  1. Someone suggested the USA behind coups, so against France! The consequences are dire if this was a strategy to teach Macron a lesson. At home color revolution. Very bad timing but Uncle Sam's old habits die hard.

  2. Best news! Surovikin should have had the post since last year!

  3. Desperate people will do desperate things.... I mean the EU.

  4. RF army is not leaving Kherson.

  5. Seems all attempts by the UAF is thwarted by the RFA; must be very frustrating for Ukrainians.

  6. About time to put Surovikin back to lead the SMO and in attack mode.

  7. I agree. Unlike Dima, I don't believe RF is going to give up anymore ground to AFU in Kherson.

  8.  @incognito1409 As I understand it, Surovikin WAS in that "overall" command position up until Kherson. Then Garismov came in and Surovikin got moved to a different position. I remember thinking it was a mistake and a political move for a General who HAD to be promoted as you call it for "military chain of command". I think now Surovikin will be BACK in that overall command position, which is where he should be. Isn't that so if he's just been given the position to REPLACE Garismov? Perhaps Dima can clarify the chain-of-command?

  9. Agreed 💯

  11. When zooming out over the map it seems like the UA are creating a cauldron for themselves, with Russians on 3 sides. When we see Russian offensives they push outwards with defense forces to their sides and see if they can hold, then next move out and eventually they build cauldrons. UAF seems to be going in too deep. The Russian map already shows that they retreated to river boundary and is stopped. From this, and also knowing that Russians have been building up forces for weeks, and are currently regrouping, it bodes badly for UA.

  12. 12:03 Dima, I stopped listening at 12 minutes. You have a good idea. But the operation as is from the Ukraine side is over. It has been over since before the counter offensive. If I may say, you are looking at the minute tactical details and not the strategic side. May I suggest an alternative? The Ukrainians were led into this under false "story". They were lured by money, the lend-lease, training, armaments, the building of the "impenetrable" trenches and of course their hatred was fuelled with "as long as it takes". Most likely also the NATO A5 as we have seen! The West ALWAYS wanted the Crimea and then the whole of RF. Anything else in the Op was for Ukraine. First, RF foiled plans with "little green men" and took Crimea. Then RF entered (SMO, which eas desired and provoked) but Russia took a lot of land and with it the "people" very, very quickly. RF "lit up" the globe! 3rd thing that went wrong and has the highest cost! This 3rd thing has literally stopped NATO in its tracks! NATO now wants to attack Moscow (saying it's AFU gone rogue) but it's a line that should not be crossed! NATO now has no choice but to go in. That is what it will do! Depending on where the preparations are on both sides, we are looking at the slow march into WW3. Ukraine now is in a holding pattern. OK, back to your idea....

  14.  @incognito1409  You keep contradicting my understanding so I checked "Google" with info I picked up during these last months: I searched for Garismov and I am right! Surovikin was deputy after Garismov took over! Garismov "Commander of the Joint Group of Forces in the Special Military Operation zone Incumbent Assumed office 11 January 2023 Deputy Sergey Surovikin Oleg Salyukov Alexei Kim Preceded by Sergey Surovikin". Up until Kherson. I've nothing more to say! Goodbye.

  22. He reports from what is shown in 3 maps, as you see. You can look at "Defense Politics Asia" channel, who is not European, so no bias for or against either side. He does give his opinion as he has been in the army. Or find a Ukrainian biased channel. LEAVE DIMA ALONE!

  23. You are right Dima but your reasoning is incorrect as to why RF must win! First Ukraine will not become a land grab from Poland and others in the West nor a Base for enemies. People in those regions (west UA) must decide where/which country they belong to when dust has settled (even then some years). Second, yes Ukraine lowlands in the East must be secured for RF. So long as humans cannot fly, those resident there must feel safe and secure from attack, as must RF. 1000 years is way too long for humans. We are beasts in clothing and act much worse.

  24. 8:36 Dima, STOP 🛑 reporting on Udai's diary pls. This is a sick individual and I do not why YOU are enamoured by him. I don't think RF would allow this either. Just STOP! War is cruel ENOUGH already. You'll turn this sickness into the "Red Baron" 😧 STOP

  25. Exactly the same to the EU Countries. This has ALL already been done to the collective South and East countries with the help of Western countries but now SAME actions are for European States. SAME that is done to the peoples of the Global South countries with extreme inflation, is going to be SAME for European countries. Just as Ukrainians believed the promises, the Europeans did the SAME. They think they are different and favored. Will never be done to them! I know I'm late to the thread so no need to reply! You keep in back of your mind re Uncle Sam. Europe will be cannibalized to save the USA. PS Now turn of the Poles. The Baltics stay very, very quiet now.

