In this section, the speaker discusses the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. They mention that there has been a full confrontation between the two countries along the state border in various regions and on the frontlines. They also discuss how Belarusian President Lukashenko is expanding the authority of the Belarusian army, possibly to secure his own power. The speaker reports on the enemy's active presence in the border areas and their attempts to prevent Ukrainian troops from being deployed to other operational directions. They mention a recent serious battle that took place, where Ukrainian forces were able to repel the enemy and force them to retreat. The speaker also discusses the situation in different strategic areas, such as Horditsa and Avdiivka, where Ukrainian forces are holding their defense and preventing the enemy from fully surrounding them. The situation in Avdiivka is described as particularly difficult, with ongoing attacks and the loss of some areas, but the city itself remains under Ukrainian control.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.02 Partial Success of the Enemy in Avdeevka. Donald Trump blocks aid to Ukraine," it is reported that Ukrainian forces have suffered partial losses in Avdeevka, specifically in the areas of Severnyi Perвомайskiy and Nevelskiy K. Despite the difficulties, Ukrainian soldiers continue to defend their positions with success in the Mariinka direction, where they are maintaining a defensive line against enemy advances. Another topic of discussion is a recent battle in the area of Novomikhailovka, where Ukrainian forces were able to destroy a large enemy column consisting of nine broken-down armored vehicles. The column was reportedly attempting to advance towards Ukrainian positions, and the Ukrainian forces used drones and infantry attacks to disrupt and eventually defeat the enemy. While Ukrainian forces are unable to expand their positions due to the significant military superiority of the enemy, they continue to defend their areas effectively.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.02 Partial Success for the Enemy in Avdeevka. Donald Trump blocks aid to Ukraine," the speaker discusses the Ukrainian forces' defensive strategy to maintain a foothold and expand their position in a certain area, while acknowledging potential enemy pressure. They explain that even if the enemy manages to put pressure on their defense in one spot, they can shift battles to other areas of the same frontline. The focus is on forming a continuous defensive line from Oleshki to Khakhovka on the left bank of the Dnieper River. The speaker then moves on to address conflicting reports regarding Russian airstrikes on civilian areas, specifically a bakery in Lisichansk. According to the Ukrainian command, no civilians were present at the location and only collaborators were targeted. The initial BBC report, however, claimed civilians had been killed in the attack. The speaker emphasizes the legitimacy of targeting collaborators and questions the BBC's credibility given their inability to confirm or deny the reported details. The discussion ends with an update on military actions, revealing that Ukrainian forces have attacked five enemy locations, resulting in around 70 enemy casualties overall.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.02 Partial Success for the Enemy in Avdeevka. Trump Blocks Aid to Ukraine," speaker Mike Johnson of the US House of Representatives rejects the bipartisan agreement on border issues and aid to Ukraine due to a bill he considers worse than the previous one. He refuses to put it up for a vote. Trump, who consults with Johnson, categorically rejects any help to Ukraine, preventing it from reaching the floor for a vote. Europe is suggested to compensate for the US weapons deficit, but it remains uncertain if they can do so. The situation is interesting as it serves as a litmus test for who controls the US at present: the White House or Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Forbs reports that Russia may run out of combat vehicles within six months as their losses outpace production. Russia is using outdated tanks like T-60, T-62, and T-55 and is having difficulty maintaining them, with production falling behind. The monthly loss of military vehicles for infantry is approaching 400 units, and Russia's two-year reserve is nearly depleted.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.02 Partial Success of the Enemy in Avdeevka. Donald Trump Blocks Aid to Ukraine," Forbes writes about the significance of a humanitarian corridor in the Black Sea, specifically the Cherноморsky corridor. Ukraine has managed to organize and ensure the safety of this corridor, allowing over 660 ships to pass through since August, exporting approximately 20 million tons of grain and other cargo. The economic experts note that these ports, primarily in the Odessa region, have the potential to reach military capacity despite ongoing attacks. The defense forces are patrolling the Black Sea, and a Norwegian-Finnish company plans to increase ammunition production fivefold in response to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. This increased production is expected to contribute to Finland's military aid to Ukraine, with artillery shells playing a crucial role in the country's defense. The delivery of promised military aid, including F-16 fighter jets and their accompanying weaponry, is expected in March. These jets will reportedly feature a 50-level modernization, including missiles with a range exceeding 300 km.