Hundreds of Russian Surrendered After Russian Reinforcements DESTROYED by Ukraine Transcript 0:07 welcome to Divine Justice today we focus on a sudden and significant shift on the Eastern European chessboard our focus is on Ukraine's bold Maneuvers in the KK region of Russia a battlefield where history and strategy Collide in recent days the Ukrainian armed forces have launched a series of strategic offensives in the kers region dramatically changing the Dynamics of the region the Strategic offensive of the Ukrainian armed forces in the KK region has had dramatic consequences in particular these offensives created serious weaknesses in the Russian defense lines leading to the surrender of many Russian soldiers according to the latest information a total of 70 Russian soldiers surrendered to Ukrainian forces during the day including 20 Russian soldiers captured near suda videos shared on social media 1:01 showed Russian soldiers blindfolded and handcuffed during these raids in the KK region more than 400 Russian soldiers have reportedly surrendered to Ukraine so far the mass surrender of Russian soldiers is boosting morale and motivation on the Ukrainian 1:16 front motivated Ukrainian troops 1:19 continue their advance in the KK region 1:22 Ukrainian forces are intensively 1:23 targeting The Kino Airbase located 50 m 1:27 away Ukrainian military forces have 1:30 launched two separate attacks on this 1:31 critical Airbase in the last 11 1:35 days the closest military Airfield to 1:38 the Border Town of suda the center of 1:40 Ukraine's sudden invasion of KK oblast 1:43 is the Kino Air Base in the city of KK in the oblast of the same name Kino is home to the 14th guards fighter Aviation Regiment of the Russian Air Force the regiment's 24 suco s30 SM fighter bombers weigh up to three tons 2:00 and can carry kab Glide bombs with a range of 25 miles or more on popout wings shortly after five Ukrainian brigades crossed the border on Tuesday the Russian Air Force began striking the brigades and Ukrainian bases in sui oblast with about 50 kab a day that's half the number of kabs the Russians 2:19 have dropped on the 700 milei front line 2:21 that they have maintained against 2:22 Ukraine for 29 months the ukrainians 2:25 know how important Kino is that's why 2:28 they have been attacking harder since 2:29 the week before The Invasion Kino is 2:32 only 65 M from the border and is within 2:34 range of a wide range of Ukrainian deep 2:37 Strike weapons including ballistic and 2:39 cruise missiles and explosive 2:41 drones the ukrainians have struck the base several times since February 2022 a drone raid on Kino in December 2022 caused a fire in the bases Fuel Depot another attack 8 months later involved Ukraine's unique cardboard attack drones the attacks 3:00 escalated on July 31st just 6 days 3:03 before the Ukrainian Invasion the 3:05 Ukrainian Navy's Neptune cruise missiles 3:07 hit Kino's Ammunition Depot and burned 3:10 part of it to the ground possibly 3:12 destroying all the kab stored 3:15 there 11 days later Ukrainian troops 3:18 captured about 400 square miles of K 3:21 oblast they fought a barrage of kabs 3:23 that damaged or destroyed several 3:25 Ukrainian 3:27 vehicles on Saturday night or Sunday 3:29 morning 3:30 a Ukrainian missile apparently fell 3:32 short while speeding toward Kino and hit 3:34 an apartment building in K as long as the ukrainians retain control of the area adjacent to the Kur border the danger to the 14th guards fighter Aviation regiment and other Russian forces in Kino will increase if they attack Kino from inside the occupied Zone the ukrainians can Target The Airbase with shorter range ground launched Rockets including m331 as fired by the American made High 4:00 Mobility artillery rocket systems it is 4:03 not clear that the Ukrainian military 4:05 would risk its precious High Mars so 4:07 close to the front line but if it wanted 4:09 to it could hit Kino harder than 4:12 ever on the other hand the recent 4:15 intensification of trench digging by 4:16 Ukrainian forces suggests that the 4:19 military situation in the region is 4:20 heading towards a long-term 4:23 stalemate there is growing evidence that 4:25 Ukrainian troops comprising 4:27 520000 man brigades and at least one 400 4:31 man independent Battalion are preparing for a long-term deployment this suggests that Ukraine is preparing for a static War by digging trenches along or near the current front line similarly Russian forces are building defensive lines in an attempt to Halt Ukraine's advance and protect its existing territory however these preparations do not mean that Ukraine has stopped advancing or that Russian forces cannot Counterattack 5:00 the digging of trenches by both sides 5:03 suggests that the front line is being 5:04 stabilized in Readiness for future 5:06 clashes and that military tactics in the 5:08 region point to a long-term 5:11 conflict observations by Russian 5:13 military correspondent Alexander kenko 5:16 reveal that Ukrainian forces continue to 5:18 dig trenches in the KK region in a 5:21 letter the Estonian analyst 5:23 