Overview of Ukrainian Counteroffensive Challenges

hello there and welcome as always this is M or Michael speaking and before the video starts I want to say thank you all who decided to support me financially beat through patreon PayPal or super thanks I really appreciate your help and generosity so thank you friends and have a blessed day now today's video I will start with famous Ukrainian kurus offensive which just started few days ago now unfortunately due to my health condition I missed out in the beginning but now I'm better so let's go first let's discuss situation Within suja city as you can see syak maps had depicted most of the locality in Ukrainian control however a lot of Russian and Ukrainian sources claim that Ukrainian control within the city is much smaller than it is shown on this map of course the reality at this point can differ significantly from any reports but to me at least it seems that even if ukrainians do control the majority of this town it wouldn't do them any good if we were to go to a topographical map and see where the city of suja is located we can see that its location is exactly in the valley so even if ukrainians do control majority of that City their positions within it would still be disadvantage due to the fact that Russians are controlling dominating Heights that completely overlooks the city of suja now it seems ukrainians made several attempts at crossing the suja river which is located here and splits the city in two however it seems those attacks were unsuccessful and instead they decided to go around north of suja City in attempt to outflank the defending Russians now slowly but surely Russian reinforcements are arriving to the Kursk oblast not all of them of course are immediately thrown to the battle some require some reorganization but the amount of Russian troops simultaneously engaged in fighting across this front line is increasing day by day so Russian counterattacks will become more effective as the time goes by of course here ukrainians are attempting to reach this intersection and this highway which will allow them to continue their Advance here in this area and because of Russian resistance in suja they are forced to go around and reach this route from this side generally speaking Ukrainian Advance North of suja was rather significant with this portion of the front line comunion under their control as you can see with it ukrainians captured quite a number of Russian settlements and continued their Advance further on because like I said as of right now Russians do not have sufficient resources nor reinforcements to completely stop Ukrainian Advance then from this portion of the front line let's move here where ukrainians also managed to advance and capture those territories within the last 24 hours and as a result of that the village of snag came under Ukrainian control here ukrainians are attempting multiple things at the same time first of all they are attacking along this road in the direction of corena but so far all of the attacks in its Direction were successfully repelled by the Russians and it seems it is because of that ukrainians now are attempting to attack elsewhere to not only fully bypass Kenova but also this big Forest also as you can see behind Kenova is a river which Russians will surely use as a natural defensive line so perhaps going around it through this area where the river seems to be narrow is a good call for the ukrainians now it is important to note that since sag fell to the ukrainians they will most certainly continue their offensive here in this area in the direction of bav and as well as vishka and eventually of course let's not forget the village of kamarov so again this works in line with the idea that ukrainians will probably try to envelop and flank Russian defenders in coranova now let's discuss the situation around the city of kinova and the reasons why ukrainians were so desperately attacking in its direction in attempt to capture it as quickly as possible if we zoom out we can see that this city protects more important city of R now if Ukraine were to successfully capture this settlement within just one day nothing would stop them from reaching risk within another day or two which would have meant an operational crisis for the Russian formations in this sector now if we were to zoom into RK we can see that a E38 Highway goes through it and generally speaking this is the biggest settlement across this entire area so at least to me it seems this is Ukrainian second strategic goal the other one of course is suja City now for the convenience of the next point of our discussion I highlighted Russo Ukrainian border so it would be easier for you to understand like mentioned previously here ukrainians are attempting to attack towards R through the city of Kenova again so far they were unsuccessful in their Endeavor interestingly enough about a day ago news surfaced that ukrainians are also concentrating their troops around the city of glov if that is to be the case it would mean that sooner or later ukrainians will start attacking from this axis as well Al the E38 Road just like they did here in the direction of RK if that Ukrainian operation is to be successful the entire Army group of Russian forces located here in this area will find themselves encircled completely now the more ukrainians attack towards corena unsuccessfully the more likely this scenario becomes in my honest opinion if news of Ukrainian concentration of force is true around glov then that part of the operation will Ki in in just few days other option of course is ukrainians will stop attacking towards RK and will become more focused around suja as of right now Ukrainian offensive is hindered by Russian Artillery Aviation and drone strikes for example here on this video you can see Russians spotting Ukrainian tank in Kur oist and striking upon it with lanset drone the same fate was suffered by another armored personal vehicle which too was either destroyed or damaged by Russian L said drone Russians also managed to destroy Ukrainian concentration of forces near to Russo Ukrainian border like you can see here on the video the casualties at this point is unclear however Russians report very high number of officers losing their life in that attack at this point in time ukrainians continue to pull in more and more reinforcements so do the Russians and to me it seems this offensive will soon hit a brick wall and will suffer the same fate as the Russian hon offensive here in this area if you remember within few days Russians do have very serious success however quickly ukrainians realized what is going on and reinforced the front line and now barely no movement is happening here so to me it seems the same thing will happen here eventually the offensive will stop and just like in zapar roia ukrainians will dig in and Russians will slowly attack to regain the territories lost in the offensive now at this point of the video I would like to know your opinion on this whole situation whether you think Ukrainian attack from glov towards R is possible and generally what you think about what's happening while you add it please consider supporting this video a like comment and of course a subscription will be more than enough as you know those actions are extremely important for this channel the more likes there are the more new people will look at it so again thank you all for your support that you've already shown to this channel now with this out of the way let's move on to other changes on the front line although there aren't many that are coming out today first one is in favor of the Russians and it comes from SEK Frontline where as a result of success ful offensive actions conducted by the Russians this small portion of the front line which to me looks funny came under Russian control if we zoom in we can see that this is a street of what would seem to be pis Village and with those recent territorial developments now Russians have ability to storm not only Village of pisna which they are currently doing right now but also the village of fifka which if we zoom out becomes more dangerously isolated from the rest of the Ukrainian Force now of course asan ukrainians have this road they will support their soldiers fighting in it but this recent Russian Advance can be problematic because with it Russians can attack towards this road by passing fifka and cutting it off physically that way so in conclusion the battle for the village of pis just started and the battle for FIFA Village is about to start perhaps at the time of you watching this video it had already begun now to the very last territorial change of the day we're going to be visiting tetk Direction where as a result of successful counter attack which ukrainians conducted in the northern portion of New York City in support of Ukrainian counter attack efforts that are already happening within the center of the city this portion of New York came in under Ukrainian control for a long time ukrainians here were conducting counteroffensive measures to not only stop Russians from capturing New York but to prevent an encirclement so the concentration of Ukrainian attacks here in this sector makes a lot of sense again it is also important to note that ukrainians are also counterattacking here in attempt to do the same however unlike in New York Russian defenses here hold strong generally speaking Ukrainian ksk offensive did not really reflect in any way on other sectors of the front line a lot of pro-ukrainian channels speculated that Russians would be forced to relocate some of their formations from Ukraine into ksk oblast however that is not necessary because Russians do have some reserves they just need time to organize it in the ksk region with this I end today's video hopefully it was to your liking and was informative enough as always Humanity calls me to condemn all violence against human beans have a great day and always remember Russia will be free and great
