Patron here o/, why was there no discussion of the death of Gonzalo Lira? His death has caused so much controversy in the West and has seriously damaged Ukraine's reputation while adding dramatically to Ukraine Fatigue, seems like something important to add, even if it doesn't make Ukraine look good.
also i wonder how productions of ammunition in poland will go, since the leftist coalition won elections they can refuse the production in poland in agenda to put them all in germany but i doubt usa will want that
From what I have heard, Russians economy has grown, this conflict as not weakened their economy, on the other end the UK'S economy is going through a recession. The UK funds Ukraine yet they are going through a recession. Crazy.
You need to look at what part of the economy of Russia has grown, which is the military, the avg russian does not see any benefit and has a weaker economy than pre-war. As an example, Nazi Germany produced the most amount of planes in 1944, would you say they were winning in 1944?
They transition from a Peace economy to a part war economy pretty successful. Also they still doing business with EU selling oil through indian ports ( to avoid the embargo)and using Greek oil tankers.
It is natural when a country spends 40% of its annual budget on defense orders. For the same reason, the allocation of US arms to Ukraine raises the GDP of the states where these arms are produced. Bringing Russia to economic collapse did not work and will not work in the next few years. It is necessary to strike at the capabilities of the military-industrial complex and, in particular, at the possibilities of creating heavy weapons, which seems to be happening successfully.
At the cost of 47.000+ Russians, 600 Tanks and over 50 Artillery pieces, including 6 Jets over the past two months. This was confirmed by both sides when you look it up.
@@wildlands9044 It was confirmed both sides, even the Russian Commander confirmed the losses and not to be celebrated with. The Ukrainians were outnumbered by 1:3 by the Russians for the past 2 months.

"We are merely creating a buffer zone in the territory bordering Russia, which will lesson tensions in the region." Which is a very strange way of describing an invasion. >tfw you use a B5 quote in a politically appropriate context and nobody called it out :(
@@gouldilox6805 You're making really weird comparisons here. The US took texas nearly 200 years ago. Every country had imperialistic ideas in those times. Russia doing it in this day and age is insane. They didn't wait for a decade watching their 'fellow russians" die. They themselves sent russian soldiers and equipment over the border to stir up trouble. The tried to assasinate presedential candidates and even funded the opposition. They literally shoot down a commercial jet and regularly fired artillery from the russian border into Ukraine to support their operations. Iran is also a really weird comparison to draw. Iran mined international waters and blocked shipping destroying oil tankers. The US responded to this by providing escorts to these ships. Pissing off and attacking your neighbours draws a response, how weird huh? You say you're not pro russian, but your comment is shamelessly apologetic to Russia and her friends' actions.

FACTUAL CORRECTION : The 28k figure a month for the US is the production figure of the US army only, its 150,000 for the whole of the US. The US is unusual in that its military itself has significant production capacity.

