I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the seven-hundred-fourteenth day of the war.
Day 714: Feb 07
Today, there are a lot of updates from the Avdiivka direction.
But first of all, there are a lot of updates from Crimea. Today, Ukrainian Special Operations Forces units conducted a successful operation on the Russian oil rigs. Ukrainian special operators reported that Russian forces deployed a ”Neva-B” object detection radar system on the rig, which allowed Russian forces to better surveil the northwestern part of the Black Sea. Russians also used the object to stage attacks with Iranian-provided Mohajer-6 reconnaissance drones and guide Shahed drone strikes. Moreover, the mining platform was also used as a radar station to monitor surface vessels in the northwestern part of the Black Sea. Ukrainians seized the valuable equipment, mined the oil rig, and successfully detonated explosives from a safe distance.
Today, Russian sources also leaked a video filmed by the Russian air defense operators during the recent Ukrainian missile strike on Crimea. The video shows how Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles, one by one, fly right in front of the Russian air defense systems, causing a huge wave of criticism of the effectiveness of Russian air defense. Some Russian analysts claimed that the missiles were flying at a too close range to be shot down, while others presumed that Ukrainian drone strikes indeed destroyed a Russian radar station, rendering these missile launchers useless.
When it comes to the front lines, as expected, Russian forces did not slow down after a huge group of Russian soldiers that reached Sapronova Street at night got encircled and taken captive by the Ukrainians. Instead, the Russian command was emboldened by the fact that the so-called Death Valley between Avdiivka and Ivushka was crossed and decided to double down.
The situation is extremely tough. Ukrainian soldiers report that Russians conduct major assaults every twenty minutes. Moreover, Russian aviation is extremely active, and over the last eight hours, Russian dropped thirty-seven FAB-500 air-dropped bombs. On top of that, Russians started to actively engage heavy thermobaric artillery systems. As you can see, all this fire is concentrated right in the center of Avdiivka, where Russians are planning to advance. Such fire basically wipes everything out. Nonetheless, Ukrainian fighters reported that they stand their ground. Some say that withdrawing to the positions behind is useless anyway, as, under such pressure, new positions become exactly the same in a matter of minutes.
It seems like the fighting is so intense that neither party has the time to release geolocated combat footage. In fact, Ukrainian soldiers reported that they engaged all drone operators to counter this massive wave of attacks. Ukrainian drone operators are working with little to no sleep to rebuff Russian attacks and also help the infantry by communicating what they see from the sky.
A Ukrainian brigade spokesperson also stated that Russian forces started equipping some of their armored vehicles with electronic warfare systems to protect against Ukrainian drones. Even though such practices are still very rare due to the shortages of electronic warfare systems, this poses a significant threat. It would not be a big problem if Ukrainians had ample supplies of shells, however, as Ukrainian forces are increasingly rationing shells and trying to target masses of advancing Russian forces.
According to prominent Russian sources, Russians only managed to fully capture the first block of Independence Street. Prominent Ukrainian sources claim that the fights recently reached the bridge. The claims of the progress of other sources vary between these two benchmarks. However, all sources agree that the main direction of the Russian advancement is south-east. Russian sources claim that Ukrainians are frequently counterattacking, not allowing Russians to establish their positions, and achieved success on Kotsiubynskogo Street, which Ukrainian sources still mark under Russian control.
Avdiivka Military Administration Head Vitaly Barabash stated that the situation in the area is expected to continue being very difficult because Russian forces are trying to capture the town for political and informational reasons before the Russian presidential elections in March.

You can not stop this so where does it end 🤔
@@bluntforce you mean someone is guessing
@@einosiirila7093 out of pootins balcony.
Currently the USA is no longer an ally of NATO countries but an ally of putler. Such betrayal, such cowardice will never be forgotten.
What you need to realise, is that many of your viewers of your TH-cam channel are retired or unemployed through no fault of their own(such as myself) and as a direct result of Russia's invasion into Ukraine, inflation in the west has been bad for the last 18 months, but social security and pensions have not risen inline with inflation. This means that many of us cannot afford to pay for TH-camrs Channel upkeep, via patreon, joining a channell etc. #JustSaying
Some of the other channels stopped reporting how many days since the invasion. Please don't join them. Please keep saying how many days it's been. It's a REMINDER of how long the war is going and reminds people! It helps
This is special military operation is it not war!
@@EmilioZapata-wl5ujthen why do so many of YOUR Z patriot propagandists call it a WAR?
Because its a WAR.
You can call a tiger a fluffy bunny if you like, it doesn't change the FACT that it's a tiger.
@@SkylessHun"collapse"? Hardly, you clowns have been "winning this war" for nearly two years now.
It tool you nine months and 40000 orks and the help of Wagner troops to "win" in Bakhmut and there's nothing left of it.
You don't understand winning. Or collapse, apparently.
That's the problem, saying it (for him) is an effing Reminder of how long this effing war has been going on. Longer for them.
@@SkylessHunfor ruSSia, just how is it going after 2 years?
Trying to get to 500,000 dead and wounded
What navy?
As for the air force 😂
My friend your reports are the best there is of All coverage. Generations of children will see your reports and know the truth on this unfortunate war. Thank u for all u do
Appreciate it!
You forgot "Day 708" and thank you atthe end @@RFU

