It’s hard for us westerners to wrap our heads around Russian losses their willingness to sacrifice human lives for some land since they have so much land in the first place.
Ukrainen lands are more valuable....lots of oil,gas and minerals. Trillions worth, human lives are worth nothing 😢. Really sad but that's our sick world.
Ukraine has substantial oil and gas reserves and active wells. That is the land they took first. This is a war for oil , and oil markets.
Get some brain poor ignorant and uninformed loser,no wander you follow BS channel like this?
I would suspect the distilleries were making something else besides alcohol if that was indeed their target... Also lack of alcohol may take away their liquid courage.
Sober Russian soldiers facing almost certain death are not going to charge Ukrainian positions.
😂 It’s the primary fuel of most Russian Men but unless the Ukranians calculated that it would lead to mass deaths from withdrawal then it was filled with diesel or something else 😂
alcohols (ethanol and methanol) are important basic compounds for the chemical industry, similar to ammonia. Without these, many things cannot be produced - detergents, rubber, plastics, and so on. So it really cuts the tree at the roots.
Perhaps they're stretching their refined gasoline supplies with ethanol.
Could also be horrifically effective against the Russian population. In Denver, we closed the liquor stores for a couple of hours during the pandemic and then reopened them. The number of alcoholics going through withdrawals would have completely over whelmed the hospitals.
Imagine the hangovers and stress if russians suddenly had no more vodka to drink....
Maybe they's finally see and think clearly!
@@natalieturko4808I doubt it.
In Russia 1 in 3 men are Alcoholics . Hitting distilleries could cause a shortage and as always supply and demand will drive up prices to help make things more unstable .
Always love your updates !! Thanks for all u do greatly appreciate
That Darth Putin quote is the most powerful statement I've heard in a long time.
Maybe Ukraine has information that russia is using alcohol as fuel? To stretch gasoline supplies? For drones? For heaters in trenches?
For motivation? Not being drunk russians can start asking questions what the war is for

Well done, sir.
It’s so stealthy that they can’t find it 😂
02:00 -
Depriving Russians of their vodka is sure to put a damper on public morale 😂
I remember visiting a posh restaurant in Moscow some 25 years ago, where - as you would expect - there were filled water glasses at every table setting.
Low and behold, they were filled with vodka - not water.
Looks like the Ruzzians had to shoot it down because Ukraine was stealing it. :)
They lost control of it, probably because someone else was now driving it.
Alcohol production is not only for booze but is useful in industrial processes.
"I won't vote for Hitler, but i can't vote for Paul von Hindenburg because he's not from my party"
Pay attention to the artillery losses. During WW2, the Soviet Union moved its heavy industry east of the Ural mountains. After the war, there was no incentive to go through the expense of moving the equipment back to the original location.
The Russian strategy has witnessed its offensive delivering three artillery rounds for every one round fired by the UA. The use of artillery is not like the American usage in Vietnam. The US could operate its artillery from a hilltop because there was no counter artillery batteries operated by the Viet Cong. The Russian artillery has to be mobile in a country wherein the road system is not good and many roads in rural areas are dirt roads.
This was ok until September in the Russian strategy . . . push, push, push until the ground froze or got muddy. Then regroup in the early winter.
Two significant observations have been clear to the casual reader: 1. Russia was producing 152 rounds at an insufficient rate and were sourcing significant amounts from North Korea and Belarus. 2. that the more accurate and modern artillery pieces were being used first in combat, but the range was insufficient and artillery pieces, new and old were being lost to UA counter batteries with long range rounds and to UA drones.
Two significant events have taken place in September: 1. the UA destruction of a 3-4 month supply of artillery rounds/missiles 2. the invasion of the Kursk region which has caused the redeployment of not just artillery pieces in the field, but the entire logistics chain supporting supporting the moved artillery pieces, and the handling is done by raw human power and not forklifts and pallets.
Mild historical observation. Western front, WW1. The Germans had better leadership and a rail line overwhelmingly inferior to the French rail system which could move an entire army from one point on the front to another in just three days. Today, the Russian logistics are very poor with hungry troops in horrible living conditions at the front and no rotation. Conversely, the UA tries to rotate troops and has a better logistics system.
Regarding the russian abuse of Ukrainian prisoners of war, I can't understand why spiritual leaders, of all denominations, are not speaking out against these atrocities !
Russian war crimes seem to have rendered the clergy dumb !
Sober russians tend to revolutionize 🙂Keep 'em drunk means keep 'em happy.
That said, the volume they drink, even a day without could be life threatening 😂
Last time, it was the disgruntled soldiers returning home from the Great War.

