Keywords

💡Russian losses

The video shows and describes multiple examples of Russian military losses on the battlefields in Ukraine. This includes destroyed Russian tanks, armored vehicles, and convoys that were ambushed by the Ukrainian forces. The large number of losses reveals Russia's struggle to advance and hold territory against fierce Ukrainian resistance.

💡Ukrainian counterattacks

The video mentions several Ukrainian counteroffensives and attacks targeting Russian positions, for example near Staryi Saltiv and Opytne. This demonstrates Ukraine's capability to take initiative and apply pressure on Russian forces despite Russia's larger military.

💡Russian territorial gains

The video analyzes Russian attempts to expand their territorial control, for example in Vuhledar and Bakhmut. However, Russia has made little progress, showing the limits of Russia's current military strategy against Ukrainian defenses.

💡Foreign military aid

The video references military aid from allies like the UK helping Ukraine - for example, British anti-drone systems that have helped Ukraine shoot down Iranian drones. Foreign assistance is enabling Ukraine's continued resistance against the Russian assaults.

💡Information warfare

The video exposes Russian propaganda and misinformation around the downing of a Russian military plane. Russia tried to blame Ukraine but is refusing transparent investigation. This highlights Russia's use of information as a weapon amidst the real armed conflict.

💡Economic warfare

Ukraine has started targeting Russian economic and energy sites, like oil refineries, with drone strikes. Damaging these facilities aims to curb Russia's ability to fund its war effort.

💡Stalemate

Despite local back-and-forth territorial changes, the video suggests an overall stalemate where neither side is able to make decisive breakthroughs on the battlefield that could turn the tide of the war.

💡Intensity of combat

The video reveals the intensity of fighting - fierce artillery duels, ambushes, counterattacks. Both sides are taking heavy casualties in the ongoing battle along the front lines.

💡Morale

The video contrasts high Ukrainian morale, where even civilians eagerly support the war effort, with declining Russian morale as soldiers face deadly conditions and unclear purpose. Morale is proving decisive.

💡Long war

There are no prospects for a ceasefire. The video warns that without direct NATO intervention, the stalemate could last years. The message is that the world should prepare for a long, drawn-out war in Ukraine.

