How significant is Russia's new military offensive in northeastern Ukraine? | Inside Story
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 май 2024
- The Ukrainian military has conceded that Russian troops are making gains along its northeastern border.
Their advance deeper into the Kharkiv region has prompted fears among Western allies of a major assault on Ukraine's second-largest city.
Russia's latest offensive comes as Ukraine is facing a shortage of weapons and soldiers.
Is the Ukrainian army on the back foot, while trying to defend the 1,000km front line?

If losing territories by Ukraine is what they called winning, surely Ukraine is winning a lot. 😂😂😂
they're reverse-advancing 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
More political Spin , if we don't help them resist Putins Maskarova about freedom loving people being " Fascist Brats " , when hasn't he been a threat to Democratic processes in other Countries.
Your a unreal comedian 😉 .

How a bad president can destroy your own country! Ukraine could be a neutral country.
Quite literarily VERY EASILY...who is insisting that this VERY UNNECESSARY WAR MUST GO ON?
Bojo @@okechukwuibeh232
@@okechukwuibeh232 both zelenski & biden (and their cronies, dem party, etc.) are making a fortune off this war. IN us they're sticking it to the taxpayers. They don't care who or how many die due to their lack of morals or compassion. Zelenski seems like a snake i know more about biden and he's truly diabolical
No more corrupted puppet president for Putin in Ukraine so that means Ukraine started to be a normal country so Putin attacked. Totally Ukraine's fault right, delusional non objective Russian?
@@okechukwuibeh232 The petrodollar mostly.
Lying scams about russia suffering heavy losses 😂😂
Russia hasn't used its full military and economic might. They used 3% of their GDP (The Economist and Business Insider) and a fraction of their 1,500,000 active duty soldiers and 2 million reserves (Washington Post).
They had 1 T-34 tank during the Russia day parade. They have lost a lot of soldiers and military equipment and don't have enough tanks to even put on a show.
@@dotdash8327 epic bullshit, cope harder
My guess is both sides are lying when they say “heavy losses” and that a lot less military personnel have died than is being said.
Russia almost always uses mob warfare to defeat it's enemies. This time is no different. Why do you think Russia is recruiting Indians and Africans?
It is a total shame what the West did to Ukraine.
It's Russia that's been bombing Ukraine for 2+ years bro.
You can spam your disinfo and vatnik propaganda all you wish, people know the truth.
New World Order))))🤡🤡🤡💩💩💩🤡🤡🤡
Ukraine did NOT force the Russians to retreat. Russia withdrew as a sign if good faith believing Ukraine was going to negotiate. Then BoJo got involved and made the decision to continue the Western war on Russia.
"Good Faith" LOL, there is no "good faith" in war.
Johnson does not make Ukrainian decisions unless Putin is correct that Ukraine is a fake country. That can be your position, otherwise Ukraine made the decision. Can't have it both ways.

90% of Russians go to war just to earn money; they don’t need Ukraine at all
Putin needs Ukraine to satisfy his Ego (Ego: this is a feeling of superiority and self-confidence that goes beyond the boundaries of self-confidence and talent. Ego is such an inflated idea of oneself and the world that the surrounding reality begins to distort.)
Aid package is only boosting the morale of politicians.
Half of it stayed in us... 😂
@@SAGAWISIW30 Half? Ukraine only get 13 of the 61 billion, the rest goes to replacing US equipment that has already been supplied, so once Zelensky and his mob take their cut how much will be left for the defence of Ukraine?🤔
@@SAGAWISIW30 Yep to the military contractors. But in return the US with be further in debt.
The biggest extortion of tax payer dollars in US history
Definitely
Why don’t you just agree to a peace deal and to stop the horror. The world must return to peace.
they a boring people so they need entertainment in war and we could add some stress from their women, so the war is actually peace for them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Fck 🤡🤡🤡 can't figure out women, which boder them all the time. So stupid men sometimes find stupid solution into going in aggression or sneaky softy provocative way(lady man) or in business. Poor men, it's must be very sad to be without brain, not knowing who is fck around. Actually those men you can find everywhere. Me for example everyday, i guess i am lucky🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Us Europe .un .nato don't want that
Cause money.
Putin wants Kiev and the Ukrainians don't want to be part of Russia. That's the problem
It’s actually illegal in Ukraine
Come on Al Jazeera, the Vienna cope guy has to go, to ridiculous.for your channel.
Maybe Russia would not have opened this new front if Ukraine had not repeatedly attacked Belingrad (primarily targeting civilians). F around and Find out!
