Previously we talked about the build-up to the new stage of the Russo-Ukrainian War, how Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine continued, and covered events between February 24th and April 7th, as we saw how Ukraine managed to win the first phase of the war. This set up the second phase of the war - battle of Donbas. In the previous video we covered the events of April of 2022 ( • Battle of Donbas Begin... ) including the sinking of the rocket cruiser Moskva - • How did the Sinking of... , and how the conflict turned into the war of attrition in May ( • War of Attrition - Rus... ) and continued with Russia's best month in June ( • Russia's Best Month - ... ). In this video dedicated to July - the 5th month of the war, we will talk about the arrival of the HIMARS systems which strengthened Ukrainian positions and changed the war.

[Kings and Generals]

Hope you guys liked the video! I love using YouGov to make easy cash! Click my link www.influencerlink.org/SHDRG #YouGovPartner

[Ted Crilly]

EU providing huge aid. Go Germany.

[Romel Negut]

@Roboman He would have made something up in order to justify the war.

[Hans O'lowe]

You may be the only person who cannot pronounce "Wagner". He's a somewhat famous composer, you know.

[Abdullah Ibn Aziz]

Request to make a video on Syrian civil war

[Andriy Reshetun]

Being Ukrainian, I really appreciate the education you provide to people! The August and September videos are gonna be insanely great 😁 great video and we appreciate you spreading information, vecause the war isn't over even though it's not as trendy anymore

[Pied Piper]

Increasingly hype for the September video! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

[Pied Piper]

@Carl Sobrado Hi, American Hawk here. I absolutely want to pay for this war. It’s way cheaper to crush Russia this way + no American lives are being lost. This war is insanely good for America. We get to test all our weapons, kick our rival’s ass, and it’s all without having to lose our lives to do it.

[Juanny Rum]

@Pied Piper It's good to hear (if true) that some regional Russian leaders are voicing opinion against Vlad's failures -sadly they waited so long to do so, hopefully more will join in, and Vlad will be forever removed, along with those who still back Vlad 100%. Treat Vlad like Mussolini - for he will forever be in the background, waiting to rise-up again.

[Keith Sogge]

Thanks for giving detailed descriptions of what is happening in Ukraine. Your monthly summaries are far more informative than any news site offering a snippet of info before moving on to another subject.

[Jake Sully]

Look up Perun

[Jackson Ang]

everyone who talks about ukraine get shadow banned this channel is documenting the war as historical context that is why it wont be blocked while any opinions about the war will be blocked . this is why this channel is so imprtant and rare its literally the only source of the real war, seriously go try and find some other videos they dont exist this guy is awesome

[archangel 666]

And the news being super biased

[Rob Rob]

Russia is just trying to stop some Nazis, show the Mother Land some damn support Keith!

[Sunny]

I really MUST give HUGE kudos to our narrator! I am truly impressed at how you just rattle off those Russian/Ukrainian names/towns with zero hesitation or stumbling. You must spend an impressive amount of time practicing and I'd like to let you know how very much it is appreciated and admired! I have to sound out each syllable like I did learning to read in Kindergarten!

[Artsy Ork]

Its true i was impressed aswell.

[Towarzysz Seba]

he pronounces them all from transcription (so transcribed from ukrainian/russian to english), the way he pronounces those names has little in common with how the names actually sound in ukrainian/russian.

[Walking pathfinder]

True. Names are not easy for pronounciation. The narrator is really great at reading them properly...

[Sean Delaney]

I felt the same way. First timer will follow.

[To Cu]

@Towarzysz Seba of course, but even the transcribed ones are difficult to pronounce as they don't sound naturally as English

[MalaVolpe]

I would adore if y'all covered the Kharkiv and Kherson offensives. The way y'all have been covering this subject has been very good and informative. I appreciate it.

[Kings and Generals]

We are working on it

[Maria Erias]

Now, into the second week of September, it's actually pretty astonishing that Ukraine managed to not only hold the Russians in the northeast and east, but also assault towards Kherson while preparing for a massive assault to take the Russian regional logistics base at Kup'yansk and liberate all the way down to Izium in a matter of days. In ten days, the Ukrainian military reclaimed four times the territory that the previous three months of Russian aggression took. Here's hoping it's only the beginning and that soon this war will be over and the Russian people will force Putin to pay for his crimes.

