[Kings and Generals]

they/them army > was/were army. You can support the humanitarian effort to help Ukrainians here: donation.babynyar.org/en/

[Jeff M]

It was with this that I realized that I'm actually the smartest youtube commenter you have

[Double O' Duck]

@Jeff M no

[Natedawg1998]

I love this humor so much

[Lil Stink]

Cringe

[George Wong]

This is quite a niche meme that I didn't expect to see here.

[Elijah Mukuyu]

This guy can narrate a video about the future and still make it sound historical

[Empress]

True that.

[007Hutchings]

Pooh that.

[Carlos Serrano]

🤣🤣

[Grim Lore]

You mean, the present? Aha.

[Pinhead342]

He does, he has a youtube channel called OfficiallyDevin where he does narrative gameplay

[Discopanzer]

It feels so surreal... I have been watching historical videos on this channel for years. But now I'm watching a documentary about the full-scale war that is happening in my country, right outside the window of the house.

[Ryan Segerberg]

I want to help. I'm originally from Sweden, and now I live in the US. Sweden is joining Nato after 250 years of neutrality. I am a media communications specialist; perhaps we can collaborate on a social media campaign to recruit volunteers from the US and other NATO allies.

[Nazar Demchenko]

@Ryan Segerberg that could be really nice, but for now we are in need for warm military clothes, and sleeping bags for already existing soldiers, not a new recruits)

[Calum]

@Nazar Demchenko Is there a particular place you'd recommend for donations?

[cyberDevil]

I hope you're doing good man! Don't give up please!

[cyberDevil]

You got my respect!

[Andrew Reagh]

"The fight is here. I need ammunition, not a ride." I will never forget those words

[Dmitry Yakimenko]

Thanks to these words, we stand. If our president fled, then most likely the management of the army would collapse. I'm from Poltava, I assumed it. Everyone in the city assumed that we never had a politician stand up for ordinary people, and then the president himself says I WILL FIGHT!!! I was impressed. But at the same time, in the early days, everyone in the city was in the mood to fight, all the inhabitants of the city helped build block posts / fortifications because they thought that they would come soon. Thanks to the efforts of our army, they could not reach my city. BUT he dug in and dug in so it seems to be the front line of the First World War. And there are hundreds of such lines in the depths of the territory of Ukraine, far from the front. I am a Freight Forwarder by profession and often travel across the territory of Poltava and neighboring regions and everywhere I see trenches and defense lines with barbed wire and pillboxes along the roads. As in the years of the First or Second World War. If the Russians want to take us, then they ran into the wrong people. And the first person whose merit in this is our president. Yes, we have many questions about his activities as the leader of the country, but in a difficult hour for us, he did not run away (as those who were before him did), but began to fight with us, for which we respect him. We have not yet had such a leader whose name would proudly stand next to Petro Sahaydachny, Ivan Bohun, Bogdan Khmelnitsky, Symon Petlyura, Petro Bolbochan (general of the UPR captured Crimea in 1918) ..... And now two more names Vladimir Zelensky and Valery Zaluzhny will appear in this historical list.

[Dmitry Yakimenko]

Many of us thought that the defense would collapse in a few days. (remembering 2014 and the then state of the army). But what I saw on February 25-26 in my city I have not seen in my entire life. The whole city (Poltava 250-300,000 people) seemed to rush to the defense. Half on the first day, sweeping everything off the supermarket shelves, ran away from the city. And the other hastily rushed to his defense, All who could carry sandbags to the checkpoints / fortifications, others prepared Molotov cocktails (a bottle of fire mixture). The morale of the inhabitants was such that "we will fight, but we will not give up." And for the first time I felt like among strangers, I never thought that my people were capable of such a thing. The Ukrainian people have been exposed for centuries!! And in my Poltava there are many Russian speakers and even Russians themselves. BUT there are also many migrants from the Donbas region who were the most evil. One of them, whom I met exactly on February 24, when sandbags were being loaded, answered me briefly. "I saw these motherfuckers (Russians) in 2014, it was enough up to my throat. Here in the new house (Poltava) I don't want to see them. So that they die creatures." This is all you need to know about Russians from the Russians themselves, if you can call the inhabitants of eastern Ukraine that way. Which the Russians came to "defend".

[GrimYak]

@Dmitry Yakimenko thank you for your comment. Everyone in your country has a role to play, Zelensky's role was to increase morale and lead people to fight and gather support from international leaders. He accomplished this role very well and is probably the reason why Ukraine is still standing as country. Not just defending but also winning in the battlefield. Goodluck to you and your country. SLAVA UKRAINE!

[Dmitry Yakimenko]

@GrimYak Thank you, I don’t know where you are from, but without the help of the whole world we cannot survive. Our soldiers are brave and there are many of us but few weapons (tanks and armored vehicles) Thanks for the help and support and Heroes Slava (so they say in response to SLAVA UKRAINE "SLAVA UKRAINE - HEROES SLAVA")

[Diego Díaz]

My grandpa who was a kid during WW2 showed up and told me this format reminded him of his father listening to WW2 updates on the radio, and I'm lovin' it.

[MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

My parents told me how their parents did the same during WW2 and I feel like we need to continue that and pay attention to this conflict.

[Ethan Engelking]

To any Ukrainians who are watching this video, I wish you luck to take back Crimea and any other occupied territories of Ukraine. Although, I am not Russian nor Ukrainian, I still understand and hope that you will win this war. Keep fighting and as Wison Churchill once said “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing zones, we shall fight them in fields and streets, we shall fight them in the hills; we shall never give up”

[Striding Wombat]

@uafc1 Wrong. Ethnicity means nothing. Crimea is Ukrainian land, and Crimeans are Ukrainian. Ukraine will reclaim Crimea.

[Novince Inhosic]

@Striding Wombat What if Crimean refuse?

[CannibalisticSqvirrel4ever]

​@stridingwombat9780 I really hope they do.

[Seth Mawdesley]

We shall never surrender.... You messed that bit up dude.

[sam8404]

If we have documentaries this good, practically in real time, I can't imagine what kind of stuff we'll have after the war is over and more information starts getting out and people get to tell all their stories.

