- Ukraine can now hit targets in Russia with American weapons. There are limitations on what Ukraine is allowed to do, but til will still create significant problems for the Russians. And it is a sign that the Kharkiv offensive can backfire for Russia.

It's a red line that Biden imposed on Ukraine and western counties.
February 23 d we heard threats on Ukrainian TV Ukrainian Nazi Right sector member Museychuk threatened us, Crimeans
still no genecider in gasA right? cool
Sorry to break it to you, but Russia is capable of escalation in discrete steps to make the retaliation to new rules ultimately hurt Ukraine even more than before.
🇺🇦🇺🇸
In 2014/15 it was decided to NOT provide "lethal aid" to Ukraine because "it might cause escalation." Escalation happened in 2022 nonetheless. Western leaders need to get a grip on reality and stop fighting this war like it is a diplomatic issue; it is not a diplomatic issue. It is war. The only restrictions which should be placed on Ukraine is to obey the laws of war. There should be no other restrictions of any kind and Ukraine should be free to do as it needs to pursue victory.
Western politicians are generally not freedom fighters, but bureaucrats.
You are naive.
@@Tom_Quixote he is completely right though, making you a salty Putin s!mp
I think part of the problem is that we arent ready to defend ourself so we cant say "do what u want" we still need time to build up our own defense.
Keep in mind that its not just russia that wanna take down the western countries
@@Tom_QuixoteShut up, Kameradski. Ukraine should have been given everything from Day 1 and Russia would have been defeated a year ago.
The restrictions on attacking Russian airforce bases in Russia should be lifted.
Rushn' military is a total joke lol.
'Fer sure, though its unclear whether Crimea is included in the new 'restricted' zones.
The problem is that major airbases are mixed nuclear/conventional. Strike must be super clean to avoid nuclear disaster and Russian nuclear counterstrike on. Europe, probably on Poland for example.
@@klowen7778it is clear. Anything inside internatinally recognized ukraine is fair game
There is no need to panic. I knew once Ukraine are able to establish continous production of Neptune missiles they will start using them on Russian territories, so they had done it in past day . And they are going to be big a punch. With a new warhead (400 kg +) and extended range (1000 km), soon Pootler will see the devastating effect of it.
Still too many limitations. Especially the fact they can’t use atacms on Russian airfields. Ridiculous
You'll notice Biden didn't specify what "near Kharkiv" means🤗
@@dpelpal - maybe its like China is a "near arctic" country? So "near Kharkiv" is includes everything west of the Urals?
@@dpelpalthey specifically clarified no atacms
@@dpelpal Everybody knows that Kharkiv is just between Sumy and Odessa. 😁
Moscow is nearby 😂
One is left wondering what Ukrainians could have achieved if they wouldn't have to fight with one hand tied from the first days of the war.
Tiny Ukraine didnt even have an army 4 years ago. And they have brought Rusha' to its knees.😂
And proper equipment...
Doesn't make any difference
Kharkiv was in any case only a distraction the question is only a distraction for what.
And with hitting Russian territory we still don't know what political ramifications will be
@@goenzoy712 Probably lots more people laughing at what a joke the rushn' army is lol. They can't win at this point....Rusha is losing in slow motion.
@@dpelpal That's not what it looks like
It's more than a little disappointing that we give them weapons and expect them to use our tactics, without giving them the quantities OR approval to actually use our tactics. There's no scenario where the US would not be attacking an aggressor on their own turf before they could stage an attack, and completely level their air bases.
@@user-qt7wb4nu1l If we're going to give them aid, maybe we should give them enough to ensure they win. Otherwise, what is the point?
@longbizzle77 you are correct.
@@user-qt7wb4nu1l the US, the UK and Russia & Ukraine signed an agreement in 1994 called the Budapest Memorandum. In that document Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear arsenal, the 3rd largest in the world at the tme, in exchange for guarantees on its sovereignty. We have to honor that agreement. If anything, we should have aided Ukrained with direct military aid from the beginning. We guaranteed their borders. The message it sends if we don't is: 1) get nuclear weapons and 2) the US doesn't honor its commitments.
@@S0ulinth3machin3u need to understand that agreement, the u.s, u.k and russia did not agree to go in or state how they would aid ukraine.
That was on purpose and the ukrainian gov knew it when they signed it.
This is not cause the u.s and u.k dont care its cause if they state different outcomes (if russia invades we will send our own troops) it can be used against them, and not just by russia.
International politics is very complicated and theres always someone out to gain more power, and they need to take it from someone else.
UNDERSTATEMENT! NATO WOULD NOT EXPECT OUR FORCES TO FIGHT A WAR WHERE WE DID NOT HAVE ABSOLUTE AIR SUPERIORITY AND ALL FORCES ENGAGED. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE WE COULD BE DOING AND SHOULD BE DOING.
The whole concept of setting limits as to what Ukraine can hit is borderline ridiculous.
Especially since the Rushin' military is a bit of a joke🤷♀️
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@dpelpal Thee Rushin' military is a bit of a joke, but you always sound like a frightened rabbit despite being far from the bear.
@@dpelpal If russia is a joke then why does nato spokesperson keeps talking about an imminent russian attack on nato? Isnt that a contradiction?
In the beginning it seemed reasonable, but at this point I also think limits should be lifted. Military targets exclusively of course!
It is The MOST Restrictive of "Restriction-Removal" decision ... Ever.
I am Russian live Samara. My father has a saying. If you think Russian army is good, you have either never been to Russia or you are sniff glue. Only people who are not from Russia think Russian army worth more than a candy. They lose to Ukraine, Ukraine is second poorest country in Europa and not even one quarter our size. Russian army is joke. Only women and children should fear russian army🤷♀️
@@dpelpal I do not "fear" the Russian Army. If you are a Russian however, my view is that there is far less fear of The Army than there is your various Interior Security service. Personally, I do not fear they either.
Thanks Anders for your professional reporting!

