Holding Russian territory, losing Ukrainian ground | Ukraine This Week 

I was in Kyiv last week and I was impressed by how the people there handled the situation.

Very honest and coolheaded ! Respect

Another good video, Anna. Good summery.

Thanks for sharing this information.

The truth is that Russia never had any red lines.

Yes Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen Is Right ! Lets Stop Talking About Red Lines And Give Ukraine The Green Lights !

Slava Ukrani! Heroyam Slava!

Гарна промова леді Фредеріксон.

Congratz, I see you drawn a lot of Putin trolls to your content. It means it makes a difference.

Is there a way for foreign "influencers" to work with you? I'm Lithuania and I'm thinking about giving a shot to this RU-vid thing. Specifically focus on war in Ukraine and from there roll into geopolitics of USA, Germany, Scandinavians etc. My main concern at the moment is that we don't have fair use laws, therefore I can't use related footage, I need licensing, which I can't afford. By any chance do you guys have some sort of video footage library that is copyright free and anyone can use?

The entire world needs to study and understand the daily crimes by Rusty Mir. Only then will they stop trying to keep status quo of the past and act to fully stop these attacks. Like by removing restrictions and stop keeping this an asymetrical struggle. And then they will learn to Be Brave Like Ukraine.

I am a great supporter of Ukraine from the UK but when are more fighting age Ukrainians going to volunteer and support those men and women who've been fighting on the front line for years now...too many Ukrainians not doing their bit for THEIR country...there is no excuse for this and will lead to a lot of bitterness when the conflict is finished.

This would be equivalent to Mexico invading the US. It's not only incredibly embarrassing for Putin but also demoralizing for the Russian military.

Great coverage. Perhaps the behaviors of Kyiv, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine's allies make more sense if Russia is preparing a major coordinated push towards Kyiv in December. Ukraine is building northern fortifications and creating a huge buffer inside Russia, but it may not have enough resources to hold both Donetsk and defend against a massive 2nd attempt at a coup de grace.

thanks babe

So Zelenskyy is the president for life ?

You should probably get out of Kiev Anna. Zelensky kicked the hornets nest

Ukrainian Napoleon...

The military doesnt need to justify its tactics. WTf is wrong with you guys

Gaining in kursk and losing in Ukraine soil is may be a military strategy.let us wait and see the impacts.

I appreciate the fact-checking on Zelensky’s claims. I guess politicians share some “commonalities” in all countries 😁 Stay strong. Glory to Ukraine

Please stop your highly polished school project and join the front. Shame on your male colleagues for not supporting US interests with their lives while pretending this is about Ukraine. General Zelensky seemed really mad at your "reporter" for not being a corpse on the front. But your "reporter" replied very obediently to his questions. Glory to Ukraine!

"Victory plan?" Ukraine is in no position to declare any kind of "victory" in the near future. But it's good that Zelensky is framing whatever concession plan he comes up with as a Victory" for Ukraine. It should make it easier for the common Ukrainian to accept.

Kyiv Independent? Didn't Zelensky ban Independent media? (And elections).

That's why we can't just give you guys our best stuff, if you can't operate it properly what is the point.

Not your best commentary.

Forza Ucraina e putin huilo

Thank you for your input. Slava Ukraini.

But I thought it’s against the law to negotiate with Russia/Putin? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Slava Ukraini!

Since Ukraine pulled elite units from Donbas for its incursion into Kursk, the Russia advance has accelerated. “I’ve never seen such speed [in a Russian advance],” the commander of a Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance unit fighting in the area told The Telegraph this week. “It is very rapid. And our problem is the same: we don’t have infantry; we don’t have enough artillery or shells. We don’t have enough drones.” “The Russian forces has deployed powerful electronic warfare units, so we sometimes have to launch 10, 12, 15 just to destroy one tank. If one of them was lucky enough to find the first EW vehicle, we could take out the rest. “The situation is very complicated, and not in our favour. The most critical thing for us now is the large number of soldiers of the Russian Federation. They outnumber us I reckon by at least five to one.” Over the past three weeks, the Russians have advanced at least five miles towards the city, moving along the cutting of a railway line that provides cover for their infantry. By Tuesday, they had captured a third of Novohrodivka, a town astride that railway line. By Friday, Novohrodivka had fallen completely. Battles are ongoing “on the left if you look from the enemy towards Pokrovsk” in an apparent attempt to bypass the suburb of Myrnohrad, where the urban environment might slow them down, the commander said. “They are trying to break through this flank, basically along the track to the Pokrovsk, and they are succeeding and very successfully,” he added. The Centre for Defense Strategies (CDS), a Ukrainian think tank, said in an assessment on Thursday that the Russians will probably reach the city by mid-September. For Ukraine, that is not good news. If Pokrovsk falls, it will seriously complicate logistics for Ukrainian troops around Toretsk, Chasiv Yar, and the “fortress” agglomeration of Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, and Kostiantynivka. The Russians are also expanding their salient on the flanks. On Thursday, fighting was reported on the outskirts of Selydove, a town southeast of Pokrovsk. To the east of the city, on the Ukrainian left, they have entered Krasnyu Yar and Hrodivka. Those moves threaten encirclement of large chunks of the Ukrainian front to the north, around Toretsk, and the south, around Kurakhove. In other words, the Russians are poised to conquer a significant swathe of Donetsk region - one of their stated wars aims - dangerously jeopardize the remaining Ukrainian footholds and threaten an attack towards Dnipro. This desperate situation appears to be a direct result of Ukraine’s invasion of Kursk in early August. That operation, planned by Gen Oleksandr Syrsky and greenlit by Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, was meant to draw Russian troops away from this front. Gen Syrsky, the commander in chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, admitted this week that the Russians had not taken the bait. While they have moved thousands of troops from other parts of the line to Kursk, on the Pokrovsk front they have doubled down. CDS warned that in the Pokrovsk sector Russia enjoys a 4:1 advantage in forces, resources, drones and artillery, and that it could be assumed the Russians would reach Pokrovsk by mid-September. The Ukrainian withdrawal from Norohrodivka, it noted, “indicates a lack of sufficient resources for defense, even on advantageous lines”. Whatever the outcome, Pokrovsk itself is shutting down, like an organism that knows death is near. Everyone knows what comes next, because it has happened in so many towns before.

I was told the F-16 was ahot down by friendly fire..

Thank you for the overall picture, I'm tired of pro Ukraine channels that only report successes, or western media that only focus on one big story or none at all.