[Misha]

I am from the future Its even better now ;)

[Isaac Sorrels]

@Totally Not Alpharius I think there's some untalked about brilliance with those ukranian offensives because of those very reasons. Ukraine is pushing hard to gain alot of its territory back before winter sets in. Then it can defend in the winter after ensuring a near immediate counter attack from Russia due to the damage the Russian losses would have on Putins position. He can't afford to organize through the winter and wait until spring if his nation gets embarrassed by Ukranian territorial gains. The mobilization has already increased the tension in the country. He would risk too much civil discontent.

[Use Odysee or Bitchute]

"actually pretty astonishing" Not necessary. It takes at least half a year to train a new recruit and Ukrainian army was flooded with volunteers at start of the war. So with Russian having problems to replace their attrition and weapons steadily flowing one should have expected changing balance after 7-8 months.

[Joseph Franzen]

I just spent a little over 3 months in the Ukraine and luckily was tasked to a foreign legion staffed mostly by English speaking shooters. That being said, the narrator annunciates each and every region, village, geographical landmark, city, etc better than any of us could! Thank god for topo maps and drones. 😂

[Yegor Bassic]

Huge thank you!

[jamesmichaeljones]

Shooters? Are you sure you are not confusing reality with your video games. You must be American. You are talking about brave soldiers, not assassins.

[Moritami Kamikara]

@jamesmichaeljones He might not have English as his first language. A lot of people learn English to better speak to foreigners because its the most common second language. Maybe he's German or Spanish or something

[Kx250fmx]

Being an addict of this channel, everything is referenced from and in a time -in many cases- that we might only imagine the battleground scenario, troop and equipment configurations, as well as the interactions and personal lives of all parties pertinent from their infancy to the positions they attained-from pauper to War Lord. But now-almost surreally- you are presenting current history as it's being randomly cast throughout a world where there seems to be little consideration regarding the "Doomed to repeat it" warning. This channel has presented a brilliant foil between opinionated "History" sources/ channels and true, honest, and humble professors and instructors in basic humanity and its self-inflicting atrocities.

[MasterChiefSamus]

Next video is gonna be good, but I can't wait for the one covering September. Seeing Ukraine finally succeed in a massive push is a thing of beauty, and that's even before KaG provides their expert perspective!

[Folav]

Tell me about it!!

[Koh Wen Xu]

@Folav Ukrainians basically retook most of the Kharkiv Oblast west of the Oskil River occupied by Russia. So basically they retook Kupiansk, Izium and reached the Ukrainian-Russian border there

[Jonny qwest]

I was a 13M in the us army 30 years ago, MLRS was my weapon system. HIMARS is a subspecies, but delivers the same advantages

[Michael WolfGadsby]

As a former HIMARS gunner I always wondered how this technology would play out in a state on state war.

[Wynn Silver]

I've been getting recommendations for your videos for forever now and this is the first I've decided to watch. I've got to say your presentation is top notch and you kept me well engaged. Narration, maps, graphics, and everything else... it's all top notch. You're a pro. I'll definitely check out some of your other vids.

[Kings and Generals]

We mostly specialize in making videos on ancient and medieval history, but you can find content on almost any era.

[TroutofHate]

Interesting to note here is the lack of mention of "battalion tactical groups" and more usage of brigade sized units by the Russians. Don't know if the BTG movements are just being attributed to the brigade level or if the Russians did indeed reform their military organization.

[Kings and Generals]

There is an ongoing conversation about it in the OSINT community. We think that a bunch of decimated BTGs are fighting together in brigades.

[TroutofHate]

@Kings and Generals Wow, thanks for the answer to this question! Thumbs up and keep up the good work with these documentaries. Your well-informed vids are a privilege to watch.

[swaghauler]

@Kings and Generals With the same manpower as a BGT. That's the price you pay for being undermanned to start with. My Uncle Sam learned this the hard way in Afghanistan in the early 2000s.

