Ukrainian forces are readying for the much-anticipated counteroffensive. They’re equipped with new ammunition, more advanced weapons and better trained troops. Molly Hunter has more on the story.

#Ukraine #Army #Military
So when Russia does this they were losing the war, but Ukraine does this they’re not losing the war? Best part is Ukraine is not winning.
Ukraine will destroy every Russian on it’s soil…the one’s who won’t run away and hide that is. The Glory will come when Russia collapses.
Russia is recruiting prisoners and now children, besides Russia isn’t fighting a war!😉.
Mobilization need in usa to save ukrain as volunteer.
😂🤣😂
Can we just all get along ?
fat Vicky Nukand & the Kagan’s say ‘no’
Yes we are sending peaceful Jets and tanks
Don’t be ridiculous. You’re suggesting Europe and the Ukrainians should appease Putin?
No
Do you love Ukraine? Do you love the white race? Do you wish for the white Ukrainian race to succeed? Then join the white Ukrainian resistance, and help white Ukrainians retake their rightful white Ukrainian land!
Please sign up.
uhhhh who’s the target audience for this recruitment video? like are there still actually any ukrainian men left, chillin in front of the TV at home, undecided about their situation?
Notice the lack of diversity, such as emma and her two moms. When the real bullets start flying, all that idealistic crap flys right out the window.
Who cares?
The cold war is over but what comes next east Germany 30 years later?!
The Bundeswehr is not well positioned in the 90s the SPD they dismantled the barracks were swept emty! I grow up with an red beret dont forget this!
OMG – what a stupid unserious woman journalist
Russian propaganda and Ukrainian propaganda looks very similar. Same vibe.
All into the meatgrinder?
A war only knows loosers!
They should have done a US style lgbt recruitment video…
Please Ukraine – do what you need to do when YOU feel you are ready. No need to respond to stupid journalists questions about when the counter offensive will start. We in the west know this is no game. It’s serious. It’s war. So take your time to do it your way. We all support Ukraine 🇺🇦 💯
Who is “We”? You don’t speak for everyone
@2bullcrap yes we do Russian troll 🧌
I worry as well but I haven’t seen Zaluzhnyi do anything stupid yet and I don’t think he’s going to start now.
@Alpha Nomad”we” means the normies who believe everything they are told.
the west want this war. You are aware of that right?
Dirty russians
have to feel sorry for the ukrainian people, especially the men being press-ganged off the streets of kyiv to die in bakhmut, (while women have been allowed to flee the country)
they’ve been duped into fighting america’s proxy war against russia, all you need to know is that the bidens have made millions from ukrainian oligarch’s in the aftermath of the 2014 revolution !
1 simple thing that russian ask “neutrality” and instead of listening they push it to another level but let them be
There were lot of unarmed people become victim
oh look, yet another ghoulishly grinning souled out M$M presstitute on the screens to big up the yankee hegemonic proxy war & the military industrial complex’s sales, it’s a WIN/WIN !
Zelensky has his goons grabbing kids off the street already for quite sometime.
This video is PR for the war pigs; not Ukraine.
In the fantasy land where Ukraine wins how are they going to repay the hundreds of billions Biden gave them?
How Long Will It Take For Ukraine Counter-Offensive To Start? I’ve Been Hearing Them Saying That It Will Start Soon For Some Weeks Now. 50,000 More Dead Ukrainen Soldiers, Like Bakhmut Is What I’m Guessing
Don’t do it, stay alive.
Why is the United States funding this War again?
To stop the halt of Russian aggression and Communism!
Heard that one before in a place called Vietnam and bow the Nike sneakers I wear have a tag reading MADE IN VIETNAM.
I hate the way media are covering this war like a sporting event. All of the experts proposing strategies like football plays and interview the ukranian officials like they are super stars. The smile on her face and the way she was asking about the Starting date disgusts me.
It is a sporting event.
