Hundreds Missing, Cost Of Holding Krynky Exposed - Costly Withdrawal: Ukraine War Map/News Update

All during the winter and going into spring, the Russians were publishing videos of grenade and kamikaze drones taking out Ukrainian dinghies on the freezing waters of the Dniepr. They were also publishing videos of Krynky being flattened by artillerie,and of artillerie strike on the islands. I am surprised at the LOW number of casualties published in this leak. Krynky was never a stable position for the Ukrainians, with almost no cover in the village, no way of moving fast in the muddy islands, and Russian drones with night vision covering the waterways 24 hours a day. This battle was such a useless waste of life, but we've grown used to that from the Ukrainian/NATO side.

Anypne that thpught Krinky could be used as a legitimate bridgehead was delusional. Between the span of the river and swamps between the banks, the drone coverage over the river, and the artillery overmatch Ukraine had zero chance of expanding that foothold.

It's really disingenuous to say that the purple areas have been occupied since 2014. The Crimean people democratically voted to rejoin Russia after having been gifted by Khrushchev (a Ukrainian) in 1954. The Donbas was NOT occupied by Russia in 2014. There was a civil war that resulted in those territories being held by the rebels. The Russians gave them aid, just as the US gave Ukraine aid to wage a brutal war against its own people, but to say the Russians occupied the Donbas in 2014 is simply a bald face lie. Russia tried for 8 years to solve the issue diplomatically whereby the Donbas would remain in Ukraine.

the ukrainian marines literally died for nothing in krynky, many such cases in the rest of ukraine

Krynky... the most stupid act from US/NATO HQ after the collapse of dam. i have a friend that survived 2-weeks in Krynky, he was assign to river-crossing. The most difficult pictures and videos that i saw was actually from Krynky. Alos, a lot of UKR marines died in crossing, the epidemics that sparks in south coast of Ukraine is from Ukraine dead marines. The film when vehicles roll over dead bodies (a lot of them) is horrific, but the video of rats and boats is one of the most tragic and horrible that i saw.

For a thousand years of war fighting - holding a bridgehead is a bitch - a thing you do for as short a period of time as possible before you surge your main force onto and past, the bridgehead. Holding this bridgehead for a year is madness -> political war fighting - the PR about withdrawing is far less costly than sacrificing more Hungarian-Ukrainians and Russian-Ukrainians 'fodder' to hold it.

This harrowing footage is deeply unsettling, revealing the devastating toll of warfare. The senseless loss of young lives in battle and the anguish of families awaiting their return is a stark reminder of war's true cost. Such profound human suffering must not be allowed to continue. The responsibility lies heavily on political leaders who have allowed this conflict to escalate. Compounding this tragedy is the forced mobilization of civilians, dragging even more people into the carnage. The international community must intervene decisively to halt this madness and urgently facilitate peace negotiations before more lives are needlessly lost.

a costly UA PR stunt...

Correction - Russia was not pushed back from the RH bank of Dnipro, but rather withdrew their forces, knowing well that logistically it would be impossible.

All the time ukraine did tell "only small Troops" are fighting in Krynky... another Lie

Poor boys who don't know each other are killing each other for old man who do know each other. As old as time ♥

Better late than Never! Been a fan for months Willy, keep up the good work bud!! Greeting from Florida

Even though I know Willy supports Ukraine, I appreciate his objectivity and the fact he refuses to shill for Kiev. Bravo.

Imagine dying for a PR loss...

"Krynky - half kinky half cranky" - HistoryLegends

this is not a biased channel, rather pro Ukrainian!

I like your videos, but in no way can you say you are unbiased. You are clearly on the Ukrainian side

Russia left the right bank not pushed back.

It is interesting how Willy compares the imperialist war in Afghanistan (4.35), which I believe he participated in, with the situation in Ukraine, which is essentially a civil war encouraged by the West. A simple example of the views and differences in the opinions of Westerners and Easterners.

Everyone who had a decent brain understood that Krynky was a bad idea worse part they continued even after losing Avdiivka those Marines would have been more useful in the frontline