[Steven Rodriguez]

It’s both strange and fascinating to see King & Generals present a still ongoing conflict. I’m used to watching battles/wars 50-1500 years old. Very interesting.

[Michael Davis]

It makes me feel like all that learning of old wars truly makes me understand the general strategies of war. Not saying it makes us strategists of course, just saying we can understand the various maneuvers and tactics on the battlefield.

[Tony Duncan]

Unique, in fact.

[Abyss Strider]

Alexios I Komnenos Well no but coordiations and many strategies stay relatively the same.

[nick brothers]

it is kinda crazy

[Μικρασιάτης]

If the "sponsor" says to do it, why not?

[Jackie Chan]

I’ve watched so many different versions of this wars documentaries and I am honestly amazed at the great work this page has put into it. Honestly truly a masterpiece. Thank you so much for informing the uninformed in such a spectacular way

[Jackie Chan]

@Ev Iv most of the things mentioned by him are easily found on the internet to fact check for your self, I did thus why I complimented this page If you have anything that maybe I’ve missed, I’d be happy to hear you out. But please, be specific and also give me a link supporting your facts as to why he is wrong Thanks!

[Jou t7]

@Jackie Chan He’s maybe Russian troll and does not like how this video show that Russians have not been so succesful in their attack to Ukarine.

[Jackie Chan]

@SSLaziale tell me you’re a Russian troll, with out telling me you’re a Russian troll lol 😆

[Jackie Chan]

@SSLaziale sure, Feb 24 boarders returned to Ukrainians, and costs of rebuilding civilianan infrastructure. Cede the separists part from 2014 as well as agree to a independent investigation of war crimes in Bucha. In return Ukraine pays for the travel expenses for any Russian speaking Ukrainian that wishes to be a part of Russia or not live in Ukraine anymore as well as any land or flats they owned would be paid to them at Fair market price post war. Just some ideas

[Daniel Villiers]

I find it just a little bit too soft on the Russian side. If you listen to him, you think Russia more or less chose to retreat by themselves from the northern front. While in reality it was a cruising defeat with thousands of deaths, enormous amount of loss of equipment and logistical nightmare. He just brushed on these, while the Ukrainian inflicted immense loss to the Russian due to their courage, tactics and help with arms shipment from abroad.

[제임스]

There’s a reason why this channel is so enjoyable. He makes ongoing conflicts sound so historical…

[Patrick Mendoza]

Doesn't need to sound historical because it is historical. Pretty simple. But I get what you mean, it's the way he presents it and his voice.

[제임스]

@Patrick Mendoza that’s what I mean lol

[Paul The not so Great]

Well... it is history in the making right now. Kids 30-50 years from now are gonna read references of this in their textbooks and are gonna see documentaries of this. Just like 9/11 was merely 2 decades ago but we see a lot of documentaries about it and how it affected the world

[Vitalii Symon]

Tiny correction, just for the record. Okhtyrka was never encircled, mostly because of Vorskla river location, as a result, the highway to Poltava was always free to drive. I was visiting Okhtyrka on the March 6th

[Yung Cris]

This is crazy, I’ve been waiting for an in-depth breakdown on the war. I want to know the battles and staging grounds. The cities and the routes that Russia has taken

[Ivan Pilman]

Thanks for this really good video with mapping visualisation Unfortunately for me as a ukrainian civilian, we know that armed territorial defence suffered big amount of losses due to lack of trainings and practice

[Роман Гнечко]

Glory to all the fallen soldiers of Territorial Defence in Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Okhtyrka etc !

[Rin]

I'm so used to historical documentaries on this channel that watching a documentary about a war that is still ongoing feels surreal. This is history in the making.

[Elektrotehnik]

By & large, the video is accurate in all high-level stuff that matter long-term. Except army sizes are very wrong, of especially Russia -> waaaaaay smaller professional, attack-capable army; I’d say 300k-350k max, 200-250k deployed to Ukraine up until this day + 20-30k “Donbas” separatist army. Expect likely somewhat more tanks in the attack with Russia than the stated number, but likely way less planes operable & somewhat fewer helicopters as well. Expect ~50k troops already killed/ wounded/ captured & 30k deserted. Also somewhat misrepresented army of Ukraine (I’d say around 200k additional semi-trained mobilized reserve units actively fighting atm + substantially more being mobilized, equipped & trained, which is not true for Russia atm. Additionally, 1/4 to 1/3 fewer Ukrainian in-service tanks than stated here, by the start of the 2022 war; but now tank numbers are bolstered by NATO deliveries & captured Russian tanks. There is plenty missed in the video that is solidly provable by no-doubt video/photo evidence & a lot that is provable with context & “soft evidence” (testimonies, high-level Russian spy-informants), but for a 30-40 min condensed video, the highly important stuff is 95% covered. My sources are all OSINT & vague, so I hope people worry not

[Absolute]

@Geroge Michaels You should take your meds, m8.

[Hexcss]

@Absolute Technically speaking, he's right, since Germany losing World War 2 led to the events that may or may not eventually lead to World War 3. This is like the case of people saying that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki led to the creation of Anime. Technically correct, the end of World War 2 in Japan also ended the heavily militarised culture that eventually led to anime creation.

[Ramdally Timothee]

I feel the same the accuracy that kings and generals have is really astonishing

[God Chanelq]

@Valeri Vasilev Russia run from the north, because they couldn't supply their army in that region, Russia didn't control city's of Chernyhiv, Sumy, Ohtyrka, Nizin, Priluki, Mena e.t.c and it's important supply hubs. Russia suffer heavy losses and retreat

[SPJ LXXI]

This is the only guy that can make you look at a country's map for over half an hour and still enjoy it.

[deamonomic]

Can't wait to see the ukrainian counter offensive video from you guys! We all know it's coming!

[Tikari Miekka]

First is coming the video of August... It should be called "tha calm before the Storm" or something on that line...

[Kevin Aldo]

Yup

[jimmyc974]

HOWS THAT GREAT COUNTER OFFENSIVE GOING KIDS . 4 VILLAGES TAKEN ONLY 4 REGIONS TO GO EH!

