  1.  @nerdyali4154  wdym by "stopped" - Russia has been bombing Ukranian positions and slowly pushing for half a year now. You could point at the frontline at any time and say "omg, Russia has stopped" and wait for something big to happen Ukraine just shown what does it take to push fast - thousands of dead and wounded within days. Russia did it too at the start of the war, but captured huge amounts of territory, instead of few villages in a small pocket that has to be supplied through pontoon across the river
    80
  2.  @mandoreforger6999  you're talking about capturing entire Donbas within days, but forgetting about Stalingrad and Leningrad being held for almost 3 years. You're forgetting about Breslau being besieged for 3 months few months before end of the war, when Germans used children to fight cos they had no troops left. Fortifications matter. And Ukraine was building them around Donbas for 8 years. There's a reason why attack in this region is so slow while in other regions villages are taken left and right. But Russia can't just push in other directions, cos Russia uses limited troops. That's why "bomb enemies into depression and then push" strategy is used right now And when Russia controls entire city and some enemy soldiers are sitting in literal bunkers with no ability to get more ammo - they are basically done for. If you have all criminals in jail - it doesn't mean that you have problem with crimes in your country, because those criminal's can't escape

  3.  @allydea  Russia fires 75k shells per day compared to 35k shells that NATO supplies to Ukraine in entire month. Considering that part of those 300k will be delivering supplies - i doubt that they will have any problems Some soldiers need less training than others. Big part of those 300k are people who served in "contract army" (war is their career), but they cancelled their contracts shortly after war in Ukraine started. So they don't need much additional training I'm Russian and i can assure you that 95% of people who stayed in Russia have the same opinion: "I don't want to fight, but if my country calls me - i will do it with no questions". So "against their will" is too strong of the word. And it's the same for Ukrainians And btw about salary, they all can still go to Wagner for loads of money. Even if Russian army called them already.

  4.  @GeneralDiamondSlayer  troops with few days of training and no equipment can't push. Vast majority of Ukranian troops are sitting trenches and dying to Russian artillery. In this offensive Ukraine not only lost their most experienced troops, but also a lot of equipment, they can't afford it. Russia is the opposite - they can loose equipment, but not soldiers By loosing equipment - Ukraine looses the ability to push and defend territories well. Obviously, if Ukraine manages to push Russia out of their side of Dnepr river - Ukraine will be able to put more troops on other fronts, but if they won't have enough equipment - it's not gonna change anything for Russia, they will bomb 50 guys in the trench somewhere in Donbas instead of 30 guys (more kills for the same amount of ammo). In my opinion, without shit loads of equipment from NATO (thousands of artillery pieces and tanks) - this offensive is useless at best and can be bad for Ukranians
    43
  5.  @imperialnerd4662  yeah Ukraine stated that they need 500 javelins per day. Btw Lockheed produces 2000 javelins per year. And usa already sent 5500 javelins in total. Considering that Russia has around 13k tanks in total, not all javelins destroying tanks in one hit (due to lack of experience or bad angle) - entire NATO can't produce enough weapons to stop Russia
    35
  6.  @markaguilera493  I'm not sure how can you call it a meat grinder for Russia since they are pushing very slowly while bombing Ukranian positions 24/7
    31
  7.  @georgegreen4819  i mean, Ukraine pushed through little bridgehead, deep in Russian lands, surrounded by Russian forces, shelled by artillery and aircraft. And that's all in open fields with little to no places to hide. Dude, there are photos of tanks being destroyed so much that only their trucks are remaining Russians aren't trapped there, cos Russia can make dozens of pontoon ferries and each can deliver up to 360 tons of ammo and equipment. It's a lot easier for Russia to supply their troops, than to Ukraine, because their pushed deeply in Russian lands, they are basically in cauldron, surrounded by 3 sides, while all their supplies are coming from few pontoon bridges that can be shelled at any moment Btw, every Russian soldier in Ukraine signed the contract and can cancel it at any time. So everyone who's still fighting - wants to be there. Unlike Ukranian conscripts

  8. ​ @victorpetchenev4119  Неожиданное наступление с какой целью? Очередной пиар вроде Курской области, без военных целей или стратегии? Каким образом это в теории может приблизить их к победе или поставить Россию на колени?
    29
  9. ​ @jesan733  I guess you forgot about Nuland supporting the coup in Kiev while literally picking who's gonna be in the government and about USAID sponsoring 90% of Ukrainian media. Read the article "extending Russia" from 2019 from Institute of the study of war. Which is owned by Nuland's husband if I'm not mistaken. Very interesting
    28
  10.  @neilba1  in entire war Russia lost 40k troops according to Mediazona, including Wagner, other PMCs and prisoners. Doesn't look like a disaster to me. Especially comparing it to Russia losing 28k people in car crushes in 2011
    28
  11. ​ @lightworker2956 I don't like when people imagine someone's objectives and then celebrate when nothing happens. But I legit can't think of any military objective Ukraine could have hoped to capture other than the Kursk itself or a powerplant. Either Ukrainian commanders made some unimaginably genius move that noone can figure out or it was the dumbest thing they could have done
    28
  12.  @fv5855  "31 thousand dead Russian soldiers " according to Ukraine propaganda during war. War propaganda is always the same "we are doing amazing, we are good guys and fighting like lions, enemies are bad guys, giving up and dying like flies". Btw, 80% of casualties in wars are from artillery and bombing. And Russia outnumberes Ukraine in artillery greatly. And Russia's army mostly sitting in tanks and armoured vehicles. So it's physically impossible for Russia to loose so much men
    26
  13.  @markaguilera493  as this YouTuber estimated - 80 shells are needed to kill 1 soldier. Artillery, like grad, shells huge area and there's a decent chance that some shrapnel hits soldier in high speed. Tos 1 is a flamethrower and it can kill you even if you're in trench while shell landed 10m away from you. Plus drones with grenades. Also if you're attacking entrenched position - it's enough to pin down defenders with tank fire and throw grenades into their trench while pushing in relative safety. It's not old wars where soldiers had to run through open fields against machine guns Not to mention that artillery can be corrected by drone operators and land shots more precisely
    22
  14. Unfortunately they make normal equipment, which won't make you look like a mad max or a black orc from Warhammer
    21
  15.  @markaguilera493  either Russia sends "wave of troops" or they use shit loads of artillery and push slowly, you have to pick one. Considering that Russia is barely attacking and gaining ground trench by trench after days of bombardment - it's option 2
    17
  16. ​ @VelikiyChuchhe ну, спустя два года у Украины кончились добровольцы, почти кончились солдаты, иссякает поддержка от НАТО, кончились натовские запасы артиллерийских снарядов, да и поддержка простых граждан в натовских странах продолжает падать. Лишь немногие войны кончаются полным захватом чужой страны
    14
  17.  @markaguilera493  indeed. That's why it takes so many shells to kill someone. And Russia fires 10 times more artillery than Ukraine
    12
  18.  @evanburgess8428  every piece of artillery NATO sent to Ukraine has superior/equal Russian analogue. Himars has the same range as smerch and tornado s, but Russian artillery has more rockets and has far larger quantities. Pzh2000 has same range and accuracy as koalitsya. There are also tons of missiles like Kinzjal that are multiple times faster than any NATO missile. So what Russian artillery is worse than NATO? Russia lost 6k men plus DNR, LNR and Wagner, not that much. USA indeed only lost 60k, but south Vietnam lost 400k and 1300k wounded, compared to north Vietnam 700k dead and 600k wounded. It's not that big of a difference considering wounded and the way USA fought this war and killing 2m civilians "Russia won't win" - for Russia it's about security of Russia, for USA it was about fighting another proxy war against USSR. Considering how little equipment NATO sends to Ukraine - Russia simply can't loose. Well, until NATO decides to actually send Ukraine heavy equipment in hundreds and thousands Well, 80% of casualties in any war caused by artillery and bombs. Russia has huge advantage in artillery and air force. Russia has more and better equipment. Russia was barely attacking since march and mostly just spamming Ukraine with artillery. So Russia probably lost like 10 times less soldiers than Ukraine

  19. ​ @salsahunger  Теоретические, но вполне логичные. Если снабжение идёт по одной дороге, то держать ее в поле зрения с помощью дронов довольно просто. А во время ротации противника имееть готовый расчет дроноводов или артиллеристов тоже вполне реально
    10
  20.  @jaynikk758  in 2023 Russia gained more land than Ukraine, despite grand Ukrainian offensive. But most importantly they gained drone superiority, which was the only Ukrainian advantage. They also increased production of shells, armoured vehicles, rockets and everything else to kill Ukrainian troops more effectively every month Do you think there's a reason why Zaluzhny is crying for half a million troops? Despite Ukraine kidnapping men off streets to throw into military, they still can't replace their losses. Also, why should have Russia started some big offensive in 2023? Unlike Ukraine, Russia has it's own military industry and amount of their supplies doesn't depend on gained ground
    10
  21.  @markaguilera493  they used far worse artillery and were using human wave tactics and gas

  23. You should probably ask Ukrainians why they kept bombing Donbas and dam the river to Crimea to deliberately starve 2 million people. How would you feel if some bordering country started killing people of your nationality, erasing their culture and language?
    9
  24. ​ @HFddHFddHFdd  According to mediazona - Russia lost 60k in the entire war, which is roughly 60-70 soldiers per day. According to Budanov himself Ukraine was losing 200 soldiers dead per day during the defence of Severodonetsk. It was before Russia started using tons of fabs and drones

  25. We all appreciate the opinion of 1 month old bot account

  26. That's literally what happened. Are you denying map changes or something?

  27.  @adventuresinthedark  is he wrong? Or do you call everything you don't like "propaganda" ?
    9
  28.  @Brukner841  let's use tanks as an example. 12k tanks is a lot, but USSR produced 84k of t34 alone, tho they made 100k+ of other tank models. USA gave 14k planes, but USSR made 40k IL-2 alone and 100k other plane variants So yeah, lendlease gave USSR around 4-10% of their military equipment depending on type. Obviously it was a good help, but it's nothing compared to USSR production Zhukov most likely never said such a thing, writer Boris Sokolov made this phrase up and he isn't a reliable sources of information due to many lies he told before

  29. Do you think anyone who supports Ukraine and their bombardment of civilian cities since 2014 should also go to hell? Do you think everyone who supports leaders of NATO countries, that have been bombing middle east for last decades, should also go to hell?

  32. Where is he lying exactly? And it's much more profitable to lie about Ukrainian victories like Denis does. Why isn't he on the frontline?

  34. Putin never said anything about 3 days, it was an American general who said that Russia could capture Kiev in 3 days if Ukraine won't prepare for it. Are you lying on purpose or just unaware?
    7
  35. Russia isn't a super power? That's interesting, considering that they outproduce entire NATO and considering that their economy grows faster than any G7 member despite unprecedented sanctions
    7
  36.  @ВалентинВасильев-в1к  я верю заинтересованным сторонам только тогда, когда они признают свои ошибки. И то, только половине сказанного. Не слушай ни наших, ни их, когда они об успехах говорят
    7
  37. According to who? Ukrainian war propaganda?
    7
  38. 800k dead plus x4 wounded? So the entire Russian army is gone already. Are you implying that Ukraine is losing to an army of ghosts and crippled?
    7
  39. He also qouted BBC funded Russian opposition website mediazona. And i don't know what can be more honest than death reports of every particular soldier And what can Ukrainian sources know about Russian losses?
    6
  40. Nonsense. If Ukraine gives up on regions that don't want to be part of Ukraine anyway and promises to never join NATO - do you think every Ukrainian will collapse due to heart attack or something? 10 million Ukrainians (mostly women) left Ukraine and probably will never come back, Ukrainian men are getting kidnapped off streets to throw into military to fight against much stronger opponent. Fighting unwinnable war is what questions survival of Ukrainian nation, not loss of some regions
    6
  41. Do you realise that Russian casualties are much lower than Ukrainian, considering the huge Russian advantage in fire power? Do you realise that losing lots of soldiers and taking ground is better than losing much more soldiers and still losing ground? Do you think not negotiating with a much stronger foe is also "madness and stupidity" ? Do you realise that there's a reason why Putin said the first phrase before pro nazi Kievan coup and the over phrase before Ukraine got 8 years of experience in modern warfare and loads of NATO equipment? And why are you using this new account instead of your real one?

  43. Where exactly did he lied?
    6
  44.  @fraulens  there are photos of this huge boat around the powerplant. Either Ukranian decided to send an empty boat to Russians or their tried to attack the powerplant, cos they hoped that Russia will send their heavy equipment away because of the foreign visitors. You pick what's dumber
    6
  45. Can you explain how Ukrainians could have physically inflicted more casualties on Russia, while sitting in basements under fabs or being chased by drones during river crossing? Just because you want to believe some nonsense - doesn't make it true
    6
  46. Where exactly did he lied?
    6
  47. ​ @hanyolo382  Ukraine is losing much more soldiers than Russia because of the huge Russian advantage in fire power. If it wasn't the case - they wouldn't struggle with manpower, considering that both countries are recruiting 30k per month if Ukraine killed some general, who has nothing to do with the war itself, it doesn't mean that their situation got any better I don't think Russia lost a single oil or gas plant. Ukrainian drones are hitting random barrels and causing a fire, but it doesn't mean that production is stopped for more than a day Both sides are blowing up enemy factories, munitions, training camps and storages. Guess who's being damaged more, considering huge Russian advantage in missiles Russian gas isn't cut off from Europe. It's flowing perfectly fine through Turkey. Of course Russia has its own struggles, but are they worse than Ukrainian? If not, why should they be mentioned in a random video about a certain part of the frontline?
    6
  48. Ah, yes, banning for opinion based on western news and maps. Free speech at it's finest
    6
  49. How many Ukrainian soldiers do you think died during bombardment of Avdiivka? Do you realize that for Russia loosing few dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles isn't a big deal since they have dozens of thousands of them and make more every day?
    6
  50. Russia forced Ukraine to move tons of troops to Kharkov while capturing land everywhere else. What are you on about?
    6
  51.  @PassivePortfolios  yesterday Russia hit all 12 himars rockets (that were flying to this poor Russian bridge) with c400. As someone mentioned above - previously Ukraine used himars and grad at the same time, so some c400 rockets will hit grad. And Rybar (Russians source that Defence Politics Asia uses in his reports) said that sometimes Ukraine uses grad first and fires himars when c400 is reloading
    6
  52. 1 year old bot account mixed facts with blatant propaganda. Btw, wanna do the similar list about Ukraine?
    5
  53.  @thomasprice7893  cbsnews in 2004 were saying that 25% of American soldiers had to buy their armour before going to Iraq. Every country during huge mobilization will have problems in logistics which will be fixed later
    5
  54. He's literally using Ukrainian and western media to prove his point. What are you on about?
    5
  55. ​ @jz9944  considering the lack of manpower and weapons in Ukraine - Russian strategy is working. There's no point for them to rush anything, instead of using their huge fire power advantage. I mean, is there a reason why they should hurry up?
    5
  56. Avdeevka is the most fortified city in the world. And can you name a reason, why shouldn't Russia take it's time with it, considering their huge advantage in fire power?
    5
  57.  @Brukner841  less than 4% of soviet military equipment was supplied by the west Also destroying country that's supplied by entire NATO and loosing 5-7 times less soldiers than them is pretty impressive to me
    5
  58. Compare it to USA capturing Falluja in 2 months against 2k goat farmers with AK-47. Why should Russia be faster, considering that more soldiers and equipment defended Bahmut than entire UK has?
    5
  59. ​​ @cractrick9225 Ukraine does hide its military among civilians according to amnesty international and hundreds of photos and videos from the start of the conflict (when it was legal to film)
    5
  60. Well, I don't know about 5-10 times more losses, but it would be much harder. Allies haven't sent much weapons (in comparison to what USSR produced), but 10000 locomotives were a GREAT help. Without them the USSR would have lost many people and horses while moving millions of tons of ammo, food and equipment to sustain the offensive of 10 million soldiers across Europe. I don't think it's fair to say that allies won ww2 only because of the USSR or that USSR would have lost if not for allies. It was a combined effort or millions of people across the globe and they all played their part, we should be thankful for their sacrifices. Modern politics shouldn't distract us from it, it's not a competition
    5
  61. 300k according to who? Obvious and blatant war propaganda about enemy casualties? How stupid anyone can be to believe it?
    5
  62. How did Russia embarrassed itself? By outproducing the entire NATO? By growing the economy faster than any G7 member despite record sanctions? By decimating the Ukrainian army to such an extent that they can't even replace their losses despite kidnapping people off streets, si Zelensky and Zaluzhny had to cry about lacking 500k soldiers? By encircling Mariupol Lysichansk Severodonetsk Bahmut and Avdeevka without getting encircled once? You need to stop listening to one sided propaganda which only shows you Ukrainian victories and Russian defeats
    5
  63. Россия тоже проигрывала в атаке, кто бы спорил. Только они не рекламировали наступление месяцами и не сливали технику, которую сами произвести не в состоянии
    5
  64.  @Max-oy1yy  again, where exactly did he lied? Just because you heard something that doesn't fit your propaganda bubble - doesn't mean it's not true
    5
  65. Budanov said that Ukraine will be in Crimea in summer, that was their goal, but they only captured 1% if Zaporozhye. Even small village of Robotne held longer than 8000 best Ukrainian troops in Mariupol. But let's make it even simpler. What should have happened for you to call this offensive failure? According to BBC sponsored Mediazona, which uses actual data from cementeries and social media unlike random estimations, Russia lost 4k soldiers since the start of Ukranian offensive in entire front. So 40-50 people per day. We don't know Ukrainian losses now, but during DEFENCE of Severodonetsk Ukraine was loosing 200-300 dead soldiers per day according to Zelensky himself. So how many do you think Ukraine has lost in their offensive? "Russian air defence showed it in ineffectiveness" - how exactly and what are you referring to? Even according to oryx Russia lost a lot less air defence systems than Ukraine
    5
  66.  @varun009  what precision tooling are you referring to? Russia befriends everyone outside of NATO. They have good relationships with China and India, which is already half of the world's population. Plus they have good relationships with the entire Africa, which is another 20%. Westerns should stop treating NATO countries as "the world"
    5
  67.  @messier8379  if they keep fighting to the last Ukrainian with the same losses - war will end sooner. NATO is achieving peace lol
    5
  68. 20k dead in a day according to who? Ukrainian war propaganda? Because on d day at 80km frontline only 4k attackers died. Do you think that wagner looses as many soldiers (because frontline for them is much shorter) as Americans on d day, despite having huge advantage in artillery, aviation and tanks, while attacking slowly? Are you retarded or something? "Many are running away and getting shot" - not in Russian army, but maybe in Wagner. Btw, in USA laws during war time - desertion is also punished by death. It's a normal practice in majority of armies
    5
  69. Ukraine lost 10% of their leopard 2 and Bradley in those attacks without achieving anything. It's a big loss indeed
    5
  70. Ukraine captured gew villages in greyzone, while loosing 10-15% of their leopard 2s and Bradleys. Compare it to Russia encircling Bahmut and Avdiivka, while slowly pushing defenders away
    5
  71. Simultaneously attacking from 6 different directions and through the 15km pipeline at the same time - meat attack? Pro Ukrainian NPCs are just retarded
    5
  72. "Ukraine tries to save their people" by sending them into cauldrons for cheap PR stunts like in Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, Bahmut and Avdiivka?
    5
  73. You can't know if Russia "gets fucked in most of its operations" because Ukrainian propaganda only shows you operations where Russia got fucked. Also Russia losing equipment has nothing to do with actual losses. Leaked documents are nothing more than propaganda. Russia also posted plenty of "leaked documents" about Ukrainian losses, wanna trust them too? Ukraine was sending soldiers to die there for 9 months while it was clear that Ukraine can't achieve anything there after a week. This Krinky debacle is just very telling about Ukrainian priorities: they're ready to sacrifice thousands for PR stunts without having any military purpose whatsoever. Compare it to Russia leaving Kherson for example
    5
  74. 2 year old 40iq bot account talking nonsense. Ukraine "took over Belgorod" by taking 1 village at the border? Damn, what a great PR victory. How many Ukrainians Zelensky sacrificed for your entertainment in Krinky, Kursk and Belgorod?
    5
  75. It wasn't Putin that gave ovations to the old nazi in the Canadian parliament. It wasn't the Russian parliament that officially called nazi collaborators in ww2 "heroes". And it wasn't Russia that banned any symbols of the army that defeated nazism Just because you want to say something - doesn't mean you should open your month
    5
  76. Are you just repeating western propaganda without thinking about it? Ukraine had a navy, but Russia destroyed their navy in its entirety. Russia did lose ship, but they haven't lost a single ship that's launching rockets at Ukraine, so actual fighting wasn't affected at all Russia lost more aircraft than Ukraine because Russia uses more aircraft, you can only imagine how many Ukrainians died under fabs What major objectives are you referring to? Russia inflicted so many casualties on Ukraine that Ukraine can't even keep up with their losses despite kidnapping people off streets? Ukraine also has no volunteers, so denazification is going great "To turn the tide of the war" - yeah, cos Russia is winning due to huge fire power advantage, there's nothing to turn there Russia did lost plenty of tanks, but they're also producing more tanks than entire NATO, so Russia will always have more tanks than Ukraine 500k dead soldiers means an extra 2 million wounded, that's more than the entire Russian army. Sometimes you need to use your brain before saying something or believing obvious war propaganda. Or are you implying that Ukraine is losing to an army of ghosts and crippled? "1100 dead a day" - yeah, according to obvious war propaganda. If you don't know how long Russia can keep up, then consider that you have been lied to. Do you realise that Ukraine has far more losses than Russia because of Russian advantage in artillery and aviation

  77. What significant advances? Few villages of 10 houses on low ground in grey zone? How can you call it "significant" if they haven't even made if to first line of defenses?

  79.  @luiskp7173  thank you for the effort! It's always entertaining to find more nonsense about this war

  80. He was also mocking Russia in previous video and their failed attack on Vuhledar. It is true neutrality when you can criticise both sides
    5
  81. What real army? Ukraine and Russia are the only countries with experience against modern opponent. Being amazing at fighting goat farmers doesn't make your army good
    5
  82. Russian mod casualties don't include rosgvardia which technically isn't part of army. That's why there's 20% difference between mediazona numbers and Russian mod

  83. Wasn't it Ukraine that bombed civilians for almost a decade for wanting independence from Ukraine?
    5
  84.  @khumbulanindlovu3967  he talked about failed Russian attack on Ugledar the same way he talked about failed Ukrainian offensive What evil are you refering to? What exactly Russia did that Ukraine haven't in last 9 years? What Russia did that Israel or USA haven't done ?
    5
  85. Where exactly did he lied? He literally uses western media and pro Ukrainian maps to prove his point

  86.  @bonafidehater692  There's a video of Ukranian soldiers complaining about his training in NATO. He said that when he asked his German instructor "how to overcome minefields" - he replied "move around it"

  87. 1 month old bot account lol Is there a reason why Russia should have been in a hurry instead of evaporating Ukrainian elites there? Especially since because of that Russia was able to advance in Ukraine itself at record speed?

  88.  @thomasprice7893  your original comment about USA ww2 logistics was also a lie, but i didn't cared enough to talk about it, but whatever. Quote from wiki "This resulted in larger than anticipated expenditure and shortages of certain items, particularly artillery and mortar ammunition, and calls for the introduction of new model tanks and the upgrading of existing ones". Sending cola from USA to Germany isn't impressive, sending a box of cola instead of 2 artillery shells to 20 soldiers time to time also isn't impressive. But there always will be shortage here and there, it's inevitable. And USA army haven't escaped it American problems with logistics in iraq were discussed and fixed, just like problems with Russian logistics are discussed and fixed. It's not fast and not easy to deliver thousands of tons of equipment and hundreds of thousands of soldiers across 9000km long country

  89. 1) What Russian offensive? They only pushed at Vuhledar. While Wagner has nothing to do with 300k reservists 2) Well, it was indeed timit because it was only in one city 3) When it comes to pre 1990 equipment - it's almost always impossible to tell who certain piece of equipment belongs to. And even if it was true - having 3 times more equipment than your enemy means that you kill a lot more soldiers than loosing due to sheer amount of fire power 4) According to pro western novayagazeta in 2022 Russia makes 250 new tanks and upgrades 600 old tanks per year. Putin few days ago said that in 2023 Russia will make and upgrade 1500 tanks. Compare it to Ukraine receiving 200-300 tanks this year. Considering that Ukraine will be the one attacking and even if we believe 3 to 1 ratio between lost equipment - Russia will still have a huge advantage

  92. Where exactly did he lied?

  93. Don't remember the usage of millions of FPV drones in ww2. It's a war of attrition, such conflicts aren't linear. Ever heard about the battle of Verden? Frontline can barely move, but it doesn't mean that one side isn't on the brink of capitulation What's so wrong about being pro Russian, btw? Especially since Russia is here to free the Donbas, which was bombed into submission by Ukraine for over a decade now
    4
  94. So who's defeating Ukrainians now? Army of ghosts and crippled? Btw, do you realise that exaggeration of enemy casualties is the most basic propaganda for dumb people, right?

  95. Ukraine haven't made it to first line of Russian defenses, what are you on about? They're still 10-15km away from dragon teeth Not sure what reserves are you talking about. According to BBC sponsored Mediazona, which uses data from cementeries and social media, unlike some random estimations, Russia currently loosing around 50 soldiers a week According to Prigozhin thousands join Wagner every month What Russian collapse? Ukraine just sends waves of troops for small gains in greyzone while being decimated by Russian artillery and helicopters. How could Ukrainian offensive go even worse? Pls explain

  96. According to BBC sponsored Mediazona, which uses actual data from cementeries and social media, unlike random estimations, Russia lost 34k soldiers in entire war, which is 60 soldiers per day in average. For comparison, during DEFENCE of Severodonetsk, according to Zelensky himself - Ukraine was loosing 200-300 soldiers per day. So if Russia was only attacking, while Ukraine was only defending - Russia would have still lost at least 3 times less soldiers than Russia. Just because Russia has huge artillery advantage Western tanks burn as easily as Russian tanks, what are you on about? "Russia flood battlefield with cannon fodder" - after mobilizing 300k - Russia haven't attacked anywhere for a year. Those 300k "cannon fodder" are very experienced by now. Compare it to Ukraine who threw their soldiers in offensive against Russian fortifications immediately after they returned from 2 months of NATO training Notice how I haven't used a single Russian source

  97. Huh? In 2023 Russia captured Avdeevka and in the process of capturing New York, both of which were fortified with concrete bunkers since 2014. Sounds like Russia broke through the strongest Ukrainian lines of defence with relative ez How exactly was the Kharkov offensive a disaster? Ukraine threw tons of their reserves in this sector, so Russia managed to make a breakthrough in New York and take tons of land near Ocheretino. Sounds like a great diversion to me
    4
  98.  @bck481  it's a slow attritional war, is there a reason why Russia should hurry up instead of keep evaporating Ukrainian soldiers with fabs? No, Russia took Avdeevka in 5 months, seems pretty good for one of the most fortified cities in the world. And how many men Ukraine lost during the defence of Avdeevka? Huge Russian advantage in fire power has direct correlation with losses "And it was not a breakthrough" - huh? "A breakthrough occurs when an offensive force has broken or penetrated an opponent's defensive line, and rapidly exploits the gap" - that's the definition from the wiki. After the Russian breakthrough of 10 year old fortifications in Avdeevka Russia rapidly took ground. Rapidly in comparison to the usual pacing of this war or Ukrainian Robotne offensive. So how's the Russian army being humiliated? And you forgot to answer how the Russian Kharkov diversion is a failure Russian fleet can keep laughing rocket at Ukraine from anywhere, especially since Ukraine hasn't destroyed a single ship that launches rockets And everything you said about Russia later can also be applied to Ukraine, but for Ukraine it's much worse. But Russia still outproduces the entire NATO in equipment and ammo. Sounds great to me

  99. Ukraine lost 50% of their Bradleys and 20% of leopard 2. If it's a probing attack, then what is full scale offensive? Will you call any failed attack a probing attack?
    4
  100. Russia lost 36k in entire war according to BBC sponsored Mediazona, which uses actual data from cementeries and social media, unlike random estimations. Maybe you shouldn't listen to propaganda that much
    4
  101.  @notamurderer6226  I mean, we know that 80% of casualties in any war is caused by artillery aviation and other bombs. We know that Russia has huge advantage in fire power. We know that Russia was barely attacking after first 6 months of the war. We know that Russia loses tons of equipment. We know that Budanov in his interview to The Drive said that Ukraine attacking "without using any materiel" (aka human wave tactics). We know that Ukraine got encircled multiple times (Mariupol Lysychansk Severodonetsk Bahmut and Avdiivka). We know that Russia wasn't attacking with their mobilized troops for a year, unlike Ukraine that threw their best trained troops in failed counter offensive. We know that Russia has huge advantage in long range rockets and fire power Why shouldn't I believe that Russia lost a little bit more than 36k troops, since obviously not everyone is counted?

  102. Do you think Ukrainian soldiers, whom he quotes, are also lying and spreading Putin's propaganda?
    4
  103. How many Ukrainians got evaporated by fabs trying to defend less than a single percentage point of land? Taking land isn't one of the Russian goals, denazification is. And still Russia takes 4 times more land than Ukraine in their great summer offensive
    4
  104. 1) History legends isn't Russian 2) during"probing attack" Ukraine lost 15% of their leopard 2s and Bradleys and only managed to capture few villages of 10 houses on low ground in grey zone. 3) Are tou saying that leopard 2 is worse than challengers and abrams? Btw, Ukraine received 14 challengers in total and abrams haven't arrived yet. 4) "When tank gets hit - crew will be fine" - no, western tanks were destroyed in middle east by goat farmers with old RPGs. And all tank crews can survive mines 5) But no-one will replace tanks. Germany said that they will only repair them (whatever Ukraine manages to send 500km away from the frontline) 6) Do you think NATO are also tyrant scum invaders after thet sent half of middle east on fire? Have you been sending money to Syria to fight USA? 7) As a Russian i can assure you that we don't want to do anything with people who call us orcs and celebrate our soldiers deaths. And as someone who doesn't like Putin and protested against him since 2017 - I'd prefer him over any pro western scum

  105. Russia had one mobilization of 300k soldiers a year ago. Are you confusing standard yearly conscription of 18yo, which has nothing to do with Ukraine, with mobilization?
    4
  106.  @Kevlar_soul  if USA has shit loads of ammo and equipment, why aren't they sending it to Ukraine? Ukraine uses 6k shells per day, USA sends 35k per months, while making 14k months. How much ammo do you think USA has made?
    4
  107.  @carlosproano840  USA makes 14k shells per month, sends to Ukraine 35k shells per month, while Ukraine is using 6k shells per day (180k per month). For how long can USA supply them exactly? Unlike Russia, American weaponry industry is in civilian hands. Why would they start making more ammo if USA won't buy that much ammo after war ends to compensate industry's losses for expending their ammo production? It's a lot more profitable for American industry to make high tech stuff like jets, because they always need maintenance and spare parts, that's why i doubt that USA has a lot of ammo
    4
  108.  @doofyler  why do you think Russia struggles with logistics if Russia uses more shells per day than entire NATO sends to them in a month? What would you call a good logistics then? Troops are being rotated, there are many videos of soldiers coming back to home Rotating generals that aren't performing good is a good thing. Why is it bad exactly?

