Whatever I write to you, it will cause controversy among other people. And I don't want to argue with anyone. I believe that finding out who is more right and who is less only supports this conflict. It seems to me that it is better to focus on the reasons why it needs to be completed. Even if I agreed, any of my comments on this video would not be short. The analysis of some phrases that the author of the video uttered in 20 seconds will turn into very long texts if you give explanations that are obvious in Russia, but not obvious in other countries. Let's limit ourselves to 14:35, the Russian army had no problems with conscription of men. Men were simply not called up. Those who really wanted to go themselves had such an opportunity by signing a contract for 6 months. By the way, are you familiar with the video at 14:40? The author for some reason did not show the ending. Of course, I may be wrong, but in it, by chance, the Ukrainian military does not shoot at a surrendered Russian lying on the ground? And before that, would they by any chance pick up a rifle lying next to this surrendered Russian?

He says later in the video that Russian mobilization/conscription allowed them to refill their frontline and solve their numerical issues. 14:40 is a video of a bunch of dudes sitting around with RPG rockets. I am not familiar with the entire video but you would have to have serious brain rot to think that Eastory is going to show an execution on his monetized youtube channel.

Early summer it seemed like Ukrainians planned defense of Donbas anchored on Donets river and 2014 contact line fortifications.

Nothing extraordinary happened there. It's just that, with increasing pressure, there comes a moment when some point does not stand up. There would be no Popasna, there would be a breakthrough in another place. The breakthrough was not unexpected, it was expected. Only the breakthrough point was unknown. And when Popasnaya defense only faltered, the pressure on her immediately increased. The units that were ready for a breakthrough came up to her. And that's when the assault began. Artillery, bomb and missile strikes. All this has increased significantly. And the forces of the assault turned out to be enough to expand and deepen the breakthrough so much that the APU could not do anything about it.

According to some guys from the 93rd Brigade of UAF, they were feeling pretty confident and were very successful in their defence of Siledar, but after the rotation and being replaced with the 46th Airmobile Brigade, things started going downhill. At first I believed that this was just a coincidence explained by other factors, but later one of the 46th Airmobile Brigade commanders was complaining about being given soldiers with very weak training which makes me believe that the replacement of the 93rd for the 46th might have been more significant in the Soledar troubles.

A lot depends on whether an assault is underway, or you are under disturbing artillery fire and reconnaissance combat. It depends on what forces the assault is carried out. They could well believe that they had been stormed all this time. And that they were holding up well. They were shelled, they tried to knock them out of distant defense nodes. But their trouble was that it wasn't really an attack. It was preparation for the assault. Their fortifications and artillery positions were identified. When the assault began, the density of artillery fire increased significantly. Aviation joined the case. And their positions were already known by that time.

The info that quite a lot got captured was mostly from russian sources, and wasn't backed up by photos of ukrainian captured (it is pretty safe to assume that russians would brag about such captures with photos of groups that they captured). It is true that the reatreat was done by small groups of troops, but there are no evidence that there were many captures. Additionaly there was hypothesis that a major part of ukrainian troops retreated before partrial encirclement, and only rearguard remained to retreat after partial enciclement.

Most men actually were able to escape but they couldn't take their heavy equipment with them. Quite a lot of vehicles were lost in the chaotic retreat and the units were so disorganized that they couldn't establish a coherent defense of the refinery which was one of the best defensive positions in the area

@@theepashmani6474 Yeah, precisely. It could definitely be that the Ukrainians could withdraw, but could not organize the units from Zolote-Hirske in time, so they had to draw on units from Lysychansk and the area west of it. They managed to succeed in this endeavor however, and the Russian advance was stopped long enough that they could evacuate Lysychansk-Sievierodonetsk. That's what I think