[Jeremy Gibbs]

@Dan Morgan All the U.S. had to do was not invade Iraq. It was a terrible decision that weakened so many aspects of the U.S. in my opinion. But if ya'll keep helping Ukraine, that is a definite good start.

[Salty Monke]

@Kings and Generals yes, several understrength BTGs are bundled up especially after the retreat from the North axis of attack and others are currently under reorganization to create the 3rd Corps on the rear area in Russia southern military district AO. For example a DPR regiment is "attached" to a VDV BTG in Kherson.

[Matt Blom]

It's odd having watched Kings and Generals report on battles of eons past now evolving to report on an actual set piece war in Europe. It's still surreal.

[Brikid]

Setpiece isn't a good way to describe it as it's not agreed upon by both parties. People dont really this war on either side.

[Tyler Livingston]

Dear god, the September video for this conflict is going to be insane. Very much looking forward to it.

[tiamat_023]

So, there's a planning aspect to this that can't be underestimated. When two military staff's plan to fight one another, you make plans based on facts and assumptions. As a former FA officer, if my enemy has 105mm howitzers, I would send 155mm howitzers against them to out range them (If i can). If all of a sudden they had HIMARS.... run... just run...or hide... it's either that or lose your most valuable asset on the battlefield. Imagine moving forward in technology by 50 years overnight - I don't envy the Russian FA guys.

[BoxStudioExecutive]

Apparently the Russians DID run. Well, at least the officers ran. LOL

[Draeandor]

@Jason Davis Only that all of the Russian ammo is burning up in warehouses 5.000 to 10.000 pieces at a time! 🤭

[tiamat_023]

@Osere Cassius Osunbor I assure you, friend, as far as field artillery goes, this isn't propaganda, this is a game changer.

[Jan Negrey]

@tiamat_023 Only if deployed in sufficient numbers. First 4 systems were not game changers. Also ATACMS would be very welcomed, since it would force the logistic lines of Russia to be even further from the front lines.

[Napoleon Complex]

You guys bring the snippets of information we get in fragments each month into focus. I can't understate how valuable these videos are for us.

[LuvBorderCollies]

Its helpful to have a month in review even if current events are way ahead, like Iran already has a bunch of UAV's in Russia. But we knew decades ago you can't trust the Iranian govt for the right time of day.

[stacey 11:11rh222]

Don’t watch or listen to main stream media. You will know way more through other sources and when these guys put out videos you will all ready know what’s happening and it’s pretty cool to see how well they do with it month by month.

[Sairobot]

Can’t wait for the August-September video.Ukraine is doing surprisingly well now.

[animatr0nic]

One important note! The Ukrainian word for region - Область (oblast) has a word stress on the first letter (Oblast), not on the fourth (oblAst) like the narrator pronounces it. For all the native speakers of Ukrainian/Belarus/Russian languages this just doesn't sound right. Please upvote this comment, so the admins of the channel get the message and the quality of these documentaries increase.

[Thant Zwe Aung]

"...iMpOrTaNt..."

[autr]

@Thant Zwe Aung it is important, accuracy is important.

[Thant Zwe Aung]

@autr The narrator also pronounced the nation names as "yu-ka-rain" & "ruh-shaa". Majority of target audience isn't students/enthusiasts of linguistics but of history+geopolitics.

[theluggage]

The pronunciation of "oblast" in British English - the language the narrator is speaking, of course - is different and the narrator is pronouncing it perfectly.

[Sergio Corona]

History recorded as it is currently happening cannot be changed by the victorious or by the defeated. Thanks for your hard work on recording history as it unfolds!

[cdb]

It's exactly the same. Who recorded it and what information they decide to share.

[G R]

Imagine the shock of those in Berlin in '45

[Giridharan Velamore]

Wonderful coverage of the war! Congratulations Kings and Generals! 👍👍

[Strange Person]

Imagine if this KZbin channel was around while Caesar was in Gaul, and the Roman citizens were able to watch the videos. This is so big, we are INSIDE the history right now.

[Jacb547]

Caesar regularly sent dispatches back home so it was kind of the same thing

[John Wick]

@Jacb547 not really considering it would have took a while to get there and a lot could have happened by the next time he writes back. With this war we see daily social media updates personally up close for the first time in history this is historic times we’re living in

[BoxStudioExecutive]

@John Wick And? You think that doesn't apply here? These videos are technically out of date by the time they are published. You're moving the goalposts by bringing in "social media updates".

