Russian Marines Ambush Ukraine In Kursk

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- As the Ukrainian advance into Kursk enters it's second week, we're seeing a change in how that battle is unfolding. Early on, Ukraine was facing mostly conscripts and border guards but recently, experienced units have been moved in to try to stop their advance. The 810th Guards Marine Brigade was one of those and in today's video we review their comments on the operation so far and look at two ambushes they say they've conducted.

mainstream commentetors give the impression that the Kursk offensive is a " walk on the park " for the ukranian army.Far from true, the ukranians are taking a lot of casualties and they are losing many vehicles, tanks, etc,etc in this offensive
And Russia keeps pushing hard in the main fronts, Kursk is a bloody bluff.

People also thought Russia will end the war in couple weeks. Let me remind u it still going and now Ukraine is invading Russia.
Only the Mongols if I remember.
Intelligence Comment..
I am from Russia. Ukrainian troops entered the territory of the Kursk region, this is true. This was really unexpected for us. Here in Russia we discussed possible negotiations with Ukraine at the end of this year, we wanted an end. Ukraine also discussed the beginning of negotiations, which lulled our vigilance. After Ukraine's invasion of the Kursk region, none of us wants to negotiate with them! We will continue. Ukraine's temporary media victory in a region where there were practically no our troops, only conscripts on the border. It was easy to attack in this area. But in Donbas, where our troops are, we continue to win, the next cities to fall are Toretsk and Pokrovsk. The lying media will not tell you about this. Also in the Kursk region, the Ukrainians have been stopped, now they are slowly being destroyed. Now in Russia, more and more people are voluntarily joining the military, meanwhile, in Ukraine, they are catching people on the streets and sending them to war. Find on youtube TCK in Ukraine.
So, you understand well what you've done to Ukraine for over 10 years, now that it's happening to you, prick. Is it any wonder the world hates russians now?
Shut up, russians do NOT have you tube...!!

Ukraine can't fight Russia symmetrically they learnt this lesson in Bakhmut, that's why sending more men to the east is a bad idea.
Putting more men in tree lines and defensive postions will only cause more casulties considering Russia has a plethora of firepower it uses to flatten a postion before launching a meat assualt.
A fighting retreat is the only sensible approach.
Sending troops were the enemy isn't is sensible as it's engaging in asymmetrical warfare, it's creating a dilmea not a problem for the Russian military either send Profesional troops to guard the border or be prepared to lose it.
If the east was that desperate, these units would of been sent there, so it's clear there is a plan and losing territory in the east is of no big concern.
@@timverrecchia1654 I don't know your source but the situation is more than desperate for Ukraine. The writing is on the wall and they know it, that's why they're trying to escalate the war, especially before Trump comes to power. This tactically suicidal operation in which their best units are thrown, is out of pure desperation. But this offensive has already bogged down, except some probing attacks here and there and the Ukrainians lack the manpower and equipment to hold the gained ground. And the Russians keep sending more and more new troops without redirecting old one's from the front and they'll keep pushing them all the way to Kharkov. Since Ukraine's best trained troops and big part of the western armour is in Russia they're getting hammered and are loosing more and more ground on the heavily fortified front.
@ra-ge my source is what Zelensky himself said, look it up.
Ukraine crossed into an area with minimal border defenses. Once the penetrated about 20 km's in they actually hit the first line of defense and that is where they are. They are able to sideways, but unable to penetrate any deeper.

