The once-thriving southeastern territories of Ukraine now resemble a barren wasteland. The military situation in Donbas continues its downward spiral, with Putin directing a significant deployment of forces to the region. Employing strategies akin to terrorist tactics, the Russian army and Wagner PMC face challenges of inadequate supply.
Hobos from Wagner can claim whatever they want, nobody will believe these murderers anyway. We've heard this tune about "Bakhmut is going to fall" for months now. It's just an attempt to demoralize Ukrainian soldiers and clearly it's not working. I'm more than sure that with our continuous and expanding military aid Ukrainian soldiers will be able to hold off russian horde even more effectively.
The battle of Verdun was the longest battle in modern military history Bakhmut is short by about 12 days Truly a historical battle Edit: they still hold a small portion of the city All tho Russian history books might say otherwise
Verdun c'est des millions des morts ,et la Somme est 420.000 britanniques morts, 200.000 français morts et 450.000 allemands morts...alors arrêtez les dire de la merde😢😢😢😢😢
Heart breaking! It's sorta remind us of this forgotten history. 10 years of shelling by Ukrainian troops of territories that did not recognize the Nazi coup D'etat in 2014 with numerous casualties among civilians (14.000 people died). Shelling was carried out mainly non- military infrastructure facilities and villages in the hope of making life there unbearable and encouraging the local population to leave this territory. Their argument (words from a video from a Ukrainian soldier in a trench) is that there are no pro- Ukrainian residents there, pro-Ukrainian people have already left for Ukraine they are separatist, you can kill. All these steps, fatal for Ukraine were made under the influence of Western countries and led the war. Russia made all diplomatic overtures to prevent such a development of events. Minsk agreements ( these are concrete steps to resolve the conflict within Ukraine between the new UN resolution of February 17, 2015 No. S/ RES /2202(2015) adopted for mandatory execution) ignored by Ukraine. Update 1.1.23 German chancellor Angela Merkel, who described the Minsk accords as “an attempt to give Ukraine time” to build up its armed forces. The Minsk agreements were actually a ploy to buy time for the Kiev government to strengthen its military. This move should be credited for Ukraine’s “successful resilience” to Russia in the ongoing conflict with its neighbor. --- STOP READING if you don't have the stomach for it. In December 2021, Russia send Requests to NATO and the US to ensure security for Russia- refusal from NATO and refusal from the US. The question is closed. Russia acted not just logically, but super logically- it began the process of denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine in order to stop all threads. I think the US would not even bother to do so in such a situation and carried out such a thing even if there was a hint of threat. I draw this conclusion on the basis of all the pretexts for starting all military operations on the parts of the US over the past 60 years (and if you dig deeper you can unearth more than one case of far- fetched US military intervention in military conflicts around the world). Everyone remembers about 836(!!!!!!) US military bases around the world?836 Carl!!!. And already in mid-April 2022, in his interview with the BBC, Zelensky said that the country had begun preparing for a clash with Russia since December 2021. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed his(?) plans. According to him, Kyiv was preparing for clashes with Russia long before Moscow announced the start of a special operation. Judging by the state of the Ukrainian army and Zelensky's lack of independence, plans to start a war with Russia came from abroad. " We started this war even earlier", the head of the Ukrainian state said, referring to the beginning of the special operation of the Russian Federation. Thus, he indirectly admits his guilt in inciting the conflict with Russia. Zelensky called pumping Ukraine with Western weapons part of the preparation for the upcoming conflict. At the same time, in addition to public agreements with the US and NATO, Kyiv also conducted closed negotiation with them regarding military assistance. " We non-publicly agreed on certain supplies", ' the President of Ukraine admits in the same interview. This interview of the President of Ukraine, given by the BBC, interested Russian Investigators. Zelensky inadvertently blabbed about what he should have kept quiet about. The head of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin instructed to check the words of Zelensky. He believes that the statements of the Ukrainian leader may fall under the article on planning and preparing an aggressive war. Thus, we can conclude that Zelensky's curators are striving to create such conditions in Ukraine that are guaranteed to draw Russia into a military conflict. And the brother will begin to kill the brother ( historically, this is one people). This is ideal in the eyes of US. With his statement, he only confirm what Russian politicians and experts have always said: NATO was preparing Ukraine for war with Russia. That is, in fact, Zelensky framed his curators. Further more interesting. In April 2022 the US Congress approved the supply of weapons to Ukraine through Lend Lease, but this proposal was submitted for consideration( attention here!). January 19, 2022- almost a month before the start of Russia's special military operations. After all, than no one could predict the development of events. That is, the West was very interested in drawing Russia into the conflict, and he was preparing for this. Everything had already been calculated and the West was sure that Russia would intervene in response to military operations against the Donbass. Ukraine had to start. But Russia preempted it by only a few days,( judging from the documents that Russia got from the Ukrainian headquarters). Thus, many lives of civilians were saved." -R H ⚡️📣In last 24 hours Ukraine has shelled kindergarten, music school, and homes in Donetsk killing and wounding civilians. ⚡️📣Soon Special report on location with full translations. -Patrick Lancaster
Yes Russia is back, they have turned it all around with this glorious victory and will now advance right through Donetsk and then on to take Kiev! The 2nd most powerful military in the world is back in action after they have proven their military prowess & superior fighting skills by taking the high-value town of Bakhmut, the doorway to the Donetsk.
