Update from Ukraine | Wow! This was Unexpected! Russians Confirmed Ukraine's Advantage

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]Hello my friends, this video I want to start from the long range strikes of Ukrainian army on Russian military facilities. For example, the one in Donisk airport. Well, actually there was the operation of Ukrainian army already around couple of months where Ukraine destroyed the storage of the Russian Shahed drones and also some of the launchers of the Shahheads. But Russians continue to send more of the supplies to the same airport which is not that far away actually for the front lines. Well, for the longrange drones, it's basically not the distance. And let's watch this video with you because it was just released. Hooray. There was a kaboom in one of the part. This was the terminal long time ago. And it looks like some sort of the carpet bombing I would call it. So there were at least three of the points where the strikes happen and Ukraine again report about successful demolition of the Russian Shahit storage and the strike was conducted not by the longrange drones actually but by scalp missiles cruise missiles supplied to Ukraine. At least three of them were launched. UAV storage facilities at Donesk airport. Here we have the confirmation. Satellite images have already been presented showing the damage down to this part of the storage and it was freshly built. So this is the terminal building and before Russia stored their drones over there two months ago it was obliterated and today minus one more hanger for Russians. So not just oil infrastructure of the Russian Federation has been hit but also their military infrastructure on occupied territories. My friends, just a usual short reminder for you.

[00:02:09]You're the best. Now let's continue with the video. Guys about the front lines updates. I have a fresh one from the Russian channels. Not yet from the deep state, not yet from the mandent. So I'll concentrate attention on this one especially then I see some of the good picture for Ukrainian army in Zaparisia direction. So behind my image there is a Zap Parisia city itself just for you to understand the location. Well, here we have a Russian map. Yeah, without Crimea Zaparisia obelist allegedly. That's what they say Ukraine looks like but they will retreat from Ukrainian territory finally. Nevertheless, Ukraine expanded with a gray zone even further than Steppna. It is quite interesting. the versero of the confirmed locations of the battle between Ukrainian army and the Russian one. Ukraine still here operates with drones. However, there was the presence of the special forces of Ukrainian Gore military intelligence. It was spotted in stepner city around 2 weeks ago and just yesterday it was one more confirmation from our Gore forces.

[00:03:16]So, Ukraine was successful in cutting Russians from the dachi area. Plus, Ukraine is moving from Steepenhirk even further. Steppnah, I wouldn't say that it's fully under Ukrainian control.

[00:03:28]Still, there are some of the streets, especially in the western outskirts, they're under the Russian control, but it's just a matter of time. I see that Russians are not sending reinforcements to Kaminska to step over. For now, Ukraine has an advantage and Russians continue to report about it. So all of this gray area is the place where Ukrainian army went with the counteratt attack I would say quite successfully.

[00:03:53]So not just in Nipper Petrosco oblast or eastern part of Zuparisia obelisk but also not far away from Zuparia city itself Ukraine goes on counteratt attack and using drones also plays the great role in this uh scenario but Russians are saying that they're attacking towards Slavansk and chromatur so sloansk is over here and this is chromatsk and definitely Russians they have this attack vector from kaleni rinovka and kvalo villages. Allegedly, they moved to the less douli. This is the forest podge. Allegedly, they're hiding their forces there, but leaves are not still on the trees. So, I think that they're very well visible. Well, at the same time, Ukraine has a bridge head in Ry Alexander from which Ukraine started the counterattack towards Lipfka, moving again with the gray zone.

[00:04:45]Also, Ukraine strikes towards Mink Kfka village and the Russians are saying that the distance to reach Chromaturks for them is 14 kilometers and one of the Russian drones has already been spotted in that settlement. Well, those attacks of the Russian longrange FPV drones were happening even before and this is the zoomed out image. Once again, Ukraine was successful in moving towards Lipfka, but Russians moved a little bit from Kaleni village and allegedly according to the Russian information, they're moving to get new positions and there's the threat for Ry Alexandrifa. So there are a couple of the pockets for Ukrainian army, but also there are pockets possible even for the Russian one and I told you about Ukrainian counteroffensive towards Yampil where Ukraine was at least partially successful. Well, I would say that for now, Ukrainian defense here is kind of struggling, especially after Russia was capable to occupy Civer. Civisk is somewhere over there. So, Ukrainian defense wasn't really ready for that move of the Russian army. And Russians, they're keeping advantage, I would say, in this direction until they reach some of the natural obstacles and the Ukrainian defense lines. On this map, you may see Ukrainian defense lines presented. They're going in the line together with a river. And yes, I am checking usually Russian military bloggers if I want to get some of the information from the Russian side. I do not check their official propaganda because there is everything red. They occupied already Constantinfka and Russians, Russian military bloggers themselves. They're making fun about it.