They would have anyway. It is the smart play. Either Ukraine doesn't reinforce and they lose territory there or they reinforce and lose it elsewhere. Ukraine can't reinforce adequately without pulling soldiers from other fronts.
@@jasonschnelle110 Maybe leaders should make false statements, "lying" about why they are invading and stop killing their own people and other innocent people.
Maybe Russia should not have invaded its neighbour. And the one that's been bombing civilians for 2+ years is Russia.
"Belingrad" 😂😂😂
when donbass falls ukraine will only say they didnt want it anyways.
It's a 4D chess, you just don't get it. They wanted Russia to conquer those regions, it has AIDS.
....... It won't be of any 'strategic value' anymore
hahahah
Russia retreating FORWARD, Ukraine advancing BACKWARD. 😉😋
Thought that was French forte?
Victoria nuland actually believed she could beat Russia.
she only needed to egg putin on. Now that he ate the bait, he will be reeled out slowly
@jackforman, the people of Donbass looks happy whenever Russians roll into their towns or villages.

Where is Boris Johnson?
Busy eating fish and chips
These two guests are brainwashed 😆 coping hard, though.
Fact check: the Ukrainians didn't force the Russians out. Much of the withdrawal was as a good will gesture after the Istanbul tentative peace deal. The rest was a tactical choice by the Russians in their strategy of attrition, deliberately allowing Ukrainians to take land while influicting a lot of casualties, often in their best units. The shortened front line helped the Russians. We're seeing the strategy of attrition has been the victorious one after 2 years. Ukraine simply doesn't have enough reserves to back up an expanded front.
It's unlikely Russia will give a direct assault on Kharkiv as it has a lot of ethnic Russians and Russia has always strived to minimize civilian casualties and destruction. The building destruction in Mariupol was generally because of battalions firing from those buildings, so Russia targeted them back.
Thanks you. From Việt Nam
@@phamthanhbeuboone hey! I love vietnam
Lol.
Russia has no goodwill to Ukraine so this story is immediately suspect.
This story is cope to explain the absolute stupidity of the Kiev invasion at the beginning of the war.
If Russia had any "good will" towards Ukraine, it wouldn't have invaded it and bombed it for 2+ years.
Russia has always strived to minimise civilian casualties and destruction? That is not true, Russia has oftentimes targeted civilian targets, such as apartment blocks.
One of the reporters was so cleat 14:07 slanting coverage to favor Ukraine. For an example he said the villages were temporarily taken by Russia. How does he know that's only going to be temporary?
One error needs correcting: ukraine has never had a manpower problem. Ukraine has a shortage of men who believe that it is worth fighting for (which is their right). Ukraine had 11 million males 18-60 on new years day 2022. Even if half of them are disabled or can't fight, where is the other 5.5 million? Total forces have never surpassed 1.2 million. 600,000 of them are hiding out across the EU, including 200,000 of those in Germany alone.
5.5 million! guess they have nothing better to do than become canon fodder for West...
for one thing, ukraine’s mobilization policy has been to draft men 27+, not 18+. the floor age was lowered last month to 25. beyond that, ukraine has to maintain to the extent it can a functional economy. a considerable portion of fighting age men are employed in agriculture, heavy industry, etc. and then of course many have found a way to flee the country, fake a significant disability, or bribe local recruiters to pass them over.
Russia is bulling Ukraine
USA weapons have a difficult time detecting the enemy. No sandals.
Zelenskyy: "We need to inflict the maximum number of casualties on the enemy" - even if it means we will lose three or four times as many of our soldiers - Huh? Modern day Einstein speaks again and part of the failed US and NATO war machine
90% of Russians go to war just to earn money; they don’t need Ukraine at all
Putin needs Ukraine to satisfy his Ego (Ego: this is a feeling of superiority and self-confidence that goes beyond the boundaries of self-confidence and talent. Ego is such an inflated idea of oneself and the world that the surrounding reality begins to distort.)
Zelensky the most stupid leader ever....
Joe Biden, Meduro and Zelensky were talking about money, and Joe Biden points to a new building being built and said "that building cost 120 millions dollars", then padded his back pocket winked and the other too and said "10% for the big guy".
Meduro said "that is nothing", while showing a photograph of a new school. "It cost 80 million, and half went here", pointing to his back pocket.
Zelensky then showed a photograph of a Ukrainian airfield and said "we got $10 billion dollars of advanced fighter jets".
