Top events that shaped the war in Ukraine in 2023

You ain’t lying

[@tristantully1592]

I'm sure other folks can say the same, but its wild how the Russian troll comments on this channel only showed up when the Ukraine War started.

[@trifosu1386]

This shows that military tech has advanced to much to do any proper offense. And since the war also lasted for so long Russia had time to mobilize and make a proper front. I don't blame Ukraine for not being able to push anymore. Russia simply has many more men to spare and a way larger industry. Ukraine may get a lot of aid, but still it is the smaller power here. Even if Russia has made itself lose some of it's former might in the media it still packs a punch. And when they defend it is only natural the attacker takes more loses (well in most cases anyways). We are back to WW1 trenches and instead of arty we use drone now. Over 100 years of evolution to still do it the old way. Lord have mercy on the men on the front.

[@Jay-om8gr]

So now you’re coping and making excuses

[@Jay-om8gr]

This way has never changed. You’re just used to watching usa fight third world countries that can’t fight back

[@Nn-3]

It hasn't really changed much. It's more a case of both sides developing advanced SAMs and lacking planes that can defeat SAMs, similar to the Iraq-Iran War.

[@sillysad3198]

the paradox of this war is that the defender created a yuge surprise for the attacker, and this surprise factor was warking and developing for almost a year, meanwhile Briben was delaying offensive weapons, so that to give russians a chance ot overcome the surprize, and only allowed serious weapons to come after the surprize worn off.

[@kingdiesel68]

Some people here in the United States are willing to keep fighting the Russians right down to the last Ukraine! We know that a large portion of the money that has already been sent has been let's say miss appropriately and has been sent back to the United States under very suspicious circumstances! Linked to our government on both sides of the land! We are borrowing each and every dollar that we send and at some point we will have to pay interest on billions of dollars we can't afford! Is it really moral to put our children and grandchildren into debt?

[@BubbaBearsFriend]

NATO members have to remember one of the major reasons why they stockpiled those weapons to begin with: to use against the Russians if they ever attacked. So supplying them to Ukraine would be using them for exactly why they were purchased.

[@EatMyShortsAU]

Most NATO members don't even have large stock piles of weapons. Even the equipment they do have a lot of it is not in service. Most of the ex Soviet stuff has already been given to Ukraine and so has any excess equipment. Some of the stuff is even obsolete like leopard 1s and French AMX 10's in which is a weird vehicle not really good at anything. European NATO countries have been under funding their military for decades relying on big brother(US) and any equipment they do have less they will want to keep for themselves in case of Russian invasion. Having said that the US still has a lot of ABRAMS, Bradleys, HUMVEES etc it can provide Ukraine. EU and US can also supply Ukraine with financial support(if they are willing to) as well as artillery shells(especially as manufacturing ramps up).

[@EatMyShortsAU]

[@MrWasGehtSieDasAn01]

The most important event in my opinion is the establishment of production for the 2S22 Bohdana self-propelled howitzer. In the long term, Ukraine will have to rely on its own production, this applies to equipment and ammunition. With the current rate of 6-8 Bohdanas per month, they already have a higher production capacity than many western countries, only South Korea and the USA still surpass that.

[@Перемогобуд]

Funny)) so after 30+ years of Ukrainian independence we finaly got it, we have created a gun on a truck with no auto loader or guidence system)) a true wunderwaffe.. чудозброя of time. Slower than any analogue, and produced in a nomber of +-10

@@Перемогобуд Says a lot really...none of this really started until US backed coup in 2014...that was over 20 years of Ukraine being independent and they didn't seem to have much to show for it...or did Ukrainians actually want to be poor? That is the spin western apologists would probably try.

[@MrWasGehtSieDasAn01]

@@Перемогобуд 1. The Bohdana has a guidance system 2. Not having an autoloader also has advantages as there are fewer parts to wear out, it is easier to repair in the field and production is easier. 3. Production has just begun, which means the number of guns per month will increase significantly and will also mean that Ukraine is no longer dependent on NATO for artillery. If they can now increase ammunition production, Russia will have big problems. Personally, I hope that Ukraine uses the tactic of attrition and simply inflicts as many losses as possible on Russia, thereby forcing a Russian withdrawal.

