How can it be "another Mariupol" if Severodonetsk is already taken, with relatively minimal damage to civilian infrastructure? And talking about Kharkov, the Russian have already retaken most of the gains from the Ukrainian counter-offensive.
yep, Ukraine has been outplayed at every stage of this conflict. Meanwhile the United States and EU are on the verge of total economic collapse, and RF has been virtually unhindered by all of the stupid sanctions. Energy independent, food independent, and plenty of international customers still willing to fork over Rubles for gas. Meanwhile I'm looking at 7 dollars a gallon for gasoline and somehow all the sheeple are still docile and unwilling to save themselves from the cabal that blatantly rigged the election.
It can never be another Mariupol. Mariupol's steel factory was a fort. This town is not. They could bomb Mariupol for weeks and weeks, but still it was a safe place. This city can easily be leveled and there will be no place to hide. It is no hideout and cant be used as one. The only choice is to fall back when attacked. Going underground is not possible here. That is a big difference.
Mariupol was also the main base of Azov, that were Ukraines best fighters. Who had 8 years of battle experience. While the Ukraines army is mostly formed from people with no battle experience and only weeks of training.
#analytics Severodonetsk this is a huge industrial zone bigger than in Mariupol and there are also underground storages and tunnel factories it is more than azovstal
There is also another very big difference... Mariupol was cut of from other troops by a long distance. Here?? Ukrainians have large number of troops just across the river, so they have their own artillery and anti-aircraft. Either way, Severodonetsk has no real strategic value, Ukrainians are holding it just to increase Russian losses with a lot less on their side.
In Mariupol, they stored munitions for 8 years; nothing like this in Severodonetsk. Therefore, once the roads are cut, there will be thousands of prisoners - "evacuated" into the PoW camps.
@комиссар полиции обвиняет , true but the river is shallow, so can be crossed (not everywhere but in places) even without bridges. But the supplies are almost impossible without bridges.
@@atz44 , well, technically speaking, yes: "evacuate" means making the place "vacuous" (= empty) which is certainly what happens when the soldiers surrender and are moved to a PoW camp.
@комиссар полиции обвиняет there is still one bridge useable to lysychansk but i bet the russian will wait until the ukrainians try to flee and then pound the bridge with artilery and heavey weapon.
It cant be Mariupol in any terms .. Mariupol was a base of Azov the best equipped military in Ukraine with 20k troops prepared to defend the city which was turned into a fort after the 8 years of war .. another thing is Mariupol wasnt evacuated unlike most of the Severodonetsk.. The difference is also 100k population vs 500k.. and the last thing is Azovstal .. it was an antinuclear bomb shelter from the Coldwar for more than 10k workers on the plant ..
There’s still fighting in the AZOVSTAL now…apparently a group of around 50 Azov still won’t surrender…I actually saw a Russian video in Mariupol and Russia is still bombing the steel plant NOW..!!!
This is what we have been hearing from day dot, Ukrainian soldiers are digging in,fighting back, destroying Russian tanks so on and so forth. But the actual story turns out the opposite a week or two later.
yeah because of course the russians take every single city they come across, nobody can resist them, kyiv and kharkiv both already fell, zelensky is being held in putins dungeon and being fed nothing but porridge, ukraine was always russia, this is lies by western media, ZZZZZZZZZ
Zelenskyy does not order his forces to retreat so it will be another unnecessary loss of life trying to hold a city against overwhelming numbers. To the last Ukrainian indeed…
@@Emraz maybe Who knows, for me its sounds like that the west is underestimating the Russian army. Their claim is that Russia losing the war, their advance are slow and not effective etc.
Another victorious 'retreat' by the Ukranians. Sky News never uses the word 'defeat'. The Ukranians are engaging in a glorious 'retreat' until their entire country has been retreated and they run off to Poland.
As much as I like this guy and his analysis he has quite a bit wrong in this one. Sieverdonetsk is unlikely to become another Mariupol. The Ukrainians are slowly pulling back across the river in an orderly fashion . I doubt that they have any heavy weapons in the town by now as they are not needed there. The remaining citizens are either pro- Russian or the elderly and hopefully will not be abused by the Russians. Kharkiv is only 35km from the Russian border so it is within artillery range despite Russia pulling back from it's outskirts. The push by Ukraine near Kherson is tiny. It's a handful of troops testing the waters , not a major incursion by Ukraine.
In Kherson the ukranian resistance is killing collaborators but I dont see the same in Mariupol where 60 to 70% of the city fled or Severononesk where half stayed. Those cities had simpathies for the LPR/DPR and an ukranian counterattack to retake them will have to wait a lot
Ukrainian offensives make the Russian task of destroying the Ukranian military much easier. Clarke fails to notice that as well. Funny how so many sheeple rate his analysis because they are already so propagandised.
There are no veterans.. These are all people from the third mobilization.. most of them hold a weapon for the first time in their life.. They even refuse to go to the positions.. there are countless videos about these clashes between the individual units and their commanders
@@danvega810 That is certainly what the Russians are claiming. However, like many things the Russians say there is no evidence to suggest that it is true.
Ukraine has successfully defended it's status as a sovereign state, and it is no longer possible for Russia to take Kyiv. However, It is still up in the air whether Russia will be able to take these smaller cities on the edge of the country.
@@globin3477 Ukraine has NOT been a sovereign nation since the Maidan coupe of 2014 backed by USA ousted viktor Yanakovich from power and installed a puppet.
@@globin3477 The Russians put the squeeze on the Ukrainian troops at Kyiv to bottle them up and then redrew the vast majority of them for other duties, while the few keep them contained. As far as the other small cities it will be a cakewalk, it's all over but for the fat lady to sing her song and Ukraine will be a much smaller state.
The problem is that they may not have a way to retreat because of the river. I do not think they have any bridges still intact. So they may be swimming.
It s bad because even if they manage to retreat properly they ll have to leave all their heavy eqquipment behind and there s a massive shortage of heavy eqquipment in Ukraine right now
@@erileka5228 Yep. Hopefully they destroy their equipment so the Russian's don't get it. Maybe leave it by the river, and have artillery destroy it when the Russians get there, kill two birds with one stone. I would suspect that the Russians are keeping an eye on the river as well, and would be shelling as people are trying to cross. Ukraine has the same problem getting across in a retreat that the Russians did for their advance.
In Mariupol the defenders were surrounded and there was no escape route, therefore the defence was more robust...sveredonetsk isn't surrounded and I guess the defenders may have an escape route to the west if they start to become overwhelmed and the destruction may not be so bad.
Dvornikov never fully encircles his enemy. He prefers to leave predictable retreat routes and shell them once observers notice troop movements. The "golden bridge"
"When surrounding your enemy do not put him on death's ground to where he will fight desperately. Leave a means of escape and he will not be in the mood to fight to the death" - Sun Tzu

