- The Russian army on Monday struck more than 30 towns and villages in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region after launching a surprise ground offensive over the border last week.
“They are shelling the villages, firing everything they can,” Sergiy Kryvetchenko, deputy head of the Ukrainian military administration in the village of Lyptsi, told AFP.
“The KABs (guided aerial bombs) are flying. The artillery is flying. Drones. Everything,” he said.
The Ukrainian army acknowledged Russia was “achieving tactical success” after the ground assault, which sparked the evacuation of almost 6,000 people.
Russia’s defence ministry said its troops had “improved the tactical position and dealt a blow to [Ukrainian] manpower” around border villages, including Lyptsi, and the town of Vovchansk.

How can this be a surprise after 2 attacks by RDK on Belgorod, Putin said that he will create a buffer zone!
The war was over in May 2022 when the sanctions failed.
600 thousand ukranians died for nothing since. Disgraceful.

‘A surprise offensive’ which was announced a week ago 🙄
Ukraine has been sent about 5x Russias military budget,
But not much of it makes to the battlefield 🤑
Maybe because Russia has been stockpiling weapons for decades? Maybe because it takes time to send equipment to troops who also need to be trained for that equipment? I'm sure even less of Russia's military budget actually ends up being used for weapons (corruption).

Translation: we are losing big time.

Exactly, along with the rest of the Western media it has been gaslighting the population as to the reality of the situation knowing all the time that Ukraine could never win against Russia. The media is criminal and the enemy of the people.
everything Russia does is tactical; everything they do is STRATEGIC! It's painful to get lectured by bankrupt proxy puppets...
any Russian gain is symbolic, any 🤕ill-crane gain is strategic. 🤭

Russia has made many mistakes in this war. So has Putin. Don't act like everything they've done is a strategic achievement. Russia has embarrassed themselves in this war, Ukraine were not meant to stand and fight like this.
Russia is notoriously bad at tactics and battle logics.

This was only a “surprise” to the mainstream media.
Ukraine as this point just needs to take the L, all they do is lower the conscription age each time they are running out of troops.
So has Russia! They too use old men, boys, and prisoners.
@@owenstorey573 No. The age of conscripted was actually raised from 18-25 to 21-30. Do everyone a favour and refrain from commenting.
@@owenstorey573That's bs dude. There is no wartime mobilization in Russia at all. All those "old men" are volunteers, no one is caught on the streets, packed in the bus and sent to the front.

No surprise about it. This was known about some time ago.
does humanity need a war like this again and again???? so sorry to see the bad situation for these people!!!
Actually yes. As one culture fails it lashes out and as others rise to fill the void they set the stage for the next evolution and bring folks back together again with new understandings with one another. If such things never happened we'd all still be living under kings and tyrants. Or in the modern example oligarchs and megacorporations.
One could argue that this is essential for human progress and events like we are going through now come once a century on the regional scale and maybe only once a millenia on the global scale...
No only Europeans and Americans do this stuff ,these people who focus on causing and prolonging wars . Throughout history they’ve done this . Every major and bloody battle has genuinely been due to Europe . Funny and they have gal to call the rest of the world backwards and Barbaric😂
monkes with nuclear missiles
Basically what I see, Russia has 3 main goals for this offensive
1 - Speeding up the casualties and making Ukraine reinforce Kharkiv.
2 - Establishing a buffer zone for Belgorod.
3 - Potentially taking or getting close to Kharkiv, which is the most unlikely.
Agreed on all points. Ukraines weakness is its manpower issue above all others.. why not exploit this by exacerbating the problem as much as possible. This is a war winner.. however grim
Why are we saying Ukraine's problem is the manpower when they haven't even built any defences around kharkiv despite knowing it will get attacked months prior.
Russia has been gathering men there for 3 months. They knew it. How do we blame manpower in the face of such blatant incompetence???
Ukraine doesn't have man power issue, Zelensky said he lost only 31k soldiers😂!! And there will be a new law to bring the young one chilling in the west back
The goal Is Ukraine moving forced to Kharkiv, leaving Donbass areas unprotected
Fun fact: The territories that the RUAF gained in Kharkov regions is almost the same as Ukraine failed Counter-offensive.
Russia won at the start,
Ukraine had no chance.
Nonsense- Russia DIDNT win at the start THATS WHY we day 800 and something into a 10 day special operation. And Russia has now lost big time whatever happens on the battlefield- they have become a vassal state of China now
This is the Ukraine is winning the US and west are saying..😁😁😁