[Elitemation]

I really like how much effort you guys give into editing, narration and research. Maybe you guys can post a tutorial or a Behind The Scenes in an alternative YT channel?

[Bill Blinky]

Great job in presenting this. Thank you. I imagine the defence of Ukraine will be studied at military colleges all over the world.

[Tolu Olaitan]

16:52 imagine if Ukraine had major air assets such as attack aircrafts. I would've loved to see a highway of death consisting of Russian armor. Would've been a sight to see for the whole world

[Jake Howard]

war is a strange thing. as someone privileged in a country without war, this almost comes at me like a new episode of a great epic story where the writers are trying new, modern things, I love watching it.but it's actually happening right now and people are suffering

[Lord Loss]

@chocomanyes we should all not think about it until the war is over and then pretend to be outraged by the outcome. This is happening, you need to look at it and take a side. No closing your eyes pretending it ain't there

[MrThhg]

@chocoman no.. you find out your enemies weaknesses, strengths, and habits, etc as early as possible...

[mpalfadel2008]

@chocoman when genocide is occurring daily, your either fighting it, or by absence of action taken against it, you support it There’s no middle ground during a genocide

[Jonny- B]

True. Thing is, people are suffering everyday just about everywhere. Someone probably just died in your city from a tragedy. We don't really pay much mind to those things though. There's been wars and borderline genocide going on in Africa and heck, even China for years, no one really cares about that. It's just funny (well, not funny but) to me how skewed our perspective is as westerners. No one cares about the price we pay to mine cobalt and diamonds in Africa or the price South America pays to satiate our drug addiction as a country. Just saying, something to keep in mind when focusing on it all.

[UnNuclear]

It's so surreal. Because of social media and having such unprecedented access to information than in the past, wars can seen in real-time. There hasn't really been a war like this in history.

[Simak Santana]

man I remember how intense the first week was. Like I remember almost everything that happened that you stated. Wasn’t there a failed beach landing near Odessa? also the planes dumped the vdv too early and they all went into the ocean and died. Glory to Ukraine

[Otaman Vasyl]

There were no beach landing attempts. Everyone in post-Soviet space know that Odesa can be taken only by complete surrounding.

[Freikorps Dämonisch]

But I can prove your words in some way. 24.02.22, in the morning, maybe 6-7 o'clock (Kyiv time), I read in telegram that "russian forces landed in Odesa", I swear. Alongside with these words were "russian tanks go from Crimea to Kherson", and about airborne assault (landing) in Kyiv. And it was in Ukrainian public devoted to military forces. Then information was deleted. I think it was misinformation by russian services, they wanted panic in Ukraine.

[vadymvv]

@Otaman Vasyl there was landing near Koblevo 25.02.2022, which is Odessa region. Russians failed but attempt was by sea and air at the same time. It wasn't large but it was.

[nhawks]

great analysis for all the military aspects of the first part of this conflict. Extremly clear and detailled. A must have ! Thanks

[nhawks]

how many time did you spend to perform this kind of video ? cheers Christophe

[Federal1829]

Gracias por hacer un documental acerca de este conflicto aún en curso. ¡Fuerza pueblo de Ucrania!

[tiortedrootsky 1]

*Suggestion* Consider when moving the map up close, drawing a minimap of the whole country in a corner with borders of currently zoomed in portion of the map. So it would be easier to keep track of where it is.

[Jack Anderson]

real-time strategy 101 -)

[Lucas Cunha Rocha]

I was about to suggest this as well, it get less confusing when the camera gets shifted around

[Dragon Of the East]

That would such a rich addition!

[Jason Last]

Brilliant idea

[NLTops]

Or just have an attention span of longer than 30 seconds? :P

[Edward Langton]

Outstanding Review as always …. Slava Ukraine. Glory to the heroes.

[markagelos1]

It is quite terrifying that we see war in progress videos among historic battles. We have no clue if the end is near but thanks for all the great work.

[Ricardo Smythe]

The war is ingoing but the initial stage of it has been and gone and was a spectacular failure for Russia

[J]

Was the first time I’ve seen pending battles on Wikipedia pages on a large scale war

[Julius Green]

Yes, when looking at historic wars the outcomes sometimes seem logical, but that is only in hindsight. When things are actually going on, it's much more opaque. Who knows what's going to happen

[Nathan Strik]

You guys honestly thought war was over?

[احمد -ahmed]

I imagined them making this lol

[Hordaric]

Thanks for a great video! Glory to Ukraine!

[Youtube Account]

Slavs Ukraina. Literally tears in my eyes at Ukraines valiant defense of my wife’s country. So proud of them.

[Victor Code]

Isn't it sad that a small KZbin team has provided us with more info than all the mainstream media combined. Kudos to you K&G.

[Freefall]

What a fantastic turnaround and butt kicking! Glory to the Ukraine 🇺🇦

[Peter Gazer]

This is awesome. I remember the history channel used to do things like this before it became all pseudo science and aliens. Love that I’ve found documentaries like this

[Uric Dawson]

Although the US pulled air support in Afghanistan, I would think that the fact that their president bolting from the country also played a part in the collapse of the afghan military. I would think that zelensky choosing to stay early on played a part in maintaining some level of confidence in the Ukrainian military.

[JORDII]

100% it gave his men the morale to fight on. If your leader remains, it shows he has faith that you will succeed.

[blackhawk1611]

morale or lack thereof is the single biggest reason the afghan army folded. the officers were corrupt as hell. the soldier left to fend for themselves didn't help with the morale. all of this is business as usual when it was just an insurgency to bleed the government. but when it became a proper invasion to capture ground, the lack morale came into play.

[Dan Bergman]

That and that the Ukrainians are generally better educated/trained and most of them identify more with being Europeans. They embraced the support that they have received since 2014.. The Afgan's didn't want our help..

[Ahmed Shaharyar Ejaz]

The US pulling air support is what destroyed Afghan morale as they lost a distinct and unassailable advantage in offense, surveillance and logistics over the Taliban. Suddenly Outposts that were guaranteed supply by Air platforms were reliant on questionable ground infrastructure through Taliban held territory.

