@hansjorgkunde3772 Russia got air superiority, and they certainly give ground air support. Choppers can be devastating against infantry. The point that Ukrainian forces attack only during night, i have heard that from my Father. He was professional Soldier during WW2 on German side. The Russians HAVE NEVER HAD air superiority in Ukraine EVER. This is probably the most surprising things about Russian forces during the entire war that they're fighting against an airforce that's vastly inferior to theirs and they still have never been able to dominate the skies. If they did then Ukrainian artillery and HIMARs/MLRS systems would be partially if not significantly destroyed and reduced in effectiveness and their logistics would be taking much more damage than they currently are. Ukrainian portable anti-air as well as large anti-air systems have been doing a good job of keeping the Russian airforce afraid from carrying out deep strikes behind Ukrainian lines. We just saw last week when Russian airforce tried to be more active and they lost several jets and helis for their efforts. He mentioned that they could do things only during the night as the allied forced had air superiority and how devastating this fact alone already was. If the Ukrainians are operating at night its because they have the advantage in night vision goggles that allows them to attack and cause trouble to the Russians that they can't easily stop. Why do you think the US is investing so much into night vision technology? Because they want to be able to have a huge advantage over their enemy at night where few countries can match them. Encircled forces however are at a disadvantage that is a given. But after the map they are not encircled yet. If the Russians in Lyman aren't completely encircled its pretty close and they will soon have to make the decision to either stand and fight and potentially get trapped or to fall back to more defensible positions while they still have a chance to do so.

@Vedioviswritingservice Yes Bakhmut. The fabled city that Alexander from the Duran said was on the verge of being taken by the Russians right after the Kharkiv offensive drove them back over the Oskil river and yet its still in Ukrainian hands all this time. At this point I would be surprised if the Russians could launch any major armored offensive or any large scale offensive period unless they train their newly mobilized troops really well and arm them good. It would be a major victory for the Russians to not lose anymore land they've occupied at this point.

@mabamijebenjaminese6416 The Donbas militia were losing badly to the Ukrainian army in 2014 and the fighting would've been over and done with had the Russians not sent in their army to turn the tide and push the Ukrainians back. So if the militia in the Donbas can get help from outside sources and even get Russian soldiers to fight on their side, then why are they crying foul about Ukraine getting support from the west? At least they're doing almost all the fighting on the ground themselves unlike the militia that would fall if the Russians weren't doing much of the fighting for them right now.

The greatest military in history spent 20 years trying to defeat goat herders in Afghanistan, and failed. Afghanistan was a failure because the US was interested in helping the Afghans build a nation when they themselves weren't interested and capable in building a nation. And it all fell apart because the Afghan army was a joke that had few effective units. If the Afghan army showed the same will to fight as the Ukrainians have they would likely still be in control of the cities and the US and maybe other western countries would still be supporting them with more supplies and advisors. But Russia has been systematically tearing the AFU to pieces. If that's the case then why is Russia so desperate to get more warm bodies into Ukraine ASAP with their mobilization? Why are the Russians losing a war that they should relatively easily should be winning? No doubt Ukrainians have taken a ton of military casualties, but the Russians have likely taken much worse which is why they're taking all these drastic measures and threatening the use of nukes to try and turn things around. I feel sorry for all the Ukrainian lives being utterly wasted by callous NATO decision makers. Why aren't you feeling sorry for all the needless Russian soldier and Donbas militia deaths that could've been avoided if Putin didn't go insane and invade in the first place?

@sapphosplace I always try to be wary of reports until I see at least several reporting the same thing and its surprising to see the Russians still giving up ground relatively easily in the east. Territory that might've taken the Russians weeks to take they're now giving back in a matter of days. Seems like they're holding the strongest down south in the Kherson area, but I wonder how much longer the Russians can hang on if the Ukrainians can keep blowing up their supplies and command and control units.

@eileenmcconnell4150 The Russians don't have much air cover either otherwise they would be doing much better in this war than they currently are.

@zachariasobenauf1895 i thought it was a civil war after a coup d´etat - and the seperatist claimed their independance against an undemocratic regime change government - the Russian stopped a possible ethnical genocide as the "new" ukrainian government acted a policy of de-russification against their russian population You only call it an 'undemocratic regime change' because the Ukrainians didn't elect another Russian lackey to do Putin's bidding like Lukashenko. Also what kind of 'ethnic genocide' are you talking about? Russia was at war with Ukraine in 2014 and today NATO is leading a war against Russia - unfortunatly the western parliaments didn´t vote for this war In 2014 Ukraine was putting down an internal uprising by Donbas militia and they were about to finish the job before Russia decided to invade and help the militia push the UA forces back. Also what happened to the narrative that Russian forces were super good and capable of kicking NATO's ass? Not even a few months ago the Duran and other pro-Russian hacks were constantly saying that NATO would be no match for the mighty Russian armed forces and now many of these same people are whining about NATO countries helping the Ukrainians? My how quickly the narrative has changed where we went from Russia being able to defeat NATO to now them being exposed to not even being able to defeat an inferior force that's backed by NATO and we have the pro-Russian folks crying foul about an unfair fight.

@mabamijebenjaminese6416 who is crying? just simply stating fact so people will know AFU will not stand a chance without d west. Plus with all the help Russia still control about 20% of Ukrainian land. Well its pretty obvious that without western support that the Ukrainians no matter how bravely they fought it would be near impossible to stop the Russians when they have vastly less heavy equipment, a small airforce and not alot of ammunition and supplies to sustain a long term war. The will to fight isn't enough when you don't have enough bullets, shells and weapons to fight with. This was the same with the Donbas militia in 2014 when they were losing badly to the Ukrainian army and they were on the verge of getting wiped when the Russian army stepped in to turn things around and push the Ukrainians back. The thing that you don't mention is that even if you get the necessary supplies and weapons to fight with, you still need the men to be able to learn to fight with those weapons and have the will to fight for their country. This didn't happen in Iraq or Afghanistan which is why despite all the support given to them the US could not get the Afghan or Iraqi army to be an effective fighting force like the Ukrainian army has become and as soon as the Americans left things turned for the worse. The Ukrainians received support, but they also had the ability to learn quickly much of the knowledge that their NATO instructors gave them which is why they're fighting much better now. Plus with all the help Russia still control about 20% of Ukrainian land. The Russians are controlling 20% of Ukrainian land FOR NOW. At the rate the Russians are retreating, who knows if in the next few months if the Ukrainians won't take much of it back. Several months ago this looked like a fantasy for the Ukrainians, but now it seems like a real possibility when Ukrainian troops are getting better trained and armed while the Russians seem to be throwing increasingly less trained and equipped troops into battle.
