in May 19th 2016 and Odesa and Donbas are spelled with one "s"
wikipedia gives Odessa and Donbass as alternate spellings, and they're also more accurate in terms of representing the pronunciations, as single 'S's in both would be pronounced like a 'Z' (see words like has, laser, and applause). using 'S's is clearer about the pronunciation and still pretty accepted, so i don't think they're really misspellings
@@jatgreen2995 check out Wiki once more and you'll see that "alternate variants" are actually "Russian spellings", meaning they're officially wrong to use to Ukrainian toponyms
@@jatgreen2995 "Odessa" kinda makes sense because it's a greek-inspired name derived from the ancient city of Οδησσός (Odessos). But "Donbass" doesn't, it's literally "Donets coal basin". You wouldn't say 'bassin'.
@@ayararesara6253 oh very interesting, i didn't actually know that.
i think i'd still be somewhat inclined to spell it Donbass though. the ukrainian etymology doesn't really work in english (it'd have to be pronounced to rhyme with "base" to match "basin"). instead it seems more sensible to translate the full ukrainian word into english, with english spelling rules, instead of reforming the word from english ones
There is no way Ukraine will get its territory back.
Are not Ukraine territory. a territory belongs to those who live there. it is called self-determination of peoples.
@@dummag4126 and according to the statistics - everything except Crimea is Ukrainians-majority land
The occupation of crimea was the thing that really got me strongly interested in world affairs (i remember the Arab spring aswell, but i was still too young). I have been following the conflict ever since, but until 3 years ago it only looked like a frozen conflict similar to other russian breakaway states like Abkhazia. Then came the big russian "drills" and a lot of people panicked. Many however (including now adult me) thought nothing of it. Russia could not possibly be stupid enough to invade. But then on february 24th the invasion came. We then saw how bad of an idea it was to invade, but they continued fighting. Now the conflict again looks like it´s not moving, but there are way more people dying (or affected in general) by it then from 2014-2022.
I hope Ukraine (and their supporters) out last the Russian regimes ability to wage this war.
Sadly the russians have been on the offensive since October '23 and now they've been breaking Ukrainian defenses like in the Avdiivka direction, Kupiansk direction(maybe theyve halted I dunno) and in the Zaporizhia direction towards Orikhiv. The deaths on both sides seems to be about the same (44,000 confirmed for russia and 42,000 confirmed for Ukraine) but Russia can afford and don't care about losing thousands upon thousands of men but Ukraine can't do the same. Sadly it's not going well for Ukraine but it sure as hell wouldn't of gone well if they gave up at the start of the full invasion when the Russians were marching towards Kyiv
-First Zelenski gets installed, highly likely with the help from foreign covert agencies. The pro-Russian leader is chased out of his country and replaced by this actor who is full on pro west.
-ethnic Russians are targetted to be 2nd class citizens OR shelled even.
-provinces with majority ethnic Russians try to break away from this madness.
-Zelenski tries to get into EU/NATO, which is yet another breach of the Minsk accords
-Western powers are and have been training soldiers in Ukraine
-etc.
-Russia invades to protect and secure the ethnic Russian parts and secure a peace deal that ensures the Minsk accords are upheld. Turkey assisted in this peace talk, but Boris Jonson intervened and promised Zelenski the world after which the peace deal was wiped from the table.
-Israel tried again, but the same thing happened: Western powers intervened. They now for sure have blood on their hands for prolonging this war.
my point? Just countering the many people who think Russia is doing it just to expand or did it for no good reason. There are many reasons, some i consider good/valid, some i don't.
another point: this war could've been prevented if western meddling wasn't a thing.
@@AwoudeXWhat a moron, you don’t even know that Zelensky wasn’t the first post-Maidan president, the first guy that chased out the pro-Russian Yanukovich was Poroshenko lmao

I suggest changing the wording of the 30 September 2022 note. NATO countries and their allies are not "The World". Also, the referendums were no more "shady" than any other referendums anywhere else, and when a democratic referendum decides something, the result of it can't be "illegal". I realize you have a bias, but a little less biased language could be useful.
This war will only end with Russia keeping its gains. Either Ukraine comes to the negotiating table for a settled offer, or the West stops funding the Ukrainian war effort. Russia has made it clear it has the domestic production and desire to keep this war going for as long as necessary, whereas Ukraine is reliant on the whims of foreign leaders.
Don’t listen to Russian trolls, Ukraine will never give up her land.
