"A bit of a sham" -a bit of an understatement.
@Liya Club ^ that's a bit of a spam
I'm always baffled as to why Putin would go through the trouble of making it seem legitimate when everyone knows the vote is gonna be rigged. And it's not like if by some miracle that the results came back "no" he would end the war and pull out anyway.
This whole thing started when the maidan overthrew the government, that broke international law, they overthrew an elected government, since then the situation escalated and escalated.
Not really all these areas voted overwhelmingly for Yanukovich who was overthrown in a coup in 2014. All these areas are 90% ethnic Russian. The U.K. rules Northern Ireland with far lesser mandate.
@@syberspud This is western state media, we don't do facts here.
Fun fact: Russia conducted mobilization only three times in it's history - in WW1, WW2 and now.
Technically it was only in 1914 and 2022. It was not Russia, but the Soviet Union that mobilized in 1941, though Russia was a part of that... ;)
WW1 got spanked, quit the war and suffered revolution.
WW2 lost millions, survived because of lend lease. Enslaved eastern Europe.
West should atleast pretend doing something similar
@@bw6524 without Soviet Union in eastern front, we may not have won the war. The Russians fought like hell and history can’t forget
@@adiosa1388 Ukraine already mobilized their men months ago..
300,000 men not 300,000 soldiers.
And drunks at that.
Threehundred times a thousand living men,
And I heard nor sigh nor groan,
With heavy thump, a lifeless lump,
They dropped down one by one.
The right term is "300,000 bodies."
no, 300000 soldiers who have been in the military before, unlike ukrainians who were trained for 1 month in the uk and think they're rambo.
@@chesslover8829
Amen.
a thousand people arrested is an enormous number? in a nation of 150 million? Talk sense man! per capita, more people got arrested last week in Leicester
So Leicester is a krap place. What's your point ?
There were protests in over 40 Russian towns. It's probably a lot more than 1000.
Many 1000's more are protesting by leaving the country.
150M is over too populated. They say around 1,000 people were aressted in Russian cities.
Yeah. BTW they were detained, not arrested. So they all are already home, or enlisted, LOL (after all they fit to the conditions)
Go check out the cost of a plane ticket out of Russia right now, and tell me that's propaganda. 🤣
I just did. It seems Russians are spending their life savings to escape a "glorious death" for Tsar Vladimir.
Or the lines of cars on the finnish border....
It's a special inflationary operation
There is simply no tickets left

I dont know about that one Ukraine is getting lots of assistance from outside source but thats not going to help if Russia brings in major air support and wipes out all utilities before giant round up push and we could see zellinski removed and Ukraine surrender. Nobody could help if thats there tactics Ukraine military is more beat down than anyone is saying.

Well, Kyiv has been doing attrition since 2014, don't think they will end now.
He hit the nail on the head - "Autocratic leaders rarely enjoy a long & happy retirement.". Indeed, their falls are usually very sudden, quick, & violent. The military is key in that scenario, & between the Russian generals Ukrainian forces are eliminating, & those Vladimir Putin is running through like water, the military's almost guaranteed to get fed up with their psychotic leader. The sooner, the better. SLAVA UKRAINE!
Very true. Apparently Putin is obsessed with watching the capture and "termination" of Gaddafi in Libya. They say it is his worst nightmare.
Slava Ukraini!
Looks like this war is coming to a close, now we can wait and see how the map looks after 3-4 months.
Putin will survive. He will live his remaining years in Ukraine, in a glass room located in the middle of a busy intersection with a sign that reads in several languages, "Here lives a failed human experiment."

Is this before or after they called up more troops 🤔
Half trained conscripts don't win wars against well equipped experienced veterans and after 8 years of war Ukraine has a lot of troops with combat experience.
Seems like those 8 years of combat experience were not enough to protect their lands.
Half-trained conscripts with zero morale can never win a war.