"It was a red line the West invented for themselves." Excellent statement.
But they may have invented it for good enough reason. It's like the boiling a frog metaphor: If you turn up the heat quickly--in this case hand over weapons capable of hitting Russia and allowing their use in that mode at the beginning--the frog will jump out of the pot but if you turn up the heat gradually the frog won't notice until it's too late. It is, however, past time to turn up the heat.
Or maybe the so-called “unprovoked” invasion of Ukraine was a response to the crossing of red lines? Or did you color-blind people not understand that Putin has been repeating like a parrot since 2008?
It's irritating, to say the least, like a deadly (literally) game of "Mother may I?" seeking permission to take one step. 🤦♀️
Equally infuriating is not one inch of the land is American, German or any other countries but Ukraine and Russia. Who's lives are on the line? Certainly not American or anyone else's. 🇺🇦🔱🙏😤

Anders is great! Biden took his sweet everlovin' time to make a half assed decision. Now let's you an me get Olaf of the dime!
We need to untie Ukraine's hands. The U.S. micro managing the war is ridiculous.
shades of Vietnam. The "rules of engagement".
The US micromanaged the Vietnam War from Washington, DC.
We all know how it ended.
Let me micromanage you. How about you report for duty in a trench
@@lorenzcassidy3960 the micromanagement of fightng i Vietnam, stupid as it was, wasn't the main reason the US lost there. The main reason was that the US didn't understand that the Vietnamese were fighting to eliminate foreign influence on their governance, ie. colonialism. The US thought Vietnam was (ala the USSR) trying to spread communism worldwide. It was a grave mistake. After the US left, Vietnam fought the Communist Khmer Rouge and Communist China in 2 separate wars. As for Ukraine micromanagement - I think it will gradually dissipate. All of Putin's imaginary red lines have already been crossed.
@@lorenzcassidy3960 America lost the Vietnam war because in that case, they were the imperialist force trying to dictate what a nation's people could decide for themselves. The US got bored of their efforts and moved on once they realized the Vietnamese were serious about their own sovereignty. Now it's time for Russia to learn this lesson with Ukraine. The Ukrainians are not going to stop fighting. Russia was likely expecting their invasion to go in a similar way as Afghanistan when when the Taliban rolled back, the people realized that they didn't have it in them to fight a group that was culturally and ethnically similar to them, and had more numbers. But the Ukrainians know who they are, they have something to fight for, and they are a strong-spirited people.
Thank you for supporting Ukraine, Anders.

