  1. 18:45 re, trying to win Ukrainian hearts and minds doesn't work when Russia says Ukrainian isn't an ethnicity or nationality... It's actually even worse than what this guy is saying. I have a friend, of Russian decent, who's Russian speaking (the exact person Russia claimed to be saving from the Ukrainian oppression and who Russia expected support from). She fled Donetsk during the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine to a more western city in Ukraine. As long as I've known her, she claimed she was Russian. After February 2022, she now says she's no longer Russian and is a proud Ukrainian. Essentially, she was Russian until Russia started shelling and shooting her friends and family in areas like Kharkiv and Mariupol. Russia definitely didn't even win hearts and minds of Russians in Ukraine by bombarding civilian areas,then raping and murdering civilians.

  2. I said it before, but Kherson wasn't a misinformation campaign or feint. The technical term for the Kherson operations is "dilemma". Basically, the Kherson operation would leave Russia with 2 bad choices. 1st, Russia could divert troops to Kherson region and leave the east and northeast weaker. Or, Russia could not divert troops to Kherson, continuing its eastern attacks and northeast probing attacks, but leaving Kherson weaker. Due to the lack of logistics due to the HIMARS removing Russian supply depots, Russia was no longer able to maintain its troops and hold on both south and east regions. If Russia hadn't reinforced Kherson area, Ukraine simply would have pushed the Russians back to the Dnipr River and re-taken Kherson. So, it wasn't a successful misinformation campaign, it was a successful dilemma that was going to result a huge map change either in the east, northeast, or south

  3. Regarding your intro about what day of the invasion we're on, I think it's time, instead, to start counting what day of the Russian withdrawal we're on.
