On a real note, Putin talked about west losing interest a year ago, seems like he’s not wrong.

[Sebastian]

this city was fortified for 10 years with dozens of bunkers, a lot of concrete, trenches, etc... 10 years imagine that

[mrbeep]

"Sanctions fails to slow Russian war production" No surprise there.

[alammohammad]

You didn’t mention the amount of shovels and washing machine used by Russians.. and number of Siberian bears were sacrificed to launch bear wave attacks .😮

[Khneefer]

24:15 - Tusk is prime minister, not president.

[justandy]

I have a quick question for you guys at Kings and Generals; The list of unit losses for both Ukraine and Russia shows 290 drones and 350 drone losses respectively.
But when it comes to a loss of a 'suicide drone' like the shahed types, Are you counting it as a loss if the Shahed has been shot down or destroyed on the ground before launching it?
Or are we counting the drones that successfully hit their targets as losses? Technically the drone has been lost, but it did its job successfully. Afterall the Shahed's are designed to be destroyed.

russia also produce 3 million shells per yea compare to 1.2m of usa and europe combined

Regarding the "decision on the new mobilization is not made yet"
This is not very correct statement because mobilization in Ukraine continues on daily basis and never stopped.
It is not as efficient as we expected but it is in progress. The new "decision/law" is NOT about the additional mobilization. It is about the increasing efficiency of current daily mobilization via increasing the punishment for draft-dodgers and via promotion of the recruiting and via reducing the minimum age for mobilization. From what I heard Zelenskyi also decided to make an "audit" of the already mobilized stuff since many of them are in the rare and have never been to the front-lines (due to corruption, bribes, influential relatives or other factors such as alcoholism or zero physical form).

[brendanmichael]

The grimmest the forecast has looked for Ukraine since day three of the war.

[Zomb-oiit]

Kings and generals: what was supposed to be a short victorious war has turned into a war of attrition.

Hmm where have I heard that one before 🤔

[ndio]

Hold up -
7-1 advantage in favor of russia? Pentagon estimates claim Russia doesnt suffer dobule the losses of Ukraine, which means that Ukraine is gonna lose because there too many Troops for russia!

[roihanfadhil]

It doesn't feel like this war reaching 2 years.

[ShortReviewerRetroGames]

@KingsandGenerals in previous videos you stated ashad drone was only 35K just wondering where that information came from?

[bubyCZ]

The sheer scope of logistics needed for all kinds of equipment from all over the western world... that must be some Extreme Starcraft Micromanagement :D

[faderfaker]

i think ukraine is sort of testing place of weapons, war vehicles and drones.

[theeternalsuperstar]

No amount of equipment would have saved Avdiivka. Tactical mismanagement on the Ukranian side caused the collapse. Multiple units have been noted to have been fighting for months (some since the start of the war) without being cycled for freash troops. The point is, the Ukranian lines shattered because the regiments there were just left there by their commanders to be eradicated by the Russians. Also, it's poignant to note that Avdiivka is the battle in which the Russian army finally figured out how combined arms warfare works. Before it seemed that the Russians had no idea how Close Air Support works.

[c.w.simpsonproductions]

Arguably, Putin is in the best position he's been in in a long time. He crushed the Wagner Uprising, and subsequently eliminated both Yevgeny Prigozhin and Wagner's influence. And now with his most outspoken critic Alexei Navalny dead, the last major symbol of opposition has pretty much crumbled. And with Russia cut off from much of the global economy due to the sanctions, Putin was able to capitalize on that and expand the state's influence over the economy.

I said before that Putin's real war of attrition wasn't with Ukraine, but the West. He was banking on the alliance breaking apart through his opponents losing political power, and it seems to be working. Arguably, the biggest winner in the Israel/Hamas Conflict is Russia. And with the USA's political infighting, it doesn't even matter to Putin if Trump loses the election, as long as the results keep Congress in gridlock.

And while Ukraine's ammo stockpile continues to dwindle, Russia is able to both keep pumping out ammo in the factories, as well as getting new shipments from other powers like North Korea. At this rate, all Putin has to do is just keep up the slow march of attrition, and he likely will be able to claim victory.

[MichaelSmith-ijut]

Even though multiple other comments have said it, I feel that my repeating it is of extreme importance: Tusk is Lord Commander of Pole Hand, not the President

[AstraphUriel]

I bet someone already pointed this out, but Tusk is the prime minister, not the president.

[RedDemon]

How do the Russian have a 7 to 1 manpower advantage ? If it was material advantage like 7 to 1 artillery ok i guess.
But manpower ?
In the begging of the war Ukraine had the manpower advantage.
Last year about equal.
Now the Russians have 7 to 1.
How does that make any sense ?