@@joeswanson5486 All the Russian channels are banned Worldwide. Moreover, most people have watched only mainstream media since childhood & now about this war they are getting only one sided story. The real issue imo is Paper Monetary System/ Petro - Dollar conflict.
Last I heard the Ukrainians had already fled the city when the Chechen Russian forces entered, backed up by LPR forces. They expected to take a week to conquer the city, then said three days, then did it in one day due to Ukraine fleeing/withdrawing/relocating, and had mostly already fled back over the river. That was well over a day ago. I'm curious how on time the report sources are for Sky News.
This is awful for everyone. The US/UK are happy to fight Russia in this proxy war down to the very last Ukrainian. The volunteer units are giving up in their droves. Commanders instructed by NATO can't get the units to fight. The units have no training, no weapons and no vehicles. These are normal men who value their lives and want to return to their families. They are realising that the interests of those in Kyiv don't align with their own lives.
@@shrimperlincs3395 - "The volunteer units are giving up in their droves. Commanders instructed by NATO can't get the units to fight." Hello Ivan! So the Russians perhaps left Kharkiv just because they suddenly felt like doing so? Had nothing to do with the Ukrainian soldiers attacking them? The same story in Kiev?
@@adoatero5129 I'm not even close to being a Russian. I'm British to the core. However, I am trying to get information from all sides and as many sources as possible. Having done this it appears that the narrative from the likes of Sky News aren't very balanced. The Russian side's narrative is just as warped and full of propaganda as the Ukrainian-Nato alliance's side. It's very hard to piece together anything close to the truth, which is why most people accept the strongest signal aka the mainstream narrative.
He didn't want to tell us about the Ukrainian commad HQ being blown up on the Kherson front. Perhaps he ran out of time 🤣🤣🤣. The "progress" around Kharkov is hot air - filling in an empty space the Russians don't want is not a victory.
The Kherson region is being shelled and suffering missile attacks on a daily basis from the Ukrainians. The attacks are on civilian homes, there is nothing of military significance there. This shell and missile attacks are going on for 8 years, since the Maiden Coup overthrew the elected government of Ukraine. Patrick Lancaster posted a video yesterday that showed two neighbouring homes that suffered a missile attack. The missile was loaded with cluster munition. In the video in one yard there are the bodies of a mother and father killed by the missile, right next door a man's wife lies in the yard dead. Why isn't corporate media showing these reports!!!
The Luhansk administrator said Severodontesk is 90% completely destroyed and civilians are dying in hundreds...but the latest videos show civilians just sitting in benches and cooking food. Some buildings are completely destroyed, most of the buildings are only partially destroyed while some aren't even touched.
@Olaf Sigurson ruclips.net/video/4ZEvhTQc9nY/видео.html nope. This video was released yesterday. The situation will be same now too. Luhansk administrator said the statement 3-4 days ago
@Olaf Sigurson If Ukraine parks their military besides home the home falls in range of military target. If civil building is used by ukrainian army they are bombed as legitimate military target. Otherwise they dont target civilians particularly.

Nope, actually the Ukrainians Fled Severidonetsk much faster than anticipated by the Russians. It’s fully under Russian Control now. We are not surprised at all knowing the current condition of the Ukrainian Forces…
Considering all of the state of the art weapons they have in abundance and all the supplies and equipement to go with them shouldnt the Ukrainians be doing much better than they are doing? After 3 months of war and the failed start the Russians had and considering all the news we were told Zelensky could have walked to Moscow on dead Russian soldiers by now. Or was Sky News lying about how good the situation was looking for Ukraine?

Then there is all the humanitarian aid such as food that is going on supermarket shelves and being sold to people still living in the cities.