  111. Russia encircled Mariupol, Lysichansk, Severodonetsk, Bahmut and Avdeevka. And built a defensive line that actually works. What's your point again?
    4
  112. By "nothing of strategic significance" you mean Russia capturing the most fortified city in the world? What has strategic significance then? Nobody said that Abrams are invincible, but western media and pro Ukrainian NPCs were saying that western tanks are superior to Russian ones. They were also saying that because of that superiority - Ukrainian summer offensive will break through Russian lines with ez. So yeah, it is fun to see that western tanks are burning the day they see frontline And yeah, Russia indeed lost plenty of tanks. But, unlike Ukraine, Russia can afford it. And, unlike NATO, Russia actually makes them in large numbers
    4
  113. Russia doesn't really try to gain ground, they haven't announced big arrow offensives and we're totally ok with losing ground to save soldiers before. But Russia gaining more ground than Ukraine, despite big Ukrainian offensive is telling. Russia loses a lot of equipment because they can afford losing a lot of equipment, unlike Ukraine which flies on NATO supplies. And considering that Russia lost more equipment than richest EU countries have in total - west is unable to make Ukraine less terribly outgunned "All Ukraine must do is not attack" - no, Russia can afford not attacking because gaining ground isn't their goal. Ukraine is the one that wants to restore 1991 borders. The only reason why Ukraine stopped attacking - they run out of equipment and running out of soldiers "Russia is at it's top production" - how do you know? It's only been 2 years According to Mediazona, on average Russia loses 60-70 soldiers dead per day, including prisoners and PMCs Russia indeed started using a lot less shells, but it's still a lot more than entire NATO can produce. Entire EU barely manages to scramble 300k shells, tho they planned to give Ukraine 1 million Ukraine haven't destroyed a single Russian rocket ship. Just because they destroy some landing boat time to time - doesn't mean anything and doesn't reduce Russian abilities of bombing Ukraine. Russia also captured or destroyed 100% of Ukrainian fleet, so what? You can say that "Russia losing this and that" all you want. But the question is - can Ukraine outgun Russia? When Russia loses 50 tanks - it sucks obviously, but they can make new ones. When Ukraine loses 50 leopard 2 - will they receive another 50 ? Will they receive them before losing remaining 50? And it's not even a question of NATO's will, it's about NATO military production, which is dwarfed by Russian production. What capabilities Ukraine need, which they didn't had last summer, to overcome Russian defenses? Will they get it? Because if they won't get it - they will lose

  115.  @TTTT-oc4eb  100k dead and wounded despite Wagner having 50k soldiers in total? Is is some kind of GoT army of the dead reference ? Also Bahmut was defended by more troops and equipment than entire UK has. Should i also mention that it's one of the most fortified cities in the world?
    4
  116. Well, Ukraine can't win on the battlefield. So either wait for Russia to collapse, for aliens to invade earth, some miracle etc - or they give up on regions that don't want to be Ukrainian anyway. Every war ends with negotiation, why should this war be different?
    4
  117. Russia wasn't the one that got encircled in Mariupol Lysichansk Severodonetsk Bahmut and Avdeevka. Also, Russia isn't the one that sent their soldiers to a certain death in Belgorod, Krinky or recently Crimea. Overall, Russia is much more careful with their soldiers, than Ukraine
    4
  118.  @limedickandrew6016  well, it is logical that Russia lost more tanks because they indeed have more tanks For example in Vietnam war - USA lost 10000 planes and helicopters compared to 200 of North Vietnam. It happened simply because USA had far larger air force
    4
  119. "most of the world's population" - interesting. China and India are half of the world's population, plus Africa is also on the Russian side. And Brazil is part of the BRICS. Have you confused EU and USA with the whole world?

  121.  @radekcuhel670  Russia hasn't mobilized anyone in 2 years. If you're talking about 130k men - they're part of standard Russian yearly conscription of 18yo which has nothing to do with Ukraine. Even during wartime Russia still gives training to 130k young men every year without sending them to fight

So Russia is losing 50-60 soldiers per day. Compare it to Ukraine loosing 200-300 dead in DEFENCE of Severodonetsk according to Zelensky himself. So even if Ukraine was just sitting in defence and did nothing - they would have lost at least 110k dead according to president of Ukraine

  127. Mariupol Lysichansk Severodonetsk Bahmut Avdeevka Ugledar Soledar Kurahovo and now Velika Novosilka. Each time (apart from Mariupol) Ukrainian commanders haven't allowed their soldiers to retreat until the last remaining supplied dirt road was under the direction of Russian fire control Btw, do you realise he's quoting western media and Ukrainian soldiers?

  130. Where exactly did he lied? Last remaining road in Bahmut is shelled into oblivion, there are plenty of videos on Russian tg channels about them destroying columns of Ukranian soldiers and vehicles. Bahmut is surrounded from 3 sides, sending reinforcements and ammo to remaining defenders is extremely costly. And Wagner still gaining ground there, despite Ukraine concentrating 60k soldiers there. Also according to Prigozhin - wagner uses 10k shells per day, compared to 3-5k of entire Ukraine. Guess who's loosing more soldiers

  138. It's not Russia that's kidnapping people off streets to throw into military, it's not Russia wants to mobilise women, it's not Russia that begs western countries to return their citizens back to Ukraine to throw into military, it's not Russia who's existence solely relies on money and weapons from their allies and it's not Russian allies who admitted to completely run out of artillery shells. So how is Russia fucked? Especially considering that Ukrainian offensive failed and everyone can see that Ukraine is physically unable to restore 1991 borders

  139.  @thexperimenter88  how exactly could Russia lost more if they used DNR, LNR and wagner to do the heavy lifting while mostly spamming artillery?
    3
  140. There's a neat trick called lying. Exaggeration of enemy casualties is the most basic propaganda imaginable And if having spies and satellites is all you need to get such information, then is there a reason why the USA, UK, Germany etc aren't disclosing the amount of civilian casualties in Gaza and aren't condemning Israel for it? Because I see plenty of people who said that Palestinian data isn't reliable enough, but there's no "reliable" data from other sources

  141.  @r3dpowel796  gaining ground in greyzone and capturing few villages with 5 shacks inside them is a lot less impressive than capturing one of the most fortified cities in the world, while using ex prisoners against NATO trained troops
    3
  142.  @PresidentMobsterBonespurs  indeed. But you're acting like they actually tried to take some big chunks of land across the frontline like Ukraine is trying and failing now. In winter Russia mostly built defenses, while sending Wagner to take Bahmut and made an attempt to take Vuhledar. One success and one failure. But there was never "winter offensive", Russia never called if this way and never promised to make big gains Which is logical, considering that they were still training mobilized troops and were already building defenses (preparing for Ukrainian attack). There was no reason to push far behind dragon teeth also
    3
  143. Russia lost 4k soldiers in entire Ukrainian offensive in entire front. How many do you think Ukraine has lost? They should have pushed black sea fleet further away long time ago tbf. And it's still not gonna stop them from firing to Ukraine, so what's the problem? Putin never gave an order to stop offensive by October or anything like that, you're making shit up "Slow Ukrainian advances" - capturing a field and suffering hundreds of losses for it isn't big deal and isn't a good thing to do. Ukraine just keeps exchanging their soldiers for Russian bullets. Especially since even Budanov admitted that Ukraine is doing human wave tactics "Ukraine destroys russian ammo depots and comman centers" - Russia also destroying same targets but to far larger extent since they have larger range and loads of fab500 bombs "Russia has lost planes on it's own territory" - pretty much all lost planes on both sides were lost in their home territory because of air defences, drones and rockets. You either said complete nonsense or stated standard thing in any war and called it a fail

  145. @Erwin_von_Krazer  The same dynasty (Rurickovich), which ruled Novgorod and captured Kiev - later called themselves Tsars of all of Russia. For example Ivan the Terrible. Their dynasty was wiped out and replaced by the Romanov dynasty after the smuta in the 1600s. The same dynasty ruled Russia until communist revolution And yes, Kiev was the Russian capital after Novgorod captured it. Also Russian capitals were Ladoga, Novgorod, Kiev, Vladimir, Moscow and San Petersburg. It doesn't matter what the "center of Russia" was. It's about dynasties that ruled those lands.

  146. 16k Russian soldiers, tho they all have been in tanks and armoured vehicles? According to who? Ukrainian propaganda?

  147.  @thorn6809  you do realise that Russia had around 40k soldiers around Kiev? So by your numbers - all of soldiers should be either wounded or killed and 5k armoured vehicles and tanks should have been destroyed in this region alone So who stated that Russia lost 16k dead around kiev?
    3
  148. ​ @andrisgulbis9677 Prigozhin also said that the Surovikin line was built to trap Wagner in Bahmut. He said many things to trash Russian MOD. Btw, do you think the Ukrainian army is dying much faster than Russian, considering that Russia sustains it's army by only volunteers, while Ukraine wants extra 500k soldiers, despite kidnapping people off streets to throw into military for two years?

  149. Where's he wrong exactly? And where exactly did Ukraine "kick Russia's arse" ? Ukraine is losing ground on every front

  150. Well, considering that Ukraine wanted to make a fast push, but lost 15% of their leopards and Bradleys while capturing few villages of 10 houses on low ground in grey zone - Ukraine got smashed pretty hard

  151. Have you compared a few pieces of equipment in Crimea with hundreds of km of land and a hundred Ukrainian POWs in Kharkov? I'm curious, if it was Ukraine that took a large chunk of Russian held land, would you also brag about Russia blowing up some Ukrainian base in the meantime? And what does it have to do with Sun Tzu? Are you implying that Ukraine hasn't built their fortifications and let Russia take tons of Ukrainian soldiers as POWs on top of letting them capture a huge chunk of land, to hit a base in Crimea, which was already hit before? Truly amazing tactical genius, I see
    3
  152. There's zero evidence that Russia lost 5 planes. Both sides exaggerating or completely making up enemy losses every day How exactly Ukraine destroying Russian transport ship affect this conflict? Ukraine haven't destroyed a single ship that carries rockets that bomb Ukraine every day So Russia is pushing on all fronts, Ukrainian parliament already wants to mobilise women and 500k extra soldiers, despite kidnapping people off streets to throw into military for past 2 years. And as an answer Ukraine blew up 40yo transport ship and most likely lied about Russia losing jets? The only victory Ukraine is achieving is PR victory. Every time Ukraine is losing - they're blowing up Kerch bridge, sending drones on Kremlin roof or sending suicide squads in Belgorod/Crimea/Krinky. And none of that is useful for them "Wait till they get f16" - how exactly few dozens of 50yo planes will affect this war? Especially since Ukraine had hundreds of planes when war started. They won't even give them new capabilities like himars or stormshadow did. How many "wonder weapons" Russia should destroy before you admit the inevitable?

Because you base your opinion on one pro Ukrainian map which has always downplayed Russian gains and gave extra land for Ukraine. Same liveuamap shows that Robotne in Zaporozhye is in ukrainian hands, tho no-one reported anything about it, other than Ukraine attacking it and failing. Just because your propaganda map paints something as greyzone or as Ukrainian land - doesn't make it's true. In reality Ukraine haven't regained control over any village in that bridgehead

  155.  @johnparker8509  everything you said about Russian artillery can be said about Ukraine too. The difference is - Russia can repair everything right on Russian border in the east where nothing can hit it, while Ukraine has to send everything to Poland and Germany "Russia doesn't have mechanics or replacement barrels" - so you're saying that country that has more artillery than entire NATO and is second biggest weaponry exporter in the world doesn't have spare parts? You're delusional Russia still has more artillery than entire NATO. They won't run out of artillery before Ukraine, what are you on about ? Russia also has Himars analogues with more rockets and the same range, like tornado s or smerch. And tons of missiles with far better range than himars like Iskander, kinzjal or kalibr

  166. @Greatgreyowl101  he calls this this an smo because he hasn't started the war, but got into already ongoing civil war. It doesn't break any laws It also doesn't break Budapest memorandum because according to it Ukraine should have remained sovereign and independent, but they lost sovereignty in 2014 coup "September is the worst month for Russia" - according to who? Because according to mediazona Russia is losing around 2-3k soldiers per month, not per day. And they have actual data, unlike random propaganda "Ordering them into the killzone" - how exactly the Russian offensive operation is different from the Ukrainian one ? In order to attack you have to send troops to the "killzone" which your enemy prepared for you. Fortunately for the Russians - Russia has loads of artillery and bombs to devastate Ukrainian positions and enough tanks/BMPs to make their soldiers less vulnerable to enemy fire. Any attack can fail, but it doesn't mean that Russia doesn't do everything to protect their soldiers Are you denying the fact that in 2014 Russia could easily storm Ukraine, considering that Ukraine barely had an army back in the days?

  167.  @robertkuuba  problem with soviet era equipment is that it's impossible to determine who it belongs to in most of the cases. So there's zero evidence that Russia lost more equipment defending, than Ukraine lost attacking, but there's evidence that a lot of soviet equipment was lost

    3
  170. According to mediazona, Russia lost 44k soldiers in the entire war, including PMCs and prisoners, which is 70 soldiers per day. And unlike random propaganda, mediazona actually had data behind their claims. Btw, how many do you think Ukraine has lost, considering how terribly outgunned they are. And considering that during the defence of Severodonetsk Zelensky admitted that Ukraine was losing 200 soldiers dead per day.

  172. So 700k dead and wounded in total? Russia had 150k at the start, mobilized another 300k and maybe had another 100k volunteers. Who's holding the frontline? Army of ghosts? And not a single Russian official ever stated that Ukraine will fall in 3 days or gave any number of days to capture certain part of land It's amazing how people believe in most obvious war propaganda (calculations of enemy losses) and imagining enemy goals to celebrate when nothing happens
    3
  173. Any slow grind benefits Russia greatly because they have overwhelming artillery and aviation advantage. Obviously not every time small groups of attacking Ukrainians will get hit and obviously no-one will spam Ukrainian troops with artillery when they're next to Russian trenches. But when Russia makes small gain - they're a lot less likely to get bombed than Ukrainians. Trench is the best way to protect soldiers from explosions. Very few people are actually sitting in trenches on the frontline, mostly those are small groups who's job is to spot enemy, hit them with RPG and leave or wait for reinforcements. Quick modern warfare isn't working against dug in enemies with similar capabilities. NATO doctrine is only good against goat farmers "Recovery personnel easily secures damaged vehicles" - do you remember that famous picture with leopard and Bradleys around it? Ukraine tried to recover it and Russia also used that leopard as bait and more destroyed equipment was filmed in the same area. Doing such things is a common thing for both sides. Sometimes when certain piece of equipment can't be recovered or there's concern about enemy recovering it - both sides shooting their own abandoned equipment with artillery and drones Ukrainian troops have a lot less training than Russians troops because all Russians went through at least one year of training when they were 18 Attacker can have some sort of advantage. But there's a reason why Ukrainian blitzkrieg failed, despite NATO training, NATO equipment, NATO intelligence and NATO planning. What can you do if there were 3 guys in a bush with RPG and they destroyed your mine clearing tank? What will you do if second mine clearing tank was hit by helicopter? What if last vehicle in column was hit by artillery? No-one yet figured out how to fight modern wars against modern opponent more effectively than trench by trench
    3
  174. At what point will you start questioning Ukrainian propaganda? If Russia recruits much less soldiers than they lose, shouldn't Ukraine have an advantage in manpower? How can Russia advance at record speed? How can Russia have no troubles with manpower? Don't worry, Ukraine will draw even bigger numbers for Russian casualties in the future. The worse Ukraine does on the battlefield - the larger the number of Russian casualties Ukrainian creates out of thin air

  177. Speed of advancement is irrelevant in wars of attrition. If that wasn't the case - we would have still fought in ww1 How would you call a country, which outproduces the largest military alliance on earth and grows its economy despite 28k sanctions, if not the superpower?

  178. I mean, he's less biased than the other Ukrainian war channels, since he's talking about both Ukrainian and Russian failures a lot What channels are you watching? I'm just curious if they also denied Ukrainian atrocities like bombing of Belgorod. Or if they mentioned Ukrainian rockets hitting Kramatorsk train station and Konstantinivka street. Btw, what exactly Russia did in Ukraine that Ukraine hasn't done in Donbas since 2014?
    3
  179. Tiny village of Robotne lasted more than Mariupol and 8000 best Ukrainian troops. I'd call it a failure indeed

  180. Russia is paying their soldiers well, spends loads of equipment to keep them safe and spends days and weeks to bombard Ukrainian positions before sending their guys in. Seems like Russia cares about their soldiers a lot

  181. ​ @HauntzTV he's literally quoting western media and Ukrainian soldiers. Where exactly did he lie?
    3
  182. Hmmmm. How else would you attack across a potential minefield other than with a tank with anti mine rollers? Those fancy pieces of equipment that blow up a 100m long path in front of them aren't that effective, stationary and more vulnerable to drones than tanks btw. Is there a particular reason why pro Ukrainian NPCs call everything a "meat wave" ? It's a single tank with specialized anti mine equipment, it's literally the opposite of a massive infantry assault

  183. Where exactly did he lied?

  184. Azov did well, Russian commanders didn't do well. The Russian negotiation team also did a poor job by letting Ukraine take those nazis from Russian prisons

  185. Ukrainians aren't "willing to die", they're being kidnapped from streets to be thrown on the frontline few days later There would be no war now if Ukraine haven't bombed civilians for 8 years, while testing Putin's patience

  186. As a Russian I'm actually surprised to hear about famine here. I should tell everyone asap

  187. Do you wanna join the Ukrainian army and prove your point?

  188. "meanwhile Moscow is getting bombed" - by few drones that missed their targets, while Ukraine is getting destroyed by Russian rockets. Why are you so surprised that people bomb each other during war?
    3
  189. Have you lived in a bunker while Ukraine was killing civilians since 2014? Russia isn't "stealing babies". They evacuated kids from warzone and parents agreed to it. There's not a single video of some mother screaming "don't take my baby" to Russian soldiers. So you either lying on purpose or dumb enough to believe blatant western propaganda I don't see how Russia or China collapsing. But I see how entire NATO is running out of equipment to send to Ukraine. Even Biden admitted that USA run out of 155mm shells and had to send cluster ammo because there's nothing else to send. Damn, they even ask 70yo retired engineers to show younger engineers how to make stingers for Ukraine. USA also plans to buy hawk anti air systems from Taiwan, tho even they stopped using it decades ago. That's how desperate NATO is Btw, about "civilized world" - where are you from? I'm just curious how many middle eastern countries your country bombed in your life time

  190. Russia doesn't have nazi ideology and doesn't treat nazi collaborators as heroes. Unlike Ukraine, which names streets in "honour" of Bandera and Shuhevich
    3
  191. Is there a single Ukrainian soldier who said that there are no manpower shortages in some interview with western media? A single one ? Cos they cry a lot about lacking manpower, about units being torn apart about having no rotation etc. Why would they cannibalise 155tg brigade over and over if they have no shortages?
    3
  192. Less than 100k dead according to mediazona. And far less casualties than Ukraine 700 fled and according to Bloomberg - half of them already came back. For comparison, Ukraine lost 15-20 million people in 10 years There's zero evidence that a single North Korean reached the frontline or even crossed Ural mountains. But there's nothing wrong with providing allies with valuable experience in modern warfare. Ukraine was also using mercs since day 1 Finland and Sweden combined have less people than live in Moscow. Tiny civilized countries joining NATO isn't the problem, but 40m potential nazis joining NATO is a problem. Poland can do whatever they want, they're far away from Russia Ruble barely changed in a year So everything you mentioned either has nothing to do with the war, a blatant lie or a half truth, which is far far worse for Ukraine.

  194.  @zaplakailol  Ой, не знал, что история и само понятие времени 24 февраля в 4 утра зародились. Никто Донецк не бомбил? Никто в Крым воду не перекрывал? Никто на площадях не скакал под крики "москоляку на гиляку"? Минские соглашения никто не нарушал? Зеленский на мюнхенской конференции не угрожал ядерное оружие построить? Может если бы Украина отстала от Крыма с Донбассом, то ничего бы этого не было? Ну и да, откуда ты инфу про сотни тысяч взял? Как вообще можно верить словам страны во время войны о потерях противника? Согласно данным запрещённой в РФ медиазоне, спонсируемой ВВС, которая берет данные с кладбищ и соц сетей (в отличие от рандомных оценок) - РФ потеряла 34к солдат, включая Вагнер и заключённых (50-60 человек в день). При этом по словам Зеленского во время обороны Северодонецка - в Украине в день погибает 200-300 солдат. То есть минимум 110к если Украина только сидела в обороне и не пыталась наступать. Решение воевать с РФ принял Зеленский и он в ответе за сотни тысяч мертвых украинских военных и за разрушенную экономику

  195. What you described is a definition of combined arms warfare. But you forgot to mention days and weeks of bombardment of Ukrainian positions before sending in BMPs, many days of bombing after failing attack and dozens and dozens of Ukrainians who were buried there under Russian artillery in top of God knows how many Ukrainians who tried to reinforce them and also died due to drones, artillery and mines. Ukrainian base inside nearest city, that got exposed and destroyed, because they sent reinforcements to that "house" also deserves a honourable mention

  196. Who are you talking about exactly?
    3
  197.  @jackneuman5108  1)Any country at war is loosing civil rights. Ukrainian man aren't even allowed to leave their country 2) Every country is corrupt, in west it's just called lobbying 3) You don't know what facsism is. Super presidential republic isn't facsism 4) After war started nothing has changed for Russians. Economy is doing ok and even western leaders admitted that Russia withstood sanctions 5) West also has crappy demographics, ESP Ukraine, since now they ask 2 million woman to return to Ukraine to increase GDP and birthrate. But last year Russia gained few million people in their new regions. That's one way to fix demographic issues 6) It's better to let mercs shoot few planes and let them go, than starting a fight and loosing thousands for no reason 7) All kids in Russian schools for the last hundred years were taught some military skills, like making AK or throwing fake grenades for example. Do you think army recruiters in American schools are also indoctrinating "Hitler youths"? 8) Putin haven't attacked a single country that wasn't bombing civilians at Russian borders. So if "Kazakhstan, wherever" not gonna start killing Russians - Russia won't invade them. Simple as that 9) What middle age mentality made NATO invade half of middle east? Or help Nazis in Ukraine? Or help terrorists in Afghanistan in 80s? Or invade Vietnam? 10) Invasion has nothing to do with imperialistic propaganda. Ukraine dammed the river to Crimea that supplies 80% of freshwater to the region, deliberately starving 2 million people. Zelensky threatened to build nukes on Munich conference. Ukraine kept bombing Donbas civilians despite Minsk agreement. And also Angela Merkel, Hollande, Poroshenko and Zelensky all admitted that Minsk agreement was made to rearm Ukraine for future wars, instead of stopping the war in Donbas. If Ukraine did nothing wrong - there would be no war now 11) "country that hates you and that you will never be able to conquer" - world has short memory, Germany was invited in NATO 10 years after starting bloodiest war in history. So yeah, after war is over - no-one will care about Russia gaining new regions

  198. Where exactly did he lied?

  199. "poor morale" - based on what? On fake "intercepted calls"? I'm curious, if there was a channel with "Ukrainian intercepted calls" would you also believe them saying "Mykola, i lost my swastika today when i was running away from ukrainian troops, would you give me yours when you finish bombing civilians" and use such channel as prove for anything? Russia using old tanks as artillery because t62 and t55 use different kind of ammo than t72 and newer tanks. So Russians don't need to worry about lack of tank rounds or damaged barrels on their actual tanks when Ukraine decides to push. "Modern countries would never do this" - they were literally sending t55 and leopards 1 which are only 7 years newer than t55. So what's your point again? There's a video of Russian t72 testing those concrete pyramids and they aren't crushing, but stopping tanks. Obviously such defense, just like any other, can be disrupted, but it takes time to do it while being on the same position and Russians can always drop mines in the same choke point Trenches aren't zigzags indeed, but it's easy for individual soldiers to dig their own holes to be safer. It's not Maginot Line, but still a lot better than whatever Russians had at Kherson where they stopped Ukrainian advances
    3
  200. "Quickly encircle" 8 years old fortifications guarded by 50k soldiers? Do you also think that Hitler should have blitzkrieg through Maginot Line and trapped French army there instead of going around through Belgium? Wasting ammo is better than wasting soldiers. And considering amount of destroyed equipment around Bahmut - this shelling is working
    3
  201.  @victorpetchenev4119  Осенью 2022 Украина уже пол года проводила мобилизацию, когда Россия пыталась воевать только конкрактниками. С тех пор Украина не нанесла ни одного стратегического поражения России и не взяла ни одного города
    3
  202. 100 vehicles according to who? Ukrainian war propaganda? Because there are proof of like 20 damaged or destroyed vehicles. And now Russia had the high ground. If Ukraine did the same thing - every pro Ukrainian NPC would already scream how encircled Russia is
    3
  203.  @Marrothefirst  being unbiased and supporting Ukraine are 2 different things
    3
  204. So have you seen 800 bodies? No? So why would you believe such blatant propaganda? There's footage of Ukraine hitting and missing like 20 guys, that's about it "Ukrainians decided to retreat" - ah, yes, it's just a coincidence that at the same time Russia attacked at 6 different directions and used the pipeline. Sure mate. Russian propaganda about 63k KiA is as dumb as "pipeline group was destroyed", but you believe that nonsense anyway

  205. Ukraine still holding Ugledar despite losing many more lives is even dumber

  206. ​ @mariuszcieslak3667  1 dollar was 105 yen in 2014 to 150 yen in 2024. 1 dollar was 70 rubles in 2014 to 100 in 2024. Same thing basically It's not that hard to manipulate data and use the highest/lowest year depending on what you want to prove
    3
  207. According to mediazona, which uses actual data, unlike random propaganda, Russia lost 44k dead in the entire war. Including PMCs and Wagner Russia took Avdeevka in a few weeks. Or you count 2 years of artillery bombardment?
    3
  208.  @sinistergr  wdym confirmed? You don't need a body to call someone dead. But yeah, there's a small time lag since obviously, so you can add a few percents Prigozhin could have said anything to trash talk Russian mod. He also said that Surovikin like was built to trap Wagner in Bahmut and that Ukraine lost 5 times more soldiers than Wagner. You need to learn the difference between reality and propaganda
    3
  209. "only an idiot would do an all out attack" that's exactly what Ukraine did at the start - they sent columns of leopards and Bradleys, tried again and against for almost a week and then get back to meat attacks with little equipment. And they already lost half of Bradleys they had. And 20% of leopard 2
    3
  210. In previous video he said that he has eye infection
    3
  211. According to BBC sponsored Mediazona, which uses actual data from cementeries and social media, unlike random estimations, Russia lost 4k soldiers in entire Ukrainian offensive in entire line of contact. Doesn't look atrocious to me. How many do you think Ukraine has lost during their human wave attacks across minefields against overwhelming artillery and aviation on deeply entrenched Russians?
    3
  212.  @ugvadugvaw  so your evidence is Kim visiting Russia? Russia and North Korea visit each other every few years. Who was begging who im 2011 when Kim visited Russia, for example? Pro Ukrainian NPCs base their entire world of view on nothing but assumptions While USA officially had to take ammunition from South Korea, Israel and Japan. If American army is "so mighty and so rich, why does Biden beg those countries for help"? Stop acting retarded please
    3
  213.  @ravenblood1954  if you goole "how many shells Russia fires per day" - you will see sources saying that they're fighting 40-60k per day Ukraine has himars, Russia has tornado s and smerch with the same range and more rockets, but also iskander, kinzjal and kalibr with far better range. Also Russian mod reporting dozens or destroyed ammo depots and concentration of Ukrainian forces daily all over Ukraine. Of course Ukraine will strike important targets too, but Russia does the same a lot more Everyone admits that Ukraine has 5-8 times more men than Russia everywhre they attack. It's not hard to gain land in places with little to no enemies. Russia captured territory comparable to great Britain in first few days for that exact reason. And in last 6 months Russia wasn't actively trying to get more land, they were just dealing damage Ukraine did gained loads of land, but can they continue when Russia brings like 4 times more troops to the frontline than they currently have? In last month they lost more tanks and armoured vehicles than they received from NATO since war started. Temporary gains after bold pushes aren't always good. Have you forgotten about Russia's offensive on Kiev in first days of war?
    3
  214.  @ravenblood1954  because for every entrenched and well defended tank position Russia has - there's 10km of open fields with no soldiers at all. So if you simply send 40 trucks behind Russian troops, 10 of trucks are destroyed due to Russian artillery - Russian tanks still have to fall back to not get encircled. 300 troops needed to fill the gaps. Why are you typing "xD"? Where exactly my logic is lacking? With what statement you disagree?
    3
  215. Russia never had winter offensive. Did your propaganda imagined Russian goal and celebrated when nothing happened?
    3
  216. When did Russia stated that they lost 500 dead in 2 days?

  217. Russia has more t90 than Ukraine had tanks in general. What are you on about?

  218. Повёрнутые на Z войне Kotsnews Старше Эдды Rybar Greyzone Those are some popular pro Russian tg channels that post war footage, talk about war, criticise Russian mod or brag about their achievements

    3
  220. I mean, he knows that Ukraine is terribly outgunned everywhere and getting encircled in city where best Ukrainian troops are stationed. Isn't it "doom"?
    3
  221. Ukrainian soldiers received training by NATO instructors since 2015. There are also plenty of NATO instructors in Ukraine right now, but Ukrainians in Ukraine only receive few weeks of training. Compare it to Russians who received 1 year of training when they were 18yo and months of extra training before being sent to the front How do you know that Russia is losing more soldiers than Ukraine? Especially since Russia has huge advantage in artillery, tanks, aviation and bombs During mobilization regions with more population sent far more soldiers than lesser populated regions because it's all about percentage of population. So among mobilized troops - there are far more people from Moscow than from other regions. But obviously more people from poorer regions volunteered for money, same goes for every country on earth. You can look up statistics on US army and where they come from, southern republican regions join army far more than other states. Do you also think that American politicians are using republicans as meat?