Vuhledar was located at the exact distance from which you could fire HIMARS into Mariupol. In 2023 it was considered one of the possible vectors from which to attack. It’s on the high ground with high rises with a wide view of the surrounding area and there is an important rail line running through it. It was important.
Eh. I debate the usefulness of any of these locations as "rail hubs" once they fall under Russian artillery range, which Vuhledar has been since 2022.
Looks like the Ruzzian pilots are not afraid of flying "unprofessionally" around US jets and potentially causing an "international incident". They even get medals for it.
Slava Ukraini Professor!
Alcohol can be used as a fuel replacement.
Lost a drone is very friendly for they shot down their own drone
I was in the Sovier Union in the summer of 1988. When it was announced that draft beer would be available in the town, you should have seen the mass of people coming together and getting in line. So hitting distilleries is a move to demoralize Russians.
Unless, of course, those distilleries were actually fronts for other operations. I won't shed a tear either way.
!988, really, no wander you follow this bullshit channel ,poor ignorant and delusional little nazi?
Professor, I find memorization difficult without understanding. Learning that Vuhledar means "gift of coal" might help make it more memorable (see also Soledar, "gift of salt").
This video is one of the best. Well done.
Hi Prof.
I think it was yesterday Greg talked about Vuhledar. I hope I interpreted his words correctly, but from what he said and showed in his video, Russia didn’t take Vuhledar. Russia bombed Vuhledar into nothingness. At most locations there isn’t one stone standing, especially in the center. Yes, Ukrainian troops withdraw their forces, but there is no city to take. It is the sad reality of this war.
A reality made possible by The West, because we do not allow Ukraine to protect itself properly.
And while The West keeps worrying about Russia’s red lines, we do not take over the initiative and draw our lines of our own. The F-16 that was harassed by the SU-35 in or close to US airspace shows exactly how Russia thinks about us.
Russia will never follow the carrot. It only listens to the stick and it is about darn time we start acting like it!
Cheers, Rick
Ethanol can be used to create propellant charges for artillery. Smokeless powder.
Your work is so important as Ukraine hardly shows on the main news for some insane neglect
Darth Putin nails it....again.
You keep expanding your vocabulary of words you mastered pronunciation. This is great!
Look! What's that up in the sky? It's not a sputnik. It's a flopnik. A nogoodnik. A crashnburnik. A kaputnik!
Personally, I think we're all getting really good at pronouncing a lot of these words/Oblasts. These aren't easy for our Western dialect.
So true. God only knew Kiev before this war… I didn’t even use the word oblast. Province, state, prefecture, region… oblast never.

