Ukraine War Update NEWS (20240513a): Pt 1 - Overnight & Other News 

cheers matey

That is partially because Russia is losing refining ability and has more crude for sale. Greater supply than demand means prices drop.

Hi Bob 👋🇦🇺🇺🇦

@@Frank_van_der_StamHi Frank 👍🏻

Goodnight Bob ❤ ✨

@@surpriseitsus9622 Too late, it’s morning now 😀 but thanks for the thought ☕️🫖

@@bobrichards6696 OH no, I was quick too ☺ Good morning Bob 🤗 ☕

I didn't know i agree but I hope you are right.

@@whatnowstinky Dear Stinky , we are all unsure of what will happen as this war continues. My personal guess is that large cracks will start to form in the rus forces from the end of June onwards. Especially in their artillery and logistic components; let us hope so.

​@@clivedunning4317gotta love the Kremlin eating itself

Too small. 50,000 is a spoiling attack. At the beginning of the war, before defenses were built and Western aid had poured in, it would have been enough to close the gap to Kharkiv. It didn't. They never reached Kharkiv. Now, 50,000 will cover the gray zone and give a larger daily loss on both sides, but no real progress.

I agree I have said the same.

good luck mate! 👨‍🎓

Good luck and congratulations 🎓 ❤🤗

Hi Louise 💐

Funnily enough, i am almost out. Thank you!!!

*_THANKS, Louise!_*

Happy Monday Peter. I'm early, please don't faint 😂 ❤

Hi Jason ❤

@@surpriseitsus9622 Good Morning!!!! Already on Part 3!!!!

@@surpriseitsus9622 Thank You!!!! Very Much so!!!😉😇😉

@@surpriseitsus9622 So I think that Target is going to have to wait for F-16s to come into play! It's going to need to be done like JP said about Wild Weiselling and draining the system and then hitting it. I don't think they will use the Aircraft they have now even though we can. But it be much more dangerous than in F-16s! F-16s best jobs are SEAD (Supresion of Enemy Air Defenses), Dog Fighting which I really don't see happening, cause their next best job is BVR (Beyond Visual Range) air to air engagements without getting within seeing distance! From what I hear the News was passed up, but I was told by some it won't be done yet! But that means nothing really! They wouldn't tell me when they would do it anyway!

Hi Richard 🤗

@@surpriseitsus9622 Hi Lynn😀

Good morning ☕

Exactly😂

MRA - mobile reactive armour

The logs weren’t for armour, they were for vehicle recovery. The Americans used them for protection from HEAT rounds.

DUH... they have been doing that for a long long time.

Yes I fully agree, max 5000km from the borders would be OK.

Absolutely right 👍

Yes the West is far too restrictive and also only reactive in this war. Should provide a no fly zone with anti air systems from Poland over western Ukraine for years and send engineers to help repair damage Russian missile strikes have done....

@@rofferuff489, How about no limit?

Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉

👍👍👍👍

🥇 ❤ well done Gary

If he’s Russian and at the top, he is corrupt. That’s how Russia works.

Well said 👍

Unless your goal is dividing the west instead of just taking Ukraine.

name one good decision

Seems they are giving their least competent people the most power, and we're seeing the effects in the loss stats.

Shoigu is an incompetent clown. Any good decisions would not have come from him, he's only there to shine putins bell.

@@harold22774 Replacing Shoigu, withdrawing from Kherson, building rail logistics to avoid reliance on the Crimean bridge, partial mobilization, massively expanding their production of ammunition. I can go on....

To be fair, compare it with the similar Ukrainian internal shuffles (e.g. Zaluzny, Danilov) and their impact.

I'm starting to think he requested to be moved him self, to avoid being the scapegoat when anything goes wrong.

​@@lassebodilsenlol too late 😂

@karsten11553 Yes it is! a great comment with good spices also makes you laugh at the Russian madness! Haha..hah..aah!

thats why ukraine has been building their own armaments ,the uk said it can use their weapons to strike into russia and so has france ,

u think so huh? Wow ... 😑

​@@LumenMichaelOnebased on the figures given, 500000-484000=16000. The figure we're for 11th May which means 20 days left. 16000/20 =800 per day to hit 500K. They have been exceeding 800/ day for some time now so based on current trends it is statistically very possible

@@nikosg1386 troll

Rick! It gets so frustrating when you choose studio converts people's names into other codes or profile names.