@@trg78lji43r Well they started with almost nothing now they can fight of 3/4 of the regulair Russian army. Soundss to me they just got enough experience that its starting to matter.
That was A WEAK, non-update...
Damage control after the other guy yesterday saying Ukraine's offensive is stalled, they're taking massive casualties trying to hold their gains in the north, they need to regroup and figure out what to do next and this is a time to consider talking. But, that guy was an intelligence analyst, not a propagandist.
All the question and answer seems to be very rehearsed.
We're is the footage of the actual fighting all I have seen is aftermath burning buildings etc ?
"..autocratic leaders rarely enjoy long and happy retirements"
I was going to comment about that but see many have picked up on that final statement. So true and so nice to know.
That's why they don't retire.

long lasting war is ALWAYS a war of attrition
It won't last much longer, it's going nuclear
I'm so glad I live on an Island
Actually Ukraine outnumbers Russian troops in theater by 2:1 already (700,000 vs 350,000. The disparity may be even higher now. Plus, Ukraine has the US & NATO providing a limitless stream of supplies and weapons.
A war of attrition favors Ukraine, not Russia. It’s Russia that needed to be clever and use unconventional tactics to prevail. So far they’ve failed to do this.
Russia has more fighting age men though, thats the problem. In a war of attrition, Ukraine will run out of men first.
Germany lost in WW1 cause they simply ran out of men even though they inflicted more casualties on the allies.
WW1! Im talking about WW1 people so stop bringing up Stalingrad!
@@Luke_Sandy_High_Ground Putin would then need to announce a total mobilisation though in the millions. If he were to do that it would be game over for him politically. Once the body bags of the "partially mobilised" soldiers start coming back in their thousands Russia will begin to implode internally.

Or putting your life on the line for a Comedian who is the Puppet of the USA and the West to benefit there Economies.
Maybe he invaded looking for his sock?
great point
I suspect Putins life has hung by a thread ever since he joined the KGB.
To me, it looks like Putin never intended to die of old age in his bed.
Thats why the nuclear question keeps being raised.. the man is risking his life and all of Eastern Europes over his ambitions.
Don't insult Dobby. Wormtounge a better choice
The only reason those sudden farcical referendums are going on is because Russia suddenly realized that it could actually loose.
Pretty much this. He use the mushroom bomb card again with the referendum because HE realized how vulnerable he is. People MUST pay attention on such move.
Putin is making LOTS and LOTS of mistakes. This is the time for another rout in a place he never expects.
It has already lost since 24th of February
They were always going to annex those territories though
If Russia is allowed to defend "Russian" land, then Ukraine certainly has the right to defend Ukrainian land conquered by imperialist Russia.
these referendums are no more farcical than Biden's election. Mobilization in Russia and referendums indicate that Russia wants to continue the war and win. If I wanted to lose, it would have been easier to withdraw troops from Ukraine
I had always thought that the glacial movements of Russia was insane. Even if the small movement of Ukraine were much larger, still not suitable war fare. Kudos on the Kharkov offensive though. That was brilliant.
February 2022: Russia unlawfully invades a smaller neighbour.
September 2022: Russia invokes partial mobilisation because it's losing its unlawful offensive war.
🤔
Losing? Has Ukraine got all their territory and has occupied a single Russian village? If not then Russia is not losing. It is Ukraine that is the warzone right now.
Why in that case, have they mobilised?
It’s all going rather well according to the Kremlin.
@@djkinetic2020 They are starting to loose ground yes. Which is why they are mobilizing so yes they are loosing.