[00:06:20]They do not trust their military official information. And in this context, I want to tell you about the Russian censorship that was recently applied on all of the Russians. And there's the huge backlash even from the Russian elite. Well, according to the Bloomberg article, Russian FSB elite may ease some of the restrictions on internet because they understand that the protest potential in Russia is getting higher. Also, Russian military bloggers, they're very skeptical about this internet blockade. They're outrages. They're saying that those were some of the spies who are working to destabilize Russia from inside. That's why they're blocking Telegram. And Telegram, by the way, it's not accessible in Russia any longer without VPNs. Well, VPN, it's very hard to block. It is not impossible, but there are some of the good VPN services and they update their code every time. So, it's hard to track those VPN companies or Russians have to switch from one VPN to another one. That is what is actually happening in China. Yes, even with China with their developed firewall, you may still get access to the Google platforms via VPN. So we'll see in the coming weeks uh whether they definitely may ease some of the internet restrictions because they wait positivities and negativities. probably Putin's circle underestimated the disappointment from ordinary Russians and there is officially drop of the Putin's personal rating not because of the war in Ukraine but because of the blockade of internet and we have also freshly published publication from Magar Birds and other Ukrainian drone units who continue to operate using FP1 and FP2 drones they show here how they demolish for example tour air defense systems Russia it seems like They're capable to produce many of the tours because the rate of how they lose those. Well, I would say it's outstanding. It's unprecedented. And many other facilities. What is this?

[00:08:18]This is Tahimajara. So, Magar birds, they hit some of the port infrastructure. It happened just yesterday, maybe in occupied Crimea. And here's the panser one as they spotted.

[00:08:29]This is a very versatile unit. And by the way, very, very capable. A unique feature for the Russian air defense. The only mistake Russians made is they put this kind of the large air defense system on Kama's chassis and this vehicle is struggling. It's struggling with the power and sometimes it rolls over in a turns flipping to the side because it's very high center of gravity on this vehicle. Nevertheless, it was found and obliterated. Russia also lost so many of Ponser 1s and Tour one M1 sorry once again. So two tours were lost for a single day for Russians. They try to cover it in hunger protection. Well, it might help against the small FPV drones, but FP1, FP2 drones, they carry lots of the payload, lots of the TNT. Of course, this protection is just useless.

[00:09:22]And here you can see the fire. There was the strike and it was a big kaboom. to define whether it's FP1 or FP2 drone.

[00:09:30]You can see this aiming equipment and the Firepoint company logo on both of the sides of the Ames. They have this artificial horizon level that helps drone operator to maneuver the drone very far away. Those drones are equipped with Starlink. So the signal, as you may see, is very robust. There are no distortions till the very last moment.

[00:09:53]And it also helps Ukrainian soldiers to earn more of the points. So they may purchase more of the tools. Here you may see two of the FB2 drones. The one is over here on the left. It is aiming towards the building. And right after the next one there numerous of the videos like that. Ukraine absolutely boosted the production of those drones.

[00:10:12]And now it's even larger than in Russian Federation for their Lancet drones.

[00:10:17]Before Ukraine hadn't got that tool, but now Ukraine has an advantage over the Russian army, which is crazy if you think about resources Ukraine has and the Russian Federation. Russian Federation cannot structure their resources like Ukraine. Ukraine is more open-minded. Well, for Ukraine, it's the war for survival. That's why Ukraine is willing to change to resolve the issues because the weight of mistake or misjudgment could be crucial for the general Ukrainian survival. That's why there is the competition from many of the developers of the drones. In Russia, they're just corruption schemes. And those who are affiliated with the Russian defense ministry, they have their own contracts and no one looks of how their drones performing, whether they're effective or not. For them, the war in general is still on someone's territory, and they're not risking that much, but in the end, it gives Ukraine an advantage. And we have lots of the reports. So, new drones are giving Ukraine a battlefield advantage and ravaging Russians oil industry. Ukraine has seized the initiative on the front thanks to new generation of drones with AI. While AI helps to define the target, still the job is done by the drone operator. It's not like drone flies on its own navigating choosing the target.

[00:11:37]No, it's not happening for Ukraine and for Russia. Maybe that's the future in a several years, but not right now. So, which effectively destroy air defense energy facilities rear of Russia fortunes. So, maybe they misjudged the AI use in this process. For now, it is still like minimum. Analysts note that the Ukrainian pace of innovation is significantly ahead of the Russian one for the reasons I already told you.

