"The reasons for Ukraine's offensive failures
and Russia's successes in defense are the

West's slow, intermittent and "non-strategic"
provision of assistance to Kyiv," said John

Bolton, former national security adviser to
the U.S. president.

I will not emphasize the phrase "Ukraine's
failures", but for at least a year all sane

experts from around the world have been saying:
if you want to defeat Russia, give Ukraine

weapons.

Ukrainian fighters really need more "HIMARS",
long-range missiles and finally airplanes.

And they all discuss and, according to the
same Bolton, "suffer from paralyzing caution".

If you have a second Afghanistan in your plans,
why did you even start helping ? Ukrainians

as no one else can stop the evil from the
east and knows how to do it, speed them up

at last !

While preparing materials for today's video,
I read, not by my own free will, a summary

of the Russian Defense Ministry, almost bled
out of my eyes.

Judging by their calculations, the whole Ukraine
should be covered with Ukrainian pounded equipment.

In addition to the fantastic numbers of losses
of the Ukrainian army - 11274 tanks and armored

vehicles and 458 aircraft, which at the beginning
of the invasion was 124 units, noticed a strange

thing there.

According to the summary, the Russian side
nowhere advances, but always only defends

! And it does it, of course, very successfully:
the enemy forces repelled all the attacks

of the "nationalists", by coordinated actions
destroyed, subdued, defeated and all that.

I did not see any materials about Kupiansk,
which they are "about to take", counter-offensive

at Bakhmut and similar "successes" ?
By the way, they don't specify Ukrainian losses

in men.

Because if you count losses in equipment,
multiply one thing by another, plus infantry,

the Ukrainian army should have been finished
by the end of last year.

And by some miracle it has not ended and still
manages to advance.

And what is happening in reality?

With the escape of the occupants from the
village of Urozhayne, the depth of the Ukrainian

Defense Forces' breakthrough in the Berdiansk
direction is now more than 10 kilometers.

Ahead is the relatively large settlement of
Staromlynivka with the small village of Zavitne

Bazhannia, which are parts of a single defense
architecture.

Staromlynivka is a rather large settlement,
where more than two thousand people lived

before the full-scale invasion.

In addition, it is also a key point in this
direction, as well as an important logistics

center.

With the loss of Staromlynivka, it will be
more difficult for the occupants to hold Novodonetske

and Kermenchyk on the flank.

In addition to logistics, it is also the last
major stronghold: south of it there are kilometers

of steppes and fields, farms, and the so-called
"Surovikin Line".

It is likely that the enemy will cling to
Staromlynivka even more fiercely than to Urozhayne

- it is a "key" settlement.

After Staromlynivka, the next logistical stronghold
is Novopetrikyvka - a village of 1000+ people,

naturally - before the invasion.

At the same time Novopetrikyvka is not just
a logistical center, it is part of the defense

architecture of their second line, which is
most likely heavily fortified.

Following the textbooks, this very Novopetrikyvka
will have to be bypassed.

But this is following the textbooks, the ones
that were written half a century ago.

The Russians are probably counting on it and
that's why those vast steppes and fields around

are generously mined.

So it is not excluded that we will see the
continuation of the already tried tactics

- mowing down the enemy positions with long-range
weapons and then followed by an assault in

small groups.

Everything is going according to the plan
of the Ukrainian General Staff, let's not

rush things !