Russian government has always been concentrating on grinding enemy forces, not holding the land at all costs. Once the enemy reserves are grinded, the territories will be returned. And then a good chance for the further push forward opens... Mariupol, Bakhmut, Avdeevka, etc.. The same story again and again.
Zelensky and us dont know these tactics they only know how to use planes😂
People who grew up on Call of Duty believe holding territory wins you victory points.
The RaZZian government is pretty much like a headless chicken since Zelensky destroyed Putler's dream of taking Kiev in 3 days...
Ukraine was only able to enter Kursk and gain ground quickly because it was lightly guarded. The reality is, those Ukrainian soldiers will not be coming back out. They dont have reinforcements, no more weapon supplies. It's aone way ticket. These ukrainian soldiers were gathered from various areas of the frontlines thinking it will force Russa to move forces too, but it did not. So now Russia holds the whole Donetsk region. The Kursk region is a vast territory, currently Ukraine only gained 3% of that region
lol, this is the funniest crap i have ever heard. You need to worry about the Russians. Ukraine has bunch of men and equipment in that area. the New York times reported, there are almost 300 Russian troops encircled over there.
@@yahnglee2027 lol. The only one you need to worry about is the ukrainians, who are defending Pokrovsk and Toretsk
@@yahnglee2027 300 russian troops encircled? Where? How much has the russian army on soldiers? Hmm? New York Times just write what Kiew is saying - and most of the part it is a lie. Kurst is a death trap for ukranian fighters. The Ukraine lost so much armored vehicles, tanks and and and (2 patriot radar stations + 5 batteries + 1 Iris-T). They lost so many troops and equipment ..... and are trapped right now - because the only way in and out is under russian view. A death road. Even some may pass, many got destroyed on their way for support. Therefore the Ukranians let their wounded dying on the field - because they lack of many things.
@@yahnglee2027 LOL, the mere mention of NY times mad me laugh hard 🤣
Why would ukrainians get out? They will just merge this land with ruski and poof ukraine is expanding hahahah
I’ve read analyses which indicate that Ukraine is just pushing until they meet resistance. And then push in other directions.
If this is true then this is probably why this happened. Ukraine just wants to meet enemy forces, and so they do not have time to move slowly into an area hunting down any possible enemy positions.
People need to switch to topographic map, then will realized how Ukraine with mobile units manage to go fast and bypass any obstacle and move forward. But now its will be difficulty because Ukraine all ready take low grounds, and mobile units can go of roads, now its going high grounds where Mobile units can not go of roads and need to use roads if they want to go much north or in Kursk town direction, and they are in danger to fall into ambushes if Russians block roads.
This is called "maneuver warfare".
I finished up corn harvest on a pretty steep and miserable sidehill in icy snowy conditions a few years back in my combine and was feeling pretty big and bad, and one of my wife's customer/friends (who gave us free firewood because we were a new family of 4 and they are just awesome like that and actually it helped him too because he had more lumber than he knew what to do with) who was of Colombian birth and properly Americanized made a remark that I had the closest taste to what he went through as a lad on much steeper and treacherous terrain, on equipment with far fewer safety features. "You could _feel_ the Devil himself biting your ahhsole!"
.... 🥶
It's called "Advance to Contact"
Russia and Ukraine use similar tactics to be honest
oh no))) 1200 square kilometers)))
They hide in the forests and scurry around in small groups; they cannot even gain a foothold anywhere and create a line of defense.
If in the first days they simply drove along beautiful roads as far as possible and took photos, it does not mean that they control this territory)
Ukrainian PoWs in Kursk were not told any real goal for their attacks.. one main target was apparently the Kursk NPP to use it as bargain for Zaporozhia NPP.. but mostly they said just to move into Kursk as much as possible and do pictures and videos for PR but nothing else.
Lol where you got this from? Kursk region now is buffer zone, that is why this opperation happened. Ukrainians know very well why they are there. Otherwise russia would start operation in Sumy just like in Kharkiv.
I agree all these are just for PR, taking "victorious" fight, but not telling anymore how these Ukrainian soldiers are being killed now or got captured.
@@mickeysimon3789To considerate it as a buffer zone you need to establish a stable force, with solid and confident supplying lines.
This is another Zekensk and NATOi BS.
