The difference with all these claims and counter claims is that Ukraine usually provides visual proof. For example, a Ukrainian flag was raised on the Balakliya Town Hall, even as Balakliya Bob was claiming that it was under Russian control.

Beginning of the end for Russia. War will continue for the next year but they have totally lost the momentum. Very, very embarrassing.

[florentgille]

In every Crux video we used to have some comments like "Ukraine wins by loosing territory". Those people are awfully quiet recently? fell off a hospital window?

[agalie]

Today at 16h00 Ukrainian army liberated Balakliya, videos from city center. And they are very close to Koupiansk.

[AlexanderHL]

Vitaly Ganchev (Russian stooge head of Balakleya): "They only dented the defense in some areas." He says, probably from Moscow as Balakleya has been confirmed liberated already.

There is always a turning point in every war. As ukraine get more weapons and russia bleeds dry due to sanctions, there will be a swift victory for Ukraine.

Ukrainians will to fight against the invaders is the reason the west supplied the weapons they need.
Best of luck ukraine

The rate of Arms flowing into Ukraine is truly awesome. If it continues to accelerate at this pace Ukraine will start to be able to outgun Russia, it already has an edge with precision.

I never thought they'd last this long let alone have a non zero chance of retaking previously lost territory.

[jeremesimmons]

Poland would obliterate Luka’s little green men. Hell, Lithuania could probably do it themselves too. Good luck

[Toaster-vz]

Biggest military blunder in history. Congrats savy genius.

[buddyboyx]

Looking into the eyes of Ukrainian soldiers one sees bright life, hope. The eyes of Russian soldiers reflect despair.

[williamhenry]

RU demanding countries stop supporting Ukraine is one of the more disgusting aspects of the war for me. It's like witnessing a mugger insist that passersby mind their own business, while battering and robbing a victim in broad daylight. Thankfully in this case the victim turned out to be the tougher one!

[tonysu]

I don't know if previous statements apply, but from the time the first package of 155mm howitzers was announced, every announcement has included a large of amount, typically 50% of "advanced shells." I don't know how many kinds of advanced shells there are, but could mean at least tens of thousands of Excalibur or similar, and about 50% of e every shell fired at the Russians.

Considering how cheap and plentiful commercial GPS rangefinders are, this means acquiring and sending GPS coordinates taken from a long distance away could potentially be a capability every Ukrainian citizen has, not just Special Forces, and then it's only a question how long before the information becomes stale. If Ukrainian citizens could literally phone the GPS cooridinates to an a conventional or HIMARS unit within seconds, that would be as long as it might take to fire a shell at that target.

Saying this in public should not affect the Ukrainian advantage... Russia supposedly uses its own satellite location system, doesn't have GPS guided munitions in quantity (only PGMs) and from the beginning of the war has had a ridiculously backward communications system even using the Ukrainian consumer phone systems because their military system failed.

You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait till the lend lease kicks in

[popzgonzalez]

All this over one person greed..no respect for humanity..glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

[elfulano]

Ukraine's troops are my heroes! Keep up the good work! 🇺🇲🇺🇦

[pjhgerlach]

Oh boy! At the end of this month the Lend Lease Act will come into effect.
