Thank you Anders.
Good analysis. But I don't understand why Ukraine needs to prove themselves anymore. Especially whenever they go on the offensive, Elon Musk shuts down the StarLink network for Ukraine...
@@williamyoung9401 Do the Ukrainians no longer have Star Link?
@@Pippie5555 Ukraines Starlink is paid for by the US Government so if anything happens, Elon gets to talk with the DoD about why its Starlink in Ukraine is down. That is my understanding of the situation. No idea about the current situation today but I have seen Starlink active in Ukraine up to this last month at the very least.
@@mrdwets8952 Thank you.
I am NOT a fan of Elon Musk...
@williamyoung9401 when did Elon Musk turn any off? Let me guess you heard it but no evidence..
Tusinde tak for din opdatering Anders.
1000 thank you for updates anders? Is that correct? What language?
Danish
And many thanks to the Danish people for great support to Ukraine. If all European countries had been as devoted, loyal and generous as the Baltic and Nordic countries plus Poland, this war would have been finished a long time ago.
Tusinde tak!
@@Bob94390 May I ask, what exactly do you mean by "Ukraine" and "the people of Ukraine"? Well, taking into account the civil war that has been going on in Ukraine since 2014. So what part of the population of this country do you consider worthy of your help?
@@bigkillerwhale1801"1000 thank you" is a set phrase in Danish. Basically just means "thank you very much".
At last someone who takes the war serious and gives an accurate account of what's happening on the battlefield, in a manner a non military person can understand, Thank you☘️
Not so much. He is just another propaganda asset. 😕
Thank you for educating us in such a clear, easily-understood manner, Mr. Nielsen.
I am Russian, if only the world knew the true scale of loss in Russia. And we have not even 10% of the Ukraine. Foolish Putin, our Bunker Grandfather lives a lie
But Ukraine only has 3 airports with runways long enough for F-16's to operate out of with strike load-outs, and the F-16's are delayed again. And those airports aren't close enough to the battlefields to strike without refueling and drops tanks slow them down too much. This is a very incremental war guaranteed to take another 200,000+ lives at this rate. Ukraine hits a refinery and a marine installation and an ammo depo, then Putin ratchets up with heavier glide bombs on more strategic infrastructure. Many think tanks in the west see the F-16's as not effective enough, but yet a reason for Putin to escalate strategic bombing further. The best bet is to probably let Trump negotiate an end before he takes the oath of office or it will just keep spiraling. This is worse than WW2 to see people killing their brothers.
"Let Trump negotiate an end" = "Force Ukraine to capitulate by blocking all US military support".
Here, fixed that for you.
@@lorenzcassidy3960 NO, for any negotiation to work and have a stable outcome both sides have to give up something and both sides have to gain something. Read the Art of the Deal. or Kissinger or Von Clausewitz

I hope you know how crucial this channel is for some of us to get a basic understanding of the war and how it's going. Very informative, concise, and as unbiased an analysis a human can possibly do based on the facts. Finally going to subscribe to your newsletter, something I should have done months ago!
Just subscribed. More objective than some other channels, which I also subscribe to, but they are more partisan and though I am for UKR, I like a bit more objectivity at times.
Unbiased, yes, if the meaning of the word is reversed. I find it hard to find Ukraine conflict analysts as biased as Anders in reality is. That IS his job, after all. Historical facts, casualties, Nordstream, all laughable hogwash.
Bias to the west 😂.
😂😂😂
@@AprezaRenaldy Not really biased no . Not many people west, south or east of russia understand why Russia is willing to litterally murder its own citizens by throwing them into a war for a little tiny bit of land that just doesnt make sense ? Sure the fsb and propaganda is blasting with hey they are all nazis and bla bla but who really cares ? its a dumb war totally uncalled for ? Putin keeps talking like hes scared of loosing something but what ? im pretty certain NO ONE has any intention what so ever of even thinking about moving into or against Russian ? Its just not logical?