characterizes this as the worst thing 5:24 that could happen as it risks the 5:26 conflict becoming protracted and 5:29 difficult to resolve 5:31 according to Ukrainian sources 5:33 industrial excavators are working intensively on both sides of the front line the use of this heavy machinery indicates that both sides intend to strengthen their defensive lines and consolidate their current positions this suggests that any future attempts at progress May face difficulties according to Keno's comments Ukraine's actions in digging trenches could lead to a conflict scenario similar to the situation in 6:00 Aviva in Aviva it took 6 months for the 6:03 Russian army to withdraw Ukrainian 6:05 defenses resulting in tens of thousands 6:07 of 6:08 casualties a similar situation in KK 6:11 could have serious human and strategic 6:14 consequences it could be argued that the 6:16 Russians won the Battle of Aviva in 6:19 mid-February only because the ukrainians 6:21 ran out of ammunition after months of 6:23 delay in US Aid to Ukraine as planned by 6:26 pro-russian lawmakers in the US Congress 6:31 now that us Aid is flowing again Russian 6:34 forces around the KK bulge cannot count 6:36 on Ukrainian occupation troops running out of ammunition to drive potentially thousands of Ukrainian troops out of KK they will need to capture one trench at a time unless of course the Kremlin can mount a powerful Counterattack before the Ukrainian trenches are completed but the window of opportunity is closing fast and Ukrainian offensives are blocking Russian reinforcements trying 7:00 to reach the KK front if the KK Salient 7:04 stabilizes it could become important as 7:06 a new front in Russia's 29-month war 7:08 against 7:10 Ukraine in KK the ukrainians along with 7:13 its immediate neighbor sui oblast have 7:15 strategically deployed more than 10,000 7:18 troops this presents a serious challenge 7:21 to Russian forces in the region 7:23 according to reports by the Ukrainian 7:25 Center for defense strategies Russia's 7:27 Northern group of forces is trying to 7:29 move 10 to 11 battalions to the front 7:31 lines this translates into about 4,000 troops however the movement of these battalions may represent only the initial Echelon of a larger Russian operation on paper the northern Forces Group commands a total of 48,000 troops the bulk of these forces are currently in V chonk at the center of the Russian offensive along the Russian Ukrainian border that began in May if the Russian command stops FOC focusing on the advance in v chonk and other Frontline 8:02 towns and cities and shift these forces 8:04 to K it could mean a serious strategic 8:07 shift one of the main objectives for 8:10 Ukraine's occupation troops could be to 8:12 force Russian forces to reduce their 8:14 strength on other 8:15 fronts this strategy is intended to 8:17 divide Russia's war effort and weaken 8:20 its capacity to manage pressure on 8:21 several 8:23 fronts as part of Ukraine's overall war 8:26 strategy this tactic aims to further 8:28 strain Russia's military and logistical 8:30 resources and create weaknesses in its Regional defenses so what are the Russians doing to manage this process in an effort to slow Ukraine's Advance the Russian military is now mobilizing its most intense Firepower against Ukrainian troops moving along the roads as part of this strategy the Russian Air Force is using kab gliding bombs Each of which has a range of 25 M or more and can carry hundreds of kilog of explosives these bombs are designed to 9:00 collapse Ukrainian defenses in 9:02 preparation for Russian ground 9:04 attacks so far these gliding bombs have 9:06 been used extensively especially in 9:09 eastern Ukraine where they have been 9:11 supporting the slow advance of Russian 9:12 regiments all spring and summer with 9:15 heavy 9:16 losses suco Su 34 fighter bombers can 9:19 drop up to 100 such bombs on a daily 9:23 basis the focus of the Russian bombing 9:25 campaign shifted north towards KK on 9:28 Tuesday 9:29 this strategic shift coincided with 9:31 Ukrainian forces crossing the border and launching a sudden counter invasion of kskk this surprise move allowed Ukraine to open a front on Russian territory in the 29th month of the war and involved Ukrainian Frontline units of at least five brigades as the Ukrainian battalions attacked from their base in sui oblast just across the border from kers they came under heavy shelling by Russian forces the Ukrainian general staff reported that the intensity of the 10:00 fighting has increased and the Russians are actively using air power helicopters and heavy weapons a statement by the Ukrainian Center for defense strategies noted a noticeable change in the enemy's Aviation efforts with a significant part of the attacks now targeting the territory of KK and Sumi oblasts prepared for this situation the Ukrainian Army has tried to counter the air strikes of the Russian forces by deploying electronic Jammers and a significant number number of air defense batteries these defenses were equipped with Technologies capable of jamming radio signals and in some cases even