You should put a timeline at the bottom so we’ll know what day this battles occur
You forgot to tell the contribution of France to Ukraine which is huge. (equipments, ammunition, training, the first to send light tank)
Russia nailed it with its weapon infantry storms
6:15 NEVER Trust Bild, they are known in Germany for bein unreliable, there even is a saying that "Bild first spoke to the Death", caus of it
2014 was a CIA coup.
I never thought I'd see the day where KG says the phrase "Stop it oniichan" while being perfectly relevant to a military discussion.
Had they uploaded this yesterday, I would have thought it was a joke XD
when they say that? i missed it

With all due respect if we take Russian estimates as to Ukrainian casualties seriously then Ukraine would have
1. Lost its Air Force 3 times over
2. Have no professional soldiers left
3. Launched the Bakhmut counter offensive either on foot or on bicycles.
I would suggest that you stop parroting Russia my friend.
This is the only regular series I watch that I hope ends soon.
Agreed. I always hold out hope that the next video is “The war is over”
@@shadowblitz1511 yea no
Same.
Wisely put.
Exactly. So crazy kings and generals was able to roll their historical efforts into current affairs. Sad but glad to have the expertise content
Apart from the Battle of Kiev, I would like to see you guys make seperate documentaries of the Siege of Mariupol and the Liberation of Kherson etc.
I second This
I third (?) this.
Third, though I think it would be best to take these particular Epic battles and follow them from start to finish in their timeline rather than a particular portion of it. I suspect that will work best since there is likely not enough details to make a video on a single small period because they are either not shared or not much happened (There has been little manouver)
Personally I would love, love, _love_ a video on the Siege of Chernihiv. A single division held a city on the border that was on the eastern advance to Kyiv for a month and there are no detailed stories since everyone was focused on... well Kyiv.
@@Mahrac126 I`d say, that one of the most interesting battles of the first stage of war is the siege of Sumy. Chernihiv did had some UAF garrison, whilst Sumy held defence by TrO units, which were poorly organised. However, they successfully held two major attempts at taking the city. Chernihiv is also an interesting topic, I`d like to see videos on both of these
" Stop it... Onii-chan..."
Kings and General most memorable line 😅😊😂
The "certain black and orange website" and "stop it oniichan I guess" caught me off guard and it's hilarious. Especially the way it was said. 😂😂😂
15:25 I was NOT mentally prepared for the "oni-chan" meme from a Kings and Generals documentary
Unexpectedly unexpected
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one XD
He just can’t contain himself😂 this why I’ve followed all channels with devin on them for years
That coupled with the deadpan delivery
Another "Channel of Culture" emerge🤣🤣🤣
Been a loooong time fan of this channel, and I absolutely appreciate the pivot towards current events. Mad respect.
It's sad what this channel has become. It's now comedy and blatant disinformation. No respect for the viewers. Very sad.

@@marny3559 Don't even think it's a bot, just someone with mental health issues tbh.
@@marny3559 aye agreed, however the events in this world are never black and white but more in the grayscale.
Never thought I'd hear Kings and Generals say "stop it oni-chan", but here we are :P
Some people don't want oni-chan to stop, can you imagine that? Wild.
I would like to point out, in Ukraine, if there is any word that starts with Kh, you don't pronounce the K. So, it's not Bauk-moot, it's Bah-moot. Same thing with Kherson being Hair-son, and Kharkiv being Har-kiv
Bakhmut doesn't start with 'Kh' though.
KH is how we transliterate Ukrainian Х, the same sound as J in Spanish Jesus or CH in Loch Ness.
@Markus Santos I messed up on how to say it, but basically any word in Ukrainian with k and h adjacent doesn't pronounce the k
So it's like a ᵡ in Greek?
@@tedpop Yes
You quote the Bild Zeitung. One thing you should know is that years ago a German went from the north of Germany to the south and stopped at kiosks along the way and he asked for just one thing, "Das Luegenblatt" (translation "The Lying Paper") and every single time he was given the Bild Zeitung. 😄
I lost it at 'stop it onii-chan'
Just want to say I really appreciate your coverage of the war. I wait patiently for the next update. My heart goes out to all those that have lost or been lost to this unnecessary battle.
It’s so wild to hear about and see the progress of a war as it’s happening on such a detailed and frequent level.
I’m the past people would hear key points once every few months or so, this city is lost, such n such general lost, but nothing like this. Incredible. Thank you so much for your work.