[@Oldsmobility98]

Russia is outproducing NATO in artillery shells, but you think Ukraine increasing their own production is going to give Russia "big problems"? @@MrWasGehtSieDasAn01

[@BS-vm5bt]

@@MrWasGehtSieDasAn01 Artillery systems does not matter as much as munitions production. This is the main problem people never seems to understand. As a example poland is buying a massive number of himars system but not the number of munition and spare parts to sustain and maintain those himars. A tank without fuel and ammunition is just useless the same goes for artillery. Ukraine can never match the production numbers that NATO has no matter how hard it tries since the industrial output of the west is way higher. If munition supply decreases then everything will go to hell for ukraine. But politicians are dumb as hell so they care more about the number of systems they have rather then the munition stockpile needed to actually use those systems. Ukraine should focus more on missile and shell production rather then system production. Since its a lack of munition that is creating most issue for them.

FPV drones have been pretty big in conflicts around the world, anyone with a drone kit and some explosives can take out significant equipment pieces for pennies by comparison. I think they are pretty responsible for causing both sides in Ukraine to have to dig in since drones can halt most advances on the spot.

[@EatMyShortsAU]

FPV drones are very effective right now but this war tends to eb and flow before it was all about artillery.

[@Oldsmobility98]

It's not just the FPV drones delivering ordnance, but also the prevalence of surveillance drones, which have eliminated the viability of large scale offensives. Any large accumulation of equipment is easily detected, and targeted, before it can even reach the front line. The element of surprise is absent on the modern battlefield, and until a new technological breakthrough occurs, the defenders currently hold a massive advantage.

[@EatMyShortsAU]

[@tamanousJP]

The change in troop numbers on the front was huge. Russia got a manpower advantage on the ground for the first time size the war began in 2023. In 2022 they were outnumbers 2 to 1 in infantry. The partial mobilization in Russia was a huge event that slowly changed the battlefield in 2023. It became much harder for Ukraine to break through and the number of Russian offensives increased a lot. By contrast, Russia spent much of the second half of 2022 on the defensive.

[@rolandoantoniomirandamendo4633]

I don´t really think NATO will directly participate in combat unless a NATO country is actually attacked in porpouse

[@Rob_F8F]

The one truth after two years of war is that combat favors the defense. Russian and Ukrainian offensives have both been stopped by prepared defenses. The Russian successes at Bakhmut and Adiivinka have been gained only through taking massive casualties. To replicate those victories, Russia will have to mobilize more and more people.

[@Nn-3]

[@Oldsmobility98]

Not if Ukraine's defense collapses. The desperate conscription and increase in women at the front lines, indicates that Ukraine has reached the bottom of the barrel for manpower.

[@BPS298]

I feel like 2024 will be the most important year in the Ukraine war. If Russian and Ukrainian offensives both fail, then it will be clear that it’s become a ww1 type stalemate, and we all know who won that. However, if Russian or Ukrainians have even a single successful offensive (by successful offensive I mean things like Ukraines first 2 big offensives) then their would be significant reason to continue the war from the side that wins. Basically, in my opinion. 2024 will be the year that decides who will inevitably win and whether or not Ukraine keeps getting funded enough to have a successful army.

[@dominuslogik484]

2024 will decide if this is going to become another Korea pretty much.

[@patrykpiszcz4666]

As off now I think we’re in the year of 1917 where both sides are trying to crack eachother and maybe we will see one side try to push to end the stalemate the same way as Germany launched the spring offensive in 1918

[@SarionFetecuse]

The west is out of its stocked up supplies and now there is no political capacity for the EU and the US to support ukraine. That is what russia was banking on after they pulled out of kiev. They know for a protracted war they will win, this is why they have not commited to any major offenses and uses defence in depth to such a good degree.

[@Dorgpoop]

I think the US election will be almost as important as changes on the battlefield. If republicans are elected then the US aid to Ukraine will likely cease immediately. Lots of EU countries are also showing decreasing interest for Ukraine in the polls. I don't see the UK slowing down their rate of support much as both the Tory and labour parties have been vocal in their support, but if the aid from other countries dried up continuing the war would become untenable and there would probably be a cease fire.

