It's Christmas Eve here, in Serbia, and I am spending it with Artur Rehi, while sending wishes to my Ukrainian brothers on the front. Hold on, heroes! Victory is never fast and never cheap. But freedom is something no one ever regretted fighting for.
I know those of you fighting for the defense of the free world, even with all of its faults, I haven't had nearly the support you deserve. But that is recognized and in any way possible that many of us can we have been trying to get our support over there. In times like this it can be very frustrating how slow government is and how easily disinformation and propaganda can derail assistance that entire countries might want to send. That's about the only strong tool set that the modern Soviet police state has perfected for its warring... Information warfare, disinformation, propaganda, and creating uncertainty
We are spending Xmas with a Serbian friend tonight. I made her Ceznica last year as a surprise and it has become a tradition. Peace to all in Eastern Europe :)
As one warrior to another with depression problems, you're doing great. I know that on the outside we function above average. Sometimes throwing people of who dont understand the battle we have down inside. Keep it moving and dont slow down, at the same time take breaks for yourself and especially your family above all else. You are a real human and enjoy humor and flat honesty. That's what I admire in you and your patriotism. Stay the course, dont give in and you'll be successful in life and work. -an old tired warrior, thank you.
Sometimes reaching the solution is easier than what you think: You only have to ask God in the name of The One who can cure all the issues, mental or not, and obey and trust Him: Lord Jesus Christ who Saves us from autodestruction 'voices' inside the head (i know them), And you all will be restored from little to little.
Thank you, Artur, and Happy New Year to you and Annabel, and all the best for 2025. Thank you so much for keeping us informed. 🇺🇦 Перемоги та миру всім українцям! 🇺🇦
My cat Melvin, I saved almost 16 years ago says thank you for showing some his kind getting saved! Arther I’m a cat guy too! Nothing wrong with that!🤙❤️🇺🇸🇺🇦I love dogs aswell.
Cat guys are the best! I'm biased as a crazy cat lady, but I love dogs too. Melvin is a cool name, & saving cats is wonderful- my Bram is a rescue, & I'm so happy to see the Ukrainian defenders saving & caring for cats. 🥰
Welcome back, hopefully well-rested, relaxed, and full of new energy. Yes, it is important to spend time with your family. Now we have you again and there are plenty of people who enjoy watching your videos. That Zelensky/Friedman interview, - never heard about it before. I am going to watch it tonight. Thanks for your compliment. HAPPY NEW YEAR. Glory to Ukraine.
All the best wishes for 2025 and good health to you and your loved ones! And one wish we probably all want watching your videos, a free Ukraine without Russian oppression. Happy 2025 to everyone here! ❤️❤️❤️
we are here for Ukraine and we have your back Arthur. we are here for Europe and for the free world. Happy new year, Arthur please take good care of yourself and your wife. slava Ukraini.
I watched Lex Fridman’s interview with President Zelensky. Respect that he didn’t want to do it in the language of his aggressor. The dubbed version in English is standard and very well done. Slava Ukraini.
oh yes? so you watched the AI dubbing version where zalensky speak english correct? watch original he speaks mostly Russian and very poor ukrainian but mostly Russian.
After watching that, I have no doubt Zelensky's administration is working with psychologists who understand what makes Trump tick. Zelensky's language was so, so perfectly adapted to Trump's ego, and it's well-known you can get your way with Trump if you play up to his ego. When Zelensky used the line, "world leaders call after I speak with Trump and that's never happened before, never happened" that was spoken directly to Trump, in Trump's language. Masterfully done.
@@Hrutz36Yes I watched the AI dubbed version. I neither speak Russian nor Ukrainian. Just repeating what Zelenskiy stated at the beginning. I know they both speak Russian fluently, so it fits as common language for most part of the interview.