[Pikacz Kowalski]

@John Wick well, some people have really bad internet or can only access it at Internet cafes so that balances itself

[NewLifeRW]

25:00 "The situation in the Kharkiv..front hat remained stable.. as it looks like neither of the sides is ready to deploy forces sufficient to break the stalemate"

[MrKosman123]

I smiled a bit at that part

[Fenrir 787]

Great video. Really shows the impact of HIMARS and MLRS. It's been over 200 years since Napoleon and artillery is still king of the battlefield.

[Ristian Dale Sumala]

We love your content guys. You guys are heroes and are really appreciated.

[Georgiandude]

Like many others said, your videos are useful, as my country shows snippets of it. Surprisingly enough, before the war started(when tensions where at it's highest), I made custom map based on speculations, which was surprisingly accurate on how the war's going.

[buddacafe]

Kings and Generals is fking awesome! You can even listen to these videos like an audio book and still get the gist of what is happening. Should be in our schools in the US in my opinion.

[Fleezy]

Discovered this channel not too long ago and i just wanted to comment how awesome it is with how everything is detailed in these videos. I am definitely tuning in.

[Jesse Hachey]

Just found this channel - this youngish vet with a couple science can’t get over their mastery of dynamic maps in explaining the situation. Awesome!

[D B]

Excellent as always. We need a new video on the successful counteroffensive in Kharkiv!

[Lorum Ipsum]

Man, the next two videos of this war are going too be nuts

[Kings and Generals]

Very much so

[RussellALE]

You are doing an incredible job here!! This is the best analysis of the current conflict anywhere on the internet, and it's so helpful to understand world events. Keep up the amazing work my friends 👍

[Linda Lee]

See Perun for much more in-depth coverage of military matters including focusing on Ukraine. Animarchy and Wendover have some long videos too.

[stacey 11:11rh222]

Speak the truth, Denys Davdyov, Jake broe, amongst about 30 others you could be checking out on you tube and you would know way more about this conflict. This war is the most documented in history and most people still look to mainstream internet. I just don’t get it lol

[Pe Trik]

Slava Ukraine! Hail Ukraine and all the brave men and women of Ukraine!

[CycleSavior N]

This is the quality i expect from a war where the information is written in thousands of books and sources, not an ongoing war. Give yourself and your team bonuses you all deserve it

[insenkiv]

Love from Ukraine and thank you for the coverage. I know it's a little touch to most, but Ukrainian spelling of our territories is also highly appreciated.

[RussellALE]

I always wondered why so many Ukrainian town and cities were labeled on the map, and it makes so much more sense now. I'm from the US, so I don't know many Ukrainian towns, but I would certainly want them labeled if I knew the area better. Stay strong 💪

[-:p!*]

@RussellALE the donbass/east of Ukraine is where most of their farming industry is Russian occupation of Ukrainian land is halting their economy as it is in a stalemate

[insenkiv]

@Bocão protection of our language carries meaning to us, something you, I suppose, cannot understand from your personal experience. This comment carries ignorance, think twice before you write.

[Paladin Aeon]

I honestly can’t wait for September’s recap of the war, because holy heck is the Russian army getting dunked on hard. I hope it continues like so as we near the end of the year.

[Nebito_Gaming]

I absolutely love your channel, your narrative skills and the absolute masterful execution of your point delivery. I hope your channel continues it’s tough road to educate those whom may be so awfully misinformed. I love it when my phone pings with a notification for a new kings and generals video, probably the highlight of my day. Thanks again 🙏🏼

[Kevin Bonilla]

Love Love Love the video! Excellent job Kings and Generals! I am addicted to this channel! I learn more about the war's events every month on this channel than on any primary news channel. They barely touch on the war besides live update pages such as NYTimes. I barely can stay up to date using those traditional methods. I look forward to this channel's videos every month and it clarifies clearly and efficiently every single major event we need to know about.

[Megapangolin]

Incredible amount of detail and information, totally impressed by how much work has gone into this video. Thank you.

