My polite response: @@fabik805, the stance you’re taking is a serious matter. The actions of the Russian military in Ukraine, documented and proven, are not just matters of opinion but of international law and human rights. When one supports a regime that has been linked to such actions, it’s crucial to consider the weight of that support. If you truly stand with Putin’s policies, I urge you to consider the long-standing consequences of such a position. History will remember the choices we make and the sides we take. I hope you'll reflect on the broader implications of supporting actions that have been internationally condemned. I stand for truth and accountability, and I will continue to support Ukraine in their fight for sovereignty and human dignity. Remember, the internet is indeed forever, and our words are a testament to our values and legacies; even if this message only serves to improve engagement and continue the conversation and support. Heroyam Slava! My actual response; (I couldn't decide so thought "Porque no los dos?") No surprises that russia played dirty from the start, but very interesting to see it laid out and the great potential lessons learned. Slava Ukraini! ✊🇺🇦🏴🇬🇧 @fabik805 Oh and fabik; if you have such belief in putin and russia's claims of innocence of war crimes such as the facts discussed in this history video, your glorious leader vlad "the lad" putin is keen for volunteers!

For example in the second Chechen war one of Putin's best generals was captured and rather than accepting that it's war and this kind of thing happens he threatened to level a entire town to the ground if they didnt give that general back. They are russians it's what they do, they won't just torture civilians and pows no no no they will torture their own comrades because russians have no value for human life and they are filled with blind hate because there is very little they actually understand.

The international community was distracted by Crimea and didn't realize that Russia had already started invading Donbas. Now in 2023, Russia is failing miserably at its 2nd attempt to invade Ukraine. The only reason the invasion made it as far as it did in 2022 was because Russia had 8 years to prepare for it. Fortunately Ukraine took those 8 years to prepare as well.

Well it actually seems more like it was a deliberate Ukrainian tactic to trade land for time and not meet the invasion head on but use guerilla warfare to disrupt it and ultimately force them to retreat. The Ukrainians knew that they'd have the advantage in the cities so they let the Russians advance up to the cities where they could easily be halted. From there on sabotage and the weather would do most of the work repelling the most dangerous Russian incursions and in the mean time weapons from the west streamed in. After the front had been contained to a smaller area they could start focusing on more conventional operations, using their new western weapons to gain an advantage.

Hopefully not since TiK is a nutter. Also the point is that they weren't part of the regular Russian army and that often matters when it comes to training, equipment and supply. Russia has begun to integrate them recently but it hasn't gone that well and DNR and LPR units are often treated as second class and used as cannonfodder while getting surplus equipment. Like you wouldn't say that the Muhadjeen were part of the American army even though they were supplied and trained by the US. There's a pretty big difference in how these irregular units are used by the countries supplying them compared to how they use their own armed forces. You might be right that on some level it's bullshit but you can realize that and still use the terms for other reasons.

I’m happy to see a video about The Great Raid of 2014. As others had pointed out, Ilovaisk was an absolute shitshow. The Ukrainians went in to the fight ready for the usual fight against the Separatist Militants only to be basically sucker punched by Russian regulars, then to be shelled on retreat in an agreed Green Corridor. Tragic

Man, this video in combination with some of the other videos of Ukraine's conduct during the 2022 escalation really highlights the evolution the Ukrainian army underwent. During the period discussed in this video the Ukrainians are the ones who get ambushed and take serious losses. You can clearly see how they learned valuable lessons from this and turned that around on the Russians in 2022. Very, very illuminating content! Crystal clear explanation and excellent juxtaposition!

@@TST1998 There are separatists in the region mostly because most of the population are ethnically Russian and consider themselves Russian first before Ukrainian.

Господи, вы вырастите или нет? И перестанете видеть мир в черно-белом цвете? Так называемая "Антитеррористическая операция" проводимая Украиной была преступной, и не освещалась широко в сми. В той войне со стороны Украины в большинстве своей участвовал всякий кримиоогенный сброд за большие деньги и националисты. В народе она была не популярной, и не пользовалась поддержкой. Многих мирных и людей про-российских загубили эти националисты, и это не слова пропаганды, а я пишу от первых уст очевидцев и свидетелей. Украинская власть хотела "без шума" всех непригодных замочить, но помешали это сделать российские добровольцы, и все за это им благодарны.

It's not tragic now, but for a better overview / better understanding of where exactly what took place, it would be more helpful if you zoomed out further from the map. It's tragic that it happened that way back then and that the world didn't react more strongly to it. I've been following the whole history of Ukraine since the Orange Revolution.

Have read bits and pieces of this manouver. Must have been massively stressful charging into enemy held territory like that. But overall the real tragedy was how the Ukrainian High Command failed to understand the threat of direct Russian intervention. I still remember that time those units got decimated near the border and trapped without vehicles. Quite frankly they should never have been there in the first place, the objective of securing the border with such weak forces (without artillery or the right to strike back) was a major blunder. A key example of Ukrainian Generals only calculating the battlefield on the existing situation in Ukraine, and not taking potential/likely Russian actions into account. Ilioviask later became the best known, and perhaps most tragic outcome of this leadership weakness in perception. I remember the shock that went through Ukraine when Russia intervened in Ilioviask. The Generals and politicians (and public) still hadn't grasp the reality of their situation (hence the rather naive belief that with cutting the cities off from Russia that would result in an end to the conflict in a couple of weeks). And the reality was that for each Ukrainian military success Russia simply upped its level of intervention. A process that was to repeat itself up to the battle of Delbaltseve forcing Ukraine to sign up to Minsk II. Thankfully the Ukrainian military seems to have learned that bitter lesson in time for 24 Feb 2024 and they by and large appeared to be prepared for the invasion, even if their politicians were trying pretty hard to ignore the writing on the wall.