So how does that make Zelenski look to the global south? It makes him look like a pompous racist who hates all the Russian people, and ignores many Russians who went out into the streets and protested against Putin amd this war in Ukraine, and many ended up in prison serving 5 to 10 years. What about those Russians? If Zelenaki wants the Russian peoples support, then its best to show it by saying he loves the Russians people, but not the current Russian government. All he does is push people away, even those who in Russia who supoort him, and no matter what he claims, in Ukrraine, if you are caught speaking Russian, you will gwt beaten, and then taken to jail. That happens a lot. People in Ukraine who always spoke Russian, are intimidated into learning only Ukrainian. Not a very democratic look for Zelenskis regime
And yes, Moscow pays me in crypto currency for spreading this propaganda. You dont have to blame me for beeing a Russian propagandist...the United states sees the foreign currency comming into my bank account from Russia, and the FBI and CIA have no clue why...Amazing😂
Artur, I for one of your many viewers, am very happy to see another post by you. Very glad to have you back. I hope you and your wife had a good vacation, Christmas and New Year. Extend our well wishes to her too. Thank you for this video.
Artur, you keep it informative. You keep it light. You keep it honest. I watch a lot of Ukrainian news on line but you're the one I consistently watch all the time. Very glad to see you back. Stay cool and Slava Ukraini.
Ty for saying thanks . It means a lot that you appreciate us not just the ones who can give you money but who have watched and come back to always watch you Arther. Ty🤙
I am a child of the late 80ies, therefore I can still navigate with a map an Compass. If I never learned to do so, spoofing and jamming would leave me completely without orientation. That is the situation a lot of the russians in the Kursk region now find themselves in. BUT: The same is true for the ukrainians. Their communication is jammed, too. The difference is, the ukrainians could plan for this, the russians can only react. This constitutes the small advantage, on wich this offensive seems to rely. Well done by the planners.
but, it seems, UA forces now have better jamming, and one tactic that can be used, okay, no jamming from 5:17 to 5:23. your guys know this and use that time to attack, you make your enemy fight on your ow timetable
A keen observation my friend. Now it's up to the Ukrainian command to have guest enough possible reactions the Russians could have made to the point where they could completely collapse a portion of a front line but I don't see that happening quite yet. I believe the current probes are diversionary. Hard to know history will be an interesting thing to study in the near future. I just wish there weren't so many dead men involved or dead anybody's.
Communication is possible through own jamming. You leave agreed on windows without jamming, the opposition can not take advantage because they do not know when.
@@pouncet1683 Yes, but as you say, they need to stop the jamming for that. It is hard to have both at the same time. Possibly they even prepared communication by cable.
Happy holidays to you and your new wife! We all missed you while you were gone. Glad to see you are taking time for relaxation and rest. If you never take a break from work you can become stressed and overwhelmed. Here's to hoping that 2025 sees an end to this conflict. Slava Ukraini!! 🇪🇪 🇺🇦 🇺🇸
So let me get this "strait", halting russian shipping in the area is an act of war, but russian ships cutting peaceful countries international communication lines is fine?
Gruß zurück an sie und all ihre Mitpatienten in der Heil & Pflegeanstalt . Gute Besserung . Übrigens : die Reality ist , NATO hat den Krieg gegen Russland verloren ....bitte nicht weitererzählen . Eine Welt würde für die anderen Kranken zusammenbrechen ...... und das wollen wir doch nicht , oder ?
Arthur your report is one of my very favorites.I watch just about everyone who reports on the brutal invasion..You do a incredable report thats very much appreciated.. you're importance to this conflict cannot be overstated.. keep up the amazing work. Long live Arthur's Army Slava Ukraine.
I don't know about everyone else, but I have a few channels I watch for Ukraine news, to try and get a more rounded opinion. So when Artr leaves for a bit I'm not left gasping for input, I just keep watching those channels. But Artr gives a great delivery and provides a really interesting insight into the war, so when I do see videos come up, I just get happy and watch them, because of course I do. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that it's okay to leave for a bit and come back because your content is good, I'm not here out of loyalty, but because your videos give genuine value.
