0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's do an update on what is happening in Ukraine. |
0:06.2 | Lots of cauldrons in Dombasa. A lot of cauldrons are forming in Dombas. |
0:13.0 | And it does look like Zelensky is more focused on Kursk and Harkov and the north of the front lines. |
0:24.2 | We are also getting some reports saying that the Ukraine military is starting to prepare |
0:31.9 | fortifications in Dnipro-Petrosk in that region, anticipating a Russian advance towards that major city. |
0:41.6 | Anyway, what are your thoughts on what is happening on the front lines? |
0:45.0 | This is exactly correct. |
0:46.2 | I think what we are now seeing, and we're seeing it across the whole of south-central Dombas |
0:52.5 | and indeed Zaporosia and Herson as well, is that Ukrainian resistance is ebbing away fast. |

1:49.0 | because they're not strong enough to defend themselves in open country. |
1:55.0 | And that is leading exactly to the outcome that you said. |
1:58.0 | A whole cluster of different cauldrons or encirclements |
2:02.6 | starting to appear in all sorts of places. So we have a major encirclement starting to develop |
2:10.6 | in southern Dombas, in an important town called Kouragovol. We're still at a fairly early stage with this, but it's starting to appear. |
2:20.7 | This is the area where the Russians recently captured Ugladar. They are advancing closer and |
2:27.8 | closer to Kouraqvo. They're perhaps two kilometers away in some places. There's apparently a significant number of Ukrainian troops. |