@@christophstich5066We all do what we can. Thank you mate. Now we even have a new thread for the algo. Yaeiii.
Another one here 😊 Hello
Also let the algorithm know !
Former US grand strategist Zbignew Brzezinski said: “It is IMPERATIVE that no Eurasian challenger emerges capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America”. Because the US has just 4% of the world’s population, and it’s isolated from the Eurasia continent which has 70% of the world’s population, or 87% with Africa included. Defensively, it’s an advantage to the US, but economically, it’s a handicap. That’s why economically, Eurasia is a competitor to the US and the Euro is a threat to the dollar.
How does the US with an isolated and just 4% of world’s population maintain its position as the world’s biggest economy? The dollar must stay as the world’s reserve currency. This allows the size of the US economy to be highly scaled up, instead of being sized according to the fundamentals.
To be the world’s reserve currency, the dollar must be circulated in the world. The US created a huge consumption-based economy and shifted manufacturing outside, so that dollars flow out of the US to product suppliers like China or Japan. To make products, China and Japan need energy. The US created the Petrol-dollar scheme, so that dollar is circulated to Saudi. With the US stock and financial market much more lucrative than other countries, the dollars from Saudi are attracted back to the US. Money printed in the US to exchange for goods from outside eventually ends up with the Wall Streets, where the rich gets richer. And that completes the cycle of circulation of the dollars.
The American Dream attracted top talents around the world to strengthen the US’ science and technology sectors, and a technological gap is maintained between the US and other major economy like China, so that the US benefits from highly lucrative high-tech product/patent exports, while low profit manufacturing sector is outsourced to China and Vietnam. This is why world leader in 5G, Huawei, are banned in 2019.
If China or Japan bring back all the dollars and exchange to their local currencies, it inflates the local currencies, making their exports expensive. So, China and Japan use some of the dollars to buy US debts (treasury bonds). That’s why the US, a rich country, is in-debt to China which has just 1/5th of the US’ GDP per capita.
And by holding US treasury bills, China and Japan have to support the US dollar, for if the US dollar collapses, their hard earn money would become worthless. After Obama’s “Pivot to Asia” in 2011, which aimed to contain China, China introduced the Belt and Road Initiatives (BRI) in 2013 and diverted some of the dollars into it to reduce the risk of putting all eggs in one basket, and hoping that after these countries are developed, China would have a wider trade market.
With a huge population, if Asia and Africa develop rapidly, the share of the US’ economy shrinks, then the Euro could replace it as the world’s reserve currency. When that happens, the US would no longer be able to print money out of nothing without a hyper inflation like Venezuela. Then the size of the US economy has to fall back to the fundamentals, which today is quite a lot smaller than the inflated economy. That’s why no country in Eurasia is allowed to catch up with the US’ economy. When Japan was catching up fast on the US in the 1980s, they were knocked down to a three decade stagnancy by appreciating the Japanese Yen. And in the last 30 years, the US created conflicts, wars and color revolutions in the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa to destabilise the Eurasia-Africa supercontinent.
When the US prints a lot of money, other countries’ foreign reserves in dollars shrink in value. Furthermore, to prevent exports to the US becoming expensive, these countries have to print money too, which devalues the savings of the people, and causing inflations in these countries. It’s estimated that our savings devalue by 6-9% per year after the abolishment of the gold-backed Bretton Woods system, after which the US prints money based on just the creditability of the dollar.
North America is relatively easy to defend, yet the US has a military budget more than the total of the next 9 countries in the top 10, to protect the dollar with its 800 military bases worldwide.
For the record, the US had no mercy on threats to the dollar:
* In 2000 Saddam Hussein said he would start selling oil in Euros not Dollars.
>> Saddam was hanged by the US.
