Russia continues to push ahead in the Donbas which could offer a gateway to the rest of the eastern region.

In the last week, they’ve made rapid advances in the north, capturing over 40 square miles of territory and entering Vovchansk – one of the largest towns in the region.

Sky’s security and defence editor Deborah Haynes has visited both frontline and reports on the challenges facing Ukraine’s defenders.

  1. Sorry to see Ukraine losing, but angry that the western MSM has been lying to their viewers about the true direction of the war for some time. The Ukraine army is stretched and exhausted; outgunned by a far more numerous enemy which can afford to rotate troops.

  2. A large majority of comments ridicvle UKraine on accovnt in some instances regarding 2011 NATO militarily helping their African throat slashing,trillion dollar plvndering,genocide against all Jews chanting➕swastika painting wiccan Libyan Rebels who were also shovting democracy now while waving biblical Heb hating pharaoh dracvla's red black👹wolfgirl*🌙flag over Jewish👫👶👪Gaddafi's peacefvl,only Green one🔼🔫🐺✌💹

  3. MSM: ukraine is winning
    REALITY: NOPE there losing russian POW camp is over loaded of Ukrainian troops who were either captured or surrendered

  4. A negotiated peace is the logical and sane choice. Continuing to support the US led proxy war against Russia is destroying Ukraine and European citizens grow poorer by the day as their public money is wasted on Ukraine.

  5. Sorry to say but NATO must think about its future as it hasnt been able to defeat Russian dispite all the effort they generated.

  6. Ukranian blood being sacrificed to appease the American Ego. The USA is well aware that Ukraine will lose more territory and man to Russian guns, and they will do nothing about that. If the USA really wanted Ukraine to win, they should give them F16 and long-range missiles and dispatch American soldiers to defend and support Kiev. It is also folly for Ukrainians to plan a full-scale war with a superpower like Russia based on promises and donations from other nations that have their own internal problems. Surely if Americans cared so much about Ukraine, they would not spend months debating on arms aide to Ukrainian while Russia advances taking large swamps of land. BETTER negotiate before more land and manpower is lost.

  7. Let's tell the tender human story to manipulate the masses. No real care for the human story though is there? This proxy war has made billions for Blackrock and US/UK arms manufacturers at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives. These humans are just collateral damage in the great financial enterprise that has been 10 years in the making.

  8. For anyone who cannot see this, then his or her education must have been a waste of time: russia, with its size, its grievances over decades & decades of nato's expansion eastwards, its war plan over decades & its alliances today, just cannot lose this war to Ukraine !!!! What's more: to contemplate Ukraine winning a war against Russia is like contemplating Taiwan winning a war against china !!!!!!! … one must be a fool living in cookoo land if he or she did contemplate so.

  9. They strategized based on the experiences they gained from the first attacks. I don't think the Ukrainian army can handle this speed

  10. This is terrorism , genocide of an entire nation and the West are just standing by watching…shameful !

  11. So all the sky news stories telling us Ukraine was winning was lies when will people wake up I thought doing the same thing again and again when it fails is a sign of insanity