  222. ​ @Boom.Desjardins  the same is happening under pro Ukrainian videos. But for some reason none of you guys can explain where HS is wrong
    2
  223. @Boom.Desjardins  according to some media - Russia has 8k desertion cases, which is 12 times less than Ukraine. Russian army has many problems, but Ukrainian situation is much worse. Russian oil refineries are perfectly fine, it doesn't matter if a few barrels of oil will burn And why do you think that Russian air defences are bad? They're the best in the world by a long shot, but it's impossible to intercept 100% of targets, especially without closing the airspace Well, in November 2024 Russia took 4 times more ground than in entire 2023. That's 48 times acceleration. If losing ground 48 times faster than a year before isn't a collapse, then I don't know what is
    2
  224. @Boom.Desjardins  no, I meant BBC sponsored mediazona, according to their data there are less than 10k cases of desertion. If you have better data - feel free to share it "A country who bans all foreign media" - I guess you forgot that that Russia haven't banned anything until RT was banned in many countries and until western social media banned Russian sources and bloggers on YouTube, Facebook and twitter. Russia has BRICS with combined GDP larger than G7. They befriend China, India and Africa, which are 3/4 of world's population too. But yeah, I'd rather have a few weird true friends than a bunch of fake friends which will boss me around, blackmail me or tell me how I can or cannot defend myself. "x48 isn't much" - yeah, but it's acceleration. Wars aren't linear. The worse the situation for your opponent - the faster you move, the closer you are to favourable negotiations and achievement of your goals. Those villages and empty fields cost Ukraine far more than they cost Russia due to the huge Russian advantage in fire power. They were defended by the strongest army in Europe, armed by millions of drones and largest military alliance on earth. And yet Russia is accelerating and inflicting so many casualties that Ukraine can't even replace their losses despite snatching people off streets. Ukraine also has the best NATO air defence systems, but Russia is still bombing Ukraine like it's nothing. It's physically impossible to intercept 100% of targets, especially when you aren't closing the skies. What should happen for you to say that the Russian air defence systems are the best? What evidence do you need? Who's systems are the best of you disagree with me? How did you determine it? It's not the refinery that is burning, but 2 barrels of oil. It's annoying, but it's basically nothing for one of the largest oil producers in the world
    2
  225. Can you explain the difference between Russian and Ukrainian tactics without using propaganda words like "meat waves, no matter the losses, zombie rush etc" ? Because both sides use the same small groups tactics since they're hard to spot. But, unlike Ukraine, Russia has plenty of tanks and artillery shells to support them You shouldn't believe anyone without evidence when it comes to wars. Especially if you want something to be true.
    2
  226. Less civilians died in Ukraine in 2 years than in Gaza in 1 month. Wanna compare Jews to nazis too? Btw, war in Ukraine is one of the rare wars with more military casualties than civilian ones, look at Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and any NATO invasion in general
    2
  227.  @zendhalblacksoul6819  this would end the world tomorrow
    2
  228. Maybe because Ukraine was kidnapping people off streets to throw them into the military for 2 years, while emptying inventories of strongest alliance of earth? And it's not like Russia cared about gaining land, at least for now. In those 2 years Russia was expanding production to outnumber Ukraine in drones, ammo and bombs. That's why after 2 years of neverending mobilization - Ukraine still struggles to get manpower And what massive casualties? According to mediazona Russia lost 50k in entire war. So around 22k a year. For comparison, in 2011 Russia lost 28k in car crushes
    2
  229.  @stunningride6073  Ukraine has a lot more soldiers than Russia, it takes time In artillery accuracy is dependent on guided shell. For koalitsya Russia uses krasnopol with accuracy 2-3m. And for smerch and tornado s Russia uses 9m542 with accuracy 7m. Can't send links unfortunately, yt deleted my comment multiple times
    2
  230.  @evanburgess8428  "quality of manufacturing and skill of operator is high up there" - its not something you can measure, that's why you're using it as an argument. Do you have anything to back up your claim? You're also calling me biased while repeating western propaganda about Russian losses. Let's use Ukrainian/western sources and logic then: Russia outnumberes Ukraine in artillery 15 to 1 (according to Ukrainian officials), Russia firing 60k shells compared to 6k of Ukraine (according to Pentagon), Russia does 200-300 sorties a day compared to 2-3 sorties of Ukraine (according to Pentagon), according to Washington post and their interview with Ukranian soldiers from Kherson offensive Russia looses 1 for every 5 Ukrainians and 80% of casualties in any war are caused by artillery and other bombs. So logic says that Russia looses 5-15 times less than Ukraine. If you believe that Russia lost 60k - Ukraine lost 600k, but it sounds stupid. So Russian official losses about 12-15k total (including DNR LNR and Wagner) sounds logical to me Not a single NATO missile is as fast as kinjal. If you send something in space - its a lot easier to notice and hit for your enemy. While kinjal can fly really low and not a single current air defence can hit it. Russia only used it in Ukraine few times to hit some command centers i guess. It's fast and cannot be hit, pretty useful
    2
  231. He was also mocking Russia during Ukrainian Kharkiv offensive or in previous video about Vuhledar. Mocking everyone is true neutrality. And it's not his fault that Ukraine constantly gets encircled despite Russia pushing as fast as slow
    2
  232. To be fair Russia is very slow in adapting to Ukrainian strikes. They haven't protected their planes with some concrete bunkers, haven't protected refineries properly and still keeping ships in Crimea. For some reason they still don't consider Ukrainian strikes a big threat, tho they definitely are a threat
    2
  233. You can look at mediazona and see that Russia is losing around 70-80 people dead per day, despite fighting in Avdeevka. Btw, according to Zelensky himself during defence of Severodonetsk - Ukraine was losing 200 soldiers dead per day. How many do you think Ukraine is losing now?
    2
  234. Low IQ

  235. ​ @ginopav7712  liking your own comments? Are you starving for approval that much? Pathetic
    2
  236. Ukraine has only 14 of them, it's a first challenger destroyed in a battle and this challenger was used by Ukrainian reserves. Pretty significant I'd say
    2
  237. There are two countries with experience against modern opponents, one of them is Russia, the other one isn't the USA. So Russia has much better trained troops because they actually know what the war is. Just because you're amazing at fighting killing goat farmers - doesn't mean you're a good fighter. Making weapons isn't that expensive if your military industry belongs to the government. For example it is reported that standard Russian 152mm artillery shells cost 400 dollars, while standard western 155mm shells cost 8000 dollars. Same goes for any piece of equipment How many westerns will be willing to join the army and fight for the other country far away from their borders in a real war (not against goat farmers on toyotas) ?
    2
  238. So western media are fake?
    2
  239. 1000 according to who? Ukrainian war propaganda? In entire war Russia lost 36k troops according to BBC sponsored Mediazona, which uses actual data from cementeries and social media, unlike random estimations. And how many soldiers do you think Ukraine is losing due to heavy Russian bombardment?
    2
  240. ​ @Sander-cu4ns  nonsense. It wasn't even the case for ww1. Especially it's not the case for slow pacing conflicts where the attacker has a huge advantage in fire power
    2
  241.  @jonathandavx  former NATO soldiers + Ukrainian soldiers with NATO training (since 2014), NATO tactics, intelligence, equipment, weapons and money. Russia is fighting NATO without planes
    2
  242. What record numbers? According to mediazona - this entire year Russia was losing 60-70 soldiers per day, including PMCs and prisoners. Their record numbers were during Bahmut operation with 120kia per day. Who told you this nonsense?
    2
  243. According to BBC sponsored Mediazona, which uses ACTUAL data from cementeries and social media unlike random estimations, Russia lost 39k in entire war. Other estimations are nothing but standard war propaganda. It's the most obvious way of lying during war - exaggerating enemy casualties. How can Russia possibly lose more soldiers than Ukraine, considering that Russia has equal or superior analogues of Ukrainian equipment, but in far larger quantities. And according to some western media - Russia now has 7 times more drones than Ukraine, which was the only Ukrainian advantage
    2
  244. It's impossible to "starve" Russia troops across the Kherson, because pontoon ferries exist
    2
  245.  @ugvadugvaw  There's zero evidence that Putin wants to buy weapons from North Korea. All western propaganda has is officials visiting each other time to time, tho they have been doing it for decades. And if Putin wants to buy weapons from North Korea - what's so wrong about it? USA took their ammunition from Israel and bought south Korean ammo too. Did you ever said Biden is "begging" south Korea and Israel for help? Does it "saying something" to you?
    2
  246. According to mediazona Russia lost 43k in entire war. And currently they're losing 70-80 soldiers per day in entire front. Doesn't sound that catastrophic. For comparison, according to Zelensky, during defence of Severodonetsk Ukraine was losing 200 soldiers dead per day

  247. ​ @loonowolf2160  his account is 3 times older than yours btw

  248. Ukraine dammed the river to Crimea that supplies 80% of freshwater to the region, deliberately starving 2 million people. Zelensky threatened to build nukes on Munich conference. Ukraine kept bombing Donbas civilians despite Minsk agreement. And also Angela Merkel, Hollande, Poroshenko and Zelensky all admitted that Minsk agreement was made to rearm Ukraine for future wars, instead of stopping the war in Donbas. So why should anyone support Ukraine? It's started when NATO backed billionaires and nazis overthrew democratically elected government, which pissed off eastern Ukrainians who voted for that government in the first place
    2
  249. There was no winter offensive. Your media just imagined Russian goal and celebrated when nothing happened. With the same level of ignorance i can say that during big Ukrainian spring offensive they just captured few fields near Bahmut and failed to do anything even remotely significant
    2
  250. Maybe you have been watching blatant pro Ukrainian propaganda all this time. Because this guy even uses western media to prove his point. Are you saying that those western media are also working for Russia? Or those people who make online maps of this war?
    2
  251.  @birmanets  Putin never invaded a single country that wasn't bombing civilians at Russian borders. So certain country isn't planning some racial cleansing - they don't need to worry about Russia Ukraine and NATO broke Minsk agreement, so what? And what's wrong with Chechnya? It's one of the most pro Putin regions in Russia after he cleaned terrorists, who flooded this region
    2
  252.  @ThisPartIsAndrew  i also don't know any Ukranian soldiers who has returned from the war. That's a dumb question Son of Prigizhin (billionaire who founded Wagner) is fighting there. Highly likely Wagner receiving money from other billionaires who's close to Putin too. It's better to pay them, than keep soldiers in Russian army and talk to people about Russian losses
    2
  253.  @avel2863  what Russian equipment is worse than Ukrainian on the battlefield? Himars isn't better than smerch or Tornado s and far worse than Iskander. Pzh 2000 isn't better than koalitsya, but koalitsya operated by less and more experienced soldiers. I guess the only thing Russia doesn't have analogue for is bayraktar, but they had no problems destroying it. So what equipment are you talking about?
    2
  254.  @ThisPartIsAndrew  no clue who's that. I also googled and found out that one of the Wagner mercs came back to Russia and had a fight with rosgvardia (also some military members), the only reason why there's info about him - because he got in the news, surely he wasn't the only one who got his paycheck. And you know about Starsky only because he has a yt channel. So yeah, it's a dumb question, because you only find out about soldiers returned to home because they are famous or infamous, you won't read about some random Vasily who came back a bought a new car without him getting in the news

  256.  @desj2584  last time NATO sent guided missiles was 2 months ago and they sent only 1000 of them. I guess they mostly used to destroy ammo depots and infrastructure When soldiers are pushing in open fields - it's infinitely better to fire 20 dumb rockets in area where those soldiers are and kill 10 people, than fire 1 precise rocket and kill 1 unlucky dude. Also Russia has plenty of precise artillery and long range missiles. But yes, majority of Russian and Ukranian rockets aren't precise and meant to damage big area. Why do you think that like a 100 of decent artillery pieces Ukraine received from NATO are majority of their artillery pieces if they had thousands of them before start of the war?

  257.  @ThisPartIsAndrew  actually no idea who would win. Last time USA fought someone better than farmers with AK was Vietnam and we know how it ended. It's also interesting that every American piece of equipment and soldier costs more money, than Russian equipment and soldiers, because weaponry companies in Russia belong to Russia and aren't making prices 5 times than they should be (according to Lockheed spendings and earnings). So if USA wastes 1 billion for an army - its gonna be as well equipped as 200m worth Russian army Well, i gave you an example of Wagner member who returned to Russia. What's your point again?
    2
  258.  @who-sq5kr  so USA just lost 60k (or whatever the number is) soldiers in Vietnam because they were scared of USSR? I was talking about price for similar equipment. As i said, Lockheed makes 4 times more money than it spends. So in reality USA pays 5 times more than they could have if Lockheed belong to government. So if, for example, Lockheed made rifle that costs 5k $ for USA to buy - Russia would pay 600 $ for the same rifle to make, because industry that makes this rifle in Russia belongs to government and Russian workers paid a lot less. You're saying that Russia is a corrupt country, which is true. But for USA it's called lobbying

  259.  @dylanc9174  Russia fires 70k shells per day, compared to 35k entire NATO sends them in a month. Their logistics is fine. Btw, Russia also shoots at Ukranian logistics and destroys dozen of ammo depots daily. Everything you said about Russia can be applied to Ukraine but for them it's far worse Russia doesn't have a lot of troops. In Kharkov Ukraine had 8 to 1 advantage according to some sources. And also huge advantage in the north of Kherson recently. If Russia supplies 100 people, 20 tanks and 10 artillery pieces in some part of the front, but Ukraine sends 500 dudes in vehicles to go around them in places completely free of Russian soldiers - those 100 people in tanks can't do anything except for retreating. It doesn't mean that they suffered huge losses and lost the fight, it just means that they had to retreat to not suffer huge losses after some time. Also Ukraine did the same thing at the start of the offensive few weeks ago, they captured big chunk of land in the North of Kherson and around Davidov Brod, suffered huge losses and retreated And when it comes to Russian gains - it was clear that they aren't trying to capture territory fast since week 2 Right now Ukraine looses a lot more men and equipment than NATO sends them. They are weaker than they were at the start of the war. It's just not hard to send people to charge in places where Russians barely have troops. I mean, Russia did the same in first days of war and captured territorial equivalent of Great Britain
    2
  260. Those 2 members were in EU anyway, EU is also a defensive alliance, just like NATO. So nothing really changed "Worst military in Europe" - Russia captured Bahmut against same amount of troops that entire UK has btw. According to The New York Times Russia outproduces entire NATO in artillery ammo 7 to 1 and pretty much all major players admitted that they're running out of ammo and/or equipment to send to Ukraine. Why exactly largest military alliance on earth can't make Ukraine less terribly outgunned against "worst military in eu" ?
    2
  261. @techtical7079  stockpiles are needed to give you time to increase production. And now Russia is outproducing entire NATO 800k left Russia when they started mobilization. And according to Bloomberg from a year ago - 80% of them returned to Russia within a year. Right now Russia doesn't have conscription and growing their army with only volunteers Russia is still making billions on trading. In 2024 Russia made 108b dollars selling oil and gas, while in 2021 they made 118b Well, according to mediazona Russia lost 90k soldiers (including PMCs and prisoners) in 3 years. But they also gained like 4 million people in their new regions Tho you're right, Russia has problems. But the Ukrainian situation is much worse, why are you only looking at one side of the conflict? Ukraine lost 20 million people since 2014 due to the loss of territory and immigration, they have the lowest birth rate in the world, they barely produce their own equipment and rely on unreliable allies to support them. Ukraine is also neck deep in debt, lost 20% of their country and can't even pay pensions without western money. Does it look much much worse to you?

  264. Well, according to mediazona Russia lost 43k soldiers in entire war, based on actual data from cemeteries and social media. And according to Zelensky during defence of Severodonetsk, Ukraine was losing 200 soldiers per day, which is around 140k dead now
    2
  265. Looking at your photo I can see that you're getting paid in burgers

  266. Well, if you lost 20% of your soldiers and gain no ground - you failed. Plus Ukraine lost half of their Bradleys and 20% of their best tanks and haven't reached first line of Russian defenses

  267. Mediazona is sponsored by BBC and banned in Russia. They're the most objective source you can find because they actually COUNT casualties unlike random estimations

  268. Because 50 countries supply Ukraine with money and weapons, while Ukrainian militia kidnaps men off streets to throw into the military.

  272. Any slow grind benefits Russia since they outgun Ukraine in artillery 10 to 1. Few dozens of 50yo planes won't change anything since Ukraine had hundreds of them and Russia almost wiped them out in first months of war. There's no reason to assume it's gonna be different with f16 According to BBC sponsored Mediazona, which has actual data from cementeries and social media, Russia currently loosing like 50 people a week. How many do you think Ukraine is loosing while attacking through minefields without air cover against overwhelming artillery and aviation?

  273. ​ @eazyemco  дурачок пытается в русские маты, но не выходит
    2
  274.  @spongebob7296  Russia has more tanks and artillery than entire NATO, they simply can't send enough of them to actually win against Russia. NATO strength is coming from overwhelming air force and ships, but they won't send them in Ukraine in big quantities and it's gonna be targeted by Russian anti air a lot. For the same reason Russia ain't using planes a lot, because Ukraine has pretty good anti air units For every himars USA has - Russia has 10 Iskander, tornado s and Smerch. Ukraine needs a lot more weaponry to start gaining ground
    2
  275. ​ @bck481  I'm literally quoting Wikipedia, argue with them, not with me. "But Ukraine is supported" - and yet the situation is much worse for Ukraine despite all that support. That's the whole point "His people won't tolerate this war forever" - probably, but Russia sustains its army with only volunteers, while Ukraine can't keep up with losses despite forcing people off streets because they have little to no volunteers. So again, situation is much worse for Ukraine The Russian war industry is growing day by day and Russia is outproducing the entire NATO. How is this in trouble? In comparison to who? Does it mean that NATO war industry is in much bigger trouble? Ukraine doesn't have an edge with drones. Yuriy Fedorenko, commander of the Achilles company of the 92nd Separate Airmobile Brigade, made the statement to the Ukrainian state broadcaster Suspilne on Tuesday. "In priority frontline sectors, we have the following ratio: one of our drones to five or seven enemy drones," - that's from the Business Insider from December 2023. Recently Belousov stated that Russia is making 4000 drones per day btw Russia does control the black sea and they're keeping launching rockets at Ukraine, that's the only thing that matters in the land war.
    2
  276. "Russia being invaded" is a weird way to say "Ukraine does another suicidal PR attack on Belgorod"
    2
  277. There's a reason why Ukraine had like 10 mobilization waves and can't get to first line of Russian defenses after 2 months of constant attacks. That's what huge disadvantage looks like
    2
  278. Ukraine had a navy, but Russia destroyed its entirety. Ukrainian military is by far the biggest in EU and they have more equipment than the majority of EU combined. Is there a particular reason why Russia should speed up instead of keeping destroying the Ukrainian army with a huge advantage in fire power? Especially since only after 2 years Ukraine is already incapable of keeping up with their losses despite kidnapping people off streets to throw them into the military
    2
  279. ​ @Ironbattlemace  is he wrong? What he should have reported to be unbiased in your eyes?
    2
  280. Well, considering that Biden himself admitted that USA almost run out of artillery shells, while Russia still has artillery superiority and even gained drone superiority against entire NATO - yeah, Russia is dominant super power Btw, do you think Ukraine throwing everything they had in summer offensive and achieving nothing also proves that they can't regain their land and that those regions will bw past of Russia forever? Especially considering that NATO admitted to running out of equipment to send to Ukraine and admitting that they won't be able to support Ukraine on the level of 2022 and 2023

  282. Do you realize that Russia is losing a lot of armour specifically because they aren't using human wave tactics? Unlike Ukraine, which even Budanov admitted in his interview to the Drive. Are you projecting?
    2
  283. In 2023 Russia captured more land than Ukraine according to the New York Times btw. If you're loosing ground despite your great offensive, which even had a trailer - you're loosing hard. And how many Ukrainians are you willing to sacrifice for them to recapture regions that don't want to be part of Ukraine anyway? I'd say that Ukraine should start negotiations sooner rather than later, avoid more hundreds of thousands of deal and hundreds of billions in debt "Kidnapping children" - so evacuation of children with parents agreeing to it is evil apparently? Have you seen a single video of some mother screaming "don't take my kids" to Russian soldiers? So how is it kidnapping? My news were flooded with Hamas kidnapping people and with Israel carpet bombing civilian cities since day 1 of the conflict. But for some reason we haven't seen a single video of those "tens of thousands of children" being actually kidnapped. Have you considered your media lying to you and just portraying Russia as evil?
    2
  284. Russia lost 36k in entire war according to BBC sponsored Mediazona, which uses actual data from cementeries and social media, unlike random estimations It's interesting that Ukraine called Bahmut "meatgrinder for Russia", but it was Ukrainian offensive that failed after Bahmut because they didn't had enough forces to capture anything other than few villages in greyzone, don't you think?
    2
  285.  @bordedup546  why would he make a video about random complaining general? Do you think he should also make video about every Ukrainian general that talks about lack of equipment, ammo, trained soldiers etc? No army is perfect, in every war every general and every soldier want more equipment in larger quantities and nothing is ever enough
    2
  286.  @bordedup546  he did it for Wagner in Bahmut and ammo shortage, he did it when Kherson and Kharkiv fell and he did it when Russia failed to capture Ugledar. Ukraine just has more reasons to complain
    2
  287. Ukraine never had nukes. Soviet nukes were stationed there, while codes were in Moscow. If Ukraine hasn't given them up - they would just pay to decommission them themselves
    2
  288. All reasons, why Russia is loosing, you mentioned - can be also said about Ukraine and NATO to some extent. For example Ukraine lost 30% of their GDP in last year. Canceling grain deal haven't affected Africa because only 4% of Ukranian grain was sent to actually poor countries. While Russia was sending grain for free to poorest countries in huge quantities for decades. "Russia can't send aid, weapons, equipment and food" - yes they can. But China does for Africa a lot more than west and Russia. So if Africa needs food - they have Russia, the biggest grain exporter on Earth. If they need goods - there's China, the biggest goods exporter on Earth That's why Africa moves towards BRICS And even in your hypothetical scenario about Russia becoming China's puppet - how is west doing in this scenario? When richest country (in terms of resources) basically unites with other richest country (in terms of population and industry)? BRICS already has bigger economy than G7. Do you think such alliance will put west in the bad spot as well?
    2
  289.  @itsPathfynder  you said that "Russia isn't winning at all because their economy is damaged very badly" and now you're confirming that EU is doing worse than Russia, while Ukraine's economy is sinking. If 1.2% growth means that you are loosing a war, then EU and Ukraine will loose the war faster You can Google who Ukraine sold grain during grain deal. Number 1 is China and then long list of other non starving countries. And yes, not every country in Africa or country with "developing economy" are starving or in need of food Russia was sending grain for free for decades. For example in 2019 they sent 100k tons of grain to Syria for free (you can also google it) USA is largest grain producer, not exporter, don't confuse it. You also can't deny mighty Chinese industry BRICS countries aren't only have bigger GDP, but the gap between them and NATO is growing, that's the whole point. I'd say that for NATO not being the dominant power, loosing control over the world, seeing how stronger alliance grows - is pretty scary
    2
  290. I mean, there's no reason for Russia to not use North Korean troops as artillery crew for Korean systems
    2
  291. Well, Russia definitely lost more equipment than Ukraine, since Russia actually has equipment to spare. But they also lost far less soldiers than Ukraine, because Ukraine is terribly outgunned
    2
  292.  @rocketman4123  "Soldiers headed for Iraq are still buying their own body armor - and in many cases, their families are buying it for them - despite assurances from the military that the gear will be in hand before they're in harm's way" - quote from CBS news about 2004 war. If you Google "can soldiers buy uniform" - you will see tons of "yes" answers about militaries in different armies. Because everything in the army is standardized, if your equipment makes you feel uncomfortable - you can buy yourself something different. As long as your officers are ok with it - you can wear anything
    2
  293.  @rocketman4123  it's not illegal to wear non standard uniform. For example there was a discussion in the USA about photos "Green Berets on horseback wearing pakols and various combinations of uniforms and shalwar kameez in late 2001". But if you're questioning logistics - is there any evidence that some soldiers haven't received uniforms? No? Then what's your point? What non standard gear usage has to do with logistics? Why is buying a vest different from buying a uniform? Do you think American army logistics also sucks because soldiers had to buy their own armour ?
    2
  294. What enormous losses? In entire war Russia lost 40k troops. And according to Mediazona, currently Russia barely loses soldiers. While equipment is easily replaceable Btw, do you think Ukraine in the area has enormous losses, considering how many bombs Russia drops on them?
    2
  295. He's literally quoting western media and Ukrainian soldiers who gave their interviews to western media
    2
  296. Ukraine dammed the river to Crimea that supplies 80% of freshwater to the region, deliberately starving 2 million people. Zelensky threatened to build nukes on Munich conference. Ukraine kept bombing Donbas civilians despite Minsk agreement. And also Angela Merkel, Hollande, Poroshenko and Zelensky all admitted that Minsk agreement was made to rearm Ukraine for future wars, instead of stopping the war in Donbas There are plenty of reasons to not root for Ukraine
    2
  297. Vast majority of those vehicles has open hatches and no visible damage. So most likely they got disabled due to mines or artillery shells falling close to them. Also, when Russia lost many vehicles before - they never had huge losses. BBC sponsored Mediazona, which uses actual data from cementeries and social media, counting Russian KiA with dates and names. Casualties weren't skyrocketing during failed Soledar assault or during failed river crossing where Russia lost like 50 vehicles twice. So no, amount of damaged equipment has nothing to do with fallen soldiers
    2
  298. And westerners also support Ukraine retaking Crimea and Donbas, despite them wanting to be part of Russia for over a decade
    2
  299.  @V-V1875-h  many people want extra weapons, gear and medicine, of course they gonna buy new stuff. Just like Americans are buying guns, it doesn't mean that their army is lacking something
    2
  300. Saying "we have losses" equals to "we got slaughtered"? Are you insane or something? According to Prigozhin Wagner uses 10k shells per day, compared to 3-5k of entire Ukraine. While last remaining road to Bahmut is being shelled to oblivion. Do you realize that 90% of casualties in any war caused by artillery and other bombs and that side with more fire power will have a lot less losses than enemy? Do you realize that being encircled means you're suffering heavier losses, right?
    2
  301. Where exactly did he lied?

  302.  @zaplakailol  почему тему сменил? Наступление на киев было фейлом, это факт. А вот почему ты делаешь вид, что украинское наступление не упёрлось в стену мне не понятно. Так что должно было произойти, чтобы ты назвал контрнаступ провальным?
    2
  303.  @alexanderiliev1431  obviously not all of them can be used right now. Some surely need repair and some just need fuel Usa spends a lot of money for NATO, for wars in other countries, paying a lot more to soldiers and sending equipment to countries they support, so that's why their budget is so big. But Russia's earnings from selling military equipment only twice as less as USA, despite having less countries to sell it to. So i can assume that their production capacities are quite similar Of course it's speculation. But Russia is famous for building tanks and it's not that expensive to store them in warm dry places with maintenance once in a few years
    2
  304.  @alexanderiliev1431  I've read a statement from uralvagonzavod (factory that makes tanks in Russia), they said that they are indeed struggling with some equipment for tanks. Mostly night visors. They assured that they can still produce tanks, but they won't be as universal as they used to be until they find a way to buy certain components from different sources. Considering that t72 was made in USSR - it's relatively easy to make and can be produced at pretty fast rate. From 1973 to 2005 there were made 30k of those tanks. Roughly 1k per year. And i can guess that in 90s they weren't producing them as much cos Russia was really fucked up, so maybe they can produce it even faster. Surely, those tanks will be worse than modern tanks, but it should be enough to fight Ukraine with barely any supply and 2k javelins per year from Lockheed
    2
  305.  @droid-9 it takes around few months to do a proper tank training. Soviets were building simple to use and reliable equipment. Also not every destroyed tank means killed crew. There was a video in Telegraph like a week ago about Russian tank being exploded by 2 land mines and a rocket, at least 2 members of the crew survived and unharmed (maybe all 3 members are fine, video has cuts"
    2
  306. According to BBC sponsored Mediazona, which uses actual data from cementeries and social media, unlike random propaganda estimations - Russia lost 26k dead and currently loosing like 50 soldiers a week. How many do you think Ukraine is loosing, considering that they have been attacking for 40 days against overwhelming artillery and aviation without even reaching first line of defence
    2
  307.  @Валерій-я6т  they captured ground when they greatly outnumbered Russia. Now it's not the case. And don't you think it's better to just leave than getting surrounded like Ukraine in Mariupol Lysychansk Severodonetsk Bahmut and later Avdiivka probably? Especially when it comes to war of attrition Also Putin's goal from day 1 was destruction of Ukranian army (demillitarisation). Why shouldn't Russia capture small villages to encircle cities to destroy Ukrainian there and repel Ukrainian attacks? Bahmut was fortified for 8 years and defended by 60k soldiers with NATO equipment and training, but wagner encircled it after 2 months. Looks impressive to me. Compare it to NATO taking Fallujah in 2 months against 2k goat farmers with ak47
    2
  308. Not a single Russian official ever said thay they will capture Ukraine or certain city in any given amount of days. Western propaganda just imagined Russian goal and celebrated when nothing happened Bahmut was defended by more soldiers and equipment than entire UK army has. Just imagine that Russia defeated entire British might concentrated in one city. So what's your point again?
    2
  309. Ukraine dammed the river to Crimea that supplies 80% of freshwater to the region, deliberately starving 2 million people. Zelensky threatened to build nukes on Munich conference. Ukraine kept bombing Donbas civilians despite Minsk agreement. And also Angela Merkel, Hollande, Poroshenko and Zelensky all admitted that Minsk agreement was made to rearm Ukraine for future wars, instead of stopping the war in Donbas
    2
  310. Ukraine haven't destroyed a single ship that launches rockets at Ukraine. How exactly Ukraine destroying some random landing ship during it's repairs helped them in any way shape or form? Obviously losing any equipment sucks, but if Russia actually tried some landing with that ship and Ukraine destroyed it - Russia would lose many soldiers and equipment. Don't you think it would be better for Ukraine to destroy it when Russia actually used it? So it's just another PR stunt with no purpose Russia does lose a lot of equipment because they can afford using a lot of equipment, unlike Ukraine. Do you realize that 3 guys in a tank will kill a lot more enemies and are a lot more likely to survive than 3 guys with AK in open field? And now we can talk about loss ratio. If one side has 10 times more artillery, 10 times more tanks and 100 times more planes - who do you think is losing more troops? According to BBC sponsored Mediazona Russia lost 39k in entire war, which is a lot. But for comparison in 2011 Russia lost 28k people in car crushes. That's why they can replace their losses and grow their military by only volunteers. Compare it to Ukraine which parliament wants to mobilize women and crippled, while kidnapping military age men to throw in the army and begging European countries to return Ukrainian men who managed to escape. How can Ukraine possibly lose less soldiers than Russia, considering that Russia has equal or superior analogues of Ukrainian equipment but in far larger quantities? According to western media - now Russia has 7 times more drones than Ukraine and it was the only advantage Ukraine had over Russia Just because you want something to be true - doesn't make it true

  311. Life is peaceful in Donbas and Crimea. No guerilla warfare. There's also nowhere to hide and cameras are everywhere. You can't have partisans in modern countries, at least not for long

  312. Do you think US was also desperate in Afghanistan and Iraq when they invited other countries, including Ukraine? Can you name a large scale war with only 2 participants? What is even your point?