[00:12:02]Plus, Ukraine has the access to the Western technologies. Ukraine is capable to produce its own components. Ukraine has access to China's spare parts, steel, and also to the European and American parts. So overall, Ukraine technically has an upper hand. Also, Ukraine is not using the strategy of the meat waves unlike the Russian army because the value of the life of Ukrainian soldiers higher for Ukrainian society. Ukrainian people would not accept the same strategy as Russia is using on the front lines. And the only variant for Ukraine to for example successfully counterattack or to repel Russian attacks is to develop its industry of the drones which Ukraine does successfully. So of course Ukraine here is more smart than the Russian army because it is forced to use less resources but those resources are more technological than the Russian ones. But Russians may upscale some of the production. For example, they copy pasted Iranian drones, Shahit 136, and developed their own Giran 2 drones. Now they have their own independent production. But it is not enough.

[00:13:11]Ukraine now has drone interceptors. So Ukraine has the antidote to the Russian attacks. Well, Russians still may hurt some of the Ukrainian infrastructure with their ballistics and iscandar, but they're very expensive. So those strikes they're happening occasionally just on the most sensitive part of the infrastructure. That's why it's important for Ukraine to get also advanced air defense systems like Patriot. And we have in this video going to tell you about it some of the good news from Germany. Ukraine may obtain more of the Patriot missiles especially right now. It is crucial because of the situation in the Middle East where Patriot missiles are used elsewhere.

[00:13:50]Yeah, just open those news right away for us not to wait for a long time. So RTX Rathon to deliver Patriot interceptors to Ukraine. Fantastic news.

[00:14:00]It was agreed during the Ramstein meeting. Well, here they say that the country was signed for $3.7 billion for interceptors for Ukraine. This is a substantial amount of money and potentially large amount of those interceptors which are also crucially needed for Ukraine. And again it tells that Ukrainian defense is the part of the main priorities for European Union.

[00:14:24]The situation in Middle East well it plays the role for the world economy but for the physical security against mighty Russian army. Ukraine is the active shield of Europe. So it's important to protect European infrastructure. And I'm very happy that here Germany yeah the new GMT production facility uh it is open in Germany in cooperation. I'm sure with Americans uh they help steal Ukraine. It is fantastic. But all is paid by Europeans of course because there is no direct military support from the United States of America at least right now. And I think it will stay like that as far as Donald Trump is the president of the United States. And here we have the result of the operation for the last week published by Ukrainian drone army. While the drone army is the separate part of Ukrainian armed forces.

[00:15:12]There's also ESBU military intelligence and they also commence those strikes using FP2, FP1 drones, looted drones, other types of the drones. So those are not all of the losses for the Russian side for the last week. There were many of those and the drone army says that they hit logistics, air defense systems, gas or sorry oil platforms and one of the ship Burve Vestnik that was hit by two of the drones. Allegedly, it sustained dramatic damage. And just today, there was one more long-range strike on a Russian gunpowder plant. A fire at a gunpowder factory in Kazan resulted in a partial collapse of the structure. The cause is man-made. Their casualties all services quickly arrived.

[00:15:59]Victims are receiving necessary medical assistance. The production process has not been stopped yet. the partial collapse of the structure but production process has not been stopped. It is very interesting. I don't believe that It is like the usual Russian propaganda with debris falling from the drones which were intercepted by the Russian air defense. And Ukraine is so successful with its strikes especially against the Russian oil facilities that Russians are saying that Ukraine was not capable to perform those strikes on its own. No, it seems like west is involved.

[00:16:36]All of those countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine operates from those countries. Moreover, it was United States that organized all of that. So, was hit with United States made cluster munitions and American trace has been found in the Ukrainian armed forces strikes on Usluga. You see?

[00:16:58]So, Russians, what would do you do about it? You will tell Dimmitri not to visit United States any longer. What about the spirit of encourage? Yeah, it's always like that. Just a standard Russian propaganda. All right. There was Zalinski's visit to Germany today. They discussed lots of the questions with merits and not only well the main thing is about the military support of Ukraine. those 90 billion e which were agreed by the European Commission before but because Victor Orban was blocking the first transfer of money for such a long time the allocation was postponed for the second quartal of this year. So the financing of the Ukrainian army may start somewhere in May in the best case or maybe June or even July. That is what Orban actually managed to do quite successfully to help his masters in Kremlin. But in general, it will not help Russia this year. Still, Ukraine has lots of the drones and the warfield is being controlled by Ukrainian kill zone. Yes, Russians also developed their kill zone with their drones. But Ukraine has an upper hand here. And actually for now, it doesn't matter of how many forces Russians could send to take more of the Ukrainian territory. All of those forces will be identified and kaboomed.

[00:18:16]And about the future prime minister of Hungary, Peter Magar, there was some of the betrayal, we call it Zerada, that Magar doesn't want a fast assession of Ukraine to the European Union family.

