"Ukrainian terrorists in Kursk region are shooting at everything that moves and are reportedly even taking civilian hostages." - Censorship is unacceptable.
Taking civilian hostage is elsewhere called a valid option of resistance from occupation. I suppose Russian can't blame Ukraine for having same behaviour of their middle eastern friends.
@@rikforfun9139 It is a war crime everywhere. It is what the Nazis did in WW II. The German army ruined Germany;s name, in WW I by doing that in Belgium. They took and murdered civilian hostages to retaliate against the French and other resistance activity. Nazis who did that were hanged after the war. Neither Russia or Ukraine should take hostages. They both have an obligation to evacuate them from the fighting and it is likely that the other side will call that taking hostages for propaganda reasons. It does not seem like either side is committing a lot of crimes against civilians since the military casualties are way higher than the civilian ones. In most modern wars, civilian casualties are way higher.
Well. That's what Ukraine wants. Push Putin for "extraordinary measures", total mobilization which will lead to economic crisis in Russia and social troubles. For now Russia has been to able to recruit only on voluntary base, keep the economy and the public's opinion well. Ukraine war has always been about pushing Russia into a total war to create troubles and social unrest. Ukraine's victory has never been on the table for NATO. What the West wants is Putin to be removed. And Putin knows it.

I am getting annoyed with " mappers" like Dima ,weeb union and others. What Ukraine Forces have accomplished is essentially 'raids' into Russia. Saying things like "captured land" or a certain village "will fall "No, capturing land means you secure it and build defenses not hide in open step lands. How will an entire Ukraine brigade be resupplied under Air attacks, it needs Air cover and how will it stand against up to 500,000 Russian soldiers in the region? Why has Kiev evacuated 30 border line villages How will this end? obviously it will end like the other adventures within days being the complete destruction of Ukraine Forces and Russia start establishing a new 'Buffer Zone' in the Sumy Region Ukraine has sealed its fate and demonstrated it has no interest in peace, it is all talk and Russia will have complete support by the Global majority and every right to respond in anyway it wants.
They are trying to appear more "realist" by not looking like they're just pro-Russian propagandists. However this is not one of those situations, they are giving the AFU too much credit despite it being clear this offensive is not achieving anything. Also greetings my Macedonian brother 🇷🇸🇲🇰
Dima even said that he isn't colouring the area in yellow quite yet because Ukraine is using kharkov "counteroffensive" tactics. Did you even listen to the first minute of this video? And fact is, the Ukrainian forces are currently occupying some villages. We will see if they can hold them.
Exactly. But the losing side has always relied on information war. Take a little diddly squat of empty land then get the bots to scream "ruzzin failure!" and MIC gets more contracts like poof.
Another PR stunt to get people's attention. So people forget how badly it's going for them in the Donbas, how Mali and Niger have broken diplomatic ties with them, how their economy is tanking and have defaulted, how the people in ukraine are rebelling against mobilization, how their so-called partners are not reliable, the list goes on and on. Also, they feel too many eyes are on israel and iran and so they have to do desperate things to get people's attention.
In a few days, maybe week or two everyone will be forgetting this happened. Ukraine can’t sustain what they’re doing. Either way, Russian army caught sleeping again. They’re pretty shameful honestly.
@@a.p5193the Ukrainians won't need to defend it. This Ukrainian last ditch move's entire point is to get Putin to massively escalate.

