Comments by "Alexey 9" (@Fillipok) on "Fall of Soledar. Siege of Bachmut [War Mapped]" video.

@PavltheRobot Thank you for clarifying the Polish origin of the authors of the channel. Now this explains why the author wants the destruction of Russia to pieces under the guise of "democracy" and "decolonization".

It's convenient for you to redraw history. Rus is a common part of the history of Russia and Ukraine. You can even look at its historical territories and notice that one half of it is part of Russia, and the other part of Ukraine. Exactly the same can be said about the genetic component of Ukrainians and Russians. We have many common relatives, common genes. Russians from Moscow and Ukrainians are no more genetically different than Russians from the Urals and Moscow. Today's self-determination of Ukrainians is more political than national. If they want to secede, let them secede, but why invent a story that did not exist is a big question. The historical connection between Russians and Ukrainians is undeniable.

@Alex-ck5pz Ukraine also lost hundreds of soldiers in the same way, but in addition, it also lost Soledar. Such assaults bring heavy losses to both sides. The Wagners used a clever strategy: they sent one detachment to attack from one side of Soledar to create the illusion of a full-scale offensive in that direction with a surprise offensive from the other side. After that, they went around Soledar from the weakened flanks, where the Ukrainians did not expect a blow. This allowed them to surround Soledar and the Ukrainians were forced to surrender. Why is this not a smart strategy?
