Russia was switching to more “brutal tactics” like bombarding cities in Ukraine, an analyst from the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) said, after describing its invasion as a “poorly executed operation.”
Ed Arnold pointed out that the Russian troops on the ground did not know the details of the operation until very late, meaning soldiers weren’t able to prepare.
“The Russian war machine has misfired,” he said. “Poor political and military leadership is just filtered down to the operational and tactical level… and they’ve made this very difficult for themselves.”
Arnold also pointed to the key difference now between Russia and Ukraine after nearly a week of fighting, which was morale. He described Ukrainians’ morale as “high,” seeing this war as a “fight for national survival.”
At least 21 people were killed and 112 wounded in shelling in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-biggest city, in the last 24 hours, regional officials said.

Russia spent money to civilize Afghanistan and get rid of fanatic murderers 40 years ago. USA spent money to stop Russia. Look at the murderers in Afghanistan today. Russia planed a military attack on corrupt Ukraine government. The West and USA spent a billion dollar to push Ukraine people into a war with Russia. Billions of dollars of damage to Ukraine cities and many dead. USA spent millions to damage Syria but failed to change the pro-Russian government. Is this a deal to make weapon industries happy? Stop killing innocent people.
It’s who we are now.
Nothing has changed since my grandfather left Ukraine in 1913.
War
Rinse, repeat
UN is a waste of space and money .
Don't buy into this propaganda. In what world do you think russia would be ok with Nato placing their missiles in ukraine. Nato brought this on themselves.
Resistance is futile, Ukraine should have realized that’s it’s much closer to Ukraine than the US. Zelensky isn’t known for knowledge but for being a tragic comedic
Ukrainians have shown the world their bravery and neighbouring countries have shown solidarity with the Ukrainians against psychopath Putin's war against humanity! The true contrast between good😇 & evil 😈
War criminals Russia
Putin is a barbarian. I feel sorry for Ukraine and the Russian people.
They tried the soft tactics, only targeting military as much as possible, now they are going to get harder. Later they may do what they did in Grozny or possibly start using nukes. Only way to stop this is to give into Russia's main demand, that Ukraine never join NATO, they have said from the beginning Ukraine in NATO means war up to and including nuclear. Are we willing to see our cities hit to protect Ukraine, honest question
I want Russia out but they will not stop if they believe Ukraine will join NATO or EU

Why did the world put sanctions on Russia but not on America? America has invaded many countries. Brittan still holds Afgani gold and securities. What is going on here? White supremacy is showing it's true face. Democracy is a means to steal the Indigenous peoples' lands, and used the rule of law to do this. Canada and America are great examples of this and how the rule of law still controls and benefits from their exploitation.
The tactic Putin uses is to lure more resistances to come out so he can clean them out in the battlefield. If they surrender now and blend in with the civilians, it will be a headache for the next pro Russian government. Study why the pro American Iraq and Afghan government cannot rule their countries with the soldiers of the previous government blending in with the civilians. Remember how the Russian took care of the army officers in Poland during the second world war?
Anybody that actually reads about and observes politics outside of their regularly scheduled broadcasts would have realized this war was coming nearly a decade ago back in 2014 after the separatist movement in Donbas. Russia has had its eyes on Ukraine as both a source of natural resources and as a buffer zone to NATO in the event of war.
The initial military operation in Ukraine committed by the Russians falsely assumed many Ukrainians would refuse to fight, and by securing the major cities and eroding the existing Ukrainian government in the region it would permit Russia to take over Ukraine without much fighting or involvement of civilian casualties to a significant degree. The problem, however, arose when their false assumption didn't fully turn out how they expected, meeting initial strong resistance. Russia has also refused to utilize much of their air force to prevent unnecessary losses to equipment and fighter pilots. This has led to ongoing aerial engagements in a contested air space, which Russia has been struggling to secure since the start of the war. This isn't out of incompetence from the Russian Air Force, this is due to lack of adequate aircraft and inadequate strategic and tactical coordination from both ground and air operations. Most Russian soldiers had no knowledge of their invasion of Ukraine leading up to the war, much less being prepared to fight a war they had no idea they were getting into.
All this considered, Russia has made massive strides in Ukraine, securing multiple fronts to the East (Russian border), North (Russian/Belarus border), and South (Crimea). Kyiv and now Kharkiv have been nearly surrounded which will present a great problem for Ukraine to actively pull a strong counter-offense against Russian forces, let alone receive NATO equipment and supplies when Russia will affectively control Eastern Ukraine. All of this in the span of approximately a single week. Not including the fact that according to Russia, their entire ground forces in the battlefield are highly trained volunteers whereas the majority of Ukraine's forces are unprepared civilians and glorified militias relying fully on NATO anti-tank and anti-air weapon system for all of their initial victories in the first week. Much of this equipment will become useless when they run out of ammo and cannot secure resupplies from NATO to these fully cutoff cities.