Very well said. There is a but to this.... The west should have just supplied the weapons to Ukraine and let them defend themselves as they seen fit. But, now the Ukraine military has realized how smart of a people they are tech wise. They use old ass soviet tech better than russia does and have developed new tech stuff. The battlefield situation constantly changes. I have a sneaky feeling that the Ukraine army is modifying a few M1 Abrams, LEOs and Challengers. Ukraine was the russian foundry during WW2. Ukraine is great at innovation as we have seen thus far. F-16s are on the way. The mechanics are trained and infrastructure is being built. As Putin is scraping the barrel, Ukraine has 200+ Bradly's and is only getting stronger. "BUT" My personal but is, why the hell has the western nations allowed russia to attack and kill so many civilians and decimate so many villages, towns & city's before we allowed Ukraine to fully attack back.
Ukraine is not supposed to win, that is why the weapons came so slow . F 16 will not do much, Russians have attacked the air field they are supposed to use. F16 is supposed to be working in combination with Awacs, wich means its own radar has shorter range than russian planes. The F16 Ukraine gets are old worn out machines, they will not change anything
Another good, thoughtful analysis. Thank you.
Clear as always. Tak!
Not “a red line that has been crossed” but rather a red line that has been erased.

Thank you 👍🇺🇦❤️✌️
What I wonder about is: Why announce it? Why not tell the Ukranians: Hey, go nuts! And the next day they there will be the announcement that Ukraine is allowed to do it. Or just not say anything at all.
If you announce it, then politicians and the public in other countries will know about it and can pressure the government accordingly. That's important when you're trying to manage an alliance of democratic countries. For example, Chancellor Scholz was being criticized for now allowing Ukraine to strike Russian territory with German weapons. He wants to be able to say publicly that he is now allowing it, but that would have been really awkward if the Americans had kept it secret.
That's VERY likely what happened
Because then it looks like Ukraine isn’t trustworthy. It will make opponents of Ukraine funding in the US say “we can’t give it to them, what if they do something crazy?”, and if Biden then comes out afterwards saying “oh, it’s ok, we had a secret deal” then people won’t believe it and he looks weak.
The thing is, we don't know what we haven't been told. We know Rusha' is losing in slow motion......
They announce it for 2 reasons: half of it is betting on a less erratic Russian response, other half is the domestic situation with Russian dezinfo about world war seeping everywhere the people need reassurances and clarifications from their leaders
The title of this video alone will anger the bots
_You know Rusha' is losing when they have to pay people to claim that they arent._

The video was uploaded when their troll-owners had gone home for the night. There will be a rus-bot invasion in the comment section when their troll-owners arrive at the office tomorrow morning.
Remember to give them a link to Joe Blocks video that talks about the costs of this war to Russia (RUSSIA Posts Massive Financial Loss as Oil & Gas Collapses & Expenditure on War in Ukraine Soars). This video points that Russia is spending three times more that what it earns from oil and gas.

Reality,: US is simply creating deniability. The real message is that Ukraine can do what ever they want, the US is not going to stop sending arms. If something bad happens, the US wants to say, "We didn't authorize that , so it is not our fault." Ukraine needs to understand this and just do what they want.
Thank you Anders!

Good points about the Kharkiv battle front. Thanks.