you cant reform having a corrupt/real richest man alive ruling the place. any reduction in corruption further down the chain will just be appropriated by the man at the top
@@antonpoigner-woisinger2105 Actually Gerasimov was fighting in the headquarters with leaders telling them this initial attack plan was going to be a disaster and that the forces are nowhere near enough for major operation like that, but they didnt listen to him. He was the one who suggested to retreating in key areas to save the army instead of fighting in open areas and getting destroyed. This is source from some trustable people knowing everything that is going on in the army. Those guys say that this public information is nonsense and that Gerasimov is the reason the army was not destroyed initially. They say Shoigu should be inprisoned, but speak highly of Gerasimov.
Suja was not taken. There are too few forces to capture territories, this is a 1/3 adventure already with Ms. Farion. Budanov's adventure, as well as the Krynki landing in the Crimea. They no longer have the strength to fight for Donbass, which is why they commit suicide. For Bulanov's boys, 500,000 soldiers are needed, not 1,000
Meanwhile, Ukraine is busy committing military suicide with its PR attack into Russian territory near Kursk. The attacking force lacked air cover and the power to sustain the attack. The Ukrainian troops were savaged by Russian air strikes, artillery and drones. Some have opined that this was a feint or a diversion, i.e., focus Russian attention in the north and then strike at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Maybe, but Ukraine lost significant resources in terms of men and equipment that cannot be easily replaced. Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that Ukraine managed to reach Kursk. Okay. How do they resupply their troops and sustain the momentum of the attack. Russia has a wealth of resources - manpower, combat air, artillery and drones - to bog the Ukrainians down and chew them up. Those who believe that this would force Russia to seek a negotiated end to the war are the same delusional clowns who promised that Ukrainian troops would be sloshing around on the beaches of Crimea last summer. This attack is likely to have the opposite effect - Russia will accelerate its offensive against Ukraine and will not negotiate until Ukraine begs for mercy. - Sonar21
Dima: Putin never bluffs. If he says he will create a buffer zone he will do so. To me this looks like Putin's plan anyway, as Sumy and the Chernigov are the next front lines which will increase the Kiev loss rate to 75'000 a month. At the end, all territory East of the Dnepr will be Russian - and then this affair will be over.
Even pro-Ukrainian commentators are aghast about this obvious waste of men and resources: Tatarigami_UA @Tatarigami_UA - 14:23 UTC · Aug 6, 2024: The situation in the Pokrovsk direction is critical, with defenses in several areas collapsed and yet to stabilize, largely due to a shortage of personnel. Diverting nearly a brigade to launch an assault on Kursk Oblast, which lacks strategic sense, borders on mental disability.
This Ukrainian last ditch move's entire point is to get Putin to massively escalate. That would give NATO the mandate it needs to put boots on the ground - which is what Zelensky wants at this point & is willing to pay with the lives of these troops to get it.
@@AlexKarasevNATO is not gonna put boots on the ground for Ukraine. Thats pure nonsense. If this operation aims at that it wont end well. But its sad that Ukraine doesnt have resources Russia has. They are much better fighters in my opinion.
@@saellenx3528 I'm a Russian (and treasure that heritage of mine) but I agree with both of your statements. Albeit with the caveat for the latter that it's a generalization, and Russia thinks its big war is just ahead while for Ukraine this is it. And with the caveat for the former that trying to bust open the Zaporozhia nuclear power plant was a similarly daring attempt to add a new pivot to this conflict that'd give the West an extra degree of freedom to act, pre-tensioned of course to do so in the manner that thwarts Russia. NATO boots are on the ground already, unofficially & on the sneak, with intel, logistics, consulting, and operating the trickier kit. I'm friends w/someone whose dad waited (that's a euphemism; fought for) 30yrs for his VA benefits for Vietnam. Turns my stomach to imagine what it'll be like for any of those folks who get hurt.
@@AlexKarasev As of right now, anyone who was involved in Turchinov's ATO against the Donbas is ineligible for pension in the returned territories. All the disabled AFU vets will be a burden for the EU for the next 30+ years. EU taxpayers don't know what will hit them.
history legend the former IT support technician turned "general" with no military experience.. your better off asking the Janitor for military advice..
Russians are not pulling out any reserves from Vovchansk or from the east so there's a good chance that the group dedicated to the Sumy offensive is still somewhere in the Kursk region and will make its presence known very soon. So this is either a pre-emptive strike by AFU in order to gain initiative in the battle that was already coming, or they unwittingly poked the hornets nest.
I don't buy that this came as a total surprise to the Russians. They have complete satellite & drone surveillance and certainly knew about concentration of troops and military vehicles close to the border. This information did either not travel up the chain of command and will have consequences for the responsible persons or the Russian high command decided to let the Ukraines walk in and creating another meatgrinder for themselves.
The hysterical voices that are now heard about the ukronaz1 raid on Kursk are the same ones that were heard during the ukronaz1 raid on Belgorod. And they are also the same ones who later forgot about their own hysteria.
1. how does Russia miss the concentration of force before the attack? is there no reconnaissance operation on the border? 2. How is the Ukraine force using the roads like they are open and Russian armada always fell to drone trap. conclusion: The Russian military need to update 1. it's proactive border reconnaissance activity. 2. it's first repose team or special force 3. Federal Security Service (FSB) need a batter personnel in those area
I ask the same questions. How could this even be possible? No mines and stongholds on the border? No recon that sees a huge concetration of troops and amored vehicles nearby? No fast reaction force? "Buffer" zone: An absolutely "laughable" offensive operation. Where is the "stong newly created russian army group in the north"? Still no clue how to save own soldiers and equipment but never talk about own losses. And where is the massive industrial russian output in tanks, afv's, aircraft, and so on? Still no real option on how to deal with drones on brigade level and no real big offensive with concentrated ground forces and russian air force working together. And all this after 2 1/2 years of special military operation... . Western politicians have been fooling western european people from the beginning in telling Russia won't stop after Ukraine. That was clear to me from the beginning as I trust Putin more in foreign politics than western polititicans. But what wasn't clear back then: That russian military couldn't invade other european countries because their military doctrine and equipment is so weak or misused in many ways. Sad for all the brave soldiers (and all people) dying and suffering from this war on all sides. Most people don't wan't war. Most people want peace and friendship with Russia.
It is possible that Russia wanted to draw the enemy out of their defences so that they could be destroyed easily. These forces can easily be destroyed while they rush forward outside of artillery and air cover. It’s a tactic as old as the mongol horde. Russia used this tactic against the Germans in ww2 and Napoleon. How many men and armoured vehicles have the Ukrainians lost in this movement? Ultimately the success of the offensive will all depend on whether Ukraine can continue to move forward and consolidate their gains, failure will be getting destroyed or bogged down holding a non strategic point and stretching their already stretched manpower on a another front. We will see what happens in the next week.
Weeb union heard from insiders Russia was clearing mines in Kursk area for an offensive there. Ukraine got wind of this and exploited this intel thus did a preemptive strike into the Kursk area. Baffling the Russian high command. A Russian army that was about to partake in this offensive is said to be close and on the ready. Ukraine is fighting a hopeless battle soon.
If that were true there would be Russians there to to resist the Ukrainians. Raiding parties have already crossed the Russian border twice. There have never been any significant minefields in that area.
@@sapphosplace Thats not true at all. Letting idiots expand past their logistics is a tried and true tactic. Example: El Alamin ww2 The problem is people today think in video game terms "if Ukraine holds that capture point the victory points will go up and Russia will lose the match!"
@@off6848 Nah, Russia got complacent after 2.5 years of Tens of Thousands of Ukrainian troops just sitting on their side of the border and doing nothing while they throw their best troops into the meat grinder. They are just continuing Russia's 200 year tradition of military of Incompetency.
Although the amount of territory Ukraine has been able to penetrate, doesn't mean they occupy and hold the territory. You need a lot of troops to hold that much land, and a huge amount of support and supplies. Something Ukraine doesn't have. Yes recon elements are penetrating deep, but once Russia is able to assemble a large number of forces, it will be able to reclaim their territory quickly. They have better support and resupply channels, as well as air superiority. Seems Russia has lost a lot of territory, but withdrawing until you can better secure your lines is a tactical strategy. Now they're bringing insignificant forces to overwhelm Ukraine.
The UAF were (again) able to launch a surprise attack - pretty unforgivable if you take into account Russian ISR and human intelligence capabilities against Ukraine - but this ultimately works against Ukraine. The UAF does not have the logistics and manpower to backup any significant breakthrough. The more extended, the bigger the problem. The more time, the bigger the problem. The Russians may lose territory, but Russia is big and once the surprise is over, the response will be another meat grinder. That said, for the moment this is a huge propaganda victory for Ukraine at a time they need victories to show their western proxy controllers they are still worth the investment. More time is more money. Also undermining Russian public confidence and support for the war may force Russia to be more open to negotiations. Even if the UAF may fail to reach any operational breakthrough, this is another example of Russian military complacency that will be paid in more lives and destruction.
It’s total incompetence and undermines belief in Russian intel and defense capabilities. The penetration in 2 days compared with the halting Russian penetration in Kharkiv looks impressive. Russia has been humiliated.
A small humiliation is not that bad when they have won the war. I think many people and historians will remember this as an obvious turning point for the end of the war. Even fiercely Pro Ukrainian newspaper as Financial Times is saying that this attack is only hastening Ukraines problems
@@daisuke6072apples and oranges, the UAF were prepared in Kharkiv, the Russian troops guarding the border were not. However I agree it is failure of intelligence and preparation on the side of the Russian military leadership. I describe it as complacency, if not incompetence at some levels. The Russian military should by now know the Ukrainians, some sort of attack was even telegraphed by Kiev. Certainly a much needed propaganda success for Kiev for both domestic, western and maybe even Russian public consumption. Russia is big, it can easily swallow up divisions, but Moscow still has to take into account public sentiment. For now this is a big propaganda defeat, overshadowing the military more significant Russian gains.
.the stupidity of this attack, demonstrated to the whole world that UKr and Israel do NOT want peace! now even those who were still on the Ukr side, see that their peace eorts were in vain! china, africa, etc
Why would Ukraine want peace when 20% of its territory is occupied? They have shown with this that they are very capable and competent fighters unlike Russians who advance 100 meters per day lol.
@@saellenx3528 It's better to advance 100 meters per day carefully than to lose 40% of the entire attack force in a single day after stretching too much in enemy territory.
Let me correct God has nothing to do with human stupidity...😉 War mongers are out of God unconditional love. Christ didn't go to war against roman army but died on the cross instead...
Well the Russian army has been described as incompetent from the beginning. It depends what you are comparing it with. The humiliation performance of the Americans plus NATO in Afghanistan?