@@EE-kt8sh russias excuse to anything bad they do: "oh yea but what about the west buhuhuhu" get lost dummy
I watch the Patrick Lancaster channel he reports from the front lines of the battlefield and interviews the locals and gets thier point of view.
Jeah, sure...a Kremlin paid, self claimed Journalist supporting the aggressors propaganda, fabulous source of information...NOT!
He’s done that for years. He even goes back to 2014 when the conflict started.
Absolutely right. By definition a war of attrition is a numbers game. So as far as possible it's essential that the Ukraine military keeps up its momentum or even increases it. And, if at all possible, it needs to destroy the Russian supply routes from Belgorod and across the Kerch Bridge in Crimea. Removing these two supply routes will really hurt the Orcs.
Touch that bridge and Kiev is a footnote in history!
They hit belgorod large scale, it will get nuclear really really quick. And as Putin said, he won't hesitate to do it. Ukraine might be winning in terms of tactics, motivation, technology but they won't win in nuclear.
Yeah, don't touch the bridge.
not much. so much flows in from Rostov on Don
@@ArgentPure and so would be Moscow.
Wrf do they think this war has been its a war of attrition since it started. They have the same amount of causality on both sides
@@chrisviking7807 nope, Ukraine casualties are higher include those civilian buildings, malls airports they are still counted as casualties because the government will spend money to repair it.
They want the ports.
They'll never get the ones they don't have, and they won't be allowed to keep the ones they took.
@@dogamusprime1123 they already got lol. the United States can only "condemn" and impose sanctions that deplete Europe. Russia doesn't care
As long as Ukraine continues to be supplied with the right weapons and equipment, they can avoid a war of attrition.
That will end by winter. Republicans will win this mid term, they will cut all aide to Ukraine. Then Europe will also cut aide. Ukraine will be all alone by January.
And then charge them with a big fat bill.
@@tony16991 That's just your coping mechanism kicking in. We don't charge Ukraine for the Orc removal instruments we send them.
Ukraine can easily add 1 million soldiers to the front line and thanks to NATO, they would be properly equipped as well. It’s Russia that can’t afford the war of attrition, there’s no way that the in Russia people will be quietly watch hundreds of thousands perish on the battlefield for a lost cause.
Good point. Also besides this, Russia will have even more strong economical recess, due to the sanctions and the cost of the long lasting (losing) war that is going on.

Still doesn't if he told the trooph. Mobilization, is for the new territories who will need security

@@TommyTCGT the "new territories" are illegally occupied. Us in the west are not stupid. We already know Russia wants to hold referendums so that Russia can claim Ukraine attack Russia territory, and maybe use nukes. We can see that a mile away

In view of the mounting costs of the war, a long war of attrition wouldn't be that great for Russia, especially over the winter.

They are just meat for the grinder cannon fodder... they will be given out of date wepons and insufistiant clothing for the times ahead...nearly all will surrender first chance they can

Russia's not allowed 18-65 to leave the country as what Ukraines did to their 18-65yrs old citizens to stayed over 7mos ago.
Glaring difference is Ukraine was invaded, where as Russian generals got so many troops KIA they need fresh
Context is everything, Ukraine was invaded and it is 10 times smaller than Russia.

Sky News UK has nothing to do with Murdoch.
no ones running away from the call up there reserves they signed up long ago and are already part trained loool UK and US has reserves as well lol
Putin has to mobilise troops for the simple fact that he can not afford to lose this war. Ukraine is been aided with billions of dollars worth of NATO's weapons which has significantly helped in their counteroffensive; thus to tip the balance and to save face, Putin has no choice but to call for a partial mobilisation.
But it's going to cost him everything without changing the fact that he will lose. It's like shooting yourself in the foot with a bazooka.
So this crazy war of Putin's is all about saving face? How insane.
Fun fact: Ukraine received about 1% of US _annual_ military budget.
Lend lease might multiply that a bit
Also the fact that Ukraine has already done over 8 drafts conscripting practically every fit male between the ages of 18-65. Ukraine operates an armed forces of around 1-1.5 million now versus Russia's approx 150,000 deployed in Ukraine.
It’s not about weapons. Ukraine did a full mobilization while Russia didn’t. That’s why they could not hold onto territory. So they are mobilizing now.
Honestly, is there any other kind of war?
God Bless Ukraine, love from the UK🇺🇦🇬🇧
How to avoid a war of attrition in this scenario?
More offensives like in Kharkiv. That would put a stop to it in short order. Too much rain at the moment though, the ground is no good.
@@davidmurphy563 more offensive means more deaths of good soldiers. The best way is for gorilla attacks
@@davidmurphy563 Or surrender to Russia.
So attack areas that are lightly defended
That won’t work for long
The West provides superior up to date military technology while the Russians are heading back to the Stone Age. Add to that negligible training of Russian troops and the worst morale any army has ever had and the only problem Ukraine will have is processing all the PoWs they will be taking.
Any war expert knows that to hold on to land that needs to be governed and protected there after. So Russia would need to mobilize extra personnel to do that. Would 300,000 reservist enough to do the job. Based on US experience in Afghanistan, even after 21 years, they gave up. Therefore, time will tell how those regions under Russian control would turn, out to be in the end. Interesting time ahead. It's Russia's turn now to move it's forces towards NATO's borders, after all those years of NATO moving towards Russia's border.
heard from another source that the call up is of former service members which is at odds with this bloke here
More men means more ground will be taken.
I like how she askes where is the Donbas.... Like there's a human being alive right now that doens't know where the Donbas is in Ukraine.

