00:00hello and welcome back to another update
00:02as we covered the latest developments
00:03throughout the front line in the Rus
00:05Ukrainian War dying out from the
00:07northern direction we see here in the
00:09direction of below Rifka that the
00:11Russians have managed to advance in two
00:12separate directions since the start of
00:15March the Russians restarted offensive
00:17operations in the direction of bifa
00:19where they first off started advancing
00:20here to the south of the Industrial Area
00:22to the east of bifa and now they're
00:24advancing in the Central and the
00:26Northern parts of the village and with
00:28this we see that there is some attempt
00:31by the Russians right now with infantry
00:33assault groups to advance further and
00:35further towards below Rifka before
00:36storming the village as they've stormed
00:38many other Villages over the past few
00:41months moving further south in direction
00:43of bmud in the direction of Ian itself
00:46we see that the Russians have advanced
00:47within the village and are now reaching
00:49the center in the Northern parts and
00:52with this advancement the Russians have
00:53cut off the main road here to the north
00:56of ianiv and the Russians are looking to
00:59capture the the western parts and move
01:01further s southwards to cut off the
01:03ukrainians completely from any AIS to
01:05and from the village and with that we
01:07see that the Russians are continuing
01:09their offensive operations here within
01:11ianiv itself as they try to push the
01:13ukrainians out and gain control of it
01:16the Ukrainian positions here in ianiv
01:18are reaching a Breaking Point at they're
01:20losing more and more control over the
01:22village with the majority now in Russian
01:24hands Ukraine are having difficulties
01:26resupplying the area and sending
01:28reinforcements to the area because they
01:29pressured on many points on the front
01:31line which means that they will
01:33eventually have to sacrifice some areas
01:35even IFK is extremely important to the
01:38ukrainians because it is the symbol of
01:40any form of potential for to ukrainians
01:43to recapture bmud on the short term not
01:46in years but in months but that is about
01:49to fall into Russian hands and if the
01:51Russians capture ven the whole eastern
01:53part of the canal from the western parts
01:55of bakur and to the north by Rifka and
01:58to the South all the way to and dka will
02:00likely all fall into Russian hands if
02:03they control lanv and the Russians can
02:05start operations in the direction of
02:07chavar moving further south in direction
02:10of the west of fifka the fighting here
02:13has reached a still M the Ukrainian
02:15offensive operations counterattacks
02:17towards these three villages have
02:19reached a halt the Russians are now
02:21trying to regain the initiative and
02:23repositioning their forces to try and
02:25start their own offensive against their
02:28own counter counter Counterattack if
02:30that's what we want to call it in the
02:32end it's just offensive operations and
02:34the Russians are looking to likely gain
02:36full control over all three villages
02:38they already have control over orka but
02:40a part of it is in the gray Zone while
02:42tanen and badesi are mostly under
02:45Ukrainian control in some areas and
02:47other areas they are under firm Russian
02:50hands what we see is here to the north
02:52of Tonka there is this delicated footage
02:55which shows Russian positions here to
02:57the north of the village which indicates
02:59that the Russians are looking to flank
03:01the Ukraine positions within Tonka by
03:03attacking it head on and also attacking
03:05it from the north they will likely ensue
03:07battles here to the west of tan as the
03:09Russians will look to flank it from the
03:10West as well to attack the Ukrainian
03:13positions from three different
03:14directions the main reason for that is
03:16if we take a closer look to tonen we see
03:19that there are two roads on the
03:21Ukrainian hands in and out of the
03:22village if the Russians attack from the
03:24western parts they can gain control over
03:26the Western Road and from the Northern
03:28parts they can flank the northern
03:30positions but there will be no access to
03:32the road itself so the Russians would
03:34have a best potential to actually cut
03:36off the roads or to force the ukrainians
03:38out of the village by attacking from the
03:40Western flank so that is likely a target
03:42for the Russians to advance here in the
03:44western parts and cut of the roads in
03:46and out of tonen which would allow the
03:48Russians to gain full control over the
03:50village in theka Direction the
03:52ukrainians are attacking from the
03:53western parts and Northern parts from
03:55seifa but they're mainly trying to hold
03:57on to the defensive positions here and
03:59as it is important for them to hold on
04:01to seifa to and Bishi as a sort of Twin
04:05Village where they both connected in the
04:07western parts of Bishi here with this we
04:10see that the ukrainians are moving back
04:11and forth between the two villages to
04:13establish their positions and launch
04:15counter attacks and the village of
04:17bishes where we're seeing the 47th
04:19mechanis Brigade launching the counter
04:21attacks with the Abrams which so far has
04:23seen the loss of multiple Abram tanks
04:26moving further south here in the
04:27direction of per as been further Russian
04:30advances within the town itself and
04:32we're seeing that they're getting closer
04:33and closer to the central parts of it we
04:36have seen a lot of positional fighting
04:38here within the town itself the Northern
04:40parts have reached a stalemate a long
04:42time ago where the Russians nor the
04:44ukrainians have launched any offens of
04:45operations to try and improve their
04:48positions instead what we've seen is
04:50that the main part of the fighting had
04:51taken place in this central part and
04:54over the past few months the Russians
04:55have now captured this whole central
