Dima is very good in collecting the reports and weeding out propaganda , but he analyzes things from tactical level and sometimes he makes mistakes , like not seeing forest behind the tree. Ukrainian operations on the left bank of Dnepr river have no consequence at all on Russian plans , in fact , those are working in their favor (one of the major Russian goals of the SMO is annihilation of Ukrainian armed forces). Even if Ukrainian forces develop their foothold at Krimky (or whatever the spelling is correct , for that place) , where would they go and with what ? There is more than 100 km (in a strait line) to the most western edge of Crimea and some 120 000 , to 150 000 Russian soldiers (I mean , between Kherson and Crimea and front line up north) , with more fire power than Ukraine can ever muster (and the western help is dying out) , never mind the defensive fortifications and working logistics. Ukraine is spent in the fresh man power (or women power , since they draft them now) and , surely , with materials and arms (all sorts). Small tactical victories of Ukrainian forces (I mean , since the beginning of the "great spring/summer counteroffensive ") , in territorial terms , are nullified by losses on different parts of the front and dearly payed in loses of all kinds. Soon Avdeevka will fall , which will collapse whole Ukrainian defense on the eastern part of the country (left bank of Dnepr , belov the Kharkov ). It would take some months to be done , but it is inevitable. Of course , some more Russian solders will die too (and even more will get wounded) and some civilians in Donetsk , but , it will happen. The best thing Ukrainians could do now , is to ground in the bastards that put them in this situation (since they can't reach western "sponsors") and ride them for over 30 years (while they still have weapons) and make peace with Russia (which won't be pleasant at all , but they will get to save more lives) . Also they should look out of what Poland might do in the west of Ukraine (they certainly wouldn't come there to help Ukrainian state/country).

Dima gets over himself in analysis , sometimes. Use of women in Ukrainian armed forces isn't a new thing , they just have more larger presence (numbers) , because of conscription's (and volunteering in some cases). Which has little to do , in relation to (im)possible Euro-Russian war. I very much doubt that Europeans will attack Russia and Russia , for sure , doesn't have intention to attack anyone in Europe. Polish authorities may have dream of expanding Poland on it's old territories in western Ukraine , but that will not happen and , for sure , nobody would join in (and with what ?). I'm sure that there are politicians with wet pipe dreams of destroying Russia and taking over some historical lands of particular countries and destroying and subduing "non obedient peasants " (certain nations) , but that is just wild imagination of people without touch with reality and God sindrome.

@georgewilliams514 Well , I'll answer your rhetorical question - who the enemy is. The enemy is the same as it was from the dawn of organized societies - that would be the people with lots of power and leverage over most of the other people. To be able to understand particular conflicts and events , you really have to know history of that particular place , pretty much in detail. To explain it really simple , in this case , it would be anyone who profits from those deaths , which includes financiers and instigators of this mess , which are 99% western political and financial powers (there are some people from different places who have invested interests in the arms production and world market influences , besides the ones with "god syndrome"). Basically , any type of globalists. Ukrainian authorities (corrupt as hell and installed by neocons and intelligence services , backed by US tax payers money) are bearing , at the moment , most of the guilt , because they know (as well as their puppet masters) that this is lost for Ukraine and they know it for months now (and looking for off ramp) , while people still die in masses. Even though it seems that war is going on at full scale (looking from outside of the field) it is over , but yet have to be finished , similar like everybody knew , in late 1943 , that German axes (by that time with Japan and some small group of vassals) is done (after Stalingrad) , but it took two more years and some 19 million lives more (and two nukes , which were aimed at Soviets at the time) to be properly done. This will last for months and many lives more , until it collapses onto itself (I mean Ukrainian structures , both military and political and social). In the meantime , we have other distractions (very convenient timing) in the middle east and there are many more "spare" regions in the world to do the same.

Dima , it would be nice to check an English dictionary from time to time. Ruthless , means "without consideration , or reason" , which is , in this case , untrue (these were precise strikes and , surely , not without reason and warnings). Also , Iran backed Shea militias aren't always very "obedient" , because they have their own leaders (they may act on their own , sometimes to the contrary of Iran's interests). Iran doesn't want a war with US , at this point (even though they may see the inevitability of that) , so leave the Geo political analysis and stick to reports and tactical coverage. Middle East is much more complicated and fragmented , than general West vs. East stuff.

