> All of these channels are blatant Russian propaganda. They're also full of blatant lies. All 3 of them.
Can you point out examples of lies or do you just label every source that does not align with your beliefs as propaganda?
The Military Summary Channel sources Deep State (pro-Ukraine) and videos made by Ukrainians, are you telling me that these are also lies?
There was that video of a bradley(IFV) managing to defeat a Russian tank on History Legends, why would the Russians make such propaganda?
> Avdiivka was literally visible from the windows of high-rise apartment buildings in Russian-occupied Donetsk.
That's why it was so critical to capture it because the Ukrainians were able to comfortably shell the separatists from there, that's why it was important.
> Avdiivka, the "greatest success" of 2024, was a small town with pre-invasion population of 32 000
It was one of the most and best defended strongholds of Ukraine that was in range of the separatist capital, getting rid of that was huge.
Being important economically is not the same as being important militarily, a village of 1000 people can be more important than a town of 10 000 if it's in the right place.
> All other listed are even smaller: Vuhledar 14 000
It had high rise buildings and it was surrounded by flat terrain, incredibly difficult to approach, was blocking the Russian army for a long time.
> It took three years to get there.
Because it had an insanely high concentration of Ukrainian forces and some of the best defences.
> losing 400 000+ a year
War started in 2021, we are now in 2025, that's 4 years, estimated size of Russian army is ~1 500 000, which means they should have a minus 100 000 soldiers, that does not add up. You could argue that maybe the Russians are just that good at recruiting people at this horrible survival rate, however you would need to account for contracts not being renewed, which makes it very hard to make the numbers add up.
