    0:29 you have my biggest respect for including the "I'm just a youtuber" part, I've seen it way too often that certain youtubers present a topic as if they did all the research and when it's pointed out in the comments that they're wrong (even with sources included) they either ignore it or get angry at the comment.

      Whatever I write to you, it will cause controversy among other people. And I don't want to argue with anyone. I believe that finding out who is more right and who is less only supports this conflict. It seems to me that it is better to focus on the reasons why it needs to be completed. Even if I agreed, any of my comments on this video would not be short. The analysis of some phrases that the author of the video uttered in 20 seconds will turn into very long texts if you give explanations that are obvious in Russia, but not obvious in other countries. Let's limit ourselves to 14:35, the Russian army had no problems with conscription of men. Men were simply not called up. Those who really wanted to go themselves had such an opportunity by signing a contract for 6 months. By the way, are you familiar with the video at 14:40? The author for some reason did not show the ending. Of course, I may be wrong, but in it, by chance, the Ukrainian military does not shoot at a surrendered Russian lying on the ground? And before that, would they by any chance pick up a rifle lying next to this surrendered Russian?

    I found it very weird how little coverage was dedicated to Popasna when the battle was raging in the town. Early summer it seemed like Ukrainians planned defense of Donbas anchored on Donets river and 2014 contact line fortifications. All future Russian advances near Lysychansk and later Bakhmut stem from the breakthorugh at Popasna, but very little coverage is available of what exactly happend there.

      From what I've gathered, so much arty that the Ukrainian lines just dissappeared.

From a casualty perspective, likely fairly light on kia but many many wia. Shell shock is a very real thing

    • @ДмитрийСвергин
      @ДмитрийСвергин Год назад +1

      Nothing extraordinary happened there. It's just that, with increasing pressure, there comes a moment when some point does not stand up. There would be no Popasna, there would be a breakthrough in another place. The breakthrough was not unexpected, it was expected. Only the breakthrough point was unknown. And when Popasnaya defense only faltered, the pressure on her immediately increased. The units that were ready for a breakthrough came up to her. And that's when the assault began. Artillery, bomb and missile strikes. All this has increased significantly. And the forces of the assault turned out to be enough to expand and deepen the breakthrough so much that the APU could not do anything about it.

    @Бром4ег Год назад +5

    At the beginning of the war, the Russian army had the same number of men as the Ukrainian army. The information on losses is contradictory, even in the Western media, but the author adheres to the version that Russia has more losses than Ukraine only because the Russians are attacking, but forgets that the Ukrainians are also attacking in many parts of the front. The Ukrainians were able to mount a successful counter-offensive because they had an overwhelming numerical advantage when they started, thanks to forced mobilisation. And of course not a word about the losses incurred in the process. And the weaknesses in the Russian defence were not because of losses, but because from the beginning the Russian command did not calculate the forces. 200,000 men were too few to hold such a long front line. And the credibility rating of the media, which is loyal to the White House on all key issues, says nothing.

    About retreat from Hirske-Zolote - i do not have sources at hand, but it was actually partially encircled when retreat began, and many Ukranian units had to retreat through the gaps in Russian encircling units (solid front wasn't yet established). This was often done by small groups of infantry. And quite a lot got captured. So, Ukrainians lost many men and many of their withdrawn units were fragmented and in chaos.

      The info that quite a lot got captured was mostly from russian sources, and wasn't backed up by photos of ukrainian captured (it is pretty safe to assume that russians would brag about such captures with photos of groups that they captured).
      It is true that the reatreat was done by small groups of troops, but there are no evidence that there were many captures.
      Additionaly there was hypothesis that a major part of ukrainian troops retreated before partrial encirclement, and only rearguard remained to retreat after partial enciclement.

    It's still hard for me to understand what exactly happened in Soledar. According to some guys from the 93rd Brigade of UAF, they were feeling pretty confident and were very successful in their defence of Siledar, but after the rotation and being replaced with the 46th Airmobile Brigade, things started going downhill. At first I believed that this was just a coincidence explained by other factors, but later one of the 46th Airmobile Brigade commanders was complaining about being given soldiers with very weak training which makes me believe that the replacement of the 93rd for the 46th might have been more significant in the Soledar troubles.

      A lot depends on whether an assault is underway, or you are under disturbing artillery fire and reconnaissance combat. It depends on what forces the assault is carried out. They could well believe that they had been stormed all this time. And that they were holding up well. They were shelled, they tried to knock them out of distant defense nodes. But their trouble was that it wasn't really an attack. It was preparation for the assault. Their fortifications and artillery positions were identified. When the assault began, the density of artillery fire increased significantly. Aviation joined the case. And their positions were already known by that time.

    NO, Russia was at the disadvantage of personnel since the beginning but had equipment advantage. Ukraine on the other waited until the Russians were deep inside and the equipment from the west arrived . The Russians then withdrew within 4 days from the unentrenched positions in the north and west, without almost any loss, since they knew the attack was coming. and has kept the position they were able to entrench since then and are pushing forward. but Ukraine started the war with 650k personnel vs 80k Russians. After the Russian "partial mobilization" it is now 1:1.

    14:50 This was not due to losses, but in view of the ill-conceived plan. At the beginning of the conflict, it was from the Russian Federation that 90,000 soldiers were brought into the conflict territory (including all branches of the armed forces and even cooks, drivers, and so on). There were 50,000 more from the DPR and the LPR. But even after the agreements on a peaceful settlement, where the troops were withdrawn from Kiev, there were still not enough soldiers (some still went on vacation, the other was transferred to new frontiers). Russians have lost their vitality because of the intensity of the fighting, therefore, the presentation of the material in the form of "is fundamentally not true. I really liked the "high trust" icon for the CNN channel.
    Postscript. Before the start of the war, Ukraine, contrary to international obligations, still planned a second attack on the breakaway republics and had a contingent of 200,000-210,000 military personnel on those borders. Therefore, there is no need to be a doctor of mathematical sciences to understand what's what. Channels with a click of "high trust" will not tell you this. You can see individuals from the war zone (Patrick Lanncaster, for example).
    Also, in a strange way, you do not mention the three waves of mobilizations in Ukraine that are still taking place. Russian Russians had only one mobilization, and most of them are still undergoing coordination and training in Belarus, unlike the Ukrainian mobilized, although the Russians are not so smooth in places. Also, if you are talking about "forced recruitment of Russians", look at the surveys conducted by military correspondents agents and you will be surprised that a significant part of people are volunteers. And in the country itself, the borders are still not closed and anyone can leave Russia.