play00:00

Russia is unable to expand their gains

play00:01

near to of divka at the same time

play00:04

Ukraine strikes the Russian army on the

play00:07

northern part with some success let's go

play00:10

to stoa and check the timeline it was

play00:12

yesterday and it is today just a light

play00:15

achievement of Ukrainian Army but

play00:17

nevertheless Russians were forced to

play00:19

retreat to the railroad which is now

play00:22

their main defense line hello my friends

play00:25

and welcome my name is Dennis and this

play00:27

is the latest update from Ukraine at

play00:29

first let let's go for more details into

play00:31

the southern part of ofd town where

play00:34

Russia has its assault Vector towards

play00:37

the town there were some of the

play00:38

communication underground lines which

play00:40

Russia used for their infantry

play00:42

advancement but now it seems like those

play00:45

lines were C were the Russian infantry

play00:48

just unable to move forward Ukraine has

play00:50

used the mlrs rocket artillery to Target

play00:53

the place it was confirmed today for

play00:56

sure so the Russian group definitely

play00:58

stuck in this place and the only Supply

play01:00

road which they have is this one which

play01:03

turned to be one more death Road for

play01:05

them because their going with there was

play01:07

ambushed one more Russian Convoy was

play01:09

stopped near to of divka Mostly because

play01:13

of the mines you may see the

play01:14

caterpillars are line from that tank as

play01:17

well by the way and here we have it too

play01:20

so Russia lost at least several of the

play01:22

vehicles out there on this video we may

play01:25

see one BMP one tank and one more BMP

play01:28

also with cater

play01:30

lying on the ground and here we have the

play01:32

classical turret separation of the

play01:34

Russian t72 tank on this video you may

play01:38

see how Russia easily abandons their

play01:40

vehicles on the front lines they go they

play01:43

run away and later on Ukraine finishes

play01:46

the Russian Vehicles using the Drone

play01:48

dropes and here is the general result of

play01:50

the Russian attack in of divka which

play01:52

happened yesterday they lost many of the

play01:55

vehicles and it is just a single spot of

play01:58

the front lines oh my God for me

play02:01

personally it looks really crazy all of

play02:04

those crazy attempts just moving forward

play02:06

with the convoys those are useless

play02:09

almost in all of their cases but somehow

play02:12

they just go and go like zombies I

play02:15

wonder where they find this motivation I

play02:18

know that our guys are very motivated

play02:20

Russia is in lack of the motivation to

play02:23

liberate the lands but still they're

play02:26

going could Russian propaganda act like

play02:28

that I think yes because you need more

play02:31

than just money motivation to go and

play02:34

just die on the front lines because for

play02:36

sure they see what happens to their

play02:38

friends and one more spot definitely

play02:41

Russia yesterday lost many of the

play02:43

vehicles in a divka if we zoom out a

play02:45

little you may see the other Russian

play02:47

attack Vector I'm showing you it in the

play02:49

yellow color because it's better for you

play02:51

to see the red color doesn't look so

play02:54

bright over here so with this Russian

play02:56

sound they're unable to help their

play02:57

forces in this place because there is

play03:00

the natural obstacle the river which is

play03:03

dividing the area also there is the

play03:05

lower ground compared to this and this

play03:08

area I just want to show you it so

play03:10

definitely the ground Goes Down And if

play03:13

Russia goes there there will be attacked

play03:15

by Ukrainian side which is located on a

play03:18

higher ground in the city itself that is

play03:20

why Russians who went on attack in this

play03:22

place are left on their own and there is

play03:25

no any way they will Propel forward

play03:27

because basically they're jammed on the

play03:29

northern part between the river and

play03:32

between the railroad so the only way for

play03:35

advancement for them is the single

play03:37

Street and with the current resources

play03:39

and forces they're enable to perform it

play03:42

so basically they are stack and if

play03:44

Ukraine does everything correctly in the

play03:46

coming days we have the potential to C

play03:49

them in this sector and now let's go to

play03:52

step over where Ukraine has some of the

play03:54

success we don't have the latest update

play03:57

on this military map however there is

play03:59

the country attack from Ukrainian side

play04:01

Russia really struggles in this place

play04:03

because it's the open terrain there are

play04:05

just few of the tree lines and all of

play04:07

the Russian positions are well known and

play04:10

they're targeted by Ukrainian drones

