  1.  @fosphor8920  Or you could ask your overlord in the bunker beneath the Kremlin to pay.

  2.  @hardtackbeans9790  Yes indeed. The ruSSian army has captured almost zero Ukrainian land in the last twelve months. The only ruSSian force that has captured land due those 12 months is the now defunct Wagner PMC.

  3. Good points, but will you please stop the cutting and pasting - it gets boring on the third read.

  4.  @mattcritchley5670  "It's been a matter of training both the pilots and also the engineering and support crews" The crazy thing is, the US announced money for training Ukrainian pilots on F-16s over 12 months ago. We could have had really well trained Ukrainians waiting, instead of this last minute rushed training.

  5.  @dreuxbolton5725  Yes I think "that Ukraine didn't lose thousands of men and hundreds of vehicles during their offensive". Just because Pootin says it and you believe his BS, doesn't mean it's true. Ukraine probably lost hundreds of men and tens of vehicles at the beginning of their offensive, but they learned to use different tactics and are now losing half as many men as the ruSSians are losing.

  6.  @dreuxbolton5725  Don't change the subject. Defend your statement - or shut up.

  7. "According to the Russian Defence Ministry," Aha, there's the problem with your information. Try reliable sources.

  8. Who's lies are you buying? russian MoD?

  9. Those tiny pieces of land that you describe are almost insignificant. If you want to see real liberation of Ukrainian territory, look to the gains made in Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts where tens of thousands of square kilometres were regained. If you want to see real losses, look at the losses of ruSSian mem and ruSSian equipment that occur on a daily basis. When you lose 1000 men to take a field, you are not winning. Think of the wives, the mothers, the children, the brothers and sisters of those men who have been sent to slaughter by Putin and his cronies - for what? For the betterment of Putin and his buddies who have already stolen billions of roubles from the ruSSian people. Now they are steal the lives of ruSsian men - solely in order to get richer.

  10.  @KTO_HUBLOT  Only 3? russia lost 82 towns in a week in Kursk.

  11.  @111076tom  Why are you speculating? Why not just find the facts? The rail bridge is NOT below the road, it is mostly at the same elevation as the road, but it begins to climb earlier than the road when approaching high portions, so in many places is higher than the road. You are wrong ("why not just find the facts") about it's military value. It is the MAIN supply route for military equipment into Crimea and Kherson oblasts. There is no rail route along the shore of the Azov Sea ("why not just find the facts"). The rail line goes inland to Melotopol, then heads north towards Tokmak before heading north east into Luhansk oblast. Crimea does need huge volumes of supplies ("why not just find the facts") as that is where the Russia Black Sea fleet resupplies, and it is also the primary route for supplies into Kherson and parts of Zaporizhzhia as the only other supply route is via Tokmak which is within Ukrainian artillery range (why do I have to point this out again - because you have a closed mind due to Russian BS). & weeks into the offensive and you would like to see Ukrainian troops destroy themselves on Russian defenses. Unfortunately for Russia, Ukrainians are not that stupid. Speaking of offensives, we're now 26 weeks into the Russian winter offensive - when is it going to even start? 30,000 soldiers KIA. They must be mostly Russian soldiers because Ukraine has lost only a fraction of that number ("why not just find the facts") - expect in Pootin's mind. "Houndreds" of armoured vehicles destroyed, over one "houndred" tanks destroyed - again your are quoting Russian propaganda instead of "finding the facts". "Why did they end negotiations in Turkey last April?" because there weren't negotiations in Turkey "last April", it was April the year before ("why not just find the facts"). And the reason they ended negotiations was because in April 2022 Ukraine was still loosing to Russian forces and they wanted to cut their losses. But Boris and others pledged their support and convinced Zelenskyy that he could do better than to cede so much territory to the aggressor. And they were right. In August 2022 the Ukrainian army brought Russian army advances to a halt. Since that time the Russian army has been unable to make any significant gains in Ukraine. The Russian army has been unable to capture so much as a single Ukrainian city in those 11 months. Over the same period the Ukrainian army has liberated over 13,000sq km of Ukrainian land, including six cities. That's why. It sucks to be a Russian troll.

  12. This video has nothing to do with Avdiivka. It is about the south bank of the Denipro in Kherson oblast. You are "too silly" if you don't know that Avdiivka is not in Kherson.

  13.  @АндрейАвто-г2у  "but 70% of russians are now in the rear," I'd have thought 70% of russian troops are now in the ground.

  16. ​ @realiteechecka I believe most of the RA forces in non-combat areas have already been sent to fight Ukraine. Certainly there are forces from Vladisvostok fighting in Ukraine. And the Finnish border is very thinly defended. Strange really, considering how much Putin told his people he wouldn't accept NATO on his border.