And of course much has changed since this script was written, but K&G were clear from the start of their war coverage that they are willing to be a couple weeks behind in order to get accurate information out.
I think K&G needs to do better. It is one thing to let things settle out with the fog of war. There is another to have a slow and rigid production schedule resulting in giving obviously wrong and incomplete information to the viewer. There are several ways they could deal with this. Create different versions for the likely possibilities, or just add on an update for the current situation at the end.
@@richdobbs6595 They are very clear about the dates, regularly saying "as of...". If you want up to the minute hot takes there are many channels out there for that.
A question about the Italian government: is there any news about ramping up shell production or sending the Centauro? Because the government speaks a lot about supporting Ukraine, but never says WHAT exactly they're doing.
I'm Italian and our government has donated some artillery and various other infantry weapons and contributed to the EU budget for Ukraine. As you can see this is basically nothing and we are continuing our usual short-sighted political game of speaking about it but not following with action. It's really unlikely that we will ever seriously help Ukraine if not in the EU budget.
I'm drowning in student debt and food is fucking expensive and rent is insane why don't you solve that first? I feel bad for Ukrainians but I'm in NO position to help.
@@eragonfreedman9228Why can’t we address all the things you mentioned plus continue to support Ukraine? I hear this a lot and it’s such a weird thing to say. It’s like you think the United States can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. By the way are you intellectually consistent when it comes to Israel and aid sent to the Palestinian civilians? If the US withdraws support for Israel will you cheer as they come under attack from their enemies that surround them? Or do you just not like Ukraine for some reason that has nothing to do with being a Trump cultist? How about when it comes to your personal problems? Why should my tax dollars go to help pay off your student loan debt? That’s your fault. Why should my tax dollars be required to help lower your rent? If you can’t afford rent then move instead of crying about it. If you can’t afford food, why should I pay for your food stamps? Do you see how ridiculous you sound when you make that argument? My guess is you are a Trump supporter who likes Russia because Trump likes Russia. If not, why are you so happy to be an appeaser like Neville Chamberlain and just look the other way as Putin rolls up Eastern Europe? How well do you think the EU will be doing with Putin at their doorstep with the US closing its check book? Do you think Americans might start losing jobs when the EU countries mobilize for war and we just wash our hands of the whole affair? Are you capable of seeing past the end of your nose? It’s ridiculous. But I guess that’s a defining feature of MAGA.
@@eragonfreedman9228 delusional Americans think that that would help :) only thing you will achieve that is war in Taiwan in 5+- years and US soldiers and economy in war, thats it
Russia taking Avdiivka as of now… unfortunate for us but important to point out. It is important to say the Russians are gaining the upper hand in order to sway public opinion towards Ukraine.
Quite the opposite this war is dragging on that has the effect to disengage public opinion. We have seen this during the first world war, vitenam war. Irak-iran war, Afghan war etc
They may took it but the war is not lost. Is clear that no one want Russia won. That means that they will do whatever they want to evryone and this will be calamity.
I believe Syrskyii just ordered a retreat from Avdiivka, or at least that's what I read. Is it not confirmed yet, or is it just that it hadn't happened yet when this episode was written?
Thanks for the clarification! I thought it might have been a case similar to Marinka, with the UAF still holding on to the ouskirts of the town. Btw, I'm going to take a moment to appreciate the amazing quality of your productions. I've been a follower of yours for years now, and have been recently rewatching older stuff. I was terribly impressed with how long you guys have come and how your content has evolved. I have never found another channel with such measured and balanced analysis of historical events, and I have learned tons from your videos over the past 3-4 years. Anyway, I just thought I should show some love, which you guys very much deserve. Thanks again!
The retreat has started a few days ago and is about wrapping up right now. Avdiivka was mainly serving as a drain on Russian resources and with the breaches in several locations into the city, the K/D ratios stopped favoring Ukrainians to such an insane degree as it was a month or two ago. For political reasons, it would have probably helped if Ukraine lasted until Russian presidential elections next month, but only Russia ever put any stock into political goals at the cost of men, so Mariupol style defense was highly unlikely in the first place. The decision was pretty obvious; the biggest question was of when it will happen and not if.
That is the thing pro-Russians don't understand. Germany wasn't "underestimating Russia". It was thinking that trade and good relations will prevent all this from happening. That is how Putin has repaid this good will. Now Europe is rearming and in a few years will eclipse any Russian military production or aid from Russian allies.
@@BullGator-kd6ge A key fundamental in military tactics and strategy is to deceive your opponent. Typically the opponent goes to great lengths to prevent this and remain grounded in reality. But sometimes, the opponent deceives themselves.
@@dogukan127 ofc I know, just felt a missing moment for a better highlight because based on the desc clearly said the main topic is the Avdiivka stronghold, not to mention several days from many sources that could hint to this outcome. I wonder whether K&G editorials can postpone video content just to add critical news, or stay anchored to a specific chosen date, regardless of the situation.
@@Bayofthe91st Their series is not going for that as they stated. Their purpose is to tail the events by a month or so and to accurately portray everything that happened. GOing by heat of the moment would cause many errors and would be difficult anyways. Frontlines can change fast.
The thing with trying to destroy factories is that, you basically can`t. The more you destroy it, the better the enemy gets at getting it up and running, faster, more efficiently, with basically just an open-air, very rough, but robust factory-like environment, and with time they even become good at saving their workers during bombardment. It`s overall hell. The Wehrmacht during 1944 had its highest production of planes yet since the war had begun, despite the fact that they were constantly being bombed, pushed back further and overall not in a great situation. Human ingenuity is truly something else.
Yes, the average Russian grocery bill is 4-5 times smaller than the American grocery bill, but the average Russian salary is 7-8 times smaller. Americans, on average, use 15-20% of their income on groceries. For the Russians it is 45-55%. Point is, this situation is being described as "Russia is great, America is terrible", and that is plainly dishonest.
@@bigmoe9856A month is actually 4.4 weeks. Then the average for Russia is very misleading (for the US too) because of huge inequalities. Median wage should be considered.
I'm Syrian and yeah you can buy a shit load of things with 140 dollars in Syria, and you'd live like an actual king in Syria if you made 4000$ a month But if you keep in mind that the average Syrian salary is around 20$...what you can buy with 140 dollars stops being so impressive
Some developments since then: • Landing ship Tsezar Kunikov is sunk by Ukraine. • Alexei Navalny has died in prison. • Ukraine retreats from Avdiivka, leaving the Battle of Avdiivka a Russian [Pyrrhic(?)] victory
You should do a video about the battles of the Israel-Palestine "war" that has 2 seconds and its just you saying "there are no battles, they are just women and children"