They send the young untrained draftees as tip of spear human shield till they see what’s up with how the Ukrainian defense are
RUSIA did not have a "poorly planned operation" Consider if you were to walk at a brisk pace it would take you over 12 hous to walk the length a the entire convoy and its HUGE. Russia's war efforts were not planned in days but for the last year AT LEAST and they are moving in a methodical fasion. I an not being sympathetic to Russia. To the contrary…I say , grant the Ukraines pleas for a no fly zone and then bomb the hell out of the entire covoy.
War Criminal Putin. We need to help Ukrainians more.
Belarus saying Moldova is next.
How long took it the to take over Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria? It seems, every one of those unprovoked invasions was poorly planned. The only thing they planned well, have been the lies they told, to justify their invasions.
So disgusting this western media and its lies and propaganda and not knowing what is actually going on…
Я очень хочу обратиться к простым украинским людям, и очень надеюсь, что автор этого канала не будет против.
То, что происходит, ужасно. Этого не должно быть. Никто из нас этого не хочет. Мы всегда считали и продолжаем считать украинцев братским народом, несмотря на все, что произошло за последние годы. Отдаете ли вы себе отчет в том, сколько оскорблений нанесла Украина России за эти восемь лет? Вы придумали войну и восемь лет кричали, что доблестно сражаетесь с нами. Мы терпели. И продолжили бы терпеть. Если бы на Донбассе не гибли люди и если бы ситуация не обострилась до крайности.
Сегодня вы видите наши танки. Ответьте себе на вопрос: с кем же вы воевали все эти годы? И что бы с вами сделало за такую риторику любое другое государство?
Наверняка вам кажется, что то, что сейчас происходит, ужасно несправедливо, и так оно и есть – ведь вы никак не ассоциируете себя с действиями вашего правительства. Ведь где правительство, а где мы… Это они там воруют, резвятся, принимают странные законы и заигрывают с НАТО, а вы просто живете. Почему вы должны из-за этого страдать, если вы все равно ничего не можете сделать?
Страдать вы, конечно же, не должны, и этой спецоперации не должно быть – да, для нас это не война, а спецоперация, потому что мы вам не враги. Подумайте сами, кто вам враг – те, кто прячут свою технику в жилых кварталах и используют вас как живой щит, или те, кто мог бы давно зачистить Киев и Харьков (не говоря уж о том, чтобы просто разбомбить их к ядрене фене), но по каким-то причинам до сих пор этого не делает, стремясь всеми силами избежать кровопролития?
Но в том-то и дело, что вы не можете ничего сделать с теми причинами, из-за которых все это началось. А между тем, все очень серьезно. Ваше правительство заигралось, и это уже не просто стало угрожать нашей безопасности, но и перешло все мыслимые границы. Хотя, возможно, вам изнутри казалось, что все это очень весело и «весь мир с вами», хотя по факту весь мир использовал вас. Неужели вы этого не видели?
А теперь переходим к главному: если вы сделать со своим правительством ничего не можете, а делать что-то нужно, то какие еще варианты у нас остаются? Мы спокойно приняли то, что вы выбрали путь евроинтеграции – это ваш выбор. Мы терпели, когда вы кричали, что вступите в НАТО, хотя это прямая угроза нашему существованию. Но когда ваш дурак стал кричать, что сделает ядреную бомбу и вернет Украине ядерный статус, нам пришлось решать этот вопрос.
У нас нет цели присоединять Украину – упаси господи. Разбирайтесь сами с долгами, которые успели набрать. Живите как знаете, наверняка ваши новые друзья вам помогут. Ведь помогут же, да? Всегда ж помогали? Притом безвозмездно и бескорыстно? Обратите внимание – они накачали вас оружием по самое дальше некуда, но не отправили ни одного транша гуманитарной помощи. Может быть, это повод задуматься?
Неужели для вас не очевидно, что вас используют как плацдарм для наступления на Россию, и что война действительно ведется – но не Россией против Украины, а Западом против России? Вы понимаете, что Америка будет воевать с Россией до последнего украинца?
Понимаете ли вы, что весь украинский национализм – это результат долгой и планомерной работы заокеанских специалистов, и что на это были потрачены очень большие деньги? Если у Украины и есть какие-то исторические терки, то не с Россией, а с той же Польшей – вспомните, с кем воевал Богдан Хмельницкий.