Yes, his sarcasm is becoming less guarded all the time. He said something yesterday, I forget exactly, completely "straight faced" about fighting "probably with forks or something" that had me laughing for a while.
Its funny as the US forbade the use of their equipment on pre 1994 areas, they have shot themselves in the foot, if the US does nothing then can see the red sea carrier going down
It seems to me all great armies have poor leaders. The Americans in Vietnam and Afghanistan the British in the First World War. The British officer class were responsible for the enormous loss of life without any appreciable gain. ( 40,000 lost in one battle and gained nothing) In the Boer war a million British troops faced an army of only a few thousand untrained Boers armed with Mauser rifles and were humiliated. The British army won by putting the Boers wives and children in concentration camps where thousands of died. I am English by the way
That the US was not informed must be a lie. Some German officials were claiming that Ukraine is planning something big for 2nd part of Summer and now we are here. If Germans knew, then the US definitely knew first. I am wondering if this is finally a reason to save some lives and use the "strategic tactical resources in form of a black radiating dot on a yellow background"?
That was an armistice not a surrender. The terms agreed for the ceasefire were harsh but no German troops surrendered laying down arms. 1945 was an unconditional surrender
@@JesterEric Are you FOR REAL ???? Here's the terms of the Armistace that you describe as "harsh," and "not a surrender" : The Allies must hand over : NOTHING. The Germans must hand over : All battleships. All submarines. All tanks. All Fokker D7s. 25,000 machine guns. All artillery pieces. Ahem...! Anyone can see that is NOT a deal between equals, and if the truce were to prove unsatisfactory to the Allies, and they were to resume hostilities, the fighting that ensued would be an absolutely lopsided slaughter of everything in a German uniform....
@@JesterEric You are right. it is not important what you sell. More important is how you sell it. French also signed "armistice" in 1940. *** Here is another masterpiece of diplomatic euphemism: "The war has ended, not necessarily to the advantage of Japan" - Emperor of Japan addressing the nation after (un)conditional capitulation in 1945
This is just like the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, the Germans were trapped on all sides, by British, American and Soviet forces and they wanted to break-out of the encirclement, so they deployed all their remaining Armour. Yes, American forces were captured in the Arden forest, but the British, under Montgomery, quickly surrounded the Germans and destroyed their Armour. The affect of all this was to leave Berlin without strategic reserves to defend Berlin and the Soviet forces rode straight into Berlin.
Ukraine gamble is still dangerous and should not be underestimated. They want to use the captured Kursk territories as bargaining chip to force the Russians to leave parts of Kharkiv. If this fails, the soldiers of the Ukrainian army will be utterly disheartened.
The incursion in Kursk is probably not blessed by none and that part of state line was probably negotiated not to be tresspased as there were no nationalistic agressions before now.... That move is a direct provocation and escallation of the conflict. Ivbelieve strongly this move will backfire dearly by braking negotiated engagement rules.
My question is why the border region in Kursk Oblast wasn't secured with mindefields, strongholds and enough troops nearby for a defensive operation? And why wasn't the accumulation of ukrainian troops, tanks and armored vehicles not seen before the attack? That's definitely not good for the prestige of the russian armed forces.
@@Stormyy6310 The Russian army prestige was dead 3 days after the failing of the full scale SMO. And it got worse when thousands of txx tank turrets started to fly into orbit. Time to wake up ruscist.
@@GeorgesPatapon I'm sure you believe billions of Russian soldiers are dead due to human wave offensives and hundreds of thousands of vehicles have been destroyed all at the cost of 31K Ukrainian soldiers, maybe that explains why the Ukrainians are able to win so many battles and take so many cities, in fact they're already in Crimea I think... Oh wait, the truth is it's time for you to wake up and look at the reality of things, Russia is outproducing an entire alliance despite having a fraction of the budget all this while maintaining a growing economy despite being under every sanction under the Sun, the countries which are fueling their little proxy war have dumped hundreds of Billions of $ for nothing, Ukraine will lose no matter how many battles they win on social media, I hope you realize that your taxmoney is being spent in vain by the leaders you elected

