How Russia Is Taking Zaporizhia — One Village at a Time

Zaporizhia Oblast shows what modern war really looks like when speed no longer matters and endurance decides everything. This front is not about sudden breakthroughs or dramatic headlines. It is about pressure, firepower, and permanent ground control — applied slowly, deliberately, and relentlessly.
In this video, I break down how Russian forces are expanding and consolidating territory in Zaporizhia, not through rapid offensives, but through layered combined strikes and methodical occupation. Glide bombs equipped with UMPK kits, MLRS barrages, artillery fire, and constant drone surveillance are used to exhaust Ukrainian defenses long before infantry moves in. By the time ground is taken, resistance has often already been worn down.
This analysis explains why Zaporizhia is strategically critical, how Russian forces apply positional and attritional warfare, and why small settlements matter more than large cities in this phase of the conflict. I also explore the psychological dimension of the fighting, including Russian claims of Ukrainian troop surrenders under intense pressure and the use of surrender leaflets as part of information and psychological warfare.
Another key focus of this video is why Ukrainian authorities continue to deny territorial losses, even when Russian troops claim physical control on the ground. This is not examined emotionally, but analytically — looking at morale, international perception, and the role of information management in modern warfare.
This is long-form, map-based military analysis, built around Russian military statements, battlefield logic, and observable patterns of control, not short clips or surface-level commentary. The goal is to understand how territory is taken, how it is held, and why this front matters for the future shape of the war.