Those two are Russian trolls. They just spread Russian propaganda. They are not "badass journalists". They are taken to those places and protected by Russian soldiers who they accompany with.
They're being pushed back, and unfortunately I don't see how the Ukrainians will be able to hold on to any of the remainig Donbas cities this way. The Russians are targeting them one by one with a concentration of resources, so the Ukrainian defenders will be outnumbered and surrounded each time unless they can boost their numbers and hardware significantly in each city without neglecting the other fronts or only defend the large cities with prepared defensive lines and underground dugouts/bunkers around them.
“and unfortunately I don't see how the Ukrainians will be able to hold on to any of the remainig Donbas cities this way.” Translation into truthspeak: “and fortunately I don't see how the Nato-controlled Kiev regime will be able to hold on to any of the remainig Donbas cities this way.”
@Gold Eagle: True, but the russians bombard the towns and destroy even civilian buildings, heck!, they destroy anything. That is not a fair fight, it is a crime done by Russian. The ukrainians have a hard time destroying the numerous russian batteries which fire from a long distance, and it is totally understandable. That's why they need the long range multi rocket system from the US.

That’s why I mentioned (interconnected) dugouts and underground bunkers around and in the cities. They should be building them now in kramatorsk etc.
@@drususmaior1641 Russia only attacked when the US started sending puppets into her neighbours' politics.. The US never has sincerity in trying to control other countries' politics through proxies and puppets..

They did not see this because they are blind to read "between the lines" in all US moves at that region since a few decades ago..
Its much harder to attack then defend. I suspect the Kherson offensive to cause a lot of casualties for Ukraine and they are banking on the US Weapons arriving. If they dont get any weapons, this offensive on Kherson could be the turning point
The weapons are coming, it's takes a bit to get the conveyor going, and once it gets going it'll keep going as the west has quite a bit of resources. The Russians have forgotten how they beat back the Germans with lend-lease from the USA. Without lend-lease support from the USA and its Allies, Russia is going to run out of gear soon.
@@gregmenego2200 i think it wont really be a huge issue for the russians to repel the ukraine offense since theyve already built strong defenses, remember theyve been there for more than 2 months now
The offensive in Kherson is already over with massive destruction of the Ukrainian troops that participated including the destruction of their command center in the sector.
I unfortunately saw the results of that Ukrainian Kherson counter offensive. Over 20 vehicles destroyed and almost all of those 100 men dead or injured along the rail line leading into Kherson. from the vid i saw they got pounded by artillery as soon as they got in range
Duh, this war showed Russia is a big clumsy bear, a big dangerous clumsy bear. It takes one single russian bear swipe to undo several good ukrainian hits.
'Another Mariupol'. But Ukrainian troops running for the river. Can't be both. Professor Clarke getting it wrong again. 'Pushing hard'? Ukrainian Kherson offensive has been obliterated last time I looked.
Let me be clear Ukraine is losing nice and slow in a slow grind as the EU continues to punch its self in the face with oil and gas sanctions and the US piling money/debt and weapons in that the Russian will also eventually take....
In Kharkiv the Ukrainians have been routed, they followed the Russians into an artillery trap and have been blasted, the units fled to positions just North of Kharkiv.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Wellington was "never more masterly than in retreat". It is very, very difficult for many people to grasp that an orderly retreat isn't necessarily a defeat. It can be a strategic withdrawal. To preserve communications, or supplies, or necessary infrastructure, or lives, a reordering of the lines of battle may be the best action. Ukraine is still trading ground for time. But putting the river between them and the invaders may be their best bet. They don't want to trade lives for time. They need to hold where they can until the new heavy weaponry arrives in large numbers. Some is trickling in. But not enough.
Russian withdrew from Kyiv and Khakov when they realized they will lose most troops in the stalemete than the ukranians. In Severodonetsk the ukranians Nd fighting an orderly retreat which makes any victory a pyrrical one
@@spencerhopkinson9874 Ukraine has already won. It won the instant Zelenskyy's "I don't need a ride. I need ammunition." went viral. There are two aspects to this war. One is the physical fighting. The other is global judgement. Ukraine has already won the latter. There were three blocs, and two outliers, of response to Russia's invasion. The vast majority of western countries condemed. A very few already considered 'rogue' countries supported. India and China chose neutrality. And the African countries were uninterested. Now those African countries are facing dire straits because Putin is blockading grain shipments. This is not endearing Russia to countries foreseeing famine. All in all, Russia has comprehensively lost the global factor. As to the physical fighting. Ukraine has already won there. The utmost Russia can gain is the Donbas. They already occupied a large section since 2014. Thousands of lives, billions in infrastructure destruction, and trillions in military costs have been expended. The factories and land which, arguably, would have made future profits for Russia are destroyed. The port of Mariupol is the only inarguable benefit. And even that will need money poured into it to bring it into proper operational readiness. As I stated, Ukraine has already won.
AFAIK, Ukraine launched 2 attacks towards Kherson, and lost both. Badly. A lot of losses. Apparently, Russians were well aware of what is going on (who would have guessed that Russians are not stupid!) and just were waiting for them, being fully prepared. Heavy shelling of coming Ukrainian forces is all it took to stop these attempts.
@@legioner9 I mean, there has been at least one wave of attacks carried out by UAF and there hasn't been much news of any significant breakthrough other than few kms which suggests that the attacks have been stalled. But what I doubt about the OP is that the UAF suffered significant losses. What I believe to be the case is that UAF has stalled its attacks against first slightly larger resistance as to preserve their man and equipment until the HIMARS arrive.
@@dominikbibko7891 True. I think the same. Hope those HIMARS arrive soon. I mean, even my country, Romania, has them. And Romania isn't that strong military-wise.
For the past two weeks, all I've heard is how Russia is gaining ground. Unless Ukraine can pull some miracle, it looks like they are going to lose the Donbas. And once that falls, Russia will move on to even more territory.
I think the idea behind Ukraine's strategy is that Russia can't A) Hold the territory and B) Take the losses to gain ground in the long term Ukraine is clearly the weaker party so they have to rely on attrition or unconventional warfare to really bend the Russians.
Russia is gaining ground, but if they keep the current rate it will take them until the end of the summer to take all the Donbass, and this is being optimistic for the Russians. And the Russians are also suffering heavy casualties, so if this keeps up, taking the Donbass by the end of the summer will leave them to depleted to launch a major offensive afterwards
It sucks but i wouldn't give up hope ... Russia is gaining ground but the cost to gain only a few KMs a day is unsustainable ... and the battle of the Donbas was supposed to be a big encircle out of Iyzum but instead the Russians keep downgrading their objectives to smaller and smaller pincers
@@alexandrejosedacostaneto381 the famed “culmination point” may be coming again. We have seen a Ukrainian counterattack further south, and though it’s faltering, it indicates that the Ukrainians had the confidence to push, the Ukrainians still cannot match the Russians head on, but they can grind em down and seek a decisive battle with depleted forces. At this point it’s a question of which side breaks first and where.
Severodonetsk cannot into "another Mariupol" because there are no catacombs in the industrial area of Severodonetsk. The Ukrainian Military has to defend on ground level against advancing troops of LPR and Russia. Ukraine has already retreated into the industrial area of the city. What could resemble the siege of Mariupol is an encirclement of 15k Ukrainian troops in the agglomeration of the cities Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, Siversk, Zolote. If pro-Russian troops manage to do that, they can starve the Ukrainian troops and force them to surrender. Around Kharkov, the Ukrainian counter offensive failed and Ukrainian troops withdrew to positions they had before the begin of their counter offensive. Near Kherson, the Ukrainian counter offensive also failed and Ukraine lost 200 KIA, 300 wounded and 70 PoWs.
This guy is a military genius.......(sarcasm) There were no battles around Kharkhiv. The Russians were threatening to storm the city holding Ukrainian armies in place while the Russians went about encircling the thousands of Ukrainians in Severodonetsk.
Wtf... Severodonetsk is relatively small city with 100.000 pops before the war, 15.000 now. And Mariupol was fortified for years. Two or three days, lads ..
russia has already taken pretty much the entirety of sieverodonetsk. and good, the faster that the few remaining azov in the area are taken out, the better.
According to western media, russia has failured its objectives by capturing different cities in Ukraine such as kherson, Mariupol, popasan, lyman Severodonetsk, Izyum and others. what kind of failure is this?
Russians haven't captured Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mikolaiyv, or Odessa. Regime change ("denazification") is out of their reach; Novorossiya is out of their reach; capturing Donetsk seems more and more unlikely as time goes on. Popasna was a town of, what, some 20,000 people? Some 10 kilometers away from the LNR border? Claiming its capture as a significant victory for Russia's military at this point is simply _pathetic._
The failure of capturing a country that should have been captured weeks ago. The chances that they will be able to capute odessa is very low. The front line will probably not move much more until the end of the war
@@Kokozaftran no, they never told a time or deaths limit Time and dead man are not a factor. They had 3 objectives, and those 3 are going to be accomplished.
According to Western sources, Ukraine takes nearly no casualties and has never lost a tank so I think Russia will submit to the Western policies very soon, just like Germany after WW1 😎
@@beardedclam1673 LOL. Actually Zelensky admitted to losing over one hundred KIA per day, which means four hundred casualties each and every day.