[Teachmehowtodoge]

Dang this is high quality content. It feels like watching a war history video but this war is still ongoing. Long live Ukrainian heroes! Your heroism will be remembered by us in the next thousands of years.

[Alex Kalashnik]

Glory to Ukraine’s heroes! They have shown how to defend your land.

[Steve Melnick]

Concise work. Well done as always. This war will continue to be one of many lessons, I'm thinking the staffs of the world's armies have their tasks well laid out.

[Sergey Gudz]

my parents and brother survived the occupation in Bucha. Father said that only on our street near the house there were about 30 dead bodies. Alot of houses were robbed.

[Concordius UA]

Радий чути, що вони живі. Можу лише здогадлуватись як це. Тримайтеся. Слава Україні!

[Sergey Gudz]

@Concordius UA Дякую, героям слава!

[Vòila]

Probably your dad was drunk

[chr0nicstupidity]

@Vòila ??????????

[Futo]

Did not expect that at all... This was an utterly brilliant presentation, a great map, detailed visual and audible information and narration! Awesome work! Thank you very much 🙏

[A Laughing Wolf]

_“Sure it matters who has the biggest stick, but it matters a helluva lot more who’s swinging it.”_ -General Shepherd, Modern Warfare 2. This quote just sums up the Russo-Ukrainian War perfectly.

[Shawn Finlay]

Finally, a video longer than two minutes in duration explaining, in an easy to understand and follow narrative, what has been happening over there. I thank everyone there at Kings and Generals for making this available. The most informative I've seen yet. 👍 👍

[Per Madsen]

@Pinochet Revivalist We'll find out how things really fares for the Russians in 5 days.

[ImmortalGaze]

If you think this is good, check out Perun on KZbin.

[Joren van der Ark]

@Per Madsen Moving the goalpost again? First it was "we will see after two weeks" the it was "the americans took 43 days to invade Iraq give the Russians at least that time" now it is "we will find out at the victory parade on the 9th of may" to when exactly are you going to move it when the Russians fail again?

[Artem Komisarenko]

Cool video. What is lacking is yet another direction of the Russian attack that didn't happen: the encirclement of Odesa. They tried to reach Odesa from three axes simultaneously: through Mykolaiv, Transnistria, and a marine attack. These plans collapsed because Russians were repelled from Voznesensk, and Ukraine sank their flagship Moskva which had air defense for the entire Russian Black Sea fleet.

[Oblivion]

As much as the war in Ukraine is horrible, it is still kinda amazing that we're all here to experience these events ourselves or more like lived at the same time.

[theodoros meliadis]

True..

[JeyJ]

ALL war is horrible, objectively speaking this war isn't anything special

[J R]

Thank you for making this. I subscribed to this channel for the historical battles, but it is great to see you do this modern war.

[Humble Driver]

A Tribute to Ukraine The Fight Where were you when the walls came crumbling down. Fearing for our lives In our home towns. Where children once played Laughter was everywhere We now find graves Seems like only...we care. But now, We're standing side by side Defending arm in arm Praying for our lives. And now, We're standing toe to toe Fighting hand to hand Dying for our nation's soul. Instrumental 🎶 If we lose. If this was our last fight. I promise you We didn't run and hide. Only one way to live Head high and full of pride What we would give Our blood and tears we cried. But now, We're standing side by side Defending arm in arm Praying for our lives. And now, We're standing toe to toe Fighting hand to hand Dying for our nation's soul. Instrumental 🎶 A burst of lightning coming from the morning sky confuses all We will not run and hide. But now, We're standing side by side Defending arm in arm Praying for our lives. And now, We're standing toe to toe Fighting hand to hand Dying for our nation's..... And then, There's one thing that remains. Fight until the death Fight for our Ukraine. But now, Our prayers were not met By those who stood by By those who would forget. . By Humble Driver

[Chris Sartorio]

Love this! Thank you for your summary, I so look forward to seeing more of them

[Т1000 Youtube]

They have a HUGE opportunity to make this an "as things happened" thing. This way, walking through the information and theories that came up in chronological order along with some careful neutral word use will make it timeless just like any other documentary on this channel. Edit: since this got seen, some clarification. What I meant by this comment, is that it would be possible to make it an "as things happened" documentary series. This way, a summary of recent events would still be timeless, rather then more like an update video. I honestly don't remember why did I phrase it the way I did. Some got confused because of it, and I'm sorry.

[thecactusman17]

The problem with this is that one side is giving accurate information which can be verified from independent OSINT sources (geolocated photos and videos of destroyed vehicles, occupied towns, active combat etc) while the other is reliant almost entirely on Russian state propaganda. In WW2 for example it took at least days and often weeks, months or years to verify or disprove individual incident reports. Many people to this day don't realize that the famous Okinawa flag photograph wasn't taken until the American forces had taken the hill for the 4th time, and then had to be staged multiple separate times for the cameraman once combat had finished. It took years for that to become public knowledge and it wasn't even a secret. Today that information would likely be known within 24 hours.

[Rune-Thorne]

@thecactusman17 as would all the lies and half-truths and conspiracy theories that could be thought up about it and spread.

[GrapeShot]

Kings and General have done an excellent job in staying neutral in all their videos

[PapaOscarNovember]

When Russian army started building up on the border, and then Putin expressed his anger at Ukrainian posturing and questioned Ukrainian legitimacy, I thought ‘this is what Hearts of Iron style war goal justification looks like in real life.’

[Назар Єрмоленко]

I"d like to say: Thank you, for support of Ukraine, you are a part of our future victory, we won't forget yours help :)

[T van B]

Hey Kings&Generals! We want more! More! please give me more! You'r channel was, and still is, one of the better ones in commenting on strategic and tactical situations..of the past and the current days. Thank you. SLAVA UKRAINI

[Kings and Generals]

Working on it, I promise

[Sleepless Academic]

To think that wars still occur in this century is truly depressing, i hope future generations will learn from this

[Sorin B]

To think that Russia is still allowed to wege war, to invade territories , to threaten everybody with nuclear bombs and also be an un-removable part of UNO and Security Council is unthinkable . To give Russia circumstances , to advocate their " right" to establish buffer zones by deciding other's nations/countries destiny , is criminal .