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.02 Partial Success of the Enemy in Avdeevka. Donald Trump Blocks Aid to Ukraine," it was discussed how the U.S. Senate proposed imposing sanctions against Hungary and its prime minister, Viktor Orbán, for undermining the unity of the European Union and NATO. Trump reportedly supported this move due to Orbán's persistent efforts to delay the European Union's financial assistance to Ukraine. Additionally, Orbán was criticized for playing with Sweden's NATO membership ratification process by not providing a quorum for the vote. The speaker argued that the United States should consider imposing sanctions against Hungary, given its unsettling behavior. The conversation then shifted to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who allegedly amended the internal service regulations of the Belarusian military to absolve soldiers of responsibility for causing harm or death when using weapons against civilians. The speaker criticized Lukashenko's actions as the behavior of a last dictator in Europe, who was preparing his army to shoot at the civilian population during protests and facing no accountability for their actions.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.02 Partial Success for the Enemy in Avdeevka. Donald Trump blocks help for Ukraine," there is a panic among pilots regarding Russian pilots who have reportedly killed a commander of a strategic bomber, Tu-95, in the city of Engels. The pilot, Major Oleg Sigachev, is alleged to have directly contributed to launching missile attacks on civilian objectives in Ukraine and causing fatalities. Russian pilots know where they are launching rockets and have used strategic bombers with long-range missiles, neither of which have been used on the front lines or against critical infrastructure or civilian residential areas. The Russian pilots are the ones dropping bombs on Ukrainian territory, leaving a trace and likely facing retribution for their actions. The first part of the video covers military and geopolitical matters, and the speaker encourages viewers to subscribe to his channel, like the video, and wait for the next segment where they will answer questions from viewers. The speaker then discusses the difference between damaged and destroyed military equipment. Damaged equipment, if the battlefield is held by the defending side, can be evacuated or destroyed. However, if the enemy has access to a repair and restoration base, a damaged vehicle may not remain out of commission for long. While there is debate about the significance of damaged versus destroyed equipment, there is no doubt that damaged equipment is still a threat on the battlefield.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.02 Partial Success of the Enemy in Avdeevka. Donald Trump blocks aid to Ukraine," the speaker discusses the difficulties Ukrainian troops face in destroying abandoned or damaged enemy equipment due to a lack of ammunition and artillery fire. They also mention that drones are being used to try and destroy this equipment when possible. The speaker then shifts to discussing the delay in military aid to Ukraine from the United States, despite Biden's need for a victory before the elections. They explain that the United States currently has 50 partner countries supporting them in this conflict, but the delay in aid is due to organizational issues in changing suppliers, and that Trump's increasing influence on domestic politics in the US is causing delays in the aid. The speaker expresses concern about the situation and the lack of compensation from Europe to make up for the missing American aid. The discussion ends with the speaker acknowledging the difficulties and expressing their belief that they will find a way to overcome the situation.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.02 Partial Success of the Enemy in Avdeevka. Donald Trump blocks aid to Ukraine," the speaker explains how the enemy's long-range missile, the Mig-31, equipped with the Kinzhal missile, can cover the entire territory of Ukraine with its reported 1,500km range. This means that when the Mig-31 takes off, Ukraine is forced to declare a full-scale air raid warning across the entire country. Radar stations, command centers, and anti-aircraft defense systems are activated as they search for the missile's location, which is then shared with their own missile forces for targeted attacks. The speaker acknowledges the advanced capabilities of the enemy's radar systems and how they have improved their technology to sabotage Ukraine's defenses. They mention that Mig-31's long-range capabilities pose a significant threat, forcing Ukraine to activate its entire air defense system, including all available radar stations and missile forces, effectively rendering the country defenseless in the given scenario.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.02 Partial Success of the Enemy in Avdeevka. Donald Trump blocks help for Ukraine," the speaker discusses the effectiveness of the THAAD and S-400 missile defense systems. The S-400 system has a longer detection range and reach, but its chances of intercepting a ballistic target are extremely low due to a low probability of 0.3. The time of reaction for the S-400 system to detect and respond to a ballistic target, such as a Russian S-400 missile, traveling on a ballistic trajectory is also a factor. The speaker also mentions Operation Valykria, which was an attempted coup to assassinate Adolf Hitler in Germany, but expresses doubt that a similar coup could occur in the Russian military's highest command. The Russian military Telegram channel reported issues with Kalashnikov pistol-mitrailleuses and the lack of ammunition, specifically bullets and belts. The speaker mentions that the main strategic supply of small arms was located in Ukraine during the Soviet era, not in Russia, which may contribute to the current shortage of these weapons and their accessories.