I've been waiting for this for DAYS
All Support Ukraine from Turkey and Thanks for video Kings and Generals
I'm greek and I second this
Turkey always support NAZI 🤣
@@NP3GA It's great bro and I love Greece and Greek Peoples
Sure buddy
Thank you! Greetings from Ukraine! Stay strong✊🏻
It can't be easy to make these videos considering the shear weight of military causalities and the un-told Ukrainian civilian causalities. Take care mentally but know that your videos are the top tier of reporting the day-to-day of the entire war.
15:15 is just…that’s scraping the barrel’s bottom so hard you can see light through the other side.
They're dragging T-55's out of scrap heaps, they've been scraping the bottom of the barrel for a while.
Remember when the History channel was this high quality?
Me neither.
Thanks for update!!
Looking forward to your next video, as always.
This is a really well thought out and fact-checked overview of the current war situation. Keep up the good work, it is absolutely needed!
Imagine if a military official literally said "stop it onii chan"
Can you explain what it means in this context? I get it has something to do with porn
I'm still rolling from the masses of message-mortars etc. with "uwu" written on them.
@@jonber9411 Onii chan is the japanese term for big brother, but it's mainly known in the west as a stereotypical way of women to call their lovers in japanimation, and mainly sexually charged or pornographic animations.
@@jonber9411 Japanese Hentai has a thing for incest. Oni Chan means big brother. I'll let you make the link.
SIR UwU SIR!!!
very good production. thanx 👍😊 // sweden
This is the only channel that provides the raw data without embellishing it. I watch footage daily about Ukraine, and I look forward to every single one of these. The fact they're done like the other videos this channel has produced makes it even better. Thank you
Kings and Generals never disappoint.
You people do great work, and we appreciate every video!
Thank you for the update
Thanks for the new updates
Thank you for another update video. The situation in Bakhmut just looks grim from both sides at this point. Here's to continuing to hope this war somehow manages to end soon.
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️
Your up dates and estimates are much appreciated.
Fantastic job, as always!
The way he said "stop it, onii-chan", I can feel the shiver down his spine as he cringed saying that lol.

Good Job on the Video. Keep it up.
I have to say, I wait for these releases. Really neat work Kings and Generals!
Appreciate the updates and the large amount of information you are able to gather. Off topic and not important compared to this but just mentioning I would be interested in a documentary about the Vietnam War from you. I know that war can sometimes be a bit controversial, so perhaps when the situation in Ukraine is over. Or maybe you made, but I can’t find it (on mobile).
small correction, bild is not a newspaper, its a tabloid
15:21 I can't do this anymore
Never thought I'd hear Devin say "stop it onii-chan" LOL
Tip: BILD is not a serious source!
K&G and Perun uploads?we are eating good today fellas!
Ikr?
Another fantastic episode. Keep up the good work, don't stop onii-chan!
Kings and Generals with Perun covering Ukraine on the same day again! If I didn’t know any better I’d say one of you might be an alt of the other…
Totally different! Kings and Generals is a klutzy reporter from Metropolis, Perun is a suave trillionaire playboy who runs Auscorp Industries. Can't possibly be the same person...
I love Perun. Great channel. ^_^ Is there an episode he DOESN'T talk about "Private Conscriptovich?" lol.
@@williamyoung9401 Well, there was the episode when he was talking about the new breed of oligarch, Imma Gonnagetrich and company
another great video from my favorite channel😁
Did the politician whose party literally sent tanks to crush protests (twice) announce a desire for a “more democratic international system”?
Also in charge of a single party system.
The further China associates itself with their no-limits partner Russia, the more their words ring hollow. If China does nothing to oppose nuclear weapons being deployed in Belarus, then why shouldn't nuclear weapons be deployed in Taiwan?
The funniest part is accusing the US for “double standards” cause of Taiwan 😂
Another episode and another realization that this war is still going on. Geez man. Kudos for covering it so thoroughly!
More please!
Got in before 10 minutes after upload. Yeah I didn't need to sleep just yet!
Love for ever country sending help to Ukraine 🇺🇦
@Ace Montana yes bro the Nazi race is really oppressed and marginalised in the modern world so we need to help.
@@MrAce2000 The Nazis are the Russian aggressors ... and all those shills without a moral compass that support them.
@@MrAce2000 Ukraine has a Jewish president. That's not exactly something Nazis would do. Given that, Ukraine is still corrupt and Zelenskyy is a shyt-bird--a propaganda hero created by the West.