@@AlfaOmega-mz7hw Exactly. A buffer zone would be similar to what Russia has done with the newly incorporated regions of what is now Southwest Russia; formerly Eastern Ukraine, massive military presence with logistics capable of supplying ammunition, food, medics and also defensive fortifications. Ukraine has nothing of this in Kersk. All Ukraine has are an outstretched force that is scattered throughout a land mass without any air support and logistics, let alone medical evacuation capabilities for the dead and wounded. Kersk is a graveyard for Ukraine.
@@mickeysimon3789 you do know the AFU are losing control of the Donbass more so over the summer as they have been overwhelmed by Russian ability to control the skies and deliver Artillery all day everyday.
Why any of this is funny to you proves you are a Russia phob we European citizens do not agree with our governments support for the regime in Kiev and hope zelensky is arrested for crimes against civilian Russian Ukrainians and then his own citizens who he has sent to death in the meat grinder
The problem with Ukraine's Kursk adventure is that the territory they have captured isnt as strategically important as what they are giving up. The Donetsk region was 60% of Ukraine's industry; they are loosing all of it. For what? In loosing Donestsk tit becomes more likely that areas further to the south such as Zaporizhzhia. Its not even a gamble, they dont have anything to gain to compensate for what they are giving up.
Russian Marines are no joke and should not be underestimated.
They're Russians. Lousy looters and drunks.
As long as general doesn't criticise Russian army and go to jail
The Russian and Ukrainian Marines are comparable to the US Army Rangers. They are significantly more well trained and equipped than the majority of any other force.
They're Marines, of course lol.
@@subjectc7505 well in the US the opposite is true. They have a much smaller budget and only their SOF guys have the most advanced equipment available
You speak of the electronic warfare aspect of warfare and how crazy it is. I was watching a segment from the Russian frontline the other day. It's was shot in a secret command centre. In the room were three higher-ranking soldiers, two of whom were seated at a long table upon which were laptops and cell phones - various gadgets - and in front of them were two large monitors displaying drone camera footage taken high above a grove of threes in which Ukrainian artillery, infantry and a few vehicles were hiding. What was crazy was that one of these two guys in the command centre had a radio in his hand and was calmly speaking over it to someone on the line who was obviously in command of troops engaging these target in the trees, and it was like watching a guy play one of the highest-stakes voice-operated video games in the world. The guy on the line would radio in and submit what sounded like a request of sorts, and the soldier watching the monitor from the table would tell him to fire. Then the three in the room would watch the monitors for the results. As a non-military guy, I didn't know what I was looking at on the monitors, but then would come the blasts and the black smoke indicating burning fuel. It's a lot easier to see those guns and vehicles when there's smoke rising out of them.
It just blew my mind how detached it all seemed in that room. It really was like watching people play a war game on those monitors, albeit a pretty slow one, though I doubt it was slow for the guys being shelled, or the guys doing the shelling.
I know some people are into this "forever wars" thing. Others just see it as a sort of immutable reality that has to be gotten used to and/or or suffered. Personally, I wish the treaty that was signed before Boris Johnson intervened on the behalf of his sponsors had stuck. It would mean the world to me to see this thing brought to an end in a signed peace before I die, and I'd rather die of old age or at best, rescuing a baby from a burning house, than because of nuclear fallout.
Every Russian citizen I've heard interviewed on the subject seems to feel the same way, that peace would've been so easy, and that this is all just a terrible shame.
This video was cool. The information was presented very responsibly. There were a few bits of footage that gave away the identities of some of the soldiers in that vehicle, which isn't really the way things are supposed to be done, but I don't know who's to shoulder the blame for that. I liked it. Thank you.
Peace would have been easy? Not if Ukrainians give a shit about their geographical continuity.
The tit for tat proxy wars will continue
And there are people that still believe in the superpower of the Russians shovels, and the dishmachine chips.
NATO is being humiliated.
It sounds like you are referring to Patrick Lancaster recently, whilst reporting on the front lines in Ukraine from a 🇷🇺 command post.
@@SincereSentinel You're absolutely right. It was a real eye-opener for me. I'm not saying I understood how war was fought before drones and satellites and high-res video feeds - I'm sure more traditional aspects of combat would amaze me as well - but what I saw there just seemed so... detached I suppose is an okay word.