  313. Do you realize that vast majority of people who volunteer in wars in every country are always from poor regions? You can Google what American regions join army far more often than others. Or do you think that Washington is also "scavenging for cannon fodder in Texas because they're racists"? Noone is "scavenging" anything and Russians treat everyone equally. Don't judge them by your standards of your country
    2
  314.  @trevorcrook5753  but Russia was building up ammo since USSR. And all their weapon industries belong to Russian government, they can say "make more ammo" and they will make ammo, while USA industries can say "no" because it isn't profitable to expand production, because after war is over - USA won't need that much ammo anymore
    2
  315.  @carlosproano840  it's not about USA, but about their war industry. It's not profitable to make shells, it's not profitable to expand your production line if next year no-one will need it anymore. And since NATO has bases and training centers everywhere - they also need a lot of ammo everywhere There's a reason why they only sent 1500 guided ammo in last 4 months and why their ammo supplies in general can't even keep up with amount of shells Ukraine fires. In last package they also sent 200k bullets, but it's only enough to arm a 1000 men for 1 day of actual fighting
    2
  316.  @skullybull9045  wars aren't won by taking ground, but by destroying enemy army. Even western media admitted that Russia saved 90% of their equipment and suffered almost no losses while retreating from those lands. They can keep fighting, unlike hundreds of destroyed Ukrainian columns. Can Ukraine sustain such attack, since NATO barely sends them equipment? Do you think that Putin will admit defeat if Ukraine pushes Russia off Crimea and entire Ukraine somehow? Loosing ground isn't even close to be as important as saving your army

  317.  @alvaro701  there's a video of 1 t90. Where did you got info from entire division (15k troops) using hundreds t90? Where can i find pictures of it? And how did you conclude that there was 1st guard tank army in general and in what numbers? Russia was holding Lyman to not get encircled indeed, but everywhere else they weren't holding for more than a day. It's a clear sign of retreating, instead of making a last stand And how much soviet style ammo do you think those countries have? They still sending less than Ukraine uses and a lot less than Russia uses in a day

  323. Russia accepting NK aid has nothing to do with "needing bodies". Having more soldiers is better than having less soldiers. Giving your allies modern combat experience is also good. USA also asked for help of NATO's countries when they invaded half of the middle east Russia had only one conscription wave 2 years ago. Now all those conscripts are battle hardened soldiers with 2 years of experience in modern warfare, they're infinitely better than NATO soldiers with experience against guys in flip flops. And they're also much better than Ukrainians, who were snatched off streets to be thrown on the frontline 2 weeks later. I guess you forgot that all Russian men also went through at least 1 year of military training when they turned 18 What "pros" about the Ukrainian situation? They have manpower shortages, they opened a new frontline despite that. They're losing ground faster than ever before (outside of the initial phase of invasion), their power grid is getting closer to nonexistence every day. And what "significant things on the Russian side" are you talking about? Russia losing a dozen armoured vehicles on some random road?
    2
  324. He literally talked about Ukraine gaining few fields near Bahmut, what are you on about? Also according to wiki wagner had 50k soldiers in total, so no it would be impossible for them to loose 60k soldiers. Also according to BBC sponsored Mediazona there are 2k dead Wagnerians based on reports on cementeries and social media, it's an actual data unlike Ukrainian war propaganda "No strategic significance" - there are many roads around Bahmut with a lot of hills, so it can be a huge supply hub and can be a starting point for offensive on Slavyanks-Kramatorsk line of cities and on Siversk. What exactly do you mean by strategic value and what city has strategic value? No-one ever said that dozens of thousands of people were in Bahmut itself, they were stationed in Slavyanks-Kramatorsk line and other cities near Bahmut and were sending constant reserves. Obviously no-one actually placed thousands of people in every building in Bahmut itself. Also NATO was training Ukrainians since 2015 in ideal conditions, now they only receiving few months of training on equipment noone is familiar with Obviously if Ukraine just send thousands of troops down the road - they will gain some ground, but losses will be horrible. For example according to Washington post and their interview with Ukrainian soldiers from Kherson offensive - Ukraine lost at least 5 times more soldiers than Russia during those attacks, despite Russia having worse defences, a lot less troops and damaged supply line

  326. 1) Russia haven't faile to beat Ukraine because war isn't over 2) Russia lost replaceable armoured vehicles in Avdiivka, but captured a waste hill and squeezed the cauldron tighter 3) No, Russia had only one 300k mobilization 4) In 2023 Russia captured 2 times more land than Ukraine according to New York Times 5) Russia doesn't need to gain ground, their goal was to demilitarise Ukraine. Less costly way to do that is to encircle cities where Ukraine is willing to sacrifice tens of thousands for PR stunt (Mariupol Lysychansk Severodonetsk Bahmut and Avdiivka) and defend from ukrainian attacks. NATO already doesn't believe in Ukrainian victory (you can read yesterday's Time article and interview with Zelensky and his officials). Support will drain more with every failed Ukrainian offensive and with every city Russia encircled. So why would they try to capture tons of land everywhere for no reason?

  327.  @danieldoherty1029  1) Not a single Russian official ever said that Kiev will fall in 3 days or that they will capture it at all. American general Milley said that Kiev will fall in 3 days without American help, that's about it. So you ate too much western propaganda, anyone who's saying anything about "Kiev in 3 days" is lying to you on purpose 2) Prigozhin said many things to discredit Russian MoD, doesn't mean it's true. Same goes for Wagner losses. Mediazona counted amount of Wagner graves too. And including them - Russia lost 34k in total 3) No, Wagner's head Utkin didn't had swastikas, there are like 4 photos of him in general. The only similarities between Utkin and guy with swastikas on his shoulders - they're both bold, but there's zero evidence that there's the same person. 4) Jew Zelensky still gave standing ovations to old nazi from SS Galichina division in Canada parliament, he let nazis from White Rex create "free Russia legion" in Ukraine, he also smiled to nazi azov leaders in Turkey. And btw, Nazism has nothing to do with jews, you can hate any race you want 5) Both sides are obviously lying about enemy losses, it's a standard war propaganda. Ukraine also claimed to kill and wound more Russians than they have in Ukraine in total 6) Yes, when your enemies are committing warcrimes by hiding in civilian areas - unfortunately civilian casualties and destruction of homes are imminent. That's the difference between Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine is hiding behind civilians and fighting for every house, while Russia evacuated 100k people from Kherson and left it without forcing Ukraine to damage it and fight for every house. Btw, do you think people of Crimea also want to be "liberated"? 7) Blinken said that aid for Ukraine is "on the end of the rope", Biden said that USA almost run out of artillery shells to send to Ukraine, majority of NATO countries also said that they have completely run out of equipment to send to Ukraine without taking it from active units. So NATO stockpiles are almost empty, tho surely they will supply them with stuff time to time, but it's barely gonna be enough to defence 8) Russia isn't attacking the most fortified place in the world every day, do they? Considering that they have tens of thousands of tanks in storage - yeah, they can replace anything, unlike Ukraine. Because they don't know how to fix western equipment, they don't have repair centers inside Ukraine, they don't have spare parts, they don't produce anything and solely relying on the west 9) "and now they mobilized another 300k" - Russia mobilized 300k 18yo every year, they aren't sent to Ukraine, it's just a standard conscription 10) NATO tripled Ukrainian budget in military spendings alone and for the past year Russia only has been fighting NATO equipment and money. 11) Bahmut and Kupyansk direction. You can find NYT article about gained ground if you want to 12) For me it was pretty obvious that Russia wanted to negotiate and bully Ukraine into letting go of Donbas and Lugansk, best way to do it is threaten Kiev 13) Waste hill is a highest location in the region, it allows to control supply roads. Maybe because of it Russia blew up few leopards in Avdiivka. Btw, it's funny how you're joking about "public toilet", considering that tiny village of Robotne held longer than Mariupol with 8000 of best Ukrainian troops 14) There's ZERO evidence that Russia did any harm to civilians 15) There's ZERO evidence that Russia bought weapons from North Korea. Their officials visit each other regularly. And since when it's against the law to trade with other countries? Why should Russia follow US sanctions against Iran? Btw, why are you switching topics so much? Have you realized that you know nothing about this conflict so you have you throw more propaganda bs on the fan to look less wrong?

  328. ​ @notamurderer6226  Ukrainians in general don't want to fight, otherwise Ukraine wouldn't have a manpower shortage Zelensky doesn't want to give up on land, but every year Ukraine was losing land and their grand offensive only captured 1% of Zaporozhye. But Russia is crushing Ukrainian army, despite lack of movement. A year ago Ukraine wanted to reach Crimea, today they receive a fraction of 2023 aid and have no soldiers to use it anyway
    2
  329. Facts are: Ukraine lost 10-15% of their leopards 2 and Bradleys confirmed by Oryx, Ukraine captured multiple small villages in low ground in grey zone 10km away from first line of Russian defenses Russia can also fail attacks and they also failed plenty of times. But they have lot of equipment to spare Ukraine haven't captured anything other than those tiny villages after Russia started mobilization. It's not progress, it's a disaster Russian equipment also doesn't getting completely destroyed by mines. Same was in their Ugledar attack. But again, Russia can waste equipment, while Ukraine cannot. If Ukraine is resourceful and loosing slowly - it's ok, but if they're wreckless and barely gaining ground - it's a huge problem
    2
  330.  @tunacanoe2143  Russia can hit anything stationary with artillery and hit anything Ukraine may want to rescue with helicopters. That famous picture with leopards and Bradleys gained more destroyed vehicles after Ukraine tried to rescue those leopards USA can indeed sent tons of Bradleys, but Germany stated that they can't send more leopard 2 because they don't have many of them left. So every leopard 2 loss will remain a loss There are plenty of videos of Russian tanks getting damaged by mines and rarely they're completely destroyed too. And atgm destroy everything anyway. How exactly Bradley can survive hit that destroys a tank? And when it comes to quality - there's a video of lancet destroying leopard 2 with one hit, but Russians consider shooting soviet tanks with lancet ineffective "Less ground slowly and at higher casualties rate" - you can't know anything about casualties rate. But Russia does take slower approach because they have huge artillery advantage and there's no point for them to rush in. Mostly their strategy after first 2 months of war was to encircle cities where Ukraine is willing to throw thousands in meat grinder for PR stunts ( Mariupol Lysychansk Severodonetsk Bahmut and Avdiivka). While Ukraine can't be slow because it benefits Russia due to sheer amount of fire power Their strategy worked out on Kharkiv because Russia barely had troops there. But in Kherson Ukraine also was throwing away thousands until Russia decided to retreat. I indeed didn't expected Russia to fall back from Kherson, but you can't deny that Ukrainian attacks there worked well, despite Russia having little supplies there. Also according to Washington post and their interview with Ukrainian soldiers from Kherson offensive - Russia was loosing at least 5 times less soldiers there than Ukraine Since last Ukrainian offensive - Russia was the one gaining ground and bombarding Ukrainian soldiers in cauldrons. And now Ukraine can't even make it to first line of Russian defenses, despite having huge losses. That's why I call it slowly loosing Also NATO can't replace Ukrainian losses (other than Bradleys). Majority of NATO countries admitted that they completely run out of equipment and ammo for Ukraine. For example Germany only has 20k artillery shells left, that's less than what Russia uses in a day. Ukranian equipment getting better percentage wise but in quantity they're a lot weaker than at the beginning of war. Compare it to Russia loosing 50 t90 according to oryx, but having like 600 of them before the war and making more 24/7. Now Ukraine probably has less tanks than Russia has t90 alone, they don't outnumber Russia greatly anymore, they don't have advantage in drones, they barely have air force, air defences or rockets for them, they still use a lot less ammo than Russia and loosing artillery daily. What advantage Ukraine has over Russia, considering that some Russian equipment is as good as NATO equipment, but Russia has it in far larger quantities? You can't "slowly win" when you're greatly outclassed

  331. What? Prigozhin himself stated that they have plenty of people now, that's why they stopped recruiting prisoners. He also made a joke while answering to some American media about it and said that "we already recruited 10 million Americans". What are you on about? Wagner is a great musician and died before Hitler was even born. What are you on about (part 2 electric boogaloo)

  332. Are you that insecure in your opinion that you have to call everyone who disagrees with you a bot?

  333. Ah, yes, because entrenched defenders with huge advantage in fire power and aviation supposed to loose more soldiers than outgunned attackers. Riiiight

  334. Do you expect the most fortified city in the world to fall faster than tiny village of Robotne?

  335.  @jandonker3587  "human life" - it was Ukraine that let their soldiers to get encircled and die in cauldrons in Mariupol Lysychansk Severodonetsk Bahmut and Avdiivka, while Russia always preferred to retreat and not waste lifes for nothing "Freedom" - Ukrainians aren't even allowed to leave Ukraine, even FEMALE medics. Ukraine also asked Poland and EU in general to return to Ukraine those who managed to escape. "Security"- well, in Ukraine people are getting kidnapped from streets to be thrown into military. I wouldn't feel very secure in Ukraine "Justice" - I don't see any justice towards people of Donbas and Crimea who deserved their freedom from Ukraine Russia is definitely not perfect, but it's a lot better than Ukraine, so maybe you should join Russia

  338. ​ @burningblue1254  what can't I prove? I haven't stated anything and I wasn't the one running my mouth. Do you think Ukrainian soldiers share your feelings about Russia being weak? Do you think that's what they feel under fabs and TOS? Do you think that's what Ukrainians, who are running away from militia or drowning in the river trying to escape to Romania, feel like?

  339.  @rocketman4123  if Russia is so weak, why is it Ukraine that's running out of soldiers and is terribly outgunned by Russia despite 300b from NATO? What cannon fodder? Are you confused? Because Russia is the one who's using tons of armour to save their soldiers. And Russia isn't the one who's got encircled in Mariupol Lysichansk Severodonetsk Bahmut Krinky and Avdeevka. "Russians thought they would surrender" - who told you that lol?

  341.  @elmarhinz3076 as i said in other comment to you - USA won't replace Ukrainian 10% of soldiers dying every time Ukraine tries to attack GDP has nothing to do with military complex. USA plans to make 90k shells per month in 2025, France plans to DOUBLE (what a big word) their shell production to 2k per month, while Russia using 20k shells per day for over a year now, so they definitely can replace it. Also according to Ukraine Russia makes and fires around 90 long range rockets per month (plus many drones), while USA makes 250 patriot missiles per year in total (for their own training, for other operators and for their own wars). According to pro western novayagazeta in 2022 Russia makes 250 new tanks and upgrades 600 old tanks per year, according to Putin in 2023 Russia will make and upgrade 1500 tanks, compare to USA making 15 abrams per year or to Germany that makes 14 leopard 2 and upgrades 88 leopard 1 per year. So even lowest estimation of Russian tank production dwarfs entire NATO So what's your point again?

  342.  @danielc9967  half of ukrainian population left since 2014 tho, so they have around 20m now. Amount of soldiers isn't an issue now, but the fact that they're catching people on streets is alarming

  343. People of Donbas were also defending themselves from the Ukrainian army for over a decade. Do you think Poroshenko and Zelensky are also mad dogs? Head of the Ukrainian negotiation team Arahamia, NYT and even Lavrov (head of the Russian negotiation team) admitted that the main thing Russia wanted is for Ukraine to stay out of NATO. So no, it's not about wiping it out. And yes, I'd Putin is so evil, why is it Zelensky who banned negotiations by law?

  344. Where exactly did he lied? When he was talking about Russian failure in Ugledar pro Ukrainians weren't complaining
    2
  345.  @TTTT-oc4eb  you can't trust Prigozhin, since he never even said how many people he lost in Syria or how many shells Wagner uses (he only said that it's not enough). If you want to believe him - you can also believe him saying that Ukraine lost 50k dead there
    2
  346. Can you apply the same standards for Ukraine? Considering that Ukraine barely captured land during it's grand offensive - they will need decades to restore 1991 borders. Do you also think that the world sees NATO leaders as Hitlera because they admittedly lied about Minsk agreements, lied about Grain deal and since Boris Johnson ordered Zelensky to sacrifice his country instead of negotiating for peace?

  347.  @michealnagy5763  carpet bombing cities is a definition of targeting civilians. And Russia never did to Ukraine what Israel is doing to Palestine

  349. Ukraine mobilized a million soldiers and received 200b dollars in money and equipment. Do you think it's easy to destroy country that had almost as many tanks and artillery as entire EU and receiving aid from entire NATO?
    2
  350. According to mediazona Russia lost 50k in entire war, including PMCs and prisoners. Which is roughly 70 soldiers per day. For comparison, according to Budanov himself, during defence of Severodonetsk Ukraine was losing 200-300 dead per day. Do you realise that huge Russian advantage in fire power correlates with losses? Do you realise that Ukraine is running out of soldiers despite kidnapping people off streets to throw them into the military for 2 years? Do you realise that Russia is sustaining its army with only volunteers for over a year? Btw, pretty much everyone admitted that Russia is outproducing the entire NATO. How can a regional power outproduce the biggest military alliance on earth?

  351. That's what the 155th brigade is supposed to be. Apparently soviet style brigades are better than NATO trained ones

  352. ​ @madisondines7441 "because Ukraine is defending" - before going on offensive Russia bombs Ukrainian positions for days and weeks with their superior fire power. If both sides are sitting in trenches, then the side with more fire power will have less losses "When you attack you have to cross open ground" - when you defend you also have to rotate troops, supply them, bring reinforcements during enemy attacks etc. So let me make it straight. If Russia stopped attacking at all and if Ukraine started an offensive - you would say that Ukraine suffers 80 times more casualties than Russia? Well, since Russia has 10 to 1 advantage in artillery and since during defence your shells are 40/5=8 times more effective? Have you said the same thing about the Ukrainian summer offensive? I guess you also think that the Ukrainian goal of retaking Crimea is impossible since for every 10 thousand Russian casualties Ukraine will lose 800k
    2
  353.  @madisondines7441  no, you're confusing some large scale offensive with "typical" counter attacking for random treelines, which are far more common. But anyway, in Kursk Russia barely had soldiers, unlike in Zaporozhye in 2023. Ukrainian summer offensive in 2023 was slow and grinding for around 8 months. Do you think that in those 8 months Ukraine suffered 80 times more casualties than Russia? Do you think that if Ukraine won't be able to pull off maneuver warfare inside Ukraine itself (with the presence of the Russian military, unlike in Kursk) - Ukraine will suffer dozens of times more casualties than Russia? I'm just curious if you're consistent in your estimations and aren't just parroting someone's lies because you want them to make sense. How many soldiers do you think Ukraine lost in their summer offensive?
    2
  354.  @vailcondo1531  Ukraine also brought t55 from Slovenia. Both sides are using them as artillery with 14km range. Btw about modern tanks. Russia had 600 of t90 when war started and lost around 60. They have 4-5 times more modern tanks than Ukraine will receive. And that if we assume that Russia haven't built a single t90, tho they made hundreds of them. And we saw how well leopard 2s are burning. Do you think it's gonna be different with other NATO tanks?

  356. "most of the world's population" - interesting. China and India are half of the world's population, plus Africa is also on the Russian side. And Brazil is part of the BRICS. Have you confused EU and USA with the whole world?
    2
  357. According to mercs who left Ukraine - majority of their soldiers had 3 days of training. Also training doesn't sace you from artillery shell, while Russia has huge advantage in artillery USA sent 1 million dumb 155mm shells to Ukraine and only 4200 GPS guided 155mm, which is 0.4%. So vast majority of whatever they shoot isn't accurate. Also Russia has plenty of precise shells like 9m542 (with range of 120km which is used by smerch and tornado s which are himars analogues with more rockets) and have plenty of lazer guided krasnopol missiles. Are you saying that Russia used less than 4200 precise shells, tho according to Ukraine, they used around 4000 long range missiles like x101 or kalibr? Do you think that they used same amount of precise 155mm shells as long range expensive rockets? Why? Eastern Ukraine is also fighting for freedom from nazi loving Zelensky regime Btw, if Biden wants to do something - he needs to convince parliament to do it. If Putin wants to do something - he needs to say a word. Decisions in non democratic countries are made a lot faster If you care about democracy so much, do you think that eastern Ukraine should be part of Russia and Ukraine should agree on it? Since if you look at any electrons before 2014 kievan coup that overthrew DEMOCRATICALLY elected president - entire Eastern half od Ukraine was voting for pro Russian candidates

  358. "back to old frontline" - lol what? Bridgehead is still there. Nadia, novohorivka and serheevka are still in russian hands, just like empty fields to the south around other river crossing . You're probably referring to some pro Ukrainian map that painted it all as greyzone for no apparent reason and said something about Ukrainian counter attack in that region. But according to rybar Russians are still there. And let's discuss counter attacks now "Not loosing them a day after" - that's not how this war works. Both sides sending small counter attacks when their positions were lost, so same settlement can change hands multiple times a day. It's easier to hold ground this way because you're attacking already weakened soldiers It's not hard to make "steady gains" when you're sending waves of soldiers for 2 months and loosing half of your Bradleys and 20% of leopards plus god knows how many soviet pieces of equipment to capture extra hundred meters here and there "Second best army in the world" uses defence in depth doctrine. Unlike Ukraine, they won't throw thousands to die in cauldrons for PR stunts like Ukraine did in Bahmut, Mariupol, Lysychansk, Severodonetsk and Avdiivka. If you haven't get the memo - they don't care about loosing ground as long as they kill shit loads of Ukranian soldiers in the process

  365.  @tsaoh5572  Those were major-generals or lower. Russia has tons of them, it's not like they are making strategies and plans. Before the war Putin promoted like 30 of them in the same day. Even medic can be that sort of "general". Everyone in Ukraine can die any moment, it sucks but i see no problems with it Well, Russia took 20% of Ukraine, it's equivalent of UK. They fucked up in the first week cos they tried to force Ukraine to give up immediately, so lost many troops. But right now tactic has changed and they are destroying Ukraine's army day coherently. Considering that majority of casualties in wars since ww1 were made by artillery and bombs - surely Russia is doing good, since they have biggest amount of artillery in the world. And, if i remember correctly, Russia just left Kharkov and planted tons of mines everywhere. So they aren't really scared for supply lines or Ukrainian pushing anything important Considering that Russia is fighting against 8yo fortifications, modern equipment and army that was raised on stories of soviet soldiers and their great defensive war - I'd say that Russia is doing pretty good. Not without fuck ups, but all wars are like that

Do you realise that some Ukrainian units driving around Kursk and getting ambushed has nothing to do actually taking ground? Do you realise that Kursk offensive benefits Russia because Ukraine is burning through their reserves, ammo and equipment, while leaving Donbas undefended? Do you realise that it's useless to take ground if it doesn't have military purpose? I guess we can both agree that Russia fucked up their defense in Kursk. But now Ukraine is overstretched and had to waste soldiers in Kursk PR stunt while their main logistics hub in Donbas is barely defended. So what's the usefulness of Kursk offensive for Ukraine? What's the military goal there?

  370. So 50k Ukrainian soldiers retreating through last remaining dirt road under shelling against 50k ex prisoners who loose 5 times more soldiers than Ukraine?

  374. According to who? Ukranian propaganda? War propaganda always the same "we are good guys and fighting like lions, enemies are bad guys and dying like flies". 80% of casualties in any war caused by artillery. And Russia outnumberes Ukraine in artillery 15 to 1 Btw, if Russia lost 30k man, it's 4 times more wounded. Does it mean that one mighty Dmitri is defeating entire Ukranian army?

  380.  @so_you_can_go  "stopped armoured attacks" - yes, even Budanov admitted that Ukraine is only using infantry without any armour cover. It's called human wave tactics. Who do you think is loosing more soldiers: Russia (which sending 30 guys in 10 tanks to destroy Ukrainian position from far away) or Ukrainr (which sends 30 guys in foot across minefields) ? Do you realize that usage of armour lowers your casualties and increasing enemies casualties? Do you realize that 3 people in tank will deal a lot more damage than 3 guys in open field? Do you realize that 3 guys in tank are a lot safer than 3 guys in open field? Btw, according to BBC sponsored Mediazona ,which uses actual data from cementeries and social media, unlike random estimations - Russia lost 34k troops in entire war. It's roughly 60 soldiers per day. Compare it to Zelensky himself admitting that Ukraine was loosing 200-300 dead soldiers per day during DEFENCE of Severodonetsk. So even if Russia was only attacking and Ukraine was only defending - Russia would have still lost at least 3 times less than Ukraine

If you're sending large forces into some village that no-one controls and those forces are getting slaughtered so hard that Russian units can counter attack and recapture it - it's not a good thing and claiming greyzone isn't a significant gain

USA is democratic and had decent law enforcement system, but Hunter Biden isn't in jail despite smoking crack while driving 150 miles an hour while filming himself. So we can't know anything. Obviously Russia is corrupt, but I find it weird to use as an argument because we can't really measure corruption and all estimations are based on randomly things. So I find it weird to use as an argument 3) So American ideology is facsism because they have biggest military spendings on Earth? Do you think Israel is also fascist since they even drafting women? Saying that Russia is facsist because they're militaristic is the same as calling all dog owners evil because Hitler also loved dogs 4) Where are you from? I'm just curious if your country was ever in war in your life time. Did anything changed for you after "black packages" started arriving? In a year Russia roughly lost the same amount of people as they loose in car crushes. And Russians used to spikes in prices since 2014 5) Well, Russia evacuated a 100k from Kherson alone. And other cities were captured too quickly for many people to drive away, so I'm not sure where have you found info about 2/3 of population, but I'd love to read about it. According to BBC sponsored Mediazona, which has actual data from cementeries and social media - Russia lost 26k soldiers in total. Plus we don't know how many out of those 500k people, who left Russia, came back. Because every year around 30 million people leave Russia and come back. So your estimations are highly likely way off 6) Indeed, many Russian stopped liking Prigozhin because of that. I find everything about this mutiny extremely stupid 7) Well, I guess, they're at war now, so it seems logical to teach teenagers about war a bit more 8) Yeah, with weapons and not. Do you think it would be ok for Yanukovich to let police to fire at will at any protestor in 2013? According to UN 80% of civilian casualties since 2014 were on rebel controlled territory. I think it's wrong to kill people who only want freedom. So in my eyes it would be wrong for Russia to take Kiev, just like it would be wrong for Ukraine to capture Crimea 9) Russia does the same. And I don't like this war too. But I also don't like what Ukraine was doing in Donbas and how everyone pretends that Ukraine is innocent and did nothing wrong 10) I agree completely. Do you also think that Ukraine shouldn't have bombed anyone and shouldn't attack now to take back regions to "protect" civilians? Yeah, it's nice to argue with someone who actually has an opinion and can explain it

  394.  @ThuHtetAung-f3v  where is the "debunking" part? He said that people refer to armoured columns as "meat waves", but it's the opposite of "meat wave". So what's your point? What's his point?
    2
  395. He's literally quoting Ukrainian soldiers
    2
  396. It's a disaster because they lost third of their best equipment and haven even touched first like of Russian defenses. And if you have huge looses, have to attack against overwhelming artillery and aviation across an enormous minefield - you're fucked. In Kherson Russia had low supplies and Ukraine won in the end. In Kharkiv Russia barely had troops and Ukraine won with ez. But now Russia is well prepared. I don't see how something can suddenly change
    2
  397. According to BBC sponsored Mediazona - Russia lost 39k soldiers in entire war. And they have actual data, unlike random propaganda
    2
  398. Mediazona counts Russian casualties. Don't know about similar thing for Ukraine

  399. According to one inaccurate map. In reality Ukraine haven't took back any settlements Russia captured there

  400.  @GVL42069  according to pro western novayagazeta in 2022 Russia makes 250 new tanks and upgrades 600 old tanks per year, according to Putin in 2023 Russia will make and upgrade 1500 tanks. Compare it to USA making 15 abrams per year or Germany making 14 leopard 2s and upgrading 88 leopard 1 per year. So even lowest estimation shows that Russia heavily outproduces NATO I never said that Kremlin tells the truth. I said that there's no way to determine who lost certain soviet made tank in most of the cases. If you're seeing a corpse of destroyed t72 - how can you know that it's Russian but not Ukrainian? "Ukraine doesn't have supply issues" - lol, if that was true, Ukraine wouldn't be so terribly outgunned. NATO can't even give them more than 3k shells per day, while Russia using around 20k. And majority of NATO countries admitted that they completely run out of things to send to Ukraine without taking weapons from existing units. Also if NATO had plenty of equipment to send to them - they would standardized their supplies, instead of sending dozen of different tank versions and make Ukrainian logistics more difficult. Do you think it's easy for them to operate soviet tanks, EU made soviet tanks, Leopard 1, leopard 2, challenger and Abrams while they all require different spare parts, training and maintaining crews? Stop acting retarded please
    2
  401. Zelensky said it. According to him and his defence minister - Ukraine looses around 200 dead per day, so it's 600-800 wounded. Every night Russia hits training centers, so sometimes those numbers should be higher

  402.  @victorpetchenev4119  с чего ты взял? Какой смысл вообще этим заниматься, вызывать недовольство населения, тратить силы и деньги на подобное? Слушай, а если бы такое в России началось, то ты бы тоже говорил, что желающих Родину защищать полно, а так только 0.01% пакуют?