If Russia wanted to all out steamroll Ukraine, they could. But since the West wants to support them, Russia is well beyond capable of slowing down to bleed western economies and the people are starting to feel the effects of inflation. No universal healthcare in America? Russia has UHC. Canada has UHC. Why not America? You'll figure it out.
As an American I feel ashamed that any politician would feel the need to play games with funding at this moment... As a veteran makes me sick the rhetoric coming out of parties I formerly associated with..

@@geowarriors Yes, but the point is that this is not a news channel, it is better to wait a week or so to get a clearer picture of what has happened in a certain period of time and then make a summary. Also, producing the video takes some time.
I’d like this channel to do a show specifically about the capacities of each nation. Also, it would be fascinating to hear how Russia uses foreign contract soldiers to boost their ranks. I’ve heard ALOT about this. When we hear of Russian fatalities, it’s important to stress this point as population depletion in the ranks, will be one of the sparks that causes revolution or at least loss, in Russia. Russia may not value its soldiers, but using people from the far east Russian Oblasts, whilst using foreign soldiers as their main cannon fodder, leaves regular ethnic Russians unscathed. That’s a large untapped population, more than twice the size of Ukraines prewar population. So when you hear of Russian fatalities, it is a Red Herring and not an accurate picture of the real situation. Please give us a video that focuses on this important topic and I will happily become a Patreon member.
@@daarom3472 Looking at it by pure numbers ignores the stark differences between those wars and this one. 1) Those were *world* wars, multinational conflicts where the narrative in Russia focuses on the impact of responsibility for its end from the Russian population, a huge point of Russian nationalism. Even the most propagandic take of the Ukraine "security operation" will admit pan-Russian nationalism is a primary stake of the war, and it's harder to draw a direct line from it to survival in this case. 2) Most of the Russian involvement in WW1 and WW2 was defending their own national territory, tying back to #1. It was a lot easier to wave off the dissent in the SSRs and occupied former Imperial Russian territory when Russian Soviet leadership could take credit for defending against the Nazis, who were open about their hatred of Slavs even while they employed them and killed many indiscriminately for existing. Putin's claims of "danazifying" Ukraine have affected all they would have, and the longer the war goes on the less ppl will believe it, especially when open neo-Nazis and white supremacist organizations claim allegiance with Putin. 3) We live in a time where every death can be counted in real-time and it's easier to connect with ppl who knew them and share their stories. The better media transparency and faster delivery of the 60s is what made the Vietnam War become widely unpopular in the U.S. in only a few years, because anyone still undecided was exposed to the realities of the war, something which was covered up for Americans in WW2. The current Russian state is too disorganized to prevent information from leaking in - or out - forever, and it's opposed by nations and groups that are very, very good at getting past information walls when they want to. 4) With all of the above together, Russians are more likely to be aware of the deaths occurring and less likely to be completely supportive of all of the causes. Those who are really going to be affected are probably non-Russian minorities, who are aware of how the Russian governments have used them as cannon fodder in every past war. Even when Russian forces were clandestinely involved in the Donbass rebellion, they were sending ethnic Kazakh troops to support the rebels (at least one of them accidentally geo-tagged himself in a selfie). All the factors involved there are many of the precedents for ethnic rebellions in autocratic states. That could galvanize white Russians to want to hold the country together, or it could spark a wave of dissension over all of the deaths, crashing economy and loss of Russian reputation for a war that's questionable at best even for Russian patriotism.

