2. Just keep belivin in your bullshit. The reality would blow your mind.

3. I don't see things so positive. Zelensky said casualties are 3 to 1. Since May, Russia lost about 90000 troops. That means Ukraine lost about 30000. They can't sustain those losses like Russia can.

4. This cope video funny

5. Yeee Ukraine is winning 😂

6. With F-16s coming on-line in Ukraine as we speak, this kind of advance is going to be extremely costly. Russia is going to have difficulty bringing armor up that railway if Ukraine starts lining up JDAMs on the trains coming down the track. Or even worse, if Ukraine hits Avdiivka's rail yards, it's going to strand thousands of Russian troops West of there without supplies, food, fuel, etc.
   Russian air defense is not set up to defend areas that large and spread out. A week of no food and trying to strain puddles and getting infected with Giardia and Leptospira. Have fun trying to fight with uncontrollable diarrhea or kidney failure.

7. Months ago, it took weeks to take a small town or to jump to the next treeline. Now the Russian forces make jumps of several kilometer per day and take new towns on a daily and sometimes hourly basis. The maps of the eastern front show rather large progress in several directions. In the south the Russian forces east of Vuhledar moved north and cut one of the supply roads to the city. To the northwest of Donetsk city Russian forces made huge progress towards Pokrovsk city, one of the main road and rail crossings in the region. Pokrovsk is already in normal artillery range and the Ukrainian forces defending its approaches seem to be utterly worn out.
   Northeast of the Pokrovsk front Russian forces are in the process of taking the New York agglomeration of several cities from the north as well as from the south.

   A bit further north moves from Kurdiumivka and from Chasiv Yar are aiming at taking Konstantinovka, another major city controlling various crossroads.

   All the above moves were possible because Ukraine had moved whatever was available towards the Kharkiv front. The defense units left behind in the Donetsk region were simply not enough to hold the line against the still growing Russian forces.

   A new push for mobilization has helped Ukraine to bring fresh troops to the front. They are however not increasing the forces but simply replace the large losses Ukrainian brigades have had. A recent New York Times piece mentioned this: Ukraine Is Conscripting Thousands More Troops. But Are They Ready?
   
   Large numbers of recruits will arrive at the front in the coming weeks, soldiers and military analysts said, but some are poorly trained or out of shape.
   Toretsk is part of the New York agglomeration. A Ukraine brigade has a nominal strength of some 3,000 to 4,000 men. If it has needed 2,000 replacements in two months, as the medic claims, it must have taken enormous losses.

   The new recruits are mostly untrained and not fit for war. The units they are sent to lack the junior leaders needed to train them. The new men will thereby become cannon fodder with little chance to survive Russian attacks or bombing.

   The new mobilization was partly intended to create new reserves. But when active troops need replacements of this size the numbers left for new forces will be too small to make a difference.0

   In a recent interview with the Guardian the Ukrainian commander in chief General Syrsky made some optimistic noise about 'winning'. But the numbers he cited all point to an overwhelming Russian force that will easily smash whatever is left in Ukraine to oppose them.

   There are little if any new supplies coming for the Ukrainian forces. The 'West' has given Ukraine everything it could spare and anything that comes on top of that will have to be newly produced. The capacities to do that in the required numbers are no longer existing.

   Aside from the immediate military problems the civilian side of Ukraine is on an ever accelerating down-path. Russian attacks have destroyed nearly all conventional power generation capacities in Ukraine. There are daily blackouts. Food is perishing in the shops and many industries had to stop working.

   The Ukrainian government needs money. It needs to introduce new taxes against the resistance of its population. It has already defaulted on foreign debt and new credit lines will be difficult to come by.

   The real pressure though will come this winter. Large parts of Ukraine's cities depend on the now dysfunctional power generating capacities to heat their Soviet style housing blocks. With electricity and heat lacking more and more people will think of moving abroad.

   It is unlikely that Poland and other neighboring countries of Ukraine will generously welcome even more refugees from Ukraine.

8. I'm reading that the eastern boarder. Of ukrain is being reinforced more heavily to keep Ukrainian men in because they are all fleeing to Europe. It's harder and harder to find men to fight it's sad they are so outnumbered ukrain does not have a chance without NATO soldiers entering the fight

9. You ain’t no veteran, I was in your unit and you never deployed, pog

10. tell your viewers the truth. 80% of the supplies to Donbas go through Pokrovsk. When Pokrovsk fall, Ukraine has a big problem. US Marine here Semper Fi

11. F-16s can push these advances back if they can take out the supply lines.

12. Let's go. The Russian steam roller just keeps on chugging.

13. Inept General in charge of the defense really shows and has to be fired. Zelensky felt threated by General Valerii Zaluzhnyi who had done an admirable job of holding the Russians a bay for two years and sent him out of the country as an embassador to UK. Ukrainians in the army now paying for the stupid Zelensky move.

14. As Russia advances into new territories do the people in these place evacuate or remain on their farms and homes>?

15. Where is Ukraine getting the bodies to stop Russia? There are reports that foreign nationals are being tricked into fighting for Russia. They joined for money not for the cause. The population of Russia is larger and can take the loss better than Ukraine. The maps show this. What would have happened if the peace talks were allowed by Johnson months into the war?

16. Do you ever have any good news about ukraine? Are they losing at this point?

17. if sirski really thinks these are minor gains past month.. then theres something wrong with him.

18. And putin will lose another 5k men and 50 tanks in 1 week

19. Ukraine drawing Russian forces into kill zones so we will soon see increased casualties and scrap!

20. Nice work Paul.

21. There can be no more restless a spirit than one who only finds out the truth after dying on the battlefield…

22. What have I done? Nothing. Good luck to the Ukrainians and the Russians.

23. HOW !!!!? are YOU getting Utube $ !??
    Boggles the imagination to be honest

24. Happy to support however I can Paul. Keep up the great work!!

25. As expected the source of OP is copuim and copuim. Ukraine is "winning" please!!!!

26. Few months ago you were celebrating how Ukraine stopped the Ocheretyne breakthrough and stalled the Russian advance. Now look at how that aged like milk.

27. the question is why are you yuping and yuking about what have everybody else has done for Ukraine and why aren't you in Ukraine fighting for Ukraine?

28. 5:20 "again, is it major or significant? no!" seems like this combat veteran is so lost in his delusion, that he doesn't consider this massive push and rapid advances towards Pokrovsk as major. Next time if we see Pokrovsk falling, this dude is gonna be coping by saying that Russians captured a useless city with no strategic importance.

29. I'm glad both sides are winning. Ukraine wins on YouTube and Russia wins on the battlefield

30. At 0.13 seconds into the video. My answer to the question is i voted for former President Trump. So don't blame me for Russian aggression on Ukraine. Part of the blame goes to Biden and his voter's. The other part goes to Putin cuz he's just plain evil!

31. What are you talking about? I support Russia a 100%. Aggression?, for me Ukraine is the aggressor, they attacked the Donbas for 8 years,

32. Go russia 🇷🇺

33. The operation in Kharkiv was intended to draw Ukrainian forces away from the main operations in Donetsk. It succeeded. It was not a failure.