  403. Yt channel Redeffect is a tank geek and talks about Ukrainian and Russian tank losses and duels, also made a nice video exposing lazerpig lies about armata But mostly telegram channels post Ukrainian losses. Greyzone - Wagner non official channel, posts photos and videos plus criticise Russian government and pretty objective Повёрнутые на Z войне - very pro Russian channel and posts tons of videos of ukrainian destroyed equipment and rocket strikes on their land Rybar - makes great maps and analysis, DPA yt channel uses them a lot in his videos because of their accuracy Kotsnews, старше Эдды also worth to be mentioned, they give nice analysis and post videos

  404. He's negative towards Russia when they fail, same goes for Ukraine 1) What do you mean by "meat attacks"? Standard small groups tactics which both sides use? Or do you mean armoured columns, which is the opposite of "meat attacks" ? 2)Zelensky said that in 2024 Ukraine aims to produce 1 million drones. The minister of defense of Russia said in summer that Russia is making 4000 drones per day, which is 1.3m per year already. You can take it with a grain of salt, but many Ukrainian commanders told that Russia has more drones than Ukraine, tho maybe it's the matter of perception 3) Both sides have been blowing up each other's ammo depots since day 1, Russia is still outproducing the entire NATO in artillery shells. So even if the Russian advantage decreases, they will still terribly outgun Ukraine.
    2
  405.  @triniton8262  1) Any attack can fail and everything is a "death corridor" in this war, considering that entire frontline is observed by drones. Do you think Ukraine tries to attack the same treeline only once? Do you think Ukraine used "meat waves" in Robotne or everywhere where Russia can hit their supply routes? 2) No, Zelensky said that Ukraine can produce 4m drones per year, doesn't mean that they're producing 4 million drones. He also said that Ukraine ordered 1.7m drones, doesn't mean that they will be able to make this many drones tho 3) Every bit of extra ammo helps, but Russia is outproducing NATO alone
    2
  406.  @miriamweller812  do you remember name of this merc or where can i find his interview? Tos 1 got range of 6km or so, so it's weird that there was Ukrainian camp there. I saw news about Russia making same thermobaric rockets with range around 100km, but haven't seen reports of Russia using them. And i would also be very interested to hear how much damage tos 1 actually does
    2
  407.  @alvaro701  if they wre doing human waves - they would have had a lot more progress per day "Politico" in December 8 stated that Russia still has 10 to 1 advantage in artillery fire. Pentagon also was saying that Russia fired 10 times more shells per day than Ukraine at the start of the war. In general, Russia has more artillery pieces than entire NATO
    2
  408.  @wolfvale7863  they can't have same casualties since one side has huge artillery advantage, while artillery and other bombs causes 80% of casualties in any war Western media reported that 20 our of 30 countries completely run out of things to sent to Ukraine. According to Ukranian officials - Ukraine lost 50% of their heavy equipment in the summer, while all NATO supplies only covered 15% of their losses. And according to nytimes - third of NATO howitzers are damaged and need repair (who knows how many are destroyed). According to CNN - USA is running out of ammo to sent to Ukraine, US sent almost 1 million 155mm rounds to Ukraine in total, despite making only 80k per year, so it's 12 years of production. And according to nytimes again - 20 out of 30 NATO countries completely run out of things to send to Ukraine According to Ukranian deputy of minister of defence in summer - Ukraine lost 50% of their heavy equipment, while all NATO supplies only covered 15% of their losses. According to Washington post and their interview with Ukrainian soldiers from Kherson offensive - Ukraine was loosing at least 5 times more soldiers than Russia during those attacks. According to Ukranian minister of defence Zaluzhni in latest interview - he has 2 well equipped brigades and he needs thousands of pieces of heavy equipment to do anything. Usa makes 80k 155mm shells per year, while Ukraine uses this amount per month and all western media are agreeing that NATO is running out of equipment and ammo to supply Ukraine with. And few weeks ago there was a video of Russia bringing extra 200 t90 to the front, that's equal to total amount of tanks Germany has. Plus Ukraine stated that Russia makes 40-60 cruise missiles (not including islander) per month, while USA makes 250 patriot missiles per year according to Lockheed Martin. West doesn't have a lot of things to sent to Ukraine anymore
    2
  409.  @wolfvale7863  since india was buying m777 - obviously they will buy Excalibur because it's 155mm, while russian long range (120km) shells are 300mm like 9м542. And for smaller range (25km) is krasnopol with 152mm. Obviously for 155mm barrel of m777 they will choose Excalibur which is better than krasnopol in range and fits the gun perfectly. It has nothing to do with "glonass shells" And no, Ukraine won't get more lethal because USA doesn't have a lot of precise shells left. Around 6000 Excaliburs were made in total, 1500 were already fired by NATO and USA sends around 500 of them per month. And it will take years to increase their production
    2
  410.  @wolfvale7863  Russia has plenty of kalibr, x101, iskander and other rockets with far larger range (500-5000km). As for himars - Russia has smerch and tornado s with same range and accuracy if they use 9м542 rocket for example. Everything NATO can give you Ukraine - Russia has in far larger quantities and similar/better quality
    2
  411.  @wolfvale7863  it's not about artillery piece itself, but about ammo they're using. 9m542 and 9М544 for tornado s and smerch are very accurate (5m radius compared to 3m of himars rockets) Iskander is expensive, but can hit any target on Ukrainian territory "Ukraine doesn't running out if ammo" According to CNN - USA is running out of ammo to sent to Ukraine, US sent almost 1 million 155mm rounds to Ukraine in total, despite making only 80k per year, so it's 12 years of production. And yes, they will increase production of many things in 2025 and Ukraine will never completely run out of ammo, but their equipment is fading every month Btw, according to Ukranian deputy of minister of defence in summer - Ukraine lost 50% of their heavy equipment, while all NATO supplies only covered 15% of their losses. Since then NATO help reduced
    2
  412.  @Cazanu417  they aren't storming Bahmut, they are taking village by village around it as carefully as possible. You do realise that entire Donbas is a fortress that Ukraine was building up for 8 years, right? It takes time to kill enemies USA sent 1 million dumb 155mm artillery shells and only 4200 precise 155mm Excalibur shells. You know why? Because USA made like 7000 of them in total and it's impossible to only use precise ammo in full scale war Drones are useless against bunkers, artillery is still a king of war
    2
  413. You can't retrieve the body if you're being pushed back. There's a reason why the body exchange between Ukraine and Russia is like 900 to 50. Also a large chunk of Ukrainian casualties in Krinky were on the Ukrainian side of the river
    2
  414. ​ @dyremose  you can cause high attrition on an enemy who terribly outguns you when your fortifications are garbage "To make sure that Russia will stay on the offensive" - ahhhh, it's not like Russia was slowing down in the last 8 months or so. You don't need to force the attacking side to keep attacking
    2
  415. "methodically destroy their logistics" - do you realize that Russia has 10 times more artillery than Ukraine? Any slow grind, any logistics destruction benefits Russia greatly due to sheer amount of fire power
    2
  416. Расскажи, как это в теории возможно. Лодки украинцев топили на входе и на выходе из Крынок, сами солдаты месяцев 8 сидели в подвалах под фабами на крохотном участке земли и ничего не могли сделать. Русские солдаты в этот момент не делали практически ничего опасного: сидели в лесах по окопам и несколько раз на БМП туда въезжали
    2
  417. According to who? Ukrainian war propaganda?
    2
  418.  @dragvs  we were talking about ratio between amount of Russian and Ukrainian tanks, not Wagner. And if you haven't noticed: Wagner, Russian soldiers and civilians all didn't wanted it to escalate to bloodshed. No wonder Wagner just walked into Rostov, cos noone wanted to fight them, just like Wagner didn't wanted to fight Russian army. And it's not like they actually could fight Russian army without supplies from them
    2
  419.  @Marrothefirst  indeed. And HL laughs at both sides when they fail and gives credit when it's deserved
    2
  420. Ukraine gained ground last fall because Russia barely had troops there with little to no defences. Back then Ukraine could have had many failed attacks and capture ground, but here it's a lot more complicated for them. Ukraine losing 10% of their Bradleys and leopard 2s without achieving anything is horrible for them
    2
  421. Winning is the process. And it can take a lot of time against the biggest country in Europe supported the largest military alliance on earth
    2
  422. Russia still controls all villages they took there. Ukraine haven't pushed them back. Just because unreliable pro Ukrainian map painted this breakthrough as a greyzone - doesn't mean that there's no bridgehead there
    2
  423. Slowly winning is better than slowly losing, don't you think?
    2
  424. They have less equipment in their storages, but it doesn't mean that they have shortages of equipment in their active units I also don't know if Russia will do something. But Ukraine haven't received new equipment in like half a year, they wasted tons of equipment in summer offensive and NATO's attention is on Israel right now. So situation for Russia looks really good at the moment
    2
  425.  @ashapuhin72  they use t55 as extra artillery and for extra defence because t55 has different calibre than their modern tanks and artillery. That's why you won't see t55 in assaults like Avdiivka one for example. If you were Russia - would you let one of the most produced tanks in history and it's ammo to rot in storages for no reason or would you send it to infantry divisions just to give them an extra cannon? Btw, when Ukraine receiving t55 too, does it mean that entire NATO has run out of tanks?
    2
  426.  @mariuszcieslak3667  exactly, that's why statistics is quite useless. You can say that the ruble fell 50% in a month or 50% in 10 years and you will be right both times, depending on the date you chose
    2
  427. With the same speed Ukraine will reach Tokmak in 3 years btw

  428. By "free russians" you mean few hundred russian nazis from azov battalion who crossed the border, got destroyed and run away?
    2
  429. Why NATO haven't "used their fire power" to protect "freedom, wives and children" of people of Donbas when Ukraine was bombing them all those years?
    2
  430.  @ayrnovem9028  oryx is indeed propaganda website and we as viewers can't tell for sure if certain destroyed tank is Ukrainian or Russian. But even they admitted that Ukraine lost at least 7 leopard 2s and 17 Bradleys. So actual Ukrainian losses are sure higher
    2
  431. Ukraine is also committing reserves and also loose tons of artillery. But Russia terribly outguns them in artillery and aviation. Biden said that USA sending cluster ammo because they run out of 155mm shells to send to Ukraine. Russia also has cluster shells and they're a lot more effective at killing advancing troops than people who sit in trenches Ukraine can indeed take trenches here and there. It's inevitable when you're attacking, but they're loosing huge amount of soldiers while doing it. For comparison according to BBC sponsored Mediazona (which uses actual data from cementeries and social media, unlike random estimations) - Russia currently loosing 50 soldiers a week. Just imagine Ukrainian losses during their humane waves assaults and tell me with the straight face that it's sustainable for them and that's it's a reliable strategy to recapture all land Russia took. For me it's clear that Ukraine can't defeat Russia anywhere where Russia actually has troops to guard frontline (unlike in Kharkiv for example). And considering small Russian losses - Russia also isn't even close to committing all their reserves because they simply don't have to Russia haven't used Kerch bridge to transport military equipment in awhile. They have ferries, ships, new regions and planes to deliver anything they want. And btw trains still can move through that bridge too. Also before Russia built this bridge they were only using boats and planes to supply Crimea, while supplying their army in Syria. Plus Russian logistics can't struggle more than Ukrainian because they have more weapons with longer range than Ukraine will ever have. I'm curious, if Russia blew up bridges across Dnepr, would you also say "it's over for Ukraine, their army should fall back to western side of Dnepr, they're basically encircled and their logistics is dead"?
    2
  432.  @timverrecchia1654  "especially since Russia blew up a dam" - you probably haven't knew about it, but after Russia took Crimea in 2014, Ukraine dammed river that was supplying 80% of fresh water to the region deliberately trying to starve 2 million people. And Russia loved with that problem until 2022. So even if blowed up dam in Kahovka causes lack of water in Crimea (I haven't heard about it, so I'll take your words for truth) - Russia will have no problems dealing with it again And if you believe that destroyed dam is pain in Russian ass - it means that Russia had literally zero reason to blow it up, don't you think? At least they could have waited until Ukraine tries their d day to wash them all off to the sea. Ukraine, on other hand, actually had reasons to blow up dam before Russia. So why do you believe that Russia did it, since it was pointless and harmful for them? Himars can't hit moving targets and again, Russia wasn't using this bridge for military equipment in awhile. Their supply routes were always under Ukrainian pressure Also we don't know where Russia stores ammo before send it to Ukraine. So until they do that through Southern regions like Caucasus - moving supplies through Crimea takes longer and makes no sense
    2
  433. Why should frontline move rapidly? Russia has huge advantage in fire power, it would be foolish not to use it Ukraine shooting down few planes once in half a year doesn't change anything. Just like Ukraine receiving few 50yo planes doesn't change anything. Russia still has huge advantage in aviation and there's nothing NATO can do about it
    2
  434. Russia can build equipment and has huge stockpiles of it. While Ukraine is relying on other countries. So loosing 100 tanks for Russia isn't a big deal, but Ukraine may never get more
    2
  435.  @terjeoseberg990  Russia still makes their own submarines, Borei, for example. Also why do you think Russia can't repair it? "Majority of Russian weapon manufacturing was in Ukraine, not in Russia" - that's a made up lie. Uralwagonzavod which made 4 out of 5 most produced tanks in history is in Russia. Kalashnikov factory that made multiple most produced rifles in history is also in Russia. What exactly are you referring to? Russia can make their own computer chips in Russia, they are a lot worse than modern ones, but it's totally enough to make weapons. They can also buy them from other countries because no-one can stop parallel export "Old outdated military equipment" - what's better than leopard 2, challenger 2, Abrams, himars, stormshadow, Bradley, patriot, iris t etc? Just because western equipment is also old - doesn't mean that they have better equipment in any decent quantities "Old NATO equipment inherently better than soviet equipment" - what are you referring to? Old soviet c300 still have better range and speed than modern western air defence systems. Western tanks still can be destroyed by soviet tanks and vise versa. So what western soviet era piece of equipment are you referring to, that doesn't have equal soviet analogue ?
    2
  436.  @terjeoseberg990  that's not an argument. You have no clue what Russia can or cannot buy, you can't make famous Ukrainian military factories, you can't even name old NATO equipment that's superior to soviet equipment. Your assumptions are based on nothing
    2
  437. 1) Russia makes their own tanks and doesn't rely on someone else to repair them, plus they have tons of them. So losing a tank for Ukraine is significant, while losing it for Russia isn't 2) 3 guys in a tanks are a lot safer than 3 guys in open field with AK. And they will deal a lot more damage to enemies. So yeah, Russian armoured losses are high, but it has nothing to do with casualties 2) "Organized retreat like Bahmut" - what? They were fighting for every home even when last remaining supply road was few shelled by Russian atgms. Soldiers were running away on foot . It's not organised retreat 3) "Ukraine is slowly bleeding Russian army". So, if they bled Russian army in Bahmut and during summer offensive - why can Russia attack now, but Ukraine cannot? Maybe it's other way around since Russia has huge advantage in fire power? Btw, according to Mediazona Russia lost 36k people in entire war, which is 60 soldiers per day. Compare it to Zelensky himself admitting that during defense of Severodonetsk Ukraine was losing 200-300 soldiers per day. So if Ukraine was only defending, while Russia was only attacking - they would have still lost less soldiers than Ukraine. Simply because they use more armour and more artillery shells. Quote from Mediazona: "So far, the battle for Avdiivka, which experts often called the “second Bakhmut,” referencing to the place of the heaviest fighting last winter, doesn’t affect our count significantly. We do find some obituaries of soldiers who died there, mostly assault and motorised rifle units, but the death toll is far from the one in Bakhmut." Btw, during attack on Bahmut Russia was losing 80-120 soldiers per day. So why do you think that tens of thousands of tons of bombs that Russia drops on Avdiivka are bleeding Russia, but not Ukraine?
    2
  438. Except that the Kursk cauldron was shrinking for half a year before Trump got in power. Ukraine deciding to stop the gas flow from Sudzha was the deciding factor there
    2
  439.  @aaroncabatingan5238  not by surprise, Russia had prepared lines of defense around Kremina and Ukraine haven't pushed an inch behind them, despite having huge manpower advantage
    2
  440.  @PonutsAreGreat  after official burial or after social media post. Even if you multiple this number by 2 - Ukraine still lost a lot more. Zelensky said that Ukraine was loosing 200-300 soldiers per day during defence of Severodonetsk. So if Ukraine was only defending - they would have lost at least 110k (200 soldiers per day in 550 days)

  441. @PhilippKasimov  Нет никаких реальных данных о потерях Украины в миллион человек убитыми. Пропаганда с обоих сторон врёт и не краснеет

  442. The Russian economy is growing faster than any G7 member. Are you implying that Putin will cosplay Gorbachev and will say "take as much power as you can handle" ?
    2
  443.  @ravenblood1954  why do you think they can't supply their troops if they fire 60k shells per day? Compare it to 30k NATO sends to Ukraine in a month. If that isn't good enough logistics for you, then what is?
    2
  444.  @ravenblood1954  Russia isn't taking heavy casualties because they mostly sitting in tanks and artillery while DNR, LNR and Wagner are doing heavy lifting. Mobilisation shows that many contract soldiers who were fighting in Ukraine got their paychecks, finished their contacts and came back to Russia. They do in fact have a lot less soldiers than at the start of the war, but it doesn't mean that they have lost many people due. Especially since they weren't baldly pushing like they did at the start of the war
    2
  445.  @Marrothefirst  Ukraine dammed the river to Crimea, that supplies 80% of freshwater to the region, deliberately trying to starve 2 million people. Zelensky threatened to build nukes on Munich conference. Ukraine kept bombing Donbas civilians despite Minsk agreement. And also Angela Merkel, Hollande, Poroshenko and Zelensky all admitted that Minsk agreement was made to rearm Ukraine for future wars, instead of stopping the war in Donbas. So no, it's not just random war of expansion Russia never threatened to use nukes. Every time someone asked Putin questions about it - he always replied "read our nuclear doctrine", which clearly states that Russia can only use nukes as an answer on someone else's nukes or if existence of Russia itself is at risk (aka enemies are sieging Moscow) Hypocrisy is what's wrong with globalism. USA can invade any country at any time, steal someone's money, sanction any country into oblivion for disobeying, blow up gas pipelines, cripple their "allies" economies and prolong or start wars with no repercussions. But as soon as someone does anything west doesn't like - it's suddenly a threat to entire humanity, democracy and must be stop immediately
    2
  446. ​ @Boom.Desjardins  so buying weapons is the same as "begging" ? Ok
    2
  447.  @Boom.Desjardins  entire NATO can't scramble enough equipment to make them on par with Russia. And USA also bought ammo from South Korea Japan and Israel, I guess they're also not a super power according to you. Btw, do you think a country that outproduces the strongest military alliance on earth isn't a super power?
    2
  448.  @Boom.Desjardins  why aren't you on the frontline driving leopard 1 ? And you forgot to answer if you consider the USA a super power despite the fact that they had to buy ammo from South Korea, Japan and Israel, while still not having enough to make Ukraine on par with Russia
    2
  449.  @artiefakt4402  in war of attrition - yes, totally ok. As long as Ukraine loosing a lot more soldiers than Russia - Russia is winning because they can fight longer than Ukraine can. Especially since NATO barely spends them equipment
    2
  450. That's the whole point of having stockpiles - use older equipment while expanding the production of new equipment. And now Russia is outproducing the entire NATO combined. Is there a reason why Russia shouldn't upgrade and use old tanks? Ukraine also uses leopard 1 And even if Russia completely ran out of older equipment tomorrow - they would still have more modern equipment on the battlefield than Ukraine. Simply because Russian production exceeds Ukrainian supplies greatly.
    2
  451. Kiev post, business insider and France 24 reported on it. If you know something that those journalists don't - feel free to argue with them. Or just prefer to cover your ears and avoid any information that you dislike? According to New York Times and mediazona - Russia had 7500 cases of AWOL, in comparison to 100k of Ukraine. There's nothing to talk about really, whatever bad things happen in the Russian army - they aren't as bad as the Ukrainian situation and don't affect the situation in the frontline. And what's your issue with Russia getting aid from North Korea? USA also used their allies in invasions of the middle east. Btw, what "lie after lie" are you referring to? He's literally quoting western media and Ukrainian soldiers. Yeah, you can live in an echo chamber where Ukraine is marching to Moscow, while Russia is losing a bizilion men in nano sec, but it doesn't mean that the situation in Ukraine isn't deteriorating every month

  452. In Germany all soldiers are called officers. Just like police officers in USA. It's just a respectful way of saying "soldiers"

  453. ​ @koloraider  1) Russian claims are a few pro Russian regions joining Russia and Ukraine not inviting foreign armies on their land without Russian permission 2) USA leaving their proxies (Vietnam, Afghanistan) before had no effect on anything. Locals just stopped dying under NATO bombs 3) Putin hasn't invaded a single country that wasn't bombing civilians at Russian borders. Is there a particular reason why you believe that Putin will randomly attack NATO? 4) Sending more people to die in a war doesn't help them survive. Unlike negotiations
    2
  454. 1) There are no trenches in Robotne itself, only in Southern borders of it, which Russia hold and they have fire control over Robotne because it's in low ground. Maybe you're confusing counter attack to capture Robotne with reinforcements to destroy Ukrainians inside it 2) Trench south of Robotne is indeed north of Novoprokopivka, but it allows them to kill everyone in Robotne 3) It's one out of 5 defensive lines before Tokmak. And they only breached it in small section of front. This part of defensive line is in low ground, just like Verbove itself. 4,5) Of course Ukraine will capture land here and there, since they have been trying to do that for 3 months. But as commentator above stated - they will need multiple years of constant attacks to reach azov sea with the same speed. They're already mobilizing female medics and asked Poland to return their males to Poland, do you really think that few kilometres of empty fields and tiny villages worth those losses?

  455. Russia is shrinking the salient with Ukrainian elites in Kursk every month. Is there a particular reason why they should be in a hurry instead of keeping evaporating Ukrainian elites brigades there while the Donbas frontline is collapsing?

  456.  @Boom.Desjardins  of course he won't because Ukraine haven't regained anything. Just because pro Ukrainian map painted it as greyzone - doesn't mean that Russia doesn't control those villages. You're welcome for this sacred knowledge

  459.  @rocketman4123  where did you read this nonsense about their air defence systems? There's a list of their equipment on wiki, they had air defence systems from the Vietnam era and 50s, they physically couldn't reach American planes. And Iraq is an open plane desert with little river and cover, don't even compare it to Ukraine So when the American enemy is supplied with modern weapons - they're losing, but when they fight against goat farmers - they're winning. USA fought with allies, in total they lost 340k dead. Russia lost 54k dead including PMCs and prisoners
    1
  460.  @rocketman4123  no, because Iraqi air defence systems couldn't shoot at high as American planes could fly. Have you checked the wiki page equipment in the gulf war? Yes or no. "Russia can't take them down either" - is this why USA never carpet bombed Syria with B2 bombers after they received c300? Why haven't NATO sent Ukraine stealth planes instead of f16? Eltsin decided to stop the war before elections, it has nothing to do with winning or losing, considering that after elections Russia destroyed the separatists 54k is according to mediazona, which uses actual data from cemeteries and social media, unlike random propaganda or weird math
    1
  461. ​ @rocketman4123  I'll make it even more specific. What Iraqi air defence systems could reach f15, which can fly at 20km height?
    1
  462.  @rocketman4123  so the only air defence system that could hit American planes was made in 1957 and it only had a range of 40km. Doesn't sound that hard to deal with
    1
  463.  @rocketman4123  sa-3s has a range of 30km. Both air defence systems you mentioned can be destroyed with fabs. Ukraine had s300 systems with a range of 200km, which is more than patriot and Ukraine had 300 of those launchers. On top of tons of other air defence systems. It's not hard to fight a country that can't hit you back while you're flying above their territory. Especially since Iraq didn't have thousands of NATO satellites to see every American movement.

  466.  @kkivela  "On April 14, 2015, then-Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced that Canada would deploy around 200 armed forces personnel to Ukraine to develop and deliver military training and military capacity-building programs for Ukrainian forces" - quote from Washington post. Are you banned in Google or something? I'll repeat myself. All Russian men went through at least 1 year of training when they were 18yo, Russia has standard yearly conscription and military training. When those already trained men got mobilized - they were trained for extra months before being sent to Ukraine. And after they got sent to Ukraine - Russians were defending and doing nothing for a year before starting small offensive operations here and there. The only people who haven't received months of extra training (on top of that 1 year when they were 18) were either truck drivers or people who served in Russian contract army for years already. Simple enough for you? Again, why do you think that Russia loses more soldiers than Ukraine? Every single piece of equipment Ukraine received has equal or superior Russian analogues in larger quantities. For himars Russia has tornado s with the same accuracy and range, for example. "Russian tanks are from the last millennium" - just like western tanks? Abrams is from 80s, leopard 2 is from 70s and challenger is from 90s. What's your point again?

  467.  @kkivela  you said that NATO haven't trained Ukrainian soldiers, but Canada did trained them and Canada is one of the founding members of NATO. So why are you arguing about it? Are you saying that Canadians are bad instructors or something? And what it has to do with rebels? Russian students have an army delay while they're studying. And if you went to one of the best universities and you were one of the best students - you will only serve for a few months instead of a year What Ukrainian piece of equipment doesn't have equal or superior Russian analogue? Well, maybe except for bayraktars, but they were all wiped out within a few months anyway. Russia has it's own chip production inside Russia, those chips are just worse than western ones To be honest, idea of stealing a toilet and taking shit in comfort in your trench doesn't sound that crazy to me

  468. Russia and Ukraine are the only countries with experience against modern opponents, they're the strongest armies at the moment Land is irrelevant in a war, it's about the destruction of the enemy army. If your opponent does have an army - you can take as much land as you want later. After 2 years of war Ukraine is already low on manpower and has no volunteers. Imagine the state of Ukraine in another 2 years if they're already crying about having no reserves left. Any war ever ended with peace negotiations, that's how the Ukrainian war will end too. It doesn't mean that Putin is desperate for being realistic about Ukrainian ability to continue this war

  472. 1200 according to who? Blatant and obvious war propaganda about enemy losses, which only an idiot could believe in? "Ukraine will be on the offensive with new weapons" - Ukraine received much less money and weapons this year than before their failed summer offensive. What are you on about? USA also buys ammo from South Korea, Japan and Israel. Is this pathetic too? Ukraine also used mercs since day 1. France has entire foreign legion. And USA gives citizenship for military service. Is this also a disgrace?

  473. Ukraine had almost as much of artillery and tanks than entire EU combined. They had biggest army in EU and 8 years of fighting experience for many soldiers. They were trained by NATO all those 8 years. They were gifted many NATO weapons. And NATO intelligence is helping them with advises and finding targets using NATO satellites. You can't compare it to any war before And yes, in ww2 frontline was moving faster due to amount of soldiers and blitzkrieg against soldiers that couldn't stop tanks. Russia did the same in first few days and captured equivalent of Great Britain. But it was too costly manpower wise. And since Putin doesn't want to call it a war - he decided to bombard Ukranians and push slowly with minimum losses
    1
  474.  @newyorkeranew  why is my statement about tanks and artillery of EU is a canard? Guy above mentioned "third world country" while vast majority of "first world" barely has any army. Ukraine is indeed weaker than USA, China, India and Turkey, but when it comes to richest countries - it has big advantage in army "Limited and archaic" - just like majority of first worlds army's equipment. Abrams was created in 80s, just like javelin, but they are still used by richest country in the world. T72 isn't that older that Abrams to suddenly call it archaic
    1
  475.  @newyorkeranew  majority of first world countries are indeed in EU "Soviet era with upgrades" - yeah, just like Abrams or t72. You can't know how upgraded Ukranian tanks were Well, Russia can either Rush B into Ukranian territories and loose tons of manpower or slowly bomb them and push only when Ukrainians are forced to retreat (like with Lysychansk). And since amount of artillery is the biggest Russian advantage - that's a valid strategy I don't remember when was the last time 2 countries fought with modern equipment on each side. Vietnam, when first military in the world was loosing ground every year?

  477.  @evanburgess8428  public doesn't know that Russia outnumberes Ukraine in artillery 15 to 1, according to Ukrainian officials. They don't know that artillery and other bombs causing 80% of casualties in any war. Public doesn't understand that "wonder weapons" NATO sends has superior/equal analogues on Russian side in far larger quantities. Public haven't read Washington post and their interview with Ukrainian soldiers from Kherson offensive and their statement that Russia looses 1 soldier for every 5 Ukrainians. Have you forgotten about joke "we thought that Russian army is second strongest, but in reality they are second strongest in Ukraine"? People indeed don't realise how bad situation is for Ukraine and their army

  478.  @ezragoldberg3132  before mobilization Russian soldiers could have left military with fat paycheck at any time, while also getting "veteran" trait. I can believe that Russia "lost" 60k men (cos they left), as Ukraine claims, but I don't believe that Russia lost more than 10k dead. So yeah, it was necessary to stop soldiers from leaving the frontline and increase size of an army in general, because according to Russian sources - Ukraine had 8 times more soldiers in Kharkov area. You can't win war if enemies terribly outnumber you Btw, what's dishonest about my artillery take? Quote me

  486. What Ukrainian piece of equipment doesn't have equal or superior Russian analogue in larger quantities? How is Russian doctrine bad, considering that Russia encircled Mariupol Lysychansk Severodonetsk Bahmut and Avdiivka, while Ukraine haven't managed to encircle Russia even once? Ukraine received tons of supplies from entire NATO. Biden himself admitted that US doesn't have anymore artillery ammo to send to Ukraine from existing stockpiles because they're so low. And majority of NATO countries admitted that they can't send anymore heavy equipment without taking it from active units And wdym " they can't stop Ukrainians" - they did stop them with ez in the summer. It's not like Russia is focused on gaining ground either, the entire war they focused on encircling cities and bombing Ukrainian troops into oblivion

  488. Russia has plenty of vehicles in storage, they don't rely on anyone. While Ukraine may never get leopard 2 again and they need to send it 500km away from the frontline for repairs

  489.  @cswizzle1890  you're confusing "relying" and "getting extra". You can always have more drones, more artillery shells, more everything. But Ukraine can't make anything on their own except for drones and few rockets a year. If NATO won't send them tanks/artillery/ammo - they won't have tanks/artillery/ammo.
    1
  490.  @cswizzle1890  "Ukraine is literally making drones" - and I literally said they do. Just like Russia makes their own lancets. That's why I said "Ukraine can't making anything on their own EXCEPT for drones and few rockets a year", have you even read my comment? Since you can barely read I'll make it very simple for you. If Russia stops buying ammo and drones - they will still supply drones and ammo to frontline, but in lesser quantities. But if Ukraine stops receiving tanks, ammo, artillery, drones, rockets, mines, bullets etc - they will not make anything on their own, they will not supply frontline with anything and they will completely run out of equipment within months. Do you see the difference between relying on someone and getting extra?

  491. It's physically impossible to keep enough soldiers at the border itself to defend against 6000 soldiers driving down the road. So of course Ukraine was able to push and then was pushed back when reinforcements arrived. Do you think US also can't protect it's own borders since hundreds of thousands of people cross their borders illegally without even being armed ?

So Russia definitely lost less than 50k, even we double reported casualties. While pretty much every Ukrainian ally admitted that Ukraine lost 100k + dead
    1
  498.  @_xoma_-yo2zf  you can train for a decade to be great against fighting goat farmers, but it's nothing compared to actual experience against modern opponent. What will the American army do right now if someone sends thousands of fpv drones to them? What will they do if enemies have an ability to strike them anywhere with great precision? What will they do against the enemy who can see all their movements? What will they do if the enemy denies their air force with great anti air systems? Iraq had non-upgraded equipment from the Vietnam era. They air defence systems couldn't reach American planes, their tanks couldn't see American tanks. It wasn't even close because Iraq couldn't hit them. And the USA lost against the same equipment in Vietnam plus 10k planes and helicopters. USA does have a great military, but right now they wouldn't do anything on the Ukrainian battlefield because their tanks are still vulnerable to drones, their artillery shells production is much lower than Russian, their planes wouldn't be able to fly anywhere near the frontline and they would barely have drones themselves. Tho it would change after some time of course
    1
  499.  @_xoma_-yo2zf  if you look at the mapping of the Vietnam war - you will see that the USA was losing ground every year. When you're losing for 20 years straight it's not about support draining "Older tanks are back in service" and "Russian tanks aren't well maintained" are the opposite things. Or Soviet tanks had such a great design that they can be easily repaired after decades. Not my area of expertise "The same old stuff Iraq had" - no, I specifically said non upgraded tanks . 50yo tank with modern upgrades is a modern tank, 50yo tank without any upgrades is a metal coffin. T72 is only a few years older than Abrams btw, but with some visors and dynamic armour those are great tanks. And yes, Russia lost plenty of tanks, they will lose a lot more of them too. Because no-one figured out how to reliably counter drones on a big scale. Including USA. Yeah, there are some systems that can shoot at incoming targets, but they haven't been used on large scale by anyone yet for whatever reason

And majority of artillery and tanks are cheap and easy to make. 70 howitzers for people who don't know how to use them properly is nothing comparable to 18000 artillery pieces that Russia has. Surely majority of it is pretty old and worse than howitzers, but it's enough to destroy cities and kill soldiers

  505. @Erwin_von_Krazer  so what dynasty Ivan the Terrible belongs to? What dynasty ruled Kiev? How has Kievan Rus' been formed? We indeed don't have much info from that period of time, but all we know about it is that there was a guy named Rurick who ruled Novgorod, captured Kiev, formed a country named by historians Kievan Rus' , had a bunch of children who ruled those lands and that later his descendants called themselves Tsars of all of Russia Does anyone have any other theory of what was happening there before? Or does anyone think that Novgorod hasn't captured Kiev? How did Novgorod and Kiev become the same country then? Or maybe someone claimed that they never were in the same country during this period of time?