"stop it onii-chan"
im dying lmoa
I wish you took a deeper dive into the casualty numbers but only showed what us sources have been showing, because most people wont look further and just assume this is true, as there are lots of conflicting reports on casualty numbers
Didn't expect K&G to make a covert PH reference in a war video on Ukraine, but here we are. What a time to be alive...
Ad ends, video begins at 2:08
I like how you explain everything in detail I want your videos thank you
For the first time I have seen clear, explaining maps, perfect understandable english, good assessments. You can leave the absolutely disturbing background music out. 80% of these sites are crapp but you are doing well. Compliments.💯👋NL
I'll never not be amazed at how brave and capable Ukrainian soldiers are. I hope they get everything they need to win back their land.
@@CheGuevara58 Did you have a stroke?
@@hafor2846 🤣👍
Very nice video
Must be Christmas.. both Perun and Kings & General posted videos at the same time
This is my source of news for this conflict
17:08 One thing of note; I've heard a source mention that a suspiciously high number of search and rescue calls were made around the time of the drone-SU-27 collision... they may have lost the jet as well.
Thats a tough one, I did see a video of Putin giving the pilot a medal for downing the drone and the pilot was talking about it on their national TV, unless they used a fake pilot to advertise, hard to tell which is true to be honest.
And you don’t think does “suspiciously” high numbers of search and rescue calls were to gather the downed drone?
Love these videos so much work goes into these videos! One of the best channels on RUclips! Thank you for making these!
I recently saw wagner ads on youtube
15:22 K&G are cultured individuals confirmed
Thank you so much for keeping us updated. Continuing to pray for the whole situation and for the lives involved.
that "stop it,onii chan" i laugh so hard i thought i was hearing it wrong i replay it for 2nd time and i was right damn man you make me laugh xD
This is certainly one of the analysis of what's happening in the war in Ukraine
Nice just what i wanted. :)
There isn't a chance in hell Rheinmetall is going to build a tank factory in Ukraine in the next few years, and even less of a chance it's going to cost only $200m.
Thank you for your coverage! I always look forward to them.

Maybe we can finish this war candy bar before we open another one?
@@williamyoung9401 or they do both. It is not like the ukraine war is the only topic they spend their time on
Always great to watch this channels summary of the recent developments.
thnak you very much from Kyiv!
Awesome coverage as always
So China wants ‘a more democratic international system’….??? I can’t stop laughing 😝 😂
Hah same
In the end do not cry be carefull 😊😊😊
Why not? History of the last 2 decades shows that the west can attack any countries without consequences. We need multi-polar world.
China is lying through its teeth; they have benefited greatly from this war, more than any other country according to Konstantin of Inside Russia.
China may already be moving on eastern and southern Russia. Not by sending military troops to occupy Russian lands, but by buying and bribing. Russian governors would suddenly ignore all orders from Moscow and start taking orders from Beijing instead, and the Kremlin would just keep quiet and do nothing.
Russia is becoming increasingly economically dependent on China, and there is no way that China isn’t going to take advantage of that. All in the Game after all.
Hahaha
I'd like to point out that the Bakhmut calculas should not be viewed as a comparision of attrition. While it does seem to be true that is only because we lack the context to make meaning out of these decisions. In truth this should be viewed more from a higher level perspective in how the battle is affecting each sides combat potential overall. That is, the sides ability to conduct meaningful operations like offensives or defensives. Manpower is part of this but lives traded is not a complete picture. The big question will be in how well Ukraine has been doing in their force generation. It seems like Ukraine might have used Bahkmut to lock the enemy in place and reduce damages to free up troops. This only makes sense when you consider that if the enemy is not locked in Bahkmut then Ukraine needs a larger number of forces to defend because to account for attacks from unpredictiable directions. If we assume Ukraine is locking them in place to pull some forces back for training and resting than that means they might be generating a significant attack force for their new offensive through veterin forces withdrawn to train on western weapons and a mix of new troops mustered and trained. If they are successful and were able to hold Bahkmut's front with minimial forces then its possible the force they are mustering will go into an offensive facing a thined out enemy that is low on supplies and demoralized. If they successfully use western weapons and combined arms training to a sufficient degree then a single break through can turn into a route since western weapons are designed for rapid manouver warfare. That might not be the outcome, but the threat of such an outcome increases as long as Russia continues to loose combat power while Ukraine gains it.
