Ukraine's Vovchansk: The largest city currently in the focus of the Russian assault | DW News

- We begin The Day with a change in plans. In an effort to sustain international support for his country's battle against Russia, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy had planned to visit Spain and Portugal this week.
Instead he spent the day in the city of Kharkiv, visiting wounded soldiers and meeting military commanders. Ukrainian forces have been locked in bitter fighting against Russian troops northeast of Kharkiv since the launch of a surprise offensive last week.
Ukraine says the situation on the front line has been largely secured. But Russian troops have seized a few kilometers of territory on the Ukrainian side of the border. DW's Max Zander has been to Vovchansk - the largest city currently in the focus of the Russian assault.

Lets be clear here people, Vovchansk holds no strategic value.
It actually is a big strategic town for the logistics. There is a main road that connects Belgorod with the Donbass. This will help the Russian to resupply their units from 2 different points.
@@viajandoando362I was (obviously) being ironic
everytown and city russia capture has no significant value by the west. but those not yet occupied has a significant value. once they are occupied there is no value in it
Not anymore apparently….
@@trqster Well, at least I got your joke! It was spot on..
4:43 Even the US government knows that Toyota pickup trucks are better equipment to use in a war than Ford 😅
Ford is complete garbage
🤣🤣.
not better but cheaper
@@TulaniMahlakahlaka Way better and cheaper, that's a fact. Toyota reliability is unmatched 😂
That's an armored Beast
Oh so Vovchansk is a city now, I thought you guys said it was a village??😂
And Kyiv is a proper city 😂😂😂😂. These media outlets 🤡👍
Oh so this is a war now, I thought you guys said it was a special military operation. Oh so this is about land grab, I thought you guys said it was not about land.
@@zhangyiping100 , Who's grabbing Who's land buddy⁉️😂😂😂. Explain yourself 🤔🤔🤔
@@trakomane55 I wonder how much do you get paid to be a Russian bot?
@@zhangyiping100 twenty bananas a day, plus a pint of vodka
When U.S. interests are more important than Ukrainian lives.
😢😢
When Putin's greed is more important than both Ukrainian and Russian lives.
It's sad
@@zhangyiping100 Ok. Go on. When a super power says No. you better obey. That is how the world works. That is why US can just bomd Iraq and take over the oil. Dont mess with super powers. It is not a logic. It is a fact
@@zhangyiping100Europeans all go to the frontlines instead of hidind cowering behind Ukraine. Ukraineans are dying to protect Nafo's border not Ukraine's lol,🤡
Compare Marina with other analysts from the UK- she is bringing sanity to this program.
Nobody can bring sanity to DWNews.
I only listen to Maria Zakharova
Why is she allowed to speak? Ukraine is winning. Just a little bit more money.
Marina Miron is fluent in Spanish, German, and Russian, nearly fluent in Ukrainian, and reads Italian, Arabic, Hebrew, and Turkish. She is also proficient in teaching Quantitative Methods, cyber issues, and artificial intelligence (AI), and is comfortable with coding using TurboPascal and Fortran, and using IMB SPSS (with Python) and NVIVO.
She is a born again
“WE ARE WINNING!” 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
- Napoleon movie 😂
Powdered nose says that the "situation is under control"...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because we have more men, more air defense, more tanks, more equipment and more missiles .
Washing machines and shovels still fighting Nato weapons?
Answer: NO.
False. And New York and London too, as far as international influenced is concerned.
Mariopol, Bakhmut and marinka fell when ukraine was still getting aid @@yetao5801
Marina is gem. There is truly not many analysts with neutral objective analysis, but she is one of them.
Its a shocker they keep bringing her back considering she speaks the truth
Actually she has been doing this the whole time. Of course the fan boys couldn't be bothered by the truth and facts and reality and stuff.
I only listen to Maria Zakharova
this woman is so good at explaining
This is the only analyst that's always objective and logical
The answer is no.
Next question,which one is the next city to be taken by Russia?
Marina is always close to the mark with her analysis! She is the only non-bias and most accurate with no BS military advisor on here.
Why is it that it is mostly the pro-Russian side that agrees with her?
At this time Russia is winning that may change in the future depends on if they can get the $330 billion in Russian assets. The $60 billion was a drop in the bucket. The $330b might give Ukraine at the very least bargaining power in a negotiated settlement. We’ll have to see
@@willthecat163 why don't the pro Ukraine side agree with her?
