The 7th battle of Kharkiv started. Damn

[viktormilosevic]

Very informative, I will use it in my future conquests.

[paulthiede]

Sedan: I have importance in two wars between France and Germany.
Kharkiv: I have major importance in both WW2 and the Russo-Ukrainian War, also I have huge strategic value for defense and there were 6 battles fought for me
Isonzo: Amateurs

[luxtayii]

Very informative, I truly never knew why Kharkiv was so important... another great one Eastory!

[Wezier]

I think video is quite informative beyond its niche. Most people know being the attacker in an Urban setting sucks, but few (including I) have never considered urban conglomerations and how you move your forces in or around said city zones.

There’s certainly no shortage of major cities a stones toss away from multiple mid sized cities.

BABYYY EASTORY UPLOADED YOU ARE NOT MY MAIN PRIORITY

[syedlam]

We have to admit he never disappoints us with his contents

[angelorichter]

This channel is amazing, ever since its creation❤️ greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[dylangtech]

Given this is a current event, it’s kinda funny to hear him give direct military advice.

Very good video Eastory. Love your videos!

[tierka]

As a citizen of Kharkiv, I can tell that we were afraid russians would occupy the city pretty quickly considering it is near the border, but after the first week, it became clear they can not break in (actually they managed but it was a suicidal mission), so they just started to shell city with artillery. Barbaric tactics to destroy what you can't gain.

6 Battles of Kharkiv! Same geography, same problems.

[wasimshaikh]

A year later Russia launched their offensive and looks like they listened to you

[fan.cindaquila]

I am born in kharkiv, i live in kharkiv, and i love Kharkiv. Это любимый город Харьков это любимый город наш

[alexeykkk]

How interesting, right now (May 2024) there are already loads of people who write that Kharkiv has no military significance whatsoever. Exactly like what they wrote about Bakhmut and Avdiivka, first that they were adamant fortresses, and next - that they had no significance anyway. It’s be very interesting to watch the progress of the Russian army in the next few weeks, and that of the commentaries

[rphb]

coming up soon. Why Kharkiv is insignificent and Russia taking it only have a symbolic significance

[orlovmyk]

Kharkiv is my native city, currently living in Poltava. Very informative, thanks!

[TheBigWall]

Just waiting for the new video: "Why Kharkiv is not strategic at all and is just a small village"

[TheRomankopler]

one little correction - the SE parts (Mariupol, Kherson and some parts in Luhansk ) were taken at the same time while the Kiev / Kharkov op was ongoing - and NOT after that failed.

[DiegoDiaz-vmxx]

Well I guess we are about to find out how correct was this assessment

Who is watching 7 Battle of Kharkov May 2024 😅
