  1.  @msl2299  I agree. I give up trying to understand what he's saying. But as he appears to be pushing ruSSian disinformation, I don't spend too long trying to decipher his rantings.

  2. They've got some T-14s hidden somewhere. Hidden so no one finds out how poorly made they are.

  3.  @timparker4160  "ok buddy, believe whatever you like." So that's it then? You claim russia is winning, but you can't give a single example of where, who, or how. You aren't very clever are you!!

  4. Why? Surely that's the job of pro-ruZZian channels?

  5.  @freak94able  The Ukrainian counter offensive isn't going as well as hoped. But I take consolation from the fact that it's going a lot better than the Russian winter offensive. I mean, what did the winter offensive achieve? Few settlements and some farmland for 30.000 killer or wounded soldiers? If thats success for you with the second most powerful military in the world and decades of training then I can feel sorry for you only because the whole offensive was an utter failure.

  6.  @niewaznie3764  Fair comment. The whole of the rest of the world laughs at Russia. Russia was going to capture all of Donetsk by New Year - after losing thousands of Russian troops they managed to take most of Soledar. And that was after New Year... Slava Ukraini.

  7. Oh come on. The T-14 is so good that not a single one has been lost on the battlefield (only on the Moscow parade ground). lol Slava Ukraini.

  8. Apparently, they can.

  9.  @scipioafricanus5871  I fear there needs to be some haste. Wherever the frontlines are when the rains come, will likely remain the frontlines for the winter - which will give the Orcs time to set up new minefields and Ukraine will have to start de-mining all over again. I hope I'm wrong. Slava Ukraini.

  11.  @yellowtunes2756  Actually, you are wrong. Putin didn't say it, but his mouthpieces did. They said Kyiv would be taken in 2-3 days on ruzzian television.

  12. Whereas it has no right to attack it's neighbor...

  13.  @yellowtunes2756  Nah, more BS.

  14. And yet ruSSia doesn't have air supremacy - in spite of having (so called) fifth generation aircraft. Then again, ruSSia has T-14 tanks...

  15.  @vilnis-trash  "maybe try reading my first comment" I usually quote the comment that I am critiquing. Do you?

  16.  @yellowtunes2756  "It's when you greatly exaggerating enemy casualties" Or when you greatly downplay your own casualties, such as claiming they are about one sixth of the actual numbers. How long have you been a war propagandist?

  17.  @joachimfrank4134  "Bringing the railroad tracks under fire control would be enaugh". The one and only rail track running through the "land bridge" is immediately south of Tokmak - and about 20km from Robotyne. It is probably already within fire control. There are several highways that pass through Tokmak - which will also be with fire control. Unfortunately there is one other highway - the M14 - that follows the coast. Ukraine will have to get near Melitopol to cut that one.

  18. "I’m about the truth". It's a shame you're not about writing in English. Between abbreviations and americanisms - you completely lost me... You might as well have written in Arabic.

  19.  @Paul-wo3qh  Actually Paul, they haven't. I have this discussion frequently with my wife. Israelites left Palestine hundreds of years ago. They only returned after WW2. I don't think any property claims are valid after that period.

  20.  @fabb5  "Shoigu Confirms" With those two words you discredited everything you said.

  21.  @freak94able  Ukraine is already prevailing on the battlefield. How many cities has the Russian army captured in the last year? Not even one. Ukraine has liberated 6 cities in the last year.

  22.  @marvinkmooney7744  No, he's right. All they have to do is leave. We know exactly why Putin ordered the attack on Ukraine. It is because he wants to recreate a "greater russia" and losing control of Ukraine will significantly hamper that aim. I hope you are not foolish enough to think it was to protect anyone... But you are right that this channel is focused on individual areas, and does not give an overall picture. I use this channel to supplement information I get from other channels. And if you're pushing ruSSian disinformation then you are right again when you say "You wont like hearing this" - because I'm bored with the BS that ruSSian trolls are attempting to spread..

  23. RFU doesn't give an overview of the war - you have to go elsewhere for that. He concentrates on certain battles and gives a very good breakdown - better than anyone else. But are the ruSSians winning or losing? If you look at equipment losses on Oryx you'll see ruSSian vehicle losses average twice what Ukraine loses (and as western armoured vehicles are designed to protect the crew, while ruSSian vehicles are not - chances are ruSSian manpower losses are much higher than 2:1). And if you look at Deep State you will find that the ruSSian army has captured NO significant areas of Ukraine in over a year - while the Ukrainian army has liberated tens of thousands of sq km of Ukraine over the same period. That is not to say the ruSSians don't have some victories, but they are minor in comparison.