play04:12

tanks and artillery systems so far all

play04:15

of their attack attempts of stoa are

play04:18

just useless so aiva is indeed far to be

play04:21

encircled or taken by the Russian forces

play04:25

the big fight for this town is ongoing

play04:27

since October and Russia already lost

play04:31

thousands of forces out there it means

play04:33

that strategically Russia is unable to

play04:35

achieve their big goal to occupy all of

play04:37

the dbas it is no ghost scenario for

play04:40

them with their current tactics now

play04:43

let's go to the South to robot a village

play04:45

Russia fails to get the initiative on

play04:48

the south too so Ukraine moves a little

play04:51

from robot it was yesterday and it is

play04:54

today the gray area moved and the fight

play04:57

is on goinging for this tree line again

play04:59

yesterday and today you see even though

play05:02

Russia has many of the attack attempts

play05:04

attack vectors in the place but they're

play05:07

not as effective as they could be

play05:09

especially using their Elite forces V

play05:12

Vaper troop divisions by the way shyu is

play05:14

changing the command of those forces

play05:17

replacing some of the key command

play05:19

generals and I believe it also plays a

play05:21

great role in Russian failure I do not

play05:24

have the other word of how to call the

play05:27

failed Russian attempts to get the

play05:29

initia

play05:30

in those areas where Ukraine should

play05:32

absolutely struggle but instead our

play05:34

forces take the ground just yesterday

play05:37

Ukraine was very successful in the place

play05:39

taking some of the fields under control

play05:41

this area is quite large and now Ukraine

play05:44

has two of the attack vectors one is

play05:47

towards noop and the other one is on the

play05:50

north from robot all right we have more

play05:52

information un covered about the Russian

play05:54

illusion 76 transport military airplane

play05:57

that was down not far away from belgar

play05:59

Russian territory well today Russia

play06:01

released this video showing how they

play06:03

probably transport the Ukrainian PWS to

play06:07

that particular airplane but this

play06:09

evidence is kind of bad one because it

play06:12

doesn't show anything What airplane we

play06:15

need the registration of the down

play06:17

airplane and what is that airplane who

play06:19

was transported the video itself shows

play06:22

nothing just an Airfield somewhere in

play06:24

Russia at what year this was filmed in

play06:28

'90s in 20 thousands but Russia provides

play06:31

it as the evidence it means that they're

play06:33

not able to show any sort of the bodies

play06:36

on a crush side however what wars me

play06:39

that today Ukraine has confirmed the

play06:41

least of the Russian presented Ukrainian

play06:44

PWS who should have been exchanged that

play06:47

day so definitely that list is legit as

play06:51

Ukrainian side says it means that the

play06:54

information that some of the people from

play06:56

that list were already exchanged before

play06:59

is not correct and basically considered

play07:02

as a fake so Russian list is legit which

play07:05

removes the biggest evidence of the case

play07:08

and definitely in my first video about

play07:10

the case I said that we should wait a

play07:12

little for those list confirmation and

play07:15

today unfortunately it was confirmed

play07:17

also relatives of Ukrainian PWS

play07:19

confirmed that those were not exchanged

play07:22

before by the way today there was the

play07:24

meeting between relatives and Ukrainian

play07:26

Military Intelligence the military

play07:28

intelligence still investigates the case

play07:31

our officials showed the pictures from

play07:33

the crush site which Russia publishes in

play07:35

the social media I unable to show you

play07:38

those pictures on this platform but

play07:39

there were some of the body parts with

play07:42

tattoos sorry about saying that but

play07:44

there was the part of the arm full of

play07:47

tattoos and also the hand the visible

play07:49

side all of the relatives from Ukrainian

play07:51

PS watched those images and they say

play07:54

that they cannot confirm that those are

play07:57

their relatives meanwhile today Putin on

play07:59

a meeting say that it's simply

play08:01

impossible for Russian air defense to

play08:03

shut down their own airplanes which is

play08:06

complete nonsense so he says that even

play08:08

if operator presses the button of the

play08:11

system to launch the missile it wouldn't

play08:13

launch because of the special

play08:14

transponder which shows if the target

play08:17

enemy or friendly it is complete

play08:19

nonsense you may launch enem out to any

play08:22

kind of the target friendly or not and

play08:24

there were the cases then Russia shut

play08:26

down their own airplanes so if Putin

play08:28