04:57part leaving what amounts to that exact
05:00position left in Ukrainian hands we're
05:02seeing that the Russians are getting
05:03closer and closer to capturing perisa as
05:06their offensive operations in FD and to
05:08the west of it have seen much more
05:10success the Russians are now launching a
05:13lot of small assaults towards the
05:15Ukraine positions small armored vehicles
05:18moving through to the front line and
05:20trying to improve their positions and
05:21this has left the central Parts in the
05:23grain Zone and likely the Russians will
05:25gain control of that which would allow
05:27them to connect the northern and
05:30and with that they will have a lot of
05:31opportunities to move further in a
05:33western Direction without having to
05:35worry about their flanks something very
05:37interesting though is the fortifications
05:40here to the south of the town we see
05:41that there are multiple layers and
05:43multiple separate fortifications of the
05:45ukrainians if the Russians manage to
05:47advance further here by Nel and capture
05:49the village and move further in pisu and
05:51capture the town there are still these
05:53fortifications they have to fight
05:55through to push the ukrainians out or
05:57they could simply go around them by
05:59through n and then completely ignore
06:02them but having their flanks exposed to
06:04these Ukraine fortifications is
06:06detrimental in and of itself it is
06:08likely that we'll see continuous efforts
06:10by the Russians to capture more of these
06:12fortifications as they have been to the
06:14south of nil before attacking the
06:16village itself so you likely see the
06:17Russians either after capturing the vka
06:20here to the South move in a Northern
06:22Direction and do it in a pins maneuver
06:24where they attack from both sides and
06:26they headon attack from the East as well
06:29or they would simply move in a Northern
06:31direction towards it head on and capture
06:33it that way either way it will likely
06:35require a lot of artillery preparation
06:36and a lot of fpv drones to try and hit
06:39the Ukrainian positions there this is
06:41why the underground rooms Within These
06:43trench areas are so important if the
06:46ukrainians have that area to just close
06:48the door and stay inside under the
06:50ground the F drones can't really do
06:52anything to them but if they're exposed
06:54in the trenches itself the fpv drones
06:57have them as easy targets moving further
06:59south in the direction of Poa the
07:02Russians have managed to capture their
07:03fortifications here to the southwest of
07:05the village and with this they moving on
07:07to the next Parts which would be here to
07:09the South here in the direction of norka
07:12or Northwest in the direction of the
07:14fortifications to the northwest of the
07:16village there's a trench line and
07:18fortifications here to Northwest of Pua
07:20which is essential for the Russians to
07:22fight through if they want to advance
07:24further westwards from marinka in a
07:26larger operation this is a fortification
07:30that is a very forward position away
07:33from all the other fortifications to
07:36stand as a barrier prior to this whole
07:39open field area the ukraini have no
07:42significant positions in all of this
07:44area this means that if the Russians
07:46capture these fortifications here to the
07:48south of Rifka they can start advancing
07:51here through the villages and towns
07:53towards the V River here to the west and
07:57two important parts in the next line of
07:59Defense until that the Russians will be
08:02focusing on KES Rifka here to the north
08:04and fortifications to the south of
08:06marinka before they start moving in a
08:08Westward direction as for the final
08:10Frontline developments here to the south
08:12in the direction of norka the Russians
08:15have made an advancements to the south
08:16of the town getting a foothold here in
08:18the southern Parts as well as in the
08:20central parts of the town where they are
08:22manag to advance a slow Advance here to
08:24the east with this ulated footage by the
08:26church which indicates their former
08:28advances are now confirmed with wish
08:30confirmation and geolocation with these
08:33advances we see that no mka fighting
08:35continues as Russians are trying to
08:37improve their positions and have sent
08:39additional forces and reinforcements to
08:41capture the town again this is something
08:44that adds up the ukrainians are now
08:45fighting in heavy battles all throughout
08:47the front line due to the concentration
08:49of forces here to the west of fifka to
08:51launch these counter attacks they've had
08:54to leave other towns other positions
08:56below Rifka Ian and others with with
08:59less forces than what they need to
09:01actually hold back the Russian advances
09:03the fifth armored Brigade of the Ukraine
09:05Armed Forces here in ianiv and other
09:08brigades in other parts are very strong
09:11brigades but they're not able to hold
09:12back the Russians by themselves they
09:14need additional forces which the
09:15ukrainians currently do not have they're
09:17SED thinly across the front and if this
09:20trend continues where the ukrainians are
09:22fighting the Russians without enough
09:24forces and in positions that aren't
09:27properly fortified and prepared the the
09:29Russians will increase the rate at which
09:31they are gaining their advantage to
09:33properly gain the upper hand in this
09:35conflict and start launching these
09:37offensive operations which are expected
09:40by the summer the main reason it is
09:42expected by the summer because that is
09:43at the point pretty much every analyst
09:46out there expects that the Russians will
09:48have the upper hand to such a degree
09:50that they're able to launch these large
09:52offensives to go beyond the Fortified
09:55areas of the DK region and into the more
09:59which are much more advantageous for the
10:01Russians to be fighting in and that is
10:04going to be all for this update thank
10:06you all for watching and have a great