  26. Typical how people ALWAYS have an opinion AFTER the events. Nobody said anything at the start! Ukraine should NEVER had made the attacks without having the full weaponary Zaluzhany asked for!!! I'm still for Russia.

  27. You can't believe what the Americans say! Hallow words. Carry on knowing they lied and will continue to attack China as before and escalate further.

  28. ​​ @onceawirealwaysawire  Contrast that with how MUCH MORE "Ukraine" they got and KEPT. 😂😂. Now RF.

  29. Your plan is too defensive. Armies need to attack, even in Winter. I think there will be no hold/wait = too expensive and too much time lost.

  33. Fruitless fighting by the Ukrainians. This fight has been over for months and they continue (bar the fighting). It's nonesense. Makes no sense whatsoever. Is there no one leading this country?
    2
  34. Only shows stubbornness. Ukraine lost in every way months ago. As we say, done bar the fighting. It's just so long as there are armaments around but nothing else. No economy, no nothing. Stupidity really.

  37. The Journalist's killing crossed my mind as a tit-for-tat killing. Wasn't there a Reporter arrested by Russia? Then to get one over on Pergozin, they (West?), they stick it to the guy. It's the kind of thing we expect from the West!

  38. Transnistiria (sp?) is another Country AND is NOT part of NATO. This would be UA attacking another Country. Would be another War for UA. I don't think they can risk another front, UNLESS this is where NATO has already amassed troops and weapons. This was talked about last Summer, when Moldova kept saying it did not want to enter the war. Let's hope the Transnistirians have already "moved" the armaments and it will be a fools errand for the UA. Better to foil the plan ahead of time than to react to it. Should the UA follow through on this, then I fully support the RF's attack on Odessa and the taking the territory to link to Transnistiria.

  39. Put should leave the operation under the military. Politicians should not 🚫 lead wars or get in the way! Listen and assist in taking away blockages in decisions or resources only.

  40. They will bring their forces in to reinforce AFU, as they have already done, with foreign soldiers. No nonsense should be taken under in circumstances. Attack all and every troops, advisers, peacekeepers, charity workers, religious delegations....any circus acts. Nothing should be tolerated. Get them all out!

  41. They, Nato have been preparing all along. They are already in UA. We wait to hear how and when they will attack. Is it going to be now or wait till after Russian deployment.

  43. Ukraine's attacks can not be called an offensive or a counteroffensive. The RF had already held these areas for months! The Ukrainians attacked the flanks of the Bakhmut cauldron to RETREAT and evacuate their soldiers. They are simply holding back the closing "teeth" from enveloping them as they retreat. There will be no "greatest offensive" by the Ukrainians. Those days are gone!

  44. Looks like a funnel. Looks dangerous for the Ukrainians in the scheme of things.

  45. The numbers are horrendous. How can we believe these are Ukraine dead? Very difficult to believe, isn't it? One must question these numbers.

  46. 11:16 the RF needs to use the tactic of "interlacing fingers" at one time then bring forces from the right towards the opening, at the other end, for the gauntlet to be set.

  48.  @52Encinoman  Think again! It has been 200 days already. Do you see it as a man-power only issue that has determined the outcome so far? Next you'll say "winter's coming". I don't mean to be flippant but you can't just expect so many soldiers to just wait around. No, there will be a push forward.

  50.  @mattisuomalainen6056  You're asking the wrong side? Ask the Ukrainians how much they regret Putin's invasion? Also,this isn't the 1st time OTAN has "helped" a Country to "defend" themselves. Ukraine will be fine. OTAN never loses! 🤐

  54. Are there NO sensible people left in the West? Women, in large numbers, into war? To the last Ukrainians? Will it be there children next? Who will "look after" them?"

  57. No Dima, the West are not 🚫 going to stop with the F16s! They will keep going as long as there are proxies to fight the RF. The ONLY answer is to win conclusively and with capitulation. There must be NO ROOM for doubt or the victory to be excused away.