Так зачем вам все это? Цель спецоперации – вернуть Украине нейтральный статус и навсегда закрыть вопрос о вступлении в НАТО, а также избавить вас от нациков, которые, вероятно, вам самим давно надоели. Это не ваша война. Уж точно не против нас. Это наша общая война против тех, кто давно оккупировал Украину и сделал ее своим плацдармом.
Что вы можете сделать? В идеале – формировать общественное мнение. Я понимаю, что это сложно, поэтому как минимум не верьте вашей пропаганде и берегите себя. Мирного всем неба.
P.P.S. И еще одна просьба – вспомните, за что воевали ваши деды. А также с кем и против кого. И на чьей стороне был Бандера и прочие военные преступники, которых вы нынче героизируете.

EVER BEEN IN COMBAT ?? TO MANY CIVILIANS. THERE HIDING BEHIND THEM. WON'T LET THEM EVACUATE.
Whatever happened to the values of humanity? Whatever happened to the fairness and equality?. Instead of love you’re spreading animosity, lack of understating leading us away from unity. But when you only have love for your own race, than you only leave space to discriminate, and to discriminate only generates hate. And when you hate than you’re bound to get irate. Madness is what you demonstrate. And that’s exactly how anger works and operates. Man, you got to have love this will set us straight. Take control of your mind and meditate. Let your soul gravitate to the love y’all ❤️
One wonders if the Ukraine should surrender in order to save lives and property and then deal with the consequences later.
Just a reminder of history for others who say, that analogy to Hitler and WW2 is wrong. Why then it looks like Putin's playbook?: Remember year of 1938 and how Hitler grabbed Sudetenland and how it ultimately led to WW2. When Adolf Hitler came to power, he wanted to unite all Germans into one nation. In September 1938 he turned his attention to the three million Germans living in part of Czechoslovakia called the Sudetenland. Sudeten Germans began protests and provoked violence from the Czech police. Hitler claimed that 300 Sudeten Germans had been killed. This was not actually the case, but Hitler used it as an excuse to place German troops along the Czech border. Soon afterwards, these border territories were annexed from Czechoslovakia, and some time after that, Hitler seized whole country. Czechoslovakia ceased to exists and Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren was formed. All military assets of Czechoslovakia and all its industrial power bolstered nazi war machine. Without these assets, attacking Poland, France, let alone Soviet Union would be unthinkable. "Hitler stressed the military importance of occupation, noting that by occupying Czechoslovakia, Germany gained 2,175 field cannons, 469 tanks, 500 anti-aircraft artillery pieces, 43,000 machine guns, 1,090,000 military rifles, 114,000 pistols, about a billion rounds of ammunition and three million anti-aircraft shells. This amount of weaponry would be sufficient to arm about half of the then Wehrmacht." The rest is history. Never negotiate with terrorists in Kremlin. Putin's kleptocracy is out of money. Just like Hitler before war. He stole from jews, killing them openly since Nuremberg Laws enacted in Nazi Germany in 1935. His economy was centralised and de facto nationalized. He was near bankrupcy and to conquer other states and plunder and steal was for him a must. And Putin is in EXACTLY the same situation. Russian economy is failing and he is a rabid dog. You can't negotiate or argue with rabid dog.
There are only two ways how to get out of this. Either there must be established supremacy on the Ukrainian side (supported by the West's uncompromising determination). Only other solution is that Putin must be removed by someone from his inner circle. Make it look like hearth attack or something, so as not to lose the face. Mighty leader overwhelmed by a sudden illness. There, war is over.
1000's of Russian soldiers died, as Putin deceived them, telling inexperienced young men they were in a training exercise, these people were sitting ducks, he is murdering Ukrainians, all human life is very special. The Russian Military must be thinking of arresting Putin for war crimes, for misleading their own officers for an unprovoked aggressive attack on Ukranians. Putin is violating the Russian constitution and international law, people are dying, he needs to retreat now and do what is right or time to arrest him via the Russian military/there own people are dying as they were mislead/via Putin lies.
Pray for Ukraine. Russia now become Terrorist with no humanity.
Word coming from Russia is planned executions in Ukraine Cities. Geneva Convention Wartime principles ; It specifically prohibits murder, mutilation, torture, the taking of hostages, unfair trial, and cruel, humiliating and degrading treatment. It requires that the wounded, sick and shipwrecked be collected and cared for. It grants the ICRC the right to offer its services to the parties to the conflict.