@georgewilliams514 In this case , evil came from the west (It has been like that from crusades , with the exception of ottoman expansion in 15th century). Convincing (brainwashing) of people , has been done for over 30 years , in this case and it is not hard , especially when you have lots of poor , uneducated people. I'm from Balkan , so , believe me , I know how easy it is and I know what I'm talking about. Also , I know history pretty well (in general - I'm not a historian) and it's easy to conclude , that this is not the first time (probably not the last time) that something like this is happening (not just in Ukraine , I mean in general). It is to complex subject to discuss in YT comments. However , to make it simple , look at it in this way: there are always seeds of evil available (by this , I mean ideas , or ideology , or , even , religion) that are used on the people (which represent a fertile ground , because the evil is in all of us , as well as good) , when someone wants to gain , or achieve something. Always look who benefits from something and follow the trail of money. Than , you will know who your enemy is .

@klangartberlin Anyone who follows developments on the front in Ukraine (with right mind) can't deny that Ukrainian professional solders fight well (at least those who survived long enough to gain some experience). Forced conscripts , on the other hand , not so much , they just die , or , if they have a chance , they surrender (they don't have the training (often . they aren't equipped properly) and they didn't chose, or wanted to be there). Conscripts make more than 60% (some analysts claim more) of what is left of Ukrainian military . No one can deny courage of the people who go forward , for an example , in Ryabotine , or on the left bank of Dnepr , near Kherson , knowing that there is 90% chance they will not come out of there. Not because they can't fight well , but because they don't do too much shooting , but rather , they are faced with drones , artillery , missals , electronic warfare , air power , which they don't have enough to mach the opponent (and in some cases , they don't have it at all).
Western help , in terms of weapons and finances has came down , from a flood to trickle. NATO countries have very little (if anything significant) to give to Ukraine , in terms of weapons (and Russians are still ramping up production of weapons , with lots of improvements and innovations) and financial help (besides basic maintenance of government) never reached people where it was needed (Ukraine was and stil is , the most corrupt country in Europe). Most of it has been split between "the sponsors" and Ukrainian rulers (both official and unofficial). Material , humanitarian help from the west is being , mostly , sold to the local people , instead of distributing it for free. Overall , it is completely different situation , than it was one year , or even six months ago . You can see on Telegram channels (both Ukrainian and Russian) what is going on over there and not just on the front - from a first hand (ordinary soldiers and people).
If you take your information from the TV news and believe it - you are very naive. Ukraine has lost the war and even if it will take year , or so , to stop shooting and mass dying - it is a fact. Ukraine is running out of man (and women !?) power , weapons and , most importantly , ammunition. There is new show on the TV - Israel/Palestine war and the internal fighting (mostly political , so far , even there were some high profile assassinations) in the Ukraine has started. Poland has blocked border crossings with Ukraine. Winter is coming. Ukrainian infrastructure is devastated and will be even more in the near future (both energy and road/train).
It is not a matter of cheer leading , those are facts. Every normal person wishes that people stop violently and unnecessary dying . Anyway , How do you think that Ukraine can "win" this war , when they couldn't take over most of the Donbass in eight years , even though they did had help from some NATO countries and USA in particular ?

@Harold046 You aren't talking about current German government , for sure ? Scholz was standing right next to the Biden , we he announced "the end" of Nordstream pipelines in late January of 2022 in a press conference and didn't even blink , let alone to say something against it. Annalena (foreign minister) has said that German people didn't matter as much , as Ukraine winning (or Russia loosing) , besides many other stupidities. These are ideologists (and , mostly , quite dumb ones). In the middle of energy crisis , they have proceeded with shutting down nuclear power plants (you know - green agenda) and still buying Russian oil products (from India , at three times the price they had before) and LNG at four times bigger price from USA and other places . Sanctions they've imposed on Russia , hurt them more , than Russia (which has surpassed first effects of sanctions , over year ago , simply by changing suppliers and buyers) What is patriotic in that ?
