HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 апр 2024
- Ukraine's top general says his forces have suffered several setbacks on the battlefield in the war against Russia. In posts made on social media on Sunday, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Oleksandr Syrsky, said: "The situation on the front has worsened…The enemy has concentrated its main efforts on several areas, creating a significant advantage in forces and resources. The enemy is actively attacking along the entire front line, and making tactical gains in some areas…"
For more on this, we talk to military analyst Franke Ledwidge, who just returned from Ukraine.

You guys told us Russian weapons wouldn’t last them a year. What happened?
You believed the MSM?. That’s very naive of you.
russians adepted a war time economy is what happened and republican in congress did not provided help in time so that new reality is now in place
promised support was held back by US republicans for nearly 3/4 of a year so eventually that shows when munitions run dry and it will take still some more time for the by now apporpriated support to reach the frontlines.
Meanwhile russia adpated a war time economy and if the west does not account for that and therefor also keeps up support or rather increases that support, the war may get lost for Ukrain. Otherwise purely from production capabilities, the west is a deeper well, but to draw from it would also mean consequences for the populations in the west which of cause for a pampered populace may seem inconvenient.
edit: grammar
@@kinngrimmyou ready to volunteer to fight in Ukraine?
@@kinngrimmThe weapons you claim were held back is a lie. The money promised is for production of new weapons, not drawing from existing stocks which are depleted across the West. Don’t parrot the Democrats.
WAIT - the same guy said russia "ran out of ammo" in August of 2022 was the SAME GUY that said "China is doomed to fail".
they did run out of ammo in certain areas, but something called supply lines exist and eventually they get more.
You forgot he needed ping pong Xi and Unn for new ammo and equipment already?
Russia had low missiles ammo, then it thinks about war economy and eat their own country for war crimes. Well their infrastructure is bad, why dam breaks in Russia
He has 0 credibility and doesn't know how real war works😂😂😂This is why Ukraine is losing, they are listening to people like this.
Remember Prigozin swearing about ammo ?
Significant gains as Ukraine Gains backwards while Russia retreats fowards
Haha !!!
I want these western analysts' job - they can carry on being wrong again and again and againa and again and again ... over literally decades, and still call themselves experts and be paid.
USA and EU sacrifice Ukraine trying to weaken Russia as they think, but in fact Russia is only becoming stronger.
Western leaders think that removing Coca-Cola and McDonald's from the country will cause famine, a riot and the collapse of the state, but for some reason nothing happened
That is there job, the are advertisers not analyst.
It's like forecasting the weather!
They are paid for what they say.😜
that's the kind of "expert" they need, and got.
For anyone who follows at least partially the situation in Ukraine the analysis of this "expert" is an insult of our intelligence.
Imagine what would Russians do if they had clean, not rusted shovels, and real microchips, not those pulled out from washing machines.
That's exactly what is starting to happen
imagine they were capable of providing these things themselves ... only to realize they aren't
Yah the old stuff are gone....
excellent point

The Russians are taking this fight deadly seriously. Regardless of whether you agree with their motives or not they are in this to win. These West by contrast has been all over the place.
There's a difference between Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Russia... it's beginning to be more and more clear
in Afghanistan, Americans shot women and children with machine guns, but here the situation is completely different
Afghanistan caused Russia to collapse last time when they were armed with western weapons. This is a lot more intense.
The difference is the Americans weren’t trying to annex parts of other countries for themselves.
@@jeremyj5932they were trying to. Indirectly by proxy.
@@Pqihtyieojn12 said who ? Putin ?
The real news is: 47th mechanized brigade left its frontline positions because they werent rotated out for a year, Russians noticed the gaps on the frontline, and made a 6 km advance, capturing Ocheretine in a few hours, blocking any traffic towards the south. That made the 115th mechanized brigade's position untenable since they were surrounded, so they had to evacuate Berdichi. Ukraine has to retreat 10 kilometers towards the next potential natural barrier. North of that position in Krasnokhorivka two columns of tanks and troop carriers made a 4 km rush towards the town, and deployed assault squads on the southern outskirts, which almost instantly captured those positions. By seeing the success Russians sent a constant cycling of troop carriers and sent four tanks which rushed in the streets of the city and spotted the potential Ukrainian troop concentrations. Where they found some the troops were directed there, so they took 3/4 of the town by the end of the day.
to whom are you trying to explain??? they don't care. they never try to find ukraine on map
Just giving depth to what actually is behind Sirsky's report. They only mentioned Chasiv Yar, where Su25's made flyovers over Ukrainian positions last week, which pretty much freaked them out.@@eliotness4029
Interesting, thanks.
Thanks. I tried following other channels such as Duran and History Legend but this detail about the withdrawal of the 47th was somehow missed.
for that, Blinkin is trying to blame China for Ukr's failure ?
Saying Ukraine can beat Russia is like saying Biden can walk upstairs without falling over..
😂😂
the russians have learned a great deal from this war and damn it would be very difficult for any military to defeat them now.
sure, and they just have to spend every cent of their economy to keep it up. wont have to defeat them on the battlefield. But if we do decide to, the west has twenty times the GDP of Russia. that means if we spend 2 percent of our GDP to produce weapons, russia has to spend 40 percent of GDP just to keep up. you see how thats not a sustainable situation for Russia right?
@@peterpeterpeter6315is the GDP fighting in the battlefield?! If it does, then all those countries also are suffering a lot setbacks too! Ukraine has got billions of dollars on expensive equipment which shows to be ineffective on the battlefield! Ultimately, even Ukranians troops have been unsatisfied with those user-unfriendly, costly and commercial western military equipments, intended for both military operations and also profits private weapon manufacturers. How about that? 😂😂😂😂