The analysis is outdated.The Russian forces almost reclaimed Severodonetsk and already made strong moves towards Lisichansk.The Ukrainian forces got strong beating from the Russian forces in the Mykolaiv outskirts.More than 300 dead ukranian soldiers were killed in that area.
@@julianeskoromna5305 area is not that big, and there are no civilians as human shield this time. They will be crushed this time if they hide in tunnel.
Idk it would make sense for them to pull back beyond the river and destroy the bridges as they leave and focus more on holding Lysychansk, being a solider there in Severodonersk with a river to my back while the Russian advance is on multiple fronts would force a lot of anxiety in the defenders imo. Last I heard from people on the ground and from footage is that the Russians control the Majority of the city, there isn't anything near the same sort of defensive networks in place as there was in Mariupol.
*Can someone explain why and what for the Ukrainian army tried to attack Kherson? It was another DISASTER with the killing of a great number of Ukrainian soldiers.*
😂u won’t find that anywhere in the MSM but it was more of a disaster than the failed river crossing by the Russians. I’m quite sure they’ll have to leave the status quo of Kherson as it is n accept that it’s in Russian control
The world is facing the problem because of NATO. Russia vs Ukraine conflict would have been avoided if NATO has not taken any sides. The immaturity of NATO and poor quality of NATO/US leadership are the main cause of this conflict/special military operation. Honestly, when NATO and its leaders came to know of this conflict they should have taken a wise decision as Ukraine cannot be part of NATO with an existing conflict with its neighboring country. They should have acted unbiased and should have showed their neutrality and leadership skills. Rather, they took sides and did everything to fuel the fire. Very cheap NATO leaders, selfishness and ego of third parties are fueling and firing Ukraine Russia conflicts. If the third party has not taken sides and kept the NATO membership on hold then there shouldn't be a chance of weapons dealing this situation, rather both the countries would have been left to talk and decide the fate. Very worst NATO/US leadership's. They are just playing the game on other soil and killing the country and its people. We do not need a clever leader now, but just inneed of a leader with some basic common sense to be neutral to dissolve this conflict for the sake of humanity. Otherwise, the third parties/NATO/US will keep enjoying the scene and the actual impacted two parties will suffer in one way or other. At least Ukraine should have shown some maturity, thinking of its own capabilities in deciding for the sake of its own people and country. Only a right, capable and potential leader can take independent decisions and can find out other possible ways to deal the situation. But the present Ukraine leader became a doll dancing for NATO/US parties and became the best example of worst leadership thoughts and put the country on fire. Immaturity and stupidity is driving the show now. Very Sad for Ukraine!! Very Bad on NATO/US parties!! Very timely move by Russia!! Finally, I really LOVE all the countries being neutral!!...
The first balanced analysis from the MSM I've seen since the invasion began. The cracks in the Kiev Ukrainian narrative are appearing on a daily basis now.
Ukraine has no chance in this areas, they are native Russian speakers and have dropped their loyalty to Ukraine since 2014 when the US backed coup led to civil war. Russia has important local support
There was no US-backed coup. Stop spouting this bullsh*t. Yanukovych was Putin's puppet in Kiev. The Ukrainian people en mass protested Yanukovych for 4 months straight to her rid of him after he went against them by signing onto that stupid CIS-Eurasian economic union. Ukrainians wanted to trade with Eurozone and grow their economy like Poland. If Ukraine's economy had been allowed to progress like Poland's, it would be bigger than Russia's. That's what Putin can't allow.
Ukraine now has much better equipment however it will be tough for the Ukraine's as Russia keeps sending troops and equipment. Ukraine is being used by the West for multiple reasons. Not the narrative we hear on main stream media
False. Russia is the illegal invader. Ukraine is fighting for their freedom. The West is supporting Ukraine's justified defense. These are objective facts, and what the media is saying.
2 hr 7 min ago Ukraine is losing up to 100 soldiers every day, Zelensky says. The situation in the east [of Ukraine] is very difficult. We are losing 60 to 100 soldiers every day and something like 500 wounded in combat,” Zelensky said.