[@t.n.h.ptheneohumanpatterna8334]

I think it will be like the Korean War when fighting stops cuz neither side can take really any meaningful amount of territory but no peace treaty is ever made

[@AnythingMachine]

And remember, Binkov used to talk about hypothetical war, but then they all started happening

[@comensee2461]

The biggest change in 2023 was the public perception of the war. Everyone assumed that Ukraine's counter offensive would roll over the Russian's and they'd be vacationing in Crimea by the end of the year. With that prospect dashed - or really any prospect of beating Russia on the battlefield - has led to a drastic decrease of funding and public support to Ukraine. The war in Gaza has also drawn the media and world attention away. Overall 2023 was a fairly lackluster year for both sides militarily. If you compare maps from the start of the year and the end there has been hardly any land exchanged and both sides have taken massive casualties. Russia has captured cities like Bakhmut and Maryinka, but still has at least 20 towns just as big as them before they can capture the entirety of the Donbass. 2024 is likely going to be a major turning point in the war. Russia is pressing Ukraine on 6 fronts and due to depleted manpower, Ukraine is giving up land faster in the last 2 months then in the previous 6 months. They'll likely mobilize the additional 500,000 reserves to shore up the front, but without proper training and western equipment they'll just be cannonfodder on the front. What happens in the US in 2024 will basically decide what happens with the war. Without funding and equipment Ukraine will surrender.

[@EnverHalilHoxha1917]

Hello igor. What you said here is completely false. Before anyone reads this massive wall of misinfo let me fix some of this comment. Firstly, no one thought this war was going to be easy for ukraine in 2023. If you follow the western media a little bit, everybody was expecting russia to at least learn from their mistakes. Igor claims ukraine and russia have lost close to the same number of men and equipment (second paragraph). That is obviously false. Dont take my word for it. Follow the war. Igor doesnt mention in the third paragraph, that russia has been using and losing more millitary equipment than ukraine, 6k men a week, and he fails to mention that ukraine and europe will hold against russia no matter what. (Even if the US pulls back because they are stupid enough to vote for trump who claims he'll declare war on mexico.) Ukraine will never surrender, neither will europe. I have to admit, the americans have betrayed democracy. Their support for ukraine falls as the politicians get paid by the russians. Yet another proof, that the us will always follow the money. Its never been about democracy for them.

That's less old stock in US reserve in a potential conflict with China, which if it turns major US will need all she has and more. Taiwan is a quasi US protectorate thus Taiwan falling would be a larger blow to US prestige and strategy than the loss of Ukraine. US largely wiped the floor with Imperial Japan in the end but initially struggled, China would be a whole different animal. US preparation for a major war is on balance worse today than in 1941...sure today they have far more overseas assets already in place, however the US population is mostly not ready to fight (given China already runs in a somewhat military style fashion and most Chinese are fit mobile people) and US already has a significant debt burden after the War on Terror without a major war to fight. WW2 took debt to over 100% of US GDP and that was with USSR/British Empire on their side doing most of the actual fighting at least in Europe, no US ally today has equivalent power to either of those...likely US debt would rise towards if not over 200% of US GDP and US government would be bankrupt either fast running out of money or producing money too fast that inflation spirals too high...China's debt burden is far lower, there has been talk of China's economy collapsing since the 2000s but US strategic apologists had to say something to make the US economy sound invincible no matter what.

As with HIMARS, new weapons such as the long-range cruise missiles (new as in suddenly getting extended capability for the fight), only give brief effect really. HIMARS and storm shadow for example had well documented effects when they were introduced and for a period after, but as with everything, people adapt and HIMARS and storm shadow are not nearly heard of as much now. Same goes for Russian Kinzhal. Great effect in the beginning, but even if Ukraine can not protect herself from those missiles completely, they have adapted and the damage dealt is not nearly as extensive. Resources can be spread out. In the beginning it was convenient for Russia to have large stationary munition stores near the front as it eased logistics and was just a simple way to operate. Russia could do this because Ukraine could not really do anything about it until they got long range precision capability. Ukraine started off not being able to do so, and had to dispperse even more when Kinzhals came so in that regard they had a head start. This dispersion is also seen on tactical level as recon/artillery drones hinders troop consentration. This blunted the initial Russian offensive, and doomed the Ukrainian 2023 summer offensive (it is regularly mislabeled as a counteroffensive, when in fact a conteroffensive is a way to defend against an ongoing offensive by the enemy, which was not a thing because Russia never conducted an offensive in southern Ukraine front during summer).

[@julianwalde4810]

The event that shaped the war and will continue to shape the war way more than anything else is the aid Ukraine receives. If aid to Ukraine comes to a complete stop now then they will have to cut down on their current ~35% of GDP spent on their military in order to at least keep the economy somewhat afloat, because even if their country is at war.. there's no way the regular people will just sit back and starve to death. So that means their huge military expenditure will be massively cut down, what does that mean for the battlefield that has adjusted based on the money they currently have/are getting as foreign aid? Well obviously a cut there aswell, the question is by how much. That's probably the only thing that truly scares Ukraine, because in such a scenario they would need to have a peace talk with Russia or face a complete collapse across the front lines.

