When Prokrovsk falls they'll bring in an analyst that says Pokrovsk has little strategic importance.
this channel is pro ruzzian
@@HazeKasaki Why not all ukraine land not strategic 😂
Facts😂😂😂
If you raise it ot the ground wtf of strategic value does it keep? Gesus christ the ability to understand reality is really gone on you isnt'it?
@@HazeKasaki Was Syria not strategic? 😂😂
if pokrovsk falls then it has no strategic value. if it holds still then it's a key strategic town
Hold the phone the town no longer is important according to Ukraine because Russia is about to take it
how much do they pay you per post Anton?
@klaus6091 aww how cute nobody like the truth , so they assume
Like with Bakhmut it’s no longer important as these city quite literally no longer exist. Every piece of infrastructure that could have been used by Russians has been devastated.
@LilP6588 Russia will just rebuild the city
Authorities in Ukraine confirms Zelensky forgot to add a Zero to the casualty figure he published.
Zelensky isn't even legitimate, his time expired long ago
@@sareeyemanusqaame8723Same with putin. Current comforting his boyfriend Assad
@@sareeyemanusqaame8723 He's legally legitimate and his people follow him willingly. Unlike the imperial wannabe hiding in his bunker in the kremlin
@@user-lv5bt3nt3ryet who is currently advancing daily and Ukraine military can't stop
@@user-lv5bt3nt3r zelensky isn't legal he's a puppet dictator who destroyed Ukraine and it's people for the interests and directions of zionist Jewish led west. Zelensky is actually an enemy of Ukraine.
Ukraine is winning, they are advancing to Kiev while Russia is retreating towards pokrovsk
Best comment
😂😂😂😂😂you have my day
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
you dont say😂😂
Western drama
I can confirm that the 34th Ukrainian Keyboard Intelligence Battalion announced that once Povkrosk is captured by Russia, it will have little strategical value.
I need a source on the 34th? usually signals and intel battalions are under a brigade such as the 148th. your comment doesn't make sense.
Being a soldier must be a mental process!!
They are sending more to keep the city which they know they can't keep. Basically sent to die a pointless death....and apparently, you can't say NO?
Unfortunately that's what Ukraine has to do, because it believes its metric of victory is not conceding ground... so every city town and village becomes a battleground.
@sammearns428 and yet...they lose ground every day, then repeat the process all over again
Only Donald Trump can save Ukraine from Russia.
@@theChiral while inflicting massive casualties on the enemy...
So Pokrovsk still "strategic town"? Well not so long...
Crazy that these warriors are dying in ditches, but zelensky drinking chanpagne to open notre dame
your comment is inappropriate, soldiers are defending their land and families. you have different mentality, run...run...run...❤🇺🇦❤🙏🙏🙏
They defend their land in their thoughts, but on the world theatre they are just another american marionettes
@@RedzicMuharem and Putin drinking champagne with his boy Assad
That's what they believe and what you believed brainwashed m9nk
That's politics and developing relationships, one Ukraine needs. Don't be ignorant.
This town will fall and theres nothing you can do
Those who decided to stay are actually waiting for Russians.
But they won't say that.
@@Jorcelio you’re correct ✅
It fell today.....
No it didn't
But I thought Ukraine was winning?
Latest line is Ukraine is being prepared to have a strong hand in negotiations.
@@johnadam2885😂
In the words of Napoleon in a terrible movie about him.
" We are winning"
Yes, Ukraine are winning on paper
@alexjulio-rl7zo like Anthony Smith
ISW stated quite authoritatively that Pokrovsk lost its strategic significance tonight and the same fate awaits Dnipro, Odessa, Kiev and Lviv.
ISW was created by democrats family close to obamas'.