@@ATPGeo hi Jonathan, could you elaborate on your message? I feel like such a noob, but I do not understand the meaning of it.

direct hit with

an artillery round.

Yeah, I think this can be seen in two ways that give opposite conclusions. First, He's not a military man and therefore oops. Second, he is an economics and that means that there is a strong chance the military industrial complex gets a kick up the backside and is able to work in a more integrated fashion with the military.

@@ATPGeo The other side of kicking industry in the butt to produce more is the businesses he will be pressuring (and possibly taking over) are owned by the elites. He can't squeeze too much more out of the military industry. Word is they are already running 24/7 and are expansion limited by technology blockade, and available workers. The top down central planning model this guy is trained in is diametrically opposed to what the Russians need. They need a responsive nimble industry, with technicians working on the front lines with soldiers to innovate and create new weapons that give the Russian soldiers an advantage.

I hope that this is tongue in cheek otherwise this is the most stupid comment I have read this week. Metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech that, for rhetorical effect, directly refers to one thing by mentioning another. It may provide clarity or identify hidden similarities between two different ideas. Metaphors are usually meant to create a likeness or an analogy.

I love the idea of russia being secretly ruled by a cabal of putin lookalikes. 😆

Not bad at all for the first video 💪

they've just lost a Ka-52 in avdiivka today.

@@ATPGeo Awesome! Well done, Ukraine!

They got decimated and then withdrawn.

@@ATPGeo Why hasn't the number changed in the helicopter losses since (at least) the 9th of May?

It would be nice to know, but unfortunately no one is publishing numbers for Ukraine losses. So we only get the occasional trolls claiming "they already lost more than 500k men" or "they are losing a 1000 people a day".

No. There is not a source to provide figures, try the other bots. Lol. Slava Ukraine.

Nope that’s why I take these numbers with a grain of salt. Apparently the Kharkiv front is lacking any solid fortifications for the defense so is the MOD upping the #’s to downplay the reality? Even if it they are over calculating 30-40% that just means this war will last longer than people think.

There is no public numbers for Ukrainian casualties but after watching literally thousands of videos of combat footage from both sides iv come to the conclusion that Ukrainian figures for inf and armour are pretty close. My estimates are between 4 , 6 - 1 in Ukraines favour for inf. I think it's far higher for armoured vehicles

@@John_shepard there are good fortifications closer to the city. Which the muscovites haven't reached. Slava Ukraini

😂😂😂😂 you shitting me??