Everything about Ukraine begins to make sense as soon as you admit that it's a death cult.
To secure continuous support after the election.
Off course no one gave a public statement, but likely there are multiple causes. First is that this operation was a serious blow inflicting many more casualties than reviving due to the surprise. Second, is distraction of the enemy from their main offensive down in Donbas. Third is bringing the war to the aggressors soil. When the fighting takes place in Ukraine Ukrainian city’s are being destroyed, this is the way to avoid that, and what’s more important to avoid Ukrainian civilian casualties. Maybe it is something else, but those three make most sense.
It WAR, which has always been about destroying the enemy and taking territory.

I keep wondering how much equipment Russia had trapped on the wrong side of the Seym River.
not much. the 810 is hiding in front of Kursk City. this guy is talking about companies and platoons like they are armies.
Probably not much and what is there is very old. Russia didn't defend the border strongly.
By the way, that didn't come to my mind, good question. I mean not just about the area to the South of Seym River but about the whole operation of Ukraine in Kursk. We didn't see much trophies shown by Ukraine (which they regularly does as they have a chance), so likely they didn't face much resistance, they didn't have that successful battles that they tells us nowadays. This also tells a lot about the situation and its perspective.
@@olegrudkovskyi7616 Just because they didn't broadcast it didn't mean they weren't winning fights.

You can see dead bodies in the video. one example is @8:48 is blurred. Not everything goes well or according to plan in war. Please try to have a level and non bias analysis of video evidence.
The crews never escaped, they ran away…..
Most of the footage that can be shown are on telegram and belive me...its nasty.

Kots also interviewed a Chechen Ahkmet officer who said his men were not taking prisoners in Kursk. They were killing all the “Ukrainian bastards” they captured. Which is standard for many Russian units throughout the war.
This interview was on Russian Media Monitor last week on Olga’s tv show.
This is horrible
Yeah, and the wonder why we don’t like them…
and ukranians havent tortured any captured russian prisoners of war....nooooooooo of course they havent.
Truth. Russia never does prisoner exchanges...except for the thousands of prisoners who've been exchanged.
@@nihilistzero8066 you have any evidence to suggest otherwise?
Successful ambushes are common during an exploitation phase when units are running willy nilly to gain undefended spaces and objectives. The Russian Marines just caught a light UA recon force in exploitation phase with its guard down, nothing special, the UA will tactically adjust now that they have determined the Russians MLR.
What’s the Ukraine objective?
This seems to be more of a maneuver warfare to nowhere instead of some clearly planned objectives .
They push where they can in every direction they can without clear goals
Light ? ua recon army with more then 15 vehicles ...buddy just follow this war it's fu**king massive size...
Yeah I notice both sides do it. Both will jump up and down about destroying a single tank, or ambush one column. So weird seeing both sides do desperately try to convince themselves they're winning.
@@user-cc3pi3ir2y you are judging against previous Russian assaults. But these have to be scattered, they're attacking into fortifications and massed artillery. You saw the damage when they used big numbers attacking Avdiivka! As a counter example of even larger units brought together.
This is different. There are no fortified lines, and these are mostly light vehicles. The number can be greater when they are just running down roads. I'm sure the average size will dwindle if Russian firepower further improves in the sector.
Yes because who uses a recon element of several platoons and dozens of vehicles?
Good channel tbh. Calm narration and good timing.
There was a speculation by ukranians that if their drones got tangled in EW, those positions where poorly defended.
That assumption was particularly true until few days ago, hence the rapid advance.
Russians had their teritorial defence forces and border patrols stationed in the area, but those forces were never even near a combat zone and had no combined warfare experience.
Due to the nature of this war, they couldn't deploy large amounts of regular army to Kursk in one go, they tried and got clapped hard. So now they infiltrate the area with smaller groups and do what he explained in the video.
It's still a mistake by the Russians to let ukraine go this far and they know it, so now we see the damage controll and stabilisation, before the attritional grinding of AFU starts.
Area was evacuated of civilians. They don't particularly care about the occupied land if ukraine keeps sending troops in they will trade some land and retreat to keep own losses low, and meanwhile prepare the lines to destroy anything that enters the area.
I have to give ukranians a medal for bravery and kudos on the fast offensive, but the slower they go forward, they should realise the fact that they need to stabilise the advance and let Russians try to break their defences and/or tacticaly retreat when necessary so they don't lose so much equipment and manpower.