[3dkiller]

Man your work is impressive, the way you show things on the map including sound and music just amazing.

[Andy]

33:00 When it comes to tallying ship losses its better to do it in Naval Tons rather than individual craft. Afterall, its not really fair to count Ukrainian coastguard boats against Russian missile cruiers and assualt transports which outweigh the enemy losses 10 times or more.

[Andy]

@tomonetruth Yes, you could blow up 100 fishing boats and it wouldn't really matter if someone else blew up your super carriers, even though the 'score' would be 100:1, is this making any sense to you???

[Stank Gangsta]

Good point.

[Annie Stiles]

@tomonetruth wot

[Andy]

@Annie Stiles I think he's trying to troll? Seems like the first reponse was the bait while the second one is the hook. I syppose he was hoping I'd get dragged into a mud slinging contest. I can't say I see the appeal in that sort of entertainment, but to each their own I suppose.

[Annie Stiles]

@Andy right.... He/she is trollin

[Frostydelusions]

Belarusian Rail Workers sabotaged rails and significantly disrupted Russian supply lines north Kyiv, this is one of the reasons the Russians had to rely on big convoys.

[Dmytro Golovchenko]

Please note that Azov is not a batalion but a regiment of National Guard of Ukraine

[AGO]

23:50 I was at the training ground at that time, 10 minutes before 6 in the morning there were explosions, me and my unit miraculously survived because the rocket hit a row of trees and detonated before it reached us, some were less lucky, the Russians mistakenly fired at warehouses with clothes, although ammunition was stored there during the USSR, their information was outdated

[Louis Tran]

Thanks for the great work! I would recommend animations of troops and military equipments on 3D form similar to Pacific war series, could be a little more engaging than blue and red boxes

[Gerald Luo]

The feeling of watching a war documentary of a war that is still raing on right now on a history channel is unreal.

[Salam Yaya]

Since you cover Israel-Egypt and Syria wars, it would be interesting to cover other Middle East wars such the Iran-Iraq war, an 8 years-long war from 1980 to 1988.

[Moi Suomi]

He never covered the Finnish civil war in depth which I think would be interesting

[Salam Yaya]

@Moi Suomi I agree.

[Moi Suomi]

“Ukraine Again 🤮” literally edit* (Sorry I misunderstood) your ignorant words.

[Camilo florez]

Also the lebanon war including air combat between syria and israel.

[Salam Yaya]

@Moi Suomi Lol, and why are you mad? I said this because the coverage of war in Ukraine became so annoying, I don't support Russia

[minh anh do]

One thing about the landing on Hostomel airport, the Russian spearhead was actually only 24km outside Hostomel with the Russian 40th marine brigade and the landing consist of additional 45th VDV brigade, while the Ukraine counterattack manage to reach the antonov airfeild and contest the control with the Russian, they never manage to fully push the Russian out until they themself got trapped inside the airport

[SuperJenya]

Almost the entire landing was destroyed by a small group of the national guard of Ukraine. Many helicopters were shot down in flight and upon landing, after which they began to fly away without even having time to land the entire landing force. Hello from Kyiv)

[Viktor Trubaiev]

I've come across this channel accidentally. Interesting video. I disagree only with some minor details, as I'm from Sumy. First of all, there were no Ukrainian Military Forces in the vicinity of Sumy. They defended Konotop cause the main railway center in Sumy region. Sumy and its neck of the woods were defended by the territory defense only. Oleksii Arestovych claimed the same in one of his speeches. The counterattack was probably made with the help of Ukrainian Army units. Second, Sumy wasn't bombed too heavily comparing to other nothern cities and towns. Waiting for the second part. Peace

[F, Frost]

I'm not even going to watch this video as the idea that someone could be winning a war while simultaneously losing 20% of their country seems rather perplexing. But, as you are on the ground there in Ukraine, perhaps you can explain this.

[Bens]

@F, Frost Happens more frequently than you can imagine. During Winter War, Finland technically 'lost' the war on paper since they lost a portion of their territory to Russia but in practice they succesfully defended their nation, only having 70 thousand casualties compared to Russia which had 300,000+ and they prevented total annexation atleast. That looks like a win for Finland to me.

[Bens]

@QualityPen Resisting annexation is totally a win. The entire Finaland was supposed to be be forcefully integrated to the USSR but they mostly failed on that objective and only acquired a portion of Finland. Independent Chechnya also repelled alot of Russians during the Chechen wars and yet they still got annexed by the end becoming integrated into Russia. A small territory cannot be compared to an entire country.

[Roman Mavrodi]

Ben1. Manstein line, lol! You meant Mannerheim line? 2. Luhansk is occupied since 2014.

[Bens]

@CuzImMOODY Finland was invaded because Stalin believed the Finnish socialists would welcome him with open arms and would cooperate with him to 'liberate' the country and side with the puppet communist government (sounds very familiar to the current "special military operation" isn't it?). Funny thing is, even Finnish socialists united with anti-socialist groups and abandoned their ideological differences out of pure hatred against the invading USSR. Look up "The spirit of the Winter War"

[John B]

I hope we'll get a revised version when all of this is finally over!

[R. L.]

What a great summary of recent events. Keep up the good work!

[Philip Matsikoudis]

This announcer has such a great speaking voice. Powerful, clear and precise. Kings & Generals is lucky to have him. May I also note that I've been trying to follow this war in every manner and way. Nothing has come remotely close to the precise, concise, and informative store of information contained in this Kings & Generals presentation. The manner and style in the Kings & Generals presentation simply towers over any other outlet. When it comes to learning what is going on in the Russo-Ukraine War, Kings & Generals is where to find out. Impressive work is a vast understatement.

[Kings and Generals]

Agreed. And a great pro to work with.