  58.  @jcym9058  I think you are right. RF defense lines are holding with rotation. If either side probes, it's not breaking the lines to make gains. It's not clear if they are evenly matched? We know RF have mobilised and are waiting for full deployment, equipment and weather. RF looks much stronger right now and odds are in their favour. I can't see RF losing the next round, like people are saying here.

  62. I agree, a lot of what is reported and shown of West's actions is used as publicity in the wider world. What's more, the actions of the West aren't hidden, such as the various sanction details, and it just makes the West look like idiots, power hungry, unfair and without regard to other nations. Same rules do not apply to West that are foisted on others. Stealing reserves, stealing yachts and houses they deliberately helped "hide". The visa issues x2. The price caps. Expulsion from UN. Arms supplies. NATO expansion. Coups and miles and miles of entrenchments built with western help. Minsk Agreements x2, deliberately used against Russians to buy time, while murdering and imposing racist policies in Ukraine. US and the rest of West actively wanting to kill the RF, in every way they can and in anything goes fashion. Russians couldn't buy this publicity if they had to pay for it and I've never seen my Country so close-up. Yet I don't know WHY Russia is the bad guy for all these *generations/years*. Why the Russians? I don't want to hear about ORCs. I want to understand WHY and for what reason(s) the West behaves this way.

  63. Putin doesn't need to rush at all. In fact the RF should keep NATO busy in UA for many, many years and defeat them. The rest of the World would be assured some peace and to restore their Countries. The West should be sanctioned and isolated to Europe only. RF will NOT 🚫 be "allowed" to lose. I'm certain of it! Let WW3 come, let nukes comes and destroy the instigators. Who would want to live in the world without the Russians= not me. ♥️💯👍♥️♥️♥️

  64. So this is the MAIN price (I know there are others) that the Ukrainians must pay. The West wants the Crimea Port and Base. This has always been the target. Even Zaluzany's hard comments make sense in this context. Of course it's a terrorist attack. It's all that's really left! Traitors too maybe if coming from the North?

  65. They have carteblanche by USA to do this. It will end.

  66. Dima, it is a case of "Won the battle but Lost the war" and "Lost the battle but Won the war". We know which side of the equation we all want to be on. Glad you are hopeful again, if a little overdone.

  68. He's a vlogger and he shows his sources. Find a pro-Ukraine site, there are plenty of them. Then you can have your non-exaggerated, uncritically, true Ru casualties/losses view point. This is the internet. We are watchers. Pro or against makes no difference to either side. None. We should be asking why it happened and how it can be stopped!

  69.  @meofamily4  Yes, I do take it at face value. It's same with a pro Ukrainian site. I've always realized that, on the internet, it is just an opinion, dressed up as a show. Don't rely on anything being the gospel truth. He's taking various sources and reporting what they say and adds his opinions. He's good. I like his presentations. I go to Ukrainian source, I accept that. I cross check as best as I can but never forget that it is but an opinion. I'd suggest you remember that too! Absolute truth is hard to find and there are no journalists in the war, with the troops, like the old WW days.

  71. Certainly looks like they've s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d o-u-t the AFU. Then there is the lure to enter the mouth and try to keep the "mouth-es" open. This is a terrible strategy when there is artillery, drones and air-attacks to contend with with your own forces and armaments are depleted. Surely the AFU sees this! Having "killed" all past attempts at diplomatic settlement, there is now only the victory card to play, in the mad, mad, crazy world.

  72. Waste, so much waste and gain NOTHING. It's collapsing around the Ukrainians.

  73. Dima, I saw another speculative plan of attack: Not Odessa because of the 120 days commitment for grain shipments and plenty of BTGs in place already to start taking Mykolayiv. The Northern buildup and the East-of-Donbass buildup shown in your map are to converge, like fingers of 2 hands interlacing. This is behind current UA Donbass entrenchments and Dnipro River, creating several lines of attack and encirclements. Ultimate aim to cut of supply roads to Donbass and open up Russian supply routes to Odessa (trains I think). This being faster and direct than the main dog-legged routes you showed today. What do you think?

  74. Didn't the USA use flame throwers against the Japanese. Those were held by each soldier as they burned them in caves and bunkers. Today, they deliver them over an area or in trenches thru missiles. Wars are for killing people in any way possible.