Sudzha is no encircled. Drg forces are in the western side, but meeting heavy resistance and the russians are pulling more forces. Wagner just arrived alongside Aida and Axmat. More forces of heavy of armor and aviation. This forces will get annihilated by the end of the week considering the forces on the way. People just dont learn. To establish a front you have to build echolonated defenses behind you. Good luck to Ukraine with that with russian aviation and drone with artillery pounding them. This is just stupidity a strategic blunder imo. Yeah you get tik tok clicksbaits, but what do you achieve in the strategic point? This will just motivate russians more and the counter will be devestating.
@@andrew30m Lol. Axmat was not even in that direction. Only conscripts where there and they dont have sufficient enough forces to stop the attack. Russians are already containing the attack and causing hevay loses on Ukraine. In few days they will gatter forces and go for a counter. If anyone thinks ukrainians will manage to hold the line with terrible logistics when they cant hold anything anywhere else are just simply living in a different plane of reality. Those incursion forces will either retreat in a week or face total destruction. When artillery forces move closer, civilians are more or less evacuated and armored forces pull. Its going to be total demolition. Its just amazing that time and time again those incursion attacks fail and people still think it will do anything.Specially in Kursk direction a very symbolic area for Russians. If you think Russians will allow anyone live after invading kursk, you live in big delusion. Kursk has a very symbolic value for Russians.

Thank you, Dima!!! I don't intend to criticize or point the finger at anyone, but it's time to understand that haste can distort everything you say in your own video. I think it's good advice when I tell you not to rush. Those conclusions about the attack with Iskander are wrong and that only for one reason: the rush to move on to the next idea. There are many situations when a single unanalyzed detail can tip the balance in the wrong direction. Why am I saying this? Because, if we watch that video complete, not fast forward, we will clearly see the result, which is different from the conclusions stated here. After the cluster munition explosions, some small details are clearly visible, which show a completely different conclusion. First of all, the red smoke , from a signal rocket fired by the Ukcros it appeared, which means signaling "help", "evacuation". Then, after some time, it is noticed that only one armored vehicle has left the area, two others are on fire and most importantly, no movement of Ukrainian soldiers can be seen. So, for an outsider, this clearly means that the Ukrainians are no longer in that area. And I don't think I'm wrong when I say that. There would be other small observations to make, but as we all know, no one is perfect .. I can also be wrong when I conclude something.
tactically speaking, Sudzha seemed like a good target for Ukraine to take an area of Russian territory. The best option for Ukraine there is to hold what they have, try to fortify behind a river line and halt Russian counterattacks. Even a few brigades of Ukrainians could stay there for months if they dig in, we can see that in other places. The position however doesn't do anything to reverse Russian momentum in the war, or give Ukraine any leverage to negotiate (in fact the Russians will be even more hostile due to this). It appears to be pointless.
How was Ukraine able to launch such a big attack inside Russia, taking so much territory in such short time, while its taking Russia a hole munth to capture one Block this doesent make any sence someone explain to me let me understand...
Its less captured and more like there are just soldiers in the area. No one expected them to be stupid enough to attack so it was poorly manned area. Ukraine simply stormed it and killed some unsuspecting conscripts. But they dont really hold the area in the sense that everything there is under their control.
Because there were barely any russian troops in the area to stop them, mostly border guards and conscripts. It's not hard to advance when there's no one to stop you. Russian forces in the east on the other hand have to overcome strong resistance from the ukrainians in order to move past trenches and fortified positions that's why their advance is slower.
Couse that is modern mobile warfare. They simply went into firepocket, where they are being targeted by aviation, artillery and drones, couse there are no fortification lines. Ukraine is having big loses. Also they cannot to do any significant development of situation, couse Russian war doctrine allows to use tactical nukes in case there would be brought too much enemy forces.
Ukraine learned from its mistake , instead of posting about how they are going to attack Russia like they did in the summer counter offensive 2023 they quietly organized an offensive that no one suspected
Will interesting to see if Ukraine is able to dig in and fortify any positions they have managed to enter in Russia. This would be a huge embarrassment for Putin and could lead to his fall from power 🤔
Really, I gotta hand it to the Ukrainians. Let's be frank--the Russians got overconfident, concentrating on offense and left the border pretty lightly defended, Ukrainians made a gutsy move and caught them with their pants down. Unfortunately for Ukraine, the difference between Russia and Ukraine at this point of the war is, Russia has plenty of reserves it's never touched, whereas Ukraine had to strip forces from elsewhere on the front to pull this off. So now Russia brings in those reserves and contains the situation, probably pushes Ukraine back . . . but back where Ukraine made it easier for Russia to push, Russia's just going to keep on pushing. When you're overmatched, pulling off a cool move just is not going to make much difference to the overall war.
USA dont know😂😂😂😂😂every toilet in Ukraine hide CIA agents,military officers and dont know😂😂😂😂they brake whole rules of this war like always in any wars
Dima, I was watching some Russian channels, and it looks like your reporting is too dramatized. It looks like most of your videos are little behind. According to some of the Russian TV, such as RT, most of the places you highlighted are in Russian control because I saw RT correspondent reporting from that area.
One wonders if all those Fab's, flame throwers, Eskanders, hypersonic missiles, etc...do really have real effect on the real outcome of war on the ground. While Russia needs at least 6 months to occupy an area of 100 sq kms using all those various weapons, Ukraine, with its smaller army and using less military technique, occupies a territory twice as large within a span of less than six days. People are beginning to question the competence of Russian military leaders and the effectiveness of their much advertised military equipment systems.
Ukrainians couldnt retake their territory nor cross the dnipro river and reach the south bank of Kherson so they had to attack a significantly less fortified civilian area within Russia lol