Hi artur ..hope you and your family have a very happy new year..I love this channel of truth of the Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Russian war . Keep up your great broadcasting. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FROM THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND 🇮🇪 🙏..GLORY TO UKRAINE 🇺🇦❤..SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦 ❤
Okey, so this is my first time commenting on your videos ever (i think). I have been watching you for some years and i have been waiting for you to come back today. I came back after your summer break and I was genuinely happy for it then and now. I cried when I heard you were getting married because I was so happy for you. I do not have money to support you, but at least I am loyal. Thank you for your videos. They inspire me a lot and makes me look forward to something every week. Slava Ukraini, and thank you again Artur for everything you do!
Thank you, Artur, for this incredibly detailed breakdown of recent events. Your insights, especially on the resilience of Ukraine and the challenges faced by the Baltics, are eye-opening. It’s always refreshing to see your balanced and well-researched perspectives. Keep up the great work, and looking forward to more content!
Welcome back Artur. Missed you videos over the holidays. Glad to see you and your family is doing well and i hooe you had a good time off. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦🇺🇲🇪🇪
10:00 I am happy to hear such a well-argued point, spoken in a clear and easily understood way. Happy new year, Artur, and thank you once again for the great job you do.
I think that Lex character interviewing Zelinskyy's trying to appeal to Putin so that he's request to interview him will be granted. Zelinskyy's the greatest leader of our times!💪🏾 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🔱🙏🏾
Zelensky has a lower approval rating than Justin Trudeau , who just resigned because he was so unpopular… Ukraine needs a new leader more than it needs military aid.
Welcome back, Artur. I really missed your videos and your Estonian humor 🤪 Glad to know you've had a good time during your break. Happy New Year! Have a wonderful 2025 !
Glad your back.... Been waiting for your vids and commentary there are some sites that say absolute garbage fake ranting about nothing,,,,, as they just show a bunch of older vids and use AI for voices.. Nope, we all need a vacation. Im glad your back....
A great show to kick off the new year! I laughed at the end when you commented about your worries taking vacation 😊 Of course we're still here! I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday, all the best 💙
lol, USMC vet here. The Abrams will run through 4 feet of mud. I know this because we used to have PT runs in single file on the tank trails. Run into the puddles caused by the tank treads and even the 6'3" guy was swimming at few points. We weren't allowed to go around the puddles. I say puddle, but some were 20-30 ft long and 3-4 feet wide (2 side by side, some were one large puddle). Most were about 4 feet deep, though there were a few that got deeper at hard turns. Guys in the back keep pushing as you start to go in, and then you transition to pulling as you came out the other side. If you don't go fast enough, you get to do it again.
@ziemelbriedis depends on how long it's been since they went through. The mud is only within a day or so. After that, it starts to settle out pretty quickly. Though that soil was very sandy, so clay might be a bit different
the importance of the Kursk incursion is that it's obvious proof that Russia is at full capacity deployed, if they still had a second army in reserve, they'd have deployed it now and the incursion would have been over within a week... the fact that they couldn't do that shows that this is what they have, and meanwhile the ruble is going down and the inflation is making the life of Russians harder.
kursk is a completely politically motivated strategy to buy the headlines of western media to show paint Ukraine in a certain way. This in turn gives more support and incentives from allies, mainly the US to supply Ukraine. It has nothing to do about Russian deployment capacities. At this point in time Ukraine is essentially trading men in Kursk in return of potential supplies. Risky move when the Russians are on a slow steam roll in the Donbas and desertion within the Ukrainian army is at an all time high.
I mean it’s also showing that Ukraine doesn’t have any other army and it’s full deployed too cause they never really got further with it’s initiative when they were so close from Kursks
And with sanctions, they can't get ahold of a few cases of Dawn. I was living in FL during BP's Deepwater Horizon disaster and Proctor & Gamble donated their Dawn dishwashing stuf to cleaning up the birds and critters affected by the oil. And it worked so well that, years later, I was in a politics chat and mentioned Dawn. Almost everybody in the chat not only used it, but cited P&G's donation as a major thumbs up for the corp and the product.