Slava Rusiji i ruskoj armiji🇷🇺✅

War machines learn more from actual conflict than peace time. This conflict has been unique and Russia will have learned massive lessons from it. They will also have the most experienced and battle hardened troops in the world right now, which makes them the most dangerous foes should anyone think stupid thoughts on taking them on right now.
But this town is not even in Ukraine anymore.
People voted and choose to be an independent Republic within Russian Federation and not western neo Natzi Ukraine
Remember now that its about to fall it was never strategically important
And another one bites the dust ... So much destruction, loss of lives and human tragedy, for exactly what? Is this making Ukraine strong and Russia weak as they tell us?
Цель - разрушить связи между украинским и российским народом.Это делается и уже давно,языковые законы,патрули и т.д.Пытаются через новые поколения пропагандировать гражданам простую мысль - Россия плохо,США и ЕС хорошо.Они заявляют что пытаются якобы украинский язык продвинуть,но запрещая русский язык,активно лоббируют английский.А что может быть еще большим катализатором ненависти?Война.Вот ради чего всё это делается.
@@КапитанКапланский Thanks. Insightful comment.
Please stop the war
🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺
I thought Ukraine was winning according to aljazeera since day one always say that Russia s losses are 5*more yet contradict themselves saying Ukrainian are outgunned and outmanned
You are right bro. Alfakeera are really unpredictable
we must learn how russia keep advancing and they are using shovel and washing machine parts 😂😂😂
I thought this war was Over. Is mr clownsky still alive?
Thank you for the "inside" report.
Strategic town #37.
SLAVA RUSSIA URRAAA ❤❤❤❤
⭐⭐💪💪
This aren't "pets", they are stray dogs.😂 This goes to show how much western media knows about Ukraine and the east in general.
Pokrovsk’s defenses are running on fumes, and the breach shows that the Ukrainian lines are crumbling under pressure. If the fort’s already cracked, Russian forces have a prime opportunity to press the advantage and turn this into a decisive victory. Kyiv’s response so far-digging shallow trenches and relying on improvised tactics-won’t hold up against superior firepower and relentless advances. This is the time for Russian troops to double down, capitalize on their momentum, and exploit gaps in the Ukrainian defenses before they can regroup. A strong push now could secure the sector entirely, leaving Kyiv scrambling and unable to mount any effective counter-punch.
Zelensky really think he could win a war against the mighty powerful Russian army
but Russia is to weak to fight collective west. In bigger picture Russia is losing geopolitical power. They lost Syria few days ago, soon they will lose Africa and they will lose extremely amount of resources to take Donbass. Ukraine is not strong enough to fight Russia, but it is not weak as Cechenia so Russia will break their teeth while being on offensive and war economy for so long. Such a long war is not good for neither Ukraine, neither Russia
Why are men of fighting age acting like they are not fighting in these areas?
The last battle of Ukraine war
не факт)
@@КапитанКапланский🤏🧠 🫵
Can Asad Beg the aljazeera reporter now go and accompany the Russian forces and tell us about the Russian operations and whats happening on the Russian side?
The russians wouldnt let him, because its an absolute s...tshow on that side.
Yes he can. First he will need a Russian press accreditation, which can take more than a month to obtain. Assuming he has that he will now need to leave eastern Ukraine and travel to Kyiv then most likely to Warsaw to catch a flight to Moscow, this journey can take 3 days. Then he will need to apply for Russian military accreditation and get permission to be embedded with Russian troops to enter Russain occupied Ukraine. From there he will be able to carry out his reports but after this he wont be allowed to report from Ukraine again as Ukraine will ban any reporter who has entered Occupied Ukraine via Russia. So the short answer to your question is yes he could but its extremely unlikely as its a huge waste of time and resources. Better for Al Jazeera to send a different reporter.
@@lordcabbage-c2tYou think there is a flight from Warsaw to Moscow? I thought such fights have been cancelled.
@@ehismichael6917 Most of Europe -Russia flights go through Istanbul, I've heard.
Did you think people stopped flying in and out of Russia?
@@shonemumy Yes, because of sanctions
God bless these people with his mercy
Jel to Ukrajina pobjeđuje???😂😂😂😂.Šta im Rusi mogu sa lopatama???Stigli do Moskve???😂😂😂
The war must be stopped, innocent people dying please 😢
I feel so sorry for the citizens whos living there especially the old people. I can't understand why Zelenskyy keeps pushing his people to fight, loses and retreats. He knows his force cannot hold the Russians but he keeps feeding them to the meat grinder, to me that's an irresponsible leader who doesn't care for the lives of his people. Negotiate and save lives.
Of course russia is advancing but we have been told by a year now that pokrovsk is falling within a week
Amen ❤❤❤
Poor 🐕🐶😢
Russia will capture this important strategic town.
We are tired of one side to Russian side also
Since four months now
I have a feeling Ukraine will pay for Russia's loss in Syria.
''Specialists''- Pokrovsk been one of the strongholds of Ukraine's eastern front
''Specialists' soon '- Pokrovsk not strategically important , Russia just waisted thousands of life's :D
😂😂😂😂
I thought Ukraine was winning???
Get it guys we are at work 😂😂😂😂😂
Eh?
Isnt that a Russian tank that’s shown driving thru town? So they’re already inside or what
No, i guess it looks more like a Bradley IFV.
Fix subtitles please.
Stop this lunacy NOW
Wow scared they are i am sure they have already stopped
The cause and foundation of the problem is italy and France Paris,Rome,Napolitano,Napoli,America, Rome,Taranto,Torino,Sardegna::
Russian advance...41 km from Ukraine boarder over 3 years...hmm🤣🤣🤣
do they bring Russians from Syria?
Funny how people don’t keep the same energy for Russians war in Ukraine.
I think people need to ask themselves why and if they actually care about people’s right to sovereignty and civilian life.
Maybe because Israeli or USA aren’t the invaders?
Maybe because USA are as much involved in this as in any other recent conflict?
Russia has lost many tanks, only about 3000 left. And those are in bad condition, Russia has also lost a lot of it's navy and over 750,000 soldiers. If Russia does not stop the war by January 2025 it could face economic collapse and even the break up of the state. Get out of Russia Russia before it is too later. Use common sense, you will not be allowed to win

Russia needs to win the special military operation and win big that they lost Syria now.
Did they lose Syria. Assad refused a Russia deal with Turkey a few months ago. HTS gaurantees the Titus Base security etc etc etc.
i heard they made a deal with Syrian rebels already, so they can continue maintaining their personals in western syria
@Donqixote11 the world needs to work with Russia to defeat the western imperialism aggressions and colonization in Ukraine. The defeat of the west in Ukraine serves the entire world even the Ukrainians. Everyone needs to help Russia even if one would otherwise have been against Russia. Wether one likes Russia or not the west is a threat and dangerous to EVERYONE regardless of one's culture, religion, color or geography.
la Russie prend son temps parceque c'est sa strategie et celle des americains
croire que les deux pays ne se concertent pas est absurde
ce sont les deux grands gagnants de cette guerre
les russes ne se sont pas defonces pour detruire les rebelles alors qu'ils en avaient largement les moyens