  24.  @mtrivelin  He did say "no strategic value other than use for humanitarian purposes". I took it to mean no strategic military value.

  25. And those Australian F-18s.

  26.  @bambesfresser  You are right, this year is different from last year. But your statement "The line in the north won't move until the war is actually over" is guesswork. Slava Ukraini.

  27.  @Nizmo718  How do you conclude Ukraine are loosing? As others have suggested - try some critical thinking so that you don't look like a Russian troll. The Ukrainian army brought the Russian army progress to a halt nearly a year ago. Since then the Russian army has been unable to capture any significant land are in Ukraine, and not so much as a single city. In contrast, over the same period, the Ukrainian army has liberated over 13,000sq km of Ukraine, mainly in Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts, including six cities. In the last year Ukraine has taken back 30% of the land under Russian occupation. So who is winning did you say?

  28.  @prevedomedved  "and it is stupid to blame someone for what everyone is doing". No I disagree. If you want to put things right you have to make a start somewhere. Your policy of turning a blind eye to everything that is wrong, is what is "stupid" and "foolish".

  29.  @yellowtunes2756  "Just because Ukraine intercepts Russian rockets above cities - doesn't mean that Russia targeted civilians". Oh, so hitting the Mariupol theatre with two precision bombs (for no reason) while it had 600 women and children inside, isn't targetting cilvilians? Hypocrite.

  30.  @JohnCSmith-lp1qr  "What Russian offensive.? They took the donbass and Crimea now defending" My point exactly. They took the Donbas and have not taken anything more in a year. They are not capable of gaining Ukrainian land anymore and are desperately try to hold on to what they have got. But of course, in those 12 months the Ukrainian army has liberated huge areas of Ukraine. It sucks to be a ruSSian troll.

  33.  @Kerguelen.Mapping  "so according to the rfu the eastern regions of Ukraine are russian". russia can think what it likes, it doesn't make it true. In fact russia lies all the time.

  34. Indeed. Putin never visits his frontline troops (too scared) and ran for St Petersburg when Prigozhin was still over 100km away (very scared).

  35.  @GusOfTheDorks  Nope, that doesn't worry me in the slightest. I prefer to hear about the victories, and there seem to be a lot of them. The ruSSian army hasn't had many victories in the last twelve months so there should only be Ukrainian victories to hear about.

  36. You must be looking at a ruSSian map. In the real world ruSSia has lost 10,000 men to take 0.01% of Ukraine in recent months.

  39.  @Bird_McBride  "I've been in a civil war zone all my life so it's not a problem for me." Yes, we can tell you have. The repeated concussion is really effecting your thoughts process.

  40. Ukraine isn't getting "smoked" anywhere. russian troops on the other hand...

  41. ​ @dadlord689  Oh very seriously! But I must apologize that my reply got interrupted and sent unfinished. Ukraine liberated over 20,000 Sq km of land including 6 cities with that help.

  42. ​@dadlord689 you suggest that Ukraine lied to ruzzia. Even if that were true, it would be no different to the multiple lies ruzzia has told Ukraine.

  43.  @joshuabean9409  "the ussr was one of the nation's that claimed victory in ww2 over Germany. They won" That's right, the country that received aid from the west was among the winners, and the same will happen in this conflict.

  44.  @joshuabean9409  "The forces that were Allied with the ruSSia won." Yes, it was the forces that Allied with Ukraine who won. It was the forces who received aid from the west that won. It will be the forces that receive aid from the west that win this conflict too. "It doesn't really mean anything it only betrays your perspective" That's right, and it betrays yours as well. Slava Ukraini.

  45.  @barnysadventures  Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think he said two ships sunk and one damaged.

  46. Nah, stick with Ukraine. We like your reporting and would hate to see it watered down with your attention elsewhere.

  47. How are they doing in Syria?

  48. ​@georgebettasso1395 Although actually, the US withdrawal from Afghanistan was voluntary, but completely stuffed up. The russian withdrawal from Syria was forced. So not "just like" at all.

  49.  @nathanembree9216  No, maybe you should get the Bill passed and do both - because supporting Ukraine is at least as important as the border.

  50. You are correct Peter. We have all understood that ruSSia will lose the war. But Putin wants to prolong the suffering.