Ukraine managed to gain some land in that area after the city was captured, but the were not able to keep it and are even being bushed beyond jan. 2023 lines in that area. The Avdeevka offensive as well, looks like a new Bahmut. Ukraine has enjoyed a strong defense in Avdeevka before, being able to keep troops there at a minimum to strengthen other lines. If that fortress falls, Ukraine will have a much harder keeping reserves that are not constantly engaged in combat. This will impact both offensive and defensive action?

[@andrewmckenzie292]

Not to mention Zelenskyy has shown a willingness to throw reserves at settlements that are likely more pro-Russian or at least Russian speaking, reserves that then wouldn't be available for defending areas that are more pro-Ukraine/west if Putin decides to invade those areas later after success in the Donbass. Donbass has been at constant war since 2014, yet Zelenskyy is putting the whole country on the line (including those that can at least live at peace with Kiev regime) to try and get Donbass/Crimea back. If its really about pleasing the west (Russia gaining Donbass and/or a foothold in Ukraine would be a reverse in Russia's post 1991 demotion as a great power, something US seems prepared to avoid even at cost of thousands of Ukrainian lives) then that increases the chances largely that Ukraine as a whole will cease to exist within the next couple of years rather than the more pro western areas existing in a reduced form and strictly neutral.

He may be relying too heavily on western sources.

The Institute for the Study of War for instance is not directly affiliated to the US government but uses Ukrainian government sources for a significant portion of its research and largely echoes western government talking points, I look at their maps as though the above applies technically its the closest to unbiased you can get (from either side), but have long given up on their analysis though, its technically quite good but is largely just giving a technical perspective to narratives given by western governments. Russia/China try to sprout propaganda to promote their causes as part of their efforts. The west led by the US do nothing else and know no different. Little wonder media wise Ukraine basically has already won...any doubters within those spheres are quickly talked down and they have the veneer of "trusted sources and experts" to act as a technical extension of their political narrative.

@@worldmapping4895 No, but the French parliament like all the other parliaments in the Western world have their roots in feudal and monarchical tradition. The US Congress does not because the US has never had an aristocracy or a king and its legislature has no executive authority.

The last poll i seen out of the US had a slight increase in support for aid the shocking thing was that it was in the republican side where the biggest increases were seen i can’t remember the exact number but it was around 30% said send more up from 25% and to much was down from 38% to 30% and that was just the republicans

20% of the Russian Black Sea fleet has been sunk or damaged. And Storm Shadows can hit any port in Crimea.

You are correct. But it does not matter. Ukraine ran out of time. They have to negotiate peace before my fellow American taxpayers stop writing all the paychecks and Kyiv and their government collapses and flees with whatever cash is left. 😢

[@Chuck_Hooks]

@@skenzyme81 Looks like the Russian navy is running out of time as well as ships in and around Crimea. The significance of the lost Russian landing ship is that no Russian ship is safe in any port in Crimea. And F-16s have not even joined the fight yet (apparently).

however while 2023 was in important year 2024 will be the most important year of them all, the USA presidential elections of 2024 will determine on the final outcome of this war, however whether Russia manages to lose this war or gets out a good deal from this war and the Putin regime surviving its economy will still be in ruins, it will still be under bad sanctions, its military much weakened, its economy dangerously on war footing, no more investments from the west, and a worldwide pariah. Russia will have much great difficulty recovering from the war. Im not surprised if Russia experienced a 21st century version of the time of troubles after Putin dies or his removed from power.

I find it hard to believe that the US elections could mean all that much. Even if by some miracle the Democrats drag the corpse of Joe Biden over the victory line there still won't be much appetite to continue the Ukrainian blank check. And if Trump wins while he might have been able to stop this war before it started he doesn't have much leverage to do so now.

[@jack727dave5]

⁠@@jong.7944If Biden wins, he doesn’t need to worry about reelection so a lot of the political pressure dissipates.

[@jong.7944]

@@jack727dave5 But it's not pressure on Biden holding up the funds, it's pressure on Congress for other domestic priorities. And second term presidents usually have much less success with Congress because they're lame ducks, easily defied.

Sounds like Ukraine doesnt have the equipment keep going

[@peka2478]

By itself it doesnt. With its allies it does.

[@Clee-os6pv]

@@peka2478 "By itself it doesnt. With its allies it does." That just means Ukraine would have lost much sooner and much early without the so called aid and other support from others.

AID issue is another non issue...NATO will continue to give more...and is ramping up production everywhere....meaning Ukraine will continue to get more each year....