@@Overlorde79 - 100,000 Russians dead & wounded to take a purely symbolic town with no strategic or operational value yet you think this russian death trap was a victory! 😂😂😂
It is not a potential defeat. Its a defeat. Plain and simple. This goes to the core of journalistic integrity; your job is to report on the situation, not to report what one side tells you to.
We don’t have “ Free Press” or “ Free Speech” anymore! Try explaining to people their is no such a ethnicity called Ukrainian and Ukraine has been a Russian states when the Russian Empire first existed 700 years ago ! They will label that hate speech !
you can lose a battle for a city for the larger picture of the war ... in the end the most important thing is that Ukraine keeps building up his armies while wearing down Russias
Is it not possible for journalists to go report on the Russian side ? They seemed so biased , always reporting from Ukrainian side but everything they report always goes the opposite 🤔
Well, so much unconditional loyality allows for brutal tactics. Their morale might be low, but fear keeps them obedient. Maybe this is best called 'archaic'.
@@andreasmartin7942its war, what do u expect ? Be fair gentlemen. America would be willing to go that far to win wars that benefit them. We are all about personal gains, no good or bad here (except when the Nazis invaded everyone) Russian men should be proud of that victory. They won under harsh conditions and their leaders are as corrupt as the Western ones. Only soldiers suffer here, and politicians (and the sheeps) sit in a warm cozy place talking about winning. Ugh, humans.
Cnn operates on a 24h type bs delaying. Some are 72hrs some even forever. Bahkmut fell more than 24h's ago, officially. These guys still trying to debate all of the musicians celebrating in the open 😂
NATO has only given Ukraine 1.75% of its firepower and they have kicked the shit out of Russia with their old bottom of the barrel weapons, not a single tank or jet 😂😂😂

I think the collective west should start developing an armoured Shovel that's if they haven't started . From what we've seen so far ,Shovel is the most lethal weapon in this war or special military operation.
224 days and Ukraine is still holding on. I’d say pretty fucking amazing for Ukraine. Considering how “strong” Russia pretends to be, uses Wagner to make ANY progress. Ukraine will retake that pile of rubble.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope 🤞 this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world 🌎 I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from if i may ask?😊😊😊
Russia will never succeed in fighting for the city, Russian invaders have not achieved visible results in 10 months, because now the Russian army is practically surrounded by Ukrainian military forces, it can hardly be called a success
Both sides? Oh plz. You could say the same about every war ever but you don’t. Why? Because some wars have clear goodsides. I don’t see you saying this about nazis or Isis fighters. Ukrainian soldiers are defending their home. If the Russians don’t like it they can go home.
@@xXmennovichXx there isn’t a clear good side that’s the spin you received on your end. Russia is keeping an enemy nato installation off its border which is an act of aggression and Ukraine is now defending their home for making that deal for financial gain in the first place. The people that die are equal in their loss
@@optimvsprinceps1845 Putin shackled it into three days, as I recall. But I get your point. However, you seem to assume that time is on Russia's side. Seeing how the West is responding ever more forcefully, and how the West seems to be awakening to the danger posed by an unchecked Russia, How countries previously not so ready to jump on the Russian bandwagon are backing further away, I'm inclined to believe that time isn't such a great ally of Russia, after all.
Must be a shock to the people who believed the MSM only a couple days ago. But the shock will quickly wear off, and they'll go back to believing everything the talking heads say. That Ukraine is on the slow march to victory, and that Zelensky is practically a saint
Yes, Ukraine is on the march to victory. The Ukraine counter offensive is about to begin. Ukraine doesn't aim for rinky dink cities like Bakhmut. Ukraine aims for big objectives like Kherson capital city or Izium/Lyman major rail hubs. Bakhmut is small potatoes.
@@Azula01 So tell me, why should I weep over the fall of Bakhmut? How is this bad for Ukraine? It's a small city of 70,000 no different from other small cities. If that's a big loss, then you should explain why.
@@lambertlum1087 unfortunately this small city was heavily fortified, and was the only fortified city remaining for russia to take all of donetsk and a pathway for kharkiv to fall that's why both side threw everything to this small city.