[redknight808]

This is increadible! Absolutely fantastic reporting and graphics. I would love to see the entire conflict presented this way... *looks for more of the same*

[Yassified]

I do love these videos that explain the battles in Ukraine.

[Giorgi Jioshvili]

@Niko for you i guess...

[Schmerzbold]

@Niko How come russia is struggling so bad if this video is BS?

[Keanen Fulton]

@Niko Russia is bleeding out in Ukraine buddy, get with the program

[Yassified]

@Niko If it's BS then tell me what exactly is wrong here? Lol-

[Mus Masi]

​@Schmerzbold I mean how can they not call it a war when they need to pass laws like they did to force private companies to follow state orders like that? I mean that is some military operation when it needs that much support.

[Matthew Gurski]

Thanks to everyone at that this channel! It is so hard to reliable information on this topic. You are doing a public service by providing non-biased and detailed updates on the war.

[Daniels 03]

Been waiting for weeks for this video, super glad to get to watch it now. Really paints an accurate picture like no other analysis I've seen. Keep up the amazing work

[C0mr4d3C0V!D19]

isalmeda you like how Putin said the “special military operation” would be over in 3 days? Then 3 weeks? Then it was by May 9? Then it was “We never said May 9…”? Now I think it’s supposed to be over by February of next year? Just admit it, Russia’s getting its ass handed to it by a country that should have been a cake walk.

[Daniels 03]

@UCajMSPzUSyYS2jYT8hWznjw He states available sources, but he does mention that actual losses may differ. Personally I think that the Russians sit at around 30k dead and 50k-ish wounded and the Ukrainians are roughly somewhere in that area aswell. That doesn't mean both sides perform equally well though. For example, I for one I believe that the Ukrainian infantry outclasses the Russians in most regards. They have more well trained troops on the ground, their guys are generally better equiped, and while both sides deploy large number of hastly trained troops, the Ukrainian rookies are still more motivated and determined, which is a very important factor. The Ukrainian soldier wants to jump in the Russian trench and shoot them in the face. The Russian soldier wants to get his money and go home, he is as motivated and dedicated as a McDonald's employee. The casualties are more or less even because the Russians simply shell entire grid squares day in and day out for weeks and weeks at a time. I know you didn't ask, that was just my 2 cents.

[Per Aspera ad Astra]

@Daniels 03 good point, but russians had heavier losses than Ukrainians. According Ukrainian Ministry of Defence, today, 27.08.2022 russian-terroristic forces lost 47 thousand of killed. This indicates only visually transparented, confirmed by video fixation or by intelligence approve. Of course it sounds more than ASIW or British Intelligence reported week ago about 85 thousands killed and non-return wounded russians). But in that number they didn’t include Rosgvardia (Russian police special forces), LPR/DPR separstists, Abkhaz separatists regiment, Syrian hitmans, Vagner, Liga, Rusich and other near nazi volunteers regiments, regiments of other troops, Belorussian mercenaries etc. So, if count as 25 thousand killed russian forces as per British and Anerican intelligence reported week ago and compare with 44 thousand killed russian -terroristic troops as per Ukraine (which tries to give accurate calculation of losses to western partners) means that another 19 thousand of russian-terroristic losses are all those combatant war criminals who is not in official army losses count. So, Commander in Chief of Ukrainian army - Valeriy Zaluzhnyi 3 days ago reported almost 9 thousand killed Ukrainian defenders. It’s around 4 times less than total russian terroristic forces and 2,5 times less than minimal calculation of US and UK intelligence calculation of only russian army ground forces (except Rosguards and other separatist militia and war criminals detachments).

[Joseph Lee]

I can't wait for the next episode. A lot has happened since this last video.

[John Doe]

what an incredible job you do. any chance you good folks could expand your remit to include regular, or perhaps weekly updates regarding events and analysis of the ukraine war?

