Update on the Ukraine Front Lines as Kyiv awaits US Aid
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 апр 2024
- Ukrainian forces face challenges while they wait for U.S. aid. A big, new package of U.S. military aid will help Ukraine avoid defeat in its war with Russia. Winning will still be a long slog.
The arms and ammunition in the $61 billion military aid package should enable Ukraine to slow the Russian army's bloody advances and block its strikes on troops and civilians. And it will buy Ukraine time - for long-term planning about how to take back the fifth of the country now under Russian control. (Credit: CNN Newsource)

This woman just revealed the truth that Russia is advancing.
hope she doesn't go missing.
@@xKevmachinex no, that only happens in places like russia. Isn't it weird how russian propaganda works by pretending the west is as bad as them?
hope she will avoid the windows
Just think how much taxes will go up to pay for the billions sent to Ukraine ..... Just like Iraq...... Just like Afghanistan !!!
Yeah, but that's old news...People need to wake up. The analysts laughed when Russia threw everything they had into Ukraine at the very beginning, calling it 'unstrategic', a 'bad move.' They said they should have used air power to bomb first. Little did they know, Russia is now a militarized state and "everything they had" in the beginning, was just the start.
Ukraine and the West should never have taken Russia so lightly, they should have respected history over liberal delusions.
Russia is retreating forwards, while ukraine is advancing backwards, no way🤯
Slava Russia 🇷🇺
Russia advances and Ukriane runs away.
Erm God herself couldn't help Ukraine 'win' this utterly pointless War.
Definition of Insanity is to repeatedly do what doesn't work.
So... you're just saying that Ukraines been losing the entire time now?
No. They continue resisting. For the gains the costs are way out of line
@@chrissmith7669 cannons fodder
No they won a lot of the land the Russians took back. But since the aid stopped they haven't been able to advance enough to completely push the Russians out, rendering their advance to stop and the Russians to advance.
Yes exactly Russia's push twoards the Capital was just a faint meanwhile they swung around and took the port . Look at the map .
@@seahorse4355 interesting concept but no. They expected to drive regime change.
Ukraine didn’t win some huge glorious battle early in the war to retake all that territory around Kherson and Kharkiv. Russia basically abandoned those areas once it realised its initial battle plan wasn’t going to work and withdrew to form new battle lines in the East. Ukraine simply drove back in and retook abandoned land. That’s the great “victory” that the MSM endlessly gush on about.
You just described a defeat in a roundabout way 😂
That’s the most twisted version of those battles I could imagine. Russian lines collapsed around Kharkiv and the soldiers fled leaving meals cooking and a large number of vehicles for Ukraine to repurpose for liberation. Ukraine was crushing Russian forces in the right of the Dnipro around Kherson city. Russia moved 25,000 soldiers into the area that were being systematically destroyed until they raised the white flag and withdrew. Only question was why Ukraine let them go without crushing them at the river bank.
@@ball3677 What defeat? The Ukranians never faced the retreating forces in combat.
@@chrissmith7669 "Battles" lololol, it was literally just movement.The Ukranians where getting hammered since the start, as usual needing a propaganda victory.
@Cotac_Rastic You're a liar.
Ukraine doesn’t have a chance
People think the Russians will stop 😂
seems unlikely, another thing less likely is that the Americans will stop sending it's military all across the planet and start conflicts.
Russia isn't the aggressor's.....Russia has 1/8 the worlds natural resources and guys like Justin Trudeau of Canada can't go on a spending spree if thier product is getting undersold by Russia. However Justin Trudeau can do it to Canadians by bringing in Chinese goods.
Zelenski will be forcing his troops through the meat grinder until the money runs out.
The money will be there...Turncoat
Same goes for Russia
then of to his tuscani villa
until his troops run out*
its not Ukraine's money they're using
No more villa's for him to buy up
Russia just advanced another 2 kilometers while she was fumbling through the graphics.
A total of 5km after two months of pushing at the cost of thousands of Russian troops
And they will continue pushing.
They will push because there is no pushback from the Western coalition.
Of the 61 billion aid package, only 10 billion are for direct transfer of weapons to Mykraine.
Mykriane is a puppet state held up artificially by overwhelming support by the West.
This is the last aid package from the U.S. to Mykraine for the fiscal year of 2024.