"Ukrainian terrorists in Kursk region are shooting at everything that moves and are reportedly even taking civilian hostages." - Censorship is unacceptable.
Taking civilian hostage is elsewhere called a valid option of resistance from occupation. I suppose Russian can't blame Ukraine for having same behaviour of their middle eastern friends.
So hamass are terrorists yes?
Terrorist?? 😂😂😂 what is Rusia ocupator in Ukraina?
@@rikforfun9139
It is a war crime everywhere. It is what the Nazis did in WW II. The German army ruined Germany;s name, in WW I by doing that in Belgium. They took and murdered civilian hostages to retaliate against the French and other resistance activity. Nazis who did that were hanged after the war.
Neither Russia or Ukraine should take hostages. They both have an obligation to evacuate them from the fighting and it is likely that the other side will call that taking hostages for propaganda reasons. It does not seem like either side is committing a lot of crimes against civilians since the military casualties are way higher than the civilian ones. In most modern wars, civilian casualties are way higher.

What Ukraine Forces have accomplished is essentially 'raids' into Russia. Saying things like "captured land" or a certain village "will fall "No, capturing land means you secure it and build defenses not hide in open step lands.
How will an entire Ukraine brigade be resupplied under Air attacks, it needs Air cover and how will it stand against up to 500,000 Russian soldiers in the region?
Why has Kiev evacuated 30 border line villages
How will this end? obviously it will end like the other adventures within days being the complete destruction of Ukraine Forces and Russia start establishing a new 'Buffer Zone' in the Sumy Region
Ukraine has sealed its fate and demonstrated it has no interest in peace, it is all talk and Russia will have complete support by the Global majority and every right to respond in anyway it wants.
They are trying to appear more "realist" by not looking like they're just pro-Russian propagandists.
However this is not one of those situations, they are giving the AFU too much credit despite it being clear this offensive is not achieving anything.
Also greetings my Macedonian brother 🇷🇸🇲🇰

The Ukrainians have taken two Russian defensive lines, they can use those and settle in and hold elections
Dima even said that he isn't colouring the area in yellow quite yet because Ukraine is using kharkov "counteroffensive" tactics. Did you even listen to the first minute of this video? And fact is, the Ukrainian forces are currently occupying some villages. We will see if they can hold them.

@@antonpoigner-woisinger2105 Actually Gerasimov was fighting in the headquarters with leaders telling them this initial attack plan was going to be a disaster and that the forces are nowhere near enough for major operation like that, but they didnt listen to him. He was the one who suggested to retreating in key areas to save the army instead of fighting in open areas and getting destroyed. This is source from some trustable people knowing everything that is going on in the army.
Those guys say that this public information is nonsense and that Gerasimov is the reason the army was not destroyed initially. They say Shoigu should be inprisoned, but speak highly of Gerasimov.
Suja was not taken. There are too few forces to capture territories, this is a 1/3 adventure already with Ms. Farion. Budanov's adventure, as well as the Krynki landing in the Crimea. They no longer have the strength to fight for Donbass, which is why they commit suicide. For Bulanov's boys, 500,000 soldiers are needed, not 1,000
Meanwhile, Ukraine is busy committing military suicide with its PR attack into Russian territory near Kursk. The attacking force lacked air cover and the power to sustain the attack. The Ukrainian troops were savaged by Russian air strikes, artillery and drones. Some have opined that this was a feint or a diversion, i.e., focus Russian attention in the north and then strike at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Maybe, but Ukraine lost significant resources in terms of men and equipment that cannot be easily replaced.
Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that Ukraine managed to reach Kursk. Okay. How do they resupply their troops and sustain the momentum of the attack. Russia has a wealth of resources - manpower, combat air, artillery and drones - to bog the Ukrainians down and chew them up. Those who believe that this would force Russia to seek a negotiated end to the war are the same delusional clowns who promised that Ukrainian troops would be sloshing around on the beaches of Crimea last summer.
This attack is likely to have the opposite effect - Russia will accelerate its offensive against Ukraine and will not negotiate until Ukraine begs for mercy. - Sonar21
Davydov will make a fortune on this operation. Contributions always increase after "fantastic" AFU victories. He sometimes gets $50 a pop.
And Mercy, will they beg for.
Dima: Putin never bluffs. If he says he will create a buffer zone he will do so.
To me this looks like Putin's plan anyway, as Sumy and the Chernigov are the next front lines which will increase the Kiev loss rate to 75'000 a month.
At the end, all territory East of the Dnepr will be Russian - and then this affair will be over.