All wars are decided by attrition one way or the other, there is no avoidance of attrition.
Correct, I believe a war of attrition would be more detrimental to Russia considering all the trouble with supplies, armament & viable recruits they're having. Sanctions aren't doing them any good. Meanwhile Ukraine is consistently supplied by the west.
Russia has the manpower and Ukraine has the equipment. The question is which side will give out first.
@@metamorphosisx6641 Russia has more men than Ukraine though, thats the problem.
Germany lost in WW1 cause they ran out of men even though they inflicted more casualties on the allies.
@@Luke_Sandy_High_Ground Comparing Germany and Ukraine not the best of comparisons however.
There are several meanings to the word attrition. The Russian meaning of attrition in this war seems to be to smash towns, schools, hospitals, mainly based on buildings, wiping out the opportunity to use cities and towns by total destruction; by gradual process, whereas the Ukrainians are going more for knocking out troops, military equipment, supply dumps, communications which makes perfect sense for Ukraine. The AVM is quite right, the Ukrainians cannot afford the Russian equivalent of attrition, they need the towns and cities and factories, to rebuild, once the Russians are kicked out.
Where is the other "expert" ? I have not seen him in a while. Must be overwhelmed by all the winning he was forecasting for Elenskiy
When people talk about how these 300 k soldiers will not be effective I think of my German grandfather who told me that there were so many Russian soldiers approaching during a battle in ww2 that his machine gun simply broke and he had to retreat.
My Finnish granddad told similar stories. The Russians attacked across snowy fields, clad in brown overcoats, which made them stick out like sore thumbs. The machine gunners mowing them down had to be replaced regularly, because they were sickened by the wholesale slaughter. He once dryly commented that on his 21st birthday he became a serial killer.
Putin won't live long enough for a war of attrition.
Medvedev will replace Putin
...
Just to see it through its already a war of attrition. If russia takes the south then it might go quicker though
It's been few weeks since counter-offensive and it seem to stopped for a while. My worry is that it seems Ukrainians got exhausted as it costs them a lot of effort to get that far. The problem is that pushing Russian forces in smaller and smaller circle causes a congestion within. This can be hard to bite in later stage of counter offensive.
they got destroyed, Russian guided artillery wiped them out ...
UA probably exhausted from the “big push.” They’re probably refitting & rearming their troops, getting some rest & solidifying their gains. Also retrofitting the Russian equipment they acquired for their own use.
Becoz the Western Countries are so Stupid and Slow in Actions to Help Ukraine with Weapons etc .!!!
It is a lost war for Ukraine but the USA certainly already won.

Don’t keep calling it a referendum. It’s no such thing.
Aside from just logistics and equipping 300K new soldiers, winter is just around the corner. This makes securing supplies such food and fuel much more important, and complicated given the sanctions. How are they going to keep 300K more bodies fed, clothed, and warm when winter rolls around (then the spring rains)?
Russia doesn't have issues with fuel, or food unlike Ukraine.
Ukrainian soldiers will perish very very badly in the winter. Just watch
That comment around 2:37 reminds me of an old comment made by some Russian leader, 'Quantity has a quality all its own'.
300000 strong reinforcements with prior military training is not to be taken lightly. Saying that it will not make a difference is naive.
Let us all hope and prey that all this ends in peaceful negotiations and end this war. Both sides are needed for that, its the only way.
@@gogogugu3164 too many sides in this war. No one listens to Ukrainians and no one cares how many will die.