Prygozhyn says of them are dead: what for, exactly? Do explain what they achieved for Russia? Explain the strategic gain from demolishing this small town. They can’t even camp in the ashes, there’s too much phosphorous (yet another Russian war crime). How does this 10km advance benefit Russia, since it cost 100k troops in this district over the past year? Why was it worth hundreds of tanks, to a country that cannot spare a single modern tank for the “victory” parade in its capital city?
@@eh1702 to answer your question in short. They reduced the effectiveness of the Ukrainian army significantly. over 40+ regiments + brigades took part in the battle of Bahkmut against a private military group....alot of casualties from both sides but ukrainians suffered more due to Zelensky PR stunt of holding Bahkmut. Taking Bahkmut opens up Chasiv Yar, Kramatorsk, Sloviansk, etc. which are key cities that have more significant value than bahkmut. also about incendiary munitions used in bahkmut it is not considered warcrime if MILITARY personnel are deployed in those areas you can research it yourself.
@@eh1702 Where did you get this number from? Do you believe Biden? And it does not matter that Bakhmut was destroyed, the importance of Bakhmut lies in the fact that it is the only gateway to Sloviansk-Kramatorsk, the two largest cities in the Donbass, and also the only two remaining cities under the control of the Ukrainian forces. If Bakhmut were not so important, Ukraine would not have bothered to preserve them. Wagner did a great job. And stop taking casualty figures seriously, this is just psychological warfare
@@adrianacanavati8212 ", in general it’s a sad situation to everybody" I agree onehundred percent. The only persons winning might be XI of China and Arabian Oil Sheikhs who reaped the enhanced prices and got less Russian competition.
This is really sad . Idk how any war can be fought properly in this day and age . God I mean the press if filming every second of the day and talking about every plan and what’s coming next ect and what to expect. This social media era has changed everything . Like what ever happened to the element of surprise .
Well, the Ukrainians kept talking about an offensive vs Kherson, the Russians obliged them and put more troops into that beartrap, then they crushed the bridges across the Dnepr to starve out those troops and attacked in the North, almost a thousand km away so that the Russians could not quickly redeploy. Masterfully executed a brilliant plan via "maskirovka".
🔥💥🌍 While the Battle of Bakhmut is undoubtedly significant, comparing it to the Battle of Verdun raises intriguing discussions. The length of a battle alone doesn't define its historical importance. Each conflict has unique circumstances and impacts. Exploring the narratives, strategies, and consequences of both battles offers valuable insights into the complexities of warfare. Let's delve deeper into the historical context and delve into the experiences shared by Ukrainian soldiers in this thought-provoking video. 🎥👨🚀🔍
Agree, Verdun battle had so much more detail and nuance into it because there was literally a WORLD WAR and many parallel battles happening on the east and west front that did direct impact on Verdun battle (Somme, Brusilov offensive etc etc). Id compare Bkhmut battle to modern battles like Aleppo, Palmyra etc (in which Wagner was heavily involved as well btw)
As we say in Spanish and specifically in the Río de la Plata (Uruguay and Argentina): a los ucranianos "les está cayendo la ficha". Bakhmut was taken by the Russians. Russia won the Battle of Bakhmut. End of the story.
Ok? Why you riding the Russian’s D so hard tho? Are they WINNING the war tho? Have they TOOK all of Ukraine yet? Did they taken MORE Ukrainian lives than the they LOST themselves? No. Just saying 🤷♂️
@@georgialeksandrov2080 😆 if that's what helps you sleep. The only tactical value of bakhmut was to disproportionately kill orcs. Who said the counter offensive was supposed to be in February other than you? Remember the last time that desperate putin trolls giggled about a counter offensive, and then the orcs ran for their lives from Kherson, simultaneously becoming the biggest donor of military equipment to Ukraine? Sources on "40,000 kia"? That sounds like something a desperate putin troll would literally make up.
⏳🔥🛡 While the Battle of Verdun holds its place in history as one of the longest battles, it's fascinating to witness the intensity and endurance displayed in the Battle of Bakhmut. Each battle carries its own significance, showcasing the resilience and sacrifices made by soldiers. Examining the historical context, strategies, and impacts can deepen our understanding of warfare. Let's delve into the complexities of these battles, appreciating the valor and exploring the lessons they offer. 🏰🌍👥
To get a real picture about what's going on in Ukraine, Jake, you have to ask Doug McCregor, Seymon Hersh, Scott Ritter...Your audience will thank you for that.
What has Russia won in the pile of rubble it made? What is the victory? What is gained? How does it benefit Russia to have thrown away 100k Russian lives in this region for this valley of dust? Do please explain. What is their tactical or strategic advantage from it?
And Russia was defeated in Hostomel, Kiev, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson and Vulhedar. And really fast, really badly, embarrassingly. It didn't take months and 200k Kia.