Another amazing analysis, thank you Sir!
I hope there are no restrictions that would prevent Ukraine from taking down that kerch bridge.
They tried many times ) Hello from Russian Crimea We dont want Ukrainian Nazi here Crimea was Russia, it is Russia and will be Russia Deal with it
That would be a new restriction in that case. Isn't it time to get it a third time soon,. it is long over due.
The Kerch bridge is an illegal construct built on Ukrainian soil, so..
It's sort of moot now, as Russia has built a rail line from Mariupol to Crimea and the GUR stated recently that very little military traffic is going over the Kerch Bridge.
@@nickrailswhile not a strategic target, I think it would still have a significant impact due to the optics. Destroying the bridge brings a lot of morale and signals to outside parties
This was another great video, was looking forward to your response on this, aways so well thought out.
Is there a chance that this position is just the public maintenance of strategic ambiguity? And that in reality there is no practical limitation on Ukrainian use of weapons?
My thoughts exactly. Keeps the rats confused.

On the asymmetric part the Ukrainian line is not shown in full, Ukraine also mann the border with Belarus in case it joins the war on Russias side or Russia attacks through it again.
True.
It is the main thing I don't understand with the Kharkiv and talk of maybe another Sumy attack, Ukraine have large forces tied up on borders where they were not able to be used efficiently.
I keep hearing that Russia has a manpower advantage along the active frontline because it has 4-500k against Ukraine's 3-400k, but that Russia has just around 500k+ in total for the war and Ukraine has 900k active soldiers.
Why allow Ukraine to use its larger force and on defensive actions as well.
I could maybe see an argument for Russia thinking it has a large enough material advantage to believe spreading out would force Ukraine to prioritise supplying some fronts over others, but even if that ended up working the result of that would be a siege of large cities that Russia just does not have the manpower to encircle or fight trough.
Extension of the frontline just isn't something Russia can get a long term advantage off, it allows Ukraine to utilize more men that were tied up and ineffective for the war effort.
Personally I don't see Russia as having a chance to win the war as I hold the 2 key beliefs that Ukraine will never give up and the West will never stop supplying Ukraine, the west will in my opinion just keep increasing capacity and eventually go far beyond what Russia has the capacity for.
But with that note out of the way, if I were Russia and I absolutely wanted to keep going and trying for victory this Kharkiv attack just does not make any sense with the resources dedicated for it.
It has to be just a propaganda move, throwing away resources and putting Russia in an even worse position just to show that it is still capable of taking territory.
Whether to show Ukraine/The West, internal population or both how Russia is still "winning", some commander wanted to show off how good he was or to show that it is taking the incursions into Belgorod seriously idk, but it definitely is not because it is a viable offensive.
@@freedomfighter22222
even if it sounds a bit infantile:
I think the Russians are just no smarter or better than what we've seen so far, they're just shitty at what they do (and for that I'm grateful)
bad strategy, bad tactics, bad logistics, bad morale (although strangely willing to constantly sacrifice their lives), bad equipment...
Every now and then they adjust a bit when one of the few halfway competent officers gets an inspiration (deep defensive lines, crazy dense mine belts, massive use of glide bombs, how the Ukrainians use more drones) but for the most part it's like just armed barbarians with no organization or plan running in the hope that the enemy will run out of ammunition before they run out of men.
@@freedomfighter22222 Good points. Concerning _"maybe another Sumy attack"..._ - Zolochiv.
Keep an eye on Zolochiv. N-W of Kharkiv, 20 km from the border, center of the pocket or "bubble" that swings into the russian region of Belgorod. 10,000 inh. so the size of Vovochansk to the N-E of Kharkiv, or Avdiivka. The russians have amassed troops around the pocket. Ukraine 2 days ago started to evacuate the civilians from the town. That's several days after W. countries and 2 days after USA allowed weapons to be used inside russia. Despite this, the russians are planning something. This is the earliest I've seen the Ukrainians evacuate civilians until now. They are expecting something, and I guess something big.
Russia can create all the buffer zone it wants. In Russia.
Fantastic thanks again
Thx! Makes sense!
They already are. Ukraine obliterated a Russian armored column last night with US missiles. Russian forces were concentrating in Kursk for a push into Sumy but got fragged before ever making it onto the battlefield.