* In 2009 Gaddafi made Libya export oil in Gold Dinars, not in dollar or Euro.
>> Gaddafi was killed by US-backed NTC.
* Syria had an independent Central Bank NOT under Federal Reserve controlled Bank of International Settlements.
>> Obama attempted to overthrow Bashar al-Assad.
* Iran has been trading oil in currencies other than US dollars since 2011.
>> Iran was being sanctioned by the US.
* After being sanctioned in 2014, Putin started to trade in non-dollar. In 2019, Putin (1) completely ditched dollars in oil trades, (2) sold almost all the US treasury bonds, (3) is now the forerunner in de-dollarization.
>> The US tried to topple Putin by supporting Alexei Navalny. And now the Ukraine war to weaken Russia.
* China (1) introduced the BRI in 2013 which helps many countries to develop and speed up the integration of Eurasia, (2) used non-dollar in oil trades with Iran and Russia, (3) introduced the CIPS, an alternative to the West’s SWIFT system which has been weaponized by America, (4) China’s economy and high technology are catching up fast.
>> China has become the US’ #1 target.
If a country supports the dollar, it’s being looted; if a country doesn’t support the dollar, the government is changed by the US. This is financial slavery.
The Fed has printed 80% of all US dollars in existence since Jan 2020. There was $4.02 trillion dollars in circulation at the beginning of 2020. The number reached $20.08 trillion by Oct 2021. This amounted to an astronomical 30 trillions debt. Coupled with a global rising urge to diversify into non-dollar reserves caused by the US’ sanctions to 39 countries, the dollar is in a creditability crisis. This is the major development which shapes geopolitics in the world today.
The US cannot have direct wars with Russia and China because they are nuclear armed. Proxy wars put the battlefields outside of the US, and the US would looked like an outsider. Remember in the 1980s, the US supported the Afghan Mujaheddin in a proxy war against the USSR. Russia and China have clearly defined their redlines. US would use its collaborators Zelensky and Tsai to push across the redlines to trigger the wars, and it would sell weapons to its allies in NATO and AUKUS, and get them to support the wars.
After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, US President Bill Clinton had two choices: (a) to integrate Russia into Europe and abolish NATO, OR, (b) to slowly alienate Russia to keep Russia and Europe divided. Clinton chose the latter, because if there’s no more Russia “threat”, there would be no more NATO to control Europe. As the first NATO Secretary General, Lionel Ismay described the military role of NATO: “To keep America IN, to keep Russia OUT, to keep Germany (Europe) DOWN”. NATO also allows the US to place missiles in Europe, so if a war break out in Europe, missiles would be flying between Moscow the East and Lisbon in the West, while the US remains safe across the Atlantic.
And politically, the EU is an American creation, as much as a European one. It’s much easier for Washington to control ruling elites at Brussels than having to control all politicians in Europe. The EU is used an ally or a sacrificial depending on the geopolitical needs of Washington.
The proxy war in Ukraine: 1.Divided Europe from Russia and divided Eurasia. 2.Killed Nord Stream II gas pipeline and German firm Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg has signed up for gas from America Venture Global LNG for 20 years. The US gained control over energy supply to Europe. 3.Created continuity for the Military Industrial Complex after pulling out of Afghanistan. 4.Most importantly, the war strengthened the dollar. Dollar against Euro is now the highest since NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia in Mar 1999 (happened two months after the official launch of Euro as the currency of the EU, which threatened the dollar). A strong dollar together with the Fed’s interest rise in 2022 cause capitals from all over the world to flow into the US’ economy, while collapsing other economies, like Sri Lanka.
Else where, two months after ignoring a warning from Washington against his visit to Moscow, highly popular Imran Khan was ousted from the PM post of Pakistan on 9 Apr 2022. A month after ignoring Biden’s demand to increase oil production, secretary-general of OPEC, Mohammad Barkindo died unexpectedly on July 6 2022.
The US isn’t relinquishing its privilege to loot. Remember after WW II, Europe and Asia were devastated, but the US emerged as the world leader and the dollar became the world’s reserve currency.

