When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, its military and economic resources greatly surpassed those of Ukraine. Ukraine's allies could back it up, but in order for the help arrive it needed to survive long enough.

Hello everyone, I'm from Kharkiv. I remember well the morning when the war started. The roar of multiple launch rocket systems, civil defense sirens, people in huge lines, someone just grabs children and puts them in cars, forgetting things right next to them. I sealed the windows with tape and turned on the TV. By evening, the city seemed to have died out, garbage that was not taken out was rolling around in the wind, only ambulances and military equipment on the avenues, Russian planes bomb factories multiple time, miss. My high-rise building was cowardly like cardboard. The whole next week there were heavy street battles, machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars, a couple of "Urals" drove into the very center of the city (as if then a computer game where you need to capture the point)

[@Daniel-nf1gq]

Important parts of the struggle that you did not include are terrain and weather. Northern Ukraine is full of forests and hills, making it hard to maneuver with heavy equipment there and easier to defend. While southeast is basically one huge steppe, offensive there was so successful in big part due to place being just a half empty fields with few key points and no natural borders, Donetsk frontline could catch up on some defensible positions, so it stands, in Luhansk there was nowhere to stand the ground for the most part, so russians were able to quickly push for huge chunk of land until they were stalled at the first defence line. War is also turned from the ambush slaughterfest to the classic frontlines struggle because seasons changed. In the early spring all ground was essentially just a mud, you couldn't traverse whenever you want, you'll get bogged, so russians were forced to move almost exclusively by the roads. So combined with foresty terrain in the north this resulted in the astonishing casualties for russian forces there due to guerilla warfare.

[@nvelsen1975]

Plus judging by what happened, Russia never did proper recon. It used to be one of my jobs, satrecon. Not a specialist mind you. Still, stunned at how dumb Russia was, I did the work. It took me about two hours to scout by satelite one of the routes from Belarus to Kiyv, identify boggy or difficult terrain for scouts to mark and maps to show, to identify some points of ambush and whip up a rough road capacity estimate with the locations of chokepoints. Implying that somehow, Russia that prepared this war for years, didn't do that.... It's really hard to explain how we know from them building bases that they prepared for years, but yet something you STILL can do even if you tell your analysts only 1 day in advance, Russia did not do.

[@romualdcaffeserre6230]

@@nvelsen1975 Hmmmm, I think the explanation is actually pretty simple. Recon was made, the higher ups just didnt gave a shit about the result of that recon. Think about it, the higher ups (a.k.a putin and his crew) had already decided to invade ukraine, and were sniffing their own propaganda about how strong and powerfull the russian army is and how swift victory would be. In those circumstances, any reports that claimed the task ahead would be difficult for the russian army was ignored or ridiculed. After all, we know at this point Putin seriously thought the ukrainian resistance would be symbolical at best, and launched an attack on Kyiv in hope of capturing the capital immediatly.

So I think it can be summed up in the following points - 1. Ukraine choose better tactics of defending from cities rather than dispersing their forces to hold at the border. 2. Russia opened war on 4 fronts with insufficient number of troops. 3. No element of surprise from the Russians. They just tried Rushing for the Ukrainian capital with insufficient number of troops which was rather predictable. 4. Russians didn't mobilize. It can clearly be seen from the video that they are so short on troops that they can't launch offensives from both the directions to secure and encircle salients, which leads to over extension of the spearheads and simplification of problems for the Ukrainians.

[@thiccchungo1041]

Also a lack of air superiority and minimal damage to Ukrainian communications, Russia charged in and never carried out any extensive SEAD operations like the US did in Desert Storm, so they had to contend with little to no air support, even worse Ukraine was able to use Turkish Bayraktar drones to devastating effect on Russian convoys near Kyiv, making the urban combat even more painful for Russia. Russia also failed to do any damage to Ukrainian communications, months in and Ukraine was still able to communicate and organize across a massive front almost better than Russia in some sectors

[@dachicagoan8185]

The Russians had the same false idea as the Germans did in Operation Barbarossa. They thought just showing up would cause the whole government to collapse.

[@littlefinger4509]

They can't really mobilize, with the amount of deaths they are taking using civilians would most likely lead to a collapse of the country.

[@VRichardsn]

_Ukraine choose better tactics of defending from cities rather than dispersing their forces to hold at the border_ They clearly took great in avoiding what happened to Poland in 1939, when it overstretched itself trying to defend everything.

[@user-wc5mg5uu9n]

1. Yep. It's called using human shields. They are staging guns and personnel in civilian areas and prevent civilians from leaving which leads to excess number of civilian deaths. Even Amnesty International had to admit this. 2. True. Russians have much fewer troops on the ground than Ukraine that had like 7 waves of mobilization. The breakaway republics of Donbass have mobilized though. But they number less than 50 000 troops in total 3. Looks like the Russians tried for a repeat of Crimea 2014. It was a political decision vs a military one. This tactic worked in the south though and let them take Kherson and Melitipol without fighting. 4. Yes. Because it's not a war but a Special Military Operation. They won't even let you join if you lack combat experience. Lots of people who wanted to enlist and go fight in Ukraine were turned down by the Russian Army because of this. 5. Ukrainians are suffering extreme casualties due to the Russian artillery. Mobs lack weapons, ammunition and get wiped out by long-range guns before they can do anything. It's a slaughter for the defending side. Low morale and frequent desertions. Ukraine keeps plugging gaps with cannon fodder. It really is a proxy war till the last Ukrainian. 6. Russians also don't have the initiative to rush. Time works for them. Europeans experience more and more economic hardships, and the Ukrainian economy is on the verge of collapsing. International support for Ukraine is decreasing. They are suffering horrible casualties. They have lost their industrial and energy-production base in the South-East. Military-related production and repair facilities and most of the pre-war hardware was destroyed by the Russian missiles. No way Ukraine can win the war if NATO doesn't get involved directly, but then it's WW3 and nuclear winter.