Now it's under Russian control
Mr. Expert. How does it feel to be wrong and intentionally lie people for the past 3 months?
It can never be another Mariupol. Mariupol's steel factory was a fort. This town is not. They could bomb Mariupol for weeks and weeks, but still it was a safe place. This city can easily be leveled and there will be no place to hide. It is no hideout and cant be used as one. The only choice is to fall back when attacked. Going underground is not possible here. That is a big difference.
Mariupol was also the main base of Azov, that were Ukraines best fighters. Who had 8 years of battle experience. While the Ukraines army is mostly formed from people with no battle experience and only weeks of training.
There is the Azot chemical factory
Lol. What's happening? Viewers are tenfold smarter then news anchors.
#analytics Severodonetsk this is a huge industrial zone bigger than in Mariupol and there are also underground storages and tunnel factories it is more than azovstal
There is also another very big difference... Mariupol was cut of from other troops by a long distance. Here?? Ukrainians have large number of troops just across the river, so they have their own artillery and anti-aircraft. Either way, Severodonetsk has no real strategic value, Ukrainians are holding it just to increase Russian losses with a lot less on their side.
In Mariupol, they stored munitions for 8 years; nothing like this in Severodonetsk. Therefore, once the roads are cut, there will be thousands of prisoners - "evacuated" into the PoW camps.
Evacuated? 😂
@комиссар полиции обвиняет , true but the river is shallow, so can be crossed (not everywhere but in places) even without bridges. But the supplies are almost impossible without bridges.
@@atz44 , well, technically speaking, yes: "evacuate" means making the place "vacuous" (= empty) which is certainly what happens when the soldiers surrender and are moved to a PoW camp.

@комиссар полиции обвиняет I think the Russians destroyed the bridge that was not under their control.
It cant be Mariupol in any terms .. Mariupol was a base of Azov the best equipped military in Ukraine with 20k troops prepared to defend the city which was turned into a fort after the 8 years of war .. another thing is Mariupol wasnt evacuated unlike most of the Severodonetsk.. The difference is also 100k population vs 500k.. and the last thing is Azovstal .. it was an antinuclear bomb shelter from the Coldwar for more than 10k workers on the plant ..
Since when "Surrender" changed to evacuation? . Paid western trolls seem to be working very hard updating their dictionary.

There’s still fighting in the AZOVSTAL now…apparently a group of around 50 Azov still won’t surrender…I actually saw a Russian video in Mariupol and Russia is still bombing the steel plant NOW..!!!
Exactly.
This is what we have been hearing from day dot, Ukrainian soldiers are digging in,fighting back, destroying Russian tanks so on and so forth. But the actual story turns out the opposite a week or two later.
Yup, constantly..
Brings back "Ghost of Kiev" memories. Ukraine is winning the propaganda war on-line, while the Russian Bear steadily wins the ground war.

