That you ask, "What does he explain?"...tells me 2 things.
1. You didn't listen.
OR
2. You didn't understand it.

In the context of the Khershon withdrawl....he explains what that was. It wasn't the Russians being driven out and the Ukrainians retaking it.

In the overall context ..he explains that for 9 months, the Russians kept it as a Special Military Operation with heavy engagement restrictions.
Putin wanted a diplomatic settlement, and would not build his force beyond 150K men...even though he was against a force over twice as big, being supplied by the U.S. & NATO.

That he notes and fully explains what was done that was detrimental to Russia shows his neutral, impartial position.
Unlike the fully biased propaganda you all constantly put up and go all Fangirly over.

He explains Putin has now shifted to full war mode...building and waiting to carry out their typical devastating bombardments...and setting-up to strike with a full-scale war offensive when the conditions/timing is right.

He also notes the scant potential for a world changing nuclear exchange now...but that the future global economic implications caused by the U.S./NATO could trigger it in the future.

Listen again...you might catch it this time.

Forced to flee after the Russian invasion, these (Ukrainian) architects will help rebuild Ukraine from Toronto

Radewych and his team realized some of the work they were doing in North America was also applicable to facilitating reconstruction efforts in Ukraine.

Dubbed Speedstac, WZMH's solution, according to its website, is a prefab system consisting of precast concrete modules that can be assembled in stacks or in rows and inserted into apartment buildings to replace existing units.

Speedstac was initially created to help solve North America's housing crisis amid a labour shortage. But the technology could also replace portions of mid-rise and high-rise buildings damaged by fire and missile strikes without needing to demolish the buildings altogether.

Here is my summary of those 5 minutes of the video…

- Russians have massive firepower but not enough men
- they persisted even with the manpower shortage

- Ukrainians rightly mobilized for full scale war

- Russians early on saved sometimes by their “reputation”
- Russia not willing to commit more forces
- but Russia forced into reactive mode moving troops around

- First attacked with 4 armies but failed
- They were able to have a “clean break” from Kyiv

- same clean break did not happen in Kharkiv
- By then Ukraine understood Russia’s weakness
- Ukraine promoted the idea of a Kherson offensive
- Russia responded by moving troops to Kherson
- When they felt Kherson was stable they moved troops from Kharkiv to Donbas
- Ukrainians took Kharkiv

- Russians were sad and mad, so they mobilized more to stabilize the fronts
- New general decided to withdraw from Kherson

Ahhhh, yes...you viewed it through the biased Fangirly lens that you are unable to remove.

Those 5 minutes were the part about Kherson.
He noted that "it *gave the impression* the Russians had been *routed*", and were driven out...but that they were already moving from there, moving troops around...because Putin was still trying to keep it as a Special Military Operation and would not increase troop strength or allow their full typical engagement methods they are known for.

This also serves to illustrate that it is complete propaganda to claim "Putin Invaded Ukraine".
That was not at all what his intention was...the proof being his troop count and level of engagement for so long.
It was just a preemptive, defensive mission...but ended up full-scale war because of the West/NATO being unwilling to negotiate a peaceful agreement and even rejecting what was put together after the start. They even sent Boris Johnson to personally nix it.

Listen to the whole thing. Check out his many others on it.
Read his book.
This whole thing is not anything at all what you and the vast crowd of the others that are easily duped claim or think it is.

Hey, GldnRule, did you ever manage to come up with some sort of argument for the space station belonging to Russia?

Intention or not, he did invade. You can knock off that lie. Anyone with common sense can look at the reality and see what actually happened. Not what you would like to say happened.

The only way putin did not invade Ukraine would be if you changed the definition of the word invade.

He has. According to him it was a defensive maneuver and Russia was protecting itself.

This point keeps coming up, but if this true, I missed it. Could you provide links to any articles or reports discussing this?

Ahhhh, yes...further confirmation of your retentive, compulsive & derangement issues.
Best wishes resolving those problems...I will keep you in my best thoughts.
You are inordinately fixated on this relatively insignificant thing, only mentioned to illustrate Russia's technological aptitude. Why is that? Oh, wait...I noted why.

The Russians flew up the first module...they are responsible for the propulsion and that it is even flying...their section is exclusive, while the rest shared...they get majority lab time for transport...until Musk, they supplied all the transport since the U.S. was unable to sustain their Shuttle program...they were even worried that the Russians would strand some due to military policy differences.
Also...the common "Russian Space Station" vernacular & references, ever since MIR.

I hope this provides some peace & contentment for ya...since my thoughts about it has obviously been a major headtrip issue for you.
