Comments by "Ivan" (@Ivan-wp1ne1) on "What has Ukraine’s counter offensive achieved a few days in? - BBC Newsnight" video.

The German press writes: The Russians are fighting better... than expected "The Russians are fighting better than expected. The attacks since Thursday have not yet led to the liberation of any cities or even villages," writes Bild, describing the events on the southern front. You read these reports of the German press today about the unexpected resilience of the Russian army, and you remember that 80 years ago, already other Germans, in the same way, at first with surprise, and then with horror, wrote... the same: "October 1, 1942. Our assault battalion reached the Volga. More precisely, the Volga is still 500 meters away. Tomorrow we will be on the other side and the war is over." "October 3. Very strong fire resistance, we cannot overcome these 500 meters. We are standing on the border of some grain elevator." "October 6th. Damn elevator. It is impossible to approach him. Our losses exceeded 30%." "October 10th. Where do these Russians come from? The elevator is no longer there, but every time we approach it, there is a fire coming from under the ground." "October 15th. Hooray, we have overcome the elevator. There are 100 people left from our battalion." And a little lower: "It turned out that the elevator was defended by 18 Russians, we found 18 corpses." Comment: I would advise modern Germans (and not only them) to read the memoirs of their own soldiers, officers and generals of that war, who ended their "victorious" campaign in Russia by capitulating in Berlin. As we can see, history repeats itself here too,

@Kurt Europe has a tradition: every century comes to Russia and gets spanked. 1667, 1743, 1812, 1945… we all know it will happen again now

@Kurt dude, the Army now is totally different. We step back due to too few ppl controlling huge area. Now it is a lot bigger, better equipped. Anyway, keep joking, the descendant of German losers🥹

@Kurt where? In Bakhmut? Or maybe in the south where it lost at least 4 Leopards and dozens of other vehicles doing the same stuff for 3 days: comes, blows up on mines, concentrate on roads, get shelled by Russians. The main issue for them is that they could not destroy Russian radios, while Russian destroyed their, so they cant use their drones for attacks

@crook4422 the army is not as it was in the beginning dude. Research the subject and… learn history of European “adventures” in Russia during the last 500 years

@crook4422 agree, Europe doesn’t either. It just has not enough natural resources for a long military conflict. Russia won’t come to Europe dude, relax. That’s not our objective.

It was the Kiev regime that unleashed this war in 2014. In accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, we had the right to provide assistance to Donbass, referring to the self-defense clause. Russia had the right to recognize the independence of Donbass in full compliance with the UN Charter. These Territories had the right to declare their independence. So we have the right to recognize them. We did it. And then, having signed a treaty of friendship and cooperation with them, we had the right to provide them with this assistance in full accordance with the UN Charter. Because the Kiev regime has made repeated attempts to solve this problem by war.

@AlijandroXIV dude, it would, and it was not help, we paid for it. And it was only about 2% of overall needs. Allies made money on that “help”. Now Europe and US makes money “helping” Ukraine. If USSR did not stop nazism, no one in the world would, you’d speak German now or would not even born. Russia is the legal sucessor of USSR, it paid all USSR debts after USSR collapse, however, we do remember that it were Soviet ppl who won the war, we never say Russians did. My two Ukrainian grands fought for their land, not for Soviet party. Now Ukrainians forgot that actually commies gave it a state, it’s a project of Lenin and before him, there was no any Ukraine in the world. Now ukronazis fight against commie monuments, and against Russians, who gave them a lot of Russian lands 100 years ago

@alexandersergienko1098 yes I am, and my dad is Ukrainian. It’s a shame to betray grandfathers who fought against nazism.

@crook4422 What are NATO's options? And they don't have any options. The level, scope and severity of the conflict in Ukraine is unimaginable for the alliance. NATO troops are not ready for this, are not trained and are not equipped. NATO does not have the necessary supply system for this, especially with regard to the power of artillery fire. NATO has no army worth mentioning. All NATO forces are dispersed throughout Europe, and in order to assemble them, they will have to withdraw troops from the barracks, and for 80% of NATO troops this is impossible. They cannot leave the barracks because they have no equipment, no supply system, nothing. And then they have to be moved from all over Europe to the collection point, and roads, bridges, tunnels are not adapted for this. We are already getting problems here. Europe has no options. That's why the Vilnius summit is of the utmost importance and why the Ukrainians blew up this dam. Because NATO will face the fact that they have nothing but loud statements. And they will begin to realize that their worst nightmares will come true. Russia will win this military conflict by the end of summer, by the beginning of autumn. They have time for this. What will NATO do then? So politically they have to find a way out of this conflict. People are talking about Poland. Understand, the Polish army is no good, they cannot carry out operations on such a scale. While the Russians are experts in this, they have been honing their skills in this for more than a year. There is no force in the world that could cope with this better than Russia. Because no one else has ever been in such conflicts. They have built an amazing doctrinal defense, Ukrainians have no chance to crack it. And their troops have recently been trained in a doctrinal offensive so that when the time comes, the Russians can carry out a large-scale offensive operation that no one in Europe is capable of carrying out. So NATO has no options but to find a way out of the catastrophe that they have arranged.

@AlijandroXIV this way, NATO is a war criminal, try to count how many countries it attacked during the last 30 years. Only in Iraq, at least 500.000 civilians were killed and no one cries about that. Your understanding of the conflict is plain and ignorant. Without knowing historical background, events that caused the conflict in 2014 and that have been happening during 8 years before 2014.

@alexandersergienko1098 чувак, Голодомор вылумали вы сами. В то время голод также был в Поволжье и Сибири. СССР - не то, что придумали русские, это наша общая история и вина за плохое у нас общая. И не только на нас: в то время ваши теперяшние друзья устроили эмбарго, отрезав Союз от экспорта, отчасти спровоцировава голод. Гулаг - сеть лагерей, а ты как думал, через 20 лет после гражданской войны все будет тихо-спокойно? Еще раз, вы ненавидите коммунистов, но они создали ваше государство. Логично было бы сейчас отказаться от русских земель, котооые вы получили благодаря им. Но нет, вы же хохлы. Вот и купили себе войну.

@AlijandroXIV dude, nazism is always nazism. There ppl use symbols of nazi Germany, use methods of nazi Germany (burn ppl alive locked up in a building laughing at them and calling BBQ), and speak like nazis. Means they ARE nazis. But who am I talking to… your govt used German nazis after WWII for its own purpose. I should/must/owe you nothing. This is MY country (I was born in) paid the most to destroy nazi Germany, this is my family - both Russian and Ukrainian part - that is suffering now. I don’t fukeijg care what you think about it all. Russia is doing right and will win, as it always did.

@АлександрАдикаев-к7т Александер, СССР не выиграло войну в одиночку, но сыграло решающую роль в победе над нацизмом, понеся несравнимо бОльшие потери