@@slapshot256 oh ya, you are right Perun is a quality channel. I catch it as often as I can. I was suggesting it to advocate for another quality channel like this, to create their own version. The war changes so quickly, I’m not sure you can create too much content on the same topic and have it be pertinent to the month. And another channel like this will attach the point to a larger/different audience…hopefully.
Yea it is crazy. He said Republicans are trying to link the two, but that's backwards. Republicans won't approve the Border Security Act because it has provisions for aid to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Isreal. I love the channel, and he's focused on the war in Ukraine, so it's a small forgivable oversight .
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Senate try to initially sell it as a border security bill but then only a small percentage would actually go to anything border related?
8:27 This whole incident is so easily debunked. Suchomimus made a good video regarding this but the gist of it is that the aircraft shot down had flown in from Iran, so it would have carried weapons rather than POWs. However, it was flying AWAY from Belgorod when it was shot down, so most likely it wasn't carrying anything at all.
10:45 basically meaning France is too greedy and too fed on Russian money to give appropiate help. A so-called artillery coalition could even reduce the help of each individual because they will just point the finger at each other.

How the fuck is the US only producing 28k shells a month? Their military budget almost touches the 1 trillion threshold, and they only produced 28.000 shells?
Yes, you read that right, it's not money that matters to the United States, and workers who don't have anyone to produce still have the will to produce, and I still remember that at the European Security Conference just now, Trump's servant said to his face that the United States has no production capacity .. The most important thing to do now is to make Ukraine give up resistance and kneel down and surrender to Putin, because Mr. Putin will eventually forgive us, and we will not let the congressional aid bill pass, even if the bill increases the production of ammunition in the United States, but it has no effect on the war in Ukraine, this is the current United States... I think that those who believe in the United States in the future should go back and learn the history of Ukraine, and what price they paid for choosing to trust the United States~
@@prismpyre7653 Thats realy infuriating to me. Were the second richest continent in the world, and were sending a few shells at a time.

@@netherwake1 Well if the EU stops giving free health care , pensions at 60 -62 to all and starve their populations just short of death (sometimes not they die) use forced labor I guess they can produce shells like N.

Представьте себе, что выборы для страны против правящего диктатора проводятся. Эти выборы необычны, они проводятся за пределами России. Через прямые выборы или по почте. Во многих авторитарных режимах выборы подделываются или манипулируются, чтобы укрепить власть диктатора. Поэтому было бы разумным проводить выборы за пределами страны, чтобы провести более справедливые и прозрачные выборы. Прямые выборы или голосование по почте могли бы быть одним из способов захвата голосов граждан, даже если они физически не находятся в стране. Проведение таких выборов за пределами страны могло бы получить поддержку международного сообщества и обеспечить, что голосование проходит свободно и честно. Это также могло бы быть знаком сопротивления авторитарному правительству и вдохновить людей в стране бороться за свои права и свободы. Конечно, важно, чтобы такие выборы контролировались независимыми наблюдателями для обеспечения их правильного проведения и предотвращения манипуляций с результатами. Было бы также необходимо создать механизмы для того, чтобы голоса граждан, проживающих за границей, были правильно посчитаны и обеспечена справедливая представительность в политическом процессе.

So, anyone else gonna point out that Medvedev words are almost a delcaration of war on finland and NATO since they joined? Remember, Finland was Russian territory until after the october revolution.
In Ukraine he is publicly known for being a mad guy who only can write drunk posts in Telegram, saying all of Ukraine is historically Russian, everyone in the West is a nazi, etc. By the way, I think he once said something like "we already defeated Ukrainian army and now battling NATO troops". So, apparently Russia is already in war with all of NATO 😅 Despite being former president of Russia (I think he was the president because Putin couldn't be elected 3rd time in a row by constitution, so he brought his "puppet" Medvedev instead), he doesn't really hold any significant power or something, though his words clearly present Russian position.
The russians lose 10 tanks per day on average. That makes 300 a month. So even of they can build 100 tanks per month that is a net loss of 2400 tanks per year.
As an Australian, the US linking military aid to Ukraine to a border deal is terrifying. What will happen if we as a US ally need their help in an Asia-Pacific war? Will we only get it if certain anti-abortion laws pass? It feels like we cannot trust the US, even to do something in their own personal interest.
I think Zaluzhny was on burnout. Let someone who's sitting behind the scenes with a fresh look whos been studying certain parts of the war and can act on them come to the front. Gove Zaluznhy some R and R work behind the scenes for a bit and jump back out front.
I think Zaluzhny told it as it is, they will never get a total victory and recommended a defensive plan, but Zelensky, who lost a lot of my admiration for him in the past few months, couldn't accept that. This is an ego trip from Zelensky who can't accept that the resources were wasted on a doomed counteroffensive that he pushed for...
What about South Korea? Are they going to finally give Ukraine military aid and when will America finally give Ukraine? Long range missiles and modern fighter jets?