Thanks, Darin.
The fighterjet incident means to me, that russia underestimates NATO and especially US a lot.
Guess the pilot manning of the S-70 drone forgot to switch on the stealth mode.
The Oil Refining "Cracking Towers" are Distilleries.
Thank you, Professor.
The unprofessional behavior of Russian pilots has been seen many times. The false bravado demonstrated by Russian pilots is an indicator of the Russian military as a whole. The attitude of invincibility and superiority combined with a lack of discipline and proper training is evident in the Black Sea and on the battlefront as a whole.
Perhaps the distilleries are used now for fuel production, since the refineries have been destroyed and there is a "Benzin" and "Diesel" shortage...Slava Ukraini!
Thank you for getting "Vuhledar" right 🙂
2:05 alcohols (ethanol and methanol) are important basic compounds for the chemical industry, similar to ammonia. Without these, many things cannot be produced - detergents, rubber, plastics, and so on. So it really cuts the tree at the roots.
Past time that Russia was forced to adhere to the 1994 memo ,let’s remind them with real force ,the free world needs to get out of first gear.
Distilleries make ethanol which can be used as a fuel like oil. In the US we dilute our gasoline with approximately 10% ethanol.
Thank You 👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
The distillery strikes may have something to do with the production of explosives. It sticks in my mind that alcohol is used as a solvent in the industrial production processes for propellants and explosives.
Hey hey 👋
@2:02 I think if you go to Euromaiden Press you will find the distilleries are oil distilleries, we more normally say refineries in English but distillation is the literal process being used. The issue here is literal translation, some of the oil facilities hit were privately owned.
The distilleries produce ethanol, which is used to extend gasoline. Russia needs this since its refineries have been targeted. That is why Russia no longer exports gas or diesel. Ethanol can replace 10 -20% of gasoline production. It can also be used for heating and cooking.
Vuledar, name meaning gift of coal, has exceptionally large coal mine. Supplies the coke plant in Advidka. Both mine and plant are strategic prizes.
Thank-you, I love the Darth Putin quote. I hope it is true bc now is the time for us to do our bits. Just have to keep on keeping on, I guess.
Last I heard the Russian state has a monopoly on hard liquor production and alcohol related taxes contributed up to third of the Soviet Union's revenue in the 1970s. Additionally, alcohol is used for more than just vodka as it can be used as a fuel or as a coolant.
Oil distillation = refineries.
Hitting the distilleries is only going to get the Russian troops really pissed off, that’s worst than hitting a nuclear plant!
Imagine Russia forces suddenly deprived of their booze. Alcohol withdrawal is debilitating.
1 of 2…
And then people say Russia is threat to Europe 😂🤦♂️
When the Mig25 appeared, I recall that it was stated that the fuel was alcohol based. Could it be that distillery was producing chemicals for the Russian Defence industry?
Suchumimus did a video on the SU70 - was unmanned and shot down by russians
Professor, love and appreciate your work! I have a question for you. This is offered as possible talking points. Has there ever been a time when there wasn't war between countries on this planet. If not, what would happen if there was? Can this ever happen in your opinion?
2:13 oil refineries
Gonna give em the shakes.
Withdrawal sucks.
Distillery: could they be referring to fractional distillation columns? (essential part of oil refinery)
Have you ever seen an alki go Thur withdrawal! 😂
Remember to like this video.
The distilleries could be owned by one of Putin friends or Putin.😂
Yep, the cheap vodka in russia is called putinka and is partly part of putin's business
@@olgatomenko1828 yes, I remember in Moscow I listen to how Russian men are targeted to drink vodka, be a man drink, it was to crazy.
Most women do not want to make babies with an alcoholic partner .
@@HatBilly2008 oh, if only the last your sentence was true, we would not have that problems now. Only women that are sound and love themselves and this is the tiny minority😑
@@olgatomenko1828 well I am married to a Russian wife and I had 4 different Russian visa for 3 years at a time.
Not all Russians, but most of the men I know that are Russians drink, here and in Russia.
But in Russia I met men and I tell them that I never drink alcohol, they are offended and no longer want to be friends.
So from my experience in Russia, and seeing the men walking down the street drunk.
It is a different world. And how the Russian government controls the Russian lifestyle.
They can send you to Ukraine for war , do mobilization, but they don’t stop people from setting on a park bench and getting drunk.
Here in the United States we have different problems, but you will never see a man drinking alcohol in public.
You will go to jail.
Even America’s homeless population clearly knows if they walk down the street and intoxicated and the police sees them. They are going downtown.
@@HatBilly2008 so, your wife is a sound woman, who loves herself, and she has chosen to have family and children with you, not a russian alcoholic. God bless your family. If the majority of russian women have chosen in a similar way, russia would not have cannon fodder, but society

