@@extremegrindingwithjesus7887 hahahah you are funny! russia FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE SECOND WORLD WAR announced mobilization, why do you think they did that? just for fun?
@Diego_TeixeiraI see what you mean, However Thats Completely Different. That was an unconventional war where The enemy used Guerilla warfare very successfully and in a Jungle Environment, which must made the effects of Guerilla warfare 10 times as effective. This can also be seen in Afghanistan, where Guerilla warfare combined with Geography delivers incredible resistance and success against a Regular Conventional armed forces. Russia would fight as they always have, they would lose the airwar in a matter of hours maybe days, and would be crushed at sea within weeks. It would be a slaughter they would have to surrender to avoid mass deaths.
@Diego_Teixeira the americans never suffered a defeat in battle. They "lost" and or just quit as there was no winning in the traditional sense. You can't destroy a guerrilla force outright especially if it's main force isn't in the same country of the fighting. In a standup traditional fight the US won each time, however the cost of playing world police is expensive so they chose to leave and force each country to handle it themselves.
I think the constant characterisation of Russian losses as 'Heavy' has skewed peoples perspective on what's possible. The Russian losses are sustainable for several years, and currently being traded for visible progress. That's concerning.
It's the consequences for Russia down the road. Their overall population is far and away not a healthy one, especially at the rate it is aging. Despite their noticeable adaptations, having to trade thousands of personnel and hundreds of pieces of equipment for each city with pre war populations of 70,000 or less and barely a few km of ground will have serious ramifications for their future warfighting capability.
@@johnrr8854 except Ukraine hasn't been the one marketing themselves as a preeminent superpower.

everything hinges on the 2024 presidential election. Ukraine really needs to hold out until then. If Biden wins - (and congress turns blue) - Ukraine will get what they need to go on the offensive again. If Trump wins, the Ukraine will probably need to sue for peace and hope that American Democracy somehow survives. If it doesn't . . . the world has a much bigger problem.

So no ukraine doesn't have nowhere near how much deaths that russia has now I do agree its nowhere near 30k probaly higher but let's uses the syria civil war for a example, over 100k goverment forces have died over a 6+ year progress you would think that after everything it would be more but it's not because only russia sends large groups of people across a mine battlefield.

But a later poll showed that many young french men are willing to fight in Ukraine for the interests of France. More than half of French youth ready to enlist and fight in Ukraine. A new survey published by Le Parisien finds that over half of French young people would be ready to enlist and fight against Russia in Ukraine if it were needed to defend France's interests Not to mention this isnt about just the person of Macron - but general french interests, regardless of who is the president.

@@TrojaFojaRugsNah. Russia’s struggle in Ukraine has proved to them that Russia cannot conventionally threaten them if they go on the offense. If NATO giving weapons to a third world country with a large mass can hold them still. Russia pushing to even the Vistula in Poland is impossible
@@TrojaFojaRugs No they won't, because any move on any NATO member would mean direct US involvement and considering the US has produced more F-35s than the russian air force had aircraft in total pre-war I think they understand why that would be a horrendous blunder. Also note that russian production numbers are heavily padded as they are counting refurbished old equipment as "newly produced" to make it sound like they aren't so desperate for kit even their "elite" tank brigades are being handed tanks that have been out of production for more than 50 years.
But you been telling for 2 years that ukraine were winning and Russia was on it's knees? Our leaders claim 50% of Russias fighting force has been destroyed, it's all BS!
Both things can be true simultaneously. Did you even watch the video? Where they spent literally half the episode talking about Russias manufacturing capability? Its true that Russia likely lost over half of its originally military capacity that it had prior to the invasion. But its also been three years since then, and in three years they managed to build a shit ton more equipment and conscript a shit ton more people. So its possible for both them to have lost half of their prewar stock and ALSO for them to have replaced all of it in three years....
things change over 2 years bonehead. at the time, russia was embarrassing itself. now its evolved past that in a lot of critical ways, others not so much. it's also benefiting from Ukraine's lack of aid now moreso than before. if u dont like the channels info, why are u here? the channels been very fair and balanced regarding facts despite its evident support for ukraine, as all sane people right now. u sound like a russian bot or something.
Perun breaks it down better than i could ever explain. Their arms industry hasn't declined but it is on a very very very sloooow upturn. The sanctions are in some way working but we are looking at some marginal differences as they work around those sanctions. If for example Russian industry was at like 7.0 out of 10 before in 2020. Right now it is 6.8 out of 10.
Of course there's going to be propaganda in the western media, there's propaganda everywhere... But it's been a long 2 week special military operation.
You forget that the washing machines became a meme because the Russian soldiers were looting them. They think like their oligarchic masters at home - they steal stuff and invade countries that belong to other people, then they put the label 'Russian' on it.
Limited Foreign Intervention such as the defense of Western Ukraine and the manning of Air Defense Systems should be enough of a pressure to actually force the Russians to talk about a proper peace deal - not this total Ukrainian capitulation disguised in "conditionals"
Exactly. You don't do military exercises and wargames with countries who are not your allies. Russia-China-Iran are the new axis. There should be no doubt at this point.
@@georgekim933 there appears to be a division between the Western and Eastern hemispheres of the globe. The East self-proclaimed as the 'Global South' under the oppressive nature of the West. That being said, media has been depicting the divisiveness fairly often and this military cooperation helps to further that narrative between the two sides. With Russia-Ukraine, China-Taiwan, and Iran-Israel; I'd prefer to see each of these pairings reach resolutions instead of further isolation and eventual desolation.