There is another to have a slow and rigid production schedule resulting in giving obviously wrong and incomplete information to the viewer. There are several ways they could deal with this.

The retreat has started a few days ago and is about wrapping up right now. Avdiivka was mainly serving as a drain on Russian resources and with the breaches in several locations into the city, the K/D ratios stopped favoring Ukrainians to such an insane degree as it was a month or two ago. For political reasons, it would have probably helped if Ukraine lasted until Russian presidential elections next month, but only Russia ever put any stock into political goals at the cost of men, so Mariupol style defense was highly unlikely in the first place. The decision was pretty obvious; the biggest question was of when it will happen and not if.
@@fare-5174 Ukraine can use the evacuation for political goals, it is some sort of pressure on the US Congress to give funds

That is the thing pro-Russians don't understand. Germany wasn't "underestimating Russia". It was thinking that trade and good relations will prevent all this from happening.

This is a fantastic update but what a terrible waste in lives, infrastructure and money.
The thing with trying to destroy factories is that, you basically can`t. The more you destroy it, the better the enemy gets at getting it up and running, faster, more efficiently, with basically just an open-air, very rough, but robust factory-like environment, and with time they even become good at saving their workers during bombardment. It`s overall hell. The Wehrmacht during 1944 had its highest production of planes yet since the war had begun, despite the fact that they were constantly being bombed, pushed back further and overall not in a great situation. Human ingenuity is truly something else.
BTW the place where that 100+ tanks is from, well it also counted the tanks taken from storage.
Why would they not mention this? To quote Perun, it would be like taking cool beer out of your cellar and declaring "I have produced 1 beer!"

Point is, this situation is being described as "Russia is great, America is terrible", and that is plainly dishonest.

I’d like this channel to do a show specifically about the capacities of each nation. Also, it would be fascinating to hear how Russia uses foreign contract soldiers to boost their ranks. I’ve heard ALOT about this. When we hear of Russian fatalities, it’s important to stress this point as population depletion in the ranks, will be one of the sparks that causes revolution or at least loss, in Russia. Russia may not value its soldiers, but using people from the far east Russian Oblasts, whilst using foreign soldiers as their main cannon fodder, leaves regular ethnic Russians unscathed. That’s a large untapped population, more than twice the size of Ukraines prewar population.
So when you hear of Russian fatalities, it is a Red Herring and not an accurate picture of the real situation.
Please give us a video that focuses on this important topic and I will happily become a Patreon member.
@@daarom3472 Looking at it by pure numbers ignores the stark differences between those wars and this one.
1) Those were *world* wars, multinational conflicts where the narrative in Russia focuses on the impact of responsibility for its end from the Russian population, a huge point of Russian nationalism. Even the most propagandic take of the Ukraine "security operation" will admit pan-Russian nationalism is a primary stake of the war, and it's harder to draw a direct line from it to survival in this case.
2) Most of the Russian involvement in WW1 and WW2 was defending their own national territory, tying back to #1. It was a lot easier to wave off the dissent in the SSRs and occupied former Imperial Russian territory when Russian Soviet leadership could take credit for defending against the Nazis, who were open about their hatred of Slavs even while they employed them and killed many indiscriminately for existing. Putin's claims of "danazifying" Ukraine have affected all they would have, and the longer the war goes on the less ppl will believe it, especially when open neo-Nazis and white supremacist organizations claim allegiance with Putin.
3) We live in a time where every death can be counted in real-time and it's easier to connect with ppl who knew them and share their stories. The better media transparency and faster delivery of the 60s is what made the Vietnam War become widely unpopular in the U.S. in only a few years, because anyone still undecided was exposed to the realities of the war, something which was covered up for Americans in WW2. The current Russian state is too disorganized to prevent information from leaking in - or out - forever, and it's opposed by nations and groups that are very, very good at getting past information walls when they want to.
4) With all of the above together, Russians are more likely to be aware of the deaths occurring and less likely to be completely supportive of all of the causes. Those who are really going to be affected are probably non-Russian minorities, who are aware of how the Russian governments have used them as cannon fodder in every past war. Even when Russian forces were clandestinely involved in the Donbass rebellion, they were sending ethnic Kazakh troops to support the rebels (at least one of them accidentally geo-tagged himself in a selfie). All the factors involved there are many of the precedents for ethnic rebellions in autocratic states. That could galvanize white Russians to want to hold the country together, or it could spark a wave of dissension over all of the deaths, crashing economy and loss of Russian reputation for a war that's questionable at best even for Russian patriotism.