My friend Artur, I saw an interview with a Russia military analysts. He talked about NOTICEABLE improvement in the Ukranian Combined Arms Operations in this attack. On the drones, he pointed out two big issues: 1) Ukrainian (ANY really) EW jammers tend to be universal - they shut down ALL drones in their range. So, in order to attack, you need your drones….. which means you have to coordinate when, precisely, to turn them on and off. You want your own drones to fly but hinder your opponent’s drone operations and you can’t do BOTH at the same time. 2) Both sides have recognized the importance of and, thus hastily developed and fielded new models on an almost daily basis. Now, the interesting part is the two sides’ approach to the “I’ve got a tactical problem, build me a drone to deal with it” problem. Russia, being Russia, favors a top-down approach. You send your requirements up and some over-arching board/design bureau will get back to you….. hopefully….. some day. Ukraine is going the exact opposite route. Ad hoc ‘drone shops’ are attached to virtually every level of the Ukrainian force structure, including as far down as the Company level. The frontline soldiers just describe what they need and the drone nerds build it. If a particular model proves itself to be effective, plans for it get distributed across the force. I’m not in a position to say, myself, but given how disposable battlefield drones are, the Ukranian model of design and production seems better to me. The interviewer seemed to reinforce that opinion, though.
@ That mechanical adaptation is a response to jamming and the attempts to overcome it. We’re seeing, albeit in almost real time, the move-countermove of the development of military, specifically, drone technology. The question posed by the analyst I saw is “which ‘model’ of drone development is, ultimately, more effective: the top-down approach of the Russians or the bottom-up model favored by the Ukrainians.” I freely admitted I don’t have enough data to, in an ultimate sense, accurately adjudicate that but from the comfort of my armchair, were I forced to lay good money, I might have to push my chips in on the Ukranian model. I assess the very fluid and dynamic nature of the drone conflict, the tactical needs changing from day to day and place to place and the simplicity of the drone components (Its pretty much all off the shelf technology, no?) that designing and producing the drones locally seems to me more likely to produce better results. I might liken it to the notion that an overarching, top down design approach to ANY tool produces a ‘Swiss Army knife:’ one thing that tries to be everything but doesn’t do any one task as well as a cheap, purpose built tool meant to accomplish only one task. These tools are, of course, rather disposable, no?
Kursk has no tactical value, but the suggestion that it does not have strategic value is wrong. Kursk has massive strategic value to Ukraine as it is Russian lands and as such is an extremely valuable negotiating tool. Slava Ukraine. VPDFO!
What is there to negotiate when holding something like 500 square km and same time losing rest of Donetsk soon.... Ukraine can't hold that area forever and right now it can actually serve Russia more. All the best units of Ukraine are tied to Kursk and getting nowhere while Russia is steadily getting more and more of Donetsk. Kurakhove fell and Toretsk is falling as we speak here and Pokrovs is starting to get partially en encircled soon. If Pokrovsk falls Kursk offensive starts to looke like huge mistake.
🤦🏻♂️ In the Kursk area there is the gas pumping station that did feed the pipeline through Ukraine still feeds the pipeline going to Turkey. If that pumping station goes kaboom then 🎉 Ruzzia loses massive amounts of gas revenue. Then there is the logistics and then there is the nuclear station. Now let’s remember that Ruzzia still occupies the Ukrainian nuclear power plant. So no strategic value? I call 🐂 💩 Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
@verttikoo2052 But Ukraine is stuck in Kursk now with best units and gets nowhere. Same time they just lost Kurakhove, Toretsk is practically lost and Russia has managed to cut off one main supply road to Pokrovsk. It means that they most likely try now operationally encircle Pokrovsk as they have done to many towns in last month's. If Ukraine doesn't have some real surprise coming soon, it starts to look like Russia benefits more of it that Ukraine has best troops tied to Kursk because they get Donetsk. Pretending that all good doesn't give any land to Ukraine. They lose all the time land steadily. Also they have problem with soldiers who run away from units like this brigade which was trained in France. 1700 men ran away to avoid frontline. Ukraine has fought long time but it doesn't look good now despite pr offensive in Kursk.