intercepting satellite guided bombs in addition Ukrainian air defense batteries effectively using explosive Laden drones managed to shoot down several Russian helicopters in return Russian Artillery damaged a Ukrainian buuk air defense vehicle demonstrating the intensity of the conflict and the technological capabilities of both sides 11:00 the shelling of sui did not prevent Ukrainian troops from marching on neighboring KK and capturing several towns including most of suda which until now had been the center of Ukraine's counter offensive the Russian army mobilized reinforcements but Ukrainian Rockets prevented some of them from reaching the front line in K Russian fighter bombers thus shifted their target points to Russian territory on Thursday kabs attacked Ukrainian vehicles in the Russian village of darino on the Northern edge of the Ukrainian Advance on Friday gliding bombs attacked Ukrainian troops in Leon aovo not far from darino Russian gliding bombs some weighing up to 3 tons are powerful but inaccurate and pose a serious danger to civilians around the target assuming of course that civilians are not the target the Kremlin may not mind accidentally killing Ukrainian civilians but it is apparently less willing to kill Russians 12:00 as the bombing of KK intensified authorities ordered the evacuation of the oblast so what are Ukraine's objectives in this raid as with all major operations in war we need to consider the Strategic context and strategic political purpose of such operations the 2023 Ukrainian counter offensive had both political and strategic objectives so will this latest Ukrainian attack on KK what might these be the following section is speculative given that Ukraine has not yet made any significant official comments about the attack at the most basic tactical level this operation will be about seizing territory and destroying Russian ground and Air Forces this is the central role of ground forces in the war but these are tactical tasks what is interesting are the operational and strategic objectives of conducting operations to seize territory and destroy the enemy there are several 13:01 possible operational objectives for this Ukrainian offensive first Ukraine may be trying to distract Russian forces from their offensive on New York and their Advance on toret and pokrovsk this may be possible but given Russia's advantage in Manpower this outcome is probably unlikely another operational objective that is more likely to materialize is to force the Russians to reconsider their Force positions Elsewhere on the front line the Russians will will have to fight back and they do not have bottomless resources even to do so they will have to abandon defenses elsewhere to respond to the Ukrainian offensive in kskk Ukrainian surveillance systems will monitor such Russian movements and stand ready to exploit the opportunities they potentially generate finally Ukraine may have in mind some specific operational objectives related to the location itself the KK nuclear power plant could be a Target but this is speculative and 14:00 is still 60 km from the Ukrainian border it is much further from where Ukraine is currently thought to be operating important Road and Rail lines could also be disrupted as a result threatening the city of KK itself could be a target for the operation but this would be a long-term objective the Strategic objectives of this attack can only be estimated at this early stage first the attack could be an attempt to slow down or kill Russian momentum in their offensive lasting until 2024 Ukrainian planners will realize that even Russia cannot stay on the offensive forever they may be aiming to use this crossb attack to force the Russians to reassess their troop deployments across Ukraine this could have the effect of slowing or halting Russian offensive operations the second strategic objective could be to make The Narrative of the war more positive for Ukraine and counter Russian misinformation about its inevitable victory in 15:01 Ukraine in 2022 the offensive in kiv not only surprised the world but also changed the narrative about Ukraine's ability to sustain the war and led to a significant shift in the West's approach to providing Aid Ukraine may be hoping for something similar here but as I have often written NATO also needs to change its strategy to one that favors Ukraine defeating Russia in Ukraine the third strategic objective could be to boost the morale of the Ukrainian people given the last 8 months of 15:34 defensive operations constant air strikes on infrastructure and ongoing power outages the will of the people will be at the Forefront of the Ukrainian government's assessment of the course of the war a successful offensive against Russia could be seen by the government as worth the risk of using experienced brigades in this operation as it would reduce pressure in other regions rather than playing defense in eastern Ukraine the fourth strategic objective for 16:01 Ukraine could be to do what the Russians are currently doing in eastern Ukraine to seize as much territory as possible if Ukraine is