Russian President Vladimir Putin's proposal to appoint former Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov as new Defence Minister came as a surprise decision for Ukraine. Verkhovna Rada deputy from the Batkivshchyna party Oleksiy Kucherenko noted that "this looks tragic indeed.”
Ukrainian economist Alexey Kushch believes that Belousov's appointment comes as bad news for Kyiv. The expert suggested that this would lead to a sharp increase in the dynamics of the Russian military-industrial complex (MIC) and a growth in Russia's military production.
Kushch called Belousov the person who played an important role in creating "a model of Russian economic growth, deep structural transformations and adaptation to sanctions.”
Sounds like somebody wants more money
Not enough time to read the captions.
Scorched Earth policy means that the retreating force destroys pretty much everything that can help the attacker, starting from food supplies and ending with civilian infrastructure. So, the question is, is the term used appropriately and Ukraine really is demolishing its own cities/villages or was it just thrown as a big scary word?
Those villages are wrecked anyway as soon as your countrymen pass through. We have seen this so many times in this war. No need for your concern trolling
@@rmdomainer9042 those villages would be destroyed by both sides mindlessly using artillery when the place would become a battlefield.
Either way it makes zero sense to use scorched earth there, especially given that Ukraine was pretty successful at inflicting damage to Russia during guerilla warfare and fighting in urban areas.
Although, if they can blame the destruction on Russia then it does, indeed, makes sense. But it also raises a question of why not just wait until they enter the village, killing two birds with one stone?
It's the Telegraph. The likelihood is that they just don't know what it means.
So the war is still going after 2 stinky ah years…. :I
Don't sell your old washmachines. Send'em to Ukraine!!!😂😂😂
It wasn't surprise, Ukraine knew about it
Trouble is being tactical also.means don't give your cards away....media should not be announcing where when and if out of weapons. Why is the whole thing played in media creating advantage. Loose lips sink ships

My heartbreaks seeing this. The Ukrainians have put up an incredibly brave battle against overwhelming odds 💔
It is time for Ukraine to make a settlement before more land is lost
but Zelensky made an amendment to the constitution that prohibits peace negotiations with Putin. The difficulty is that the Russians recently re-elected Putin for another 6 years. So..🤷♀️
🇺🇸’s get butthurt over everything
They say all thw money sent to fortify the defences went to someones pocket.
This war is truly money down the drain.
Oh no thats not true .. the uks have plenty bayraktar
Do they?
Ukraine only admit the truth when it becomes completely undeniable. It astounds me how anyone can take their words with any confidence. And yet there are those that repeat their claims as though they are gospel.
Isn't this true for both?!
Ukraine and Nato to wave white flags
In war, it's more strategic to retreat and conserve your resources for the opportune moment, rather than squandering lives and resources in a futile battle. It's not as simple as Ukraine losing because they retreated from a city or a town; it's one of numerous tactical decisions one must make in war. The reason behind this is that Russia recently deployed thousands of new conscripts to these fronts, it puts a strain on Ukrainians limited manpower and resources.

According to the American Institute for the Study of War, the losses of the Ukrainian army in Avdeevka were 22 times greater than the losses of the Russian army. The Russian army destroyed the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers from a distance, using drones, artillery and aviation, so losses Russian army were minimal.

NATO is an actual Army, Russia has shown its nothing more than a third world army. No tanks left, no trained units left..... won't be long before the entire country has another revolution
Any chance this would motivate the Ukrainians to make the painful choice to increase conscription to restore the military to the point of being able to effectively use the (late) western aid ?
they need time to train new recruits. The question is, do the Ukrainians have the time?

The master strategists Putin and Shoigu again showed their brilliance by attacking into Ukraine, were just recently a massive defense line was constructed by Ukraine.
They didn't bring enough troops to do much. It's about a third of the number they used to capture andiivka. There's no way they'll breach the defensive lines, let alone capture Kharkiv.
This was just to spread Ukraine's lines thinner. Ukraine brought several veteran battalions to the North at the start of May so Russians got what they wanted.

Russians haven't penetrated the defensive lines. They've not even gotten to it yet. Even if they did, Russia hasn't deployed enough troops to breach the defensive lines. They didn't even bring enough troops to capture Kharkiv. There's less troops on that frontline than there was capturing Andiivka.
Why ask such a silly question
@@bakersmileyface the commander has literally been stepped down? They shouldn't of been able to capture the outside towns that sets them up for the bigger picture
@@Tom_3017 Nah the defensive lines were put further back. It's better this way for the Ukrainians.
If they let Russia capture the land, Ukrainians know and understand the terrain which is better for counter-attacking and fire support. But it also means that Ukrainians can destroy key infrastructure in their own land and Russians wouldn't already have built ways around it.
Whereas if the defensive lines were close to the border, Russia would have already prepared for their logistical hubs to get targeted.
The settlements Russians have captured hold little to no strategic significance.
Russians have met the defensive lines now though. In fact I'm reading something from the Russian MoD stating that they've captured a village behind the defensive lines. I don't see any evidence of that. But if they did then that's impressive and a big problem for Ukraine.
As for why Ukraine replaced the commander, I can't pretend to know. My guess is that the evacuation of civilians was a shambles and Russians advanced too quickly. Ukraine practically gave the land away which is very bad. They should've made Russia fight for those villages, even if Ukraine was making a fighting retreat.
Losing those villages and towns had no strategic importance, but losing them so quickly and so easily is a huge tactical failure for Ukraine.
