My meme: "Your eyes, when you are the pilot of Su, and today your flight to the Ukrainian front."

(In the last week, 7 Russian Su bombers were shot down in Ukraine).
This is an increased number compared to the average, since during the entire 2 years of the war Ukraine destroyed 338 Russian aircraft in total.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "20.02 ВСУ сдерживают натиск наступающих войск рф. Дезертирство в армии рф растет," the speaker reflects on the Day of Memory of Heavenly Hundred and the ongoing support from the community for Ukraine's military efforts. Despite Moscow's aggressive attacks through missiles and drones, Ukrainian forces have been able to hold their ground, with donated drones serving as crucial "ammunition." The speaker also mentions seldom-reported ongoing battles along various front lines, from Chernihiv and Sumy to Liman and Bahmut operational directions, with Ukrainian forces successfully repelling numerous attacks. The speaker condemns reports of Russian soldiers executing prisoners of war and continuing genocide efforts against civilians and critical infrastructure. Geopolitical developments include unexpected support from Japan, providing significant aid to Ukraine, and continued military aid and support from countries like the United States and Sweden. Despite these efforts, challenges remain, including protests in Poland blocking Ukrainian grain exports and the threat of Russian minefields in disputed military bases in Transnistria. Ukrainian officials report that Russian forces continue to suffer heavy losses and are attempting to rally more reserves for their offensive around Avdeevka, with limited success. Additionally, issues with Russian-made missiles and increasing desertions in the Russian army continue to impact the war.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "20.02 ВСУ сдерживают натиск наступающих войск рф. Дезертирство в армии рф растет," the speaker pays tribute to the Day of Memory of Heavenly Hundred, a tragic day in Ukrainian history marking the beginning of the annexation of Crimea in 2014. They celebrate the community's active support in raising funds to supply drones for Ukraine's armed forces, with a total of 13,561 Ukrainian hryvnas collected in 24 hours. Moscow continued its aggressive attacks through missiles and drones, leading to intense confrontations in various Ukrainian regions, including Kirovograd, Dnepropetrovsk, and Zaporizhia. Despite the challenges, the speaker emphasizes that drones serve a crucial role as "ammunition," and the community's donations have made a significant impact on Ukraine's defense efforts.

Дезертирство в армии рф растет," the speaker discusses the active front lines in Ukraine where Russian forces have been attacking with rockets and artillery, focusing particularly on the areas of Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia. Russian forces have carried out numerous air strikes and shelling attacks on civilian populations and infrastructure in these regions, resulting in casualties and damage. The situation along the front lines is stable but intense in some areas, with increasing artillery attacks in border regions. The speaker also mentions that Belarusian President Lukashenko is still capturing diversionists but has not yet shown them to the world, and that despite control over certain territories, Russian forces continue their terror and genocide efforts with attacks on civilians and critical infrastructure.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "20.02 ВСУ сдерживают натиск наступающих войск рф. Дезертирство в армии рф растет," the speaker discusses ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia, specifically focusing on the Liman and Bahmut operational directions. Russian forces have attempted multiple unsuccessful attacks on Ukrainian positions near Ter nov and Belogorovka in the Liman direction, while making partial progress in the village of Veselyo in the south of the Syversk area. The New York Times reportedly overlooked this critical front. The speaker also mentions ongoing battles in the areas of Severnyy First of May, Nevelsk, and Lastochkino, where the Ukrainian forces have successfully repelled 14 enemy attacks over the past few days, inflicting substantial damage to the enemy and forcing them to retreat. The front line on the Bachmut operational direction remains unchanged. The zone of responsibility for the Operational-Tactical Group of Forces "Tavria" begins at Avdeevka, and intense fighting is taking place in the areas of Severnyy First of May, Nevelsk, and Lastochkina, where the Ukrainian forces are attempting to build upon their recent successes. The speaker notes that the Russian forces attempted to advance towards the village of Lastochkina, but were met with strong resistance and ultimately stopped and "even broken up" by the Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian forces also shot down six Russian armored personnel carriers, six infantry fighting vehicles, and one tank in this area. Ultimately, the Russians were unable to make significant progress, and were forced to retreat.