says this complete [ __ ] it means

play08:30

that the situation is really fishy for

play08:33

the Russian side plus where is the main

play08:36

evidence the bodies of the soldiers of

play08:39

Ukrainian PWS well I would even admit

play08:42

that at some point Russia might present

play08:45

some of the bodies but without the DNA

play08:47

expertise this is not legit also why

play08:51

Ukraine is calling the international

play08:52

organizations to investigate the case

play08:55

and Russia totally blocks it even for

play08:58

their own civilian investigators yes it

play09:00

happened to their military airplane but

play09:03

still there are many civilians were

play09:05

involved but they restricted the access

play09:08

to all of the sides the situation looks

play09:10

similar with mh17 that rushed down over

play09:13

dbas and very similar to pran's case

play09:16

that happened to the civilian aircraft

play09:19

but no civilian organization was

play09:21

involved in investigation so Russia has

play09:25

something to hide we have the news about

play09:27

the Russian oil port and Refinery

play09:29

facility which was attacked by Ukrainian

play09:32

drones the facility is unable to operate

play09:35

any longer the critical equipment was

play09:37

damaged so Ukraine knew where to aim so

play09:40

it is not just the oil Port where Russia

play09:42

sends the oil for storage and later it

play09:45

goes for the oil tankers no they produce

play09:48

fuel there as well diesel petrol and

play09:52

other stuff now they're unable to do it

play09:55

as you can see some simple drones might

play09:57

stop this huge facility from from its

play09:59

operation by the way they're also enable

play10:01

to restore the operation of the oil

play10:03

refinery and oil port in UGA near to St

play10:07

Petersburg that attack from Ukraine was

play10:10

also really successful also Russian

play10:12

media sources say that there was one

play10:14

huge Kaboom near to St Petersburg

play10:17

recorded today clearly it is the ground

play10:19

Kaboom the third Ukrainian assault

play10:21

Brigade is now testing their remote Dem

play10:24

mining robots so here we go with it oh

play10:27

my God what happened to this one

play10:29

well it survived because they made very

play10:32

very robust and even after it turns off

play10:36

it is still able to continue its

play10:38

movement doesn't matter what side it

play10:40

landed on Ukraine is at the final stage

play10:43

of testing the remote control kamikaza

play10:46

submarines that might change the

play10:48

situation in the Black Sea for the

play10:50

Russian Marine Fleet those are indeed

play10:52

hard to detect and Ukraine will be ready

play10:54

to use them I think this summer the

play10:56

British supplied anti-drone systems work

play10:59

quite well Ukraine was able to down some

play11:01

of the Shahid drones with the help of

play11:04

the electronic warfare which offer from

play11:06

UK presented to us not long time ago as

play11:10

you can see Russia uses different

play11:12

modification of the Shah Heads This one

play11:15

is gray this one is dark color it is

play11:18

hard to identify this one in a night

play11:20

skies nevertheless all of them were shut

play11:23

down not even using expensive Weaponry

play11:26

like missiles Patriot systems s rst or

play11:30

nasams it could be a breakthrough in

play11:32

defending for example KF region what the

play11:35

heck Russia is doing with their China

play11:36

made golf mobiles well they installed

play11:39

the smoke devices in them inside let's

play11:43

say yes in the open ear cars how would

play11:46

driver just survive that by the way here

play11:49

you may see that they put some of the

play11:51

mines using this vehicle my friends

play11:53

there are some of the videos that I'm

play11:55

only able to share on my telegram

play11:57

Channel because this plat form doesn't

play11:59

give the green light for this type of

play12:01

the content to go through its system

play12:04

that's why if I publish those here I'll

play12:06

be quite restricted but you may always

play12:09

follow me on telegram which you may find

play12:11

in the video description just below I

play12:13

created my own group more than a year

play12:15

ago and I post their different content

play12:18

so I would highly appreciate if you

play12:20

subscribe for my channel over there

play12:22

there we also have some of the

play12:24

discussion including the political

play12:25

discussion today I even created the

play12:27

voting for The United States future

play12:30

president who would you support Biden

play12:32

Trump Democrat candidate but not Biden

play12:35

Republican candidate but not Trump the

play12:38

result is very interesting but to see it

play12:40

you need to go to my group and check it

play12:42

out plus I'm thinking of creating the

play12:44

other channel dedicated only to the

play12:47

world news to separate a little the

play12:49

