Ukrainian forces struggle to hold back Russian assaults in the east | DW News
Ukrainian forces are struggling to hold back a wave of Russian assaults in the east. Moscow says it has captured several hundred square kilometers of Ukrainian territory since the beginning of the year.
Kyiv says it is suffering from a lack of soldiers and delays in deliveries from its Western allies. The shortages have allowed the Russians to advance in many places, like in Avdiivka. Now, they have their sights set on Chasiv Yar. A Ukrainian retreat there could jeopardize the defense of the entire region. DW correspondent Nick Connolly reports from the ground.

Back in 2022, the BBC: Russia will run out of ammunitions within two months
Guess Russia captured enough washingmachines chips to prepare all these drones.
It's incredible what Russian engineers can do with 4 but microcontrollers.
U$A warns China not to sell shovels to Russia. 😆Somehow the Russians are so good at using shovels.
@@jptrainorwhat is this weak attempt at cope?
According to Von Der leyon
In response to the blocking of Russian assets in the West, Russia took away from Europe 2 factories producing washing machines (ariston, indezit). There are enough chips.
"Kyiv says it is suffering from a lack of soldiers..." What???? Zelensky said 2 months ago that 31,000 soldiers died since the beginning of the war. He has a lot of soldiers.
Zelensky is right though, 31K Killed in action & 500K missing in action
@@crumcon US Army Col. Douglas Macgregor says that 500k to 600k died. That's a gigantic loss. A flower of the Ukrainian youth lies in the ground. They died for nothing because America wants another war.
@@crumcon You mean 500K off-the-book casualties.
The problem is Russia has 5x the population and can manufacture their own equipment and ship them to the front lines quite easily since they are adjacent to Ukraine.
the manpower shortage is overstated, both sides could theoretically keep this going indefinitely, the bigger issue is equipment which doesn't look good for the russians because they are basically maxed out on production.
"Chasiv Yar isn't strategically important" news media weeks later after Russia captures it.

@@IrrationalCharm you dont actually watch do you? Russians are far more objective and truthful then the west can even afford to be anymore.
It's sad, but when your military industrial complex is actually situated in another country or countries, it was always going to be difficult to fight against a monster like Russia. The Russians didnt expect any resistance, and hence they invaded understrength, suffered a humiliating defeat. Now they're back, but destroying everything in their path with artillery, like a slow but devastating steamroller.
The Russians expected Ukraine to come to its senses meaning for negotiations to continue. Ukraine did just that until Boris Johnson came along
And people saying Russia is still weak obviously never heard the responses of Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines. They would say otherwise, they acknowledge that they are being overpowered by the RAF.

Nothing is going to turn anything around for either side unless US or China becomes fully vested in the war. For now it’s going to be a tactical tug of war and stalemate. The aid will allow Ukraine to stabilize the front and repel the Russian counter offensive though.

Dude get serious, my country the Netherlands has a bigger economy than Ruzzia. 🤣🤣

@@13BulliTsAre you the owner of Netherlands? How much then is debts of your state?
LOL. Russia's GDP is around twice that of Netherlands. In 2022 Netherlands military spending was 15.61 Billion, being 1.58% of GDP. Russia's was 86.37 Billion. That's the difference between a war economy and a regular economy. Both countries are higher now, but Russia is expected to reach 140 Billion in 2024.

No the real problem is that Ukraine should have stayed neutral instead of cozying up to the West and wanting to join NATO. Like it or not Ukraine are in the Russian sphere of influence. It’s simple geography.
@@braxxian Russia has many times said and accepted that the Old sphere of Influence is no more.