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "20.02 ВСУ сдерживают натиск наступающих войск рф. Дезертирство в армии рф растет," the speaker discusses ongoing military actions between Ukrainian and Russian forces at various locations, focusing on the Mariinsky and Limansky directions. Russian forces have attempted numerous attacks in these areas, but Ukrainian forces have been successful in repelling them, resulting in the enemy retreating to their initial positions. The Russians have also lost targets and taken casualties during these engagements. Additionally, there have been reports of Russian soldiers taking Ukrainian prisoners of war and executing them, which the speaker condemns as a military crime.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "20.02 ВСУ сдерживают натиск наступающих войск рф. Дезертирство в армии рф растет," the speaker discusses the ongoing conflict between Ukrainian and Russian forces, specifically in the Odesa and Hersonske direction, where the Ukrainian military is defending against Russian military advances. The speaker also mentions that Russian soldiers have committed war crimes, specifically against prisoners and defenseless soldiers. Despite heavy attacks, the Ukrainian forces are holding their ground and inflicting significant losses on the Russian side, with the assistance of Ukrainian air forces. The speaker then goes on to discuss the geopolitical situation, mentioning unexpected support from Japan, which will provide Ukraine with 121 billion dollars in aid, including a 4.7 billion dollar grant, and the opportunity for Japan to sell weapons to Ukraine through the United States.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "20.02 ВСУ сдерживают натиск наступающих войск рф. Дезертирство в армии рф растет," the speaker discusses military aid and support from various countries, including the United States and Sweden, for Ukraine against Russia's attacks. The United States is transferring weapons, including rockets from previous years, to Ukraine, and Sweden plans to provide a military aid package worth $683 million, including artillery shells, anti-tank missile systems, and even submarine weaponry, which would significantly boost Ukraine's capabilities against Russia's navy in the Black Sea. Despite these efforts, Ecuador, which was initially planning to send tanks, armored personnel carriers, and helicopters to Ukraine, has reportedly backed out, citing an import ban on weapons to conflict zones as an explanation. However, the speaker assumes that there might be a financial compensation involved in this decision, as Ecuador and the United States had agreed on arms supplies for Ukraine before this situation arose. The Polish-European border remains closed against Russian aggression, causing significant disruptions.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "20.02 ВСУ сдерживают натиск наступающих войск рф. Дезертирство в армии рф растет," the speaker discusses the ongoing protests in Poland regarding Ukrainian grain exports. The protests are being organized by a farmer association in Poland, and its leader, who is separatist and has visited the annexed Crimea, is currently under investigation for funding these protests. The Polish special services are reportedly conducting a probe into the financial sources and those responsible for hiring people for these protests. The speaker also mentions that the transportation routes, including railways, are closed, with Poland being a significant point of contention as it is where the Ukrainian agroproduct is being blocked from entering the European Union. In response to these protests, Canada has pledged to send 800 drones, worth 500 million dollars, to Ukraine. These drones are equipped with thermal vision and can track signals, making them valuable reconnaissance tools for the Ukrainian military. According to the speaker, these drones will be delivered to Ukraine by April, and the 800 drones will join the Ukrainian armed forces as part of the military aid package from Canada. Lastly, the speaker touch upon the lessons learned from the ongoing war, with the Pentagon estimating that Putin has spent over 200 billion dollars on the war and suffered 315,000 casualties. Ukraine's losses, as reported by the speaker, stand at around 400, and the general staff provides a figure of over 300,000 casualties according to the Pentagon.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "20.02 ВСУ сдерживают натиск наступающих войск рф. Дезертирство в армии рф растет," a high-ranking representative of the US Department of Defense discussed the immense financial burden Russia has faced during the two-year war in Ukraine, which amounted to approximately $211 billion USD or 11.19 trillion rubles. These expenses covered the cost of arming, deploying, and maintaining troops for offensive operations. Russia reportedly spent a total of $1.3 trillion USD on the invasion of Ukraine. If Putin had not initiated the war, the Russian economy could have grown by 5%. Despite these immense losses, Russia continues its offensive around Avdeevka and has even gotten to a standstill in their attacks on this front after the capture of Avdeevka itself. The offensive has seen a significant decrease in artillery shelling and aerial attacks from the Russian side. Ukrainian officials report that they have retreated to a new line of defense, which they had prepared and fortified at several levels. Russian forces may need to take a tactical pause or bring additional reinforcements from other fronts to prevent the culmination of their operation at Avdeevka. While Russian forces have reserves to strengthen their positions elsewhere, there is currently no evidence that they are being moved to this sector. Additionally, another failed missile launch, the eighth known case, was reported in the Yelanovsky region of the Volgograd Oblast.