Another victorious 'retreat' by the Ukranians. Sky News never uses the word 'defeat'. The Ukranians are engaging in a glorious 'retreat' until their entire country has been retreated and they run off to Poland.
'surrender' isn't in their vocabulary apparently either. It's .. 'evacuation' 😂
@@comment6864 it's not a retreat it is a special evacuation.
As much as I like this guy and his analysis he has quite a bit wrong in this one.
Sieverdonetsk is unlikely to become another Mariupol. The Ukrainians are slowly pulling back across the river in an orderly fashion . I doubt that they have any heavy weapons in the town by now as they are not needed there. The remaining citizens are either pro- Russian or the elderly and hopefully will not be abused by the Russians.
Kharkiv is only 35km from the Russian border so it is within artillery range despite Russia pulling back from it's outskirts.
The push by Ukraine near Kherson is tiny. It's a handful of troops testing the waters , not a major incursion by Ukraine.
I think your a better analysts than the so called expert on sky.
I suppose he meant in terms of severe destruction and street fighting.
We all know this but when will zelensky admit he is doomed to lose everything....
In Kherson the ukranian resistance is killing collaborators but I dont see the same in Mariupol where 60 to 70% of the city fled or Severononesk where half stayed. Those cities had simpathies for the LPR/DPR and an ukranian counterattack to retake them will have to wait a lot
Ukraine will be wiped out from the map it looks like ...Russia will war the war for another 10 years...
Clarke fails to mention the Ukraines offensive in Kherson was a failure they lost up to 200 men and equipment and were pushed back
Of course he fails.)) Cos ukranian advance was shattered by Russians.
@@Sant2409 agreed, they still move a bit but such a small territoy. In Instagram i also saw footage of their destroyed forces.
Ukrainian offensives make the Russian task of destroying the Ukranian military much easier. Clarke fails to notice that as well. Funny how so many sheeple rate his analysis because they are already so propagandised.
In a long war it is better to preserve your veteran troops than to fight to the death after being surrounded.
Retreat is the best option.
At least partial retreat.
The most capable and combat ready ukrainian regiments are already lost
yes ukranians are a retreat people.
There are no veterans.. These are all people from the third mobilization.. most of them hold a weapon for the first time in their life..
They even refuse to go to the positions.. there are countless videos about these clashes between the individual units and their commanders
@@danvega810 That is certainly what the Russians are claiming. However, like many things the Russians say there is no evidence to suggest that it is true.

I’ve seen this comment before
This channel has been saying Ukraine is winning the war since months ago. Now, please tell everyone which one is the truth?
Ukraine has successfully defended it's status as a sovereign state, and it is no longer possible for Russia to take Kyiv. However, It is still up in the air whether Russia will be able to take these smaller cities on the edge of the country.
@@globin3477 Ukraine has NOT been a sovereign nation since the Maidan coupe of 2014 backed by USA ousted viktor Yanakovich from power and installed a puppet.

@@globin3477 Ukraine could not have done this alone but Nato buttwipes have thrown in everything they got to make Zelensky the good guy
The problem is that they may not have a way to retreat because of the river. I do not think they have any bridges still intact. So they may be swimming.
It s bad because even if they manage to retreat properly they ll have to leave all their heavy eqquipment behind and there s a massive shortage of heavy eqquipment in Ukraine right now
@@erileka5228 Yep. Hopefully they destroy their equipment so the Russian's don't get it. Maybe leave it by the river, and have artillery destroy it when the Russians get there, kill two birds with one stone. I would suspect that the Russians are keeping an eye on the river as well, and would be shelling as people are trying to cross. Ukraine has the same problem getting across in a retreat that the Russians did for their advance.

In Mariupol the defenders were surrounded and there was no escape route, therefore the defence was more robust...sveredonetsk isn't surrounded and I guess the defenders may have an escape route to the west if they start to become overwhelmed and the destruction may not be so bad.

Last I heard the Ukrainians had already fled the city when the Chechen Russian forces entered, backed up by LPR forces. They expected to take a week to conquer the city, then said three days, then did it in one day due to Ukraine fleeing/withdrawing/relocating, and had mostly already fled back over the river. That was well over a day ago. I'm curious how on time the report sources are for Sky News.

This is awful for everyone. The US/UK are happy to fight Russia in this proxy war down to the very last Ukrainian.
The volunteer units are giving up in their droves. Commanders instructed by NATO can't get the units to fight. The units have no training, no weapons and no vehicles. These are normal men who value their lives and want to return to their families. They are realising that the interests of those in Kyiv don't align with their own lives.

The Kherson region is being shelled and suffering missile attacks on a daily basis from the Ukrainians. The attacks are on civilian homes, there is nothing of military significance there. This shell and missile attacks are going on for 8 years, since the Maiden Coup overthrew the elected government of Ukraine. Patrick Lancaster posted a video yesterday that showed two neighbouring homes that suffered a missile attack. The missile was loaded with cluster munition. In the video in one yard there are the bodies of a mother and father killed by the missile, right next door a man's wife lies in the yard dead. Why isn't corporate media showing these reports!!!

They're being pushed back, and unfortunately I don't see how the Ukrainians will be able to hold on to any of the remainig Donbas cities this way. The Russians are targeting them one by one with a concentration of resources, so the Ukrainian defenders will be outnumbered and surrounded each time unless they can boost their numbers and hardware significantly in each city without neglecting the other fronts or only defend the large cities with prepared defensive lines and underground dugouts/bunkers around them.

