Very emotional video (that was its idea), but
1. the catchphrase "war never changes" is historically very inaccurate;
2. the "reason" for the next war from this video - shortages of nearly every resource as a result of overconsumption - is neither the reality of the current world nor the reason for current wars.
Actually, resource shortages and problems are the effect of the war - not the other way around.
So, let's keep it where it belongs - a very emotional intro to a game.

True.. buuut it is said, and makes sense, that this is a war for resources. Ukraine is very rich in many natural resources that both russia & the USA/West have a profit interest in controlling.
russia has a greater interest in the area for strategic defence purposes, though. I get that.
But there are certainly a lot of $$$$$ worth of all kinds of natural resources in play here. USA doesn't tend to get involved in maintaining democracy/freedom unless it comes with $$$$ attached by being able to control an area worth exploiting. Otherrwise they'd be bringing their brand of freedom and democracy everywhere regardless of $ to be made.. and that's not the case. Then there are areas that maybe should be defended but the USA/others have no real chance of winning so they'd don't get involved - bye bye Hong Kong's way of government & life, hello Chinese overlords, for example.

Something weird is going on around Kherson, lots of conflicting information from both sides... Ukrainians claim they are doing something "requiring information silence", while Russians are giving plenty of conflicting information.
My guess is that Russians are trying to save their face when losing Kherson - they got orders to fight to the last soldier but it just does not make sense, so they're making a show for Putin and others on Kremlin who have big dreams and no idea about what is actually possible.
The Russian commander has indicated that they will be evacuating Kherson.My guess is that Russians are trying to save their face when losing Kherson - they got orders to fight to the last soldier but it just does not make sense, so they're making a show for Putin and others on Kremlin who have big dreams and no idea about what is actually possible.
The Ukrainians are concerned it may be a trap.
In any case, mines and small traps everywhere are to be expected.
The tactics of cutting out supply lines to force Russians to withdraw has previously worked around Kyiv and in Snake Island. It's slow but less risky than direct fights. Saves your own supplies and men better, especially against forces bigger than yours.
But it looks like little will remain of Kherson to liberate
Meh, we've rebuilt Warsaw after WWII, we'll rebuild Kherson and Mariupol.

If so...

Progress is good. Hopefully this isn't a trap or russia preparing to play even dirtier in the area.

https://liveuamap.com/en has updated area control - practically no Russian control West of Dnipro.
Stabilizing the frontline on a great river would free significant forces... both sides.

Then it boils down to quality, and the Ukrainians have that in spades.