@ Ruzzia loses over hundred men per square kilometer of farm land they “conquer”. In Kursk they lost 15000? men in few days already. Cutting Ruzzian military logistics is extremely important for the Ukrainians. Best tank is the one that never leaves the factory because the factory went kaboom. Second best tank is the one that goes kaboom in the depot. Third best tank doesn’t have fuel because the oil refinery/oil depot/pipeline/train went kaboom. Kursk also splits nicely the Ruzzian troops. For the Ukrainians it is good that they select the place where to fight instead of letting that decision for the Zombies.
the irony of transnistria's situation, it is exactly what moscow was trying to do to Ukraine and the EU, they openly wished for them to freeze and suffer... interesting how things boomerang.
@@LinusOlsson-g4yZelensky speaks in Ukrainian, Lex spoke Russian and sometimes they both spoke English. It may have been a nightmare for the translators but I think they did really well
@paulbrouyere1735 I consider it quite respectless from Lex to speak in Russian, especially considering what he said in that language... Zelensky tore him to shreds when he said Putin loves his country 😮.
Welcome back Artur! Glad to hear you had a good Christmas and New Year. Good to see you and your comb-over "do" back on the screen. I appreciate hearing your analysis and viewpoint. Slava Ukraini.

It’s always refreshing to see your balanced and well-researched perspectives. Keep up the great work, and looking forward to more content!
Glad to see you back Artur!
Its 40' degrees in Australia.
Always thinking of you Ukraine 🇺🇦
Welcome back Artur. Missed you videos over the holidays. Glad to see you and your family is doing well and i hooe you had a good time off. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦🇺🇲🇪🇪
10:00 I am happy to hear such a well-argued point, spoken in a clear and easily understood way. Happy new year, Artur, and thank you once again for the great job you do.
Welcome back, I wish the best for you and your channel.
Good to have you back, Artur… 🤘🤘👍👍👏👏🫶🙏🫡🇺🇦🐈⬛
Thank YOU for coming back.
Happy new year from the UK Artur 💛💙
I always come back - You did a great update Artur - Don't fear we'll be here to watch.
Good lesson to never forget the old way of doing things, technology will fail, or in this case be disabled. Slava Ukraine
We're so back Rehi bros!
Welcome back, we missed ya, and thank you for your reporting.
Good to have you back Artur
Glad to have you back. I always enjoy your reports, 'Verry Niice' 👍
Welcome back! Good to see you again and great job as always! Thanks!
I think that Lex character interviewing Zelinskyy's trying to appeal to Putin so that he's request to interview him will be granted. Zelinskyy's the greatest leader of our times!💪🏾 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🔱🙏🏾
Zelensky has a lower approval rating than Justin Trudeau , who just resigned because he was so unpopular… Ukraine needs a new leader more than it needs military aid.
He’s a tyrant . Why has there still not been an election ! What about democracy !!?!!!
😂😂😂😂
Zelensky sold his country.
Welcome back! Great to see new video.
Welcome back, Artur.
I really missed your videos and your Estonian humor 🤪
Glad to know you've had a good time during your break.
Happy New Year! Have a wonderful 2025 !

You've been missed, Artur, not forgotten
A great show to kick off the new year! I laughed at the end when you commented about your worries taking vacation 😊 Of course we're still here! I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday, all the best 💙
lol, USMC vet here. The Abrams will run through 4 feet of mud. I know this because we used to have PT runs in single file on the tank trails. Run into the puddles caused by the tank treads and even the 6'3" guy was swimming at few points. We weren't allowed to go around the puddles. I say puddle, but some were 20-30 ft long and 3-4 feet wide (2 side by side, some were one large puddle). Most were about 4 feet deep, though there were a few that got deeper at hard turns. Guys in the back keep pushing as you start to go in, and then you transition to pulling as you came out the other side. If you don't go fast enough, you get to do it again.
If you can swim, this aint no mud.
@ziemelbriedis depends on how long it's been since they went through. The mud is only within a day or so. After that, it starts to settle out pretty quickly. Though that soil was very sandy, so clay might be a bit different
Thick freezing mud or muddy brown water holes?
the importance of the Kursk incursion is that it's obvious proof that Russia is at full capacity deployed, if they still had a second army in reserve, they'd have deployed it now and the incursion would have been over within a week... the fact that they couldn't do that shows that this is what they have, and meanwhile the ruble is going down and the inflation is making the life of Russians harder.
