    Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on modern warfare continues with another video on the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, as we discuss the battle of Chasiv Yar, that started in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. Slow Russian advance across the front continues, and that battle might be critical both for Ukraine and Russia.

    The biggest issue here is that the Ukrainian lines are rolling back and in some instances units are being routed. It's not the towns that are important. It's the integrity of the front. It works like skin. Cells connected together that form a contiguous layer that is fed by vessels that are in turn fed by bigger vessels. If a knife cuts in and slices these vessels then the cells die. Each battalion requires a near constant stream of food, clean water, ammo, replacements and regular rotations to recover. By breaking a line, the Russians can cut off these necessities, destroying the nearby units which then allows them to penetrate deeper, cutting off bigger supply hubs and cutting off a larger amount of units.

Since the fall of Avdiivka Russians moved the front 25 kilometers deep into central Donetsk and they will probably cut the main highway between Konstantinovka and Pokrovsk.

Ukriane clearly didnt have any good defensive lines after adviivka so now they are on the backfoot and its hard to build a formidable defensive line while parts of it are constantly moving back cutting off vital routes to recently built fortifications .... but hey , what do i know.

    What’s interesting to me is how much men and material are deployed, sent forward into combat and how much of that is lost, destroyed, captured and/or killed over such limited back and forth territorial gains. And we see this constantly up and down the lines of the Ukraine War. The lines shift over just mere kilometers, villages and towns. And all those lives. Ukrainians and Russians. Soldiers and civilians. This isn’t 1941 Blitzkrieg, this isn’t Desert Storm 1991 or even 2014 Crimea. Everyone thought this would be 1940 France all over again but both sides are absolutely locked in a vicious war of attack, defend and counterattack - rinse and repeat. I’m not really even sure how I feel about us sitting here online being as technical as we are when as I type this, somewhere people in eastern Ukraine are dying. I don’t like this feeling. It feels cold. And disconnected and dehumanizing.

      A number of sources can be found on places like twitter when you search for war correspondents and military bloggers.
      This biggest problem for a casual observer would be the number of trolls/and other people peddling fake information out there, it would take time and effort to work out which ones are legitimate.
      Also legit bloggers can easily disappear due to various pressures or threats, leaving behind only more fake accounts peddling lies.

      If you're really curious about finding almost-real time information, there are tons of channels that provide them. Mostly chatter or gossip on the ground. But if those chatter or gossip are echoed in many other places simultaneously you probably could pay more attention to it. Of course you need to cross check it with other data like satellite maps, or chatter/gossip from the other side as well. At some point the venn diagram will converge and that is most likely the truth.
      From what I see, most of this info came from various telegram channels that have eyes on the ground.

      VDV units had pretty much low experience fighting in a conventional modern war. Hostomel was a disaster - airport wasn`t secured in the first days of full-scaled invasion, and when russians did reach it with regular units - it was not operable and still within reach of Ukrainian artillery.
      Now, VDV (Marines as well) are used as shocktroops by russia, which isn`t really the role they exist for. Western estimates that current strength of elite russian troops is suboptimal, and it may require at least 10 years for them to properly recuperate.

    Unfortunately it seems that the old idea of “democracies have no willingness to fight” is becoming true. The west talked a big game at the start of the war, thinking it would be a fairly quick conflict. Unfortunately for them Russia is extremely resilient and isn’t slowing down. The west on the other hand is fractured. Conservative elements in Europe are gaining ground (see Hungary and Slovakia) and the leader of the west for the past 80 years (the USA) is hopelessly fractured and hasn’t had a coherent foreign policy since Clinton. Unless the west can get its act together and prove to Putin that they are in it for the long term, Ukraine will fall.
    Make no mistake, Putin won’t stop. He didn’t stop in 2014. He didn’t stop in Georgia. He didn’t stop in Chechnya.

      It's likely because this isn't as much an offensive as it is an opportunistic pushback of an enemy who broke itself against thick and layered defenses like a wave on concrete.

If they manage to keep going after that, we'll probably see panicked politicians calling for war openly.

    I personally think Russia will be able to capture chasiv yar by the end of the year. Currently it still looks like Russia is concentrating on avdiivka direction, in addition they also assault towards kupiansk/lyman with most likely the goal of enveloping sloviansk and kramatorsk, if the capture of chasiv yar is successful though

    I doubt they'll take it for many months of it all.

    I don't see how the US aid is going to reach this area before it falls.
