The irony is, that civilian casualties are higher in Gaza than in Ukraine.

@@PonutsAreGreat how shocking, and Putin is wanted by ICC not Netanyahu

​@PonutsAreGreat No they're not, that is a blatant lie

@@Dale-dh9zd Number of civilian deaths in Ukraine since February 24 is around 10k. Number of civilians death in Gaza by November 7 was already more than 10k due to indiscriminate bombardment of densely populated areas.

because they now have to admit Ukraine can never have possibly won and all the propaganda reporting to date was complete bull shit. Duh. They want it to slip out of the public conscious. Pretty obvious really.

The 400 million they were given to fund Ukraine's propaganda ran out.

Peace talks are allready up at top levels around goverments. Summer offensive have been a clear failure. Zelensky if facing an uphill walk.

They have to serve their Israeli bosses.

Netanyahu did not stand with Ukraine. He was afraid of antagonizing Putin. Yet Putin received a Hamas delegation a few months before Oct. 7th terror attack on Israeli civilians.

What you have to say about those policemen that spoke russian to the civilians?

...Ukraine has been bombing Donetsk constantly from 2014...every day...from Avdivka city ...not a word!!

"How long can Ukraine depend on the West" is completely wrong narrative and wrong question, because 1/ Ukraine IS the West and DE-FACTO it is already NATO 2/ Ukraine IS PROTECTING the West from russian aggression as we speak. Don't take my word on it, just ask Finland, Sweden, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Moldova, and others. Giving Ukrainians weapons, most importantly now, long-range missiles and contemporary planes in a drip-drip-drip manner, and expecting them to quickly beat russia, is a sign of cowardice or insanity, if not both. Glory to Ukraine! 💙💛 🇺🇦🇺🇸 ✌

Donetsk voted for freedom and self-determination .

Amen.

Just a matter of time

When Bakhmut fell, many military experts here in the west were saying that Bakhmut was not the strategic hub that the Russians were claiming and that Avdiivka was much more important strategically. So now, I'm assuming that Avdiivka is not going to be that important anymore, and some other city will become the de-facto strategic hub??

Sorry Tovarisch, but President Zelensky is PRO FREEDOM, something that is unknown in Putin's Russia!@@user-cv8xw8zn5u

Not THAT long, Ukraine only has about 10-20 months worth of manpower left at the current rate of casualties (180,000 in August 2023 according to the US) and they can't keep their eternally-drafted army of all males 25-to-60 forever with only 10 days leave, and spending weeks in the trenches unable to rotate. The French in WW1 had 30 days leave, only 4 days a week in the trenches, and 3 year service limits (light at the end of the tunnel) and the news that America was joining the war to keep spirits high and STILL they had half their army mutiny. The Germans with 3 year service limits also experienced severe mutinies. Ukraine has fought admirably with a 1.5 to 1 kill ratio, but they needed a 4-to-1 kill ratio (the Germans had a 4.5 to 1 kill ratio against the Russians in WW2 and still lost). It's only a matter of time until either the manpower losses or massive mutinies bring the war to an end. That's why Zelensky just declared he's banning democracy and cancelling all elections (keep in mind Iraq and South Vietnam held elections at the height of insurgenices that attacked polling places so there's no excuse) and yesterday Zelensky started yelling that anyone thinking of launching a "2nd Maidan" was a Russian agent, basically trying to pre-emptively declare any protestors against him as spies because he's clearly anticipating massive protests coming soon. It's not looking good.

To clarify, Ukraine is losing such forces at a the current rate that they will lose all their reserves and start being unable to reinforce positions in about 10-20 months (I didn't mean to say they'd lose ALL their forces, just enough that they lose their ability to rotate troops or reinforce positions as needed if the Russians launch a large offensive). Possibly sooner. We are seeing Russia begin their typical winter-spring offensives. Every summer-fall is Ukraine's turn as they have favorable conditions in those seasons, while the winter favors the Russians heavily (much easier to spot enemy forces, they can cut off Ukrainian energy grid, though last year's mild winter saved things for the EU and Ukraine). Many Ukrainian leaders are fearful that Russia has been stockpiling missiles (they've been launching very few the past 6 months) to overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses in the winter. It's very likely that's the case (as Russia probably learned that's a better approach than what they did last year). If Russia can overwhelm Ukraine's energy grid, the cold Ukranian mothers and wives and daughters are very likely to get off their rears and start a massive protest in Kyiv that topples Zelensky. Hence Zelensky's warnings yesterday that a 2nd Maidan may be coming but to try to claim that any Ukrainians who protest are Russian agents might not work to silence all dissent while cancelling elections so there's no outlet for people to voice their concerns.

