It’s the early morning of February 24th, 2022. In the border village of Dniprovske, Ukrainian 105th Border Detachment soldiers sleep in their barracks, unaware of the approaching storm. A missile from a drone strikes without warning, wounding six and marking the start of Russia's full-scale invasion. Despite the chaos, the border guards act swiftly, blowing up the mined bridge across the Dnipro River to slow the enemy's advance. Along the Chernihiv Region border, similar scenes unfold— Russian artillery, drones, and aviation hammer all the Ukrainian border checkpoints from both Russia and Belarus. And this is how the battle for Nothern Ukraine and its key fortress, Chernihiv, begins.

It’s the early morning of February 24th, 2022. The cold silence of the Ukrainian Sumy region is broken by the sound of hundreds of engines. The endless columns of Russian vehicles begin their seemingly unstoppable push across the Ukrainian border, following key highways. Their goal is not a diversion or capture of small villages but a strike right into the heart of Ukriane, its capital, Kyiv. And the most elite part of the Russian invasion force is planning to reach it right through the Sumy region.

When it comes to reviews of modern military equipment, people’s attention is often drawn to the more obvious — tanks, fighter jets, drones, or warships. While these indeed play crucial roles in contemporary warfare, today we want to spotlight something less flashy but perhaps not less significant. This piece of engineering has become the backbone of the Russian military, especially as strategic missteps have forced it into a war of attrition.
Prepare to meet the legend: the UAZ-452, or simply, “ Loaf”.

In this video, we explore the major events and turning points of the 2022 Ukraine-Russia war. From early Russian advancements to Ukrainian counterattacks, we analyze the key battles, strategic decisions, and shifts in momentum that defined the conflict throughout the year.
We look at the strategic importance of southern Ukraine, including critical cities and infrastructure that both sides fought to control. We examine the role of local Ukrainian defense forces and partisans, who played a crucial role in slowing down Russian advances and disrupting supply lines. The video also highlights how both Ukrainian and Russian military strategies evolved in response to changing battlefield conditions.
Join us as we break down the battles, military tactics, and the broader geopolitical implications of the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia in 2022.

In Part 1 of our dilogy about the early days of the Russian invasion of Southern Ukraine, we discussed how, in the first week of the heavy combat, Russians had managed to break through initial Ukrainian lines and capture the first regional center, Kherson. However, delaying actions of Ukrainian armed forces during the retreat allowed the formation of a new line of defense anchored on cities like Mykolaiv, Bashtanka, and Voznesensk, according to the plan of Major General Dmytro Marchenko, head of Mykolaiv defense. Moreover, in the Battle of Voznesensk, Ukrainians routed Russians, inflicting heavy losses on the adversary and putting an abrupt end to the unrestricted enemy advance. This victory is the first sign that Ukrainians start regaining initiative despite the initial catastrophic defeats that led to quite a complex situation on the Southern Front.

In 2023, the northern part of the Kharkiv region was one of the few Ukrainian eastern parts that saw almost no active combat. After the Russians retreated in Fall 2022 as a result of the Ukrainian Kharkiv Counteroffensive, the topic of one of our past videos, both sides used the northern border mostly to keep the troops rotated out of active combat for replenishment. However, the Russian desire to continue advancing in the most reinforced part of Ukraine, Donbas, in 2024 transformed into a more ambitious idea. To launch an additional attack in a place other than the area of the most recent success, the Donetsk region, for the sake of diversion. This place is the northern part of the Kharkiv region.