[zachery walker]

I’ve been watching your channel since early 2017 you are honestly my favorite KZbinr I would love to have a job doing what you do or helping with research for a channel like this you really really have helped me through some bad times and helped me to forget about my problems and learn at the same time history is amazing and you’re the new history channel of the world thank you

[andrew young]

The narrator also has a gaming channel where he reviews games. It’s called OffyD’s Game Grounds

[zachery walker]

@andrew young I’m not big on game review vids tbh but I subbed to him a while ago I usually just play the game though that way I don’t go in with any already decided positions on the game

[Nicholas Stirman]

Thanks for the information, always love the historic videos and having recent events really adds to your channel. Appreciate you.

[A Anderson]

Another Amazing video great job compiling all this information... Igor Girken was the one who helped start this conflict back in 2014... hopefully soon Girken and Putin will be history ⏳️⏰️⚖️🪃🪆🧨💣🔥🚬🚽🚜🌻

[Daniel L]

Good video. Clean presentation of this phase of the war, good overview of the significant events during this timeframe.

[Nathan Wilson]

Thank you for another update video on the war. It seems like I don't hear a ton about it anymore. Hopefully it will end soon. Stay well out there everybody, and God be with you, friends. ✝️ :)

[KnightOfCovenant1098]

So excited for another video. Love your style. I can feel the sense of duty and honor inside of it.

[Max Shylov]

Thank you for doing your job, amazing documentaries as always. Greetings from Ukraine!

[GG]

Stay strong 💪, massive respect to ukraine and its fighting men , time is on your side know matter how long it takes ukraine will be Free . From ireland 🇮🇪 . (Better the grave than a slave ) fight smart and when the conditions are in your favour.

[Bradley Baker]

I enjoy the channel and appreciate the coverage on the conflict in Ukraine.

[Muad'Dib]

Thanks guys! Great coverage as always. Keep it coming.

[Chris Minor]

Could you please tell us what mapping tool you use for your map animations? It looks great and is very well done! Great work

[Kings and Generals]

Thank you! We use Blender with a bunch of plugins

[Per Aspera ad Astra]

@Kings and Generals I’m Ukrainian and watching precisely what’s going on and how situation on the fronts of our war is changing. I can confirm reality and proximity to the truth of the events described in your videos. I also watched some other your videos. It’s absolutely amazing job! 👍Thank you for doing this! 👏

[Draeandor]

Stay strong and don't loose hope! Slava Ukraini!

[Samuel Thompson]

You have to love the fact that Ukraine has to be some of the most tank friendly terrain in the world; just 12 percent forested. Yet the most tank laden army in the world has spent six months destroying cities and then occupying the rubble. What ever happened to Tukachevsky's Deep Battle? Where are the great encirclements? Why is this nothing like Operation Bagration? At least it isn't Tannenberg 1914 again.

[Zircillius]

Based off the interviews I've seen of ordinary Russians from KZbinrs like 1420, full mobilization would receive an overwhelmingly negative response in Moscow and St. Petersburg. It seems the majority of educated or affluent Russians still support the war but only because it hasn't directly impacted their lives, as most the troops in Ukraine are from rural regions, marginalized republics like Chechnya, foreign countries or the LPR and DPR. There's no way Putin will be able to maintain majority support if he starts forcing middle class ethnic Russians to die for his war

[Wydi]

1420 is obviously very biased in favor of urban, "europhile" Russians in the western part of the country. Are you aware of any other similar channels with similar videos from rural and/or eastern Russians? Genuine question, I'm curious.

[Regina Nazarkewich]

I've read that they're now going to mobilize in Moscow and St Petersburg..they have no choice.

[Dylan Vogler]

@Wydi actually lately they have also have recorded videos in rural areas

[Thinking man]

@Regina Nazarkewich no they won't. It will be small scale. It wont impact the war much...

[Jeffrey Wall]

Can’t wait for the the next episode, a lot happening everyday.

[john USAS]

Not a criticism just a heads up HIMARS is pronounced High and Mars not He-Mars. Source currently serving soldier in the US Army that's worked alongside HIMARS operators. But great job on the war break down very informative and help with the information overload that comes from the news every day.

[Me Flux]

It's a great documentary work that will describe all the war events for future generations. Thank you!

