Your questions answered: as Kyiv suffers from a lack of soldiers and delays in deliveries from its Western allies, Russia has advanced in many places along the front line. Just this week, the Russian defense ministry announced the capture of two more villages in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.

With Ukrainian forces outmanned and outgunned, DW takes a look at how the frontlines are shifting and what that means for Kyiv's hopes of winning the war.

    No worries. DW says Russia running out of missiles and Leopards are coming.

    Who invited that expert? He talks absolute nonsense
  • @Jb41523
    Can you imagine calling the guy with the tie an expert? 😂😂

    Ukraine lost, two years ago. What you've seen for the last two years is NATO twitching and jerking its corpse like a puppet.

    “Chasiv Yar doesn’t mean much to Russians”.

    What a lie. It is on high ground and advantageous for that reason.

    Strategic ambiguity is a trick to give Ukrainians false hope.
  • @andrewadam7663
    No, most pro-Ukriane and pro-West reports stated Russian soldiers are surrendering and deserting. And so now I figured out that the Russian are retreating..towards Kyiv (LOL)and NATO's MBT succeeded in advancing to Moscow as they are now featuring at Moscow square😅

    Even to an untrained observer like me, your coverage (and the views of your “experts”) strikes me as blindingly one-sided and impossibly optimistic…

    American human rights activist Ajamu Baraka: Ukrainians finally realized that they were being prepared for destruction for the sake of the geostrategic interests of the United States, which have nothing to do with them. The result is massive capitulations on the front line and people avoiding conscription.

They won’t ever listen to us again.” — Espen Barth Eide, Norway's Foreign Minister

    The older dude is so hawkish. Let's see him at the front😂
  • @pjhgerlach
    No worries, if DW is saying this then that means Russia is struggling.

    She would have been the greatest reporter in history if she would have said "now, it's a ghost town" instead of deserted
  • @cannon26ify
    Ukraine is in the same spot Germany found itself in 1943-45. They won't be able to claw back the territory they've lost. Best case scenario is they'll hold onto what they still have and be forced to the negotiating table.

    Western Media aside, 2 years ago most people knew picking a fight with Russia was un winnable. Worse than picking a fight with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