@@willthecat163the truth is all about pro Russia that is why the war is not going to work out for Ukraine because they neglected important factors and moving straight to the part of entertaining western public.,..with your clear mind tell one weapon of war America has that Russia don't have similar or counter of that particular weapon .....so if all American weapons is going to be used in striking Russia federation , what will Russia do at that point, ok if in 2 years Ukraine has started running out of men and material what will happen in next 2 years if this conflict should continue with this high intensity. That how USSR defeated Germany, Russia is always great fighter despite millions of casualties Ukraine is counting for Russia they will still loses the war
@@willthecat163 not pro-russian but realistic
The front is so secured Zelensky you’re going towards Poland
Short answer: No
Long Answer: Absolutely not
No. But if Russia keeps up the current pace. It will take like 25 years to conquer the entire country. they move like 20 miles a year way to slow to conquer it all. And same with ukraine, they wont win either. Ukraine doesn't have enough, and Russia won't give enough
@@Deltasquadformingup russia doesnt want to conquer all of ukraine,they want ukraine to be neutral and a buffer zone between western weapons and russian soil.russians will keep the territory's it already annexed,if ukraine messes up,it will be more across the Dnieper westwards...
@@Deltasquadformingup
So it's a stalemate. But the situation can change.
Russia's economy is an X factor.
Whether they can strike at Russia might change.
Whether allies will get involved is too.
@@DeltasquadformingupWho told you that they want all of Ukraine? Where do you get your information from?
😂
Blinken is literally tone deaf.
Politicians love wars but soldiers love peace.
Blinkens going to Ukraine to show support, what are you doing? 😮
That soldier is in his 60s. Wtf
Makes more sense to me than an 18 yr old
They are winning after all
@@realtalk5329 You clearly never served; by 30, your knees and back are in pain from rucks and marches if you joined at 18. There's a reason why there is a cutoff age to joining, usually 35-40 at max. Regular CIVILIANS are messed up by 60 just from age alone, but you think they are more suitable in combat? lol
Probably a volunteer who joined the Ukrainian military. If that’s not a volunteer I think Ukraine really is screwing up on their conscription or they are lying about casualties
In essence - the German leopards are burning and the Russians are advancing.
Those people may wait for the Russians, why force them out?
It makes for good TV ratings to generate international uproar and ultimately garner more support for Ukraine.
Russian soldiers not harming ukri civilians.
@@hokavistark7671 Согласен,там большая часть жителей ждут российские войска с нетерпением.Они это показывают для пропагандисткой картинки!!!Привет из России!!!
That's exactly why they "evacuate" them
It is already Volchansk.
and before it was vovchans'k. there is always a ' between s and k in Ukrainian. Western media don't even spell it in the Ukrainian way.
She told the truth
Yep...
They lost their trust.
after blinken's guitar performance in kiev they may hold it 🤫
:D
😂😂😂
Entertaining clowns come from everywhere, from Ukraina to the US
He may be “rocking in the free world “ but a generation of Ukrainians are being killed.
He was there to entertain people😅
When Titanic was sinking there was band playing for distress people😅
Definitely not
After what DW sold us as the truth since the war started, who is still believing this channel is source of truth and balanced informations?
I'm here to see what the propagandists are saying.
Tbh, i have never believed that.
Every news outlet has an agenda.
i come here to make a good idea of was is not hapenning
Yep if people don't get it now, they'll never get it.
They guess like everyone else of course, that is war, but you'd be hard-pressed to find more committed, independent journalism anywhere than at DW. They are doing an excellent job in providing us with the best factual on the ground view there is. That being said I would prefer a little less guessing but the thing is people don't click a video titled. "Evacuating people in Ukraine but we don't really know where this is going"
Loser is no chooser. Ukraine is running out of time for peace settlement.
use past perfect tense
They haven't been offered a peace agreement except surrender.
And yet they fight. Imagine that. They fight for their country and for what is right.
@@Deea88they are fighting for USA
They are fighting for American interests@@Deea88
uhm nope
Blinken was in ukraine to hold a concert hence now both ukraine and Russian war correspondents have just confirmed that Volchansk is already under Russian hands.
Can Zelensky visit the dead soldiers or bring back their lives?
Can Vladimir Putler?

Zelenskiy elected term ends on the 20th of May!
Anthony Blinken has publicly stated that to save democracy Ukraine must suspend democracy.
Let’s hope not😂
@@lettheflamestakeover7374 oh.. it does. The government is officially unconstitutional as of May 21st.

I mean TH-cam. DW is great
RU flag shown today over Vovchansk hospital; by tomorrow the whole place will be liberated.
Denazified.
Look at those people running.
That's not liberation. An invader coming to take over is literally the opposite of liberation.
Is that suppose to be ironic too, or just being an A-hole
you mean like Mariupol! Toatally kaputt!
