Bet you fell for the NeoCon propaganda about Iraqi WMD. Ukraine has lost 60,000 troops dead and 20% of its land and Russia has used very limited resources.
It could be for any or all the reasons the officer mentioned but it could just as easily be that they were simply abandoned. That would be right in line with how Russia treats its soldiers.
From what I've heard, it seems like Russian commanders simply thought they couldn't get all their troops out before the Ukrainians closed in and just fecklessly told them to find some civilian clothes and then to fend for themselves in whatever way they could. It's just too much to expect Russians to carry out competent rear guard actions to get ALL their troops out of harm's way. "Sheesh, those guys were just a bunch of throwaway conscripts anyhow. There's more where they came from."
you think they be around in 100 years? I say China will take half of it and rest near Nato will brake into small countries and no one will want to have Russia as their name
Russia need to stop special military operations and go back to voting disinformation operations. I hope the Russian losers continue to help the USA version of losers, the Republican Party- MAGA.
True, Now is the time to strike, and strike hard while the enemy is reeling no let up lest they regroup and the war will take longer to finish. The icing on the cake is the downfall of Putin and his regime.

Why does every single analyst insist on overestimating russia and underestimating Ukraine? Surely by this point, we should all admit that what the West thought about russia was wrong, and just get over it. It just seems like they're trying to cling to dead intel.
Because Russia is rich in resources and sheep willing to live miserably and die for Putin. So until the Russian people show some backbone and truly resist being sent to the slaughter house, it is best not to underestimate it. Further, the Russian military was obviously being very incompetently lead so far. But that could change. Overconfidence looses war. Just look at the Russian in those first nine months.
All day today I've felt nothing but an overwhelming feeling about my country, the country I live in. I can't help but feeling so proud of my country. I'm so proud to be in a country were they'll go above and beyond to help a country in such devastating and dreadful time and without flinching a fraction of a second. I'm proud of my country the United States of America 🇺🇸 for arming Ukraine 🇺🇦 and helping them survive and win this war. I love America and every single thing it stands for and that's that, may God bless Ameica, and much Glory to Ukraine.
REPLYING to DH I wish all Americans were as patriotic as you It is so sad to see the American people devided instead of being united against a common enemy in the face of threats As we say United we stand Devided we fall
@@duncans4186 True Such a pity problems can't be solved in a manner which would be good for the country and not in a manner which is bad for certain groups of people The Americans should all be united in one common goal
If Ukraine advanced from the front in zaporizhia to Melitopol, they would cut off Crimea, now that the Kerch strait bridge is damaged. and If they also cut off the water canal it would be devastating for Russia
Keep dreaming. Everyone thinks because Russia tactically withdrew from Kherson that they are failing. They had 30,000 men in Kherson, they could have kept hold of the city, it just would have cost too much and they risked being encircled. Ukraine have reached their high water mark in this conflict, Russian are bringing 300k men to front soon, its all down hill for Ukraine from here, and no amount of western money and weapons will change that.
If that's the case then that batch in civvies is dumber than the previous batch. Surely they were made aware of the bridge being dropped and the next crossing is way far away...in the onset of winter, hiding from angry citizens, police and soldiers....not good odds when surrender provides 3 meals, cot, warm clothes, medical attention and eventual repatriation. ( even television as per one video of or. POWs) ....unless this batch has committed heinous war crimes.
China and Russia only recently agreed on territorial boundaries on the east. If I was Xi I would be looking to retake Eastern Russia, much more than Taiwan. China could just walk in to Eastern Russia unopposed, and who knows, maybe planning to do just that.
China is apparently already attracting Russia allies, like for ex: Kyrsgistan & co to move into or closer of their sphere of influence and off the russian.
Inte little lnger run that is exactly what is going to happen.Russia took failrly large parts of China in a string of hard and force ”peaces” in the 1800s…At some point in the future when Putin and Jinping are not longer there/best friends this is going to be the main world conflict China have 10 times the population and what 12-15 times the economy…Russia is a basket case in so many aspects
It's interesting to hear a connected person finally talking about the eventuality of China taking back their lands that Russia took from back at the end of WWII. Its a maneuver that has much more upside than an attack on Taiwan, which is mainly just a propaganda campaign due to history. In real terms though, Russia is no longer able to operate the oil facilities in the East due to sanctions and operating companies leaving but if China took them over then those facilities could be turned back on and contracted companies could go back in. I doubt China wants to risk all out war with Russia but if Russia breaks up, as this Advisor suggests is possible, it seems very plausible that China would retake Manchurian lands taken from them in the past. They could even use the same talking points that the Russians use about Crimea and Donbass in that those lands of Outer Manchuria are ethnically majority Chinese. Plus when you look at Google Maps on the area, you see Chinese cities and infrastructure that is literally built right up to the border where as there is hardly anything on the Russian side. Clearly China will make much more use out of the area should that happen.