8:27 This whole incident is so easily debunked. Suchomimus made a good video regarding this but the gist of it is that the aircraft shot down had flown in from Iran, so it would have carried weapons rather than POWs.

The most important thing to do now is to make Ukraine give up resistance and kneel down and surrender to Putin, because Mr. Putin will eventually forgive us, and we will not let the congressional aid bill pass, even if the bill increases the production of ammunition in the United States, but it has no effect on the war in Ukraine, this is the current United States...

Представьте себе, что выборы для страны против правящего диктатора проводятся. Эти выборы необычны, они проводятся за пределами России. Через прямые выборы или по почте.
Во многих авторитарных режимах выборы подделываются или манипулируются, чтобы укрепить власть диктатора. Поэтому было бы разумным проводить выборы за пределами страны, чтобы провести более справедливые и прозрачные выборы. Прямые выборы или голосование по почте могли бы быть одним из способов захвата голосов граждан, даже если они физически не находятся в стране.
Проведение таких выборов за пределами страны могло бы получить поддержку международного сообщества и обеспечить, что голосование проходит свободно и честно. Это также могло бы быть знаком сопротивления авторитарному правительству и вдохновить людей в стране бороться за свои права и свободы.
Конечно, важно, чтобы такие выборы контролировались независимыми наблюдателями для обеспечения их правильного проведения и предотвращения манипуляций с результатами. Было бы также необходимо создать механизмы для того, чтобы голоса граждан, проживающих за границей, были правильно посчитаны и обеспечена справедливая представительность в политическом процессе.

In Ukraine he is publicly known for being a mad guy who only can write drunk posts in Telegram, saying all of Ukraine is historically Russian, everyone in the West is a nazi, etc. By the way, I think he once said something like "we already defeated Ukrainian army and now battling NATO troops". So, apparently Russia is already in war with all of NATO 😅
Despite being former president of Russia (I think he was the president because Putin couldn't be elected 3rd time in a row by constitution, so he brought his "puppet" Medvedev instead), he doesn't really hold any significant power or something, though his words clearly present Russian position.
Where worlds economic forum reports sought Russia economic becomes stronger and revenue cause of sanctioned on Russia
Hi my friend I like your history information's very much be cause if I need enything knowing I came to you well, keep going👍
The russians lose 10 tanks per day on average. That makes 300 a month. So even of they can build 100 tanks per month that is a net loss of 2400 tanks per year.
As an Australian, the US linking military aid to Ukraine to a border deal is terrifying. What will happen if we as a US ally need their help in an Asia-Pacific war? Will we only get it if certain anti-abortion laws pass? It feels like we cannot trust the US, even to do something in their own personal interest.
Now am working on tha history please help me in the History

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 👊
Usually well done but you just need a couple of minutes to realise that this was made 2 weeks ago.
It is said in the first 30 seconds of the video. It is in the thumbnail. It is in the description.
@@KingsandGenerals Of course. Pointless comment and I very much appreciate your very well made content on this terrible war by Putin.
Nammo company is Norwegian, not Swedish.

Amazing recap video, deep dive.

Thanks for the content!
Zelensky, you dropped this 👑
Man just wanted to get on with his center left political platform, he was not elected on this but shit he's gonna do it
I think Zaluzhny was on burnout. Let someone who's sitting behind the scenes with a fresh look whos been studying certain parts of the war and can act on them come to the front. Gove Zaluznhy some R and R work behind the scenes for a bit and jump back out front.
I think Zaluzhny told it as it is, they will never get a total victory and recommended a defensive plan, but Zelensky, who lost a lot of my admiration for him in the past few months, couldn't accept that. This is an ego trip from Zelensky who can't accept that the resources were wasted on a doomed counteroffensive that he pushed for...
What about South Korea? Are they going to finally give Ukraine military aid and when will America finally give Ukraine? Long range missiles and modern fighter jets?
✌
this war is taking way too long.
I remember people saying it will only last a couple months.
Aged like milk
Putin wanted Kyiv in three days initially 🤣 now look where he is.