I love your channel …it is so refreshing to get some real facts!
US Congress needs to act soon. It is a shame politics are being played instead of giving Ukraine aid. The worst thing that happens by giving Ukraine munitions is creating American jobs.
Well if the Republican Party wasn’t bought and paid for by Putin we’d be sending more already
It's nonsense what's happening in USA. For sure someone there is playing into the Russian hands... if the Republicans want to make America Great again, they must help Ukraine as soon as possible, to put Russia on her knees, militarily!
Screw the Ukrainians no more of my tax dollars.
I’m an American here. And I can confirm things are not going well in our Congress. Just today, the bipartisan immigration bill that is supported by even some of the most conservative members as well as the border patrol union; which had another $60+ billion dollars in aid directed at Ukraine has been effectively stalled in the senate. Trump and MAGA were successful in pressuring enough Republican senators to block the bill from advance. The president is doing what he can to get Congress to send additional funds to Ukraine. But alas, Trump has enough influence left to keep Congress from doing anything significant until something happens to Trump or after the election in November concludes. I’m sorry, that’s the best I could do
@@3o3tigger Surely you mean tax roubles?
Thanks for the update, stay safe and sane!
The Czech republic has proposed that EU should buy the artillery shells from the sources outside the EU. EU has no resources to produce the required amount of shells, so this would be important. Original article is this
Czechs want EU to shop abroad for Ukraine shells (politico)
EU citizens should contact their MEPs.
Prayers for Ukrainian troops facing the Thermobarics.
Many thanks, as usual, to inform us. Every second is full of this awful war. Poor people, i pray for you.
So good to have you back.

Thank you for the update.
Russian gains are a direct result of Republican party delays in US and lack of European commitment in expanding industrial capacity.
bue according to all "slava ukraini" and the western media, ukraine is winning. Are you saying ukraine is losing?

Great informant video!!!
I really liked the part where you discussed the fog of war as a reporter about the ground situation in Avdiivka. Noting that footage had not been published by either side to qualify the varying claims about street control.
Great reporting ethics, thank you
UA Spetnaz said that their situation is very bad, RUS dug tunnels underneath them and keeps popping up, although they eliminated a lot of them and still hold today their supply are very low at least 1 month worth of supplies. he said they will hold Avdiivka til they die, and he knows that will come soon.
@@nitonono4143 I thought the Russians were using existing (but long forgotten) tunnels rather than digging new ones.

All this is happening because of one mans greed, he wants more and more and does not care who pays the price
Awesome, a new episode of Unfortunately for Russians.
unfortunately for russian gain more teritory in avdivka
@@nouka72 most normal people value human life over a destroyed town. unfortunately for Russians those dead will never contribute to the Russian economy and that's why they are protest about basic things like heating and lucky if they have a toilet in some areas. Unfortunately for Russians the only things they look forward to is vodka and i guess taking technology from others because a country like that could never invent something meaningful in the world.
Unfortunately for Russia Bakhmut holds.
Ukraine wasted time, men and equipment in trying and failing to retake it.
This war is no longer in Ukraine.
It is in ruZZia
Keep up. @@moiseshuerta3984

Thank you for everything you do, sir.
Thanks for the update, top quality reporting as always
Great report once again thank you it's so appreciated.
excellent reporting..
" the missiles were to close to shoot down" is equivalent to the dog ate my homework in creative lying.... Russians aren't very good at lying for Putin!
Yeah, seconds before they weren't that close & seconds later they're also farther away, so too close?... I don't think so.
Every official statement from China, North Korea and Russia is 100% lies
More likely the Ukrainians took out the radar units.
Russians never said that. Its just usual idiotic ukro-lies
Somebody here doesn't know how missile systems work...I love reading ignorant comments on YT made by armchair experts.
You are the one go-to and trusted source I believe in. Thank you, chap, for all that you do.
"trusted"???? never!
This is the most deceitful source