It's such a sad and truthful analysis that both sides are ok with their strategic situation at present.
Definitely a good vid on the state of the war.
THX for the update )
Great update. Thanks for giving us the big picture.
Thank you for this reasonable set of observations supporting your analysis. Always a source for understanding. Thank you Anders.
Given the current stance of the two sides (Ukraine on defense, Russia still on offense), it would make more sense for the Ukrainians to continue the attrition of Russian forces on the frontline in particular while using their long range weapons to strike logistical/strategic targets in Russia. Regaining territory seems to be a high-risk, low reward option at this point, especially given last summer’s experience.
Thank you Anders 🤗

great overview thanks Anders
Another great analysis, Anders. It will certainly be interesting to see what difference F-16's will make on the battlefield, seeing how it's been widely talked about for 2+ years now.
Might take a while before F-16 arrive and maybe only 20, so they are not going to win the war in 6 weeks :(
But Sweden donated 2 Saab 340 (AWACS-style) for more Air-Surveilence and these will especialy enhance the capabilities of F16s
They wont ever come close enough to Russia to do anything usefull at all.
@@slippingsnakeThey are supposedly arriving this summer. Granted we don’t know the specific day, but sometime between now and the middle of September, they will be in Ukraine. Russia will have to commit its air force-its main conventional strategic reserve vis-a-vis the West (not to mention the long term threats from the East).
I don’t think we’ve seen the Russian Air Force throw all its weight on Ukraine, mostly because it has to maintain a credible deterrence against the West. Ukraine has been able to attrit those forces the Russians have committed so far.
If the Russian air force doesn’t commit, and the F-16s prove to be decisive, we should expect Russia to escalate in other ways, possibly using tactical nukes or chemical weapons on the battlefield.
@@MarcosElMalo2 Reports indicate that Pilots are the limiting factor, group of 20 for the time being while there are more then 60 F-16 on the way.
It doesn't help to shortcut the training, especialy because there is a difference in NATO Doctrin and how the Pilots use their SUs and MIGs at the Moment.
So the Process of Mission Planning and execution has to be reworked and trained (on Simulators and in real life in other countries).
Same as Leopard in summer offensive

Thanks for the analysis. What I am very curious about is this:
If the Ukrainians get all the ressources they need, how long would it take to retake substantial amounts of territory? Considering the Russians probably have mined most of the territory which will probably one of the bigger problems for Ukraine, it seems to me as a civilian almost impossible to make progress.