@Eyes_of_Oryx 🍊 1 млн. pуб it really is, the Ukrainians are hunting 🇷🇺 for sport 😅
They are asking these guys the same kind of questions they would be asking a pop star to spill info on the release date of their next album. It’s disturbing how news has been shaped from the emergence of intimate first hand views of the front lines thanks to phones and mobilized media. I remember seeing it first during Operation Shock and Awe in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and it only got worse from there.
Why would anyone want to join a military that depends on the USA? If it wasn’t for the U.S the Ukrainians would have been completely wiped out already. Ukraine’s and Zelenskyy are a joke.
I guess you’re not educated and have never heard about the paradox of tolerance.
Puppet master Blinken said that it was time for Ukrainians to go to the slaughterhouse. WSJ is describing Zelenskyy mobilization in this way: “Mr. Zelensky in January introduced even harsher punishment for desertion and disobedience. A disabled person was drafted in western Ukraine and pronounced fit for service despite having no hands. Another died on the front lines within a month of mobilization after 10 days of training, according to his relatives.” Zelenskyy is officially catching and forced conscripting even disabled. Ukrainian Ambassador to London Vadim Prystaiko: “We’re losing people left and right.” For some strange coincidence sons of Mr. Prystaiko are living in Belgium and don’t want to die for Zelenskyy.
A crude attempt at projection – this is obviously Russia you’re describing. TROLL!
@Christine Marshall menopausal old bats are the absolute worst cowards the MOST incapable and the biggest would be bullies
Disgusting lil coward
@Christine Marshall oh look WHAT A SURPRISE- this fascist old bat idolizes war criminal Barry O
You sound like the love child of Putin and Kadyrov… I hope adopted!
All nato media are covering this war like a sporting event, but no one is talking about the possibility of a nuclear war. Nuclear war seems to be an event that people can joke about.
You are hysterical.
@Birk get lost, you muppet
Americans dont go. UKRAINE won’t win and you are going to come back without limbs. Your lives are not worth it and you won’t be able to provide for your loved ones. Don’t go to Ukraine to fight.
Ask yourself why CBS is so happy asking if the counter offensive today? Tomorrow? Psychological warfare is very real. Why tf should anyone be happy about escalating this war
Blah blah blah ..until all Ukrainians are wiped out in the face of the earth..dumb and stupid to go to war with Russia.
They will be wiped out if they don’t defend themselves. Russia first took Crimea, in Feb 24 2002 they wanted more. Russia will never stop. Russia is like cancer, you better treat it before it kills you.
“slick” 😂😂😂
I’d love to get in there and fight, but I really don’t wanna die yet.
😆
Don’t worry, you’ll respawn
…Well at least you’re honest 😂
Hurry up Putin and destroy that corrupt democratic government.
Look at all that American tax money at work
Money well spent.
that recruitment video looks nothing like Bakhmut.
You’re right. It’s missing the 20,000 butchered Russian orcs.
“Bring out your dead…”
Bad bot
A lot Russian dog barking for they master Putin losing war in here 😂😂😂 almost 2 years now Russian ain’t winning the war yet 🫵🤣🤣🤣 nice try Putin you’re just a kid
Propaganda 💯💯💯💯💯🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Not our problem
People are so sick of this fake war. It’s a money laundering gimmick.
Ukraine should take any peace deal Russia will give them
You’ve no dignity.
@Birk the deal is not going to get any better.
@Operator 9 It can’t get worse.
@Birk you sure about that? when ukraine is a land locked country with no industry or resources and is has to live off eu welfare i think you will regret saying such things.
Zelensky has killed more of his own civilians than he has Russians. Russia won.
Proof?
