Thunder: The Fateful Call A Dangerous Wedge Between Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka MS 2025.05.19
By Military Summary
This video describes the military situation in Ukraine on the 19th of May 2025.
Here’s what others had to say:
@Princip666
The only thing that was decided during the phone call was continuation of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. But it’s already clear that negotiating with the Kiev regime is pointless and all will be decided on the ground.
@Lady.Aviator
If Ukraine wants peace so badly why are they receiving tanks from Australia ,amongst other countries too.
@StercoBoy
I expect absolutely nothing. Scott Ritter made a great analogy recently: It’s as if three people met to put a puzzle together, but they all brought pieces from different puzzles.
@timjones1583
Austrailia cannot send US abrams tanks without Trumps permission. So much for the great peacemaker.
@iraelliott8936
With the NATO insistence of a cease fire and the speed of movement Russian forces have had as of late I wonder if Ukraine’s military is on the verge of complete collapse?
@nyerling5723
This conflict will never be taken serious by the EU and Zelensky until Russia pushes Ukraine/Nato completely out of the whole Donbas, than continue their March Westward towards Kiev and to knock on the doors of Odessa.
@BanzLanda86
Pokrovsk is about to fall soon and other areas on the eastern front. It’s rich for Europeans and Ukrainians are saying Putin will make Trump look like a loser. And sanctions are now futile. What are new sanctions going achieve what the others didn’t.
@timber750
RF will take Odessa and Nikoaevka as well as Kharkov, in addition to the “five basic” oblasts already constitutionally incorporated into the RF.
@GreatPolishWingedHussars
Russian economic growth in 2024 was 4.1%! German economic growth in 2024 was 0.1%! France 1,1! UK 1,08!
@frankchapeau
I’ve noticed your English has improved noticeably since the beginning of SMO. You’re doing great. Here is a tip for you my dear friend. Two times less = HALF. Three times less = ONE THIRD.
@your_boi_junior4531
(Trump and Putin talk more than 2 hours, but there’s no Russia-Ukraine ceasefire) perfect timing, 2hrs ago published, knew it wouldn’t work, no more defense line = free roam through open fields knowing there is no more line to face but scattered defensive artillery position and troops! this is a massive breakthrough compared to all the break through.
@NDR-hn3ue
Dima just doesn’t understand Putin and Trump cannot make a “final decision” about Ukraine via a phone call there isn’t even a framework on the composition of delegations to attend talks
@bagel080
The call was a 2 hour history lesson by Putin.
Then at the end of the lesson, Putin told Trump he needs to pay $20 or $6.99 subscription to the ongoing history lesson.
Trump got mad and said, “I’m not paying that! I don’t even pay taxes!!” And he hung up.
@bjorntorlarsson
I see a pattern. Whenever there is a line of stronghold of dugouts made by the Ukrainians, them the Russians will advance along it from the flank. While at the same time creating cauldrons. Because the Ukrainians build them that conveniently. Kinda face them in the wrong direction, so to say. Very skillfully consistently!
@timothyshaneschaefer8289
Europe will never let Trump make a.cease fire. Trump and we Americans will bow out and leave it to Europe and Russia. There will be nothing left of Ukraine and rightfully so.
@ericbasciano545
For once I think Dima’s speculations on Russian war plans are very convincing. The idea that the Russians are building a salient to cut off Pokrovsk from the north east makes a lot of sense based on their present advances.
@bobjones-bt9bh
RF is now hitting via FPV at 40km. They’re completely changing the scope of capability of battlefield isolation. They can now effectively operationally encircle from a vast distance…far beyond anything previously seen in warfare.
If RF does not already have 1000s of these drones, they will in a month. It will be impossible for the AFU to move in the near future and this umbrella will just continue to walk forward.