"1200 square km captured" and then shows the captured area of 500-600 square km
Saw the Aftermath of another one of these on twitter, there were half a dozen fuel trucks some taken out others apparently abandoned, logistics could be a big problem for the Ukrainians
Thank you for searching out the truth and reporting it
FYI- US COMMENTATORS on you tube normally report on what the ukri nazis tell them. They are not military analysts per say.
Nice balanced, sensible analysis as always Preston...... thank you mate!!
To be fair the videos of a few vehicles being ambushed are always of small forces pushing far out from main grouping to find the enemy. It’s inevitable some of these will get ambushed badly. None of those instances are the Russians engaging the main forces.
EW is useful, but it has a lot of limitations. Range is limited.
Thanks for this Preston. Good analysis, providing balance to the big picture. As always, I look forward to your content
Ukrainian MP Maryana Bezugla: “Ukrainian Armed Forces units are being withdrawn from Donetsk Oblast, leaving entire strips of the front to their fate.”
"Our units are being withdrawn from there, leaving entire strips of the front to the mercy of fate, ammunition is not being added, the Russians are passing through empty fortifications. In such circumstances, the occupation of Pokrovsk is a matter of the near future, and Toretsk is living out its last days. It looks as if we are giving up Donetsk region," she wrote.
"Beyond Pokrovsk is the direct route to Pavlograd, where there are no fortifications at all, and then there is the Dnieper"
When the Russians get to the Dnieper River it will be the End of the War

It’s not funny it’s because it a big empty space and the shape of the border means they can likely capture a lot of unoccupied land with the least resistance. The purpose is of oírse to barter the 1000 kms of Russian land for say 10,000 kms of Ukrainian land. Not a great idea as Putin wouldn’t agree to that as it’s just a sign of weakness.

Western MSmedia - _'Ukraine takes 1,500 square miles of Kursk'_
Meanwhile - Russia occupies nearly 100,000 square miles of Ukraine ------------- Western Media -- sound of crickets.
ok dude....
Russia and its superior force was in Kiev and pushed out when they had superiority in all aspects
Russia with an army 7 to 8 times bigger with newer weapons were pushed to Eastern Ukraine
Russia has basically been held to a stalemate for 2.5 years by an army of taxi drivers, accountants, and teachers using donated weapons from 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
Russia has lost 1/3rd of its Black Sea Fleet from a country with essentially no navy
Russia has lost THOUSANDS of tanks via Walmart toy-technology to a point where they are now deploying Soviet stocks of T-64s and even ancient T-55s.

Well we can see that the West/Ukraine learned it's lesson from their first big offensive and didn't advertise their intentions all over the media for three months prior to getting things underway.
The 810th Brigade is actually Russian marines al, the way from the Far East. They are supposed to be more capable, and it seems they are. Russiannmilitary is very diverse as far as capabilities
It appears though that Russia doesn't have many of such capable forces and that the bulk of the army is made up of ill equipped and trained men.

While this is interesting, I no longer take anything from Russian with a grain of salt, but an entire silo. Of course, Ukraine is not some magical source of truth either, but at the very least they have plenty of prisoners that can be verified and require actual activity to obtain. This war is best understood in post.

Yeah the one thing I've learned in the last two years is that everything... *everything* that comes from Russian sources is a lie.