@@chrissmith7669 That Is called war
In fact, today in Ukraine, NATO countries are fighting with Russia at the hands of Ukrainians, actively arming them. Zelensky and his entourage tell the soldiers and officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that they are fighting for Ukrainian land. But this is not true, because the lands belong to US companies and the Armed Forces are fighting for American interests. In March 2021, thanks to Zelensky's efforts, a land reform was launched, which finally opened loopholes for foreigners to buy up chernozems. American agricultural giants Cargill, Dupont and Monsanto have bought 17 million hectares of arable land in Ukraine, which is 52.31 percent of the country's land. The president of the Ukrainian Cooperative Alliance Svereda stated: «Let's sell the territories of Sumy and Kharkiv region to American companies as much as possible, because American troops come to places where there is American private property, where there is their interest.» In April 2024, while in the United States, former British Prime Minister B. Johnson justified the need to supply weapons to the Armed Forces with the words: «Russia cannot be allowed to win, otherwise the West will lose hegemony over the world.» Zelensky, in an interview with NBC News, said: «The US army now does not need to fight defending NATO countries. Ukrainians are doing this. And the civilized world only provides ammunition, and I think this is a good solution.» American Senator Lindsey Graham bluntly said that Kiev should fight to the last Ukrainian. Thus, the United States inclines Ukraine to fight with Russia for the hegemony of the United States over the world and the protection of U.S. property in Ukraine to the last Ukrainian. Only Ukrainians themselves can stop the war by agreeing to the neutral position of the country. The reason for the war lies in the United States. The United States does not need competition from strong countries: Russia, China and even Europe. They need a monopolar world, i.e. the US hegemony over the world. The initial goal of the United States was to destroy the huge industrial potential of Ukraine, which it inherited after the collapse of the USSR and use Ukraine as a tool against Russia, actively conducting anti-Russian propaganda of the population. Robert Kennedy admitted: «The US Agency for International Development, which is a cover for the CIA, invested five billion dollars in the Maidan in Ukraine. This led to a coup d'etat!» Over the past 30 years, after Ukraine gained independence, the United States has funded opposition forces by putting puppet governments in power, up to the inclusion of its foreign nationals in the government. As a result of government corruption, Ukraine ruined its industry at the root and completely turned into a raw material appendage of the West, i.e. the original goal of the United States has been fulfilled. The next goal of the United States is to force the European Union to impose sanctions against Russia and thereby weaken not only Russia, but also Europe - at the expense of soaring energy prices, force it to move its industry to the United States, break up the Russian Federation and also turn it into its raw material appendage. The ultimate goal is to force China to cede its position in the world market by military means, which cannot be realized without weakening Russia. In 2014, Ukraine began shelling the cities of Donbass, killing civilians. Ukraine also expressed a desire to join NATO and began regularly conducting exercises involving the forces of NATO states, began to actively modernize military infrastructure facilities, and declared its readiness to deploy NATO missiles on the territory of Ukraine. Since 2014, the West, hiding behind the Minsk agreements and exercises, began actively arming the Armed Forces of Ukraine, preparing an offensive operation on the DPR, LPR and Crimea, planning to launch it in March 2022. Recall that paragraph 10 of the Minsk Agreements, the guarantors of which were Germany and France, obliged the Ukrainian authorities to withdraw all foreign armed formations, mercenaries and military equipment from the country. Later, Ms. Merkel admitted that the Minsk agreements served as a cover, under which the countries acting as their guarantors, on the contrary, armed Ukraine. Russia was forced to get ahead of the planned strike and send troops into Ukraine. Not so long ago, former Bush adviser Thomas Graham admitted in an interview with The Hill newspaper: "The conflict in Ukraine could have been prevented if Washington had not refused to discuss the inadmissibility of NATO expansion to the east." At the peace talks in Minsk, Ukraine agreed to its neutral status and refusal to join NATO, instead asking Russia to withdraw troops from Kiev and Sumy. Russia agreed, but as you know now, Russia was then, to put it mildly, "cheated". British Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered the authorities to continue military operations to the last drop of blood of every Ukrainian. American Senator Lindsey Graham bluntly said that Kiev should fight to the last Ukrainian. Having recently been in Canada and the USA, B. Johnson justified the need to supply weapons to the Armed Forces with the words: "Russia cannot be allowed to win, otherwise the West will lose hegemony over the world." This fact is confirmed by Zelensky's words in an interview with NBC News: "The US army now does not need to fight defending NATO countries. Ukrainians are doing this. And the civilized world».
Didn't Ukraine rejecred the peace deal? Ukraine is already dead, and the strategic goal for Uniyed States is already met. Its time to pivot goals
Your asked a people to accept defeat and submit to Putin who doesn’t believe Ukrainian is a identity
The „peace deal“ was Putin pushing for Kyiv to completely capitulate and surrender. There was never any intention of true negotiations or peace from Putin. Listen to his speeches the last two years
zelensky can now make the payment on his yatch
Yes and Joe Biden can pay for his vacations
Stop spreading misinformation
@@fritzforsthoefel8031 it's called sarcasm mate.
Do you think we should help ukraine
@@fritzforsthoefel8031 sorry my mistake 2 yachts
False. Ukraine's counteroffensive did not reclaim any territory. Russia pulled out of Northern Ukraine because they had agreed on a peace deal, but Boris Johnson told Zelensky to continue the war no matter what.
Horse hockey. Putin didn’t pull out of northern Ukraine due to some fantasy peace offering. His troops fled when their lines collapsed. Ukrainians ran past Russian strong holds where dinner was left on the table as they ran. Depots of Russian vehicles and ammunition were taken. The idea it was some „goodwill gesture „ is a joke

