You have touched me. Truly, it doesn't matter how great a sinner you are. God is calling people to him who are looking for the truth!

Please disregard those hateful comments, some people are just too brainwashed and ignorant to know the facts, they are hopeless.

This guy is going to make a video (boring) sooner or later about how disappointed he is and how he is coming back. If he had been smarter, he wouldn't have made this decision in the first place.

@@johnkrieger185 I’m going to make a video first about how wrong you are, and how people who aren’t doing anything shouldn’t leave mean comments for people who are. You’re the one sitting there in your mom’s basement, and boredom is your #1 enemy, and you could be over here having an adventure. Get up off your chair and come over here and start living your life.

@@RussiaAmericanDream Excuse me, genius, but you shouldn't get on youtube spreading propaganda and lies, such as the 2020 election was rigged. Moreover, your stay in Russia amounts to nothing more than a vacation. You don't speak Russian; you probably have few to no Russian friends; you don't have a job there, so you haven't had to live on a Russian salary; you've never been to a Russian doctor nor stayed in a Russian hospital; you've never had to stand in lines like Russians, nor bought anything on the Black Market. Your experience of Russia is practically nil, but you consider that you have the right to come on here and spout nonsense. You don't know how ignorant you are. Oh, and by the way, I have done all of the above.

@@brinjoness3386 "The invasion of the Kursk region by Ukraine on August 6 was immediately assessed by experts as a move that would be disadvantageous for Kyiv in the long term. After all, the current conflict is a war of attrition. A significant expansion of the front line means an increased expenditure of resources, particularly human resources, with which Kyiv is struggling. Consequently, the Ukrainian army should be exhausted even faster, while the Russian army will be able to neutralize the Ukrainian breakthrough in the Kursk region by utilizing accumulated reserves without pulling troops from other fronts, thereby steadily increasing pressure and building on the successes of recent months. Let's see how this hypothesis is being tested in practice. I have already written that Ukraine is generously expending armored vehicles in its offensive. According to statistics from the Russian Ministry of Defense, in the ten days following the invasion, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost a total of 534 units of equipment across all fronts-19 more than in June and July combined. Kyiv had only seen similar levels of armored vehicle losses in June 2023, at the very beginning of its counteroffensive. Losses subsequently decreased, reaching a minimum in June and July, which clearly indicated a shortage of armored vehicles at the front from Volchansk to Kherson. At the same time, the statistics for other types of weapons and personnel losses did not change significantly. The Russian Ministry of Defense estimated Ukraine's human losses during these ten days at 20,370, i.e., 2,037 per day, whereas the average daily losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in July, according to the same data, were 1,938 per day (an increase of 5.1%). The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russia's average daily losses during these ten days were 2.6% higher than in July. This statistics shows that, contrary to the popular hypothesis, the intensity of combat operations within the framework of the Special Military Operation (SVO) has not increased significantly. The emergence of a new active section of the front was offset by a decline in military activity in others. In particular, the Ministry of Defense shows a decrease in Ukrainian losses both in the north of the Kharkiv region and in the sectors of the "East" and "Dnepr" military groups (i.e., from Vuhledar to the Kinburn Spit). The insignificance of the increase in Ukrainian losses suggests that the rate of depletion of Ukraine's human resources is not increasing significantly. At least not yet. Many people are skeptical about the official loss figures. I understand that trust in them is low. Nevertheless, I believe it makes sense to observe the trend in losses. One way or another, these figures are quite informative. But despite the situation with Ukrainian losses, the impact of the Ukrainian breakthrough in the Kursk region on the pace of the Russian offensive is quite noticeable. And, as the hypothesis suggests, it is negative for Kyiv. Channels that calculate the balance of territorial changes based on available data reported that from August 7 to 16, the Russian Armed Forces took control of 115.6 square kilometers of territory in Donbas, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions. This is more than during the entire month of June. Compared to July, the daily advance rate more than doubled-from 5.2 to 11.6 square kilometers. Moreover, in recent days, this pace has been increasing. Oleg Tsaryov / Олег Царёв, Aug 17, 2024, Telegram channel"