Ukraine does have the advantage that they have blown the bridges along the river and that pocket to the west of where the initial advance will be very difficult for the Russians to resupply. It will also be very hard for them to pull any equipment they have there back to the North. Part of the aim for Ukraine was to pull decent Russian units away from the East and Kharkiv so it looks like that has been somewhat successful.
it was so "successful" that Ukraine hastily evacuated the city of Pokrovsk and lost a settlement almost every day
lol, you mean they destroyed their only way out..look again American bootlicker
It's now aug 30th and Azov brigades are on the brink of total defeat in Donbass and totally blame Z for the strategic blunder of Kursk incursion
The guy at the start is nicknamed "BALU" not "BALI". I know that reading cyrillic can be difficult but try to learn it if you want to report this conflict more precisely.
Always look forward to these videos, the unbiased opinions and evaluations are always welcome.
Contractors? Why not distinguish between conscipts and volunteers by calling the volunteers "volunteers". The USA has had an all volunteer force for about four decades. No one calls the US military a "contractor" force. In the US context "Contractors" refers to mercenaries, like Blackwater or the Wagner Group.
Just call them volunteers.
Because they are mercs. Ukraine has a ton of south american mercenaries and thats a fact.
The Russians refer to their volunteers as contract soldiers as they have signed contracts to serve. Yes, we would call them regulars or volunteers. Volunteer soldiers tend to fight harder and are usually far more effective than conscripts.
We in the west use the term "contractors" to unsubtly mask the fact that such troops are mercenaries. The Russians don't care about international bans on mercenaries, and openly call their mercenaries, which is what they are.
@BlackWolf9988 Perhaps English is not your first language. There is a considerable difference between a contract soldier and a "contractor"
Because this is how Russian army and all Russian sources differentiate them. The US (or, say, French) context doesn't matter much.
Thanks!
it does not matter how good your intelligence is if you are in another country you will get ambushed every now and then. Ukraine likely expected more resistance and didn't expect to get so far into russia.
3:05 it's actually not so simple in Russia because a lot of people get tricked or bullied into signing contracts, including by cops who arrest people and give them an offer they can't really reject. Moreover there are two (or maybe even three depending how you look at it) categories of conscripts, and the one you're talking about here is the obligatory "military training" service thing, where they basically act as free labour for various projects on bases or for the officers (food delivery, shopping, construction crews on dachas etc.)
You are so balanced in your reporting. Thank you!