‘Who is going to finance all this?’ Easy: American workers without healthcare or maternity leave.
You are wrong there!!!
The world's gone mad
No. Next question?
6:24 Vovchansk is divided by the Vovcha river, not by the Siverskyi Donets.
waiting for the Ukraine deluded copers to still say they're winning
Reality is becoming harder to deny. People blindly supporting Ukraine are commenting less and less.
even the largest copers have realised the truth.
Russia:
is trying to take (that is, turn into ruins) one small town with a population of 17 thousand, located 4 kilometers from its borders.
Russian curs in the comments:
NATO and Ukraine have fallen. It's over. We will have lunch in St. Petersburg and dinner in Paris. Zelensky, give up. The Russian bear has woken up!
@@jesusojeda7850the largest copers are now only watching Denys and RFU , youtubrs that reports copium content in Ukraine😂
its a town on the Russian border... pretty sad Russia hasn't taken it sooner its been 2 years.... pathetic
😂Let's be honest here, the reason these civilians don't want to evacuate is because they're waiting for the Ruskis to liberate them. They see themselves as Ruskis. I mean listen to them speak Russian
*russkie ☝🏻 or russians
Да. Все говорят в этой части Украины только по русски
Don’t bring 200 billion dollars to a Russian shovel fight🤣🤣🤣🤣
Zelenki says under control its a lie
every place Zelensky has visited so far has fallen under Russian occupation... if he wants to save Ukraine i think he needs to leave Ukraine altogether!
Tell navaly he answers that.
😂😂😂
I never forgot when he visited adviika the next week it falls
@@zallyzally2698😂
From Angola; Africa ; Huraaaaaaaaaaaaaah VIVA The INDISPUTABLE greatest and best WARRIORS of our world; with the most POWERFUL army on planet; Big Russia rules ⭐
If you read what putin's chief ideologist Aleksandr Dugin has to say about Africans, I doubt you'd be so supportive of russia. I cannot quote it here as that would violate TH-cam's rules, but you'll have a hard time finding worse from Germany in the 1930s-40s. I advise you to investigate what sort of regime the russian one really is, at least before cheering for them. They do not wish you any good.
The problem is that if air defense systems outside of Ukraine are used, they'll become valid targets for Russia- nobody wants that escalation.
Yes true. And also they are thousands of miles away from the frontline!
Ukraine will be able to, if they send Blinken to the front lines to plays guitar.
Ukraine is fighting how Russia wants them to fight. Waste troops on fortresses instead of withdrawing and preserving lives
I feel so sorry for the poor people of ukraine. they have been fooled by the west and pay the price now...
peace talks now! Biden (if he stil can) should speak with Putin.
Theses people are not "poor" they are warriors, unlike Europeand, Americans, and English. They have been defending their country and culture. In few moyn ALL reluctant might be exactly in the same situation, defending and being killed, Then you ALL will be "poor"
If you lose money to card tricks or tracking a ball , who is the fool? Everything is their own fault. But same
How can you have peace talks with a person who will just use the time of peace to re-arm, resupply and attack again, just like he did after taking Crimea? DO YOU really believe that will save the Ukrainian people when Putin wants to take ALL of Ukraine?
Zelenskyy is fully owned by NATO. He’s sending Ukrainians to death for NATO.
@@kolokowalsky772 well, you sound like someone who has never seen a war up close...
And the Titanic orchestra keeps dreaming of a victory against Russia.
Beggar Zelensky is losing badly
Beggar zelensky, Ukraine and his people!
Peace to Ukraina no NATO 🎉
Too late.
I am all for helping people leave but not forcing them to leave..
No side should do that
They have to leave for their safety, people, particularly older people are very stubborn.
@@amateur_football9751 for their " safety" they have all right to stay even if woudl be dangerous
you can inform about the danger but that about it, maybe should look up the danger of you loved american football an the life threating injury can give in long term, mybe we should ban that for peole "saftey" people do things that are dangerous all the time is their chooice to make if want this supposedly "free world"
@@amateur_football9751 older people just do not care. Those old folks who still live there basically have a choice - miserably live rest of their life (few years that left) in some govt nursing home, or stay where they are at their own plot of land in their own home.
When you are old you just dont want to run to die tired.
Ukraine should never have launched their counteroffensive last year. Everyone could see they weren't ready without proper air support. It was a turning point in this war where they suffered unnecessary losses in material and soldiers.
Guys. Guys! But you told us over a year ago that Russians are running out of ammo! So??? Did you lie back then?
@@planetguam8475what happened in Avdiivka?😅😂🤣😆
@@planetguam8475 your delusions are on a trump level..🤣😆
@@planetguam8475 PUtin did not say that. it was MSM that said it.