A classic war of attrition, though it doesn’t sound as if Ukraine has the full commitment of its citizens since they have been unable to mobilize the needed troops.
@@JahNgomba-ir2zi 500k is possible but Ukraine will be going straight into a demographic collapse in the oncoming decades because of how much young, healthy, able-bodied men are disabled or killed in combat. It would be a disaster for Ukraine's economy. What's left are women and old people to take up the slack...
Too bad ukraine will need at least 100 billion more than its getting from US/Europe combined to even match half of the 400 billion ish russia is pumping into their war effort in military spending for 2024. And russia seems dug in to keep this up for many many more years. Meanwhile each passing year the US and Europe has more and more political resistance to funding the war effort. Putin is very secure politically in russia.
What sums up the Russian advances is that they lose many troops when they attack.. I think they lose about 1000 soldiers per day in this war. Would not be surprised if they did.
As much as, for the time being, a French direct intervention sounds implausible, that actually gives some food for thought, academically speaking. There are foreign military forces around the world with an international mandate to inforce peace in conflict or former conflict areas, such as in Kosovo or in the African Central Republic - where my country's Army (Portugal) have been present for years. First Gulf War Allied forces were put in motion under such mandate. I'm aware we are speaking of an ongoing conflict, with one of the beligerants being a permanent Security Council member. But diplomacy has allways been a key factor in wars throughout the ages, so the presence of foreign armies in Ukraine, outside the theater of operations, doesn't seem something that unthinkable... Once again, food for thought.
In your last video, You covered the war till 9 January and Since 10 January the Israel-Hamas war continues. so what happened to your series? Have you stoped it?
First according to who it is (fact) and second i am here in Ukraine and i am telling NO WAY that was going to pass! Ukrainians were never ever going to surrender to putler!
I appreciate your focus on facts and information. Too many social media outlets and news sources are biased and focused on propaganda. I am tired of people mixing facts with opinions and emotions. Thank you for being informative.
I wouldn’t trust either sources from Ukraine or Russia. Ukraine wants more money so they’ll say “look what we did America!” My Ukrainian friend said Americans are the only ones who will gain from this war and Ukraine is a pawn. They have resources American companies like Blackrock want first dibs on IF they win.
This is a great video and is one of the best sources of active information with nice and detailed maps as well as detailed events that have happened in the recent times. However, I have no proof of where all this information is coming from is ligit, it is a problem with many youtube videos and channels that do comentary style videos, but don't cite their sources. Additionally i kinda wanna read up on this stuff and kinda wanna read for myself some things which you may not have mentioned. So uh pls cite ur sources in the future (even editing this description would be apreciated) because its not that hard, but displays your legitimacy and is simply a convenience for the reader. P.S. If I remember correctly you mentioned how certain defence departments gave information about such and such, but I wouldn't know where to find these anouncements, so pls cite that too (just a link is fine) P.P.S I actually cannot say how happy I am to see such a well made video with maps and all, so dont take me wrong, I aint trying to shit on u
What is the source of the claim that America asked Ukraine to curtail attacks on Russian oil infrastructure? I do not recall those comments from March.
@@KingsandGenerals Thankyou for the quick reply, sadly their source is a paywalled Financial Times article so I can't get the name of the official who said this. :)
A fair fight is where everyone loses. Ukraine must do whatever it needs to survive. As an American, who are we to tell them what they can and cannot do? Fear of escalation my ***
@@activatekruger446 I personally disagree with the average American on a lot of things, but not on this. I think it was an American to say "If you find youself in a fair fight, your tactics suck", and considering the near perfect combat record of the United States fighting wars as dirty as possible there's clear evidence it works.
@@lordMartiya the US fights wars dirty? your clearly insane lmao you must have gotten Japan and North Korea/ Vietcong mixed up with the yanks.