@@DanielCosta-zp6jl The industry is only valuable if you know how to run it. The main Taiwanese company that makes those is building a massive complex in Arizona right now. You can have all the facilities but without the people and the knowledge to run them, its just a building with stuff in it. If China had the knowledge to do it, they would do it but they dont. That's why the semi-conductor embargo on them hurts them so much. It's not worth the risk to enter full scale warfare against the US there. They see what has happened to Russia in their failed invasion. The CCP cant afford that kind of a failure internally. The easy win is to wait for Russia to fall apart and then take back those lands that China lost in the war to Russia. That is just as much of a propaganda win for the CCP and that is the most valuable thing to them when it comes to engaging in a war.
This is not all down to Putin. There are plenty of people around him goading him on and some of them are far worse. He is probably controlled more than we know.
No I also blame the Russian people who did absolutely nothing but support Putin until it came time for them to give their lives... there's such cowards...
As hard as it is to not hate Russia, there are some Russians who truly do oppose the war and are protesting it. It's those people who I appreciate. The rest of the Putin Clown Club, well, they reap what they sow.
Prior to building the bridge, the water situation in Crimea was critical. Now there are large numbers of Russian troops there and the bridge is blown, that situation will be critical again. It should not be impossible for Ukraine to make it totally untenable. The Ukrainians have the equipment, ability and leadership with high enough moral to conduct an effective Winter War.
So nice to see a proper commander give his views, the Ukrainian army has shown that they are very adaptable and very brave young men, they did not ask for this but are proving their metal. We will continue to train and supply these warriors 🏴🇬🇧🇺🇦
Does that include the ones filmed shooting Ruscist prisoners in the knees before executing them? or those filmed shooting wounded Ruscists lying in the road? Soldiers are Human beings, there are bad 'uns amongst them just as there are heroes. SO no NOT every Soldier deserves a Medal of Honour that would just reduce the meaning of the Medal of Honour
@@georgeholbrook1886 Good morning, Mr Holbrook. Shall you go out and commiserate with Vladimir. He show you how to destroy civilization with nuclear bombs. NATO watches, while the Ukrainian people fight for freedom and democracy..., FOR NATO, FOR ALL. Even for Russian people. For USA, 2. Much of Ukraine will have no electricity this winter. Slava Ukraini. Free Alexei Navalny. End world hunger and starvation. Sink all Russian battleships preventing the Ukrainian bread basket from feeding the hungry. Ukrainians are my heroes.
Ukraine military already has crossed the Dniepro down near Kherson in multiple areas and is facing crumbling resistance. We are about to see either the most humiliating Russian defeat in its history or if it tries to hold on to the last little bit it has of Ukraine we will see the most humiliating defeat of Russia in it's history. Either way it is crumbling much faster than I had imagined. I was one of those that thought they might hold on till spring.
President Zelensky appears to listen to his advisors. Additionally, the advisors work as a team not how Putin works. Putin has no idea if he is being lied to. President Zelensky's team is built on trust.
Putin's invasion of Ukraine, his greed, fear and ignorance, has led to the deaths of around 100,000 Russians (troops sent to support the invasion of Ukraine) and perhaps around 100,000 Ukrainians (40,000 troops, 60,000 civilians - including children, elderly). It's led to the destruction of millions of people's lives and homes. And Putin's invasion has also released a massive increase in the release of greenhouses gases. Russia and the people of Russia would gain so much if Putin disappeared. Putin broke Russia's 1994 treaty to respect the borders and sovereignty of Ukraine when Putin invaded Ukraine's Crimea region.
Agreed, we are in a very dark time. And it's not just wars. It's economic, food and famine crises, energy crises, etc. We are seeing Prophecy happen before our eyes.
Honestly though, they're getting more barbaric by the day. Nothing good seems to be coming from the "Motherland". I do feel bad for the Russians who opposes this war and publicly protecting it.