@@MJ-sq6el I should as you clearly believe in fiction. But in saying that, the naive, scared and gullible believed Ukraine was winning this conflict.............lol. Harden up sook.
LOL bro, do you have any idea how many men the Russians lost? The Wagners were literally climbing over dead bodies, and if they tried to retreat they would be shot and killed.
@@alekshukhevych2644 it doesn't matter wagner are private mercs while ukraine lost trained military men the real lost land wise and men wise is on ukraine here russia has been using mercs and prisoners alot in this war to weaken ukrainian army men who have been training for years
Please do explain the importance of Bakhmut, a smallish town, as a victory. What has pounding it to rubble gained Russia? Is it a major city? No. Have they gained the use of some major feature of terrain? No, it sits in a valley, overlooked by the fortified heights on the west. What is its value? 100k Russians died in this district - Putlerite corpses outnumbe its former inhabitants - for what benefit to RuZZia? And why do you need to pretend you’re Chinese? Is it because RuZZia can’t even *pretend* to have any other “friend”?
@@eh1702 Don’t ask me. Ask Zelinsky why he put more than 100 brigades, tons of NATO resources to an “insignificant small town”. The Bakhmut defence line that Ukraine has built for 10 years is only for a small security company called Wagner, right ?
Bakhmut must be the first battle in history where a fully professional army funded with billions of dolars and armed to the teeth by NATO and its 31 member countries, is defeated by a private military company; manned by Russian prisoners and headed by a restaurant chef :)
Definitely not the first battle in history like that, this is called a Pyrrhic victory. They’ve gained practically nothing and lost 100 k.I.a. It’s taken them almost a year to capture this small insignificant town. Go ahead and pat your boys on the back all you want to, they’ve done nothing.
@@ckeith3009 @cke. We have been informed by president Biden ( in Japan) that Russia has paid an enormous price . Who would question this narrative? Not me! I believe subsidized corporate media is telling us the truth !

Yes, the orc empire hot trolled: and they got shown that they’re not the only country that can continually threaten to cause nuclear mayhem. But the funniest thing is Zombie indignation that an enemy dared to cross a border Russia insists doesn’t exist. Now they have to at least make a display of policing this border they say doesn’t exist. Which will cost them some resources.
it does not seem any more important now to me, its still a tiny coal mining town that russia struggled to take for 10 months, losing ungodly amounts of soldiers, and still the only way they could take it was by bombing every square meter leaving nothing but rubble and wasting millions of artillery making holes in dirt.

Respect is due where respect is due. Congratulation after almost 1 year and with more then 150% casualties then the population (70k) of Bakhmut. Waiting for Zaporizha my friend.

Every single one of these soldiers will have PTSD. This trauma will pass down for generations causing all kinds of mental health issues not just for these soldiers but their kids and grandkids and great grandkids. That’s how trauma works.

My grandfather had it worse. After his seventeenth birthday he was drafted. Into the Waffen-SS. If you refused, there would have been bad repercussions for him and his family, so he went. He (thought he) got lucky: he was posted to France. In spring of 1944. He was with the division in Arnhem they dropped tenthousand British and Polish paratroopers on (Operation Market Garden - "One Bridge Too Far"). Sometimes they could get resupply from the air drops, sometimes they fought hand to hand cause both sides were out of ammo. He was "lucky" that he had a good commander that held the unit together and they withdrew orderly to Berlin, where he was captured by the Red Army. (He was really lucky that they were not executed immediately as usual and could escape via an underground tunnel) He swum the Elbe river and walked to get home back to Silesia. His parents farm (150 hectares) was taken over by some Polish dudes, luckily he spoke Polish because they traded (smuggled) across the border and they told him where his sister went. He hid for a time to burn off the Blood type tattoo that would have identified him as a "war criminal" (according to US sources, HIS ENTIRE DIVISION did not commit a single documented war crime. And the British paras who got captured testified that they were treated exemplary. But membership (repeat, he was forced!) of the SS was enough). After the war, he got no compensation (pension , medical, nothing!) for his service. No compensation for the family farm, car, lifestock,... stolen. My grandparents were good people who had not voted for either the reds nor the brownshirts nor any other extremists. They lost everything. And then they got told how evil they were.

I think ukrain prepared for this war since the 2014 with its nato allies and bhakmuth battle took more than 10 months if im correct. How naive you are if you think that ukrain will takeback bhakmut in few days. Disclaimer - i dont support ukrain invasion or an any invasions like the middle eastern invasions by nato & USA. But im not a naive person who feed on propaganda.
nato your arse. If Nato lifts a funger, RuZZia is toast! The slave-prisoners are mostly dead. They moved 10km in ten months. Explain what BENEFIT they gained for Russia. Bakhmut is rubble: artillery and airplanes demolished the entire small town. What now? How does RuZZia build onnthai great victory? What does it enable?