On April 23, 2024 a new rule was put out on Ukrainian embassy website. Ukraine has stopped issuing new passports to some military-aged men living abroad as part of a bid to pressure them to return home to fight. The move is temporary and comes the day after the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry suspended consular services for men from 18 to 60 years old. Long queues formed at passport offices in European countries after Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced the measures. The limits come shortly after Ukraine adopted a new, stricter mobilization policy to shore up forces amid gains by Russia on the battlefield.
This so called analyst or expert forgot to mention what happened to the previously supplied air defense systems.
they run out of ammo
After this war ended, most wanted items are Russian Shovels😊😊

So basically the front has collapsed. That’s what he is saying.
Lmao. The frontline has collapsed. Boy expectations for rusbots are low
No. Unfortunately, the Russians are still there. But it is just a matter of time.....
By looking at live maps, I think there’s a spearhead that made it through, but I wouldn’t say that the frontline has collapsed.
It collapsed months ago. Russia has been in control of Ukraine entire east coast since prior to December
Real men who deeply care about the lives of ordinary Ukrainians would have demanded for the war to stop and brought Ukraine and Russia to star real negotiations. Unfortunately, there are people who have vested interest in the continuation of the war. Ukraine sadly lacks visionaries and the country is being destroyed slowly.
Every time he says Russia is learning he has to say Ukraine is learning too so if all are learning then how do you describe what's happening 😮
Everybody can learn.but putting into practice the lessons you learned while fighting a war and battles ,it's a different thing.the other guy won't allow you to play your game.

There exists no conceivable scenario in which Russia relinquishes control of Crimea and the Donbas region. The provision of NATO-led weaponry by the US will not bolster Ukraine's position; rather, it will inevitably lead to further casualties on the battlefield during the interim. It is imperative to pursue a negotiated settlement without delay. Failure to do so risks the West's unwavering support for Ukraine, at the cost of lives on the battlefield.

The truth is that Mr Putin is not interested in liberating anyone in Ukraine, and he doesn't care how many people die. He just wants to be admired by millions of serfs as the next Tsar of all the Russias.

@@asynchronicity Aye, perhaps the leadership back then didn't want to bleed out their good soldiers unlike Putin. Two different cultures and people as well though - definitely not a good idea to try and occupy Afghanistan.
The US was successful in supporting a parallel Afghan society run by Afghans for 21 years, but as we unfortunately saw when the Roman Legions were unceremoniously called back in a disastrous move by Biden, the Taliban took over swiftly, conquering the corrupt Afghan army and propped up western led Afghan government in a matter of days.

But it has absolutely no interest - nor the material capability - to get involved in a wider war.

I recalled that the defense minister of Ukraine was replaced. The motives were just that his staff did not believe of the Ukranian victory. However, I imagine this scenario. He wanted to retreat its forces near the capital to concentrate their defenses and to coordinate better the units, to which Zelinsky did not agree. Instead of studying the assessment, he replaced the minister of defense.
Before the aid they were losing because of the lack of supply. Now after 60 billion dollar aid they still losing because it's not enough. 😅
And for the 1st time I hear DW's tone is sobering up, hopefully they will start working for peace now rather than fueling war now that the prospect of sending their own kids to the meat grinder is growing.
Gosh here's someone who thinks that the kids of the Russians don't count for anything at all.
Appeasement doesn’t work, if we let Putin take Ukraine he will just move on to other NATO countries. He has already proved he will violate a peace deal.
This is the same comedian military analyst that said over 2 years ago that Russia will collapse in a month .
Dithered for several months!? The mobilization should have been started very early on and kept a steady pace moving conscripts into units *with* volunteers. Mixed together motivation can spread.
Oh man. When you see an ukrainian soldier wearing yellow armbands, that means he is a freshmeat, means he is less tha 3 month serving in the army. And I can tell you, I havent seen an Ukrainian trooper not wearing a yellow armband since the battle of Bakhmut. These are already untrained junkies, the professional Ukrainian military ceased to exist at year 1 of this war.
I Thought Russian was running out of missilen in 2022
They are advancing with shoves
USA and EU sacrifice Ukraine trying to weaken Russia as they think, but in fact Russia is only becoming stronger.
Western leaders think that removing Coca-Cola and McDonald's from the country will cause famine, a riot and the collapse of the state, but for some reason nothing happened