Biden and Meduro looked at Zelensky confused, and Biden said "I don't see any planes".
Zelensky smiled and said "100 percent" while tapping his back pocket.
Corrupt and unpatriotic for sure.
An actor, with deception his strongest "skill".
Not even an Ukrainian, if we think about it.
Russian bot.
No Biden is
Russia should have never pulled back troops as a good will gesture at the start thinking the west would keep their word. It would have saved many lives.
Vladimir Putin is a cool minded person.
If instead of Russia there was America.
The involvement of nuclear weapons would be un evatable.
When you spend more time counting your adversaries' losses rather than yours,then something is wrong, and no matter how hard you try to burry the truth It will always come out.
These two analysts should be conscripted and sent to the frontline. May be they will be wiser when they see the objective reality on the ground.
Clownesky using the situation to more fundraising
What happened to the.much publicized Ukraine counter offensive?
They are all about publicity and propaganda on the backs of Ukrainian people.
The west is not a country it's three continent against one country. Russia must be very powerful.
There are two types of blindness real and intellectual. I think Ukraine has problem with second one.
Pavel is the only one that puts an effort to provide more or less neutral facts
The Vienna guy has no vein for reality😅, apparently he is struggling to read things as they are.
That analyst in the middle doesn't like reality. Both the Russian and Ukrainian analysts are both realistic and are trying not to be biased. The irony 👀
Negotiate with Russia to stop this madness!
Temporary takeover😂😂 this lady is funny. In what universe do these crowns come from
"Russia is suffering loses" Zelensky.
In the real world, Ukraine is retreating and losing territory
They are so quick reporting Russian losses and yet they are losing ground.
Russia retreating FORWARD, Ukraine advancing BACKWARD.
So basically everything is fine, moving on
Where are the evidences of the Russian loses?
Not bad for a country which run out of ammo two years back.
So this media is telling us what Ukraine are saying but not what Russia is saying.
"It will be Ukraine who will decide when they want peace, NOT by anybody else". When did this happen last time, that Ukraine's political decisions were done by Ukrainians for Ukrainians?
Was the Fellow at GLOBSEC referring to Spring 2022 when the Ukrainian Government dropped the peace negotiations the moment Boris Johnson rushed to Ukraine?
Or to all the other moments since 2014, including the disregard for the Minsk accords?
But but Russia out off ammo????😂😂😂
Peace negotiation with Russian Federation and not membership in NATO is only solution to make peace in Ukraine.
and roger is a child trying to spin things around. temporary control of the villages? he's really implying ukraine is going to get them back? look at the force dispositions...
very significant because that means a nato ukraine could never happen.
Stop the wars
Russia fighting on its own all nato countries and America helping Ukraine 🇺🇦 and they still losing war
Well ya Ukraine is small. Not to mention NATO enabled them to use. Thousands of Ukrainians are now in my nation of Canada. Most of them can't speak English. Now there is a severe manpower shortage in Ukraine. They were forced to fight. The actual amount of volunteers for Ukraine was like 100,000. Everyone else is forced, and desertion is rampant.
Forgetting about Iranian drones, NK missles and Chinese eq and other help that Russia is getting?
@JohnFreedman, compared to Russia, yes. But compare Ukraine to other European countries, it's massive.
@@yangerjamir0906 They rank in at 9th. Larger than Romania, but smaller than Spain and Poland. They started at 44.6m, but due to war flight they quickly dropped to 38m although real figures are probably around 32m.
Not very many to Russia's 144m+.
@@JohnFreedman0 I'm talking about geographical size. And besides, they had the second largest military in Europe with NATO's and Soviet weapons after Russia. It's not like the US fighting against Afghanistan with comparatively primitive weapons.
Incredible to hear that woman journalist to talk about ukr bombardment in Belgorov wasnt again the civilians when the images shows exactly the opposite.
How do you always find hard core copers to argue Ukraine is fine or winning?
Nothing essential for a 50k Men assault, who won't even reach Kharkiv. but it shows that Ukraine is lying trough their teeth again with menpower.
That is the big damage done this time.
No talks of peace or negotiation,just running headlines for hunger of TRP of war and destruction
In all collected west, they attributed Ukraine's loss is due to the delay of US aid. Just nonsense.
They made a huge mistake thinking it was a stalemate.
Does Ukraine has the trained manpower to use those aid??
Well, Zelensky is very experienced at that.
Why is there so much hope on this aid package when most of it will be tracked and destroyed by Russia
Much of it has already been sent to Ukraine.