As an Argentinian, I appreciate that my country is giving help to Ukraine, but I know that we can only do so in painfully small ways, as our military capacity is small and very outdated, and our economic crisis prevents us from helping in other ways. Still, something is done.
@@azman73681 Uh, who started the attack? Russia. Who's a dictator in all but name? Putin. Whatever issues Ukraine had before, that Russia is invading to conquer and annex another country is wrong.
@@Quicks1lvr A few, yes. Enough of the politicians back then were closer to fascism, something I criticize these days. They also brought enough scientists so we could build a nuclear power plant. Dunno how to feel about that.
The US Government has *NOT* asked Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil infrastructure. "We do not encourage" is diplo-speak for "leave us out of it." Or to put it another way, they've said that they don't care.
@@oleksii000 ye , i call us bs on that one if they the increasingly blatantly corp dynasties and fundamentalist kingdom style us wants to pretend it not tryess to bully smaller nations it cant double speak like that after all it could fork out resources in advance along with some hardware to render the tsars armour and airforce advantage null , since considering the last decades it looks like the only way to use the bloated us army long term is by arming locals already fighting , aka small nations like ukrane get hardware and monetary support without debts , or one just ends up with afghanistan or iraq situations agen
The US and other countries refused to provide certain long range weapons for the sole reason of not wanting Ukraine to attack Russian infrastructure. You don't know what you're talking about
American citizens do care. Unless Ukraine wants less support: we arent interested in paying more at the pump. Furthermore, Ukraine has on multiple occasions violated US terms of using our weapons inside of Russian territory.
About the Czech initiative, Czech PM recently talked about 500k (not sure when), before that there were talks about 160 or 180k in June. Not nearly enough, Russia allegedly spends 40k a day...
I find it very unlikely this would happen, and even if it did, it would definitely not be front line troops, more like a logistical support type role. I do wonder, if at some point, they would consider massing a bunch of troops in say Finland, the Baltic States, and Poland to make Russia sweat and try to pull troops away from Ukraine.
See, this is the thing about Russia, in a normal war, it will lose simply by technological shortcomings, however in a war of attrition it has been tried and proven that they will most likely win against an enemy especially like Ukraine.
@@KingsandGenerals In 1941 Finland did not need to join the Axis Pact so that the Wehrmacht troops could attack Russia from Finnish territory. It's the same with NATO. 2 "new" members have always been with NATO and NATO troops calmly conducted exercises together with Finnish and Swedish troops.
And finally, Mike Johnson let it be put for vot and has passed the house. Now, it has to pass the Senate. Let's see if all that talk from the Senate Republicans is true.
I suppose Zaluzhny did not invest large resources into the counteroffensive - he did just enough to prove that Ukraine is undertaking serious attempt of regaining control of it's territory, which allowed him to conserve substantial forces for current defence by Syrskiy.
Objectively, it's really interesting to see a presently occuring war through the analytical lens and stellar animations of @KingsandGenerals!!! Love your stuff!
Why is it that US and UK fighter jets were deployed to shoot down drones and missiles fired at Israel but Ukraine is left to fight by themselves? I've only heard one US politician answer this with "different conflict, different situation" but no clear answer.
Israel has massive influence in the US to the point it can direct its foreign policy, Ukraine does not and it is simply an expendable pawn that the US threw at Russia
Ukraine's resistance is truly a historical feat. Nb : by the way, the USA could stop funding and arming a certain country, that I shall not name, which does not really need our help destroying people who cannot really defend themselves. All that useless funding should go to Ukraine instead.
Israel is a stronghold and a foothold for American power projecting in the Middle East. Ukraine serves no purpose for anyone but themselves and the grain market. No one should be helping Ukraine any more than getting rid of their own outdated equipment. The axis would have won if anyone used your naive mentality to think about real world problems.
It's not Russia against Ukraine (NATO) but it is us the people against those who are pulling the strings and send humans in killing each other for their benefit. So it is not Russia and the Ukraine who have heavy losses but it is us the people.
@@jorgeluis2247 What's the address of Russia? I would like to ask him/her some questions. There is no Russia, Ukraine, USA etc. These are imaginations invented for people to be bamboozled so they don't see the manipulations of this internationally active force that does not know any borders.