  506. What gains? Ukraine was sending their best troops for slauther in Krinky for 2 months and nothing has changed

  507.  @zmkc1945  according to Mediazona currently Russia is losing a lot less troops than during Bahmut offensive. And back then they were losing 100 soldiers per day in all fronts combined Also there's zero evidence that Russia lost hundreds of pieces of equipment. We just know that there are hundreds of pieces of equipment laying around Avdiivka, which was the frontline since 2014 Also, how many people do you think Ukraine has lost in Avdiivka, considering terrible Russian advantage in fire power?
    1
  508.  @zmkc1945  it's almost impossible to determine who certain piece of soviet made equipment belongs to. What's the difference between some BMP that was laying there since 2014 and new one? What's the difference between "most experts" and Scott Ritter? They have have no data. Mediazona is the only one with actual data and by their own admission - Russia losing in Avdiivka less than in Bahmut. And back in Bahmut they were losing around 100 per day in entire frontline

  513. Russians can easily withdraw money from banks, who told you this nonsense? We haven't seen a single proof of North Koreans being anywhere near Ukraine Russian losses are far lower than Ukrainian due to the huge Russian advantage in fire power Not sure what Chechen alliance are you referring to, but Chechnya is part of Russia and votes for Putin overwhelmingly Not sure what's so funny about Ukraine sacrificing thousands for PR stunt in Kursk, which cost them dearly in terms of men and lost fortifications in the Donbas. I'd say it's pretty horrible that Ukraine can force their soldiers to attack in useless part of the frontline for no reason whatsoever. Especially after Krinky debacle And when you're calling Russia a paper tiger - what exactly are you referring to? Russia is outproducing the entire NATO, has 3 years of experience in modern warfare, producting 2 million drones and per and fully integrated them in their army. They have the strongest army in the world by a long shot
    1
  514. Russia is winning here and there because Ukraine did nothing of value since autumn 2022. Then there was Bahmut, a failed summer offensive, death trap in Krinky, Avdeevka and Kharkov. So when was he supposed to praise Ukraine for anything?

  515. ​​ @Sander-cu4ns  according to Bloomberg from a year ago - half of them already came back. Btw, 10 million Ukrainians left Ukraine too. And the rest are forced to be there by law. What's your point?

  516.  @andrewsk6898  Ukrainian soldiers were trained by NATO instructors since 2014. And Russia already took territory size of UK against strongest army in EU by far Obviously I'm not saying that Russia can capture Europe against NATO forces, but NATO wouldn't he able to capture Russia too. The only NATO strength are planes, while Russia has best air defence system in the world. It would be interesting to see how heavy NATO tanks will stuck in Russian mud while NATO planes will crush left and right And you're overestimating amount of equipment NATO has, they haven't fought anyone stronger than goat farmers

  517. ​ @comdiver6736 have you calculated a huge Russian advantage in fire power?

  518.  @mikkel066h  no? Ukraine just has more different equipment, but they have much less equipment overall. And the situation is much worse in terms of ammo
    1
  519.  @mikkel066h  because of drones. And also because nothing forces Russia to attack as soon as possible, they can just keep destroying Ukrainian army
    1
  520.  @mikkel066h  you can't make big pushes when enemy drones are around. Same goes for Ukrainian army. Until someone finds a reliable solution to deny presence of enemy drones - no-one will be able to push without loosing tons of men So yeah, Russia currently develops the ways to fight against them from electronic to turtle tanks, while expanding its military production. Considering that any big push will be noticed - either they will go in all in attack now or they will keep dropping fabs on Ukrainian troops until they figure something out
    1
  521.  @mikkel066h  the only NATO country that has equipment in storages is USA. But generally speaking Russia outproduces entire NATO in artillery shells and tanks, while building new factories. So when both sides inevitably run out of equipment in storages - Russia will have advantage NATO expands their production far slower than Russia. For example in 2026 USA plans to make 90k shells a month, while Russia already makes 250k a month. Russia can also afford to only spend it on Ukraine, while NATO has to supply Israel and Taiwan. Building factories inside Ukraine is stupid because Russia will easily destroy them. And I don't know if Czechia will be able to supply so many shells to Ukraine, considering that entire was unable to supply more than 300k shells last year, despite planning to send 1 million So again, big pushes are suicides until cure from the drones will be found. They can attempt some bug attack, but it won't make them win, they will just control more land. Also Russian strategy is working considering that Ukraine is running out of soldiers despite kidnapping people off streets to throw them into the military for 2 years already

I'm curious, if some protesters violently removed the government you voted for and if some Russian official was recorded saying "Johnny will be part of the government, but we won't let Steve to be in it" - would you be ok with this? And you also forgot about ISW article "expanding Russia" USAID supports whatever fits the US government needs. When it comes to Russia - it's all about sponsoring their enemies. For example US government supported terrorists in Afghanistan to fight against pro soviet government there. Btw, Bin Laden was sponsoring the same group. Are they the good guys too? "Good Vs evil" is a great joke. Do you think Zelensky is a good guy? Considering that he's banned men from leaving Ukraine and ordered his militia to kidnap people of streets to throw into the military by force? US literally trew Ukraine under the Russian bus. And of course you will think that Russia is evil, since all media in your country push the same narrative

  525.  @jesan733  That's the definition of coup. I'm curious, if some pro Russian protesters were violently overthrowing government in your country and if some high ranking Russian politician supported them openly - would you be concerned? What if that politician was recorded saying " we will make Jeff the head of the parliament, but we won't let Johnny join the parliament at all". Would you call it a coup? Especially if Russia was sponsoring 90% of your media You may indeed consider Russia evil since all your media are pushing the same narrative Btw, about good governance. I guess you forgot about US sponsoring the exact same radicals in 80s in Afghanistan, which Bin Laden was sponsoring as well. Feel free to fact check me and come back with "USAID supports good governance"

  526.  @alextjb  himars can't lock on moving target, they can try to shoot at water where pontoon ferry gonna go, but you need insane amount of ammo to make it effective, Ukraine doesn't have that much guided ammo Russia has pontoon ferries that can supply up to 360t. It's 10 full trucks. Maximum speed of such ferry is 12km/h, but Dnepr is only 600-1000m wide. So Russia can deliver 360t and come back within an hour with ez. Btw, Russian soldier's food/water per day weights 2 kilogrammes, you need 20 tons of food for every 10k soldiers. It's not that much. And since Russia has many ferries - i don't think its a big deal for them. And if they will struggle with supplies - they can send more ferries
    1
  527.  @patricebertrand1146  if ferry is on the ground - it's easy to repair. You basically need sheet of metal, screws, glue, a hammer to make it flat and 5 hours of work if you're being lazy They don't really need to find such area, they can load trucks with food and ammo away from himars range and deliver trucks on top of such ferries without ever stopping Why can't you supply entire front with ferries? Just imagine a road but with one slower part. It's basically the same thing
    1
  528.  @alextjb  i mean, how much time does it take to hit the ground, press w on trucks loaded with ammo and leave the ground again? Such ferries touching the ground for more than few minutes only when no-one uses them Military ferries are just flat boats, they can go anywhere and don't have to move between fixed points Well, Russia has many ferries and such things are designed to get hit If they haven't added more ferries - they simply don't need more I'm pretty sure Ukraine receives a 1000 of guided missiles in 1-2 months (cos last time it was in July if I'm not mistaken). So it's not like they can waste shit loads of ammo for a long period of time to actually starve Russian ammo in Kherson. Especially since Russia can just add more ferries. If i was Ukraine, i would have focused on something easier to hit Well, i just googled weight of one bag of food/water for Russian soldiers per day, it's 2.2kg, rounded it to 2 and multiplied by 10k soldiers. Of course in general they need more things, but it's still 2-4 trucks for 10k soldiers daily to fulfill all their needs (from water to toilet paper and extra pants). Which is 1 ferry and less than 1 hour to cross the river
    1
  529. Few years ago number 1 army was running away from Afghanistan, while people they promise to help forever were falling from last leaving plane Why exactly Russia shouldn't loose ground since Ukraine was attacking for 3 months straight with endless human machine waves? It's physically impossible to not loose ground. But Russia still controls a bit less land than UK has

  530. Why are you calling obvious war propaganda "truth" ? Do you realize that exaggeration of enemy losses is the dumbest propaganda imaginable and it still worked on you? Mediazona found 38k Russian losses in entire war (including Wagner, prisoners and other PMCs). Their info is based on social media posts and graveyards Btw, Russia had 150k when war started, mobilized 300k and 400k joined the army willingly. So according to Ukrainian war propaganda every Russian soldier is either dead or wounded. Who defeated Ukrainian offensive then? An army of ghosts or Putin himself?

  531. Also the cauldron around Ukrainian forces was shrinking for months before Trump cut off intelligence. And everything in 15-20km should have been seen by drones, no need for satellites

  532. Возможно Украине стоило перестать оккупировать Донбасс и высказывать претензии на счёт Крыма, тогда и войны бы не было. А на счёт уничтоженных городов - тут тоже вопрос к Зеленскому, почему он приказывает солдатам подвергать гражданских опасности и сражаться в городах. Заметь, что тот же Херсон не пострадал, хотя переходил из рук в руки, но при этом внутри бои никто не вёл
    1
  533. @av4up  А жертва не может быть виновата? Особенно когда жертва бомбила Донецк кластерными боеприпасами или перекрывала реку в Крым, чтобы 2 миллиона человек заморить? Или когда позволяла нацикам скакать по площадям с криками "москоляку на гиляку" ? Или когда Зеленский угрожал построить ядерное оружие на мюнхенской конференции? "Нужно дать преимущество противнику" - ну тогда не ной, что города в труху стирают. Чёт не помню, чтобы в российской пропаганде злились на Украину за уничтожение Роботино или любой другой деревни, внутри которой РФ решила оборону вести. А вот в городах Россия оборонительные действия почти не вела и предпочитала вообще отступить вместо того, чтобы мирняк подвергать опасности

  534. @av4up  ни в реплаях, ни в почте твоих комментов нет. Сайт говна. А жаль, разговор был бы интересный
    1
  535. @av4up  Так речь то идет про Роботино, которое уничтожила Украина так как там сидели наши солдаты. Или это хорошее уничтожение городов? В Авдеевке и Бахмуте непосредственно велись бои, в отличие от Донецка. Покровск вон тоже целый, хотя линия боевых действий совсем рядом. Я собственно про это и говорю. Если защищающаяся сторона хочет избежать уничтожения города, то она и не будет непосредственно в нем воевать Я тебе напомню, что митингующие при Януковиче молотовами кидались и полицейские участки штурмовали ради оружия. Пророссийские протестующие при Порошенко и Зеленском таким занимались или нет? В ретроспективе АТО было идиотским решением, которое стоило 4 регионов, половину населения в иммиграции, сотен тысяч погибших и раненых, плюс миллиардов долгов и разрушенной экономики. "Сравни ситуацию с Россией" - Россия тоже далеко не светоч демократии и Путинский режим тоже существует. Но у нас ТЦК людей не хватает с улиц и десятки людей в Тисе не тонут при попытке сбежать

  536. Is there a reason why Russia should deny aid from its allies? It's always better to have more ammo and soldiers. USA also used dozens of their allies during the invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Do you think it was also a sign of desperation?
    1
  537. To end the war Ukraine can just give away regions that don't want to be Ukrainian anyway. If they did it almost a decade ago - there would be no war now. It has nothing to do with Ukrainian survival, it's about eastern Ukrainian regions wanting to leave Ukraine

  543. @scottytherambler6919  he provided you with quotes and screenshots. What "proof"exactly do you need? You could fact check those quotes and screenshots, but you haven't The only "lie" I noticed in this video is a video of Arestovich who talks about 100k draft dodgers, but it's translated to deserters. So either HS is wrong or a person who was making subs for the original video of Arestovich. But everything else is perfectly fack checkable. If you find any misinformation in this video - let me know

  544. В смысле "outnumbered" ? Спустя пару дней после начала войны у Украины было преимущество в количестве живой силы, благодаря этому они и воюют. Ты серьезно сравниваешь Ирак, у которого системы противовоздушной обороны в теории не могли достать до американских самолётов, а солдаты не могли прятаться посреди пустыни, с Украиной? Не помню так же, что бы Ираку давали 200 миллиардов долларов военной помощи. Ну и да, Россия - "superpower" потому что самый большой военный альянс на планете физически не в состоянии дать Украине достаточно боеприпасов и техники, чтобы ей сравниться с Россией в огневой мощи

  546.  @letsdrive899  Iraq had non upgraded soviet equipment from 50s. For comparison, 20 years before Iraq war, Vietnam also used soviet equipment from the 50s and destroyed 10k American planes and helicopters, while winning the war. Why aren't you mentioning that?
    1
  547.  @letsdrive899  that's why I said that USA lost 10k planes and helicopters . Wiki is a source In Vietnam USA lost 50k and their entire team lost 340k dead and 1 million captured. Russia in 2 years lost 41k including Wagner and prisoners according to mediazona, so in 20 years Russia will lose 400k, which is pretty comparable. Ukrainian troops also hide in trees, they can also dig trenches, they also received 200 billion dollars from the strongest military alliance on earth and their best equipment. I'd say that overall those cases are a lot more similar than USA and Iraq, since Iraqis had no places to hide, no tree lines, a lot less settlements than Ukraine and no equipment to even scratch NATO forces, on top of no will to fight
    1
  548.  @letsdrive899  don't remember anyone inventing leopard 3 or himars part two electric boogaloo. Ukraine received a lot of old and a lot of best equipment NATO has NATO indeed perfected fighting goat farmers with post ww2 equipment, but it has nothing to do with Ukraine. In ww2 Italy also was using tanks against Africans with bows and arrows, Italians also had extremely low losses, but it's not like Italy had the best military in the world because of it

  549. ​​ @rocketman4123  all wars end with negotiations. How many Ukrainians are you willing to sacrifice to recapture Crimea? Or do you prefer neverending war? It's funny that people who refuse to have peace are always far away from the war
    1
  550.  @rocketman4123  1) Here's the thing, I don't care what territories Russia will have at the end. They can take the entirety of Ukraine or only keep Crimea, I don't want people on both sides to die because Zelensky just refuses to talk to Putin. But yeah, if Russia takes a few regions - I will consider it a Russian victory because it is 2) Putin hasn't invaded a single country that wasn't bombing civilians at Russian borders. Don't remember him invading Georgia after they let go of South Ossetia for example. I don't care how many timea he lied because all politicians lie. - Merkel Holland and Poroshenko all admitted that Minsk agreements were made to arm Ukraine for war against Russia. - Whoever signed the grain deal also lied to Russia since Ukraine kept blowing up Russian ships. - Zelensky also lied about negotiations in 2022 since he listened to Boris Johnson's orders. Both sides have no reason to trust each other and they don't need to trust each other, but they can reinforce their deal with actual guarantees Putin hasn't broken the Budapest memorandum because it stated that Ukraine should have remained sovereign, but they lost independence during the 2014 coup and became a puppet
    1
  551. Ukraine can't win until NATO grows some balls to send them thousands their best tanks and best planes to be on par with Russia in fire power. How do you expect Ukraine to capture Crimea with 10 to 1 disadvantage in artillery and no air cover ?
    1
  552. You think that way only because you only watch Ukrainian war propaganda. They'll never show you how single Russian soldiers took trench with 5 defenders while killing 3 of them or how Ukrainians are running away from failed attacks or from Russian advances. Have you ever wondered why channels you're watching rarely say bad things about Ukraine and only say bad things about Russia? I can't believe that some people are dumb enough to consume propaganda like that, while having access to unlimited information from all over the world
    1
  553. Lies 1) Israel also has nukes and it was also invaded. I'm Russia invaders also got destroyed 2) Ukraine is losing far more soldiers than Russia due to the huge Russian advantage in fire power. Ukraine sitting in a cauldron for months in Kursk also didn't help the ratio 3) That's just nonsense. Before Kursk adventure - Russia was taking 40-50km² per month. And after Ukraine sent their elites in Kursk - Russia started taking 400-800km² per month. In what way was Russia "delayed" ? 4) what's wrong with using the assistance of your allies? US also invited friends to their wars in Afghanistan or Iraq. 5) If Ukraine wasn't holding ground to the last man, then why haven't they retreated earlier? They only had only 1 supply road few km from Russian positions for like 3 months. Are you just coping this hard or lying on purpose?

  554. Wagner had 50k soldiers in total, they can't physically have that many casualties. Also according to BBC sponsored Mediazona Wagner lost 2k dead based on reports on social media and cementeries. That's an actual data unlike Ukrainian war propaganda

  555. Ursula Von Der Leyen stated that 100k Ukrainian soldiers died. Good enough source for me
    1
  556.  @dannylad1600  she said "has been killed", very clearly. And just because Ukrainian mob attacked her for saying such a thing - doesn't mean it's not true. I haven't forgot how amnesty international admitted that Ukrainian soldiers are hiding in civilian buildings (schools, hospitals etc) and endangering civilians, but got so much backlash (got called Putin apologists, victim blamers, Kremlin propagandists etc) that they had to make a disclaimer about not supporting invasion Plus you can't deny that artillery ahd other bombs are responsible for 80% of casualties in any war and that Russia has huge advantage in artillery. So if Russia lost 15-20k - Ukraine lost at least 5 times more

  563.  @Anthony_Zilla  still waiting for those Russian milbloggers who would confirm Russia loosing Nadia novohorivka and serheevka. Or have you made them up to sound more convincing and now required that your propaganda lied to you?
    1
  564.  @thestealisreal3734  well, no, deepstate map is more accurate and shows that bridgehead still exists, tho they painted a lot of Russian gains as a greyzone. But pro Ukrainian NPCs came here because of liveuamap, which is the least accurate map of this war. If that wasn't the case people would have said "Russian bridgehead got smaller" instead of "Ukraine already pushed Russians behind the river". See the difference between biased map (deepstate) and blatant propaganda map (liveuamap)?
    1
  565.  @thestealisreal3734  Firstly - no, it's not the same, since on liveuamap Russia isn't controlling a single settlement, which is why many NPCs came here to tell HL about it So instead of painting it as Russian controlled areas - they painted it as greyzone or Ukrainian controlled land for no particular reason other than to downplay Russian gains. "It's been very accurate" - can you please point at source that would suggest that Ukraine controls Nadya?

If it will reach 50 - I will call myself a brainwashed dog and I'll sub to that guy you linked. Because i can see with my own eyes that Ukraine exaggerated Russian losses by 10

  568. Why are you so silent? I thought you're confident in propaganda you're consuming. What happened?

  569. Considering that Ukrainians are getting encircled constantly - they don't have a plan outside fighting for every inch of land despite heavy casualties
    1
  570.  @jkjkjk316  because Russia decided to leave, not because Ukraine actually did something like in Kharkiv. Btw, according to Washington post and their interview with Ukrainian soldiers from Kherson offensive - Ukraine lost at least 5 times more soldiers than Russia during those attacks . Or you think that Washington post and injured Ukrainian soldiers are also working for Russia?
    1
  571.  @jkjkjk316  no-one denying success of Kherson offensive. But soldiers on the battlefield were achieving nothing until Russian command decided to evacuate 100k people and leave. And I see no sign of Russia thinking about leaving Zaporozhye any time soon
    1
  572.  @KSmithwick1989  both sides are destroying ammo depots, command centers and military bases. Also there are photos of destroyed storm shadow, so it's not like Russians having troubles shooting them down, but obviously some rockets will pass through and hit their targets Russia haven't used Kerch bridge for military purposes for months already. Plus they have ferries, train straight to Crimea and can deliver anything by land through Zaporozhye too. So Ukraine maybe created some issues with logistics in Crimea, but it doesn't affect anything in Zaporozhye oblast. Without capturing Zaporozhye - they can't even dream about taking Crimea. And I see no sign of Ukraine taking this oblast for now I'm curious, if Russia destroyed bridges across Dnepr, would you also say that entire Eastern half of Ukraine is done for and that Russia will inevitably capture it?
    1
  573. Because of crisis in 1990s, people with age 18-25 are the least numerous demographic in Ukraine. Same goes for Russia. So both sides prefer to fight using 30-40yo because they already have children

If Finland builds military base near Russia - does it mean that Fin government also doesn't trust their eastern regions? I don't see logic in your comment Just like I don't understand what's wrong with presidents having 90% of votes if there's no strong opposition. The whole world knows about Trump and Hilary, but no-one knows Russian opposition other than Navalny. Most of them are pathetic nobodies and it's pretty logical that overwhelming majority doesn't vote for them

  577. Russia was loosing ground when they had no troops to guard 1000km frontline properly. Ukraine had like 7 mobilization waves, while Russian soldiers could have cancelled their contracts at any time and go home with fat paycheck. Even if Russia haven't lost a single men - they would have needed mobilization anyway due to amount of ukrainian soldiers
    1
  578.  @AMD64EVER  you basically said that because Russia lost ground - they are loosing the war and aren't inflicting such heavy losses as this YouTuber says. I brought up mobilization because lack of soldiers was a reason why Russia lost ground Russia attacked Ukraine with 150k (many of them left, many people from DNR and LNR got mobilized etc), but after few months Ukraine gathered 1m man army, obviously they gained ground and it has nothing to do with casualties Russia loosing Also according to Washington post and their interview with Ukrainian soldiers from Kherson offensive - Ukraine was loosing at least 5 times more than Russia in those attacks
    1
  579.  @matfudge1143  if you have 150k soldiers and your enemy have 1.000.000 soldiers - you will loose territory. Even if Russia haven't lost a single soldier dead - people canceling contracts and Ukranian mobilizations would be an issue Crematoriums are western fake. Picture they are using is from 10 years ago San Petersburg advertisment campaign for trash recycling. There's no evidence that Russia burns corpses If Russian mod and pro western media that's banned in Russia acknowledged same amount of losses - you can almost guarantee that it's true
    1
  580.  @AMD64EVER  in Kharkiv and Kherson they indeed retreated and gave huge chunk of land without a fight after Ukrainian breakthrough. For example in Kherson initially Ukraine only managed to capture few villages but after a month or so - Ukraine made a breakthrough at some village close to Dnepr and just drove the road for few dozen kilometres, forcing Russia to retreat from western side to not get uncirculated. And in Kharkiv many villages were undefended, Ukraine just rolled into them, placed a flag and kept going Obviously soldiers who got defeated in certain village where Ukraine made a breakthrough are dead or captured. But there were no reports about Russia being encircled anywhere
    1
  581.  @AMD64EVER  if you have 1000 soldiers guarding border against 10000 soldiers on trucks who defeated 50 dudes while loosing 500 in some village and storming in - you either trying to fight them and might get encircled or you're retreating to different position and making frontline shorter for easier defence while inflicting casualties with your artillery
    1
  582.  @AMD64EVER  because Ukraine decided to go on full attack only in September when Zelensky asked Russian soldiers to run away and said that they will get kicked out of Ukraine. Probably lack of attacks from ukrainian side made Russian officials to believe that they don't need mobilization. Putin also said that only 150k of mobilized troops are in Ukraine, so 300-400k is enough to hold the line and attack here and there while keeping extra 150k (out out of 300k mobilized troops) for something bigger or to replace losses. And only in September Ukraine decided to use their "extra" troops to do something
    1
  583. Russia terribly outgunned Ukrainian in Bahmut, there's no way that they lost more soldiers. Also according to BBC sponsored Mediazona wagner lost 2k soldiers dead based on reports on social media and cementeries. And wagner exchanged prisoners for Ukrainian elite Also pentagon knows nothing about Russian casualties even if we assume that this documents were real. Because it's weird that there was nothing in them that Russia doesn't know already

  584. Because there are some versions of c300 that were designed to hit ground targets in 80s. It's not a sign of Russia running out of missiles

  585.  @bruhmoment-bo1mb  in last 3 months NATO sent 1500 guided ammo, everything else Ukraine had or gets - is regular artillery ammo Russia mostly uses Russia also has guided ammo and high precision artillery and rockets like tornado s, Iskander, kalibr, kinzjal, koalitsya etc And no, in most of the cases artillery that hits huge area is better than high precision one. If enemies are going through open field, would you prefer to kill 1 dude with high precision artillery like m777 or 20 dudes with something like smerch, grad or solncepek?
    1
  586.  @kirkpatrick7475  funny how you said that quality better than quantity, while Ukraine is winning in 2 regions because they simply outnumber Russia 8 to 1. According to Washington post and their interview with Ukrainian soldiers about Kherson offensive - Ukraine is loosing 5 times more soldiers than Russia (since Ukrainian soldier said it - in reality ratio is probably even worse). Human wave tactic is effective, but too costly. Also Germany in 1945 grabbed huge chunk of land because of their counter attacks, doubt it was worth it Btw, what NATO equipment Ukraine uses doesn't have superior Russian analogue?

  587.  @Apollo-tj1vm  wars are meant to be fought without bridges. Some Russian pontoon ferries can deliver up to 360 tons of goods. And Russia has thousands of them
    1
  588.  @The_Crazy_Monkey75  because last 6 months were peaceful time for Russia and any soldier could have cancelled his contact at any time. Many trained soldiers got their paycheck and left. That's why mobilization was necessary. Not sure how could have Russia lost many soldiers because since week 3 they were bombing Ukrainians from far away with artillery, while using DNR forces and Wagner to hold the frontline or attack Ukrainians
    1
  589.  @Apollo-tj1vm  ferries are cheap to make and repair, especially since nothing Ukraine has can hit moving targets
    1
  590.  @Apollo-tj1vm  pontoon ferry is made of small metal blocks with air inside. Himars rockets makes a hole which can be repaired by placing metal sheet on top of it. Not a big deal. Also those ferries can deliver full trucks, it takes like 2 minutes for them to drive off such ferry
    1
  591.  @The_Crazy_Monkey75  what shortages? Russia still fires 60k shells per day. What exactly Russians troops are lacking, other than more troops? You can't "deny" someone's leaving from contract army (before Putin started mobilization). Every soldier can go to their commander, say "im leaving", sign some papers and walk away freely. And mobilization needed to stop such things from happening Ukraine had more artillery than majority of EU at the start of the war. According to Ukranian deputy of minister of defence - Ukraine lost 50% of their heavy equipment like 3 months. And since lately NATO sends like 10 howitzers a month, while previously they were sending hundreds of tanks - Ukraine has a lot less artillery than they had at the start of the war All sides agree that Russia outnumberes Ukraine in artillery 15 to 1 or so. And Ukrainians are being shelled a lot more than Russian troops, especially since they were rarely in the frontline, mostly shooting artillery, while Wagner and DNR were fighting and sitting in trenches

  592.  @MtnMig  What do you mean by universal values? Do you believe that people should decide future of the land they are living in? That's what people of Donbas wanted and i don't mind helping them achieving it It's not about patriotism. I hate Putin and i don't want my country to attack other countries. I want Russia to leave Ukraine alone, just like i want Ukraine to leave alone Donbas. And i know that no-one gonna stop this war and people won't stop dying until someone will get defeated. And since Putin won't stop, while NATO gives Ukraine way too little - fighting for Russia is the fastest way to free people of Donbas and stop the war
    1
  593. Two miles in 2 weeks isn't that impressive indeed. But that's what Ukraine has captured in 7 months of their 2023 summer offensive, during which they lost so many people that they stopped even dreaming about reaching Crimea. Everything is relative
    1
  594. @techtical7079  But every year Russia had a net gain of land, two step forward one step back is still a step forward. Also, in November 2024 Russia took 4 times more ground than in entire 2023, it's 48 times acceleration in just a year. Do you think Russia will keep accelerating or do you think that Ukraine starting to snatch 18yo men off streets will help them turn the tide?
    1
  595.  @techtical7079  indeed. And yet in ww1 some countries capitulated while others were victorious. Because wars aren't linear. if Russia accelerated 48 times in a year - Ukraine is in a much worse situation, than it was a year ago. If they won't fix their problems - their problems will only get worse in a year. And if the trend continues - at some point it will be unbearable for Ukraine to keep resisting, so they will surrender. Russia doesn't need to reach Polish borders for it to happen
    1
  596. By "will flee" you mean retreat and fight another day unlike Ukrainians who's getting encircled (in Mariupol Lysychansk Severodonetsk Bahmut and later Avdiivka probably) and dying like flies while their "slave masters" don't allow them to leave for PR stunt? Btw according to Washington post and their interview with Ukrainian soldiers from Kherson offensive (where Russia actually had semi decent amount of soldiers to guard the frontline, unlike in Kharkov) - Russia was killing at least 5 times more soldiers than loosing, despite having limited supplies. Why do you think it's gonna be different now, considering that Russia jas plenty of soldiers now?
    1
  597. Ukrainian officials (Zelensky and his minister of defence) stated that Ukraine looses 200 dead per day. Plus 600-800 wounded. So yeah, 1000 casualties per day
    1
  598.  @somamaczko2549  120k, dead and wounded. War lasted 120 days, Ukraine looses 800-1000 people dead or wounded daily - so it 100-120k dead or wounded Ukranian soldiers total. Pure math, no propaganda
    1
  599.  @somamaczko2549  well, maybe Zelensky lied. But usually war propaganda is "our soldiers are brave and we have almost no casualties, enemies are bad guys and dying like flies". It's weird to say that you're loosing more men than you do, because it affects morale a lot
    1
  600.  @somamaczko2549  "Russian propaganda" that was told by Zelensky and other Ukranian officials? Funny So you believe that head of CIA knows more about Ukranian casualties than Ukranian officials? And I'm very curious about his statement "there is a grinding war of attrition", cos 60-80% of casualties in any war are caused by artillery and Ukraine has 10-15 disadvantage in artillery on the battlefield (also according to Ukranian officials and soldiers). So Ukraine has to loose multiple times more people than Russia. Pure logic shows that his statement is false. How "cost is very high for Russia" can be true if Russia just bombs Ukranians and barely pushing the frontline? Yes, Ukraine had 200k from the start and now they have 700k. "Territorial defense" with barely any guns and training just sitting in trenches under Russian fire while huge chunk of their well equipped army is dead already or defending north from potential attack from Belarus. Nothing i stated was said by Russian officials
    1
  601.  @somamaczko2549  as i said 60-80% of casualties in any war since ww1 are caused by artillery. Soldiers are rarely shooting each other. I saw many interviews with foreign fighters who left Ukraine after few weeks without firing a single shot but seeing many deaths already. That's why fighting in cities isn't that significant when it comes to casualties "Russia always runs straight" - yeah, after few days of bombardment, with tanks against wounded/dead soldiers who barely had any sleep and not working rifles (due to amount of dirt after bombardment). "Artillery isn't accurate" - when it comes to trenches - you can't be accurate enough anyway. How can you kill a 100 man in 1km trench? Russia uses TOS that can kill everything in 800 000m² - it isn't accurate, but it is effective. And when it comes to small groups of people - average inaccurate artillery is enough to make some entrenched unit useless due to reasons i mentioned above Destroyed t72 doesn't mean its Russian t72. Destroyed Russian t72 also doesn't mean killed crew of t72. Same goes with other vehicles

  602.  @somamaczko2549  name a single false statement

  603.  @somamaczko2549  200 hundred dead, not 100. Up to 1000 casualties, because soldiers are getting treatment after all

  604. Никто не ожидал от украинского командования такой стратегической тупости и никто не ожидал от Зеленского, что он прикажет ТЦК свободных украинцев похищать и как мясо в котлы отправлять Кстати, почему ещё не в окопе?
    1
  605. Are Ukrainian elites or their kids fighting? When was the last time the son of American president was sent to fight American wars ? Yeah, dying to capture a small town isn't that great. But dying and losing this town anyway is much worse. That's how wars work
    1
  606. If you actually think that Russia bombs civilians and avoid bombing soldiers - you got brainwashed by media and should stop watching your sourses. Because they only show you collateral damage or avoid talking about amnesty international report about Ukraine using civilian infrastructure for military purposes and the fact that Ukrainian soldiers are hiding inside cities And why do you think Prigozhin would openly admit wagner casualties if he even haven't admitted amount of shells they're using? And how many Ukrainian do you think died in that cauldron with reinforcement of 500 soldiers per day? Well, if you want to trust Prigozhin - you may as well believe in 50k dead Ukraine lost there
    1
  607. That's the dumbest take i heard. It only works if entirety of Ukraine is equally defended (bunker in Bahmut, swamp near Kharkov, river rossing of Dnepr, open fields of Zaporozhye) with same amount of soldiers with same equipment and if Russia will take as much time to take fortified Bahmut as random field or city with 1 million people

  610.  @Sander-cu4ns  who told you that nonsense? According to mediazona, Russia lost 90k in the entire war including PMCs and prisoners. Do you realise that Ukraine is losing much more soldiers than Russia due to the huge Russian advantage in fire power?