Ukrainian topic and the world news I

play12:52

know that everything is connected in our

play12:54

lives but I think it's the proper way to

play12:56

do I will also create the voting for

play12:58

that that on my telegram channel so

play13:00

you're welcome to vote but since I do

play13:02

not have that channel yet let's speak

play13:04

about the world events for example what

play13:07

is happening in Texas is just crazy I

play13:10

mean there is definitely the problem

play13:12

with migration to the United States from

play13:14

the other countries including Mexico

play13:17

people are not running from the war or

play13:19

something they're running for the better

play13:21

economy for better life let's say but at

play13:24

the same time they're not veryy much

play13:25

qualified for the jobs in the United

play13:28

States they do not know the local

play13:30

language I know that there is huge

play13:32

Spanish Community for example in Texas

play13:34

in California but still mostly those

play13:37

immigrants stay without the jobs which

play13:39

increases the criminal activity in the

play13:42

bordering states so Texas State

play13:44

authorities decided to cope with this

play13:47

problem in their own way they

play13:48

constructed the barricades at the border

play13:50

with Mexico the effectiveness of those

play13:53

barricades I would say under the huge

play13:55

question but it created a huge National

play13:58

division in the United States because

play14:01

Texas governor released a statement

play14:03

against the White House and many

play14:05

Republican states did support it

play14:07

President Biden gave the order to remove

play14:09

the barricade at the border with the

play14:11

United States in the next 24 hours but

play14:14

the governor of Texas doesn't agree with

play14:17

that so what is the bigger issue the

play14:19

problem with migrants or the problem

play14:22

between the states in this case my own

play14:24

opinion that those useless barricades do

play14:27

not worse this huge confrontation the

play14:30

immigration problem should be solved but

play14:33

not in this way because the way is not

play14:35

effective and it creates the national

play14:38

Division and you know who's laughing

play14:40

Russia they already say that Texas

play14:42

People's Republic should be created well

play14:45

after all I don't think that it will

play14:46

happen because finally logic prevails

play14:49

but it seems like the Republican Mega

play14:51

group doesn't want to help Ukraine they

play14:53

also do not want to solve the

play14:54

immigration crisis they just speak about

play14:56

it but they failed to sign any any kind

play14:59

of the deal with other party it means

play15:02

that Ukraine is not able to receive the

play15:04

military support from the United States

play15:06

it means that Ukraine is not able to

play15:08

liberate its lands and will go for Total

play15:11

Defense and Putin in a middle-term

play15:13

perspective has all the chances to get

play15:16

more ground more cities including aif

play15:18

and others because he has more resources

play15:22

yes for now the Russian strategy on the

play15:24

front lines doesn't work but it is just

play15:27

for now for Ukraine it is very bad that

play15:30

is why I'm oriented to speak about it on

play15:33

the other channel which I will create

play15:35

dedicated to politics and what is

play15:38

happening around the topic meanwhile we

play15:40

have some of the good news from Europe

play15:42

European leaders are ready to strip

play15:44

hungary's voting right if Orban blogs

play15:47

approval of 50 billion Euro help for

play15:50

Ukraine the summit will start on

play15:52

February the 3st so not long time to

play15:55

wait that is why analytics say that

play15:57

Orban will probably vote for the

play15:59

Military Support of Ukraine otherwise he

play16:02

would lose the veto ability let's say

play16:05

the United States of America and Israel

play16:07

are up to sign the agreement to supply

play16:09

up to-date aircraft to Israel we're

play16:12

speaking about 25 of f35s 25 of f-15s

play16:17

and 12 Apache helicopters all of that

play16:20

stuff will be supplied to Israel not as

play16:23

the military help but Israel would just

play16:26

purchase it the New York Times gave some

play16:28

of the in Ides from Pentagon that the

play16:30

United States military command thinks

play16:32

that North Korea might start the

play16:34

confrontation with South Korea yes the

play16:37

actual military attack or they will call

play16:39

it a special military operation as usual

play16:42

as you may see many of the dictators

play16:45

around the world are Uprising probably

play16:48

because of this Global threat the United

play16:50

States of America decided to move some

play16:52

of the nukes to the United Kingdom the

play16:54

United Kingdom itself has the nuclear

play16:57

weaponry but it's very to reinforce the
