Gee...aside from the fact that going to the Donbas right about now as a Western reporter is a likely death wish (do YOU like your job that much???), & that there's OBVIOUS censorship of the press regarding strategically sensitive information, especially anything in anywhere like real time (do YOU want Ukraine to lose, too?), what difference does the background scenery make as far as the accuracy & information value of the news piece?🙄 For all we know, Lviv was photoshopped/CGI'd behind the reporter & he's actually standing in front of his laptop in a room in the basement of his Mommy's house somewhere in North Minehead...😁

@@joerosen5464 There are plenty of independent western journalists in Donbass on the other side of contact line, but you won't see their coverage in western media because it dosen't fit the western narrative.. They don't want you to know what battalions like Azov, Aidar, Right Sector etc does

Which is not the worst outcome...

Putin accused them of being nazis. Wait until ruski soldiers fall into their hands

Then Ukraine will lose one of their most effective fighting forces ... 😪 Hope they will evacuate just before the fall in some way.

Stay strong doing what? Losing territory and people. You guys need to ask those TV studios warriors to stop and preach peace instead. The Russians were sincere when they open the dialog. Zelenski our dangerous clown think he can manage to involve NATO. Ukraine is losing people and land. That is the bottom line.

no one knows, liars come from all nations and cultures as you should already have learned in life.

My point exactly. It's not that I'm for Russia or the Ukrainians. I'm for peace with both sides. It just offends me to be lied to so blatantly.

Defenders? Of what - a totally homes out and destroyed city? There is nothing left to defend. A good General would know when to quit and give up. The Ukrainians suffer from primitive brain genes - a throwback to their Cromagnon ancestors which are still active in their heads today. The only outcome here is the anihilation of the Ukrainian fighters. It's already game over.

Ukraine could prevent that by agreeing to be neutral, but the US won't allow their vassals to do so, so I suppose the Russians will continue to be slaughtered and lose this war, until they win a complete victory with Ukraine agreeing to all Russian demands that is. Maybe embracing Nazis and slaughtering Ukrainians in Donbass wasn't such a good idea for Ukraine.

TBH I really haven't heard to many numbers for the Ukranian soldiers lost as of late. 12-13k Russian soldiers is a lot, I feel for the young men that Putin told this was just training and sacrificed them in his war on Ukraine, I am sure a lot of the Ukrainians feel the same way but war is war.

Good question? There has not been one report of any dead Ukrainian soldiers? Maybe they are bullet proof or made from think bouncy rubber?

From the media. I get the impression that no o Ukrainian soldier died at all, only civilian death. You think the Russian soldier was train by the same people that train the storm trooper according to the media.

I got interested in one if the intercepted calls “home”, the one where someone is telling folks back home that ‘120 injured went back to the brigade’ (by which I think he meant where they were based) ‘and 350 dead’. I wondered what sort of unit-size he was referring to within the brigade. It seems like it must comprise at least two or three companies, maybe combined artillery + tank or tank + infantry? Or did he mean these were the casualties if a whole brigade, the wounded being sent back to their field HQ?

They are spirit the donot die

Yes if you would listen to MSM would think Ukraine has won every battle but that's far from the truth. If that was the truth zalinsky wouldn't be begging for help every minute. The big part of the problem from Russia is they don't want to kill civilians no matter what the MSM regs say if they wanted to simply just roll over Ukraine they would flatten it out

Unfortunately for you, eastern Ukraine is a flat open battleground where Ukrainian hide and seek tactics will face Russian force multipliers

Иди и помоги им, подними задницу. Там таких умников западных полегло

What are you talking about? All residential areas of Mariupol have been completely cleared of Ukrainian troops.

Tell that to Azov that are trapped in Mariupol for weeks now.

Amen.

You find that when Chicago when people get shot One gets killed 3 injured! This sounds about right.

If nuclear war wasn't a possibility it would be a much easier decision. If was up to me I'd call Putin's bluff. This war would be over as fast as it started.

20 years late if you count just aghanistan war crimes

Because they themselves has done this in the past and intend to do so again. Nobody is at moral high ground here. All are guilty.

Dont watch erstrtn MSM too much You are overdosed

Watch the report by Eva K Bartlet Volnovakha Physician : Ukrainian forces occupied the hospital , mined the ICU entrance

Honestly, it's like watching someone get beat up on the other side of the street and saying, well, I can't do anything until they come and attack me, but here's a tissue. I am appalled at how everyone is so scared of a bully. My mother was just like putin and once I realised what she was and stood up, she lost all her power.

Well,usually nazis end up like that.No surprise there.

We've been having worst wars than that for the last two decades. Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Lybia, they are all in shambles. If you thought the same thing for each of those wars, then ok. But if it took a war on Europe for you to finally feel sensitized by it, then shame on you.

If he had voiced information from Kiev that was different from Ukrainian official sources. He was in no less danger than on the battlefield. Military operations now consist of artillery, air and missile strikes. If you're going to shoot something like this, you need a lot of luck.

You don't get to report from "Russian areas". He might not come back 😁

@@ayoorchethan And yet there is plenty of independent western journalists who does that.. But you won't see their coverage in western media, because it doesn't fit the western narrative

「PATRICK LANCASTERを見習え！」と彼に言いたい😄

@Razvan Razvan non western media source claimed that Ukrainians tried a few times to evacuate National leaders. There might be generals of US and other countries covertly involved there, but evacuation failed after a few helicopters and one boat were destroyed. Someone seem important and /or covert, if so much effort and cost were involved in their rescue

LOL

How do you plan to do that?