Russians are not pulling out any reserves from Vovchansk or from the east so there's a good chance that the group dedicated to the Sumy offensive is still somewhere in the Kursk region and will make its presence known very soon.

I ask the same questions. How could this even be possible?
No mines and stongholds on the border? No recon that sees a huge concetration of troops and amored vehicles nearby?
No fast reaction force?
"Buffer" zone: An absolutely "laughable" offensive operation. Where is the "stong newly created russian army group in the north"?
Still no clue how to save own soldiers and equipment but never talk about own losses. And where is the massive industrial russian output in tanks, afv's, aircraft, and so on? Still no real option on how to deal with drones on brigade level and no real big offensive with concentrated ground forces and russian air force working together. And all this after 2 1/2 years of special military operation... .
Western politicians have been fooling western european people from the beginning in telling Russia won't stop after Ukraine. That was clear to me from the beginning as I trust Putin more in foreign politics than western polititicans.
But what wasn't clear back then: That russian military couldn't invade other european countries because their military doctrine and equipment is so weak or misused in many ways. Sad for all the brave soldiers (and all people) dying and suffering from this war on all sides. Most people don't wan't war. Most people want peace and friendship with Russia.
Unfortunately, Russian army is strong but has stupid army leaders
It is possible that Russia wanted to draw the enemy out of their defences so that they could be destroyed easily. These forces can easily be destroyed while they rush forward outside of artillery and air cover. It’s a tactic as old as the mongol horde. Russia used this tactic against the Germans in ww2 and Napoleon. How many men and armoured vehicles have the Ukrainians lost in this movement? Ultimately the success of the offensive will all depend on whether Ukraine can continue to move forward and consolidate their gains, failure will be getting destroyed or bogged down holding a non strategic point and stretching their already stretched manpower on a another front. We will see what happens in the next week.

Thank you Dima!
Although the amount of territory Ukraine has been able to penetrate, doesn't mean they occupy and hold the territory. You need a lot of troops to hold that much land, and a huge amount of support and supplies. Something Ukraine doesn't have. Yes recon elements are penetrating deep, but once Russia is able to assemble a large number of forces, it will be able to reclaim their territory quickly. They have better support and resupply channels, as well as air superiority. Seems Russia has lost a lot of territory, but withdrawing until you can better secure your lines is a tactical strategy. Now they're bringing insignificant forces to overwhelm Ukraine.

What do you mean by that? "Some activity may not appear yet" ?
The UAF were (again) able to launch a surprise attack - pretty unforgivable if you take into account Russian ISR and human intelligence capabilities against Ukraine - but this ultimately works against Ukraine. The UAF does not have the logistics and manpower to backup any significant breakthrough. The more extended, the bigger the problem. The more time, the bigger the problem. The Russians may lose territory, but Russia is big and once the surprise is over, the response will be another meat grinder. That said, for the moment this is a huge propaganda victory for Ukraine at a time they need victories to show their western proxy controllers they are still worth the investment. More time is more money. Also undermining Russian public confidence and support for the war may force Russia to be more open to negotiations. Even if the UAF may fail to reach any operational breakthrough, this is another example of Russian military complacency that will be paid in more lives and destruction.
It’s total incompetence and undermines belief in Russian intel and defense capabilities. The penetration in 2 days compared with the halting Russian penetration in Kharkiv looks impressive. Russia has been humiliated.
A small humiliation is not that bad when they have won the war. I think many people and historians will remember this as an obvious turning point for the end of the war. Even fiercely Pro Ukrainian newspaper as Financial Times is saying that this attack is only hastening Ukraines problems
@@daisuke6072apples and oranges, the UAF were prepared in Kharkiv, the Russian troops guarding the border were not. However I agree it is failure of intelligence and preparation on the side of the Russian military leadership. I describe it as complacency, if not incompetence at some levels.

Certainly a much needed propaganda success for Kiev for both domestic, western and maybe even Russian public consumption. Russia is big, it can easily swallow up divisions, but Moscow still has to take into account public sentiment. For now this is a big propaganda defeat, overshadowing the military more significant Russian gains.