Oil is natural and is biodegradable and is a contaminant too. You might be interested in the article: "Converting vegetable oil contaminated soil into fertile land.": Most places in India Palm oil wastes are dumped into fertile lands taken on lease by the production units. The solid substances of these landfills can be often converted into fertilizers, bioenergy etc. After either treating of waste or relocating of waste leaves behind its oil residues Thus creating oil contaminated soil which is completely infertile and shows no existence of insects or worms in the soil. This soil can take a minimum of 5-6 years to recover based on the level of contamination. *** Or check the Advances in Microbiology journal article "Bioremediation of Vegetable Oil Contaminated Soil with Two Microbial Isolates": Vegetable oil spills are becoming frequent and are potentially more challenging than petroleum hydrocarbon spills. Microbial lipases occupy a place of prominence among biocatalysts and are often used for the remediation of vegetable oil spills. There is a need for extensive characterisation of lipase for the treatment of vegetable oil-polluted sites. This work was carried out to monitor the degradation pattern of vegetable oil. Two microbial isolates previously isolated from an oil mill in Ibadan, Nigeria were used for the bioremediation experiment. Soil samples (with some purposely contaminated with 2 different vegetable oils) collected from the Nursery section of the Microbiology department as well as soil samples from the oil mill were all subjected to varied treatment processes. Field bioremediation using the isolates was carried out for 12 weeks. The isolates were identified, and microbial load and residual oil weight were determined during the degradation period using standard methods. The two isolates were identified as Pseudomonas fluoresecens and Candida parapsilosis. The result of sterile soil samples with and without mixing option, from palm oil and palm kernel purposely contaminated soils for all the various treatments, showed a general increase in total viable counts from the 2nd week to the 12th week, however in the non-sterile counterpart there was a steady increase from the 2nd week to the 8th week and subsequently, a gradual decrease from the 10th to the 12th week. The residual oil weight in the sterile purposely palm oil-contaminated soil, treated with the consortium (POC) non-mixed gave a reduction of value from 0.335 g on day 0 to 0.13025 g by the 12th week. From the oil mill non-sterile, treated with (POC) non-mixed sample, the residual weight after 12 weeks of treatment was 0.0043 g from an initial weight of 0.01 g. The microorganisms Pseudomonas fluoresecens and Candida parapsilosis had the potential for the degradation of fatty waste. They could therefore be employed in the environmental cleanup of the vegetable oil spill sites. *** Or check the LACCEI journal article "Vegetable oil contaminated area: site-specific bioremediation treatments.": The environment is negatively impacted by occasional discharges from industrial activity. When these events contain insoluble compounds such as fats and oils, they are high impact pollutants. This work focuses on an environmental problem in the industrial area of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where a lagoon was contaminated by vegetable oil residues. The aim of this work is to study bioremediation strategies in order to propose solutions for the remediation of the lagoon. For this way, autochthonous vegetable oil degrading bacteria were isolated from Lagoon 3, and the conditions to produce bacterial biomass were evaluated. Then, through microcosms systems using contaminated coastal soil, different site-specific treatments were tested: a control as natural attenuation; a bioaugmentation treatment with autochthonous vegetable oil degrading bacteria; two biostimulation treatments with nitrogen and phosphorus, and with spent mushroom substrate. Although both bioaugmentation and biostimulation showed promising results, biostimulation with N, P was the most effective for site-specific bioremediation of Lagoon 3, achieving 67% of oil vegetable reduction at 60 days. *** You're welcome.

@@ATPGeo If you don't believe me when I say that vegetable oil is biodegradable just pour some onto your lawn and see if it is still there in a year or so, or wheather your lawn has turned yellow. If that is against the law in England, I will do it for you I am a scientist in Germany and scientists do experiments, right?

@@ATPGeo Vegetable oil does not contain contaminants. You can cook with it or drink it. If it were not fit for purpose they wouldn't allow us to buy it. I have been using it for more than half a century.

@@ATPGeo There is a difference between saying "vegetable oil is a contaminant", by which you give it a predicate or attribute, and the concept of " vegetable oil contaminated soil" (see your first sentence) in which the contamination is a predicate of the soil. The first proposition is not necessarily true as a generalisation because we eat vegetable oil and it doesn't contaminate us. If it is old oil that has been used for cooking or refined by heating then it might contain all sworts of secondary substances that it has been contaminated with. I can't imagine that this is the case in Ukraine because it is a supplier of sunflower oil. The term contaminated soil is very vague. It can mean anything from mixed with, to polluted by. If I pour a bucket of water onto the patio I have contaminated it. Some microbes will die, others will thrive as a result. I could count the dead ones. But what is the point? The scientific experiments on the toxisity of vegetable oil that you quote are presumably from other parts of the world where largescale dumping of vegetable oil and Palmoil byproducts from the cosmetics industry, not fit for consumption because they are chemically transformed and toxic, are a serious environmental problem. Try to divert your attention from this type of relatively minor environmental issue in Ukraine to bigger issues. For example Asbestos dust. You only need to scratch asbestos cement and it releases thousands of asbestos-dust particles that can kill you in 20 years or so. You look at war foorage from Ukraine all the time. You see those asbestos cement panels being hit by Hymars and drones. It was used in communist countries longer than in the west. It is quite literally on every corner. Fences are made from it too. This is a contaminant that is millions of times more dangerous than a few thousand gallons of spillt sunflower oil. But nobody mentions it. Armies don't have HSEs do they.