@@lizhall2961 Ok. But the same house allegedly agreed to ship atacms without waiting for the approval right? Sometime sounds fishy isn't it??
@@Booz2020 Chinese lives matters too! So no big deal.
The main talking point of the narrative nowadays is "The West (US) have taken too much time to provide aid because of the lack of the will. If there had been more political resolve to help Ukraine, it would have changed the outcome entirely". This is being repeated time after time in preparation for the humiliating defeat: "Republicans are to blame!". This is a fallacy, however. The truth is much simpler. First of all, MONEY is not the issue. Europe is still rich enough to produce an arbitrary amount of cash at any moment while the US can just print money, which they do. The issue is that there is not much left to give. Warehouses have been emptied of shells, long-range missiles, AD missiles, what have you. AD systems in huge quantities (relative to overall existing count) have been sent, tanks, artillery systems, fighting vehicles. All that and then some has been donated. Is one stops to consider the ridiculous amount of support that has already been provided, support that amounts to many hundreds of billions, they will realize that the lack of resolve is not the issue. The issue is that NATO countries are physically incapable of giving more, physically incapable of maintaining supplies at required levels and that the efficiency of most equipment has been dubious - no wunderwaffe in sight. That combined with questionable command decisions of the NATO generals as well as Ukrainian leadership that resulted in horrendous loss of Ukrainian lives, lives that cannot be replaced lead to this unredeemable failure. This is an unadulterated debacle of the western military system and policies, and Republicans have little to do with this.
Very well explained
I agree with much of what you said. Ukraine's decision to attack a heavily defended part of Zaporizia and fight to the bitter end in Bakhmut cost them thousands of needless deaths. Ukraine's failure to build robust defense lines like the Russians did in the south is coming back to haunt them; however, they would not have lost nearly as much ground if they had received if the Republicans in Congress had not sat on the aid for almost six months.
@@fr2ncm9 I cannot really agree. A couple of points to make. The US has clearly been supplying Ukraine with shells and missiles outside of the Congress's authorization of 61B. They have admitted to having shipped ATACMS missiles back in March. Now that the money has been approved, have you looked at the contents of the most recent aid package? It is really nothing that will make any difference. ATACMS are supposed to be the highlight yet the Russians are shooting the vast majority of them down. Even if one or two do get through, what difference can they possibly make? And mind you, there is a rather limited supply of these anyway, we are talking low triple-digits at best. Or is a dozen of desert-camo Bradleys going to become an impregnable wall? My points is that there is not much the US can give to Ukraine to use. They can only escalate by sending their own troops which would be disastrous for the US. Vietnam will look like a kids' play by comparison. Ask yourself, if Biden, Ursula or whoever runs the show were presented with the proposal: "You need to dis out XXX billion (make it a trillion if you like) dollars and that will defeat Russia and bring Putin to his knees.", would they have not jumped at it in a blink of an eye? - They would. You know they would. Unfortunately for them though, money alone cannot win this war. I would go as far as say that the Republicans were actually making Biden a favour by delaying the authorization: during all that time the administration had a perfect excuse - "it is the Republicans!". Now that the money has been authorized, there is no longer an excuse for the continuing failure. In the end, what were 61B going to do that the already spent 400-500B did not? US makes some 500-550 Patriot missiles a year. Some 30-40K 155mm shells a month. ATACMS are no longer produced. M777 are no longer produced.
Yep pretty accurate. No one seems to understand that Russia considered Ukraine joint NATO as an exetential threat to their security and will pay any price to remove it. They consider this their great patriotic war are fighting this war World War 2 style irrespective of losses. They will win just like they did back in 45.

Having adequate supplies of weapons and personnel would change the outcome of every war in history. The idea that the enemy will not be able to match you on the battlefield is part of war strategy. To hear people stating the obvious as the reason for a loss is disappointing .
Even if weapons are coming faster, the outcome will still be the same.

@@nicolasolton Lack of realistic thinking ... But I am sure, when USA tells Zelensky that he has to go to the negotiation table he will do ... and the outcome will be "Land for peace"
It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal. -Henry Kissinger
You'd think Ukraine would surrender by now.
Volume off, Thanks DW News.
Send German troops
yep they should free their country from usa ocupation
Macron will send the Legion if and when Ukraine makes such a request.
@@nicolasolton it will be a spectacle that will end in tears
Nah, German troops should stay where they are.
@@nicolasoltonfrench is already in Odesa, waiting to become frenchfries 🍟🍟
Kuddos for real reporting
Germany should have sent the $60 billion a long time ago
They dont struggle to hold back. The are falling back. The struggle seems to be over
after 400 billion, and they are still retreating, of course the US will send another 600 billion😂😂😂
I wonder where those billions are going. Not into the battle field it seems. Maybe into some peoples pockets
@@Greenbay-bn3yk Mostly back to US defense contractors' pockets. We're giving them "money" to buy weapons from us, and since defense contractors are public companies they need to make a profit.
A lot of money also "disappeared" ! There was even an investigation by USA including the CIA chief came on this to Ukraine. There were also numbers on this in US media, cannot remember exactly. Ukraine is still second place after Russia at the European Corruption Index !
NATO will continue to support Ukraine as this war is cheap. $ 60bn for the US was less than 10% of the annual US defence budget. Meanwhile Russia is at 30% of its entire Gov budget to finance this war. For Russia its costly.
Is easy to print more money...we all pay this war throught elevate inflation
Fear of the bear??
i don't understand how Ukraine think they can go to war using donations.
The west is not operating a war economy, so this will be an ongoing struggle, whilst that remains the case. This could ultimately be the achilleas heel of this defence effort.
It`s not 60 billions. Get your numbers right
Chasir yah has already been captured
Fight your own wars ! We don’t wanna help you !!!
Now American is seening Russia their prize of 60 billion dollars of America weapons 😂😂
