    This is the high level insights needed, was curious how Ukraine was pushing across. Seems to be Russian doctrine to launch a counter offensive in answer no matter how suicidal. Losing Naval units will cause issues elsewhere.

      Yeah I love this youtuber, always cuts through the news in such a concise way. I wish he covered more of the front each day but I believe he already spends 70hours a week for these 5min daily pieces.