[JFHeroux]

6:40 I think it's also essential to note one other very important Ukrainian weapon: It's military's transformation into a modern army, with a modern doctrine matching NATO's starting in 2014. We know that NATO has perfected their defensive tactics. We saw at the start of the war how much the Russians were caught off guard by the ability of the Ukrainians to anticipate their movements, and how prepared they were to mount an extremely good defensive operation on all fronts. We sent a lot of our specialists in Ukraine in the 8 years prior to the start of the invasion, and the Ukrainians took every advantage of that help. I would suggest that the Ukrainian military went from a poor-man's Red Army into an extremely up-to-date fighting force inside of only 8 years. They overtook the Russians and left them in the dust. It doesn't appear like Putin was either aware or wanted to accept that fact. And the Russians paid dearly for that mistake...

[JFHeroux]

otto Lincoln I don't think that's how you should interpret how things went so far. Ukraine lost WAY LESS manpower in the first phase of the war than anyone anticipated. Now, against a more coordinated and concentrated push, they are loosing what would be expected (1 man for every 3 Russians so far). But yes, we need to do more. We need to actually tell Putin we are assembling an international coalition force and on a set date we're going into Ukraine. He can either fall back into Russia or get his troops blown-out. That's what we need to do. This war could be over inside of a week if all went in. Between all of the allied countries, we have about a 20:1 advantage over Russia. We would gain air superiority in less than 24 hours. Then Russian troops would ne pounded into the ground from the air in a manner of days. I predict about a week before they are out of the country... or what's left of them.

[Ice Tea]

@JFHeroux 1 : 3 I hope it's joke. Why no 1 : 10?)

[JFHeroux]

@Ice Tea Well, the Ukrainians do not publish verifiable figures, so it's best to be cautious with that. But 3:1 is an extremely favorable ratio in any case. I'd say this will go up to 5:1 in the coming 4 weeks since the best weapons have yet to reach the frontlines. It's all about firepower and range at this point of the war.

[Paul Serdiuk]

@Ice Tea It varies. Modern doctrines say it's foolish to attack enemy defenses with a fewer than 1:3 advantage because losses will be that high, and enemy cities need a 1:5 to 1:10 advantage (see Kyiv). A lot of the Donbass region was heavily fortified over the 8 years of war and breaking through it will take closer to 1:5 casualties. On the other hand, in the open fields with both sides manoeuvring and counter-attacking like it is in the South it's 1:1. Also take into account the fact that Russian logistics and casualty care are subpar, so more of their wounded are dying. Ukrainian IFAKs are substantially better than Russian med kits. So across the conflict it's on average 1:3 for Ukraine.

[Alex Alex]

What a period where we can get this massive amount of information free (for user)! Really appreciate the effort. I got goosebumps when you mentioned Zelenskyy refuse US ride but ask for more supply, he's the real president people are voting for!

[Victor]

Thank you for the video! The first weeks were so difficult and so full of events, news, rumors that I could not expect to see it as such an orderly story. The only correction that I would suggest is the name of Azov unit that defended Mariupol. It is Azov Regiment of the National Guards of Ukraine. It was a battalion back in 2014. Now only kremlin media persist in calling it a "nationalistic battalion". Now russians put Mariupol prisoners from Azov regiment, Marines brigade and some other units through tortures, starvation and executions to revenge for their nearly 3-month resistance under siege.

[Mixolydian -]

🇺🇦🇺🇦💪💪Slava Ukraine💪💪🇺🇦🇺🇦 So glad my friend recommended me this epic channel

[Ezio Auditore]

Zalinski’s refusal to leave really was the turning point

[Влад Поплавський]

NO "Z" ONLY THELENSKIY (just a joke) but the right spelling is Zelenskiy not a Zalinskiy. Okay?)

[Darkseid solos your favourite verse]

​@Влад Поплавський what?

[Влад Поплавський]

@Darkseid solos your favourite verse it's one of ukrainian memes. As russians using "z" on their army, we have a huge amount of memes like "cancelling Z" and then was born meme with our president's surname. Not Z only Thelenskiy (because "the" has same pronunciation)

[Michał Rymer]

I live in northern Poland. I remember first days of war. For the first week I couldn't concentrate and waited for any news. It was mostly mix of true news and Ukrainian propaganda. In all places you could hear about help that was organized by regular people. No one questioned that Ukrainians fought not only for their own freedom but also for ours. News of fierce resistance in all fronts not only by army but also civilians and rumors about thousands Ukrainian man working in Poland who immediately dropped their jobs to join the fight was absolutely jaw dropping and mobilizing. For me it changed the view of nation, from immigrants who simply work here and try do do their thing and have problems as everyone to a an oustanding example of resilence. It reminded me the old spirit of Cossacks against we fought and fought alongside with in the past. On the other hand in the every moment we expected that something may happen around Kaliningrad or Belarus forces will join the Russian attack and we could be in the face of choice or being forced to join the war. But it didn't happen and help for Ukraine started to flow. At the same time masks of Germany and France has dropped - we realized that nations that never truly felt the oppression of Russia will try to stop the war by any means to make business, even after Bucha and other places. This was the moment when we realized that war in Ukraine is a clash not only of interests but of civilisations. Immense support from US, and UK and other countries from region gives hope that Russia will grind herself down. We have over 400 years of enemnity. It strange to live in time of such a turmoil in close proximity of events. I have no doubts that today's events in Ukraine will change many things, not only in Europe but also other places. It already did.

[Михаил Тирон]

Nice words my Polish friend, you know, my nation will be appreciate to your for a long time, definitely.

[AjitaDas399]

hopefully france and germany will start helping Ukraine too.

[michimatsch]

Did you watch the video? It was clearly stated in the video that Germany started sending military aid as well. Of course they had almost nothing since they only have a shadow of a military but the video clearly stated this historical reversal.

[Михаил Тирон]

@michimatsch they had almost nothing??? Germany??? Are u kidding?