[Isaac Patton]

I love this series so much, and thank you for making these! I do have one suggestion however. I noticed whenever referencing claims each country made, you would put a note in parenthesis after the claim. However, when you referenced Ukrainian claims, you did not do that as often. I do side with Ukraine, but I know that your goal is to make as unbiased of a docuseries as possible, and I feel like this would just push more towards that goal. Keep up the great work!!!

[Walking pathfinder]

Of course. Killing could happen from either sides. One never knows exactly who is right and who is wrong. War makes a killer both a just and an unjust man. Killing is always there... Both on the side of the conqueror and on the side of the invaded. No war is ever a just war on both sides.

[Edgardo Cruz]

Accurate figures,decent animations and no annoying music!good job!!!!

[ValensBellator]

It’s become increasingly clear that Russia will eventually *have* to mobilize to take significantly more territory or hold what they have, and Ukrainian enthusiasm hasn’t diminished. What goes unmentioned is how damaging that would be not just to Putin’s political situation, but to Russia’s already teetering economy.

[Mousse9]

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but...imagine you're a Russian civilian, just going to work, and suddenly you're conscripted, have to go to war in Ukraine, and STAY there to occupy the territory. Where the population hates you and sees you (rightfully) as the invader. Not only will Russia lose a chunk of its workforce and economy, the soldiers themselves would probably have a real nasty time of it. Bombings, sabotage, guerrilla tactics by the Ukrainian population... Ukraine is huuuge too, so a LOT of people are needed to keep it occupied.

[Alex Q]

@Mousse9if that ever happens it’ll be like a European version of what happened in Syria/Iraq/Afghanistan in terms of guerrilla warfare

[Mousse9]

@Alex Q Yeah, my thoughts went to Afghanistan too. Two things I wanted to add though. I read somewhere (can't remember where, sorry), that Russia is aiming to purge the Ukrainians from Ukraine, and replace them with Russians from Russia itself. No Ukrainians, no revolt. Another thing is that maybe Russia will do it in chunks instead of all at once. Look at Crimea, there were a lot of Russians vacationing there when the airport got bombed. Just bite off a chunk, move Russians in, rinse and repeat. First Crimea, then the east with all its industries and resources, and more recently the southern coastline. Wasn't that one of Putin's strategies? Invade a part, like Crimea, sue for peace (and keep the land as part of the peacedeal), settle it with Russians, invade another part, sue for peace, settle it with Russians, etc. A viable tactic if the west keeps giving Putin more land until everything is taken.

Russia obviously can't mobilize. If it could, it would have done so months ago, around the time when it became clear that the war isn't going to end quickly. Every single passing day allows Ukraine to train more troops and receive more foreign help, only making their armed forces stronger, while Russia already had to bring tanks built in the sixties out of storage to fill their mechanized units. By the end of the year, the balance of power will be on Ukrainian side.

If I worked at television news company, I'd buy and use this content for viewers. What a quality presentation of current events!

[Miloslav Tlamicha]

Oh boy, in the light if September events on the battlefield, I'm super pumped for the next video!

[Walking pathfinder]

Absolutely the only clear version of the ukranian war, that I have ever heard. The military operations are really clearly represented in detail and make it possible to understand exactly what's going on. This summerized information regarding the conflict has no comparison with any other information given by either the press or TV. Thanks very much for your help.

[Paul Ceglinski]

This is probably the best explanation of events in Ukraine. Thanks K&G.

[ASNS117Zero]

Never thought I'd be familiar enough with the geography of Ukraine of all places to be able to recognize where I'm looking at within it on a map, but events have a strange way of making us learn odd things. lol

[McJibbin]

Great video as always keep up the great work! 😀

[J. J. Jacobsen]

Exceptionally well done, thank you!

[STUDI0TK]

thank you for this really well made and convenient timeline.

[The Bayandur Poghosyan Show]

Can't wait for the episode on the events of August/September.

[Kings and Generals]

writing as we speak

[The Bayandur Poghosyan Show]

@Kings and Generals thanks for the great work you're doing.

[Iɴɴᴏᴍɪɴᴀᴛᴜs]

@Kings and Generals You're doing the lord's work. Great job!

[p]

you seem to be doing a better job at explaining this than the us government

[Stian Tomstad]

The defensive aksjons by Ukraine is just impressive.