  614.  @mikaelfrosthage4375  photo evidence is on Oryx. Pretty much everyone used the same picture with leopard 2 and like 5 Bradleys, not only Russia. But it has nothing to do with Ukrainian losses. If Ukraine is working on damaging logistics and stuff - why would they attack in the first place? And do you realize that Russia also hits Ukrainian logistics, but a lot more because they have more rockets with longer range? Any slow grind benefits Russia greatly because they have huge advantage in long range weapons
    1
  615.  @mikaelfrosthage4375  it's illegal in Ukraine to film results of Russian strikes and military equipment in general to some degree. So if Russia blows up some military base - no-one will film or post it to not get in jail. But if Russia misses the target, if rocket was intercepted or if Ukranian anti air rocket fell on some civilian target - Ukraine will film it and say how evil Russia is Did you forget how Ukrainian c300 killed 2 farmers in Poland, but blamed Russia even after pictures of c300 were revealed? Russia has smerch and tornado s with the same range and accuracy as himars if they use special rockets. And for stormshadow they have iskander, x101, x55, kinzjal and many other rockets I forgot names of. And all have far larger range than anything Ukraine has Ukrainian propaganda is the only reason why you believe that Russia hits civilian targets

  618.  @DrPepp  frontline soldier's job is to just exist most of the time. When enemies are pushing - they're destroyed by fpv drones and artillery, not guys in the trench. And if enemies made it to your trench - most likely you will surrender, but your commanders will send a counter attack to kick winded enemies out of that trench with actually trained troops. So it doesn't really matter how bad frontline troops are since 99% of their job is to sit under enemy artillery fire. Until one side figures out how to completely shut down enemy drones - there will be no big pushes and no big gains, since it's impossible to gather huge amounts of troops without enemy drones spotting you. With the Ukrainian 2022 offensive being an exception because Russia had little to no troops before mobilization. So for now this war isn't about territorial gains, but about production numbers and inflicted casualties. And Russia is clearly ahead in everything other than lost equipment, which they're replacing

  619. ​ @q1q2q23  so the death of civilians during bombardment of cities with cluster ammo - is collateral damage? Have you said the same thing about Ukrainian casualties?

It's also interesting that you call Ukrainian army weakest. What other European army producing 2 million fpv drones per year? What army fully integrated them? What army has a decade of military experience in modern warfare? Do you realise that Ukraine had more tanks and artillery than entire EU combined when the war started? And is there a reason why Russia should hurry up instead of enjoying their overwhelming fire power?
    1
  630.  @mamamia6513  So you admit that Russia is stronger than any NATO country and that Ukraine has by far the strongest army in EU? So who are you comparing Russia and Ukraine to? Do you really believe that Ukraine wouldn't be able to beat UK army of 40k troops with no drones and 200 tanks? What theoretically could happen is irrelevant to what's happening now. NATO was expending their production too. But they physically unable to outproduce Russia because western military complex is in private hands
    1
  631.  @mamamia6513  and I haven't said anything about the whole NATO, I was talking about any NATO country. You said that Ukraine has the weakest army in Europe. But do you believe that Germany can defeat them with 200 tanks, no drones and 2 weeks worth of artillery ammo ? Is there a reason why you haven't answered the same question about the UK? What country isn't a paper tiger? What country is stronger than Russia in any field at the moment? Or course 1 country can't defeat 30 countries across the globe. But Russian weapons are as good if not better than western analogues. Russian soldiers have 3 years of experience in modern warfare, no amount of training and wars against goat farmers can compensate that. And GDP si completely irrelevant if your military complex is private. NATO already spends like 20 times more money on military than Russia and yet Russia is outproducing all of them. And it's going to continue this way until NATO countries steal military industry from private hands.

Can you name few actually neutral channels? I can think of Willy and maybe dpa Russia is superior force because they have 10 to 1 artillery advantage, huge advantage in tanks, aviation and can mobilize a lot more soldiers than Ukraine And i indeed don't see how Ukraine can win until NATO gives them enough weapons to outgun Russia. Ukraine stated that to win they need to go back to 1991 borders. How exactly can can they capture Crimea with huge current disadvantage in equipment and ammo? Until NATO grows some balls to give them 4000 Abrams and 2000 planes - I don't see scenario where Ukraine actually can win
    1
  634.  @bah9681  Ukraine received 7k precise artillery rounds and 2m dumb artillery rounds, so only 0.35% of their strikes are precise. Why do you think that Russia used less high precision ammunition? Especially since they used roughly 7k long range missiles, which are a lot more expensive to make Why do you think that Ukrainian counter battery is superior? Especially considering Russia is also using lancet drones to destroy Ukrainian equipment And how exactly Ukrainian training can be superior, if they use equipment they're unfamiliar with, while all Russian men went through at least one year of training when they were 18 and received extra training later? According to the same Oryx Russia lost like 60 t90, while having 600 of them when war started. So Russia has a lot more modern tanks than Ukraine has. And according to pro western novayagazeta in 2022 Russia made 250 new tanks and upgraded 600 old tanks, according to Putin in 2023 Russia plans to make and upgrade 1500 tanks this year. So yeah, Russia will continue to have huge advantage in tanks if NATO won't send them more tanks According to BBC sponsored Mediazona Russia lost 26k soldiers in this war and they have actual data from cementeries and social media, unlike some random leaked or fake leaked documents, pro Ukrainian estimations etc. How many do you think Ukraine has lost with such huge disadvantage in fire power? And you still haven't explained how can Ukraine possibly capture Crimea and take back their regions while being terribly outgunned I'll watch this guy you mentioned. But all his his titles are either neutral or greatly pro Ukrainian

  644. @Novikov72 YouTube deleted comments randomly btw All Russian men went through at least 1 year of military training when they turned 18 and received months of extra training before being sent to Ukraine. What "evidence" can theoretically prove "barely any training" ? And what fake equipment are you referring to? Fabs don't care if you're in defense or not. There's no difference between attackers and defenders in terms of casualties and it wasn't the case even in ww1 (for example battle of Verden). This war is "structured" around bombs, artillery and drones. And Russia has a huge advantage in fire power. Do you realise that both countries are recruiting 30k men per month, but only Ukraine has manpower shortages and losing ground at record speed? I visit plenty of pro Ukrainian channels and argue with the local audience a lot. Recently even Denis criticized Ukrainian commanders for wasting troops in Kursk while the Donbas front is in free fall. I don't care much about maps, they aren't as informative as interviews with soldiers and their commanders, especially when they talk about their problems. I remember how before 2022 Ukrainian offensive - Russian milbloggers were complaining about lack of troops and dreaming about mobilization, which started only after Russia got kicked in the nose. And now I see the same thing from a Ukrainian perspective

There's no difference between attacking and defending in terms of casualties, it wasn't the case even in ww1, for example in the battle of Verden. In slow moving conflicts fire power (artillery, drones, bombs) is a deciding factor I visit plenty of pro Ukrainian channels. Even Denis was confused about Ukrainian commanders sacrificing thousands in Kursk while Donbas front is collapsing

  646. ​ @benlittle8922  I guess there's a reason why you're bringing in Ukrainian achievements from the first year of war instead of any newer ones. Probably because Ukraine did nothing of value since autumn 2022 offensive. And yes, if you're making 1 step forward after making 2 steps back - you aren't exactly winning are you
    1
  647. ​ @benlittle8922  again, 1 step forward, 2 step back. Ukraine did a good job in the autumn offensive, but in 2022 Russia had a huge net gain of land. In 2023 Russia captured Bahmut and defeated the Ukrainian summer offensive (apparently Ukraine can't capture land without outnumbering Russia 10 to 1 like it was in autumn), then Russia captured Avdeevka and kept capturing land there, while putting pressure on Kharkov. But the main Russian achievement is the decimation of the Ukrainian army to such an extent that they can't replace their losses despite kidnapping people off streets because the Russian military industry is expanding greatly. There's a reason why Zaluzhny and Zelensky talked about lacking 500k soldiers

  648.  @Михаил-о8ш8щ  so, are you saying that Russia isn't losing a lot of tanks? Or are you saying that Budanov haven't said that Ukraine is "attacking without using any materiel" (aka human wave tactics) in his interview to The Drive?
    1
  649.  @Михаил-о8ш8щ  your imagination is admirable. Because Budanov said that Ukraine is " attacking without using any materiel". Ukraine is totally ok with sacrificing people for no reason other than PR stunt. For example in Krinky. They also have been trying to attack Robotne for half a year. But they indeed haven't used a lot of armour because vehicles for Ukraine are more important than people
    1
  650.  @Михаил-о8ш8щ  you said that "Ukraine cannot attack" because they lack equipment. And now you admit that Ukraine was attacking Robotne for half a year. Are you saying that Budanov is lying and Ukrainians weren't attacking on foot without using armour for half a year? Soviet vehicles aren't worse at saving crews, they all can survive mines and they all will be destroyed by artillery and anti tank weapons. Same goes for NATO vehicles.

  656. Strong countries can lose to weaker countries when they don't have a political will to continue. Not the case with Putin. It's also not the case with Russia because Ukraine had a net loss of land every year and because Russia is outproducing entire NATO Most of the people in every army are poor people and everyone wants higher wages everywhere. What's your point? Can I say the same thing about the Ukrainian or American army? All Russian men went through at least 1 year of training when they turned 18. Then received months of extra training before being sent to Ukraine. For comparison, all mercs who fled Ukraine (like Wali) said that Ukrainian soldiers are thrown to the frontline with 2 weeks of training and after firing less than 10 bullets. Everything you said about Russia can be applied to Ukraine, but to a much higher degree Russian soldiers have high morale because they're joining the army willingly, unlike Ukrainian who's getting kidnapped off streets by local militia. Also Russia is the one taking ground and terribly outgunning Ukraine, why would they have low moral to begin with? Soldiers taking their lives instead of being finished by drones is a sign of bravery. Would you say that kamikaze pilots have low moral too? Russia does have complete air dominance over Ukraine because Russia is freely dropping on Ukrainian positions. Russia not willing to lose 10 thousands planes and helicopters (like USA did in Vietnam) by flying over Ukraine - has nothing to do with air superiority Leopard 1 is as old as t64, while t72 is as old as Abrams. Do you think Abrams is also outdated soviet era tank? Old equipment with modern visors is as deadly as modern equipment Russia produces tons of their own electronic components. And of course Russia "has to get tanks out of storages" because that's what storages are for - to have time to increase your production in a conflict. And right now Russia is producing 3-4 new tanks per day Soooo, which one of your reasons for Russia to lose cannot be applied to Ukraine too? Because the situation is much worse for Ukraine, so if Russia is not flying over Ukraine can lose them the war, then Ukraine will lose the war much faster.

  658. Even if Russia haven't lost a single soldier dead - their army still would mostly be conscripted. 150k they had at the start plus 300k of mobilized troops, plus God knows how many volunteers (who also weren't part of their contract army when war started). According to BBC sponsored Mediazona Russia lost 30k soldiers in total, including Wagner and prisoners And it's not about Russians not feeling safe in Russia, it's about people of Donbas getting bombed for almost a decade without anyone trying to stop it

So sometimes they need to create a deficit (burn crops for example) to make demand higher and actually make money. So Russian government buys that grain from farmers for small amount of money and sends it to countries far away to help them (make relationship stronger and maybe get something in return) and help their own economy and farmers

  681. Russia is losing equipment because they have equipment to spare and because equipment saves lives of their soldiers.

"Russia lost tons of tanks... what is this if not a human wave attack" - are you confusing tanks with soldiers? I know it's complicated for you, they're both green after all, but tank assault is the opposite of human wave assault.

Or do you think Ukraine sent dozens to die each time they struck Crimean bridge? Do you realize that Crimea has more than 1 air defence system protecting it? Russia moved their fleet away because Ukraine was damaging it time to time for 600 days, I'm surprised they haven't done it earlier. But it has nothing to do with few dozens of Ukranians landing in Crimea and running away from some local with rifle in his underwear

  687.  @dankengine5304  1) Yes and any air defence system can be overwhelmed by drones and rockets, both sides were destroying enemy air defence from far away without loosing soldiers for no reason Do you think that Ukraine can't destroy targets in Crimea or air defence systems without sending troops there?

Ukrainian offensive failed, despite 100b dollars. How much money do you think Ukraine need to capture any significant amount of land next year?

He and HistoryLegends used the same video of the guy talking about some people getting burns and about soldiers returning to the pipeline after being treated in the hospital after suffocating. But everyone in the pipeline survived and no-one expected the walk in the park. And the courage of Russian soldiers paid out, they liberated their homeland from Ukrainian nazis

  703.  @ibisitibere  frontline is 1200km. And you can't have too many soldiers Btw, Ukraine also uses mercs and conscripts. Just like USA in Vietnam. So losses have nothing to do with usage or mercs or conscripts But here are some facts for you. Russia had only one conscription and sustained its army with only volunteers for more than a year. Ukraine, on the other hand, was kidnapping people off streets to throw into the military for the same period of time, but Zaluzhny still cried for 500k troops and many Ukrainian soldiers said that their units are undermanned.

  706.  @cswizzle1890  what truth? What villages Ukraine recaptured and how many soldiers they lost compared to Russia? Your version of truth is pro Ukrainian map painting this breakthrough as a greyzone, that's about it.

Не сделает ли она его ещё злее? Не даст ли России опыт в борьбе с современным врагом?

So what was it for? 2) Why hasn't Ukraine pulled out of Krinky when it was clear that Russia will take Avdeevka anyway? 3) Why couldn't Ukraine concentrate those marines literally anywhere else to force Russia to react to them instead of sending them to die in a tiny piece of land? 4) Why couldn't Ukraine use those marines as reinforcements when "Russia attacks elsewhere" ? 5) Why can't pro Ukrainian supporters admit the stupidity of some Ukrainian generals to make a noise and force them out of their positions for their incompetence?

"Intercepted plans" are nothing more but a piece of propaganda - imagine enemy plans and celebrate when nothing happened. Obviously Putin was hoping to force Ukraine into submission fast and failed at that. But apparently Russia was more prepared for a long war than entire NATO. Even Biden admitted that USA is running out of artillery shells, while John Kirby said that support to Ukraine is "on the end of the rope"

  712. 11 month old bot account spreads nonsense about Russian casualties coming from Ukrainian mod.

  724. If that's true - it shows that Russia doesn't care about losing equipment and keep soldiers in relative safety. 3 guys in a tank are a lot more safer and will deal a lot more damage to the enemy than 3 guys in open field. So difference in equipment losses has nothing to do with casualties. And considering that Ukraine is sacrificing soldiers in human wave tactics to save their equipment (which even Budanov admitted in his interview to The Drive) and huge Russian advantage in fire power - Russia is losing a lot less soldiers than Ukraine

  729.  @tomassmato4126  1) According to Ukranian soldier Kupol (who was demoted after talking to press) his unit of 500 people lost every member dead or wounded and he's the only one left with military experience. So their old army is pretty much destroyed. Ukraine also had almost as many tanks and artillery pieces as entire EU, but now they're down to 1000 tanks and 400 artillery pieces 2) Well, Russia wants to capture Donbas, Ukraine knows it, so any and win or defeat in this region is a big PR stunt for both sides. So Ukraine is willing to send soldiers into cauldrons and won't retreat until very last second, which is what Russia wants. Maybe there are other reasons when it comes to terrain or mine fields that I'm not aware of. But Bahmut is also around high grounds, so Russia needs to capture them to move forward. Especially since Siversk is also on high ground, so it would be easier to push to that city through Bahmut instead of Lysychansk 3) USA is majority of NATO strength, but they also were attacking iraq with like 40 other countries in general. Even if they weren't bombing Fallujah together - USA is still NATO member, so I don't understand your point

  730. ​ @LiftForYockey  am I wrong? Russia hasn't let their soldiers get encircled, unlike Ukraine in Mariupol Lysichansk Severodonetsk Bahmut Avdeevka and Ugledar. Russia never sent their soldiers to die for PR stunts like Ukraine did in Krinky or Kursk

  733. Imagine believing someone's war propaganda about enemy losses Btw, Russians captured that waste hill and now can control supply roads to Avdiivka. Progress is indeed slow, but we all remember how tiny village of Robotne held longer than Mariupol with 8000 of best Ukrainian troops

  734.  @MsFaiLol  why would they? Mariinka is in low ground, has no strategic value and fortified like hell. Nobody was really attacking there. Wellz except for small groups from both sides time to time While Avdiivka is in a cauldron, 5km between the tips of it. If Russians can control waste hill - they can destroy Ukrainian supplies with kornet. Coke plant has nothing to with supply roads, but if will indeed help Russia to keep waste hill in their hands

Prigozhin could have said anything to blame Russian mod. He also stated that Surovikin line was built to cut off Wagner and mine supply roads. He also stated that Ukraine in Bahmut lost 3-5 times more soldiers than Wagner. Mediazona is BBC sponsored and they have actual data, unlike random words and estimations. You can't argue against reality Btw, how many do you think Ukraine has lost, considering huge Russian advantage in fire power and even drones?

  739. Right now Russia is advancing faster than ever before. They took almost twice as much land in November than in entire 2023. If that's not "crumbling of Ukrainian lines", then what is? What should Russia do for you to say "yeah, Ukraine crumbles" ?
    1
  740. @philipprapp9356  What was the goal on Kharkov operation? If I remember correctly - it was done to move Ukraine away from Russian borders and draw Ukrainian soldiers in to make thin Ukrainian lines even thinner. Which worked, since partially because of Kharkov operation, Russia is advancing faster than ever How exactly is the Russian army crumbling if they take ground at record speed? Ukraine is indeed crumbling slowly, but they lose like 20 times more ground per month than a year before. Do you think that Russia will continue accelerating? Considering that only after 2 years of "having more of everything" Russia managed to inflict so many casualties on Ukraine, that Ukraine can't even replace their losses despite snatching people off streets There are barely any Russian soldiers in Syria and I don't even think that they're holding the line anywhere. So I'm not sure how you can say that the Russian army is fleeing. Similarly, I can't say that polish mercs are fleeing or that french lines are crumbling in Ukraine. Tho the Syrian army is fleeing for sure
    1
  741.  @philipprapp9356  according to mediazona, during the last year Russia was losing around 70 soldiers per day. And there's no drastic increase of casualty numbers during huge Russian advancements. And I haven't seen reliable data, which would provide info about lost equipment per month. But I assume it's not much higher than before either. According to the world bank, Russian economy grows faster than any G7 member. The dollar was 97 rubles a year ago, now it's 99, nothing drastic. Interest rate and inflation are high, but it's not like Russian economy is collapsing Why are you're avoiding questions? 1) What should happen for you to say "Ukrainian lines are crumbling" ? 2) Do you think the Russian army will continue accelerating? 3) And a new one. If you think that the war will be decided by economics, do you think Ukraine is physically unable to win on the battlefield? 4) And if yes, were you blaming Ukrainian commanders for attempting offensives instead of holding the ground and waiting until the Russian economy collapsed?

  742. Who told you that nonsense? Can you name a source? At the start of the war a large chunk for the soviet army was encircled, so they did have shortages, but it wasn't the case for everyone else. There's also not a single source suggesting that blocking detachments were firing at anyone's backs. They were searching for deserters far away from the front because that's where deserters run. No one shot anyone for retreating after failed attacks. But there were quite a few instances of firing squads joining the battle to help repel sudden German attack 1000-10000 shot out of the 20 million men army sounds pretty good to me. "As a cannon fodder" - what do you mean exactly? What's the difference between cannon fodder and not cannon fodder?
    1
  743.  @draconisthewyvern3664  1) "only nominally far away from the frontline" - no. Deserters run away from the frontline, that's why they were looked for away from the frontline 2) So it's a normal thing for every army in every war ever. If you're being cut off - you're lacking the supplies. But it wasn't the case for everyone who wasn't cut off 3) Lend-lease barely had to do anything with the amount of guns. But 10000 locomotives did help greatly to transport them faster 4) Every army also executed their own soldiers. The US shot 100 soldiers for different crimes including desertion 5) Everyone lacked training and everyone had similar supplies. What do you mean by "soak up fire" ? Can you say the same about any infantry attack?

  744.  @corvanna4438  "Wagner doesn't count prisoners" - how do you know? Prigozhin said many times that prisoners are fighting with other units, that there's no discrimination and that all of former prisoners are heroes Ukraine took some barely defended fields, while Russia captured a city. And why should Russia gain ground anywhere else, since Ukraine is planning to go on offensive anyway?

  745. Only 20 buildings in Bahmut are under Ukrainians
    1
  746. Any city is a great supply hub because all soviet buildings got -1 floor where you can keep people and ammo in relative safety. Also because of Bahmut Russia couldn't take Seversk (to the north of Bahmut) after they captured Lysychansk. So after capturing Bahmut - Seversk will be in cauldron that can be closed. Plus it opens the road to big Slavyanks-Kramatorsk line of cities which basically the last part of Donbas region that Russia wants. Also Bahmut has tons of fortifications that Ukraine built in last 8 years of war, Russia destroying them one by one and it takes time Also it probably will delay Russian offensive because i doubt that they will try to storm Slavyanks-Kramatorsk line head on, probably they will get close go them and then push through Kharkiv to encircle them

  748. I mean, there's no possible military purpose in this operation. So it's a PR stunt, just like previous attacks on Belgorod or Krinky. And It's pretty much the dumbest thing Ukrainians could have done considering their manpower and equipment shortages I'll tell you a secret, there are 2 modern militaries in the world right now, one is outproducing the entire NATO while the other one can't keep up with losses despite kidnapping people off the streets. Btw, how's Russia "barely holding" considering that they had a net gain of land every year?

Ukraine kept bombing Donbas civilians despite Minsk agreement. And also Angela Merkel admitted that Minsk agreement was made to rearm Ukraine for future wars, instead of stopping the war in Donbas. More than enough reasons to invade them.

  767. Well, there surely have been die hard pro Ukraine people in Crimea too, but they haven't done anything. Ukraine was part of many different country throughout history, there always was some unrest, but after few years everyone is chill again.

For the same reason people aren't riot every time their candidate is loosing the elections or their street getting renamed

  768. ​ @jurycould4275 today Ukraine has less air defence systems and they're less capable than at the start of the war. A few dozen 50yo planes won't give Ukraine any new capabilities,. considering that Ukraine had a few hundred of 50yo planes when the war started Support for Ukraine is dropping everywhere in he world btw Ukrainian defence spendings don't match at all because Russia spends more on the war than Ukrainian GDP Power stations aren't civilian infrastructure, but dual use. NATO also bombed them during their invasion of Serbia Russia lost 52k soldiers in entire war according to mediazona and they're losing much less soldiers than Ukraine. So I can use the same argument - why would Ukraine lose so many soldiers for such an insignificant amount of land? The grinding of Ukrainian army was one of the Russian goals from the start. And considering that Ukraine is already low on manpower only after 2 years of war - Russia is doing a great job at demilitarising Ukraine

"Until Ukraine wanted to align" - by Ukraine you mean billionaire who overthrew DEMOCRATICALLY elected government? If you find a wiki page about Ukrainian elections before 2014 - you will see that entire eastern half of Ukraine voted for pro Russian candidates. And, who would have guessed, they didn't enjoy seeing how their government is being overthrown By "lack of freedom" do you mean Ukraine banning Ukrainians from leaving Ukraine?

  779. According to BBC sponsored Mediazona, which has actual data from cementeries and social media, Russia loosing like 50 soldiers a week at the moment. Gaining ground in greyzone isn't something anyone should be proud of. Ukraine still 10 km away from first line of Russian defenses. They only captured a handful of villages of like 5 shacks. And they lost 20% of their best tanks (according to pro Ukrainian Oryx) while doing it. Btw, saying that Ukraine captured 510km² is just ridiculous And how many soldiers they lost while attacking through minefields without air cover and with 1 to 10 disadvantage in artillery? Ukraine had hundreds of planes when war started, Russian air defences destroyed them all bayraktars. Few dozens of 50yo planes won't help Ukraine in any way shape or form. And how well their fighters will be trained? Their tank crews showed their NATO training while running over their own vehicles and driving over minefields

  780. Don't remember him saying anything about the collapse of Ukraine. But right now Ukraine is losing more ground per month than in the entire 2023. They also lost plenty of strongholds really fast. It's not a collapse of their military, but their frontline is cracking Also, Ukraine did quite a few things for political reasons despite it hurting their military, like Krinky or their raids in Belgorod
    1
  781. @DampedGull2579  I mean, Ukraine kept sending thousands to Krinky for no reason for like 8 months if I remember correctly. So I'd say it's pretty comparable Ukraine lost Ugledar in a week, which was holding great for 2 years. Ukraine lost Selidove and other fortifications in this area, now Kurahove is close to being encircled too. They also lost a village north of Kupyansk and near the forest, I forgot its name, but Russia failed to take it like 10 times before

Last time I checked - Ukraine received 6k Excaliburs and 2m dumb artillery shells from USA, so less than 0.3% of Ukrainian artillery shells are precise. Also Ukrainian commanders said that 90% of Excaliburs fail because of Russian electronic warfare. We don't know how many Krasnopols Russia is using, but, for comparison, Russia is using 4000 long range rockets per year, despite them being far more expensive than Krasnopols. So both sides are at least on in precise ammunition Sooo, knowing that and considering your estimations on casualty losses between attackers and defenders - why are you changing your opinion? I understand that you support Ukraine and you want them to suffer less losses, but it's quite impossible And if you truly believe that Ukraine suffers far less casualties during the defence, then I have a question. Were you furious about any Ukrainian offensive? Shouldn't they just defend, inflict 10 to 1 casualties ( or whatever your estimation was) and do nothing for the following decade until Russia runs out of men?

  788.  @vailcondo1531  "majority of them do not run", but t55 do run? According to pro western novayagazeta Russia made 250 t90 and upgraded 600 old tanks in 2022, according to Putin in 2023 Russia is planning to make and upgrade 1500 tanks. Considering that Russia lost like 10% of their existed t90 in 2022 - they have loads of them (in storage and brand new) "Now all they send is t55" - are you monitoring cameras on Russian railroads 24/7? Because that's a bald statement and is completely retarded if not backed by good evidence Russia uses old tanks as extra artillery because they use different ammo caliber than newer models. So either they let it rot or they spam Ukrainian positions with them from 14km away. It doesn't mean that they run out of equipment

  789.  @thestealisreal3734  ISW literally takes info from tons of other media. Here they used Belingcat's "Oryx" and western think tank "International institute for strategic studies" . With the same level of confidence i can use Russian mod to estimate Ukrainian losses
    1
  790.  @thestealisreal3734  well yeah, we know that Belingcat is extremely pro western and we know that Belingcat workers created Oryx. We also know that majority of the time there's no way to determine who certain piece of soviet equipment belongs to. We also know that damaged or captured equipment can be counted many times. So no, Oryx isn't a reliable source of information when it comes to loss ratio USA makes 16 abrams a year, Germany makes 14 leopard 2 and upgrades 88 leopard 1 per year. Compare it to Russia making and upgrading 800-1500 tanks according to different sources I don't know how many tank factories Russia has, but 4 out of 5 most produced tanks in history were made in Russia. And same uralwagonzavod that makes tanks only got bigger since USSR. They obviously need time to expand production, but Russia is perfectly capable of outproducing entire world when it comes to tanks. And ammo apparently

  791. I mean, Ukraine is sacrificing their elites to keep like 4% of Kursk oblast, which isn't a big deal for Russia. But it is a big deal for undermanned Ukrainian forces in the Donbas

  792. 1000 according to who? Ukrainian war propaganda? Do you realise that exaggeration of enemy losses is the most basic propaganda imaginable and you still fell for it? Btw, if that's the case, then why is Ukraine having issues with manpower, while Russia can grow their army with only volunteers for over a year? Do you think that a huge Russian advantage in fire power has direct correlation with losses?