Yup Putin made a miscalculation on Ukrainian patriotism. Many Brits didn’t think Americans would fight in the revolution my how we miscalculated
@@planetguam8475sorry buddy, the 3 day myth was started by the USA government and the media and that’s why you can’t find Putin saying that anywhere. Try to keep up….
Russia haven't advanced that deeply? Last time I remember when Ukraine had an offensive they advanced 55 meters in months. Come one.
West policies
More than 60℅ of volschank has been captured, and the real bad news is the kraken unit have surender also as usual mobilized personel.
When your benefactor's interests are different from yours…
The power of shovels, incredible!
Short answer: nope.
Long answer: absolutely not.
that doesn't seem like sniper round on that bulletproof windows. Pretty sure that's from rifle round or bellow, likely subsonic small bullet.
Military aid, how long it will last?… then wait for military aid again..
We're on a 6 month loop...
DW told us we are winning 😂
NO… Zelensky should step down
Zelenski is responsible
for? defending the country? yes

Remember at the start of the war, everyone thought Ukraine would fall within weeks.
They lie to you
But then Yankees decided to go to the last Ukrainian
Probably not…how in the world did Ukraine not build defenses when they’ve known about this attack for months…pure incompetence
It's corruption and probably because many are pro Russian
There's NO WAY I wouldn't have taken my dog. Not a chance on this earth.

excellent guest, need more sensible voices like this in mainstream discourse re ukraine
Good analysis
Didnt watch this video: my answer: NO.
My easy argument: Russia population, military sophistication, and economy.
You got to invite frank from king's college, he will paint a very good picture, makes you feel much better.
LOL
Its too early to tell but everything is under control... says it all
The first honest analys
You are right. You so good
She is always true speaker 😍😍😍
Why are you asking that lady..,?is she there at the front?
"NO"...simple answer.
Is there anybody can tell those residents why they want to joint NATO and live happily forever 😢😮😢
How can you leave your shephard dog behind. Thats crazy
Someone in these comments asked who's invading whose land. A good question.
Those lands were immemorially a part of Russia until LENIN and STALIN annexed them to the Russian borderlands (ukraina) to create a new Soviet Republic called the Ukraine. Their original name was Novorossiya, i.e. the New Russia. And they're now returning home.
I think Russia has the strongest Shovels and the best Washingmachines.
The most trolls for sure.
Sumy is actually more problematic than Kharkiv. There are very dense forests, which the Russians can use to mask their movements. Thatshow they marched through the Ukrianian positions in Kharkiv as well, but in Sumy they could actually do it 50 km deep or even more.
Thank goodness she says the truth today
Does these evacuees know that NATO has destroyed their country?
I don't think they care whodunnit at this point, if I lost my home I'd be pissed, scared and blaming everyone at the same time.
Lol @ how hard her neck straight up twitched when u asked her how close Ukraine was to suffering a major defeat.
No, no they won't.
Ukraine special forces in Sudan 🇸🇩,wtf?why in Africa not in Ukraine?
The reason was because Serensky still did not understand security strategy, so he planned the Tik Tok style battle, focusing on creating content rather than fighting with peace goals. This is different from Putin who is a real strategic planner. Looking at Mikey's photos, he often portrays himself as a warrior wearing a green army shirt, but Putin still wears his usual formula of stillness and stability. There are many different levels.
I think this is right😂
At least Zlnsky and Nato did win in social app…in some aspect…
Many ppl in my country still bliv UKR would win…
And Russ would split apart…😂
You have the caption backwards when you open with Putin.
So DW was meant for US?? 😮 I've been watching you guys for a long time from Turkiye 😁 There's something I wonder tho, if DW reporters can speak German. I saw one of you in Liam Neeson's movie, talking German in DW Deutsch
Kharkiv is the largest city currently in focus
Why on Earth did Ukraine attack Belgorad if the weren't prepared for a counter attack?
They could have just kept the front quiet.
I think its fair for them…cuz their country got attck…
But its not…its make Russ ppl angry at them more😂
I always think UkR would win…
But after watch some clip from Russ and other western channel…😂
I see that its Russ who is the winner…😮
This is great GW, where did you find this woman ,war analyst??
I suggest you buy her Eastern Europe cook book, she would probably do better in the kitchen
Must listen to John Meisheimer, Scott Ritter, Doug Macgregor, col. Davis, Jeffrey Sachs
One of the best solution of conflict is the negotiations by mediator but unfortunately there is no sovereign state to calm down the conflict they should adopt constructivism instead of realism
This war was avoidable
SIR what happened to the money and weapon thay had before