Also note that russian production numbers are heavily padded as they are counting refurbished old equipment as "newly produced" to make it sound like they aren't so desperate for kit even their "elite" tank brigades are being handed tanks that have been out of production for more than 50 years.
@@kyleb7974if they conquer Ukraine they will completely destabilize all Europe and will conquer it without a gunfight.
Yup. Without foreign aid the war will finally end
I think its fair to assume or certainly say that both has s suffered heavy losses with a little more from the Russians being the attacking side.
It is not fair to say. We have hardware numbers and they are extremely lopsided. There is no reason to think personnel numbers are different.

i was waiting for the update video from a long time , thank you K&G team.
Never change your narrative voice.
Thanks!
But you been telling for 2 years that ukraine were winning and Russia was on it's knees? Our leaders claim 50% of Russias fighting force has been destroyed, it's all BS!
Sure, that's why they mobilised almost a million aince the beginning of the war, and their army only increased by 15% in size.
Both things can be true simultaneously. Did you even watch the video? Where they spent literally half the episode talking about Russias manufacturing capability? Its true that Russia likely lost over half of its originally military capacity that it had prior to the invasion. But its also been three years since then, and in three years they managed to build a shit ton more equipment and conscript a shit ton more people.
So its possible for both them to have lost half of their prewar stock and ALSO for them to have replaced all of it in three years....
things change over 2 years bonehead. at the time, russia was embarrassing itself. now its evolved past that in a lot of critical ways, others not so much. it's also benefiting from Ukraine's lack of aid now moreso than before. if u dont like the channels info, why are u here? the channels been very fair and balanced regarding facts despite its evident support for ukraine, as all sane people right now. u sound like a russian bot or something.
Perun breaks it down better than i could ever explain. Their arms industry hasn't declined but it is on a very very very sloooow upturn. The sanctions are in some way working but we are looking at some marginal differences as they work around those sanctions.
If for example Russian industry was at like 7.0 out of 10 before in 2020. Right now it is 6.8 out of 10.
Of course there's going to be propaganda in the western media, there's propaganda everywhere... But it's been a long 2 week special military operation.
Don't forget the washing machine
You forget that the washing machines became a meme because the Russian soldiers were looting them.
They think like their oligarchic masters at home - they steal stuff and invade countries that belong to other people, then they put the label 'Russian' on it.

Very detailed as always guys, thx for the video 👌🤘🇨🇦
Limited Foreign Intervention such as the defense of Western Ukraine and the manning of Air Defense Systems should be enough of a pressure to actually force the Russians to talk about a proper peace deal - not this total Ukrainian capitulation disguised in "conditionals"
The joint naval military operations by Russia, China, and Iran are a very telling story.
Exactly. You don't do military exercises and wargames with countries who are not your allies. Russia-China-Iran are the new axis. There should be no doubt at this point.
Also that Iran simultaneously launched a half-hearted drone attack on Israel that did little damage but made a lot of noise

@@georgekim933 there appears to be a division between the Western and Eastern hemispheres of the globe. The East self-proclaimed as the 'Global South' under the oppressive nature of the West.
That being said, media has been depicting the divisiveness fairly often and this military cooperation helps to further that narrative between the two sides.

