UKRAINE Eastern Front in Danger of Collapse as Trump Takes Reigns

Eastern Front Situation:

The situation in Ukraine's eastern front continues to worsen, with Ukraine facing repeated territorial losses.
The risk of a total collapse of the eastern front is increasing.
Donald Trump's Presidency:

Trump has assumed office as President of the United States.
Global attention, particularly from Europe, Russia, and Ukraine, is focused on Trump’s decisions and strategies regarding the conflict.
Tactical Updates:

Russia is advancing methodically across various key areas.
Ukraine is reinforcing specific positions, such as Suja, at great cost in manpower and resources.
Key Battlefronts:

Northern Front (Ksk Area): Ukraine has reinforced positions to slow Russian advances but has suffered significant losses.
Chasiv Yar and Bakhmut: Russia has made substantial territorial gains, nearly capturing these areas after prolonged battles.
Pokrovske Area: Russian forces are steadily advancing, gaining control over new territories.
Ukraine’s Strategic Challenges:

Ukraine’s tactic of holding every building has led to higher casualties and resource depletion.
Ukrainian forces are spread thin across multiple fronts, limiting their ability to mount effective counteroffensives.
Poor morale among Ukrainian troops due to heavy losses and an acknowledgment of limited prospects for victory.
Russia’s Strategy:

Russia employs a slow, methodical strategy, leveraging superior manpower, artillery, and air power.
New offensives may target northern and southern flanks to consolidate gains and cut off Ukrainian positions.
Russia has nearly completed annexing additional regions, threatening to advance into new provinces.
Strategic Implications:

Ukrainian efforts to retain territory for negotiation leverage may backfire, as these positions are likely to fall to Russia eventually.
Trump's negotiations will focus on broader war settlements rather than specific territorial disputes.
Key Takeaways:

Russia's superior resources and Ukraine's strategic errors are shaping the war's trajectory.
The potential for a major shift in territorial control looms as Ukraine's defenses weaken across multiple fronts.

As a military guy, who had experienced combat offensive and defensive, col Danny, I'm getting all in all Ukraine doesn't have enough troops to fight against Russia forces, the ultimate analysis of your podcast is that, civilians might never understand. Col thanks.

[jamesbreault]

Russia is getting very good at urban warfare

[SamDupree-bwrt]

Thanks Mister Davis. i've been watching your show since the beginning. you've done a great job.

[letterpress]

Danny. You are the best at explaining what is happening in Ukraine. I never miss an episode. Cheers, Emil

[masterrubyan]

There wil be no negotiations as long there are Ukrainians in Kursk. And that's what Zelensky want's.

[madmax]

The Eastern front of the nato -Russian war.

[thanakornkhumon]

Any politicians can say whatever they wanted but in the end Ukraine still suffer strategic defeat in every aspect and literally sacrifice for losing battles and PR stunts

[metal--babble]

they told us F-16 jets would even the odds, and force Russia to leave

[RexSwettenham]

One major goal was to demiliterize UK which UK is helping to do by sending more troops into Kursk region. Why change what is working?

[darkplagues]

Russia will probably capture 4 to 6 more oblasts and reach the Transnistria and maybe Khiv.
After the Donetsk Oblast, is there no fortification and just flat lands. Therefore, Russia will sprint to the WEST of the Dnieper River.
Ukraine is on the verge of total collapse. They have a serious shortage of men, a serious shortage of trained soldiers.
As you know, you need experienced officers on the field to set up organized defense and effective counter-attack.
Furthermore, USA factories cannot produce much more ammunition and missile interceptors. Russia knows NATO wants to fight Russia, and as a result, they need to prepare for a future conflict with NATO. That is a no-brainer.

[endtimesbibleprophecy]

Yes, Russia should get a little more territory for all their efforts.

Dear Danial, I hope that you will Chronicle all of your great insight and work about the Ukraine situation in a format like Alexander Solsentietzen. Volume 1, volume2, volume 3 ect.ect. with testimonial, pictures, interviews, clipping, article and of course your insight and extensive work in analysis and not to mention experience. These Chronical volumes are important because your information could disappear from the world. I am not talking about writing some boring book, I am talking about being a witness and almost something like a war correspondent, that you sir, would have been amazing. Thank you for your dedication to the truth and I hope what you have been exposing can be documented for others to look back upon.

