Ukraine Drives Russia Back At Vovchansk & Terny!

is Ukraine starting to push Russia back in multiple places on the front lines just what does this mean for the war at large and what does it mean for Russia I’m Paul US Army Combat veteran let’s talk about it okay so this is really interesting to me uh because in the last 24 hours yeah we’ve seen Russian advances near some areas like vika uh you could see here a small Advance into a Windbreak um as well as in Kiva uh again we’re seeing Russian forces make these kind of marginal advances um into the city advancing block by block this is something Russia’s been doing uh for several weeks but there’s two interesting uh several weeks rather several months but we’re seeing for the first time Ukraine actually push back in some substantive amount of their territory you can see near the towns of terany and yolka uh Ukrainian forces are actually driving Russians back especially into this kind of contested Zone uh again is this a a big stunning offensive no is this high value terrain they’re seizing uh not really I think it looks like it’s giving them some breathing room around tany and yamka probably because these are two cities in the low ground and Ukraine probably needs uh to have higher ground to hold defensive positions but the point is not that this is tactically significant per se it’s that when you combine it with other information right like the fact that in um vens Russian forces are continuing their withdrawal you can see here that within the town of Ven uh significant portions of Russian occupied uh blocks have been forced back including the fact that some Russians look like they might actually be trapped behind Ukrainian lines you can see Russian forces here in this uh vens Center are actually partially encircled uh with Ukrainian forces to their North uh east and south so this is not what the thing you would have if Russia was conducting a controlled withdrawal from volens it just wouldn’t happen right uh now don’t I’d never put it back put it past Russia to either just sacrifice troops uh and leave them in place to be killed or captured and I wouldn’t put it past Russian command to be so poor that these troops withdrawal is more of a vague Direction than a really coherent plan but generally Russia does not fight the war stupidly uh they just fight the war with an with the term acceptable losses uh you know highlighted and bolded so this is could be a sign of just Russia being Russia but it could be a sign of a breakdown in their command and generally if Russia’s withdrawing to preserve its combat power then leaving some combat power behind the line so to speak um is seems kind of counterintuitive um you could see here War mapper has another uh more broad summary of this area where you can see that some portions of previously Russian controlled areas right here near staria um as well as near tery in the eastern part of vens you see all of this is is a sort of Russian withdrawal kind of happening across the board now because this is so new it seems like a lot of this hasn’t yet been fully reported well I say that this looks about right honestly um Russian forces holding this terrain here and yeah Russian forces also being this has them actually cut off uh so I think this is seems approximate to to cor um likely this Eastern part maybe has some larger advances you may also have more advances near staria but I think this could be a sign that things are not all hunky dory for Putin’s troops now if you’re interested in seeing some of the footage of the fighting here you want to become a member at combat vet news.com combat vet news is my Channel or my it’s my patreon equivalent uh you guys know that uh the powers that be at YouTube do not like my content I don’t know how else to tell you this um it’s routinely demonetized sometimes even when I cover uh stories that large media Outlets use their actual footage right and and transform it in my own videos they’ll demonetize me sometimes I will get demonetized um or sort of Shadow spiked um when I cover particularly uh political topics so I depend on you guys for support right and you guys have been great um and twice a week we find the uncensored combat footage from across the front lines we do a deep dive breakdown into how tactics are changing and how uh how the fighting is evolving over time so any one of these tiers is going to get you access to that we’re going to roll out some new benefits though for the lieutenant and Colonel te here in the next week or two so be sure to uh get in while the getting is good and of course these tiers will get you the shout out at the end of the videos and which I you know appreciate uh or I appreciate all you guys but I especially appreciate those liutenant Colonel here so check it out the new video is literally dropping today so you don’t want to miss it okay so the other thing that I thought was interesting just just sort of an aside is that there is reportedly some fighting let’s see if we can find it here in a kind of unusual spot uh let’s see here we go fighting continues near sat nit kachak now you can see when we zoom out this is a small band here in the northern border with between Russia and Ukraine not anywhere of particular significance right not really on the road to anywhere not definitely not on the road to harke and it goes into some pretty mountainous terrain so why would they choose would Putin choose to deploy troops here when he already had kind of a disaster invol Chens right like why would he even attempt to breach here especially given the fact that US policy has changed and Russian troops are no longer secure over the border right this doesn’t make a lot of sense it it’s I it makes me think it’s some kind of faint or something because again Russian forces really are seem focused on advancing in denet and leans um they seem to have realized that this harke uh sort of opening of a northern front was just a disaster and so I I don’t know I feel like this might be some kind of some kind of faint some kind of gorilla move something something else um it’s very bizarre and very very puzzling now in any other news there is not really been a ton but I do want also just shout out that Sergey lavro telling everybody exactly what we already knew right uh this is uh the Russian foreign minister has said that Russia will not even start negotiations until Ukraine yields more of its territory it’s a condition a precondition for negotiations right and so that Russia has open to dialogue with Europe only quote based on the recognition of the territorial territorial realities enshrined in the Russian Constitution which as you guys know the Russian Parliament Putin directed them to uh declare the luans detet uh zepia and heran oblasts as Russian Sovereign territory which is funny because it both is and isn’t depending on when it’s convenient for Russia right it is not Russian Sovereign territory because again Russian nuclear Doctrine says they can use nukes to defend their Sovereign territory but the fact that Ukraine is trying to push it out says that even Russia knows this is actually just a bunch of hoie right and again the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine uh mean literally nothing to someone like lav and this is of course reflective of the fact that Putin knows he’s finally winning he’s finally in the driver seat making more territorial advances than the ukrainians and for him these calls to negotiate are sort of preposterous right and he is like hey if you want to negotiate with me you have to do so in a way that gives me basically everything I want so anyway guys that’s all I had thank you so much to the colonel tier members of combat vet news thank you so much to the lieutenant tier members I could not do this without you guys I appreciate you so much and I will see you in the next one cheers