Interesting thought that China's interest may be diverted from Taiwan to Siberia. Imagine if a referendum was held there and Chinese workers were given a vote on whether to annex parts of that territory? Just desserts.
They will cut off the water. In what world do you supply an attacking country with water and infrastructure? No no no, if Putin wants Crimea he can manage it himself, let him find his own water.
@@Vykandar Which is why the Russians aren't going to give up that partcof Ukraine without a fight ..if they loose the canal, they've lost Crimea. And probably why there's odd hints of Russia wanting 'peace talks' to presumably redraw their borders to more or less where they are now. Can't see that happening either - Ukrainians are on a roll, drones attacking Ukraine are either in short supply or the anti drone defences are better, US will continue support after the Democrats won the mid-terms and Europe isn't buckling because of the lack of Russian gas. Unless Putin goes Doomsday, he's stuffed.
A Russian unit captured just yesterday in Kherson admitted they were there to direct Russian artillery when the Himars move in to the region. They were told the whole 'motherland' depends on their efforts or the war is over.
The issue is how much firepower is left there to defend the Crimea?. I mean seriously seems like they left too much behind and of course they never ever thought they had to defend it, and putting any good troops and gear in crimea with only a weak bridge to run out on is madness.
The issue no one talks about is what happens if Ukraine regains Crimea? There are 2 million russians there and now these two ethnic groups hate each other with a vengeance.
@@lsd8497 Easy as pie, trade!. 1-1 Ukrainians you *relocated* to ruzzia. Now yeah on paper its easy reality a lot harder but it is in the basics the only way to get the others back.
I think the end will come a lot quicker than most believe. As the saying goes " you go bankrupt slowly then you go bankrupt very quickly" Russia has been losing slowly but now the pace is speeding up, both on the battlefield and politically. The turning point will be the onset of winter, a winter that Russian troops are poorly prepared for. There are only two supply routes into and out of Crimea, the Kursk bridge which is currently under repair and overland. The overland route is well within range of Ukrainian platforms and the bridge as we have seen is very vulnerable to attack, and if anyone believes that was a truck bomb with 25 tons of explosive as reported by the Russians they will believe anything. Starve Crimea and the war is theirs and so far the tactic of identifying their supply hubs and destroying them has worked very well I just hope they continue.
Seems to me that it would be prudent to take a few Russian military and power bases out during the winter. I know it would be a terrible hardship for the people, but Ukrainians are facing the same crisis. You have to strike when the enemy least expects it.
Not quite sure what you mean by "power bases." Maybe electrical grid infrastructure? That would be a war crime. But military bases are always legitimate targets. Maybe step up Special Operations during the Winter.
@@edonveil9887 The first condition for negotiations should be that before they even begin, Putin and all the people in Russia with any sort of power who supported Putin have to all be publicly hung in Red Square with the executions broadcast live to the world on every news channel on the planet. The second condition should be that the new Russian government has to make Putinism a crime with a mandatory sentence of instant death without trial and enforec this law so strictly that Draco of Athens would call the enforcement harsh. After that, Russia has to give up all the parts of Ukraine they stole starting with the stuff in 2014 and all Russian sympathizers still in those regions need to be rounded up and exiled to Siberia. Then the negotiations can begin.
It is now almost certain, that the Ukrainian army has quite recently made a successful landing operation to the Kinburn peninsula to the West of the river delta of Dnipro. From there is is possible to advance first to the East to basal of this peninsula and from there to the South to Crimea. Those attacking troops don't need to cross Dnipro anymore, that is big advantage. However this peninsula is 35 km long and in it's Eastern part only four km wide, so the Russian army has a good change to stop the advanging Ukrainian army there. But the area immediately to the East of this peninsula is practially roadless, so the supplying of the Russian defenders will be difficult. On the other hand the bay is narrow, so the Ukrainians can with relatively easily to supply their troops. And they have a stong artillery and lots of rocket-launchers pretty near on the mainland. So they can have the Russians troops in Kinburn under constant shelling. If the Ukrainian army will be able to break through from the Kinburn peninsula, it can rotate the strongest Russian defensive lines on the Western side. Then the road to Crimea will be free. The Ukrainian army will probably pretty soon start an offensive in the Zaporizhzhia front heading first to the South to Melitopol and from there to Dzamkoi in North-Eastern Crimea. In the Luhansk front the advancing Ukrainian army has reached so called Toblerone line and quite recently managed to breake in some places. This line was much weaker than expected. The fighting moral of the Russian soldiers is low. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
The Kinburn peninsula is also a beautiful and unique nature reserve and it would be a shame to destroy it - the Ukrainians certainly won't do it, but the vile Russians...
i think the main reason for them to try to blend in as civillians are probably because they got left behind or something. I dont see why they would need to hide artillery spotters in there when using a drone is more effective
@@sebastianvagabond4692 If those tanks were in good condition, they’d already be at the frontline. And even if they had the resources to make some of them ready for battle and sustain them, they still wouldn’t have enough trained tank crews to operate them.