[naas]

thanks to the UK saying they will put their navy in UA & have naval war games with UA in the Black Sea - looks like RU will be taking Odesa and going all the way to the Romanian border

Hello Daniel, I want to answer the question you keep asking with regards to the Russo-Ukrainian war. Why the Russians have not destroyed the bridges over the Dnepr river? I am surprised that you are unable to answer it yourself, because you have basically named the reason several time on my memory of watching your excellent reports. The reason is this: if the bridges are destroyed, then the Ukrainians will experience great difficulties sending and supplying their army in and around the Donbas (DONets River Watershed BASin) region. In such case then, the Russians would quickly cross the lands left of the river (facing with the flow direction) and come to it's banks stopped by the now destroyed bridges and the nearly entire Ukrainian army waiting for them on the other side. Most of the ugly cities left of the river would remain relatively intact, but the cities right of the river, the core, the important Russian historic cities such as Odessa (ancient Greek Odessos) and Kiev (old slavic for 'kiy stick town', or 'palisaded settlement', lit. 'fenced by cues'), would now have to be annihilated in the process of destroying the Ukrainian army. This is not a smart move. Use the Google Earth, take a deep dive (p.i.) into the cities on the right and the left and compare. On the left is coal mining dirt villages and Ukrainian "construction" (save Harkov and Kherson (another Greek city), on the right are the gorgeous cities of Russian construction.
But there is a second reason. If the Ukrainian army is forced to concentrate behind the Dnepr river, then the length of the river is the maximum extent of the front. If the bridges are intact and the Ukrainian army is blissfully fighting in the east, then the front is the entire Russian - Ukrainian border, and it can be activated piece by piece as needed to thin the Ukrainians down to a predetermined ratio. Doing the same with the bridges destroyed and the Nazi army on the other side of the river would be much more expensive as any such extension of the front would necessarily require the crossing of the river. There is a third reason. With the Ukrainians blissfully fighting in the east, left of the river, their supply chains have to be twice longer than if they were fighting along the river. This adds another 150-200 miles they have to drag their tanks for repair and back, and be exposed to Mr. Iskander (Arabic for Alexander of Macedon), and then having to repair and rebuild those same extra length of routes. Should the Russian army move to the banks of the river too early, then it's own supply routes would be extended and everything that has to go with it. The fourth reason then is that moving right away to the Dnepr river banks might hav caused the "Big Guy" to start the world war, so you had to spend the time remaining anyway. I know you might presume that the intent is to stop at the four oblast (counties) plus the Crimea (Crimea is from old Greek "Kremnoy", meaning "Cliff Faced"). I tend to think we must consider the necessity for the vengeance in Odessa, the fact the Kiev is the birthplace of Russia, and maybe even a little town west of Kiev called Korosten (from Kors, the Sun God of olden slavs). There, in 945, some revolting slavs have executed Igor (Ingvarr), son of Rurik (Hrurick) by ripping him apart. Rurik was a Viking hired by Russians to be their king, thus the first kink of Russia. Igor's wife, Olga, then avenged him next year by completely burning the town using birds and restored the justice. (btw, this should not be done to Odessa itself, since only a small part of its inhabitants have committed a crime). Thus you can trace the ancient border of Russian lands. Start from Korosten and then go down to the North West corner of Transnistria in Camenca, follow it's South-West border all the way down to Odessa and then stop at Ismail. These lands were ruled by Moscow. As for the lands west of that line, until 1930-ies they used to belong to Hungarians, Poles, Slovaks and Romanians, and may-be, should once again be ruled by them.

Can the total defeat of Ukraine address Russia security concern? Not with an aggressive and expansive NATO at its border? Hope for peace may be more remote than one thinks...

[anthonypeterson]

Dneiper in exchange for Greenland shipping lanes. The river is required for Crimea. I don't foresee, in light of Russias economic strategic interest (BRICS), a heavy militarize Crimea. Whats the count of Bandera fighters and the extent of control, influence, coercion they have against Zelensky? Win or lose (more accurate lose or perish) he likely won't be able to govern. We have resolve this to focus on our (as u said) defensive objectives). A lot of costly strategic lessons from this war.

Hi something that Trump can do now and that's what he said during his Mission Mars speech. Golden opportunity to heal all wounds and start a common goal with the USA, Russia, China and Europe to jointly pursue a mission to Mars. Share the cost and a collaboration. Something I think you can highlight in some section 😊 / Per from Sweden

[jamesbreault]

Russia said no negotiations while uktaine is on Russian land

[oldtown]

Stop talking about North Koreans as part of the Russian forces. Where is the proof?

[dorissharp]

If the US bails out what does that mean for Europeans?