@@TexanIndependence even if he lost an election, the courts would invalidate it because they need to be deemed fair. It cannot be fair under the circumstances making the results non legal. Zelenski doesn’t have the authority to ban elections either. In case of the war ending soon.. it’s going to depend on fighter jets and rockets.. once the threshold is met the western countries will supply heavier force artillery. That’s my guess.

@@benjaminjohnsonboston It wasn't Ukraine...

@DissectGibberish Ukraine was part

The reason why it doesn't stack up for you is in causal relationship. You assume that human lives are valuable for russians therefore lots of casualties supposed to start some revolt. It could be true for different countries but not for russia. They have archaic mentality; I can guarantee you that if tomorrow someone there would announce that they won the war, but lost let's say 5 million soldiers dead and twice as much wounded. Majority of russians would ignore deaths of their countrymen and fully focus on celebrating the victory. Most of russians cares only about themselves personally to an extreme extent and about no one else and loves those who bring a sense of importance. They still have that itch after they lost Cold War multiplied by rotted soul as a result of 70 years of communism in ussr. Putin knew it perfectly that's why he could start the war without fear of any serious protests within the country.

​@@user-cv8xw8zn5u A referendum that other democracies know is ilegitimate and of dubious implementation. Do you those who are pro Ukraine would risk staying there and then outing themselves to the regime by voting?

Exactly, especially the banning of opposition media and political parties, as well as fines for the Russian language speak volumes about the level of freedom in Ukraine. Self-determination is when the people of Ukraine decide their own fate, but when pro-American rioters overthrew the democratically elected President Yanukovych, they did not ask the opinion of the people of Donbass and Crimea, who were also the people of Ukraine.

Judging by your picture and your appearance in said comments, I would have to disagree with that observation 🤔

Judging from the comments, Russia spends significant state resources paying trolls to post propaganda on RU-vid and other western social media sites to shift opinion in the west so Russia can continue to loot and plunder Ukraine.

I don't understand this as well. What happened to those bloodlusting Americans and westerners who were so emotional about defeating Russia and aiding Ukraine? They would gleefully celebrate when Russian civilians and soldiers would get killed and now they are nowhere to be found. Either they have accepted defeat and mentally resigned or they are changing their tunes and pretending to be pro Russia now.

The U.S NEVER lost a single battle in Afghanistan 🤣🤣🤣 You couldn't name ONE battle the Afghans won...ridiculous. Why do people even say that nonsense The US left voluntarily. Were NEVER defeated And I live in Europe so have no dog in this fight. It's just categorically WRONG to state Afghanistan beat America when you cant point to a SINGLE battle the Afghans succeeded in

@@TalibanAtrocities Media covered only US verion of Afghan occupation and war efforts and described it as chasing opium gangs but in reality it was a real bloody war where hundreds of tgousands of Afghans fought for liberty and in the end US military had to leave Afghanistan in the same manner as Soviets did.

@@JimmyKingJason The channel name and content are one of the same...and highlight the atrocities committed as a RESULT of America's withdrawal and the Taliban seizing power again in Afghanistan. Not sure where the conflict of interest is for you, from a European producing videos on inhumane acts and the topic of 'Afghanistan defeating America' And nobody disputed America didn't suffer internally, I didn't state that. I said Afghanistan NEVER defeated America, and specifically on the battlefield. Which is a fact I see many of you unable to grasp or accept. America chose to leave, whilst Russia puffed its chest... Don't forget Putin was playing political chess when he lined his troops up on Ukraines border in October 2021...5 months prior to the real invasion. America and Nato members next chess move was to pull out Afghanistan. There is a vast difference between an army being defeated and leaving with his remnants and an army CHOOSING to leave. Thousands???? They (U.S.) lost lil over 2 thousand over 20 years...that's like 100 per year They die at that rate in Ukraine and Gaza every hour...its not even a comparison in losses

@@TalibanAtrocities Semantics -US spent 20 Years and US$2 Trillion to replace the Taliban with the Taliban. You can dress it up how you like but that's a defeat by enemy attrition.US did not fight alone in Afghanistan but with a coalition of the willing just like Ukraine which they will also lose. Ask any US/UK limbless vet with PTSD if Fallujah or Kandahar was worth the fight. Did they return as heroes -no just like Vietnam, a walk of shame.

And it wasn't important by itself. Russians were trumpeting how they would go to Kramatorsk and Sloviansk after taking Bakhmut, and how the whole Ukrainian front would collapse after this. They spent 9 or 10 months and tens of thousands of troops. They finally took it - and have not moved anywhere from there. Same will be with Avdiivka.