Thanks for the update.
special ops raid on sea platforms is something out of Call of Duty
I think you got the origin of battle around the wrong way.
They do not make war about games.
@@pinkfloyd870yes but there’s literally a call of duty mission where you infiltrate an oil rig, get hostages out, then blow up the oil rig. Not saying they literally modeled this operation off the game but there’s definitely a comparison to be made
@@pinkfloyd870 Actually they do make war about games.
I understand, I was just being facetious @@tpd1864blake

Always informative and insightful broadcasts, really well presented thankyou GLORY TO UKRAINE
I'm glad I stayed up late enough to catch this update shortly after you uploaded (watching from London). I've been keeping track of the situation, but watching your videos regularly after a month is making me appreciate your work even more than I already did! Thank you for everything you do, now please go to bed 😊 Слава Україні 💙💛 Переможете
Thank you for another excellent report. Stay safe. 🙏
I find that your videos on you tube are among the best sources for information about the war in Ukraine. I would be sad if they were only on your patreon site. I do understand the advantages from this though. I watch your videos on a very old phone as it is all l can afford.
Slava Ukrayini! Heroyam slava!
Appreciate your excellent regular updates. You are doing great work. More power to you.
So good you are back🙂
Duzhe dobre. Dyakuyu 👌🏻🇬🇧🇺🇦
Dobroho Dnya!
I have enjoyed your reporting which gives any reader a real appreciation of the strategic successes taking place. My best wishes to you for your continuing improvement in your health. The pressures you have been under over the last 2 years must have drained you. It is so clear how you have motivated troops with your front line visits. My best wishes.
Great job, as always. I’ll join your service and sign up to the paying one. This is invaluable analysis for anyone who cares
First, I want to thank you for the accurate and precise informations regarding the frontline.
Second, I wish you a good health, because health is better than anything.
I cannot support you on Patreon, due to "reasons", but my heart stays true. And I know I will watch whatever you will stream om TH-cam. And I know that we will dance and enjoy on our victory day. Stay safe, stay healthy, this sh*tty world of ours needs you. Most profound respect from Romania.
Thanks and Take Care!!

Russian occuppied oil rigs I would think would be the reality, that Russia seized those from Ukraine or built them after annexing Crimea,
thank you for your continued coverage in any event, it is geratly appreciated!
how bumd you "slava ukraini" people can be to believe in all this bs? jesus christ, rocks are smarter than all of you combined.
Thank you another well thought out, common sense analyzed, and Ukrainian point of view. Denys and other channels are trying to focus on US politics and are just repeating headlines and aren't analyzing anything, really showing they don't understand how our political system works. Thank you for sticking to what you know 🙏
I thought that everyone questioned what the MSM claimed. Why don't Eastern Europeans "look behind the curtain"?😂😂
100%, it’s a bit rich coming from Deny’s who fled Ukraine with his wife and daughter, bleating he had a family to think about. I suppose he thinks those 10’s of thousands of brave Ukrainians fighting on the front don’t have families to think about?
@@supertuscans9512 He's a pilot too, they are getting F-16's....we ALL knew they would get them eventually for a year and half. I would be chomping at the bit for the opportunity. Denys knows a lot about Ukraine, but he literally thinks orange man is controlling US Senators while not in office, Senators who openly hate him. It's like "dude, you're smarter than that"!
@@theofficialken1755 So then trump _hasn't_ been frantically calling all the representitives telling them to not support the bill, or he will have them primaried? Also, denys isnt a combat pilot. Big difference.
@@supertuscans9512 Go home Ivan.
A great analysis as always - thanks!
That plant is in Izhevsk about 1200km due east from Moscow
A long way from Ukraine. Maybe partisans hit it ?
@@mikefisher5005 The point is the video claimed it was "near" Moscow and implied you could see the explosion and fire from Moscow.

