Update from Ukraine | The Collapse of the Ruzzian Army | Uncontrolled losses…
Video Summary
The Russian army also attempted to advance towards Noyaki, but this attack was also repelled. The Sumy city is in the northern part of Ukraine, where the Chisinau Oblast is very close. In an interview, last week, the Ukrainian intelligence chief warned about possible cases of Russian aggression. He said that the threat from the Russian side is constant.
Regarding the Russian army’s losses, it’s reported that they are struggling with their manpower and armor. Military analysts and media sources continue to say that Russia is struggling with these issues. The Economist says that Russia’s main problem is that the stocks of Soviet-made artillery systems and tanks might be depleted by 2025. Ukraine, on the other hand, does not have enough military support to advance in many parts of the front lines. While they show that they have the initiative, Russia tries to compensate its losses by putting its economy on the war footing.
Russia reports that they have hired around 40,000 soldiers per month, but according to independent sources, it’s around 25,000. Despite this, they are unable to compensate for their losses due to high casualty rates. Statistics show that Russia loses around 1,000 troops per day, with 470,000 soldiers fighting in Ukraine. Officially, Russia says it has 700,000 soldiers, but this is not confirmed.
Another issue is that Russia is unable to maintain its armor personnel, as their old tanks are in disrepair due to poor maintenance. Russian soldiers continue to complain about the poor maintenance of armored vehicles and tanks. Russia also needs to find units that are not in a terrible state, but its actual stocks are much lower due to poor storage.
Let’s look at the situation on the ground again. Russia started an offensive towards Tyrpen and Noviaky, but their losses are significant. According to my sources, over 1,000 Russian soldiers have been lost in this area alone. Moreover, some Russian soldiers have gone missing, and their bodies have not been found. This is not a good omen for the Russian army.
It’s clear that Russia is struggling, and its limited advantage on the front lines will soon be seized down to nothing. Another issue for the Russian army is the lack of spare parts, made in the West, which are essential for maintaining their armored vehicles properly. China is unable to meet the standards, and this is why Russian soldiers are complaining about poor electronics in their vehicles.
In other news, Joe Biden was diagnosed with an illness and had to cancel his trip to Las Vegas. Donald Trump said that Taiwan should pay for US defense, as it doesn’t give anything in return. He compared the US to an insurance company and said that Taiwan should pay the premium. He also mentioned that Taiwan is rich, thanks to its chips production, and should pay the US.
I would like to disagree with Donald Trump’s statement about TSMC, the company that produces high-quality chips. TSMC invests in the US, building a massive factory in Arizona worth $12 billion. It’s a global corporation with a presence in Taiwan but also looks for opportunities to work with the US.
The US itself started producing chips in South Korea, not in the US. Transnational corporations are beyond national borders, and I think Trump’s statement is just a populist view. I also see that Trump is selling sneakers featuring an iconic photo of him after an assassination attempt, priced at $300. I’m not a paid advertisement on my channel, but I’m sure people will buy them due to his enormous support.
Let’s look at the updates on the front lines. Unfortunately, the enemy is advancing in some areas, but not many. For now, Ukraine has a window of opportunity to withdraw its forces. Russia is aiming to block the way out for the Ukrainian army from this area, but I believe they will occupy this part soon.
For now, the situation is complex, with both sides suffering losses. Russia has more losses, but Ukraine is determined to push back. We need to see more strict sanctions against Russia and more support for Ukraine.