Breaking news: The billl has been passed boys.
Too bad ukraine will need at least 100 billion more than its getting from US/Europe combined to even match half of the 400 billion ish russia is pumping into their war effort in military spending for 2024. And russia seems dug in to keep this up for many many more years. Meanwhile each passing year the US and Europe has more and more political resistance to funding the war effort. Putin is very secure politically in russia.
Thank you for this update. This series is my favourite news source of the events in the war.
Thanks for updating
What a great video
Norway added factory workshifts.. im sorry? They didn't have them already? In 2024 no less how ahead of schedule!
What sums up the Russian advances is that they lose many troops when they attack.. I think they lose about 1000 soldiers per day in this war. Would not be surprised if they did.

You must be really stupid if you think major countries lose 1000 men per day in a war.
please consider making a video series about Tippu Sultan
As much as, for the time being, a French direct intervention sounds implausible, that actually gives some food for thought, academically speaking.
There are foreign military forces around the world with an international mandate to inforce peace in conflict or former conflict areas, such as in Kosovo or in the African Central Republic - where my country's Army (Portugal) have been present for years. First Gulf War Allied forces were put in motion under such mandate.
I'm aware we are speaking of an ongoing conflict, with one of the beligerants being a permanent Security Council member. But diplomacy has allways been a key factor in wars throughout the ages, so the presence of foreign armies in Ukraine, outside the theater of operations, doesn't seem something that unthinkable...
Once again, food for thought.
So frustrating knowing I can't do anything about the West dithering.

The US Government has *NOT* asked Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil infrastructure. "We do not encourage" is diplo-speak for "leave us out of it." Or to put it another way, they've said that they don't care.
And at the same time they’re saying that it possesses risk to the international oil trade and calling oil infrastructure a “civil” one.
Seriously? So why did they say anything? Does the Russian ambassador have the means to pressure Kirby to say something he does not want to?
@@oleksii000 ye , i call us bs on that one if they the increasingly blatantly corp dynasties and fundamentalist kingdom style us wants to pretend it not tryess to bully smaller nations it cant double speak like that
after all it could fork out resources in advance along with some hardware to render the tsars armour and airforce advantage null , since considering the last decades it looks like the only way to use the bloated us army long term is by arming locals already fighting , aka small nations like ukrane get hardware and monetary support without debts , or one just ends up with afghanistan or iraq situations agen
The US and other countries refused to provide certain long range weapons for the sole reason of not wanting Ukraine to attack Russian infrastructure. You don't know what you're talking about
American citizens do care. Unless Ukraine wants less support: we arent interested in paying more at the pump.
Furthermore, Ukraine has on multiple occasions violated US terms of using our weapons inside of Russian territory.
About the Czech initiative, Czech PM recently talked about 500k (not sure when), before that there were talks about 160 or 180k in June. Not nearly enough, Russia allegedly spends 40k a day...

On the other hand, Vladimir Putin laughed when asked to make peace
France sending troops in Ukraine is bad move
They are not sending troops
is that what's happening in the book you're writing?
I find it very unlikely this would happen, and even if it did, it would definitely not be front line troops, more like a logistical support type role. I do wonder, if at some point, they would consider massing a bunch of troops in say Finland, the Baltic States, and Poland to make Russia sweat and try to pull troops away from Ukraine.
Very informative. To the point.
See, this is the thing about Russia, in a normal war, it will lose simply by technological shortcomings, however in a war of attrition it has been tried and proven that they will most likely win against an enemy especially like Ukraine.

And finally, Mike Johnson let it be put for vot and has passed the house. Now, it has to pass the Senate. Let's see if all that talk from the Senate Republicans is true.
Perun is mentioned? 22:13
I suppose Zaluzhny did not invest large resources into the counteroffensive - he did just enough to prove that Ukraine is undertaking serious attempt of regaining control of it's territory, which allowed him to conserve substantial forces for current defence by Syrskiy.
the fact that Argentina is sending anything when their economy is in free fall is crazy.

Why is it that US and UK fighter jets were deployed to shoot down drones and missiles fired at Israel but Ukraine is left to fight by themselves? I've only heard one US politician answer this with "different conflict, different situation" but no clear answer.

Maybe Ukraine should have made the ammo them self, a d supplies their own fucking troops
Israel is a stronghold and a foothold for American power projecting in the Middle East. Ukraine serves no purpose for anyone but themselves and the grain market.