Which bunker the Ukrainian can hide in Severodonetsk this time?
Its much harder to attack then defend. I suspect the Kherson offensive to cause a lot of casualties for Ukraine and they are banking on the US Weapons arriving. If they dont get any weapons, this offensive on Kherson could be the turning point
The weapons are coming, it's takes a bit to get the conveyor going, and once it gets going it'll keep going as the west has quite a bit of resources.
The Russians have forgotten how they beat back the Germans with lend-lease from the USA. Without lend-lease support from the USA and its Allies, Russia is going to run out of gear soon.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Wellington was "never more masterly than in retreat".
It is very, very difficult for many people to grasp that an orderly retreat isn't necessarily a defeat. It can be a strategic withdrawal. To preserve communications, or supplies, or necessary infrastructure, or lives, a reordering of the lines of battle may be the best action.
Ukraine is still trading ground for time. But putting the river between them and the invaders may be their best bet. They don't want to trade lives for time. They need to hold where they can until the new heavy weaponry arrives in large numbers. Some is trickling in. But not enough.
Russian withdrew from Kyiv and Khakov when they realized they will lose most troops in the stalemete than the ukranians. In Severodonetsk the ukranians Nd fighting an orderly retreat which makes any victory a pyrrical one

@@spencerhopkinson9874 Ukraine has already won. It won the instant Zelenskyy's "I don't need a ride. I need ammunition." went viral.
There are two aspects to this war. One is the physical fighting. The other is global judgement. Ukraine has already won the latter.
There were three blocs, and two outliers, of response to Russia's invasion. The vast majority of western countries condemed. A very few already considered 'rogue' countries supported. India and China chose neutrality. And the African countries were uninterested. Now those African countries are facing dire straits because Putin is blockading grain shipments. This is not endearing Russia to countries foreseeing famine.
All in all, Russia has comprehensively lost the global factor.
As to the physical fighting. Ukraine has already won there. The utmost Russia can gain is the Donbas. They already occupied a large section since 2014. Thousands of lives, billions in infrastructure destruction, and trillions in military costs have been expended. The factories and land which, arguably, would have made future profits for Russia are destroyed. The port of Mariupol is the only inarguable benefit. And even that will need money poured into it to bring it into proper operational readiness.
As I stated, Ukraine has already won.

For the past two weeks, all I've heard is how Russia is gaining ground. Unless Ukraine can pull some miracle, it looks like they are going to lose the Donbas. And once that falls, Russia will move on to even more territory.
They keep asking something new like howitzers or MLRs but soon they will ask for nukes
I think the idea behind Ukraine's strategy is that Russia can't A) Hold the territory and B) Take the losses to gain ground in the long term
Ukraine is clearly the weaker party so they have to rely on attrition or unconventional warfare to really bend the Russians.
Russia is gaining ground, but if they keep the current rate it will take them until the end of the summer to take all the Donbass, and this is being optimistic for the Russians. And the Russians are also suffering heavy casualties, so if this keeps up, taking the Donbass by the end of the summer will leave them to depleted to launch a major offensive afterwards
It sucks but i wouldn't give up hope ... Russia is gaining ground but the cost to gain only a few KMs a day is unsustainable ... and the battle of the Donbas was supposed to be a big encircle out of Iyzum but instead the Russians keep downgrading their objectives to smaller and smaller pincers
@@alexandrejosedacostaneto381 the famed “culmination point” may be coming again.

Severodonetsk cannot into "another Mariupol" because there are no catacombs in the industrial area of Severodonetsk. The Ukrainian Military has to defend on ground level against advancing troops of LPR and Russia. Ukraine has already retreated into the industrial area of the city. What could resemble the siege of Mariupol is an encirclement of 15k Ukrainian troops in the agglomeration of the cities Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, Siversk, Zolote. If pro-Russian troops manage to do that, they can starve the Ukrainian troops and force them to surrender.
Around Kharkov, the Ukrainian counter offensive failed and Ukrainian troops withdrew to positions they had before the begin of their counter offensive. Near Kherson, the Ukrainian counter offensive also failed and Ukraine lost 200 KIA, 300 wounded and 70 PoWs.
This guy is a military genius.......(sarcasm) There were no battles around Kharkhiv. The Russians were threatening to storm the city holding Ukrainian armies in place while the Russians went about encircling the thousands of Ukrainians in Severodonetsk.
Wtf... Severodonetsk is relatively small city with 100.000 pops before the war, 15.000 now. And Mariupol was fortified for years. Two or three days, lads ..

Way slower and costlier than projected. That itself is the failure
Russians haven't captured Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mikolaiyv, or Odessa. Regime change ("denazification") is out of their reach; Novorossiya is out of their reach; capturing Donetsk seems more and more unlikely as time goes on.
Popasna was a town of, what, some 20,000 people? Some 10 kilometers away from the LNR border? Claiming its capture as a significant victory for Russia's military at this point is simply _pathetic._

@@beardedclam1673 LOL. Actually Zelensky admitted to losing over one hundred KIA per day, which means four hundred casualties each and every day. On the Tank's side of life in a slaughterhouse it would seem that the Russian Military has more than adequately supplied the Ukrainians with all the Tanks and IFVs they will ever need.
@@schlirf zelensky said 100 a day and the numbers likely higher than thay
@YallNuts Think its fairly safe to say that casualties, which is classed as killed, wounded, or captured for both sides will be quite similar.
Surrender.
Save lives.
The analysis is outdated.The Russian forces almost reclaimed Severodonetsk and already made strong moves towards Lisichansk.The Ukrainian forces got strong beating from the Russian forces in the Mykolaiv outskirts.More than 300 dead ukranian soldiers were killed in that area.
This guy is as much an expert as I am a dish-washer.
He is a Professor of Defence Studies, what are your qualifications?

