There is one aspect to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that has gone overlooked and that is the impact that Ukrainian partisans have had. These guerilla warriors or insurgents depending on how you view them have been actively harassing and hampering Russian forces since the start of the invasion. So let's look inside how these networks function, how effective their operations have been since the start of the war a year ago up to today, and how the Russian Armed Forces have chosen to retaliate against the Partisans.

YEAR. This is the version with English subtitles.

President Zelensky wants to meet with President Xi Jinping as China releases paper calling for peaceful negotiations

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes a meeting with President Xi Jinping would "be beneficial for our countries and for security in the world" following Beijing's calls for a peaceful end to the war in Ukraine.

Quote:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would like to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping following the release of Beijing’s calls for an end to the war with Russia.

China’s foreign ministry released a 12-point position paper urging the end of the brutal war in Ukraine in a bid to pressure Kyiv and Moscow to the negotiating table on Friday.

The paper came in contrast to reports China was considering sending weapons to Russia and after President Vladimir Putin held talks with Beijing’s top diplomat Wang Yi in Moscow.

President Zelensky welcomed the statement and said he planned to meet with the Chinese leader during a speech to mark the first anniversary of President Putin’s invasion.

“I plan to meet Xi Jinping and believe this will be beneficial for our countries and for security in the world,” he said.

"I really want to believe that China will not supply weapons to Russia.”

Vladimir Putin is convincing no-one outside his decaying, delusional dictatorship that he is winning the war in Ukraine

This week we could not have had a clearer contrast between the thriving political culture of the West and that of a paranoid dictatorship, writes Stephen Loosley.

It was the West and the gang in Kyiv, he said - ignoring the fact that it was the Russian army’s invasion which brought the conflict to a climax.

This week we could not have had a clearer contrast between the political culture of the West and that of a decaying dictatorship.

US President Joe Biden arrived in Kyiv in the war zone to lend support to the embattled Ukrainians and, in particular, to President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Biden’s critics hold that he is too old for office.

It will be more difficult to argue this in future, given the flight to Poland from Washington DC followed by a demanding ten-hour train journey to Kyiv.

Biden moved freely in the open in Kyiv among the locals.

This stands in marked contrast to the germaphobe Putin, who sits alone at the end of a long table or stands elevated and isolated at a podium, avoiding all human contact, even with well-wishers.

Putin’s staged rally of supporters convinces no one outside Russia.

The rainy season has arrived:

5:19
what will help significantly though is
5:22
that now in Ukraine the rain seasons
5:25
have started ukrainians were able to
5:27
hold the Russians off long enough that
5:30
the winter period has ended and now
5:32
temperatures are extremely warm rain has
5:35
started pouring down the ground is
5:37
turning into mush and this will
5:40
significantly complicate any kind of
5:42
offensive actions while yes for Russians
5:45
it is possible to still attack because
5:48
they're mostly attacking on food it is
5:50
still not the best way to do it and it
5:53
definitely gives Ukraine some kind of a
5:55
defensive Advantage which is really good

Estimated casualties:

Quote:
12:21
overall we can say that
12:24
it's about one two four one to five
12:28
ratio of ukrainians to Russians
12:31
so if we say that right now that's 140
12:35
000 that Russians so that means that
12:38
there's going to be like over 30 000
12:40
dead ukrainians unfortunately this war
12:43
is terrible costs a lot but it's
12:46
completely unsustainable for Russians
12:48
because uh with the new tactics of meat
12:51
waves they're uh getting really
12:54
unfavorable ratios and if we take
12:56
something like situation
12:58
then it's just basically one-sided

defeat after defeat after defeat finally