The problem for NATO is that much of its industrial capacity has been eliminated over the decades.
They can't print dollars and euros but cannot print weapons and ammunition.
The lady is so delusional 🤣🤣🤣
"This is an Economic War now"
This is real journalism not the fake "they are winning"
ukraine military is stupid for attacking belgorod repeatedly
And the beat goes on.
Love it when Ukranians say we lost 31,000 lives,but the Russians lost 9 billions 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡))))
The guests are delusional. My personal favorite is when the older gentleman stated that a war of attrition favors Ukraine.
Zelensky talking from his mansion in Miami??? WTF
Finland joining nato hurts Finland more than Russia. Finland benefited Russia very little, tho the long border between them takes forces. But Russia has so many nuclear weapons, it is not good idea for these new Nato countries to harrass Russia. US hopes to open a new front against Russia, thinking you can win a nuclear superpower in conventional warfare. If they even could as Russia has thousands of new hypersonic missiles that can be armed with tactical nukes aswell. The west should make peace before they demolish their own economy. Russia and China have got enough technology to take the controll of the world as Russia has the resources and China has the people and the most modern production facilities as a whole.
If Finland didn't join NATO, Russia would have invaded them next.
@@YoshiRider9000 why? Just because you suffer from Russophobia? Russia had no territorial disputes with Finland. In Finland, the Nazis did not oppress or kill the Russian-speaking population. Finland was not preparing an armed seizure of Crimea. Now, because of its strategic stupidity, half of Finland is suffering from economic depression, all the resources, paper, forest, chemicals were from Russia. and tourism is dead.
@@YoshiRider9000 🤡
Heavy loss on social western media but reality opposite side
this guy from vienna is a disgrace for vienna
All I'm hearing from 2 of those guests is panic.
Too little too late.
Russia will cut off any supply and eliminate it before it gets 200kms to the front.
Ukraine should have a new president.
Some one can not be gaining land and you guys are giving a wrong numbers of death against them
It depends who you ask.
If UK USA and Allies, then, it is Ukraine is winning. That's all their Media is telling.
But if you ask those not aligned with USA, then, you can see the truth situations.
There's proof the shelling of that building wasn't by Ukraine.
The Vienna analyst is clearly living in another world. The president and his generals are saying that things are tense to put it mildly and yet he is rubbishing all the gains and efforts by Russia.
Zelensky likes to make such statements to put pressure on allies to give more help.
He made is making those statements and the fact on the ground are confirming them, Ukraine is losing territory
Get your facts right. Ukraine was not responsible for the bombing of Belgorod. It was friendly fire from RF. JEEZ 🙄
Guys, they promise the Russian military is crippled by the oil refinery hits....don't pay attention to the added full blown offensive going on that Russia started😂
Wow. Where do you get such brilliant commentators?
24:41 "is ukraine handicap by lack of manpower" and the answer:" it is a very complicated question" ...what an expert!😁
I guess loosing territories is winning now
It'll be over at the end of the week.
An actor president pulled his country into the war.
Thanks 👍👍❤
What's happening in Pakistan's Kashmir? Why is the Pak army killing people in Kashmir? Shame on you
If you ask me, Pakistan is another stupid country that shouldn't exist.
After lines like "a tough slog" the only place for Roger Hilton is on the front line! 😂
Kharkiv is insignificant.
Send Boris to Ukraine.
No defense belt in the Kharkiv region. Zelensky, where is our tax money?
May be Zelensky has wisely reinvested money back in Florida?
Since the start of the war, Ukraine seems to be getting smaller and smaller. They're literally on life support and have so far blown up over $200 Billion EU and US tax payers money. Victory seems to have a new face in this conflict.
Why do you call in propagandist as your guest? This is too ridiculous
This guy obviously needs to go back to elementary school MATH CLASS
So this all sound good ..but do they believed that there will be enough Ukrainian to fight then??? They are literally down to the last Ukrainian man
I thought Al Jazeera was a good news channel.
The two men are luring through their teeth, they can't be so misinformed.
My God....in what world this "experts" we have the "pleasure" to hear live....?
That's what I'm wondering?
Very significant story ( about " our" , Future ) . Are we the Arsenal of Democracy ?
Western media response to everything: "its not a big deal" 😅😅😅😅😅😅
If both sides were to attack enemy nuclear power plant with drones, it could cause uncontrollable damage.
Congratulations !
FREE UKRAINE 🇺🇦 FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸✊🏻
Ukraine is winning but on the reatreat