[Yankee]

Wasn’t expecting such detailed and well made videos about this war for at least a few years. Impartial, objective and informative, great work as usual

[John Allen is my name and music is my game]

The person that truly deserves a hero's medal in Ukraine is a 70-year old, mild-mannered, white-haired lady. I do not remember her name but Ukrainians certainly will. Singlehandedly, she walked around with a cell phone in her pocket. She casually observed where the Russian soldiers were repeatedly. Then she was able to walk away when the Ukrainians used her info to pulverize the Russians. She didn't just do this once, she did this over and over again. I heard that she died recently. I hope she will live on in the hearts and minds of all Ukrainians, just like the three little 11-year old girls that rode their bicycles and were responsible for the deaths of many Germans in WWII. I wish I could remember where they were from. I think they were captured and killed but I'm not sure.

[Adi Primanda Ginting]

Correct. She is part of Babushka volunteer batalion (BVB)

[John Allen is my name and music is my game]

@One Hope They said it was Major Stephen Barabalka. There were many pix of downed Russian Migs. 40 kills is a plausible figure given the amt of jets the Russians have.

[AAUWhatItDo]

@One Hope proof?

[Joe D.]

Great presentation, best i've seen so far. Much, much better than a daily update on the ISW map

[Duke 69]

Outstanding visual presentation of the ongoing war. Please continue to create updated presentations.

[That One Andrew]

I kinda love coming back to this video, because it shows that Russia's first days were it's best days. Ukraine has slowly and methodically gained back it's territory. Here's hoping they win and Russia is repelled forever.

[Interl7]

can u add the ukrainian subtitles for the ukrainians like me? It's interesting to know the foregin opinion about our history and ongoing war

[Paulo Martins]

The fact that History can be documented at such a fast pace in such a well constructed video. Proves rather simply that current educational models are beyond outdated. A Magnanimous exposition of historical events.

[Pedro Ivan Tavera Ferreira]

What is the word for the studies of the science of teaching? Pedagogy, like the pedagogus in Ancient Rome. Our current model of teaching is a industrialization of a two thousand years old model. To make it worse the hegemonic model for the future is Piaget, an old model of 1930s that thinks kids mature like fruits, you just gotta wait them get less green so they can learn more. The best duo to combat this dumbness of an otherwise relatively better model is Vigotsky ... But Russian concepts will get ostracized by Western Cultures for a few decades now

[Mr Nogot]

Not quite. A lot of documents become declassified as time goes on and private information becomes available when people die. But I see your point.

[Pedro Ivan Tavera Ferreira]

@Carta good to know at least somewhere in the world a little bit of progress has been made. I'm Brazilian, here it is still same old traditional method of one teacher speaking and thirty kids ignoring. Few attempts on change are made and all considering just Piaget

[malter beton]

@Pedro Ivan Tavera Ferreira I remember when the teacher asked me to improvise a speach in "rhetorics" class, in Serbia, and i spoke about exactly this problem. Then, while i was speaking, i realised that in that moment, i was the same as any teacher, talking to 30 kids who dont give a shit about the school system, or just didnt know how to be a part of the change. Not only that, but also that i was speaking to some old people who just want to get paid and go home because they are tired of us teenagers. I guess the change must come from the top, or not at all. Finland is a great example.

[MissesWitch]

Wow King & Generals presented a historic battle with such clear portraits of the leaders! Amazing!

[bob smith]

Great video, as always, one thing I would say though, is that while it is true that they have a total military size of 900,000 only a fraction of that is combat troops, most of them are dealing with logistics, administration, and other activities associated with the military tail. Russia deployed the vast majority of their combat troops to ukraine, and saying they only deployed 200,000 out of 900,000 is a bit misleading.

[Richard Alexander]

Best explanation of the war I've seen by far. Thank you. Liked and subscribed.

[Саша Линкольн]

The 56th brigade did not participate in the defense of Sumy, it is deployed in the South, the Sumy region was defended by the TRO forces and the 93rd brigade

[Legacy]

This is the first time I see a Kings and Generals video highlight a current ongoing war and it feels surreal since this channel usually depicts warfare of the antiquities.

[YALQUZAQ_AZ]

Slava Ukraine 🇦🇿❤🇺🇦

[RegularPaul]

I've been playing Conflict of Nations, and watching Kings and Generals videos puts a lot of things into perspective.

[Murray Cramp]

Very good stuff. I felt like I had travelled to the future, and was watching a documentary that will be made in the years to come.

[Eugene]

Only in my hometown Sumy (The Easter offensive, right above Kharkiv), during 3 days, at the beggining of war, 7000 people volunteered and took guns to withstand russian nazis, plus 600 of the territorial defense battalion,... only in ONE 270k city. When I took my riffle I tought that we could win only couple weeks, but seeing everyday how much people are by my side and how others helps us with clothing, molotov cocktails and some millitary equipment, even hunting guns...your motivation driven up to clouds. We were surronded but fought and never gave up, making impudent sorties in nights mining outskirts and striking russian soldiers. City left intact, except bombings of couse. There are many stories like mine all over Ukraine, my friends in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, took guns without hesitation and did their best. We needed 700k army, but before mobilization there were already half a million volunteers. This says it all.

[Владислав Зильниченко]

@daya серьезно? Я бы улыбнулся с такой уверенности в начале войны, но сейчас, потеряв всю профессиональную армию и современную технику, уверенно так рассказывать свои бредни? Что касается ядерного оружия, оно есть не только у вас. Вы ещё не видели войны в России, поэтому так любите бахвалиться, но если примените, то она придет и в ваш дом. Нам ваши угрозы не страшны. Мы каждый день под смертью ходим. И если честно, не вижу особой разницы между смертью от ядерной бомбы и смертью от артиллерийского снаряда. Так что, могу предложить не бахвалиться впустую, а идти и приближать свою победу, если есть чем, раз уж ты такой агрессивный патриот. Мы уже насмотрелись на таких хвастунов. "Киев за три дня" такие как ты писали, может лично ты и писал. Да что-то не складываются ваши розовые мечты. Разве что в ваших имперских варварских снах. А может дело в другом? Ты так боишься, что после поражения тебя будут судить, что уже сейчас пытаешься притвориться психом и пишешь всякую пургу ради этого?