Another well constructed and delivered report. Many thanks and keep well
FABULOUS CONTENT
Avdiivka has been a stronghold against Russia since 2014, and it's at risk of falling because of authoritarian interests in the US and Europe. I wish the republicans would feel shame for their actions these past few months. (I say wish because I know they won't.)
I know I don't! 😎 Wasted way too much money there already!
Authoritarian interests in the US and Europe started this whole mess and are directly responsible for it! 🤦
It's a bit more complicated. The EU wants to support Ukraine, but it just can't do it right now. First of all, EU military capabilities has gone down in since the early 2000s (mainly because of the same politicians and their parties who wants to send military aid now). EU just doesn't have enough weapons and won't have for the next 2-4 years. Even the financial side is problematic, before the next aid, the EU has to take a loan for this reason.
The US side is different. They have enough weapons, but the ukranian is just one of the many possible frontlines, and not even the most important. China, North-Korea, Iran are all waiting for a sign of weakness. If the US cuts its stockpiles for Ukraine, they can't react in time if another fight takes place elsewhere.
@@lydon5595 Much to the contrary, US unwillingness to confront Russia in Ukraine is the very sign of weakness that China, North Korea and Iran are looking for. There've been no reports that limitations on stockpiles of weapons prevents US from supplying Ukraine, and lots of reports that republicans prefer that we negotiate with Putin rather than beat him.
@@lydon5595As a guy living in Sweden, in the EU, I can safely say that the EU IS able to support Ukraine :). All of the countries are deciding on a new aid package, and yes. Spending money IS worth it here because it's cheaper destroying Russia in Ukraine rather than in Poland. The only countries arguing against it is Slovakia and Hungary. And even they've stopped.
And no, the US isn't "cutting" any stockpile, and isn't at any risk from China or North Korea. First of all, all of these nations have nukes so it doesn't matter who's military is stronger because all sides will lose the conflict (even the US will lose).
Second of all, the ammunition the US is giving Ukraine is mostly old ammunition that is cheaper to give away than scrap, which would've been done otherwise.
Third of all, the US is by far the strongest economical and military superpower in the entire world, housing the number 1 and 2 spots for largest airfleet (3 as well if you count the boneyard), and have technology far superior to that of China and Russia.
Ukraine is also a very important front as Russia will otherwise advance into the rest of Europe (they've threatened this several times by now), Ukraine is also a very important country for food which we can't afford Russia getting control over. And also, destroying Russia's entire stockpile of soviet equipment in Ukraine will make it even easier to destroy them entirely in a war. Plus, we in the west have learned a lot about modern warfare through this conflict.
@@geoffreykeenan5914Negotiating with him won't help as he will just, like in 2014 with the "peace", break his promises and attack again when he has gathered strength. Remember how he once said that he respects Ukraines borders and the any idea of a supposed disagreement was western fabrication?
Our hearts are with you, stay safe. 🇺🇦
Thanks and I hope you are staying healthy. And noted on viewing via Patreon.
Thanks for the update on yt
My man doesn’t realize that 10 years from now historians and classrooms alike will be watching your videos lol
I know a few people that have downloaded the videos of the entire channel to preserve. Which is amazing.
Thank you good sir
Thank you for the update ❤️🇺🇦 Stay safe!
U.S needs helps Ukraine. Its benefit both sides, keep Russia enemies away, no more attacks Ukraine.
Ukraine is neither a NATO or an EU country. Ukraine is a neutral country, their enemy is Russia not ours! No country will be sending troops to die on there soil for a country no better that Russia
Ukraine isn't a NATO country or an EU country we aren't at war with Russia!!! Ukraine refused to except the results of referendums these states held after Biden and Obama signed away Crimea in 2014
Sadly Ukraine is just a pawn in the game of Empires. Russia wants land and the US wants to test weapons and make money. They will never save Ukraine. If it gets that bad .
2:30. wow...Putin must really want that tiny town...
He wants an election announcement to make himself look good to the Russian voters.
He thinks he needs that town.
The fighting in Andivka started in 2014.
There are rail and road junctions near and in the town that if Ukrainian soldiers were not occupying it would ease Russian logistics.
Andivka is a strategic key to the Donetsk Oblast.
At this point taking before the March Russian elections will make Putin look good in propaganda.
Ukraine also has a Bahkmut problem here.
If they try to hold onto it too long they risk losing too many lives over a piece of ground.
Some Ukrainians were critical of the extended defense of Bahkmut and the commanders.
Staying too long in Andivka could have the same effect.
No matter how many Russians they take with them.
Ukraine simply does not have the number of soldiers Russia has.
It can not afford to waste them.
Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
Of course, it would be a major loss for Ukraines defense!
Thanks for your great analysis I follow along daily but I will stay on TH-cam please continue to post here

Most objective reporting on the war, not saturated with emotions. Keep it up ! 👍
We missed your reports . You are the best
@1:23 Or... the SAM's had no missiles that actually worked. It's possible, read up on the reason why the Kursk destroyed itself as it did... basically unavailable ordnance replaced by outdated and poorly maintained/stored older ordnance. Their own weapon made not only useless by corruption/incompetence, but also deadly to the crew. But we know Russkiy Mir doesn't care about people.