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "20.02 ВСУ сдерживают натиск наступающих войск рф. Дезертирство в армии рф растет," the speaker discusses Russia's failed missile attacks in Ukraine and the increasing number of desertions in the Russian army. The speaker explains that the quality of Russian-made missiles is poor, leading to many malfunctions during launch. In response, Russia is attempting to domestic production of components but facing challenges in producing components of equal quality to Western production. Older missiles are also being used, many of which are not in good condition and often fail in flight. Furthermore, the speaker reports that the number of deserters in the Russian army has increased significantly over the past year, with over 280lldes from various categories of military personnel seeking help through an organization called Idite Les. These deserters include conscripts, contractors, and those who joined after the start of the war. Approximately 36% of all those seeking help were deserters. The speaker suggests that this statistic represents only the tip of the iceberg, with the true extent of desertions likely being much worse. Russia's military command is reportedly forming combined brigades and deploying them to occupied Ukrainian territory to combat desertion. Russia's military currently numbers roughly 460,000 personnel, indicating the extent of this issue.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "20.02 ВСУ сдерживают натиск наступающих войск рф. Дезертирство в армии рф растет," a discussion takes place regarding the disputed military bases and arms depots in the region of Transnistria, between Moldova and Ukraine. The speakers note that an official request from Moldova is required to resolve the issue of disarming unlawful military formations there. They also mention that these older stockpiles, some dating back to the Soviet Union, may be mined and potentially explodable, making accessing them risky. The speakers briefly touch upon past discussions of a joint Ukrainian-Moldovan operation to eliminate Russian forces in the region. However, they admit that they cannot rely on these bases due to these risks. Additionally, clarification is sought regarding battles in Kyiv, particularly at the Berestechko metro station, where the speaker acknowledges there was a confrontation but denies the reports of a significant number of Russian troops involved. The main concern is the worsening situation at the front lines, with the enemy attempting to gain ground on multiple operative directions but with limited success. No major breaches in the front lines have been reported. The discussion then turns to the lack of reserves in Ukraine and the need for the Zaporizhzhya forces to prepare for occupation. The speaker clarifies that the third shock brigade was not in reserve but actively engaged in hostilities in Avdeevka at the time, and that there are no other significant reserves in the Ukrainian military.

00:50:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "20.02 ВСУ сдерживают натиск наступающих войск рф. Дезертирство в армии рф растет," the speaker discusses the military situation at the Ukrainian frontline, particularly in the areas of Zaporizhzhia and Novopavlovka where Russian forces, estimated to be around 50,000, have made advances. Some of these troops have reportedly been introduced into combat, but their main force is being held in reserve. According to the American Institute for the Study of War, Russia's intention is to attack the areas where they have the best chance of success and break through Ukrainian defenses. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian forces are holding on and building new defensive lines, supported by supplies of concrete, cement, and other construction materials. Despite challenges, including limited ammunition, Russia is taking advantage of the moment and the ongoing turmoil in the US over internal issues to make gains in the conflict. They are reportedly attempting to seize control of several areas bordering their declared territories in eastern Ukraine. The future developments around Kharkiv remain uncertain, and there have been intensified bombardments on the city and its surroundings.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "20.02 ВСУ сдерживают натиск наступающих войск рф. Дезертирство в армии рф растет," the speaker discusses the current military situation along the Belarusian and Ukrainian borders. The Russians are building defensives in Belgorod and noting the absence of large enemy formations in Kursk, Bryansk, and Belgorod regions. They claim to have a good handle on the situation and report not seeing significant enemy reinforcements in those areas. The Russian military is reportedly afraid of being outmaneuvered and is increasing its artillery attacks in an attempt to keep Ukrainian forces from withdrawing troops. The speaker also mentions that there have been some tactical gains for the Ukrainian forces, but they are in a defensive stance and making no significant advances. The video will conclude with comments and greetings from viewers.
