according to a US mercenary fighter there, the life expectancy for a UAF soldier in Bakhmut is 4 hours! He called it a meat grinder. So Anders' comments on attrition is utter nonsense. Gives an indication of how little Zelenski values his soldiers lives, rather than facing the embarrassment of losing a city.

When you say things aren't going well for the Russians with the relatively few gains I think you need to consider a couple of things Anders. 1. Russia is up against virtually a NATO army, trained and equiped over the last 8 years.(as they new this war was coming :-)) 2. Bakhmut and adveeka the most fortied cities in arguably the history of european warfare. 3. Both of these essential cities to Donekst/Lughansk defence are technically surrounded and being saturated by Russian artillery (6:1 outgunned) 4. The fact that Russians haven't stormed anyware is testimony to what Col. McGregor and Scott Ritter claim that Russia with their artillery superiority are fighter a war of attrition. Bombing the bejesus out of the Ukraines then move slowly forward when safer to do so. It is ludicrous and beyond comprehension to imply the Ukrainians have the luxury of carrying out a war of attrition infering more Russians are dying than Ukrainians. With the slow movement of the front line and artillery superiority of 6:1 there can be only one outcome. The kviv indendent was gloating over 16,000+ Russian soldiers have died since the start of the war, we know most of the Ukrainian army which started with around 450K and 200K reservists have all but perished(over 100K KIA). 3 rounds of mobilization i Ukraine so far and they have resorted to kidnapping of men in cities around the country. Now with the Russia capacity to manufacture more artillery shells than the west can supply Ukraines I'd say time is on the Russians's side, fighting a more and more depleted Ukrainian military who are spending more shells a day that the west can supply in a month. So I think the Russians would be pretty happy with the way things are going. To say Russia has spent all it available resources on a winter offensive is simply wrong. The majority of the mobilized forces haven't entered Ukraine as yet. Not sure where you get your information from. Utter rubbish to claim Putin orders his generals for an all out offensive during winter to sure up political support, it hasn't started yet. The ground never froze enough for the 250K mobilized soldiers to begin and now the rain season will also cause a delay. I do enjoy the rosey picture you paint for the Ukraines, no doubt they'll soon be in Moscow. Looking forward to your next video.

@eleaticeyes813 The areas in question involve tactical withdrawals, adding weight to Ritters' and McGregors argument that Russia is prepared to give up ground in order to save troops. They were totally over extended back then, not the case now. I'm not a Russian apologist just tired of the chorus of lies from western media who ignore half the causes behind the war and are prepared to fight this to the last Ukrainian. This is a bit like the Corona virus circus you have to ignore those experts whose income depend on toeing the line and those experts who are prepared to break from the narrative, risk careers and take the logical path. Proof in the pudding with all the shit coming out now how we were lied to about the vaccine. There is no happy ending for Putin as he never wanted this war, but they will win it at the cost of a nation unfortunately.