Thank you Anders to help us keep hope for Ukraine
Thanks for telling us the good, bad and ugly of the current situation. Much appreciated.
For the most part this is a well done summary of the front, but I must object to one point you made. I'm not sure where you got the idea that Ukraine didn't have to shift forces from Donbas to stop the Russian push into Kharkiv. Multiple Ukrainian sources have described how their manpower issues were further complicated by the need to shift some of their reserves to the north. Given Ukraine's continued lack of reserves, and the longstanding need for more comprehensive rotation of tired units, it's self evident that a new front will place greater stress on those forces defending in Chasiv Yar, Krasnohorivka, Ocheretyne etc. Yuri Butysov, well known Ukrainian military correspondent with close ties to the AFU, has reported that the 92nd, 57th and 42nd Mechanized/Motorized Brigades are taking part in active hostilities in the new direction. Additionally, Stryker AFVs of the 82nd ODSHB have been spotted in Vovchansk, indicating one of Ukraine's best equipped assault units have been transferred to push back the Russian advances there. The 13th Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard also has elements in the fight in that area. And finally, as you correctly pointed out, Marines from the Kherson region have also been moved to this newly activated front. It serves no purpose sugarcoating the extent of Ukrainian difficulties in terms of manning the front. So either more research or more honesty is needed in these reports.
Great video thank you for the information Glory to Ukraine Slava Ukraine pryvit
I was searching TH-cam for a factual based video and not one focussing on propaganda or going viral.
I’m glad I discovered you Anders, good work!
Thanks for the explanation Anders . .
They've been saying that the F16's are going to be arriving next month for the last year and a half. I'll believe it when I see it.
Nobody ever said that. The earliest I ever heard was like May 2024.
Tak Anders. 👍
Thanks for your overview of the war so far. it puts the war into perspective. Maybe you could make these more regular.
Another great video keep up the great work 👍
First of all: thank you very much for presenting your views, pls never stop!!!🙏🏽
Secend, a question: how is your point of view regarding the case, if trump wins the upcoming 11/2024 us-election? Do you think european nations can strongly enough strengthen the ukrainian efforts to prevail against the aggressor?
Thanks
Thanks Anders as always very well announced and accurate. Please keep up the good work.
So, if Russia on average fire 5-10 times the number of artillery shells as Ukraine (kind of confirmed by both sides). 65-85% of losses are due to artillery (kind of confirmed from both sides) and you add the higher number of FABs and precision guided missiles fired by Russia and I have even heard from Ukraine sources that Russia dominates in drones, how on earth can anybody come up with a number that Russia has lost more men than Ukraine. I know that Russia have been on the offensive longer, but not by much (I also know it does not appear so, as a lot of Ukrainian offensives, if they do not yield results, cease to be mentioned or called offensives). Please help me understand!!
What ive read is that Ukraine employs more drones the Russia. Russia also uses soldiers on small scale missions that one could describe as suicides waves. There they send a few soldiers forward and repeat this until they gather ground. Where did you get the estimate for 65% to 85% of artillery deaths?
@@0toponMost casualties are reported as a result of shrapnel or TBIs which is created by explosions, arty and FABs being the main culprits as most drone strikes dont kill soldiers on both sides and I wouldn't say what your saying is 100% factual unless you're talking about from the beginning of the war. Most attacks now are organized and if it goes horribly that isn't a suicide mission it's just a plan gone terribly wrong due to intel or luck.
Yep, that offensive went the same way anyone with any insight would expect, 30-50k men allegedly preparing for a major offensive is lacking a digit to be believable as a threat.
Though to be fair, I don't believe Russia intended it as an offensive to begin with, just a quick land grab of lightly defended border regions for a short-term propaganda effort.
Russia might be dumb enough to do it again, but it wont go any better for them anywhere else along the border, the only thing they will achieve is more support for Ukraine from the West.
It is crazy that so many people see Russia using half a year to take cities like Bakhmut or Chasiv Yar and think the war is going to end anytime soon, the war will continue for 2-3 more years until western supplies become so vastly more numerous to what Russia can supply that the Ukrainian military overwhelms the Russian combat capabilities.
I also don't understand why people think that Russia opening another front in Kharkiv takes away more Ukrainian resources than Russian resources, Russia is attacking into terrain that vastly benefit Ukraine, that is perfect for the Ukrainians as that is exactly what you want in a long war, for the other side to waste resources until your bigger economic support gets up to speed.
Biden is toast... There will not be more money from the USA... but you right, the war is at least 4 years from ending.
@rphb , you field assumptions only.
There's an assumption too by a lot of people that Russia can just infinitely throw men, material, and money to make incremental gains until they take over all of Ukraine. Sure, there's a high threshold for what is "too much" for Russia's regime and it's people but Russia isn't in the same place it was in WWII demographically or industrially. These folks seem to be operating off of the logic that Russia can just keep using Red Army style tactics from the 30s and 40s forever. Yet I think if the battles the Russian military has won so far since the end of 2022 show anything it's that there will come a time when they literally exhaust all the manpower and or resources they can invest into this war and that Russian society is going to increasingly feel the "pinch" of these investments. Assuming of course, that Ukraine stays in the fight (which despite the setbacks in territory it doesn't seem like the AFU is in any mood to quit.)
@@RobertoEarnywho no it is backed by data, and lets not forget that the west have already given all that it is willing to give and almost all that it is able to give. NATO is tapped out and people are tired of financing that war. They are tired of it in France, they are tired of it in Germany they are tired of it in England and they are most certainly tired of it in America.
There are detractors of course, there is always going to be people who love war, but these are mostly the people who don't pay the price for war, and is too callous to care about its victims.

It may be that the Russian incursions in the Kharkov area were indeed an offensive that has now been halted. Alternatively, the move was intended to attract Ukrainian reserves, stretching their army and facilitating Russian advances elsewhere.
Russia only used 10K troops, so its obvious they had no designs on Kharkov

I do like your updates and the extremely high Russian troll count in the comments tells me your assessments are very accurate
Every post by a Russian troll is more evidence that Russia's three day special military operation to capture Kiev and conquer Ukraine is not going according to plan and has turned into a disaster for Russia and for its military.
Countries that launch successful invasions have no need for trolls to spread propaganda because the success of their invasion is obvious from events on the ground.
And as you say the more Russian trolls who respond to a video with a thoughtful critical analysis of the war the more likely that the analysis is accurate.

You don't even deserve one ruble for such a tiny unimaginative bit of Russian propaganda.
If you don't improve your performance online you'll soon find yourself sent off to the front to spend your time in a rundown Russian trench.
@@tombombadil8709 12 F-16's can't, 120+ which are in the pipeline as well as 7 patriot batteries will definitely make a difference
@@pogo1140 ''Make a difference'' is not ejecting all Russians from Ukraine
Thank You very much.
