Russia's Plan Did Not Work

Russia has admitted that their "brilliant" plan to target Ukraine's energy and water infrastructure with missile attacks all winter has failed. Europe is also doing just fine without buying Russian energy exports as the price of natural gas in Europe has hit a two year low. Ukraine is also making preparations of the possibility of pulling out of Bakhmut.

The strength of armies is proportional to the number of soldiers and equipment they have. Maybe this is a big lie! Because some of the facts experienced in wars cannot be calculated with this mathematics! It was claimed that the Russian army had over 2 million personnel, including reservists. It was also said to have modern weapons and equipment, powerful ammo. However, after Russia began its occupation of Ukraine, the reality of the Russian army's strength became questionable.
The Russian army is struggling to find soldiers to take part in the occupation of Ukraine and is therefore suffering a major setback in the war. The Russian occupiers are trying to organize attacks to prevent this setback against Ukraine. But they fail in almost all of these attacks. The recent events in the town of Maryinka in Donetsk Oblast, along with the failure of the Russian army, showed that the math of soldiers and equipment in calculating army strength is a big lie!
The Russian army entered the town of Maryinka with tanks and combat vehicles to attack the Ukrainian 79th Air Assault Brigade! The goal of the invaders was to capture this brigade. The Russian army, which is expected to carry out major attacks on the anniversary of the war, can only attack Ukrainian troops! And even these attacks are unsuccessful. The Russian offensive in Maryinka also ended in failure. And only due to the perfect operation of one soldier!
The Russian army set out with 5 tanks and 3 infantry fighting vehicles to attack the Ukrainian 79th Air Assault Brigade in Maryinka. As they approached the brigade, they encountered an unexpected development. A Ukrainian soldier was in ambush to blow up tanks and vehicles belonging to the Russian occupiers. In this ambush, the Ukrainian soldier used the Javelin missile system, which was added to the Ukrainian army's inventory with the help of US aid packages. The Ukrainian soldier's historic attack was caught on camera!

More Russian occupiers record video appeals to their military commanders, complying with the poor military command that sends freshly mobilised offensives, including in the Avdiivka area, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces have concrete fortifications. Our correspondents gathered complaints of Russians directly from the front line just for you.

No, I have no interest in America's proxy war with Russia.

The only hope I have is that one day the Ukrainians thank us for it. (sarcasm)

Sorry to have to tell you, but most of these war YouTube videos are clickbait nonsense or lies.

Both sides use these videos and claim the hits are the enemy, this is easy since both sides are using up to now similar weapons.

Ive also noticed many YouTube Ukraine war titles are lies about events or victories that never happened, some of Colonel Macgregor`s videos posted by others or fake accounts, have titles saying the opposite of what he says.

Choose an independent reliable news provider, i suggest military summary or defense politics asia. Both impartial and tell it how it is.

Biden can't afford another Afghanistan.
The yanks lost a lot of international prestige because of that and may have even encouraged pootin to invade Ukraine.
THAT is why he showed up at Kyiv, imo.

I am well aware of that.

This event was covered by other sources.
I have seen similar early on in the war.
It does happen.

I have noticed this too, and I watch out for them.
Yesterday I decided NOT to post an informative video BECAUSE the title was misleading.

I have been reviewing sources since the Ukraine war started.
I have sources that have high credibility.
I have discarded others that have been shown to be misleading or simply because they were TOO optimistic even if the information is correct.

This is one of Carlos's sources.

I think it fair to say that this youtube blogger is pro-Russian, but I have only seen this video.
He is on my list of sources, and I will be reviewing further podcasts.
I remain open-minded at this point.

I find it more balanced.
It is now also on my list of sources.

March 2023



I don’t know these people so can only go by what they say on their videos.

The military summary one he says he’s from belerus but his partner is Ukrainian including pro zelenski.

He repeatedly says he wants the fighting to end today with a ceasefire, given that Russia is the invading force this is hardly pro Russian.

He says he has family members fighting on the Ukrainian side but doesn’t trust much of the info coming out of Ukrainian defense ministry

To be honest given how poorly updated the Ukraine live map is and some of the reluctance to admit a town has fallen even days later he has a point.

The reason I chose these two is they tend to stick to military facts with no moralistic views.

If you start hearing the words Russian lands, Nazi’s, occupiers, orcs etc can you really trust what they are telling you is accurate?

But thanks for the links I’ll add it to my info source.