Russia still doesn’t have Kyiv let alone anywhere near it
Russia lost their flagship
Russia still doesn’t have complete air superiority after all this time
Russia now is getting attacked within it borders
Russia still continues mass mobilizations and needs a PMC and Chechen forces against a much smaller military
Russia resorting to WW2 era equipment and tanks
You-Russia won🤡🤡🤡
Also it’s funny that we can identify missiles on the ground after they blow up and Ukraine shows proof but the only proof from Russia is words
But hey at least there’s also still plenty of evidence about Russia shooting down the airliners of civilians and bombing their own cities within Russia or even crashing jets into apartments 😂
@Birk ROFl brah he got caught shooting missiles into civilian populations. If you didn’t see it you were not paying attention, or you are tarded.
@Chuck Chalmers Hard to see it when it’s your imagination. If its so obvious why can’t you give me some sources.
Where are the drag queens?
Mass mobilization
Media said how dare Russia for putting out a recruitement video but great Ukraine did🙄 lame
1 of the best Hollywood projects ever. Lets just hope Ukrainians will see through the fog of lies eventually.
Once they are standing on the “fog” dead Russian orcs, they will see plenty. They’ll see lots of dead Russian orcs.
doubt it. They support the azov and evne treat these weirdos as heroes. Unfortuantely, I think most of them went insane
Ukrainian mass mobilization to fight usa proxy war against russia
ZOG will fight to the last Ukrainian.. Then they will order the MSM to dump it down the memory hole..
Didnt they draft all fighting age males? Who are they trying to recruit lol
Their country has been invaded, Not every man capable of breathing has not stepped up yet? They need recruitment video’s?
im more surprise that not every ukraine guys are already in the army. if someone invaded ur nation, you defend it. they shouldnt have to make recruitement videos.
recruitment call? to fight and die for the corrupted comedian Zelensky?? no thank you!!!
I don’t know if he is corrupt. Yet it’s nothing compared to Russia. 3 days Special Operation failed due to their extreme corruption in Russia. The column of Russian military equipment broke down on the way to Kyiv.
Slava Ukraine 💙💛 from Germany
GET EM BOYS SLAVA UKRAINE!!!! 🇺🇦
May Russia prevail against the imperialistic ambitions of the US and NATO that are currently utilizing Ukraine’s army as their personal proxy against a sovereign Russia…!!!
LOL. Try again, troll.
Haha… Guess who grabbed land from their neighbor countries. Definitely not Russia.
If they haven’t taken anything except a city of ruble in over 460+ days in the 2 week operation that still hasn’t achieved any original goal they wanted and forced to resort to WW2 era vehicles and still retreating from Kyiv instead of going towards it let alone what happened in Belgorod and their flagship….I wouldn’t put much hope in that hopium
Maybe ukraine can recruit guys in american jails
UA militants are neonazis.
Why would they want black felons fighting with them?
Операція: Чорна стіна?
Air america is hiring F16 pilots
@0:29 Excited smiles … “Imminently? Today?!” 🪦⚰️☠️🤢🤮
Pulter is f*****.
Pardon my boldness, but I don’t think there’s another way to put it.
Dallas, Texas 🌻
I can put it a different way. You are not very intelligent.
You guys just want ww3. Well we all lose. So good luck all.
COME GUYS COME 5O DIE
Every time the counter offensive doesn’t go well, they’ll just say we haven’t started yet. 😂😂😂😂
⏏The British and USA provoked Russia to a war in Ukrainian by killing 14 thousand Russian children, women, and older man in all DONBAS area. The Ukrainian people are been used by NATO, in a PLANNED PROXY WAR AGAINST RUSSIA. Do the people of Taipei, TAIWAN know they are next to be used by USA-NATO IN a PLANNED PROXY WAR against CHINA? The USA is arming Taiwan to give their Government the allusion they can win a war against China. Think about it. In 2014 NATO, Obama&Biden started the Ukrainian war by given military training to 900 thousands Ukrainians and put lot of weapons including biologic weapons labs in Ukraine to exterminate the Russian natives as the pentagon intended to do in China with the COVID19, These give the Ukrainian Government the allusion they could win a war against Russia, most if not all of that 900K are now dead. TAIWAN will suffer the same destiny their island will be destroyed🔆
NATO vs Russia lol
Ukraine sent untrained recruits into the battle of Bakhmut to save its professional soldiers for an expected counteroffensive, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
The Journal spoke with men who were part of a small group that was sent into Bakhmut, which became known as the meat grinder, just a few days after being mobilized. Out of 16 men in the group of draftees, 11 were either killed or captured. The Journal described them as “mostly poor men from villages in the northeastern Kharkiv region, many of them unemployed, doing odd jobs as handymen or shift work at factories in the regional capital
It is an ancient and legitimate military technique called “soaking off.” War is not fair, and people will die no matter what decision you make. The goal is to make the decisions that bring victory at the smallest cost, and Ukraine has been making those decisions brilliantly. The fact that you don’t understand isn’t really relevant, anymore than the fact that you don’t understand how a car mechanic repairs a car or a pilot flies a plane.
