This video is absolutely amazing and very accurate. I remember each of these events as if it were yesterday. Especially when I had a class in the college and just read that Kherson was liberated. It was so surprising that it was hard to believe, but everyone was very happy. Although, it was a little under-emphasized that a vastly superior enemy force was held in a completely surrounded Mariupol for 82 days and for 86 days in general. An absolute feat. Also the fact that the small hero city of Bakhmut has been held for about 9 months by now is no less a feat, despite the fact that Russia is throwing almost all of its free resources into this direction and the same 9 months declares that the city will fall in just a little while. I wanted everyone to know about the exploits of our heroes, because it is very difficult to survive in that hell and not go crazy. By the way, I liked it from the first seconds of the video. It is not so often that someone mentions that the war did not start on February 24, 2022, but much earlier. It is important

It really is hard to believe just how much of an impact HIMARS has had in the war, and the fact a single weapon system has had such a dramatic and obvious effect still boggles the mind. Literally overnight the russian artillery advantage dropped massively.

[@opossum2255]

@@comensee2461 While this is true, the resources required to dull the impact of Himars is huge. Scattering ammo and shells between different warehouses. Constant radar monitoring and gps jamming. Limited fuel supplies and such.

[@demomanchaos]

@@comensee2461 Not entirely true, the main thing HIMARS has done is force the russians to move their supply depots far away from the lines which with how beyond gods awful their logistics are has massively reduced the amount of firepower they can deploy. While there aren't as many things being blown up the effect has been very significant.

Great video, very informative

[@Glynn.McCarthy]

Fantastic as usual. I wish the news was as high quality as this content.

Another great mini-documentary, keep the good work k&g team.

A superb summation of the key points, although I was surprised that you didn't include the battle at Hostomel Airport, which the Ukrainians won, preventing Russia from simply flying thousands of troops in very close to Kyiv.

[@robertwisniewski2029]

I think it's part of a larger fight for Kiev, there were several equally important battles, the battle for Hostomel was the most media-relevant of them

Thank you for supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦

[@kenstrumpf909]

This was great. Thanks!

[@72Kraken]

Love the artwork and animations. Top quality production. You could release those images as wallpapers, they are so good

[@decemberferret]

Awesome video. I've been following along since it kicked off, but to have it all laid out here will maps etc is a great overview

before watching: turning the flagship Moscwa into a submarine has to be on the list.

Depends. Symbolically, it's a huge thing, but strategically, sinking her didn't change much.

​@@miceliusbeverus6447 It did get the black sea fleet away from the coast. It also demonstrated shocking ineptitude and complacency on the part of the Russian navy. They should have been able to shoot down those missiles and be good enough at damage control to not have her SINK!

[@Albert-Mag...]

A great moral booster for all of the Ukrainian people

[@mesofius]

​@@miceliusbeverus6447 it changed literally everything, russian navy was kicked out of the area and the Snake Island was liberated, this saved Odesa and basically the country is Moldova from a marine assault

[@davidmccann9811]

Great video as usual, and the animation really adds to it.👍

[@silkaverage]

holy sh*t the opening cinematic animations are on point, the animators deserve a beer

[@ronanmcn4967]

The animations in the beginning are amazing

[@anvar313]

The quality of the content is outstanding. Many thanks to the authors.

[@cparty7790]

The art and editing of this video is amazing... and the info too...

[@skeletstone6782]

Props to the artists who made this visually possible

[@knpark2025]

I really want this channel's next video on this topic to be the "aftermath" of the war. 🙏

[@acidburn3562]

amazing video brother and amazing research. good job

[@ClawsNGloves]

Thanks KnG your video's are awesome.

[@emilycoleslaw]

hi this is a great video and i love the new animation style but i'm pretty sure have the city of ivano-frankivsk incorrectly labeled on your map. the city is located much closer to the romanian border and the bystrytsia river. i think the city you have labeled as ivano-frankivsk is actually khmelnytskyi by the southern buh river. it would be nice if you could fix this for your next incredible update for us. thanks, love all of your videos! :)

[@FlyshBung]

Its not just that, the whole zoomed out map is innacurate as hell. I think its a stylistic choice, but i would prefer accurate depictions.

[@emilycoleslaw]

@@FlyshBung i'm glad someone else noticed! now that you mentioned it, it could be a stylistic choice but i also agree that a more accurate map would be nice. these are still great videos though. :)

[@filmboy95]

This series in incredible! Even the middle cast animation pictures offer such a nice little spice to the quality of the production!

[@avaragejavacoder]

Very precious work. Thanks for your effort

[@12CadetSpaceCadet]

Great job 👏🏻 Thank you !
