@LUCA-CASADEI you've got some nerve trying to rephrase your statements of asserted opinion "the Russian army is too small and poorly equipped, they don't have this and that so they can't do this" as an open ended analysis when you had already expressed certainty that Russia was "unable to win an attritional war". It's some next gen cope.
I think video is quite informative beyond its niche. Most people know being the attacker in an Urban setting sucks, but few (including I) have never considered urban conglomerations and how you move your forces in or around said city zones. There’s certainly no shortage of major cities a stones toss away from multiple mid sized cities.
Yes, I found the video to be interesting. I think the talk of Urban-conglomerations applies to many hypothetical situations. For instance there are many individuals, or at least there used to be, who argued that just taking Moscow would have been the coup-de-grace to the USSR in 1941. The whole question of whether taking Moscow would have won the war for Germany is one thing (I don't think it would have), but the issue in that statement implied by this video is with the "taking Moscow" bit. Those who argue for this see that a German unit was within 18km, or something like that, and think "If things had been a little different and the main force had been able to advance a few dozen more km, they could have won". This I think is especially prevalent in documentaries and such which try to make it seem very dramatic and as if everything hung on a thread, when in reality taking the city of Moscow would have been a huge undertaking in-and-of-itself even if they had reached it. Looks like I went on another comment section ramble again when I have work to do...I just thought this example was an interesting illustration of how people sometimes don't consider urban geography and infrastructure when considering hypotheticals. *que massive argument about unrelated topic in the replies*

Really liking the future-proofing on this video, with treating the current war as something of the past rather than the present. Also, you got such a great style with the way the lines fluidly move about the map.
As a citizen of Kharkiv, I can tell that we were afraid russians would occupy the city pretty quickly considering it is near the border, but after the first week, it became clear they can not break in (actually they managed but it was a suicidal mission), so they just started to shell city with artillery. Barbaric tactics to destroy what you can't gain.

How interesting, right now (May 2024) there are already loads of people who write that Kharkiv has no military significance whatsoever. Exactly like what they wrote about Bakhmut and Avdiivka, first that they were adamant fortresses, and next - that they had no significance anyway.

Tbh, I have doubts on naming the Russo-Ukrainian clash over the Kharkov/Kharkiv as 2 separate battles. I suppose that we could label it as a single battle with 3 different phases, just like it was in the WW2; the first phase is attack of the one side, the second is a stalemate and the third is an opponents' counterattack.
The logic here is at the beginning of the War Ukraine fought a defensive action within the city limits of Kharkiv. In September they fought to completely liberate the entirety of Kharkiv Oblast.

Kharkiv was also the first capital of the Ukrainian SSR in contrast to Kiev, wich was held by the Ukraine's People's Republic, independent from Moscow. It's currently also Ukraine's 2nd largest city.