@@huntergatherer7796 Chechnya is part of Russia but not by choice. They should overthrow Kadyrov and declare independence. The Georgians fighting in Ukraine may come home and strengthen their capabilities.
the USA has talked to the Russians about using Nukes in Ukraine.... secretly told them thier response. So Russia can save face.... thats the most important objective right, for the ruskies.
Russia's government are reopening and refurbishing thousands of old Soviet era bomb shelters and taking measures for a much broader war than the one taking place in Ukraine. I wouldn't be ruling anything out at this point, Putin knows the Americans are trying to destroy Russia, and he isn't going to let that happen.
I think the chances of that have gone down considerably, especially since Putin has moved on to a series of other strange claims. But I don't think it's ever a good idea to dismiss the possibility of nukes entirely.
it would be deliusional to think that all russian forces will throw there weapons away and surrender to their enemies on the ukrainian army´s advance in to crimea.. some may perhaps be willing to fight or die, whereas others to want simply go home, others may simply "follow orders" it is also unwise for a general to underestimate the forces of the enemy. this leads to defeat and disaster.
Funny, because real the real Nazis are holding power in Kiev, discriminating Russian population and literally dehumanizing them by calling them 'orks'.
Putin will lead the final battle himself, riding a white horse and carrying the Russian Colors on a staff. He will only be wearing Jackboots and a Red Jockstrap.
Perfect explanation of Ukrainian military success. They have an officer corp dedicated to victory… Europe has an officer corp dedicated to managing expectations.
And Russia has an ambidextrous officer corps, dedicated (at the same time) to: 1) telling the Kremlin what they want to hear, regardless of the truth; and 2) ripping off Russia’s military budget for their personal enrichment.
For Russia's national interest, Putin SHOULD step down and let brand new leaders to negotiate long-term peace with the West, and keep a distance from China. China is a foe, not friend.
He did not say that, a journalist asked it as a question and he repeated it rhetorically! Then went on to say that he did not think it the beginning of the end .. but a great struggle lay ahead! Stop the misinformation!
Is this the longest time we haven't heard from Putin? It feels like it. Maybe he's already left the country and the military to fend for itself while he disappears into the arms of some warm welcoming Arabic nation.
Once Ukraine has won, with it's allies support, it would be very very interesting if Ukraine was given the opportunity to administer Humanitarian Aid to Russia after Putin is gone. The opportunity for them to forgive and help heal and show the world the best way forward would be awesome to watch. Obviously it would need oversight by the countries funneling the aide.
I'm sure the concept is humane and compassionate. But have you spoken to any Ukrainians about this? They are in no mood to forgive. Once they get Russia back to the true borders it is going to take generations to begin healing.
Don’t be ridiculous. Ukraine suffered greatly under this Russian invasion and they won’t forget easily. Also Russia will have to pay reparations to Ukraine for decades so they can rebuild. Nobody will help Russia so they can go back to bullying the world again.
Militarily it's tough for Ukraine to really take Crimea or push into Donbas because of the sheer numbers of Russians soldiers. There was an interview with a Ukrainian tank team yesterday returning to Kherson after fighting on the front lines and they spoke about how difficult it was to make progress as every time they took out a line, they were quickly replaced. Literally canon fodder, its awful waste of human souls, but the Russian leadership does not care about its ppl who are either former prisoners or drafted with more experienced behind them in a back up line. That being said, Ukrainians have been rewriting how to be agile and creative in battles so I wldnt bet against them. The rest is political pressure, only continued successes will add to that as well as factories etc being set alight in Russia to show internal unrest, sabotage.
The professional Ukrainian army has largely been destroyed by Russia so the Ukrainian army is now made up of huge numbers of conscripts and volunteers in addition to tens of thousands of mercenaries many of them serving Polish soldiers changing their uniforms.