Imagine if there was an army in ww2 that fought with all of the other countries weapons
UK and Russia benefited a lot from USA lend lease.
NATO interoperability & standardization is key, its use will clearly be seen in Ukraine!
China actually did earlier and trying to supply its troops was pain
Finland…👀
@Kiri Seraph russia put in 90% of the work and 50% of the sacrifices in ww2
Putins going kick there theeth in to so send them hes ready
“No longer worried about the word escalation”. Is another word for desperation.
Come on all you liberal democrats who are pushing to fight Russia. Get off your lazy butt and go sign up, oh wait democrats don’t have any real men. Just taught pants wearing soy boy beta males who believe themselves to be a woman half the time……
how many people need to die before the warmongers call for peace? how many
All I see are white men, how can the U.S. back such a racist organization? No diversity at all!
After visiting several blogs, I can say that pro-russian trolls have conducted a concerted attack.
at this point? do your worst. lets see what all the hype is about…
❤
Molly Hunter doesn’t know the difference between a HIMARS and a Patriot, but they’ve got her reporting on-location in Ukraine and wasting the time of Ukrainian officials with lousy questions.
No more Russification Of Ukraine! No more ban of culture and language of Ukraine! No more cultural assimilation where non-Russians, willingly or unwillingly, will give up their culture and language in just favor of Russian culture and the Russian language! Ukraine is a sovereign state that has the highest authority over its territory. And it is very clearly understood in International law it is a free independent state and you must respect its rights Russia. Be the same with other neighboring countries that were part of the former Soviet Union. Remember Russia, we are no longer in the medieval era where conquest and slavery were all in the mind. Let these countries rule their own government.
Long Live the Nation UKRAINE! Victory for UKRAINE! Slava UKRAINI! 🇺🇦🇺🇦
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦
Why is this chick so peppy about the war? Is it fake? I saw a video where one of the Ukraine soldiers played a surrendering Russian, why not? They have the same un-uniforms, no emblems, never soiled, interchangeable.
Im from us but how do i join
Sharon… I think your skills are better needed in the kitchen not on the battlefield
The funny thing It is nobody talks about peace.
Russia talked about peace. Russia signed guarantees of respecting Ukrainian sovereignty. Then Russia invaded Crimea. Then Russia invaded the rest of Ukraine.
If Russia wanted peace, it could simply withdraw its troops and go home. It’s that easy.
Slava Ukrayini!
if the west wins we are all lost…
Can’t I just watch the freaking video without hearing your CNN BS
Show the video! Geez, it’s awesome.
Ukraine already lost.
shut up and let people view the video… blah blah i needs no explanation!
Why not just send trained pilots with the airplanes….. It seems really lame that you would have to train a Ukrainian soldier to fly an airplane when there are thousands of Pilot soldiers that are willing to fight for the world’s safety. From all corners of the Earth
I’ll join rn, 22 years old in USA no combat exp but know how to work a rifle and know how to shoot anything from handgun, shotgun, rifle etc
How bout the Ukrainian woman? Prolly going to nice countries and settling with some rich guys….
Better then the American ads. Emma and her 2 mothers
May Odin and Frey be with you.
