1
00:00:01,020 --> 00:00:04,380
Today I want to summarize everything
that I have been saying for the last
2
00:00:04,380 --> 00:00:08,100
2 months and collect the responses
of various world publications to all
3
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:10,740
those myths "about the failure"
of Ukraine's counter-offensive,
4
00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:14,640
which Russian propaganda through its
numerous sources is trying to put into heads.
5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,100
The strategy of the Ukrainian military does
bring success, write the Western media,
6
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:23,760
summarizing the results of the first
two months of the "counteroffensive".
7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,620
Gathered their main conclusions that refute
Russia's version of Ukraine's failures.
8
00:00:28,620 --> 00:00:32,520
- Ukrainian advances are meager or nonexistent...
9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,380
According to Reuters , in the two months
since the start of the counteroffensive,
10
00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:43,200
the AFU has liberated more than
200 km² - at least 10 km² weekly.
11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,560
- Russian defense lines are insurmountable!
12
00:00:47,460 --> 00:00:51,060
Foreign Policy analyst reminds that
almost daily there are reports of
13
00:00:51,060 --> 00:00:54,780
Ukrainian brigades successfully passing
through the "dragon's teeth" and other
14
00:00:54,780 --> 00:00:59,520
fortifications deep into Zaporizhzhya,
towards Melitopol and Berdyansk, and,
15
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,520
since the beginning of August,
further away from Staromayorsk,
16
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,600
driving a wedge between the so-called
"Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics".
17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,960
- If Ukraine's offensive is
slow - consider it gone.....
18
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:15,480
Ukraine's defense forces lack the quantitative
advantage that the Russian armed forces still
19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,820
have. In addition, it is simply irrational to
throw everything and strike point-blank, when you
20
00:01:20,820 --> 00:01:27,000
can hit the rear, while slowly but surely smashing
the enemy's defenses. Ukraine is showing itself in
21
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,800
the best possible scenario with the circumstances
at hand - as reported in The Atlantic.
22
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,940
- Ukrainians have no strategy,
they fight by chance...
23
00:01:35,940 --> 00:01:42,060
The Economist, citing British military
veterans and experts, calls the Ukrainian
24
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:46,380
approach a tactic to "exhaust, stretch the
enemy's forces and strike at a weak point."
25
00:01:46,380 --> 00:01:49,920
- All Russian strikes are precisely on target....
26
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,380
Indeed, the Russian Armed Forces' strikes
have become more precise - there is less
27
00:01:55,380 --> 00:02:01,260
and less territory to defend, and there was time
to prepare. At the same time, Ukraine shoots down
28
00:02:01,260 --> 00:02:06,600
almost all drones and missiles - as an example,
The New York Times cites a strike on one of the
29
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,330
AFU positions : 33 out of 36 cruise missiles were
shot down, the rest hit, but indiscriminately.
30
00:02:12,330 --> 00:02:15,600
- Too late, the counteroffensive has failed...
31
00:02:16,140 --> 00:02:19,380
Ukrainian sappers have cleared
hundreds of kilometers of mines,
32
00:02:19,380 --> 00:02:22,800
and AFU brigades are actively
advancing to the South and to
33
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,600
a lesser extent to the East. Ukraine has
plenty of time left before the fall "mud
34
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,040
season" to cut Russia's land connection
to Crimea, The Telegraph expert stresses.
35
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,300
- In the West, too, they say that
the AFU are fighting as if...
36
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,120
Indeed, some officials comment anonymously
that they "could have done much better." The
37
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,140
snag is that the West provides Ukraine
with armaments with a huge delay and in
38
00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:49,680
insufficient quantities, which does
not even allow for quality training.
39
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,260
Accordingly, conducting military operations
on the scale of American ones is technically
40
00:02:55,260 --> 00:03:00,000
impossible. The criticism comes
to a standstill, summarizes TIME.
41
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,100
- Bakhmut - now forever with Russia,
Ukrainians there suffer defeat after defeat....
42
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:10,080
From a BBC investigation based on hundreds
of American and British satellite images,
43
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,020
it's clear to see how the Ukrainian army continues
44
00:03:13,020 --> 00:03:16,860
to not just encircle but cut Bakhmut
off from Russian-controlled territory.
45
00:03:17,580 --> 00:03:21,780
"We are at a stage where the Ukrainian
military has combined all the best practices,
46
00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:26,340
and we are beginning to see a mass retreat
by the Russians," experts summarize.
47
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,340
Meanwhile, the Russian occupiers have
erected a pontoon crossing on Chongar.
48
00:03:32,340 --> 00:03:34,860
This is an extra reason to think about those who
49
00:03:34,860 --> 00:03:38,340
said that "one hole in the bridge is
not critical, why all this noise?".
50
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:43,740
On the other hand, it also demonstrates
that everything is going according to plan
51
00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:49,800
in the South and even with some acceleration.
After all, the earlier pontoon crossing in the
52
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,820
area of the Antonov Bridges, happened
after the bridge was really destroyed.
53
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,440
And if someone still thinks that the
processes in the South are moving too
54
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,315
slowly, I strongly recommend to watch this video !