[00:18:28]Well, actually multiple countries are against that. Big countries like for example France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, they're against the fast procedure for Ukraine to join the European Union. They have their own reasons for that. They insist that Ukraine must undergo full cycle of reforms. Well, it's their decision. As for me, Ukraine is more ready to join European Union than some of the European Union current members. Yeah, there are some of the countries, let's say, their institutions also require some of the reforms like for example Hungary. Yeah, under Orban there were no proper reforms being conducted. That's why billions of euros were halted for Hungary as the financial support. But now with Magar, this window is been open for Hungarians.

[00:19:16]Hopefully everything will go well for them. But I'm sure that in the future, of course, Ukraine will be the part of the European Union family and most of the Ukrainian citizens. They're pro-Uropean and they would like to join.

[00:19:29]Of course. Well, we have some of the great news from the United States of America. Treasury Department has decided not to extend the sanction relief on Russia. So here you may see the return of the Russia oil sanctions. It happened I would say automatically. Well, nevertheless, United States might announce a new relief for the Russian sanctions at any hour. It's their policy and we have already seen before that at least couple of the times they relieve the sanctions. Now the strategy has changed especially with the United States blockade of hormones trade and also I'm sure that they saw how markets reacted on that. there was no huge fluctuations whether there's sanctions on the Russian oil or not. So they decided to keep those sanctions and to trade more with its own oil to India for example. So I wouldn't say it's some sort of the pro- Ukrainian gesture from the white house administration. This is the pure benefit and income looking scenario for United States. All right, we have some breaking news from Russia.

[00:20:32]Oh my god, what the translate? Google translate really sucks for those images at least. The Russian Federation Duma allowed Putin is to introduce troops to the region to arrest and try. Ah, come on. Okay, this is the original. I understand Russian so I may translate it for you directly. Russian duma. So the Russian parliament allowed Putin to intervene with the forces, military forces towards the countries where Russians are being arrested or prosecuted. And you know the countries where it is happening regularly. Yeah.

[00:21:09]Not just in Ukraine but in Baltic countries. In Baltic countries. Could Russians prepare for such a move to intervene with the military towards Baltics? Well, I don't believe that it's possible like in Ukraine full-scale attack thousands of the forces like hundreds of thousands, but several thousand he might introduce to Suvalki corridor to check NATO reaction. I already mentioned that before and despite Russians inability to reach the ground substantially nowadays in Ukraine, Russians may be successful in Baltics, partially successful with a smaller operation. And it's not just me telling we have this information from the military intelligence of the European Union countries. And Russians are also developing their ground boats.

[00:21:57]This is the courier one. Yeah, they have mainly the single model. It has some of the anti- drone protection as you might see. And the goal of it is to drop some of the TM62 anti-tank mines. So it's the remote mining machine. Ukraine also has multiple of those. See those mines are been dropped. But the range of the Russian unmanned vehicles is very limited. You see it has a huge antenna.

[00:22:21]You will not find the one on Ukrainian ground drones because there is the place for the Starlink. And Russians, they don't have the Starlings. That's why they might go by several kilometers.

[00:22:31]However, they're still capable to mine some of the local front lines. Well, this project is kind of interesting. It is not the Russian one. It's the Polish anti-drron flying castle, I would call it even. Well, this is Anton of 28. By the way, that airplane was designed by Polish guys together with Antono factory. And here they want to put two of the Gatling cannons to the sides. One then another one. Some of the machine gun on the top. Also some of the rockets under the wings over here and over here.

[00:23:05]And what is this cannon port on landing gear and one more turret at the bottom.

[00:23:11]Wow, they want to really weaponize this airplane to the tease. There is more firepower than an embomber of the second world war like B7. And this is the new reality. They took the experience of Ukrainian Anton of 28 crew. They have just one Gatling cannon installed, but they shut down the record number of the Shahi drones. So, I would say that this project could be very successful. I'm not sure if they're capable actually to install so many weapons there. But, uh, this is a very powerful airplane. I used to fly the one. I used to have at least the training on Anton of 28, then my training program was cancelled by the airline, so I had to renew it on the other airplane type. But I've flown this one on skydiving drops as well. So it may accommodate all of that potentially.

[00:24:00]It may. It is a beast. The weight of 3 and a half tons and each engine,000 horsepower. So wow, this is great machine and the idea in general is great too. So we'll see. Poland is analyzing the war in Ukraine and they're moving to the proper direction. Guys, about Ukraine, it's all what I wanted to say for today about Iranian update. Maybe I'll record one more video because there are some of the news coming. Kind of interesting news and very important that might influence Ukraine as well.