I believe you said what the Ukrainian objective was try and storm as far into Kursk as possible commit attacks against civilian infrastructure and there is no goal but indiscrimate killings.Ukrainian chances of building a buffer zone are zero as there is no communications or supply lines Eventually it will end with a lot of Dead AFU at the cost of living more ground in the Donbass to Russia and a dumb incursion into Russia.They also tried Belogrod in the last few Days to try and open a second front but where smashed as it was obvious the AFU would try to stretch the RU military a much larger better fighting force on its own land I see this as the dying embers of the AFU and it's abilities to fight as a conventional Army
Do you believe what the Russian commander says, I am having a hard time to believe 😂
How will Russia supply their remaining forces in the Kursk forces in the region? If Ukraine consolidates over the fall /winter with the bridges down Russia will need to build pontoon bridges or air drop supplies to keep their remaining forces supplied correct?
Russia already has used multiple pontoon bridges
They will likely evacuate these troops and build their defefsive line elsewhere.
All of which are destroyed at the moment, this is a big issue for them honestly. Even more so because putin doesn't want to redirect troops from the east. @Spookiekoon69
I think I saw Scott Ritter or other one that I don't remember the name speaking of this. The river isn't that big that would make it difficult to make supplies go across and the pontoon bridges are easy to make and remake because of that, so it slows down, but doesn't negates the supply also, because Russians have less troops than Ukrainians there, the need for supplies is not that high. Meaning that a few trucks can supply a battalion for a while (plus their attacks and defensive perimeters make use of less ammo since they are defending low intensity attacks).
Now, as for Ukraine holding this territory for more than a few weeks everyone doubts that. Especially with the number of hymars, amor vehicles and as batteries that they are losing. Plus the front in other areas is collapsing and fast, so there will be only so much that Ukraine can divert to reinforce the area.
@@Spookiekoon69 Successfully? Source?
Why you channel is very informative. Really enjoyed it. Cheers mate✌️✌️✌️
It seems Ukrainians wanted to pull best Russian troops from Pokrovsk direction. Instead, they ended whitb thinly deployed own troops in open terrain with very few built defensive points.
You *SUCK.*
I eagerly look forward to Mr Stewart’s videos. But I do believe that, on occasion, he makes the mistake often made by Americans. The west, and by extension what Ukraine is aspiring to do, is to not specifically lie. OpSec is important so if you don’t want to disseminate information for whatever reason, morale, operational etc you have a blackout.
This isn’t a rule that’s always followed but it does mean that we tend to believe reports from our military and any doubts are that we’re not getting the full picture, rather than that we are being lied to.
But as demonstrated by Russian equipment
specifications which are largely aspirational, as opposed to the west’s usual underreporting of capabilities,
Russian culture does not place a premium on the truth. You can never take a statement from them at face value.
Now, I’m not saying there wasn’t a Ukrainian firefight they lost, that they were never ambushed. But there are several reports, supposedly in different areas, showing the same destroyed small column in accompanying images.
And the lack of reporting about drones being a concern to them is highly suspicious. Maybe the Russians have pulled together a working EW system and all of a sudden drones aren’t working. The Ukrainians aren’t going to tell us that one of their primary advantages, the tactics and skills of their drone operators, has been neutralised. So it is possible. But assuming it’s true based on a propaganda report from a Russian milblogger is dangerous. Yes, I know some milbloggers have apparently been going off script and reporting losses. But I’d bet my left testicle that this isn’t a slip up, it isn’t a case of a security flaw. It’s going to be part of ‘the plan’. If it wasn’t, the milbloggers involved would have been shut up very quickly. It’s more likely the Kremlin wants to alarm their population just enough to not object too much to another partial mobilisation. Or at least, they are trying to setup the conditions if they decide they need to.
I don’t go in for conspiracy theories as a rule, but Russians love conspiracies. They love intrigue and ‘tricking’ their adversaries. It’s a hangover from Mongol slave days. This is why they find the Brits more interesting WRT espionage, the Brits are pretty damn sneaky themselves and Russians respect that. Whereas Americans tend to be more open, more honest and rely on firepower, cash and numbers. That’s not a criticism, it works for you. But the Brits and the Russians have a long history of being sneaky with each other, it suits both their national characters well.
I have noticed this charming and highly admirable attitude from a number of US reporters on Ukraine. Jake Broe and Ryan MacBeth for example. Although I can’t quite work out if Ryan is actually playing a game with his very American habit of taking people at their word and at face value.
This is not a criticism by any means. There’s something in that character of optimism that has made the US the world’s greatest power while still, for the most part, remaining democratic.
Consider me a concerned friend who doesn’t like seeing friends get taken by evil bastards who play on their good nature.
I don;t understand why western news reporters and youtubers are so obsessed with teritory. There is nothin of strategic value there exept nuclear plant, that has not been taken (and I guess it will not). Everything else is just fields, forests and super small villages. The real result is measured with soldiers ended and equipment removed from battlefield, plus big cities or strategic possition (for any reason strategically important). Only two reasons, that I can see of this intrusion into Russian teritory 1) taking of nuclear plant and exchanging it for one in Ukraine Russians are holding 2) PR for media. First failed, second sucseeded, but nobody in front or Russia decidion makers care about PR anymore, regarding western media - so it is unimportant. So much life loss, for some fields and some forest, and 50 houses.