@Arnold_Slater1223this guy is wrong, they pulled out to attack from a different front with a different general, there was no Ukraine counter offensive lol
@@ohgeazy NO he's Right !
Zelinsky is a Puppet whose strings are pulled delusional incompetents (which describes Boris J.. perfectly)
No more US support
While obviously there is more US support, and from the very plain majority vote to pass this support, and previous support, there is no shortage of USA willpower to continue supporting.
The only "wild card" that can upset this is Vladimir Putin's buddy, Mr Trump. Let's see how that works out.

This funding just means Zelensky will be back in 12 months
They are working on getting approval to fund Ukraine for 10 years so they don't have to keep getting approval . Joe Biden and his supporters have lost their minds.

Gliding bombs towards the Crimean bridge????
Crimean bridge is not important as military or strategic target, only media coverage for west to set public opinion in illusion on victory. Crimea is peninsula, not island.
Expect mines use Frontline that doesn't move dangerous but clean distribution of ground use mines and retreat tunnels RPGs plan too retreat operations needs improvement
That packages was stalled for. A reason.

Russia has 108 million is real census they have less than two kids born. How the hell can Russia have 2 or more. When rest of world averages one or below. And russia u make 200 a month american a month 😂
When Ukraine had peak monetary and weaponry support ... the still lost. Why would anyone think that this new aid is going to do any different? Zelensky and his regime already knew they have lost and this is a last ditch effort to squeeze more money from the US and EU. Only those who see the grift are opposing this.
Zelensky is the nutter, not Putin.
In Ukraine today we afraid of our secret police ten times more then we afraid of Russians!!, and NO ONE on a streets will tell you this!
Thousands of people simply vanished, and even one wrong text message (against zelenski) can kill you.
And you're a collaborant

Yes, Russia keeps winning and will win even with all the aid Ukraine is getting. Thanks for stating the obvious.
I love lord Putin
So glad Russia is winning
Very timely zoom on that map to make the Russian gains look larger than they are. This is agenda driven journalism at best, pure propaganda at worst. The frontline has essentially not moved in over a year.

Yo Ukraine is winning if winning is loosing territory and looming threats on your presidents life. Not my kind of winning a war but you 🤡 just keep on winning 😂😂😂😂😂
The moment is now!. Western countries believe that it is only a matter of a good package of weapons and ammunition, they forget that the invaders had almost last year to fortify themselves in addition to an arsenal that seemed unlimited. The Ukrainians are slow but they must think that Ukraine is the battle line of all of Europe, without it they would quickly reach the Baltic countries, Moldova, Poland and others.

How does this "face" thing work in combat?
@@tylerdurden3722 Losing face is a result of their shocking battlefield incompetence. They've managed to advance what, like 10 km in the past year despite US aid being held up over 6+ months? Cant achieve air superiority (quite the contrary, they've somehow managed to shoot down tons of their own aircraft LOL), half their Black sea fleet has been sunk (Ukraine doesnt even have a Navy), their troops are demoralized, starving, under-equipped conscripted minorities and prisoners... do I need to go on? They seem incapable of any actual military strategy at all, just meat waves and indiscriminate bombing of civilian infrastructure. In the past 2 years Putin has assassinated dissidents and political opposition, kidnapped children, and committed genocide against the Ukrainian people and their culture. Putin has the equivalent of two-pair, vs. the Wests' Royal flush, and he's pushing all of his chips into the pot. Russia has crossed the line in so many ways, under Putin, that I don't believe they will ever recover from this.