@@mourneslad6819 It sounds like you've interwoven truth with fiction. IF true, can you share your source? Happy to be corrected. In my opinion, although sadly they have lost a lot of soldiers, it is incorrect to say almost ALL professional Ukrainian soldiers have been lost. IF that had been the case it wld be chaotic to control the counter offensives and they wld be over run by the Russians by sheer numbers alone on the Russian side. To counter expected losses, since March Ukraine has been actively rotating training for newbies so to counter. For instance recently it was confirmed that approx 7k soldiers have been trained in the UK. As they pass their training they aren't assigned to the front lines but gain experience first and are then moved up in the rotation. And as evidenced by the battles won, the Ukrainian soldiers gain experience quickly. Their main goal is not to lose lives so they do their damnest to mitigate that unlike the Russians who don't seem to care whether the immobilized are trained or not (Russian confirmation). Not sure what you mean by the Poles. But there are a number of foreign squads - such as: 1) Belarus Volunteer army 2) Foreign Legion made up of many nationalities like Canadians, UK US, Aussie, Poles etc volunteers 3) Chechnyan Battalion 4) Georgian It's a fallacy to say the Ukrainian forces are being propped up foreign forces pretending to be Ukrainian. There's no need to pretend. Can you confirm your source? btw no Nazis, no NATO, US or UK troops either. All made up. Otherwise show proof.
Yes, Crimea is a better target for Ukraine as the supply chain is longer and more problematic. The east borders directly onto Russia and without invading Russia it is simple to send Russian troops into the region. If Ukraine dont invade territory behind the Eastern land stolen by Russia it will be a no win situation. Ukraine are fighting with one hand tied behind their back. Russia needs a dose of its own medicine to get them to honour territorial boundaries.

True, Now is the time to strike, and strike hard while the enemy is reeling no let up lest they regroup and the war will take longer to finish. The icing on the cake is the downfall of Putin and his regime.

Everyone thinks because Russia tactically withdrew from Kherson that they are failing.
They had 30,000 men in Kherson, they could have kept hold of the city, it just would have cost too much and they risked being encircled.
Ukraine have reached their high water mark in this conflict, Russian are bringing 300k men to front soon, its all down hill for Ukraine from here, and no amount of western money and weapons will change that.

China and Russia only recently agreed on territorial boundaries on the east. If I was Xi I would be looking to retake Eastern Russia, much more than Taiwan. China could just walk in to Eastern Russia unopposed, and who knows, maybe planning to do just that.
China is apparently already attracting Russia allies, like for ex: Kyrsgistan & co to move into or closer of their sphere of influence and off the russian.
I remember that time when Germany and Russia had an agreement also.
Inte little lnger run that is exactly what is going to happen.Russia took failrly large parts of China in a string of hard and force ”peaces” in the 1800s…At some point in the future when Putin and Jinping are not longer there/best friends this is going to be the main world conflict
China have 10 times the population and what 12-15 times the economy…Russia is a basket case in so many aspects
Let's see if Russia will act on that nuclear threat if their territorial integrity is compromised.
Belt and road process will eat Russia up.
It's interesting to hear a connected person finally talking about the eventuality of China taking back their lands that Russia took from back at the end of WWII. Its a maneuver that has much more upside than an attack on Taiwan, which is mainly just a propaganda campaign due to history. In real terms though, Russia is no longer able to operate the oil facilities in the East due to sanctions and operating companies leaving but if China took them over then those facilities could be turned back on and contracted companies could go back in. I doubt China wants to risk all out war with Russia but if Russia breaks up, as this Advisor suggests is possible, it seems very plausible that China would retake Manchurian lands taken from them in the past. They could even use the same talking points that the Russians use about Crimea and Donbass in that those lands of Outer Manchuria are ethnically majority Chinese. Plus when you look at Google Maps on the area, you see Chinese cities and infrastructure that is literally built right up to the border where as there is hardly anything on the Russian side. Clearly China will make much more use out of the area should that happen.
Do you really think China prefers the Russian lands more then Taiwan? All that micro chip industry and full control of the sea root?
@@DanielCosta-zp6jl Of course it does! China needs resources beyond imagination!
@@DanielCosta-zp6jl The industry is only valuable if you know how to run it. The main Taiwanese company that makes those is building a massive complex in Arizona right now. You can have all the facilities but without the people and the knowledge to run them, its just a building with stuff in it. If China had the knowledge to do it, they would do it but they dont. That's why the semi-conductor embargo on them hurts them so much. It's not worth the risk to enter full scale warfare against the US there. They see what has happened to Russia in their failed invasion. The CCP cant afford that kind of a failure internally. The easy win is to wait for Russia to fall apart and then take back those lands that China lost in the war to Russia. That is just as much of a propaganda win for the CCP and that is the most valuable thing to them when it comes to engaging in a war.