forced into some kind of negotiated settlement in late 2024 or early 2025 it is much better to negotiate with some of your enemy territory than to negotiate without it and while there are many problems with any kind of ceasefire or negotiated settlement Ukrainian strategists May believe that in the the short to medium term having Russian territory will give them better leverage if they are forced to the negotiating table so far the Russian system seems to be still experiencing the shock from the Ukrainian crossb offensive the mass of Russian forces and possibly Reserves at the operational level and their tactical Aviation and operational Firepower are concentrated further south while Russia will almost certainly have strategic reserves and forces in the KK and car regions that it can use to stop the Ukrainian advance this will take some time to 17:02 organize Putin seems to have come to the four more quickly with this Ukrainian offensive than any other surprise in this war during the progan uprising Putin disappeared for a while this time Putin quickly convened a meeting of the National Security Council part of which was shown on Russian television and described the Ukrainian Cur operation as another large scale provocation because of course nothing Rush has done in the last 30 months in its brutal invasion of Ukraine is provocative Putin will send a message to the US Administration to take the Reigns Ukraine Russian offensives in eastern Ukraine especially the toret and pocr axes of Advance seem to have not yet been affected the Russians still seem focused on seizing more territory in this region however any propaganda coup resulting from such gains is probably already long over overtaken by Ukraine's 18:00 significant seizure of Russian territory in the Battle of KK we should expect an accelerating Russian response to the Ukrainian crossb offensive Russia probably has the manpower to react but speed will be key to the effectiveness of their response the centralized nature of the Russian command and control system hinders their speed and adaptability during such crises it is very likely that Ukraine will turn Russian responses into a war game and allocate a defensive elements to hit Russian troops moving towards kke this is likely to be a multi-stage Ukrainian operation and planning for likely anticipated Russian moves in the coming days and weeks will be Central to Ukraine's overall planning for this operation Russia's response to the invasion troop deployment air strikes on Ukraine and diplomatic moves will become clearer in the coming days the final point on Russia's response will this be the last straw for gasimov 19:00 I have already written about his 19:01 shortcomings before and during the war 19:03 in this war he has consistently failed 19:06 in strategy Force building and a number 19:08 of other areas of strategic 19:11 leadership at a meeting of the National 19:13 Security Council to discuss the ksk 19:15 situation gasimov informed Putin by 19:17 video that for the ukrainians their 19:20 advance in the direction of ksk has been 19:23 halted while he is loyal to Putin and 19:26 this is very important will Putin 19:28 finally decide to abandon him after this 19:31 disaster in 19:32 ksk Ukraine faces a daunting set of problems as it continues this operation these include tactical operational strategic and political challenges tactical challenges the first order tactical challenge will be to maintain momentum Ukraine will want to keep moving forward until it achieves its objectives at the same time it will want to keep the Russians off balance and sure that the Russian military is always 20:00 several steps behind in responding to Ukrainian actions and at the same time Ukraine will want to make sure that it can keep the breach open for advances and any withdrawals such penetrations into enemy territory create opportunities but they also create weaknesses one important weakness is the flanks of the advancing ukrainians as I wrote in this article an important tactical task will be the allocation of security forces to keep open the corridor to Russia that Ukraine is now creating the more Ukraine penetrates the more forces will be needed for this task then it will be difficult to provide the ukrainians with fuel food ammunition and everything else in advancing Army needs deep in enemy territory not only must reliable routes be available but Logistics convoys must be protected from ground and air attacks while success or failure in this Ukrainian crossb offensive will not mean winning or losing the war it will have a significant impact on Ukrainian morale and Western 21:01 support ultimately however the success or failure of future offensives will be determined on the ground good leadership at all levels flexible execution decisive close combat good Logistics and adaptability to surprise and opportunity will be vital for tactical and operational success and this must be implemented for sound strategic reasons all this could make for a larger scale raid on Russia than the previous attacks in 2023 and 2024 we will know in time thank you for
