Ukr Offensive Stuck, Soldiers Tell MSM Heavy Losses, Shoigu: Ukr Lost 20K troops July, Niger Crisis (Alexander Mercouris)

The clip opens with an acknowledgement of journalist Gonzalo Lira's predicament in Ukraine, where we are all hoping he crossed the border into Hungary. The video otherwise deals with the attrition nature of the war. Ukrainian accounts in the press report the weight of Russian firepower. Some units with hundreds of men have been reduced to only a handful of soldiers. They might be making small advances but they are taking huge losses, that cannot be sustained.   

The end of the video deals with the situation in Africa, where other smaller countries in the region are prepared to support the coup. Deals can still be made to avoid any more violence, particularly coming from France, the USA or neighbouring Nigeria.