@@keith6371 Let's humor you and assume that is true for a second. Then we can assume the superior Russian forces should be able to dominate that megar force. Let's pick any particular part on the front. IF this is true then Russia should have made a significant gain anywhere on the front and either forced the surrender or destroyed a force on a front in Ukraine. This contridicts the reality on the ground and Russian attacks have not moved the lines in any significant way. Ukraine having no sigificant forces and Russia failing to advance with a superior force cannot both be true. Thus by contridiction your claim is false.
@@jaysonkmendoza That is because there is no significant force left in Russia, their prisons have been tapped dry. I am sorry but the war is over, Putin just can't admit it. How long will it be before Putin is pinning war medals on children?
@@keith6371 Offensive wise Russia can follow with slightest of advances and hold. If a Ukraine offensive is initiated and advance they cannot hold their gains. Only a matter of time Ukraine loses this war of attrition.
Ukraine wants a stalemate at all costs but the odds are this snail war as it is on the side of Russia and Putin knows he has to finish it off before a Republican President assumes the Whitehouse.
@@Edax_Royeaux I think there is a significant force. Though modern warfare is not treating their doctrine of sending untrained troops on poorly coordinated massive attacks to wear the enemy down well. They raised a lot of troops and literally ran them into the ground in a few short months. That is a grim achievent and if they failed this time I don't know how the next wave will turn out better for them. With NATO tightning the screws on Russia, their ability to continue the fight will come down to how 'IN' China will be in their support. China will likely consider major moves in the next few years because Russia messed with their plans in a big way. China wanted to keep the military option open but after Russia kicked the bees nest many NATO countries are re-investing in their capabilities and building up war industries. This means China's window of opportunity to use military force is going to close in the next 5 years. They are not quite ready now and there are moves that see they could be planning something in 2-3 years (which is accelerated from their original plans). However, they might also consider risking more direct involvement now by providing lethal arms to pump Russia full of gear and commit to helping train their troops. That would put them in direct opposition to all of the west and force them to be a total pariah so if they are willing to go that far I think them taking hostile actions somewhere themselves becomes more likely should they travel that path. China is not quite committed to the military option yet though and does hope and prefer to build a multipolar world through trade and diplomacy instead so it will be curious to see if they are willing to let the military option slip away for another few decades because once the west gears up it will take decades for us to feel safe enough to let it decline again.
@@jaysonkmendoza One more thing about Bahmut is that. Enemy anticipate attacks from other direction and they will fortify them. But do they fortifying bahmut to of possible attack. UA needs counter attack less defiance line and Bahmut can be good option too, and they can cut enemy in Donetsk.

Perun mentioned the advantages of cluster munitions months ago, and the US apparently has nearly bottomless stockpiles of it. Should've already been sent en mass, IMO.
For the visually confirmed losses, do you have information on total numbers?
If so, perhaps a graph (horizontal stacked bar chart) would be helpful. This could show the number lost sofar relative to the total number and the stacked portion would show the losses per month, so relative to each other.
Aren’t the numbers they give always the total numbers? And the “ (+2) (+5) “ is the number lost within this specific 2wk period?
@@UGNAvalon
That's total lost so far, I mean like x tanks out of the y tanks they had in total.

I gotta ask, was that "Stop it Onii-Chan" line a Devin idea or improv? Cause that definitely sounded like an offy-d line
15:16 i cant believe that i would ever hear in my lifetime hearing Kings and Generals saying "stop it onii-chain"
i needed a smoke on that one
How to supply F-16's to Ukraine:
Create international volunteer fighter squadron.
The fact Germany sent 2/3 as much equipment to Ukraine in January 2023 than they did in all or most of 2022 says a lot. NATO CAN supply Ukraine, IF we choose to. (8:38)
"stop its oni-chan" lol KG slipped back into Nuke Tashino for a second there
Fantastic reporting .
I just noticed the new title video clip
Tunnel supply lines is apparently the reason for Bakmut. If they have to withdrawal they can use these tunnels and destroy them on the way out. Also, if you are killing at a 5:1 ratio, you are winning, even if it’s a “delaying action” waiting for more western weapons.
lol you seriously believe the ukrainians have a 5:1 kill advantage? Dude 80% of the casualties in this war are due to artillery and shrapnel. Russia has a 9:1 artillery advantage... It is not rocket science.
When Bakhmut falls, there won't be long until they reach Kramatorsk. I sincerely hope that this does not happen and by some miracle Ukraine manages to hold off and force Russia to negotiate terms for peace. But that won't happen...