  9. The area round Sotnytskiy Kozachok and a few other places like Kozinka some 23-24 km to the west are contested since march. Sometimes over the border sometimes on Ukrainian soil. Usually these are actions/raids of the Russian volunteer corps.

  12. Ukrainians are going to be the best fighters for they practically fight and win those who are expected to be strong to the humiliation and turned them into weapons beggars

  14. I, as an American, have decided to declare Paris as my sovereign territory. Do you think I can get away with that?

    I think the Parisians and the French government might disagree with that.

  15. CELEBRATING MEDIOCRITY is not healthy —desperation at its worst — Russia has been winning Cities despite NATO support ————————————– i think UKRAINE will go down in history as the only Nation tat was supported b 50 military powers of the world and still lost terribly

  16. Some areas of Russian troops are withdrawing, but they are moving back to trench areas. Ukraine is targeting the barrier troops to allow Russian troops to withdraw more safely. I don't see a rout.

  21. I don't think Russia is withdrawing. I think you are seeing mass desertion. Their best troops are gone. The Ukrainians blew up the Chechen blocking units and word has reached the front ranks.

  23. Attacking Ukraine on new portion of the border = permission from US to attack russian territory behind it. Masterful tactic from Putler 😁

  24. Some wars have a negotiated ending and some are to the death. Wars between brothers can be particularly vicious. This war looks like it will be to the death. Underestimating the number of casualties Ukraine is willing to endure is a huge mistake by Putin. During WWII Ukraine suffered between 5 and 7 million deaths and that was just 7 years after Stalin starved 5 million Ukrainians to death. After losing at least 5 million people Ukraine was still fighting at the end of the war. At the estimated 3 to 1 loss figure Russia would have to lose at least 15 million before defeating Ukraine. Are Russian citizens willing to lose that many citizens in what is essentially a foreign war? To defend Russian homeland from the NAZIs I think they would. To try and conquer Ukraine, probably not. Russia will probably have to lose many more for this war to end. For Ukraine it would have to lose every man, woman, and child in Ukraine for it to end. As to Ukrainians actually being Russians. I knew a Ukrainian immigrant. If you made the mistake of calling her a Russian, you didn't make the same mistake twice. Knowing her, Ukrainians will fight to the death. Putin is not winning. He is just marking time to the inevitable. Time is not on his side like he thinks it is. In a war of attrition, the smart money is on Ukraine.

  26. The problem Ukraine has is they are fighting an army that doesn't give a shit about its soldiers, the Russian military lets wounded men just die where they fall rather than medivac them, they spend next to zero on medical aid, they dont even colect the dead they simply let them rot in the field.

  27. So there are reports that the 36th marine brigade are moving forward in the high ground,in the northeast of Volchansk,if successful they will have a greater chance of controlling the battlefield 👍👍👍🇺🇦💪😊

  28. Got a buddy at the front. He has training and he isn't from URK. He survived since summer 2022, so he isn't a sandbag. He doesn't see your optimism and is only still there because he doesn't want his boys to be used as sandbags. Both side only seem to care about officers, who can blame them, both side were trained under the same doctrine. If you actually want to have a report from the UKR front and UKR side, I can try to facilitate. Sadly what you report doesn't match with what I hear. Everything I know is direct but devolves into hearsay right here by my post.

    Language would be English

  29. 😂 more speculation which I’m afraid you just never get right Paul. You wouldn’t put it past the Russians to just leave their troops to be killed or captured. Where do you come up with the bs. You say you have military experience? Like what? A grunt or an officer? Just asking so I can make sense of your thinking.