If anyone thinks ukrainians will manage to hold the line with terrible logistics when they cant hold anything anywhere else are just simply living in a different plane of reality. Those incursion forces will either retreat in a week or face total destruction. When artillery forces move closer, civilians are more or less evacuated and armored forces pull. Its going to be total demolition. Its just amazing that time and time again those incursion attacks fail and people still think it will do anything.Specially in Kursk direction a very symbolic area for Russians. If you think Russians will allow anyone live after invading kursk, you live in big delusion. Kursk has a very symbolic value for Russians.
@@cyacyi779let do it 😂😂😂
The image of the Russian army is suffering heavy loss these days... when will Putin take off the gloves and start to take things seriously ?
Ukraine is not worth all these Russian lives.
I agree, Putin is to soft.
Maybe the Russian army isn't as powerful and strong ad we once thought it is.
Donbass neigbours Russia, and they cant even capture that.
@@chodagreat7876 99% of Russia's military strength is in its nuclear arsenal. Now try rereading the comment you replied to.
@@trumpforever6706 Russia using nukes, would lose the few supports it has, beginning with China. Plus, exposing themselves to conventional reactions from NATO, still on Ukraine ground (strikes, air raids, still no boots on the ground).
So what, Einstein ?
@@chodagreat7876 You think Ukraine ever stood any chance against Russia ?!? Hahahahaha !
nice Russian tactics , first they let them come inside,then they will destroy them taking the double of the land, nothing has changed from Napoleon...
No way the Russians didn't see them coming. This is a mouse trap.
have you considered that Russia might be incompetatnt?
Invade territory is one thing, maintain position with logistic (vehicles) is another...wave after wave is useless without good logistic !!!
It’s wrong to compare Sudzha to Volchansk! Sudzha had a population of circa 8,000 and Volchansk 28,000 not to mention that this is smaller and has no large high rise apartments like Volchansk!
It's an insignificant weakly defended area presenting no tactical advantage to capturing it.
Really? Ukraine have soldiers lives to squander on adventures like this? It is a last gasp.
Majority are not ukrnian, 90% of them are westerners
Bring Surovikin back
Украине нужно перенести внимание мировых сми на себя и отчитаться перед западными спонсорами за вложения их миллиардов.
Именно для этого Украина и провела это необоснованное неспровоцированное вторжение в Российскую федерацию. Только она ещё и подставила своих американских хозяев, потому-что использование американских страйкеров в этом вторжении означает что ящик пандоры теперь открыт, если вы понимаете о чём я...😉
The Russians were busy drinking vodka when Ukraine amassed such a large force to invade and they were taken by surprise. Heavy bureaucracy in the Russian army.
Haaah,what about you, what do you drink???
@@ИванПоливода-у4о he is not a soldier on the frontline
Drinking vodka in 4 regions bigger than UK or Italy....✌🏻😁😁
All this did was give Russia an excuse to capture all of Ukraine
You seem to enjoy harder stuff than vodka...
Thank you
Thanks Dima.
Vielen Dank!
Ukraine is losing, and Ukraine does not have man power., but What is this then? They penetrated 25 kilometers deep into the Kursk region! 😲
Nothing more than the Battle of the Bulge.
Germans were also losing but they still managed some successful counter attacks
@@mrjerzheel You're trying to talk to people who don't actually know anything its part of the information war to hype the "ruzzin failure". Its bots
Remenber to the Ardennenoffensive... this wild end fast and meanwhile the ukrains really loosing more and more land in the east.
These are just a case of unprotected area that ukraine took advantage of... they are too deep and will find it difficult for logistic. Only terrorist act they can do from now on..
I will be back when you make your mind up about all this.
It's time to kick Gerasimov and hire somebody who want to win
someone who will distribute their troops everywhere evenly to placate people and avoid criticism, and just react to the enemy rather than having any plan?
@@ClubofInfo-Circulation It was seen the source of the attacks from Sumy city; Russia was not able to launch an offensive to tackle this Russian B.S; or at least to attacks Ukraine points with bombs; the groups who made the attack, I think somebody has some responsibility in the Russian top of brass.

Brilliant analysis 👍
Dima, Kupyansk or Kursk? You made a lot of mistakes, those areas are on totally different part of combat contact.
You confusing people. Be more precise.
he can't his making up all this no sense¡¡¡
he had ukraine collapse like 2 years ago in thumbnails, this guy is just spewing nonsense
@@Rastamanjungle Well to be fair, he couldn't know that Russian border is so poorly defended. Seems like apocalyptic corruption is consuming Russian army in same amount as Ukrainian. Instead of building proper defense lines (trenches, bunkers, dragon teeth, minefields, etc.), someone bought a big villa and a yacht in LA :-)
@@Peter22187Very difficult to believe that with all the monitoring assets Russia couldn't detect this incursion.
Seems like they intentionally let it happen to legally justify the buffer zone in Sumy. Standard US playbook.
After that, return of Sumy to the motherland!
@kapetannemo He has a Russian language channel where he posts updates a few hours before the English language one.
Excellent reporting
This is so embarrassing for Russia. Why are they holding back? 🤔
Keep quiet? Putin thinks before taking action that's why I love him
@@victusdotse7509 no I will not. And that’s great that you love him but why is he holding back? It’s costing him many troops in the meantime. If he can’t deal with this imagine a nato invasion? 🫢
Suja was not taken. There are too few forces to capture territories, this is a 1/3 adventure already with Ms. Farion
@@GHOST_1702it's because this isn't Nato that he holds back. He must keep an army ready in the event WW3 officially begins. As is, this little stunt just signed Chernihiv and Sumy on to becoming targets.
They are holding back because Putin wants to immediately have a great economy after smo so the economy is firsthand for him make no mistake this is not good for Ukraine if they force Putin to actually declare war then all will be lost for Ukraine there is no scenario in which Ukraine will claim victory at the end of this smo the question is how bad will Ukraine hard will Ukraine make it on themselves they have achieved another successful pr stunt but what will be the cost
Great stuff
But Gerasimov said that everything is stabilized
Everything is going to plan...
Of course he did, he always says things to placate Putin.
He also say fantasy numbers of killed Ukrainian soldiers and destroyed equipment that noone with exception of Putin believes anymore.
Yes and Putin is happily crying large provocation 😢
Russia lies all the time. How is this still not obvious for everyone?
I believe Ukraine wants to negotiate peace and they wanna use the Kursk regions as exchange token.
Exactly. But the problem is, can they sustain their limited soldiers in that region? If they cannot, then this gambit will fall on its face.
Agree
Good luck
@@alqaas1948 true,i don t thik Russia will negotiate untill they can push back UAF of the border,it will be seen as weakness by russian people and weaken Putin regime.
Ukraine is lashing out to spit the US and the West. They were pissed about not being informed of the prisoner exchange so they launched this attack without informing their handlers in response. There is no great plan for this, it's a stupid tempertanrum that will result in the losses that will be catastrophic and open up further fronts that Ukriane won't be able to hold.
War is always a critical situation.
Unbelievable! What a f-ing disgrace!
The people responsible for this debacle need to sacked and/or jailed.
Relax, dude, it s all planned, rus needs this incursion to justify further actions and also the west will say this is offensive action and not supply assistance to the ua
Thank you, Dima!!! I don't intend to criticize or point the finger at anyone, but it's time to understand that haste can distort everything you say in your own video. I think it's good advice when I tell you not to rush. Those conclusions about the attack with Iskander are wrong and that only for one reason: the rush to move on to the next idea. There are many situations when a single unanalyzed detail can tip the balance in the wrong direction. Why am I saying this? Because, if we watch that video complete, not fast forward, we will clearly see the result, which is different from the conclusions stated here. After the cluster munition explosions, some small details are clearly visible, which show a completely different conclusion. First of all, the red smoke , from a signal rocket fired by the Ukcros it appeared, which means signaling "help", "evacuation". Then, after some time, it is noticed that only one armored vehicle has left the area, two others are on fire and most importantly, no movement of Ukrainian soldiers can be seen. So, for an outsider, this clearly means that the Ukrainians are no longer in that area. And I don't think I'm wrong when I say that. There would be other small observations to make, but as we all know, no one is perfect .. I can also be wrong when I conclude something.
Any troops in between that treeline would end up Swiss cheese cadavers. Armor may survive but they would be on their own.