I appeal to all kind, decent, sane, peaceful people of the planet. Whether you like this information or not, take it into consideration and think about it. European countries are our friends! Ukrainians are our brothers! Today, a very difficult situation has developed for the entire European space. You must understand that it was the United States that unleashed this confrontation. The leadership of the United States, European and many other countries, the criminal leadership of Ukraine knew 100% that Russia would never allow the NATO bloc to enter the territory of Ukraine. And if they knew, then they deliberately went for it !!! Two fraternal peoples pushed their foreheads together and now our people are dying there. After all, it turns out that for ordinary citizens of Ukraine, Russia is now really "attacked." And for Russia, this is a forced protective measure. It was necessary to urgently intervene, otherwise the army of Ukraine and the punitive nationalist battalions would have destroyed the people of Donbass, which had already suffered from shelling for 8 years. And then they would go to my native Crimea! Therefore, negotiations in Belarus will lead nowhere. How can you negotiate with "those" who work for the United States, for whom war is the main goal. It's like turning on two green traffic lights at an intersection. Now the United States is causing economic damage not only to Russia, but to the whole of Europe. The corrupt Ukrainian leadership will now stir up the confrontation to the last, instead of calling on people to lay down their arms. They are well aware of what awaits them. They understand that Russia came just for them! Russia has never attacked anyone in history, but only defended itself. Now it is very important to extinguish this blazing flame as soon as possible! But instead, the Europeans go to fight in Ukraine and supply weapons. Do you understand how this could end? Guess who will be in the black from everything that happens!? Thanks to whom your countries are populated by refugees? The United States bombed dozens of countries, dropped atomic bombs on peaceful cities! USA is the main enemy of the whole world! Do not blindly believe, figure it out! Disgusting, deceitful videos have flooded the internet. Millions of videos! We will show and prove to you the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there any bottom to the evil that is Russia?
What's happening to all those missing trafficked children in Ukraine? Are they getting bombed?
hypocrisy…stop propaganda brainwashed to people of around the world, in fact that situation of mass innocent peoples injury or death as same in Afghanistan, Libya, lraq, syria by America and western countries military invasion, do everybody forget it?
If you run from a bully.
He will keep beating you up and chasing you….
You will run forever!
SOMETIMES like NOW… You HAVE to FIGHT to be a MAN
Your children or Grandchildren will pay the price because you live in fear.
You fear death… So leave it to your children/ Grandchildren to stand up for you.
That is what cowards do…
Cowards and wimps "Let the others handle it!!!"
Man up!
To be a dictator you only need one thing to be a psychopath like Vladimir Putìn! And I'm not scared, I'm just disgusted to see it!
wtc do you know guy? you dont know about the last 8 years of lugansk and donetsk ! your sour rtard
The Russian armed forces have also destroyed 66 Ukrainian aircraft on the ground and 16 more in the air, adding that 708 tanks and other armoured vehicles of the Ukrainian Army had been obliterated.
Actually not a bad report more facts than propaganda Ty Global
作为在法国的留学生个人观点总结:俄乌冲突,吸引了全世界的目光,也势必对未来世界形势产生影响。
普京之前在电视讲话中说:“军事行动的目的是保护八年来遭受基辅政权虐待、种族灭绝的人民,为此我们将寻求使乌克兰非军事化和去纳粹化,并将那些对包括俄罗斯公民在内的平民犯下无数血腥罪行的人绳之以法。”
就在两年前,乌克兰的新纳粹已经把黑手伸向中国,踏上中国的土地,参与到分裂中国的港毒活动了。2019年12月,香港正在发生黑暴风波,大量受背后大手煽动的黑暴分子在香港街头打砸抢烧。香港街头播放乌克兰2014年颜色革命纪录片,美化颜色革命,煽动黑暴推翻政权。在BBC“记者”镜头下,被洗脑的香港女废青,说出来这句至今被网友反复“鞭尸”的经典名句:希望香港和乌克兰一样有个好结果。在香港黑暴的“仰慕”下,乌克兰颜色革命中发展壮大的新纳粹组织,也纷纷派员抵达香港。这个新纳粹组织叫亚速营,他们以游客和记者身份进入香港。12月1日,香港尖沙咀,新纳粹分子与香港黑暴在街头一起参与闹事。
可以明确知道的是,新纳粹与分裂中国的犯罪分子站在一起,一起挑起争端,所以说乌克兰的挨揍不是无缘无故的,反过来想背后的美欧的媒体倒向也就不谋而合了。
Russia is terrible for doing this
Russia first used a soft tactical move by going in and doing as a little damage as possible and preventing civilian casualties as much as possible then in the next phase this is called a cauldron military tactic, encircling the enemy and with one final push crushing the hell out of em. This exactly what Russia is doing, and yes Russia is winning this war, western mass media are absolutly clueless as to what is actually going on.
So many bots here…
Ukrain is next Syria, A place of Commen Battle Field
i get so tired listening to this stuff you mean the rest of the world is sitting back and watching kids get killed we as humans can do something about this but its politics we have the technology to flatten russia how come were not world is a mess