  793. Ukraine banned FEMALE medics from leaving Ukraine and planning to force them into military. While Russia doesn't mobilize females, tho no-one can stop them volunteering. That's the difference

  800. Extra 300m when it comes to environment can be a difference between life and death of defenders. While few km in a greyzone 10km away from first line of defence indeed means nothing. Especially after a month of attack. Btw, what exactly changed after he released his video? How's Ukrainian offensive going?
    1
  801.  @yoloyolovich4068  pretty sure they gained heights before HL released his video and region was pretty silent since then. Other than Ukraine claiming to take klischivka, but Russia claiming to hold it What tg channels are rioting? Can you name one? The "worst" thing I've read from pro Russian tg channels was something like "it's hard, but we are holding and destroying one Ukrainian wave after another". I wouldn't call it "rioting". So what channels are you referring to? Soldiers are whining 24/7 about everything. There are plenty of videos about whining Ukrainians too. It doesn't affect overall picture and gain (or lack of gains)

I'm not saying that Russia lost 4 times more tanks than Ukraine, but I'm sure that they indeed lost more. And when it comes to amount of tanks - Russia brings them to the front by hundreds with trains one or two times a month. Last report i saw was about 200 t90

  804.  @ragnarlmao9511  "watch the map" - what map? Liveua is inaccurate as hell and benefits Ukraine. Just look how they painted Zaporozhye, according to them Russia isn't in Robotne, tho it's not true and no-one reported Ukraine capturing it. So no, Russia haven't got pushed back, it was online map that decided to not show Russia's progress Putin or any other official never said anything about 3 days. And considering that NATO can't make Ukraine less terribly outgunned after 500 days - Russia was a lot better prepared for such war of attrition. But it has nothing to do with topic we're discussing. Are you that insecure in your opinion that you had to change the subject? Pathetic

  806. ​ @serke9103  And yet this war has the smallest civilian/combatant loss ratio in the last 100 years. Something doesn't add up Btw, is there such statistics for Ukraine? Do they count people, who were kidnapped by Ukrainian militia, beaten and forced into the military? Cos if there is no such statistic - that data of yours is nothing but blatant propaganda

  807.  @Marrothefirst  so it's ok for nazis and billionaires to overthrow DEMOCRATICALLY elected government in Kiev and bomb everyone who disagrees with such change? Helping side you're supporting is a pretty normal thing to do, NATO was sponsoring rebels in half of middle east and now in Taiwan. Do you also think that China should bomb Taiwan into oblivion if they decide to resist? Or do you think that it's ok that USA sponsors Taiwan with money and weapons?

  808. "what did it do" - Ukraine wasted so many troops in Bahmut that their summer offensive got defeated so easily that western countries started turning away from them and everyone stopped talking about Ukraine restoring 1991 borders. Well, of course capturing Avdeevka won't make Ukraine lose. But it will show that Russia can capture the most fortified city in the world and that there's nothing Ukraine can do to stop them.
    1
  809.  @TeunisMarinus  it all happened before Russian mobilization, when Ukraine was terribly outnumbering Russia. But every year in this war Ukraine had net loss of territory. Russians captured the equivalent of England within days too, they captured the entire Crimea within days too. And even in 2023 (year of great Ukrainian summer offensive) - Russia also captured more land than Ukraine. So what's your point? EU agreed to give Ukraine 60 billion in 3 years. While Ukrainian deficit this year is 40 billion. USA also hasn't given Ukraine money yet. But will Ukraine receive more than they received for summer offensive? Considering that the entire NATO can't outproduce Russia in tanks and artillery shells and considering that NATO emptied their stockpiles for summer offensive - no, they can't make Ukraine win

Since first month they didn't cared about holding land, were totally ok with leaving Kherson and only focused on encircling cities where Ukraine is willing to sacrifice tens of thousands for PR stunts. They also never said that their goal is to capture land btw, while Ukraine stated that they want to restore 1991 borders. Are you confused or something?

  813.  @TTTT-oc4eb  what leaked documents? Is there a way to determine if it's fake or not? Russia also showed many "leaked" documents that confirm Ukraine losing like 500k soldiers, doesn't make it true The only one who said that Kiev can fall in 3 days was American general Milley. But Ukraine gave weapons to 100k civilians immediately so Russia wasn't able to do anything in that direction

  822.  @blackstork0014  any help to soldiers is a good thing. Supplies must be delivered to the frontline, in mud season scooters and bikes are hard to use, so maybe that's why some units decided to try animals instead of moving dozens of kg of supplies on foot. Both sides also use cats to kill rats in trenches, the US also used donkeys and horses in Afghanistan, I can't think of a single large scale war which wasn't involving animals unfortunately But yeah, it's pretty cruel and I hope that Russians will find better solution

  823. Russia lost 36k people in entire war and according to Mediazona - they barely lost soldiers "So far, the battle for Avdiivka, which experts often called the “second Bakhmut,” referencing to the place of the heaviest fighting last winter, doesn’t affect our count significantly. We do find some obituaries of soldiers who died there, mostly assault and motorised rifle units, but the death toll is far from the one in Bakhmut."

  825. 21k compared to 100k+ of Ukraine is pretty good for Russia, don't yiu think? Assaulting cities head on is stupid and too costly. Russia was focusing on capturing villages around cities to make them encircled and kill large amount of Ukranian troops trying escape it. Like it was in Mariupol Lysychansk and Severodonetsk. Now it's Bahmut, if Russia pushes around Kremina a little bit - Siversk will be in a cauldron too "West world" haven't fought anyone stronger than goar farmers. Even Germany admitted that they have ammo for a few weeks of war and NATO military industry is so pathetic that they can't make Ukraine less terribly outgunned after a year of help. You're overestimating NATO a lot

I don't think that getting into cauldrons regularly is a good plan for any army and we all know that Ukraine is terribly outgunned. Obviously Russia had plenty of dumb and costly offensives but it's nothing compared to Mariupol, Lysychansk, Severodonetsk and now Bahmut

  828.  @peanut-butter16  well, they lost 10% or their leopard 2s and 15% of Bradleys while only capturing low ground in grey zone with little Russian presence.

And have you heard Budanov's interview to The Drive? He said that Ukraine is doing attacks "without any materiel" (aka human wave tactics). So Ukraine is sacrificing soldiers to save tanks, while is Russia sacrificing tanks to save soldiers. So what are you on about?
    1
  834.  @MrKuti89  so Russia sacrificed tons of tanks and BMPs because they're saving armour? It makes no sense How do you know that Russian soldiers have no cover? And have you seen conditions of Ukranian soldiers? Just because you saw some video with complaining Russian soldiers - doesn't mean that every Russian soldier in the region has issues. Same goes for Ukrainians. Do you realize that showing how miserable enemies are , how they're loosing equipment, how they're dying etc is part of standard war propaganda, right? If you only watched Russian tg channels - you would have said the same thing about Ukrainian But the fact is - Russia uses tons of tanks and BMPs in their attacks, while according to Ukrainian officials - Ukraine is doing human wave tactics to save their tanks

  839.  @SnorkelSquad  have you said the same thing about Ukrainian summer offensive? Unlike Ukraine, Russia has equipment to spare and thousands of bombs to evaporate Ukrainian troops inside cities. So what's your point? Losing soldiers and equipment to gain a few fields isn't that great indeed, but losing much more soldiers and losing those fields anyway is much worse
    1
  840.  @SnorkelSquad  why exactly Russia shouldn't take it's time to evaporate Ukrainian forces in Kharkov and everywhere else? Do you think Biden was also begging Israel, South Korea and Japan for ammo? And why shouldn't Russia buy more ammo to have an even greater advantage? The bigger advantage - the better the loss ratio for Russia. There's a reason why Russia can sustain their army with only volunteers while Ukraine has to force people from streets into the military. Russia isn't the one who's getting mauled mate

  843. The attacking side was never losing more troops. Even in Napoleonic times or ww2. It all depends on tactics and terrain

  844. Well, either Russia is pushing hard and encircling everyone, fighting for months, fighting in urban area where artillery (Russia's biggest advantage) doesn't mean anything and loosing a lot of man. Or Russia leaves small road so Ukranians can leave of foot while leaving most of their equipment in Lysychansk, while constantly shelling them, taking equipment for free and killing/capturing those poor territorial defense units left in Lysychansk without much fighting Basically it's a choice between loosing Russia's man a lot for big Ukranian losses or barely loosing Russia's man for lower Ukranian losses

While having as many fpv drones as Ukraine Who told you attacker is losing more than defender? It wasn't even the case in ww1, in battle of Verden for example. It's about fire power. And according to medics from both sides - only around 5% if wounds are caused by bullets, so it doesn't matter if you're attacking some trench or simply rotating troops - artillery, drones and bombs can hit you anyway Why would you believe Ukrainian mod when it comes to losses? Ukraine indeed has far less equipment losses because they have far less equipment in general. For example - US lost 10k planes and helicopters in Vietnam, compared to like 200 planes of the North Vietnam. But it doesn't mean that American casualties were higher

At what point will you realise that Russia is losing much less soldiers than Ukraine?

  857. ​ @frederickphelaniii3733  Who told you that nonsense? All Russian men went through at least 1 year of military training when they turned 18 and received months of extra training before being sent to Ukraine. Even those 300k mobilized soldiers in 2022 haven't participated in any offensive actions for like a year until Russia decided to take Avdeevka Do you realise that Ukraine is losing much more soldiers than Russia due to the huge Russian advantage in fire power? Do you realise that there's a reason why both sides recruit 30k soldiers per month, but only Ukraine has huge manpower shortages? If Russia lost 600k KiA, then it would mean 2m wounded, which is more than the entire Russian army. Are you implying that Ukraine is losing to an army of ghosts and crippled? And what this war has to do with V2 or soviet victory in Afghanistan? Wars in different eras have nothing to do with each other. Why haven't you compared D day with a Ukrainian landing in Krinky? And you still haven't answered who you are comparing Russia to. Nobody produces as many fpv drones, nobody has so much experience in modern warfare, nobody produces as much ammo and rockets. So what's your point? You can call Russian army trash, but every other army is also trash in comparison to Russian army

Don't see population of new Russian regions to be oppressed in any way Ukraine didn't attacked Russia, but they were killing Russian speaking civilians in Donbas for almost a decade 600 bodies in Bucha? UN only found 73 bodies. It happens when civilians don't leave warzone and get killed by Ukrainian artillery. And those who weren't killed by Ukrainian artillery had white pro Russian patches, kinda weird huh?

  868.  @bradleysmith3238  basically every source suggests that Russia is using 7-10 times more ammo per day, than Ukraine. Even Zaluzhni admitted so. If using as much ammo per day, as entire USA makes per month, is "barely" - then how much is enough in your books? You're confusing random propaganda and mistakes with reality on the battlefield. And in reality Ukraine is barely moving while loosing shit tons of equipment Never seen an intelligent person using emojis btw
    1
  869.  @KSmithwick1989  yes, older models of t72 can't use new rounds, while newer models can. But leopard 1 calibre is much smaller than modern rounds. I'm not sure if it's even able to penetrate modern armour
    1
  870.  @KSmithwick1989  good point about round length. Maybe leopard 1 can be used to fight other tanks too. And yeah, it's obviously useful as a support vehicle or artillery piece (Russians mostly use their t55 this way)

  871. Russia had a net gain of ground every year. But in wars of attrition it's not that relevant. As long as Russia has far lower losses than Ukraine - Russia is winning. And considering that Ukraine can't keep up with their losses despite kidnapping people off streets - the strategy is working

  875. Unlike Ukraine, Russia has plenty of tanks and BMPs. Loosing 30 pieces of equipment isn't a big deal for Russia, but for Ukraine it would be a disastrous. Stupidity of some Russian commanders is a different subject tho and is playing much bigger role than loss of few dozens of tanks
    1
  876. Bahmut was in a cauldron with last remaining supply roads being 1km away from Russian positions. So Russians were destroying a lot of equipment that was going in and out of Bahmut. Because of that soldiers in Bahmut had limited ammo and were terribly outgunned by Russia. Plus Russia was exchanging ex prisoners for Ukrainian elites And now Ukraine does have progress obviously, but they lost 20% of their best tanks without reaching first line of defences. They have to push through minefields without air cover to attack dug in enemies. And according to BBC sponsored Mediazona (which has actual data from cementeries and social media) Russia loses like 50 people per week at the moment. How many do you think Ukraine is loosing for such small gains?
    1
  877. How can Russia lose more men than Ukraine if Ukraine is terribly outgunned? Why is Ukraine the one struggling with manpower despite kidnapping people off streets, while Russia starts new offensives despite growing their army with only volunteers for over a year? The only time Ukraine gained ground was before Russian mobilization. Since then they did nothing of value and have been losing ground every year in general . If taking small towns is bad - then how does it feel to lose those small towns?

  880. How did you conclude that Russia didn't had a logistics? They fire 75k shells per day, compared to 35k shells entirely NATO sends to Ukraine in a MONTH. If that's not good enough for you, what would you consider "good logistics"? How many tons of ammo fired per day would you consider "good enough" in your book? Or you're still talking about first week of war when Russia went balls deep in Ukraine and captured equivalent of Great Britain within days?
    1
  881.  @alexa7736  as i said, they had problems in the first week because they captured shit loads of land within days. Also big part of their forces went through Belarus, so it was extra pain in the ass But their supply problems in first few days of war have nothing to do with their current supplies. So when they send more people to the front - they will simply send more trucks to well known roads
    1
  882.  @alexa7736  i mean, they already know where their troops are, they know the roads, those roads are secure from sabotage groups, they know where to hide ammo etc. They just need more men and more trucks, shouldn't be an issue In first few weeks many Ukrainian reckon groups were shooting trucks, Russia in the North was stuck in forested area that benefits such groups, some forces made a wrong turn somewhere, some soldiers had broken vehicles and no way to call someone for help, because other soldiers from their group had to move to capture new objective fast etc. Russia doesn't have those problems anymore
    1
  883. Lost 3k tanks according to who? Oryx? There's no way to determine who certain destroyed soviet tank belongs to. There's a reason why Ukraine begged for more tanks and why only 40 t90 (out of 600+) were destroyed according to the same Oryx And yeah, Ukraine lost 10% of leopard 2 and 15% of Bradleys in this attack

  884.  @crashcr93  attacking and keeping pressure are 2 different things. When it comes to attack - Wagner walked around city and shells everyone who tries to go in or out of it

  885. Russia was encircling Ukrainians there for half a year. Ukrainian still had access to hundreds of commercial satellites. And Ukraine has their own drones to watch the battlefield in 20km range. The whole point of pipeline operations is to avoid being spotted.

  886. By good training you mean few months of training instead of years? While all Russian men went through at least 1 year of training when they hit 18 and months of extra training while waiting for Ukrainian attacks. And majority of Ukranians received few weeks of training maximum according to many mercs who left Ukraine like Wali. What are you on about?

  887. North Korea was more helpful than entire NATO. And they also sent their own troops. I'd prefer to have 1 real but weird friend, than 40 fake but cool friends

  888. According to mediazona, which actually counts Russian losses - Russia was losing 1500-2000 soldiers per month last year. So Ukraine exaggerated Russian losses 30 times
    1
  889.  @chrisf4268  "almost every report" - there's a difference between actual data and random reports. In mediazona's data you can see the age, military branch and a date of death, which is interesting to compare to reality on the battlefield during this time. While in random reports you can only see "Russia lost a bizzion men today and every day"
    1
  890. If someone is wounded - doesn't mean that they're out of fight. Russia lost 18k, but it doesn't include Wagner DNR and LNR forces Every Russian male went through at least 1 year of military training. And they received additional weeks or months of training (depending on their role and previous experience) before being seng to Ukraine Russia never picked up people from street, but they were giving invitation to visit army recruiters Half of ukrainian population since 2014 left Ukraine too. And more would have left if Ukraine haven't banned males from leaving. It's also a normal thing during conscription, people were also leaving USA during Vietnam war Every army has idiot commanders. But Russia isn't the one who's getting encircled constantly and sending people to cauldrons for a PR stunt "Russia is out of men" - every year they conscript 150-200k 18yo to train in military, multiple it by 30 (assuming that they won't conscript anyone older than 50) and you'll get the rough number of people they can mobilize

  891. Gains don't matter in this war because it's a war of attrition. A year ago Ukraine planned to reach Crimea with their grand offensive, today they're crying about the lack of manpower and completely lost hope of winning. What do you think will happen in a year or two?
    1
  892.  @gyoezoe99  Mickhailo Podolyak told to BBC at june 9 that Ukraine looses 200 dead per day. Dead/wounded ratio is around 1 to 4. Do the math
    1
  893.  @ElementalWarrior1999  wrong. Most Ukrainian tanks were damaged by mines far away from the frontline, so obviously their crews survived, same goes for Russian tanks. But leopards and challengers were also blown up by cheap drones and their turrets also reached the orbit. Difference is that Russian tanks can actually reach the frontline
    1
  894.  @ElementalWarrior1999  If armour of your tank gets penetrated - everyone inside is dead, doesn't matter if your turret pops or not. And Russians posted plenty of videos of destruction western tanks, noone except for Abrams has that shield between the crew and ammo

  921. Because it's more reasonable to believe pro Russian or pro Ukrainian news when they talk about their own failures instead of success. Because war propaganda always exaggerates accomplishments and downplays failures. So when Russian war journalists in summer were talking about lack of soldiers - it turned out to be true and lead to loss of big chunk of land. And when it comes Ukranian soldiers talking about losses during their offensives - it also turned up to be true because they spent another half a year begging for NATO equipment to even attempt an attack

  922.  @ashapuhin72  every unit in every army has certain amount of certain equipment. Squad of 4 can't ask their commanders to give them dozen of tanks and B2 bomber on top of 4 rifles and ammo that was prescribed to them. Same goes for every unit. If commanders decide to give you an EXTRA tank, artillery piece, drone or something else - it goes on top of what you supposed to have. That's why it's called extra Are you saying that Russia completely run out of t90, t80 and t72 and started replacing them with t55? Because otherwise it's indeed an EXTRA equipment
    1
  923.  @ashapuhin72  do you have evidence that Russian army receives t55 INSTEAD of t72-90? Have you seen a single video of Russia sending t55 in mass frontal attacks like in Avdiivka? Did Russians completely run out of t64, t72, t80 and t90 so they have to send t55? No? Then there's indeed no point in arguing against t55 being an "extra" equipment. Just because you want something to be true - doesn't mean that you can bend reality to make it fit your point of view

  933. "9 visually confirmed speed boats" - there are literally hundreds of videos of Russian fpv drones blowing up boats full of Ukrainian soldiers. Literal hundreds.

  934.  @terjeoseberg990  do you realize that all those factories that were making tanks are still in Russia and only got bigger? They indeed will never have such massive stockpiles because in modern war weapons are a lot more precise and you don't need such quantity to kill enemies "Equipment is now old and outdated" - that's why Russia modernizes it. But unlike NATO, Russia has equipment to spare and modernize "Ukraine is demillitarising Russia" - while Russia demillitarised Ukraine and keeps demillitarising NATO.

  937.  @stream2watch  I also know that submarines have sections in case of an emergency, so there's a chance that explosion just made it through and damage wasn't spread across big chunk of submarine.

If not - you just believed pro Ukrainian propaganda And you haven't answered how many languages do you know
    1
  938.  @stream2watch  torpedos have 250-500kg of explosives and under water explosion is much stronger than on land exactly because they're no "small compartment". And Submarines are made to save crew in case of torpedo attack Again, what gives you authority to say that this sub is done for? Considering that you keep avoiding my question about languages, you also have no authority to talk about my grammar, since I know 3 times more words than you
    1
  939.  @stream2watch  submarine does survive torpedoes, they're sinking, but crew can survive if rescued. I've seen a big hole on photos, but it doesn't mean that submarine is destroyed. Stormshadow hits deep, it's not just a dumb bomb. For example anti tank rocket hits through armour, but it's not gonna pierce through armour on the side of explosion

  940.  @stream2watch  USS submarine Tang was hit by it's own torpedo and some crew members survived

  941.  @stream2watch  crew survived, so not everything was destroyed, no shit it sunk. Read my previous comments, just because there's whole in submarine - doesn't mean it's destroyed completely and can't be repaired 250kg ancient warhead against ww2 submarine, seems fair to me
    1
  942.  @stream2watch  being sunk and being destroyed are two different things. If I make a hole in bottom of your car - it won't move, it broke, but after replacing few things it will move again. Why are you acting like you know for sure that this submarine is destroyed? You have no idea. Why can't Russia replace few cables and metal sheets to make it move again?
    1
  943.  @stream2watch  so if I make a hole in the bottom of your car - you will also say that it's destroyed and can't be repaired? If people inside of that USS submarine survived - it wasn't destroyed, but damaged enough to sink. The fact that rocket pierced right through Russian submarine is exactly why I talked about anti tank shells before. Are you slow or something? Stormshadow is meant to pierce through bunkers and it did, but such rockets deal little damage sideways. So again, why do you think that 3/4 of that submarine received any damage?

  944. Is there a reason why Russia should be in a hurry instead of evaporating Ukrainian nazis slowly but surely?
    1
  945. It's a figure of speech. Because there can't be a date of end of the offensive until Zelensky announces it. So Russia just chose a date when they were sure that Ukraine is unable to push anywhere And Ukrainian offensive have been stopped in summer. Taking a field time to time is cool and all, but tiny village of Robotne held longer than Mariupol and 8k best Ukrainian troops. So yeah, Ukrainian offensive have been stopped long time ago

You just used your imagination to create an argument and then laugh at it. The Ukrainian army is by far the most strongest army in Europe and supported by the largest military alliance on earth, it also has hundreds of thousands of very angry slavs. But Russia is outproducing the entire NATO and therefore has a huge fire power advantage over Ukraine. They don't need to push deep and hard to win the war. Because of that advantage - they have far less losses than Ukraine. And the only reason why Ukraine is able to keep up with them is because they snatch people off streets to throw them into the military

You may as well believe Russian numbers of destroyed planes and killed troops Ukranian air defence isn't getting better. Nasams is worse than c300 Ukraine had at the start of the war. What exactly are you talking about? And how can they lack weapons if they have more artillery than entire NATO, while their repair centers are right on Russian border, while Ukraine has to send their equipment to Poland 1000 of km away from frontline? Extra trench with 100 people with some anti tank weapons can put a good fight against Ukrainians with armoured trucks. And it's exponentially better than not having those 100 guys in a trench at all, cos currently Ukraine can just send people on trucks in places where Russian army doesn't have any troops
    1
  960.  @pranasvaicaitis42  6000 losses for Russian army is reasonable. They aren't counting DNR and LNR forces, they also aren't counting Wagner. Majority of Russian forces either sitting in tanks or artillery, rarely doing the pushing themselves. I mean, in last 6 months they were bombing Ukrainians from far away, while sending Donbas conscripts to the frontline. Why would Russia itself loose a lot more people than they stated?

  962.  @ravenblood1954  i mean, in Kherson lately they pushed through 1 or 2 villages and moved along with Dnepr river with no resistance (because there were no Russian troops), which forced Russians on the left flank to fall back to not get encircled And in Kharkov it was a huge forested area where Russians couldn't defend from reckon groups due to lack of men. That's why they left Izym with no fighting at all. In Lyman, for example, they destroyed many Ukrainian attacks, but had to fall back after Ukraine pushed through the forest in the South which was close to last safe supply road. If Russia had troops to guard this forest - it wouldn't be so easy for Ukraine It's all about raw numbers of Ukrainians on trucks who can move behind Russian troops
    1
  963.  @ravenblood1954  I'm indeed explaining how Ukraine is winning. And I'm saying that it's happening because Russia doesn't have enough troops to guard 1000km frontline at the moment. If you're moving fast - artillery can't really hit you. And when you captured a village where you will stay for a night or you stopped because your front vehicle got destroyed by a mine - that's when artillery strikes. There are dozens of pictures and videos of destroyed Ukrainian convoys, dozens of tanks and vehicles. Especially in Kherson, where Ukraine captured like 10 villages few weeks ago by pushing through the river, then got decimated by artillery and fell back to the village and forest right next to the river. Same thing is happening right now. If they pushed through one line of Russian defence on the right side (let's take Kherson as an example) - they can move deep in Russian territories with no resistance, left side of Russian front has to fall back, then Ukrainian stops, then artillery shoots at them, if damage wasn't significant enough - they can try to push again
    1
  964.  @pranasvaicaitis42  tanks are good at pushing, but there's no reason to use them if you don't have people to guard territories later if by "100k" you mean numbers about dead/injured Ukrainian troops, then yeah, Shoigu said that. Or what are you talking exactly? I doubt this number is right, because there's no way of knowing how many enemies you have killed Russia had 150k soldiers in total around Ukrainian borders, according to pentagon. Big part of them are in logistical team. Also rotation does exist In first few weeks Russia was pushing and lost 1500 or so in first few weeks, then they retreated and pushed slowly, then they stopped pushing and sent DNR and LNR conscripts to the frontline. And since beginning of the summer they were barely using their troops for anything other than defence "Russian mobies are already in the front" - according to Ukranian propaganda. I doubt it's even logistically possible to give someone a letter from army, wait for new soldiers to arrive, sent him in army, give him uniform, assign him to certain war zone and send him there. Considering how big Russia is
    1
  965.  @pranasvaicaitis42  Ukraine was only resisting in north of kiev and Mariupol, Ukraine was blowing up tanks around kiev with small reckon groups, there was no big fights. And in Mariupol azov battalion quickly went inside the bunker, so there also wasn't much fighting. There's a news from Washington Post with interview of Ukranian soldier who said that everyone of his 120 people group was injured or killed. So yeah, when you're attacking in open fields against with 20 to 1 artillery disadvantage - you will loose a lot more soldiers than Russia from reckon groups in first weeks of war What videos of mobies going to the front?

  967.  @pranasvaicaitis42  average killed/wounded ratio is 1 to 4. So either he's lying about his dead comrades, or they are extremely lucky. That's why i said "dead and wounded" In march 1 Mariupol got surrounded and Russian started bombing it, later DNR forces started fighting on streets. So again, Russia wasn't loosing much My bad about 20 to 1, it's actually 20 to 3, according to same Washington post news article. Brain fart Indeed, certain regions got problems with mobilization and those problems are getting fixed. I believe that same group of soldiers in the end that was told to be sent to Kherson, is protesting as we speak, because they are sitting on the train with weapons and their retarded officers are sending this train back and forth without training them, paying them or feeding them. Every time Russian war journalist talking about such things - problem is being fixed pretty fast, just like with majority of the videos you linked. Except for sleeping bags that can be used in -30, that's still an issue

  968. Not his fault that Ukraine did nothing of value in the last 2 years. He also quotes western media and Ukrainian soldiers, if you disagree with them - argue with them. Or do you think all those articles are psyops and all those interviews with Ukrainian soldiers are Russian fakes or something? Why are you denying reality?

  969. Because Ukraine wasted 2 months, 50% of Bradleys and 20% of leopards to capture roughly same amount of territory. And because they only reached first line of Russian defenses now

  971. 1) Have you seen the video? Majority of brigades that got new equipment are around Bahmut, Zelensky clearly doesn't want to give up the city and Prigozhin in his analysis also stated that Ukraine will attack in Bahmut. It can be false of course, but everything is pointing at Bahmut at the moment 2) Well, despite Russians having little troops and with damaged supply lines in Kherson - they still managed to hold Ukraine there until they decided to retreat. Now Russia has more soldiers better trenches and no issues with logistics. Obviously Ukraine can do something cool, but it's gonna be a lot harder than previously 3) NATO tanks aren't better than Russian, they're just different like iPhone and Android. NATO tanks are heavier and harder to destroy, but will stuck in mud after any rain and are easier to hit (due to size), they also have smaller caliber. Also tank v tank combat is a pretty rare thing, mostly they're destroyed by mines, artillery and anti tank weapons. While Russian kornet hits harder than javelin. So it's not like Russia has disadvantage when it comes to tanks

  979. The freedom of Ukrainians aren't at stake, the freedom of the people of Donbas and Crimea is at stake. And Ukraine is trying to take it away from them

  980.  @Marrothefirst  Ukraine dammed the river to Crimea that supplies 80% of freshwater to the region, deliberately starving 2 million people. Zelensky threatened to build nukes on Munich conference. Ukraine kept bombing Donbas civilians despite Minsk agreement. And also Angela Merkel, Hollande, Poroshenko and Zelensky all admitted that Minsk agreement was made to rearm Ukraine for future wars, instead of stopping the war in Donbas. Ukraine isn't a good guy And since all western media are portraying them as heroes with moral high ground fighting against orcs - it's totally reasonable to push back against such propaganda and support Russia

  981.  @fikarrusdiawan9562  what are you referring to?

  982.  @invictawarrior  it's impossible to determine who certain piece of soviet equipment belongs to, so there's zero evidence that Ukraine captured 500 tanks. Also just because Ukraine captured certain tank - doesn't mean it can be repaired DNR, LNR and South Ossetia units are using t64 because they trained to use them. While t55 is used as extra artillery piece since it has different calibre than more modern Russian tanks. We haven't seen t55 in mass attacks like in Avdiivka for a reason Well, entire NATO can't supply Ukraine enough equipment for them to be less terribly outgunned by Russia. So it's hard to call Russian military industry a paper tiger. Plus NATO tactics and training also haven't worked out in summer Ukrainian offensive, so Russia also isn't inferior in military tactics and training. So what exactly are you referring to?

  984. ​ @Sander-cu4ns  When did he say anything about deadlines? When he was asked about Kursk - he clearly stated that he's not gonna tell when it's gonna be liberated to avoid unnecessary casualties in rushed offensive. Are you lying on purpose?

  985.  @Szminsky  it's embarrassing to spread obvious war propaganda. Liveuamap also shows Robotne and Novoprokopivka in Zaporozhye as Ukrainian held territory, tho not a single source suggests that. They literally heard about Ukraine attacking on that region few days ago and painted everything around those villages as Ukrainian land for no reason. Same goes for Svatove front: they heard about Ukrainians counterattacking and decided to paint everything in ukrainian colours It's embarrassing to believe in such obvious propaganda
    1
  986.  @Szminsky  I love argue to people indeed. So, is there a single claim from Ukraine that they recaptured all land west of oskol river? Well, other than pro Ukrainian map that haven't used any actual data. Would you believe that mapping website if they painted entire Donbas as Ukraine controlled land tomorrow, without a single source talking about it too? I think it should be obvious that maps should reflect news on the battlefield, not other way around

  987.  @Szminsky  what pro Russian sources confirmation loss of Nadia, novohorivka and serheevka? What pro Ukrainian sources confirmed it other than this map? Because pro Russian rybar and wargonzo stated that bridgehead is still exists and Russia is "cleaning outskirts of novohorivka"

  988.  @Szminsky  frontline before was behind the river. Russians pushed across it and captured few settlements. And they still own them, which is why I started arguing with a guy who said that "gains are already reversed". Do you know what "reversed" means? Obviously Ukraine counter attacked and captured few empty fields, no-one is holding big quantities of soldiers on the frontline itself. Both sides using the strategy of "push deep, entrench short". To let your soldiers entrench properly - you need to push a bit deeper and then fall back, when trenches are guarded. So I'm not arguing about Ukraine recapturing few empty fields am I? But Russia still has bridgehead and haven't lost a single village, despite pro Ukrainian NPCs claiming that bridgehead is finished already due to one biased map painting it all as Ukrainian territory. Are you arguing against that or no?

  989. According to the New York Times - in 2023 Russia captured more land than Ukraine btw

  992.  @markusmachel397  no they don't. Do you think Ukraine will continue resisting after being pushed behind Dnepr? If Russia can't cross it - Ukraine also can't cross to it either

  994. I don't get your logic. In a slow pacing conflicts the side with more fire power usually has lower losses. And pretty much everyone agrees that Russia is terribly outguns Ukraine We also know that Russia could sustain and grow their army with only volunteers for 2 years (since the last mobilization), while Ukraine has manpower shortages despite snatching people off streets in never-ending mobilization for 2 years