The most informed comment of the day. Well stated, I can buy that.

They tried to be get supplied but was hard the Russian army destroyed the ammunition. They have no option now surrender or fight to the last bullet but they are well surrounded .

This is when a international gunrunner step to the plotter an make sales make the impossible seems possible who's said that

The city was bisected last week, and they surrendered. A group of the regular military was stuck with the Azov group and eventually surrendered yesterday or day before yesterday (50 to 60). Azov leaders tried to leave by helicopter and ship but both plans failed. The only ones left are Azov members and they know they can't surrender to the Russians.

There are possibly some high level European officials in the steel factory, they would have just bombed the crap out of it where a lot of soldiers are holed up but they are waiting for the officials to come out, the Ukrainians have sent in 5 or 6 helicopters to rescue these officials but they have all been shot down, the last attempt was about two days ago they tried flying in from the sea but we’re shot down. Probably NATO military commanders that shouldn’t be there.

says something about journalism doesn't it. Next to nothing but rumor from a distance.

would be better for Biden and Putin to talk. Deaths averted is the better aim.

Kyiv is 'almost back to normal' so quickly because the people know it is not the Russians who are trying to kill civilians.

@Devil May Cry 😈 I’d maybe agree with this but Russia just lost another convoy of tanks yesterday! Like a lot of tanks! That’s very costly not only in hardware but also men with three people min per tank! Then I just saw another video showing a different convoy taken out that same day, all heading East. So IDK I don’t think there was much of a agreement in place. If there was Ukraine just cancelled it.

The Russian couldn't take Kiev

@Евгения Едалина yeah that was pretty obvious after the 2nd week!

Western countries need to impeach go brandon. Lock up Zelensky and his death squads. And let Putin liberate the Ukraine. Then bring to light the crimes against humanity that Zelensky has been guarding for fk Biden!

Not just their sovereignty, but their freedom, their future, their existence, theirs and their next generations from being oppressed, subdued, chained and enslaved.

and they will be destroyed on arrival, like all the rest of it. Few of those fresh S-300 systems are already gone, first day they arrived :D

Because we weren’t in a so called hot war with the Soviet Union then ! And it’s obvious the Russians would blow any planes out of the sky and claim the west was dropping weapons!

They did that the first days and all of the paratroopers got captured or murdered ;)

You can try if s400 allow you..what do you think this is disneyland.

That aint a bad idea tbh. Why not have logistic drones? its alreadyd ifficult enough to have manned helicopters fly in supplies. having a logistics drone would be genuinely a good idea.

I have been wondering the same thing. With all the custom-made drones Ukraine has been using so far I would’ve thought they could use them to drop off some supplies. My only guess is that the majority of them are only able to be used right now for recon or possibly to be crashed directly into the enemy or drop down single explosive shots on top of the enemy. Of course they can’t exactly spare them right now to be smashed into tanks and soldiers so I’d imagine they are only able to use them for recon right now. Biggest guess is that deliveries into the city of ammo and other equipment via drones is hampered by the range limitations of any custom-made drones at a safe area to do so, rather than specifically designed military drones. Of course the BT2 has been used so far but I think it’s currently been preoccupied in the rest of the country.

It's not a bad idea for peacetime. In case of war, do not forget that the drone is electronic equipment. Entering the affected area, this drone's electronics would have been burned out by electronic warfare. And in the worst case for you, they intercepted the control of the drone. In this way, copies of American drones are now being made in Iran. A flying camera is a small loss. Complex long-range navigation systems are quite expensive. A large amount of electronics is the Achilles heel of modern technology.

Coz the Ukraine military are surrounded.

Nothing but wait to die or surrender.

The facts are that all residential areas of Mariupol have been cleared of Ukrainian troops.

if Ukraine is a Hero, the flag with USA and Ukraine together will look like A Hero and the ChickenHawk

EU cold

Они своих солдат накормить не могут. Орки от голода ограбили наши магазины.

Because the latest info is that the ukrainian soldiers defending Mariupol is running out of ammunition and its said that 50% of the soldiers there are injured. The city is surrounded. We dont know how far away ukrainian reinforcments are at the moment but its ukrainian officials themselves that just stated that they expected this to be the last battle of Mariupol.

I can't wait to see who is in Mariupol who the Ukes and NATO are so desperate to extract that they send helicopters on suicide missions to try and get them out. I suspect it will be very embarrassing to many of you when we find out who it is.

mmm 'kay but Mariupol is under Donbass army control 98% except one factory. Basically no war in the city now, awaiting for humanitarian convoys from Russia.

Yes, free of neonazis.

The Russian already won the war👍🏼🙂

@Karl Von Eberfeld-Dunquartzhausen what what

Defending what? Marioupol is now 98% in the hand of Russia. If Ukraine has managed to kill 20 000 Russians soldiers how many Ukrainians soldiers have died? If that is the case Ukraine should have been occupying many Russians towns by now. Ukraine could not even defeat the Donbass militias for 8 years let alone Russia. You guys need to start writing to Zelenski to surrender for peace.