[Paincast]

@daya Кстати, тебе какой танк больше нравится, Леопард или Челленджер? У нас скоро будут и те и те, чтоб давить бравых русских воинов, которые защищают отече… ой, они же в чужой стране воюют, точно, прости

[Jerry Smith]

America is learning so much from drones in Ukraine, asymmetrical warfare strategy is developing into new warfare territory. So many US strategist studying this new dimension in warfare. Russia will be set back 20 years. Thank you Russia!

[Jerry Smith]

See ISW

[ASW 17]

I have been watching your videos for the last 3-to 4 years now... You study thoroughly & post facts. This is also one of your best videos 🙏

[schumzy]

This war has so many firsts, most recorded war in history and for many reasons the most important war since WW2. I think we all know the importance this war has on war science, geo politics, social impact and everything. It's so strange that we are living through such a momentus time, and what's really strange is for the first time ever (another first) we are aware of the magnitude of the time and events. Who know maybe in 50 years time, when all goes "right" everyone will look back at this time and be "like, wow, crazy times"

[sorsocksfake]

I'm not sure where we get this idea - aside from being told it over and over. At least originally it was simply another war over Russia's disintegrating sphere of influence, as Putin tries to salvage what he can. In that, it wouldn't even begin to compare to Korea or Vietnam; and in most ways it's still a far stretch away from the brutalities in Yugoslavia. Its major features aren't unique either. Geo-politically its significance bears some comparison to Afghanistan; operationally it's strikingly similar to the Winter War. By that comparison, it may also have huge consequences. Even bigger than then... we all know how it could end up, if once again Russia's western enemies decide it's time to slay the bear for good. Hubris has long been the harbinger of disaster.

[TJ2003]

Uhhh the most important war I don’t think so, there’s been a lot of wars ongoing throughout the age of technology. The reason why you don’t see what’s going on in other parts of the world is because the media isn’t covering it, but in Europe yes this is the biggest war since World War 2, but this isn’t the most “important war” that happened since World War 2 worldwide.

[Zann Rebel]

@Duarte Pereira yes

[Maurits Bol]

For the second month, you could make Transnistria red territory as it is definitely a player in the battle of Moldova and the battle of Odessa (both battles have not been initiated because of Russia's inability to progress to central Ukraine and through Mykolaiv)

[Xeth Waxman]

This was incredibly well done.

[SerBounceALot]

This has aged really well 🙂

[petebowman22]

Well done. I’m Looking forward to part two. 👏🏻

[studio9]

Having small tactical groups is a really bad idea, you need large battalions to overwhelm the enemy with numbers, because of the modern anti tank weapons, these groups can be picked off pretty easily by groups of Ukrainian soldiers or even just groups of volunteers, they use a drone to find the Positions, and simpy drive there in a car or van, hit and run tactics.. tanks are fast becoming obsolete..

[Bangs Cutter]

Wow, I did not expect this detailed video to come out so early after just 2 months of war! You know you're witnessing history unfolding when a history channel covers a current war.

[hb]

And this is the way it will be seen in history, not the individual sacrifice of soldiers and small platoons that suffer the real fight. Who will remember the famous ukrainian pilot that died in the first week of war ?

[Elektrotehnik]

By & large, the video is accurate in all high-level stuff that matter long-term. Except army sizes are very wrong, of especially Russia -> waaaaaay smaller professional, attack-capable army; I’d say 300k-350k max, 200-250k deployed to Ukraine up until this day + 20-30k “Donbas” separatist army. Expect likely somewhat more tanks in the attack with Russia than the stated number, but likely way less planes operable & somewhat fewer helicopters as well. Expect ~50k troops already killed/ wounded/ captured & 30k deserted. Also somewhat misrepresented army of Ukraine (I’d say around 200k additional semi-trained mobilized reserve units actively fighting atm + substantially more being mobilized, equipped & trained, which is not true for Russia atm. Additionally, 1/4 to 1/3 fewer Ukrainian in-service tanks than stated here, by the start of the 2022 war; but now tank numbers are bolstered by NATO deliveries & captured Russian tanks. There is plenty missed in the video that is solidly provable by no-doubt video/photo evidence & a lot that is provable with context & “soft evidence” (testimonies, high-level Russian spy-informants), but for a 30-40 min condensed video, the highly important stuff is 95% covered. My sources are all OSINT & vague, so I hope people worry not

[Tommaso Pisapia]

@hb sadly no one, but it is the way of battles and wars

[Василь Сокіл]

Looks legit, as ukrainian with inside information, 24/7 local news and information from witnesses who fought - legit. I saw so many videos about war and battles on this channel and others, i was always so exited and cheering for one side (even knowing how it ends), this video bringing only pain.

[Shed Show]

How does it end ?

[LivingInTheCloud]

Fantastic summary of the war so far! I trust there will be a new one at june 1? Already looking forward to it!

[Conway Fitzgerald]

Kudos. This video is very well done, and this series is a great idea. I'm envisioning a 'Yorktown' kind of army capture being the 'end' of this. Perhaps if the UA can retake Kherson and then seal off the bridges over the Dnipro river, they could trap a large portion of the Russian army there. Capturing like 10-20k troops could be the difference. That would be very hard for the Russian media to deny. Those soldiers have families that would want to know the truth. If Putin gets whacked, maybe a new Russian regime will want to play nice and retreat from the rest of the country. That's my version of a successful ending to this horrible war.

[profefaro]

Congratulations. Perfect summary of the days of war. Clear and visual

[Rahil Patel]

thanks for this. i hope you get paid more than all crap attention-diverting news companies for this work!

[History Dose]

I think we all feel a pervading sense that the events of today will echo loudly through the pages of future history books. Seeing the conflict broken down by Kings and Generals just cemented that. Great work.

[Stephen]

And not a single one of us will be remembered.

[Cornelius Quincy Davenporticottingham]

@Stephen which I feel is fine. Idc if im on some future social studies history textbook anyway

[kapsi]

21:52 this map looks so scary. I avoided news for most of the war, but now there's hope to win the war (and by that I mean return to pre-2014 borders) I'm watching and reading what I can.

[林俊傑 Miller Lin]

very informative.thanks a lot. and Slava Ukraine.