Excellent recap.

It might be mentioned that the original plan for the special operation was for a 15-day timetable. There are two places where the video implies something about this, but it’s not entirely clear in the video. Lastly, Russians failure to gain air superiority should have been mentioned. Setting those criticisms aside, this is an excellent and informative video, recapping the conflict up until recent events.

The weird Russian moves on the very start are solely reasoned by a very bad understanding of situation in Ukraine. The main Putin's adviser on the matters of Ukraine at that time (with is kinda just a half a year ago, but nevertheless) was Vladislav Yurievich Surkov (now he is fired and put under home arrest due to incompetence). Who was vastly exaggerating support of Russia inside of Ukraine. Those fast and deep launches of troops into Ukrainian territory were because Putin was sure the population of Ukraine would support Russians and Ukrainian army will just give up and surrender as it was in Crimea in 2014.

Russia amassed 170+ thousand troops at the border with Ukraine, that is almost *the whole* regular Army of Ukraine (220 thousands).

Obviously in this situation there is a goal to keep as much infrastructure intact and as much people alive and healthy as possible. Russia's plan was to just come, remove the government and that's it. No war at all. To be honest the same mistake of not understanding of how low the support of pro-Russian course in Ukraine Russia kept making for at least 1-2 months of this operation - still hoping Ukrainian army would just surrender. In simple words - it's like a father trying to just slap on the butt his little son for being naughty and the kid gets the baseball bat and tries to kill his parent - obviously a grown man would easily overpower a little kid, it's just father's goal is not to kill his son.

Good video. One thing that you could have mentioned is the help Ukraine got in the defense of Kyiv from the Belarusian opposition. Although Ukrainians themselves successfully ambushed and destroyed many Russian supply columns, I remember reading a statement by the Belarusian opposition leader in exile. The Belarusian opposition reported halting, damaging or stealing something like 82 train carriages of supplies (food, fuel ammunition etc.) that was being sent from Russia through Belarus for the attack on Kyiv. It is hard to say how much this contributed to the Ukrainian overall victory in the defense of Kyiv, but I think that the Belarusian partizans deserve at least an honorable mention, especially now that some of the brave men and women that stopped those trains may be executed if caught.

Very insightful. Especially making it clear how the northern invasion suffered from extremely long flanks thus massively diluting its strength. Also the info about the (mis)deployment of the forces facing Crimea was actually new to me. Of course it was tempting to try and use the chokepoint/bottleneck there to shorten the line so perhaps there was no better choice. Defense in depth and fall back lines at the Dnieper/Melitopol would be possible but that's a much longer line to hold.

It seems Russia didn't mobilise enough troops to perform encirclements, maintain supply lines and destroy Ukrainian units. Sounds like Russia expected Ukraine to lose morale immediately. Maybe they thought Russian-speaking Ukrainian soldiers would surrender immediately (like in 2014) or even switch sides and that Zelensky would run away like the Afghan president. Kyiv in 3 days was based on these assumptions. They also didn't expect the West to support Ukraine this strongly. Russia basically underestimated Ukraine.

[@andreksjour]

The 3 days narrative never came out of Rus. I argue it's the west that underestimated Ukr, but mostly, they over estimated how much force Rus would use. With all the options they have, it seems Rus went with the most economical. Enough forces to overpower defenses, with no time restrictions. And Zelensky did get out. After Rus retreaded from the north he returned, at the time that everyone from EU was visiting him, he pretty much came back with them. I have no evidence. But its logical.

[@oleglozinskiy5216]

Hi, I am from russia. The opinion that our command assumed a loss of morale is quite popular with us. That's why we decided to retreat from Kiev. Because the original plan didn't work. And there was no mobilization at all. We have a contract army and a draft army. All men are conscripted. But they go to the contract voluntarily. And just those who serve under contract, they carry out the work of the conscription army. Which of course does not participate in any conflicts. This means that not even all contractors are involved in the war in Ukraine. I hope I'm writing clearly. Ask if something is interesting

[@p00bix]

Konotop was indeed occupied, but only weakly. Its mayor refused to surrender, and there were significant anti-Russian protests. Because a violent resistance would jeopardize their already fragile (and ultimately failed) attempt to attack Kyiv, the Russian troops negotiated a deal with the city government under which the government could continue operating, but Ukrainian forces had to retreat from the city. In return for this high level of autonomy, the residents would agree not to attack Russian forces, and Russian troops would still be allowed to use the city's main highway for transportation-with the implicit threat that the city would lose all its autonomy if they did. When Russia started to retreat forces from Northern Ukraine, the people did indeed rise up, and Russia abandoned the already limited control it had.