Ukraine isn't the smaller force anymore...they just have more territory to defend. Ukraine has a total of about 800,000 troops which also includes the territorial defense troops called up. Russia likely has around 150,000 or less troops in country right now.
That doesn’t make sense. Russia has only sent around 200,000 troops before now and they have over 1million armed forces. He just mobilized 300k.
@@kingsmarvel1389 yup ukraine is getting hammered
@@kingsmarvel1389 the 2k Russian troops only have 1/2 the supplies the need. So if they want a functional army, this 300k mobilization only increases the effective combat strength to 200-225k.
Been that way for awhile. That is what surprises me about peoples lack of information or inept knowledge about what is going on. The fact Russia with its force was able to take territory against such a larger force is troubling. Tripling that amount of troops now would be devastating for Ukraine. The problem Ukraine faces primarily is lack of supplies and lack of enough equipment. While also sufferings issues with Air-superiority. The German and Dutch SPG's sent to Ukraine aren't even being committed either because they were sent only like 24, but they have proven to be so effective, they are using them in non-heavily contested zones to avoid losing them
@@kingsmarvel1389 Before the conflict, Russia had a total of 192 BTGs which is a combined active and reserve. that's about 153600 men. Then there are another 150,000 federal police and some of those were sent to Ukraine. There are also 10s of thousands of Ukrainians fighting for Russia and thousands from mercenary groups also fighting for Russia.
War of attrition is the only way when both sides are relatively evenly matched.
Glory to the motherland
I disagree with the assessment that Ukraine will lose a war of attrition, they are looking like they will *win* a war of attrition.
Russia can't replenish the heavy materiel they lose, and the Russian side is also losing people at such a greater rate that they will run out of manpower before Ukraine will, despite the population difference.
But what is more important is that this war will never come down to population, it's not that type of war. It will come down to heavy materiel, and Ukraine will never lose that fight.
Russia has more material
Russia can't and won't lose, just forget it and think about keeping warm in winter
It also sounds like a war of attrition of Putin's public approval. The draft is already unpopular, just wait till the body bags start coming home.
All wishful thinking on your part.
Europe/America will lose the ability to produce weapons and arms and food due to energy shortages. The rest of the world won’t.
@@justicehenrydamian475 Russia can be seen sending tanks from the 60's on trains to Ukraine. Artillery pieces from the 50's. Russia are slowly but surely running out of stuff.
Their new conscripts are sleeping directly on wooden floors. Not even a carpet, directly on the floor, in huge groups in large empty rooms.
So, no, Russia does not have more materiel than what Ukraine will have, and Russia has no actual way to win this war anymore.

The west MUST send all the weapons 🇺🇦 requires to repel the invaders before 🇷🇺 reinforcements arrive. Victory to Ukraine.
When somebody smart talks sense from the west like Mr Peterson is!
If I was to put money on anything, I would say that Putin will not survive this war.
Americans eliminated Europe as a competitor, now Americans can focus on China.

Referendum is on territory of Ukraine and has to comply with Ukrainian laws. ... and how can someone organise a referendum in someonelse's country and in the middle of a war? .. Pls stop calling this thing a "referndum".
the referendums are more real than selensky is "president" and ukraine a "country"
ask the united state of America that question
The referendum is on the territory of the people who live there. If they don't like the Kiev regime which was imposed on Ukraine by a US regime change operation, they should be able to vote for their territory to secede or join Russia.
Referendums also have a preparing time Russia just skipped entirely and are illegal to do in conflict areas according to international law to avoid rifles forcing a pre determined decision out of the population which is what we are seeing today with soldiers going door to door which is two violations at once as people have a right to abstain from voting
Yes I agree. I have read it described as an opinion poll conducted at gun point.
Peace,not war

A long war of attrition is how a smaller force wins. USA beat the British in an 8 year war. Vietnam beat France and USA in a 20 year war. Afganistan beat the Soviet Union and the USA. Russia defeated Napoleon the same way. The smaller force just has to survive its loses and continue to exist until the invader gets tired of the costs.

Be positive and humiliate companies refusing to leave Russia . A Yale professor publishes an up to date list . It feels great to trash their reputation on Facebook and Twitter. Drive them all out and have fun at the same time.