Except it doesnt
because the same thing coulb be said about initial 300k force
kursk is a completely politically motivated strategy to buy the headlines of western media to show paint Ukraine in a certain way. This in turn gives more support and incentives from allies, mainly the US to supply Ukraine. It has nothing to do about Russian deployment capacities. At this point in time Ukraine is essentially trading men in Kursk in return of potential supplies. Risky move when the Russians are on a slow steam roll in the Donbas and desertion within the Ukrainian army is at an all time high.
I mean it’s also showing that Ukraine doesn’t have any other army and it’s full deployed too cause they never really got further with it’s initiative when they were so close from Kursks
They are using North Koreans and chechynans to try and reclaim Kursk I think
@@mikey22355 no they are using vdv thats why Ukraine holds less than half of what they had initially taken.
Thanks for doing these videos. You are the only person i trust anymore. Hope you had a good holidays.
Artur, I hope you and your other half and family have had a good time, nice to see your videos again.
Happy new year Artur and my best wishes !!
And with sanctions, they can't get ahold of a few cases of Dawn. I was living in FL during BP's Deepwater Horizon disaster and Proctor & Gamble donated their Dawn dishwashing stuf to cleaning up the birds and critters affected by the oil. And it worked so well that, years later, I was in a politics chat and mentioned Dawn. Almost everybody in the chat not only used it, but cited P&G's donation as a major thumbs up for the corp and the product.
My friend Artur, I saw an interview with a Russia military analysts. He talked about NOTICEABLE improvement in the Ukranian Combined Arms Operations in this attack.
On the drones, he pointed out two big issues: 1) Ukrainian (ANY really) EW jammers tend to be universal - they shut down ALL drones in their range. So, in order to attack, you need your drones….. which means you have to coordinate when, precisely, to turn them on and off. You want your own drones to fly but hinder your opponent’s drone operations and you can’t do BOTH at the same time.
2) Both sides have recognized the importance of and, thus hastily developed and fielded new models on an almost daily basis.
Now, the interesting part is the two sides’ approach to the “I’ve got a tactical problem, build me a drone to deal with it” problem.
Russia, being Russia, favors a top-down approach. You send your requirements up and some over-arching board/design bureau will get back to you….. hopefully….. some day.
Ukraine is going the exact opposite route. Ad hoc ‘drone shops’ are attached to virtually every level of the Ukrainian force structure, including as far down as the Company level.
The frontline soldiers just describe what they need and the drone nerds build it.
If a particular model proves itself to be effective, plans for it get distributed across the force.
I’m not in a position to say, myself, but given how disposable battlefield drones are, the Ukranian model of design and production seems better to me. The interviewer seemed to reinforce that opinion, though.
Fiber optical drones are dominating right now. Russias.
@ That mechanical adaptation is a response to jamming and the attempts to overcome it. We’re seeing, albeit in almost real time, the move-countermove of the development of military, specifically, drone technology.
The question posed by the analyst I saw is “which ‘model’ of drone development is, ultimately, more effective: the top-down approach of the Russians or the bottom-up model favored by the Ukrainians.”
I freely admitted I don’t have enough data to, in an ultimate sense, accurately adjudicate that but from the comfort of my armchair, were I forced to lay good money, I might have to push my chips in on the Ukranian model.
I assess the very fluid and dynamic nature of the drone conflict, the tactical needs changing from day to day and place to place and the simplicity of the drone components (Its pretty much all off the shelf technology, no?) that designing and producing the drones locally seems to me more likely to produce better results.
I might liken it to the notion that an overarching, top down design approach to ANY tool produces a ‘Swiss Army knife:’ one thing that tries to be everything but doesn’t do any one task as well as a cheap, purpose built tool meant to accomplish only one task. These tools are, of course, rather disposable, no?
Artur, welcome back and yes, of course we are stoll watching. You are doing a great job, so keep it up.
Welcome back Artur! We missed you!