[D Roddy]

Can we appreciate how this channel just gives us the facts without any personal opinion for either side? That’s rare in this day in age

[Strider Adamus]

Not really, the issue these days is that the consumer of the information has a narrative or opinion. . . .and as such finds the facts to be offensive.

[Peo]

then you should now that Swedish antitank weaponry are making better war than americans weaponry. K&G dont even recognice swedish support :(

[Pelda]

You will propably have lot of material for thus month :D looking like end of war is sooner then anyone expected.

[Paukachu]

It is far from ending. But there will be a lot of of research to do for the summary, especially "Ukraine's Blitzkrieg"

[Georgiy Belobrov]

as an Odessan citysen who saw the calliber rockets fly just tens meters above me i comfirm that you can trust this channel

[Jeff Zain]

How time has turns. The channel goes from commenting history of war into actually commenting on real time war

[Alexander Lin]

No kings but quite a few dead generals in this war

[Matheus Rondel Leite]

No one is safe in modern warfare

[Karl Dubhe]

Give it time, I'm sure a 'king' will follow his generals.

[Se7enwonders]

I see what you did there 👀

[Mario Tilocca]

Can’t wait to see the videos about 🇺🇦 counterattacks! Great content as always!

[Crispian Chealuks]

the oddest thing about this war is that it could dramatically change not based on the victories on the battlefield, not even in the countries involved but on an election this November and how the La Niña (a pacific ocean weather phenomenon) will affect the world this coming fall and winter.

[Richard M]

Great work - the animation changes make this video easier to follow than the previous ones!

[Tino Esteban]

Interested to see how it would develop the question of Iranian drones "requested" by Russia. As Russian has already rejected an agreement for the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and the talks between US, EU and Iran for the development of nuclear power. The Iranian gov. would not want to enter in further conflict if it is able to lift its sanctions on nuclear power.

[Howling Wolf]

Probably the best video I’ve seen With helping to understand the movement on the ground in this conflict.

[Disciple of Dagon]

With Kharkiv oblast liberated, we can now safely say.... Kherson was a feint.

[Joshke]

The "special retreat" was a faint to surround the Ukrainians in Vladivostok, as evidenced by training on the other side of the world

[Disciple of Dagon]

@Joshke Damn, Putin is really playing 5D chess rn frfr

[LokoMike]

He is losing badly if that's the case.

[Kieran Gobey]

The excruciating level of detail covered here is remarkable.

[Edmund Mortimer]

I love K&G !! Thank you for covering this conflict. Slava Ukraini !

[Zeek]

Don’t personally care about either side of the conflict, just interested in what’s going on. Appreciate the video!

[John Campbell]

Thank you so much for an objective timeline presentation. Extremely informative reliable.

[Rokas Anonimas]

This monthly review is cool, we need one for August ASAP 💯

[dudeboy17 dudeboy17]

Can you guys please cover the Russian expansion in Siberia (1580-1778)?

[Dougie]

Love these videos guys and girls. Very informative on the war.

[Fire fist Ace]

i hope you guys will include to liberation of Ukraines large territories in the next video.

[Dead Horse Gaming]

You guys are absolute legends. Thank you so much for making this content. Nobody else - the world, youtube, whatever - is doing anything like this and it's amazing to watch.

[Robbie Ingram]

The August Edition of this is going to be banging! Great work!

[mama mary]

God bless Ukraine

[Misha Whiteout Survival OMG]

Few comments: Ukraine haven’t made a deal on grain with Russia. Ukraine made deal with Turkey and UN. Same deal made Russia on other side. And arrows you were shown is not true. Only on northwestern side of Black Sea was able to export grain. Arrows from east side actually the way where Russian are exporting grain stolen from Ukraine

[Nati Minilike]

I really feel for the soliders that are marching into war they hold the power of wagging wars but they are not even listened out

[Allen Gilbert]

Great video as always, and I love the little minimap in the corner. It's nice to see you're always trying to improve yourselves, even when the bar is already set so high.

[Jeff Basen]

Can't wait for you to make another video on Russian feints in Balakliya, or was it Ku'piansk? Or was it Izyum?

[Kings and Generals]

Feints galore