Chaos in every corner of the world these days.
@Real Aiglon Well said.
Putin's invasion of Ukraine, his greed, fear and ignorance, has led to the deaths of around 100,000 Russians (troops sent to support the invasion of Ukraine) and perhaps around 100,000 Ukrainians (40,000 troops, 60,000 civilians - including children, elderly). It's led to the destruction of millions of people's lives and homes. And Putin's invasion has also released a massive increase in the release of greenhouses gases.
Russia and the people of Russia would gain so much if Putin disappeared.
Putin broke Russia's 1994 treaty to respect the borders and sovereignty of Ukraine when Putin invaded Ukraine's Crimea region.
humanity IS chaos. The breeding, the hate, the hunger for power, the ignorance and the religions all contribute to 8,000 years of killing and torture.

Honestly though, they're getting more barbaric by the day. Nothing good seems to be coming from the "Motherland". I do feel bad for the Russians who opposes this war and publicly protecting it.
Interesting thought that China's interest may be diverted from Taiwan to Siberia. Imagine if a referendum was held there and Chinese workers were given a vote on whether to annex parts of that territory? Just desserts.
Missing the point that if the Ukrainians cross the Dnieper River and cut off the canal above the dam, that's 80% of Crimea's water supply gone.
Russia had no issue with destroying all the infrastructure of Kherson leaving the people with no water or other life sustaining necessities.
Except that the Ukrainians actually care about loss of life.
Erm...
According to several sources they're across already - the western 'spit'
They will cut off the water. In what world do you supply an attacking country with water and infrastructure? No no no, if Putin wants Crimea he can manage it himself, let him find his own water.
@@Vykandar Which is why the Russians aren't going to give up that partcof Ukraine without a fight ..if they loose the canal, they've lost Crimea.
And probably why there's odd hints of Russia wanting 'peace talks' to presumably redraw their borders to more or less where they are now.
Can't see that happening either - Ukrainians are on a roll, drones attacking Ukraine are either in short supply or the anti drone defences are better, US will continue support after the Democrats won the mid-terms and Europe isn't buckling because of the lack of Russian gas.
Unless Putin goes Doomsday, he's stuffed.

I want Times Radio to give John Pienaar more interview time. He is way and above the best presenter, particularly with the retired Generals.
The issue is how much firepower is left there to defend the Crimea?. I mean seriously seems like they left too much behind and of course they never ever thought they had to defend it, and putting any good troops and gear in crimea with only a weak bridge to run out on is madness.

Millions died though.🙄
I think the end will come a lot quicker than most believe. As the saying goes " you go bankrupt slowly then you go bankrupt very quickly"
Russia has been losing slowly but now the pace is speeding up, both on the battlefield and politically.
The turning point will be the onset of winter, a winter that Russian troops are poorly prepared for.
There are only two supply routes into and out of Crimea, the Kursk bridge which is currently under repair and overland.
The overland route is well within range of Ukrainian platforms and the bridge as we have seen is very vulnerable to attack, and if anyone believes that was a truck bomb with 25 tons of explosive as reported by the Russians they will believe anything.
Starve Crimea and the war is theirs and so far the tactic of identifying their supply hubs and destroying them has worked very well I just hope they continue.
Seems to me that it would be prudent to take a few Russian military and power bases out during the winter. I know it would be a terrible hardship for the people, but Ukrainians are facing the same crisis. You have to strike when the enemy least expects it.
Not quite sure what you mean by "power bases." Maybe electrical grid infrastructure? That would be a war crime. But military bases are always legitimate targets. Maybe step up Special Operations during the Winter.
Being nice gives Ukraine leverage in the negotiations.
@@edonveil9887 The first condition for negotiations should be that before they even begin, Putin and all the people in Russia with any sort of power who supported Putin have to all be publicly hung in Red Square with the executions broadcast live to the world on every news channel on the planet. The second condition should be that the new Russian government has to make Putinism a crime with a mandatory sentence of instant death without trial and enforec this law so strictly that Draco of Athens would call the enforcement harsh.