tactically speaking, Sudzha seemed like a good target for Ukraine to take an area of Russian territory. The best option for Ukraine there is to hold what they have, try to fortify behind a river line and halt Russian counterattacks. Even a few brigades of Ukrainians could stay there for months if they dig in, we can see that in other places. The position however doesn't do anything to reverse Russian momentum in the war, or give Ukraine any leverage to negotiate (in fact the Russians will be even more hostile due to this). It appears to be pointless.
How was Ukraine able to launch such a big attack inside Russia, taking so much territory in such short time, while its taking Russia a hole munth to capture one Block this doesent make any sence someone explain to me let me understand...
Big difference in taking territory than actually being able to hold it.
Its less captured and more like there are just soldiers in the area. No one expected them to be stupid enough to attack so it was poorly manned area. Ukraine simply stormed it and killed some unsuspecting conscripts. But they dont really hold the area in the sense that everything there is under their control.
Because there were barely any russian troops in the area to stop them, mostly border guards and conscripts. It's not hard to advance when there's no one to stop you. Russian forces in the east on the other hand have to overcome strong resistance from the ukrainians in order to move past trenches and fortified positions that's why their advance is slower.
@@SlayerBG93Concripts are not serving at 1 line of defence at border, only contracts and volontaires.
Couse that is modern mobile warfare. They simply went into firepocket, where they are being targeted by aviation, artillery and drones, couse there are no fortification lines. Ukraine is having big loses.
Also they cannot to do any significant development of situation, couse Russian war doctrine allows to use tactical nukes in case there would be brought too much enemy forces.
Its just the last "hurra" like the ardennes offensive from the germans in ww2.
Ukraine learned from its mistake , instead of posting about how they are going to attack Russia like they did in the summer counter offensive 2023 they quietly organized an offensive that no one suspected
The problem is kiev is using massive drone swarm to attack which substitutes for lack of soldiers.
Interesting
the REAL heat 🔥
Will interesting to see if Ukraine is able to dig in and fortify any positions they have managed to enter in Russia.
This would be a huge embarrassment for Putin and could lead to his fall from power 🤔
The Russians need to review their QRF Forces since we have this disaster
Have the Russians been sleeping?
мы ждем
Really, I gotta hand it to the Ukrainians. Let's be frank--the Russians got overconfident, concentrating on offense and left the border pretty lightly defended, Ukrainians made a gutsy move and caught them with their pants down. Unfortunately for Ukraine, the difference between Russia and Ukraine at this point of the war is, Russia has plenty of reserves it's never touched, whereas Ukraine had to strip forces from elsewhere on the front to pull this off. So now Russia brings in those reserves and contains the situation, probably pushes Ukraine back . . . but back where Ukraine made it easier for Russia to push, Russia's just going to keep on pushing.
When you're overmatched, pulling off a cool move just is not going to make much difference to the overall war.
8th of August: Another "Black Day?" Look up 1918.
USA dont know😂😂😂😂😂every toilet in Ukraine hide CIA agents,military officers and dont know😂😂😂😂they brake whole rules of this war like always in any wars
Major General Apty Alaudinov has repelled the attack with his troops.
How did the Russians allow Ukraine to amass so many soldiers on their border?
1000?
Dima,
I was watching some Russian channels, and it looks like your reporting is too dramatized. It looks like most of your videos are little behind. According to some of the Russian TV, such as RT, most of the places you highlighted are in Russian control because I saw RT correspondent reporting from that area.
Pro futuro mundo et humanitatem, washington quasi carthago delenda est.
Let's go
This is just a waste from Ukraine
It's the only way they have left.
The Arbat battalion arrived in the Kursk region.
The battalion is formed by many Wagner veterans.
One wonders if all those Fab's, flame throwers, Eskanders, hypersonic missiles, etc...do really have real effect on the real outcome of war on the ground. While Russia needs at least 6 months to occupy an area of 100 sq kms using all those various weapons, Ukraine, with its smaller army and using less military technique, occupies a territory twice as large within a span of less than six days. People are beginning to question the competence of Russian military leaders and the effectiveness of their much advertised military equipment systems.
They situated at empty villages.
Russia is not in a Rush, Ukraine is
🤡
Russians were always big on talking the talk, but less so on walking the walk. And yes, their equipment is always overestimated.
Ukrainians said themselves the FABS made Avdeevka intolerable. What do you think?
Ukrainians couldnt retake their territory nor cross the dnipro river and reach the south bank of Kherson so they had to attack a significantly less fortified civilian area within Russia lol
Russia needs a competent leadership!
Поверь,оно у нас получше вашего.