Wow, the GUR hit the enemy in the morale. 🙂 Hitting Class VI supplies (booze) is a heavy blow.
In total, since the full scale invasion began, Vuhledar cost russia over 800 tanks and armored vehicles to capture. It's of no particular importance, other than belonging to Ukraine. They lost a LOT to get the place. In fairness, so did Ukraine in order to keep it for as long as they did.
The drone shoot-down is embarrassing for russia. For context, this type of incident is why the gear we send them tends to be a few block upgrades old: we don't want the enemy to learn how our gear works and to develop countermeasures to it if it's shot down or captured. While it's potentially an intelligence bonanza for the GUR since it represents the state of the art for russia, it won't propel the Ukrainian state of the art forward since we're helping them to bootstrap their own native hardware production (and Ukraine was building russia's advanced capabilities before the war). It looks like the SU 25 struck it accurately though. All I saw was wing pieces; the guidance, optics, and communications were probably in the nose and main body.
The interplays between the russo-Ukrainian war and Israel's conflict with Iran and its proxies are interesting. The latter source quenched russia's supplies of missiles from Iran. I wouldn't expect that to last all that long, just for the hot phase of whatever Israel and Iran are doing. Apparently, the DPRK is pausing their munitions shipments to russia as well. To my knowledge, no plausible reason has been floated (perhaps stocks are low?). However, just as the months-long delay in supply had real effects on the AFU's combat power, the source quench by russia's main partners will ripple through the russian battle rhythm as well.
WIth an exhaust nozzle design that careless, there's nothign stealthy about that drone. It glows in infrared from all angles.
Vuhledar is a key location for Ukrainian to be able to strike that rail line that you can see on the map you are presenting. With Vuhledar taken, Russians can now start operating that rail line and that's why Vuhledar was super important. It has nothing to do with Pokrovsk.
We need more vodka 😮

Why shouldnt Ukraine join NATO whilst fighting the occupiers? Jens Stoltenburg is Right. Russia cannot be allowed to win and Ukraine has proved itself a worthy member of NATO.
Hello professor, hello all. Konstantin needs help with klicks, his videos are getting lesser and lesser support from the algorithm.

Thanks a lot :)
Dr G: I see the combat losses. Are they strictly deaths or are deaths and severely wounded. In a way if they’re wounded they need long term care, unlike the dead.
Russian history: the Czar was overthrown and his family murdered when the Czar tried to raise taxes to pay for a failed war, by taxing alcohol. Destroying alcohol production means alcohol gets more expensive. Also Russian upper management are often alcoholics, so it hits them personally. Additionally alcoholics without alcohol are very difficult to manage. We kept the liquor stores open during COVID19 in Ontario because our socialized medicine administration knew the emergency rooms would be full of drunks in withdrawal, thereby hindering the medical personnel. Drunks with alcohol are dangerous. Drunks without alcohol are even more dangerous. They start hallucinating and seeing their family or who ever they encounter as the devil!
Others may give better comments about Vuhledar but as I understand it the Russians want it as the Ukranians could hit railways from there.
Railways that the russians use to supply the southern front.
I know you are only a professor but you shouldn’t put yourself down to much.
Consider superior Russian firepower. Then Ukraine reports of Russian losses make sense. Also witness the rapidly moving lines of contact - not in Ukraine's favour.
Vuhledar, aspire the h as if it was h in hand. Vuchledahr, but there it's too strong. Anyway, soon you won't need to mention it anymore
That Jet video looks like a PS2 game graphics

Oh that sounds absolutely strategic I'm pretty sure those Russian soldiers are going to refuse to fight if they can't get hammered matter of fact South Park did a parody on that what's Confederate War reenactors in peach schnapps
2:13 if they have become true alcoholics, they are much worse off for around five days to a week if not longer if they have become true alcoholics and dependent on the alcohol. So this could make many of them, incapable of fighting for around a week.

Voo Glue Dar. The H is pronounced as a G.
H in Vuhledar is pronounced in the same way as H in Harris
Any update on rebuilding Mariupol
Vuhledar was of military operational importance, more important so than Bakhmut or Chasiv Yar, it was a natural/urban fortress that held the corner of Ukraine /Russia battle lines, it not only enabled Mariupol to be in range but also the railway lines that supply the Russian military on the southern front. If it was not important why did Russia sacrifice so many lives in its repeated attempts to take it.