After that, Russia has to give up all the parts of Ukraine they stole starting with the stuff in 2014 and all Russian sympathizers still in those regions need to be rounded up and exiled to Siberia. Then the negotiations can begin.
It is now almost certain, that the Ukrainian army has quite recently made a successful landing operation to the Kinburn peninsula to the West of the river delta of Dnipro. From there is is possible to advance first to the East to basal of this peninsula and from there to the South to Crimea. Those attacking troops don't need to cross Dnipro anymore, that is big advantage. However this peninsula is 35 km long and in it's Eastern part only four km wide, so the Russian army has a good change to stop the advanging Ukrainian army there. But the area immediately to the East of this peninsula is practially roadless, so the supplying of the Russian defenders will be difficult. On the other hand the bay is narrow, so the Ukrainians can with relatively easily to supply their troops. And they have a stong artillery and lots of rocket-launchers pretty near on the mainland. So they can have the Russians troops in Kinburn under constant shelling. If the Ukrainian army will be able to break through from the Kinburn peninsula, it can rotate the strongest Russian defensive lines on the Western side. Then the road to Crimea will be free.
The Ukrainian army will probably pretty soon start an offensive in the Zaporizhzhia front heading first to the South to Melitopol and from there to Dzamkoi in North-Eastern Crimea.
In the Luhansk front the advancing Ukrainian army has reached so called Toblerone line and quite recently managed to breake in some places. This line was much weaker than expected. The fighting moral of the Russian soldiers is low. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
The Kinburn peninsula is also a beautiful and unique nature reserve and it would be a shame to destroy it - the Ukrainians certainly won't do it, but the vile Russians...
Understatement.

I wouldn't be ruling anything out at this point, Putin knows the Americans are trying to destroy Russia, and he isn't going to let that happen.
Looking at the state of the Russian army in general, it begs the question, what state are the nuclear weapons in?
I think the chances of that have gone down considerably, especially since Putin has moved on to a series of other strange claims. But I don't think it's ever a good idea to dismiss the possibility of nukes entirely.
@@davidevans6051 Probably explode at the launch sites.
If I were Putin the last chef I would want near my food is Prigozhin.
The glorious Ukrainian army will go down in history. President Zelenskyy is an outstanding leader.
Crimea is next.
Ukraine have already crossed the river
I hope so!!
it would be deliusional to think that all russian forces will throw there weapons away and surrender to their enemies on the ukrainian army´s advance in to crimea.. some may perhaps be willing to fight or die, whereas others to want simply go home, others may simply "follow orders"
it is also unwise for a general to underestimate the forces of the enemy. this leads to defeat and disaster.
@@Manwendlil no. I'm saying they will be defeated because they are an inferior force?
Ukraine can't cross the river and bring their heavy metal with them (tanks, artillery, etc). It'd be suicide. They have to go around the river now.

what is the title of the movie?
SLAVA UKRAYINI. WE ARE NOT AGAINST THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE BUT THE NAZIS WHO ARE IN POWER. THE PEOPLE DESERVE A REAL DEMOCRACY IN RUSSIA.
Funny, because real the real Nazis are holding power in Kiev, discriminating Russian population and literally dehumanizing them by calling them 'orks'.
Putin will lead the final battle himself, riding a white horse and carrying the Russian Colors on a staff. He will only be wearing Jackboots and a Red Jockstrap.
A VERY SMALL red jockstrap. And I don’t mean tight-fitting.
Lol
And wrestling a bear as he does so.
A care bear.
A little pink care bear.
No one is more worthy.

Perfect explanation of Ukrainian military success. They have an officer corp dedicated to victory… Europe has an officer corp dedicated to managing expectations.
And Russia has an ambidextrous officer corps, dedicated (at the same time) to:
1) telling the Kremlin what they want to hear, regardless of the truth; and
2) ripping off Russia’s military budget for their personal enrichment.
For Russia's national interest, Putin SHOULD step down and let brand new leaders to negotiate long-term peace with the West, and keep a distance from China. China is a foe, not friend.
Excellent perspective.
Russians go home and live home with peace like Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤❤❤❤
He did not say that, a journalist asked it as a question and he repeated it rhetorically! Then went on to say that he did not think it the beginning of the end .. but a great struggle lay ahead! Stop the misinformation!
Summary: Ukraine is winning; Russia is losing. And this scenario will continue.
💯
A failed state with nukes is a nightmare.
True, ruSSia should be de-nuked asap.