Not slowly. It was rather swift to put pressure on the US.
Excellent insight Anders. You have a valuable point of view.
Thanks
Why is there such a disparity between what you predict will happen and what is currently going on right now? The Russian offensive has momentum at the moment, that’s the consensus as far as I can tell. If Ukraine wants to win they need to break the advance too, not just take out specific targets of opportunity. As far as I can tell, they have a significant manpower shortage to hold lines.
Where Britain leads, America follows. Again.
My optimistic take is that the UK and the US are coordinating on this. The UK, being smaller, is maybe less of a provocative target for Russia than the US. The UK also hates Russia possibly even more than the US does, so they're happy to be the 'escalation guinea pig' so to speak. After the red line has been firmly crossed, the US feels free to put their weight behind the latest status quoJust NATO allies playing to each others' strengths.
And Germany brings up the rear
Actually you got it wrong... America is the dog, Britain is the tail... where the dog goes, the tail follows...
@@anglaismoyen This is actually a good point. Heck, before Britain it was the Baltic states doing the initial push. So, it might well be a stratigic manuever on the Allies part.

Thanks Anders, always 'helpful and informative.'
At this point, restrictions are bs. It seriously makes you think the US wants Russia to stay in the fight.
As a counter-weight to China; supposedly that’s the ‘logic’ of the Biden Administration.
Kind of. But the White House also doesn’t want Russia “to win”. They’re trying for something like a calibrated defeat it seems.
It feels to me the US is being very reactive. Not just in this crisis but in others they just want to put a lid on any boiling pot and hope they stop making noise without some grander strategy.
Weakness invites escalation. Not the other way around.
thanks for your work, sir!
Again.. clear , and easily understandable … thank you.
In a sense, Kharkiv turned out to be a bear trap. It's now the worst place for the Russian military to be, because it's more or less the only place where they can be "followed home". They would be less vulnerable almost anywhere else ... YET THEY CAN'T LEAVE. On top of that, as long as they're there, the war is happening on Russian turf, which will draw soldiers out of Ukraine - an incredible reversal.
If this wasn't the work of some brilliant strategist, it's amazing serendipity.
More like a rat trap
But no one complains. Ukraine is receiving anything but what the US active military uses. It's all either old surplus, replaced or discontinued items. Granted these items are effective but they are not what the US military would use in a war.
A) If you were the US, would you hand over all your current equipment to anybody and degrade your overall combat capability, particularly when the threat of conflict in the Middle East in the coming year is real?
B) Do you really think the Ukrainians could even use half of this equipment effectively in anything less than a year at best?
@@awlhunt > B) Do you really think the Ukrainians could even use half of this equipment effectively in anything less than a year at best?
Yes. You are right that they could probably not use the latest advanced aircraft efficiently straight up.
But a lot of what the US has and could give is just 'more-of-the-same' of what they already handed over in smaller amounts. So Ukraine can use more ammunition, more Patriot systems, more missiles, more tanks, more artillery, more money. All of those should be fairly easy to make use of.

Anders, Canadian aid ha never had any restrictions. We don't expect a person to fight a battle with his nuts tied to his forehead.
are you just bored in the woods ther or why do you love war so much?? insane! what a dumb colony!
Unfortunately, Canada does not deliver cruise missiles or even fighter jets to Ukraine.
The UK never had restrictions either and Storm Shadow could be used. That's why NATO called out the UK explicitly for leading the way on this decision
@@mstevens7175 Yes, and thanks to the UK for that. It's not only absurd to give Ukraine weapons and then tell them they can't use them where the enemy is. It's also absurd to tell the Ukrainians they can't use them "inside rusha", not because of anything with the Ukrainians, but because of the relations we try to have with rusha. Because, as much as noone else recognises it, rusha illegally annexed Crimea in 2014 and four more Ukrainian regions in autumn 2022, so from a rushan perspective Western weapons have been used against and even fired from "inside rusha" for a very, very long time. For the rushans it doesn't matter if it's inside Kherson, Donetsk, Belgorod or Kursk. For them it's all inside rusha. So handcuffs off and let the Ukrainians fight the way they need to fight. And thanks to the UK.