  17. Ukraine isn't losing territory. If what ruSSia has achieved around Avdiivka and Marinka is significant, then the Ukrainian counter offensive was a huge success - because it took a lot more land off the ruSSian invaders, than ruSSia has achieved in its current offensive. It cannot be helped that you can't figure this riddle out, as your brain has been damaged by excessive exposure to ruSSian disinformation.

  19.  @MerryMac1000  Be fair. They said Kyiv in 2 or 3 days, and all of Ukraine in a few weeks. Either way they have failed. Slava Ukraini.

  20.  @kristianjensen5877  I think you are being very unfair... ....for leaving Belarus off your list. Slava Ukraini.

  21. ​ @janom2687  What special operation? Russia is in an all out war with Ukraine, and barely holding its own. Stop reading Russian comic books. Slava Ukraini.

  22. ​@dadlord689 A very senseless statement you made there. You claimed the money invested in supporting Ukraine achieved nothing. It achieved the liberation of 10% of Ukraine, including six cities. An unfortunate, but apparently necessary side effect is that it also resulted in the injuring, maiming, or death of ~300,000 ruzzian men.

  24. ​@stupidburp I don't think so. I think they were part of the Ukrainian Peoples Republic which existed from 1917 to 1922.

  25.  @ChickityChicken  "Whole nations will be eliminated". You're talking about Belarus and the Russian Federation no doubt. It's a same but you're right, those two nations need to be eliminated as they have shown themselves to be totally irresponsible and (with constant talk of nukes) a threat to the rest of the world.

  26.  @freak94able  There you are going on about some irrelevant guy who died 60+ years ago, again. What was his name again? Stalin maybe?

  27. The AFU aren't interested in occupying someone else's country. Only the ruSSians think like that. So when can we expect the ruSSian army to complete it's three day march on Kyiv then?

  30.  @QANews  Hey QANews. A just peace will come in due course. A hurried peace now will save some lives in the short term, but result in a greater loss of lives in the long term. Mad Dog Pootin must be stopped first - "To save lives on all sides." Best regards.

  32.  @RabbitShirak  True, but there are more problems. Many of the Palestinians have lived in the area now for ten or twenty generations. It's what they think of home.Yet Israel keeps squeezing them out. Where would they go if Israel were to keep on this course of disregarding their property rights?

  33.  arlekino1263  Yes, isn't it terrible what the Russian fascists are doing to their neighbor. Why don't they just go back to Russia and leave Ukraine alone?

  34.  @SorbusAucubaria  Unfortunately I think you are right. They have built new spans for the bridge just months ago. The next new span(s) will be quicker. If ATACMs live up to GMLRS reputation then Ukraine will be able to hit the bridge easily in the near future.

  36.  @Neunzahn  "Ukraine is not a democratic state, nor is russia". I agree that russia is not, but I strongly disagree about Ukraine. Ukraine has had two elections and a peaceful handover of power since its Maidan revolution. I'm not suggesting it's a perfect democracy (even the US democracy is flawed) but the elections appear to have been mostly free and fair, and Ukraine was certainly trying.

  37.  @ravichitgopkar5304  Have you told North Korea or Iran? That would be a better way of obtaining lasting peace.

  38.  @AussieGgc  Yeah, maybe I should only watch ruSSian propaganda channels.

  39.  @Noel-ji8nm  "Ukraine has suffered over 300,000 KIA since the beginning of the conflict compared to Russia's 45,000" Hah, man have you been sucked in by Russian propaganda and BS. It makes you look like a fool when you say things like that.

  40.  @Noel-ji8nm  "It's Ukraine who has Nazi tattoos." I'm sure there must be one or two Ukrainians with Nazi tattoos, just as I am sure there are one or two Russian fighters with Nazi tattoos - take Prigozins right hand man for example, he's covered in Nazi tattoos. What makes Russia "Nazi" is the fascist policies now coming out of the Kremlin. You sound like a hypocrite if you ignore Russia's Rusich and other neo-Nazi groups and individuals.

  42. ​@yoloswagolo1 No, it's why russia is losing over 1000 troops daily, with North Korean, Iranian, and Chinese aid.

  43. Do you have foto or something to prove that those aircraft are not destroyed? After all, it happened in illegally occupied territory, so how are we supposed to get photos Ivan?

  44. Agreed. But until we can convince the ruSSians to go home...

  45. There are plenty of channels that give an overview. Try some of them. I like the RFU format where he concentrates on one particular area each episode.

  46. Same happened in Ukraine (Kharkiv, Kherson), but the orcbots keep saying russia is winning huge victories, when it's obvious that they are not.

  48.  @Kerguelen.Mapping  You mean, they CLAIM to have annexed all those places, but nobody recognises their claims because the referenda were faked/tampered with, and were not free and fair.

  49.  @Kerguelen.Mapping  If they don't control all the land and it's not internationally recognised, then it's NOT annexed.

  50. Because there aren't any areas where russia is making significant advances. And maybe you should tell us the cost to russia of the insignificant advances they are making.