@@annebritraaen2237 oooooooh, edgy. Get back to the dishes Karen
Sorry to disappoint Prof Clarke, the Russians are back on the offensive in Kharkiv and have pushed the Ukrainians back to the outskirts of the city.
Spot on
This is not so
Ok, Putin liar
I trust putin more than e.u and Democrats
@@boink800 so says an Elensky bootlicker.
No way, they don t have miles of tunnels to hide like they had in Mariupol.
they will also not be surrounded, the ukrainians have defensive positions behind severodonetsk
It's an industrial city with a HUGE chemical plant - Azot. There might very well be 'miles of tunnels' in there
They can't cross river they are trapped.
@@julianeskoromna5305 area is not that big, and there are no civilians as human shield this time. They will be crushed this time if they hide in tunnel.
@@warefareinnutshell5330 they have 1 bridge left open for evacuation of civilians, but it will probably be blown up if the Ukrainians retreat.
Idk it would make sense for them to pull back beyond the river and destroy the bridges as they leave and focus more on holding Lysychansk, being a solider there in Severodonersk with a river to my back while the Russian advance is on multiple fronts would force a lot of anxiety in the defenders imo. Last I heard from people on the ground and from footage is that the Russians control the Majority of the city, there isn't anything near the same sort of defensive networks in place as there was in Mariupol.
*Can someone explain why and what for the Ukrainian army tried to attack Kherson? It was another DISASTER with the killing of a great number of Ukrainian soldiers.*
😂u won’t find that anywhere in the MSM but it was more of a disaster than the failed river crossing by the Russians. I’m quite sure they’ll have to leave the status quo of Kherson as it is n accept that it’s in Russian control
It was a distraction to pull Russian troops from other fronts but Russians are masters of this tactic so they read that well
Why did they attack? Because there are Ukranians in Kherson - because that's there homeland.
The world is facing the problem because of NATO. Russia vs Ukraine conflict would have been avoided if NATO has not taken any sides.
The immaturity of NATO and poor quality of NATO/US leadership are the main cause of this conflict/special military operation.
Honestly, when NATO and its leaders came to know of this conflict they should have taken a wise decision as Ukraine cannot be part of NATO with an existing conflict with its neighboring country. They should have acted unbiased and should have showed their neutrality and leadership skills. Rather, they took sides and did everything to fuel the fire.
Very cheap NATO leaders, selfishness and ego of third parties are fueling and firing Ukraine Russia conflicts. If the third party has not taken sides and kept the NATO membership on hold then there shouldn't be a chance of weapons dealing this situation, rather both the countries would have been left to talk and decide the fate.
Very worst NATO/US leadership's. They are just playing the game on other soil and killing the country and its people. We do not need a clever leader now, but just inneed of a leader with some basic common sense to be neutral to dissolve this conflict for the sake of humanity. Otherwise, the third parties/NATO/US will keep enjoying the scene and the actual impacted two parties will suffer in one way or other.
At least Ukraine should have shown some maturity, thinking of its own capabilities in deciding for the sake of its own people and country. Only a right, capable and potential leader can take independent decisions and can find out other possible ways to deal the situation. But the present Ukraine leader became a doll dancing for NATO/US parties and became the best example of worst leadership thoughts and put the country on fire. Immaturity and stupidity is driving the show now.
Very Sad for Ukraine!!
Very Bad on NATO/US parties!!
Very timely move by Russia!!
Finally, I really LOVE all the countries being neutral!!...
LOVE IT! The Snapshots of this guy's absolutely wrong predictions continue! Best comedy show on the internet! SKY NEWS 4 LYFE
What about the Crimea respect
Now he is describing the fact!
This 🤡is a better comedian than Zelensky
Far away from your cave troll. Go back.
The people have been evacuated so it's nothing remotely like Mariupol.
The first balanced analysis from the MSM I've seen since the invasion began. The cracks in the Kiev Ukrainian narrative are appearing on a daily basis now.
This man reminds me a lot of Creed from The Office, lol, but his analysis and explanations are always super interesting to listen to
Ukraine has no chance in this areas, they are native Russian speakers and have dropped their loyalty to Ukraine since 2014 when the US backed coup led to civil war.
Russia has important local support
Yeah that’s why it’s taken them this long to take areas of their neighbor sharing a huge border with them. Lmao.
There was no US-backed coup. Stop spouting this bullsh*t. Yanukovych was Putin's puppet in Kiev. The Ukrainian people en mass protested Yanukovych for 4 months straight to her rid of him after he went against them by signing onto that stupid CIS-Eurasian economic union. Ukrainians wanted to trade with Eurozone and grow their economy like Poland.
If Ukraine's economy had been allowed to progress like Poland's, it would be bigger than Russia's. That's what Putin can't allow.
Yeah, no.. 60% might be Rusisian speakers but 90% prefer to be part of Ukraine, not Russia.
Ukraine now has much better equipment however it will be tough for the Ukraine's as Russia keeps sending troops and equipment. Ukraine is being used by the West for multiple reasons. Not the narrative we hear on main stream media
yes Ukraine now has much better equipment but regular army is destroyed,mobilized civilians cant do much against real Russian army
False. Russia is the illegal invader. Ukraine is fighting for their freedom. The West is supporting Ukraine's justified defense.
These are objective facts, and what the media is saying.

Ukraine is losing up to 100 soldiers every day, Zelensky says.
The situation in the east [of Ukraine] is very difficult. We are losing 60 to 100 soldiers every day and something like 500 wounded in combat,” Zelensky said.
Support Ukraine.
Why are we meant to be sheep?