Let’s hope the Ruzzian federation is subdued by the embarrassing losses in Ukraine
All the "Experts" said the Ukraine wont last a week against Russia. Will they take Crimea? Yes.
Thank You for the news, Komrad Obvious
Civlians in Crimea and other Russian occupied territories should get early warning to leave the warzone to decrease collateral deaths
Wy give a warning
Is this the longest time we haven't heard from Putin? It feels like it. Maybe he's already left the country and the military to fend for itself while he disappears into the arms of some warm welcoming Arabic nation.
Maybe he down a rat pipe. Is home i ment too say😁
Once Ukraine has won, with it's allies support, it would be very very interesting if Ukraine was given the opportunity to administer Humanitarian Aid to Russia after Putin is gone.
The opportunity for them to forgive and help heal and show the world the best way forward would be awesome to watch.
Obviously it would need oversight by the countries funneling the aide.
Are You serious
I'm sure the concept is humane and compassionate. But have you spoken to any Ukrainians about this? They are in no mood to forgive. Once they get Russia back to the true borders it is going to take generations to begin healing.
Don’t be ridiculous. Ukraine suffered greatly under this Russian invasion and they won’t forget easily. Also Russia will have to pay reparations to Ukraine for decades so they can rebuild. Nobody will help Russia so they can go back to bullying the world again.
Where is Putin? Far, Far Away. Not with his troops to visit. To scared to attend the G20. The White Feather leader.
That's your typical British appeaser... It's Chamberlain all over again with these guys...
Heroyam Slava 🇺🇦
Militarily it's tough for Ukraine to really take Crimea or push into Donbas because of the sheer numbers of Russians soldiers. There was an interview with a Ukrainian tank team yesterday returning to Kherson after fighting on the front lines and they spoke about how difficult it was to make progress as every time they took out a line, they were quickly replaced.
Literally canon fodder, its awful waste of human souls, but the Russian leadership does not care about its ppl who are either former prisoners or drafted with more experienced behind them in a back up line.
That being said, Ukrainians have been rewriting how to be agile and creative in battles so I wldnt bet against them.
The rest is political pressure, only continued successes will add to that as well as factories etc being set alight in Russia to show internal unrest, sabotage.
Ukraine has a geographical advantage with Crimea
@@jailbreak852 I am hoping this is the case. 🤞
The professional Ukrainian army has largely been destroyed by Russia so the Ukrainian army is now made up of huge numbers of conscripts and volunteers in addition to tens of thousands of mercenaries many of them serving Polish soldiers changing their uniforms.
@@mourneslad6819 It sounds like you've interwoven truth with fiction. IF true, can you share your source? Happy to be corrected.
In my opinion, although sadly they have lost a lot of soldiers, it is incorrect to say almost ALL professional Ukrainian soldiers have been lost. IF that had been the case it wld be chaotic to control the counter offensives and they wld be over run by the Russians by sheer numbers alone on the Russian side.
To counter expected losses, since March Ukraine has been actively rotating training for newbies so to counter. For instance recently it was confirmed that approx 7k soldiers have been trained in the UK. As they pass their training they aren't assigned to the front lines but gain experience first and are then moved up in the rotation.
And as evidenced by the battles won, the Ukrainian soldiers gain experience quickly. Their main goal is not to lose lives so they do their damnest to mitigate that unlike the Russians who don't seem to care whether the immobilized are trained or not (Russian confirmation).
Not sure what you mean by the Poles. But there are a number of foreign squads - such as:
1) Belarus Volunteer army
2) Foreign Legion made up of many nationalities like Canadians, UK US, Aussie, Poles etc volunteers
3) Chechnyan Battalion
4) Georgian
It's a fallacy to say the Ukrainian forces are being propped up foreign forces pretending to be Ukrainian. There's no need to pretend. Can you confirm your source?
btw no Nazis, no NATO, US or UK troops either. All made up. Otherwise show proof.
You are not taking into consideration the new "tools" that Ukraine has to fight with.
General Ben Hodges states Ukraine has reached unstoppable momentum and Russia will be driven out of Crimea this summer.
Yes, Crimea is a better target for Ukraine as the supply chain is longer and more problematic.
The east borders directly onto Russia and without invading Russia it is simple to send Russian troops into the region.
If Ukraine dont invade territory behind the Eastern land stolen by Russia it will be a no win situation.
Ukraine are fighting with one hand tied behind their back.
Russia needs a dose of its own medicine to get them to honour territorial boundaries.
