  1. All is not well. Nick Connolly's demeanour is grim.

    Pokrovsk.will not be as drawn out as Bakhmut. There are fewer Ukrainians to defend Pokrovsk. A lot of them were slaughtered in Bakhmut, when they should have withdrawn; more were lost in the hare brained counter offensive of 2024, and more are pinned and slaughtered in the even more brainless Kursk incursion.

    Connolly is clueless as to why Zelensky is firing his team.

  2. Using a city as fortification without evacuating the civilians is a war crime. 😅

    Well done DW, reporting war-crimes as being "heroic".

  3. Absolutlely pro ruzzian dw reporting,this supossedly austrian military guy was dooming ukraine forces from day 1 and indians are just leeching what ever they can from this situation,since ruzzians pay the most in the info war they seem to be on their side all the time also

  4. Disabling its logistic function in the conflict is more relevant than actually controlling the city itself.

  5. No it's not a trap Ukraine has the higher ground it's a trap for the Russians they're having them come closer because Russia has the lower ground Ukraine's will be waiting with Drones it's going to be Mass casualties for Russians

  6. Scholz. work for a cease-fire. Stop being a puppet in the hands of the US war industry! Europe doesn't want to be torn apart as the US did to the Middle East!

  7. Surprisingly Russia advancing with their primitive washing machines against top notch combined NATO machinery

  8. Ukraine is just about to crumble, let's face it! The incursion into the Kursk region was foolish and Washington, who pushed for this ludicrous attack, has failed its objective. They all thought that the Russians will take the bait and concentrate their forces there. Well, surprise, surprise, that didn't happen. This "adventure" has the same signature as the failed 2023 summer offensive. Thousands of CIA and Pentagon so-called analysts have misjudged the Russians once again!