Kursk has no tactical value, but the suggestion that it does not have strategic value is wrong. Kursk has massive strategic value to Ukraine as it is Russian lands and as such is an extremely valuable negotiating tool. Slava Ukraine. VPDFO!
Kursk is an infected boil on Putin's face. He has ordered it removed and produced more inflammation.
What is there to negotiate when holding something like 500 square km and same time losing rest of Donetsk soon.... Ukraine can't hold that area forever and right now it can actually serve Russia more. All the best units of Ukraine are tied to Kursk and getting nowhere while Russia is steadily getting more and more of Donetsk. Kurakhove fell and Toretsk is falling as we speak here and Pokrovs is starting to get partially en encircled soon. If Pokrovsk falls Kursk offensive starts to looke like huge mistake.
🤦🏻♂️ In the Kursk area there is the gas pumping station that did feed the pipeline through Ukraine still feeds the pipeline going to Turkey. If that pumping station goes kaboom then 🎉 Ruzzia loses massive amounts of gas revenue. Then there is the logistics and then there is the nuclear station. Now let’s remember that Ruzzia still occupies the Ukrainian nuclear power plant. So no strategic value? I call 🐂 💩 Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
@verttikoo2052 But Ukraine is stuck in Kursk now with best units and gets nowhere. Same time they just lost Kurakhove, Toretsk is practically lost and Russia has managed to cut off one main supply road to Pokrovsk. It means that they most likely try now operationally encircle Pokrovsk as they have done to many towns in last month's. If Ukraine doesn't have some real surprise coming soon, it starts to look like Russia benefits more of it that Ukraine has best troops tied to Kursk because they get Donetsk. Pretending that all good doesn't give any land to Ukraine. They lose all the time land steadily. Also they have problem with soldiers who run away from units like this brigade which was trained in France. 1700 men ran away to avoid frontline. Ukraine has fought long time but it doesn't look good now despite pr offensive in Kursk.
@ Ruzzia loses over hundred men per square kilometer of farm land they “conquer”. In Kursk they lost 15000? men in few days already. Cutting Ruzzian military logistics is extremely important for the Ukrainians.
Best tank is the one that never leaves the factory because the factory went kaboom. Second best tank is the one that goes kaboom in the depot. Third best tank doesn’t have fuel because the oil refinery/oil depot/pipeline/train went kaboom.
Kursk also splits nicely the Ruzzian troops. For the Ukrainians it is good that they select the place where to fight instead of letting that decision for the Zombies.
the irony of transnistria's situation, it is exactly what moscow was trying to do to Ukraine and the EU, they openly wished for them to freeze and suffer... interesting how things boomerang.
Glad you enjoyed your holiday!
I had a holiday as well, so I didn't miss you, but I enjoy every video you make.
President Zelensky is very fluent in English. Great interview 👍
Ya, I was surprised because he doesn't seem to speak English often but he is perfectly fluent
He speaks in Russian. His voice was used by AI for the voiceover in English.
@@LinusOlsson-g4yZelensky speaks in Ukrainian, Lex spoke Russian and sometimes they both spoke English. It may have been a nightmare for the translators but I think they did really well
@paulbrouyere1735 I consider it quite respectless from Lex to speak in Russian, especially considering what he said in that language...
Zelensky tore him to shreds when he said Putin loves his country 😮.
Most European people speak several languages. We Americans have some catching up to do.
Good to see you back,
Safe and well 🇺🇦🇦🇺
Glad to see you back .
Happy new year Artur, good to see you back. Thanks for your work.
Welcome back, we missed you!

Welcome back Artur!! Thanks especially for the coverage of that interview. Very helpful.
Slava Ukraini! ❤
You are one of the best! I am glad you are back!
Thank you Artur!
Zelensky did great in that interview.
Zelenskyy is a dictator at this point . What happened to the elections ?
Zilensky is already an illegitimate president, you wouldn't wish such a president on your enemy either
Welcome back Artur! Glad to hear you had a good Christmas and New Year. Good to see you and your comb-over "do" back on the screen. I appreciate hearing your analysis and viewpoint. Slava Ukraini.
