Yes, we know.

The posting trends - i.e., lack thereof - of our resident zeeper trolls dictated that very fact. /s

Maybe if Z would do a TV show featuring him playing the piano with his penis? THAT would most likely make “victory” sooner for the Ukrainians.

The linked YouTube video is to a content creator in the United States, and "Joined Aug 11, 2025." Three and a half months old.

What's with all these YouTube channels getting posted to FR forums?

A look to the pro-any-side video channels shows, for the most part, filling out templates as suggested by Google/YouTube, and titling them to encourage clicks.

Putin's winning! Subscribe! Click! Donate! Zelensky's winning. Subscribe! Click! Donate! This one's brand new, so there's no "merch store" yet. Patience.....

As to Wolff, he is an open Marxist academic. So not exactly a war correspondent.

Zelensky Lied? Russia Captures Pokrovsk, Thousands of Kyiv Soldiers Trapped

Russians have been assaulting Pokrovsk for a year, resulting in an estimated 120,000 casualties, trying to take a ruined town that used to have a population of 60,000.

As to the "encirclement" even Russian milbloggers are denouncing reports of Pokrovsk "encirclement"

Russian warbloggers are angrily denouncing General Valery Gerasimov for blatantly lying to President Vladimir Putin about Russia's military progress in Ukraine during a televised briefing. They note that the incident highlights the persistent problem of false reporting.

Yesterday's Putin-Gerasimov briefing demonstrated that this was not just for show, but was being reported directly to 'the Supreme' himself. Gerasimov claimed that Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad were encircled, with 31 Ukrainian battalions surrounded by Russian forces.

He also claimed that Russia had completed the encirclement of Kupiansk, with another 18 Ukrainian battalions trapped there, and boasted that more than 70% of Vovchansk was under Russian control.

Russian warbloggers have joined Ukrainian and independent commentators in rejecting these claims. 'Romanov Light' notes tersely: "Once again, the information reported does not correspond to reality on the ground."

'Tactical Medical Courses' is sarcastic: "I wonder, if I say that Gerasimov is lying about the encirclement of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, will that be considered discrediting the Russian Armed Forces? Or are Gerasimov's words discrediting the Russian Armed Forces?"

'Zimovsky' is even more sarcastic: "10,500 Banderites in a cauldron —that's thousands of prisoners!

When will they be marched through Moscow?"

'Military Informant' highlights multiple independent maps of the situation at Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, and wonders if "Enemies have once again penetrated Comrade Gerasimov's encirclement."

"Of course, at this point, there are simply no encirclements of 6-7 brigades (if we consider only the combat battalions) . The existing corridor between the Russian Armed Forces groups in the west and north of Pokrovsk is several kilometers long.

"Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that a multi-thousand-strong Ukrainian Armed Forces group is still entrenched within the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration—the current reality is that fighting is conducted by small infantry groups, both defensively and offensively.

"This implies that the relatively small group is easily supplied through the current corridor by ground and air drones, as it does not require large amounts of supplies.

"Even if a local encirclement does occur somewhere, experience shows that the enemy will be able to fight for a long time in a cut-off state, fully equipped with drones.

Some commentators suggest that Gerasimov is deliberately blurring the difference between encirclement and fire control to bamboozle Putin, who has never served in the military and may not understand the difference.

---- "x.com/ChrisO_wiki"

Thanks for that. The graphic pictured on his X channel is interesting, as you cite this X-user's post from Oct 27, 2025, one of four times recently you've used his as a source. But from ten years ago....

---- "And that's what it's all about. 💰💵🤑"

We agree. The posted YouTube is not news, but opinion. And working towards establishing a "channel."

In a similar way, the X channel posted in a comment shows itself, in an interesting manner -- seeking donations.

One learns that this ChrisO-wiki likes "hot drinks," and interestingly his "tip jar" is denominated in British pounds. Not USD, not Euros and not hryvnia. He has "24 supporters."

Blogging on history and the Russia-Ukraine war. Consuming innumerable hot drinks along the way!

ChrisO-wiki also appears on Bluesky....

chriso-wiki.bsky.social

And Masodon....

mastodon.social

And Telegram....

ChrisO_wiki

He and so many others offer some fans opinions, to reinforce a fan's bias with "confirmation bias" messaging.

This was so on another thread where an American YouTuber was proven to call our nation "a fascist state." And trash-talked President Trump. But this was excused by a Freeper you know by reputation as "frustration" with American politics about supporting Ukraine.

This thread has a quasi-Russian supporter which another Freeper chose to "answer" with a quasi-Ukraine message. Yeah team. And always, behind the scenes, "support my work."

"...what it’s all about. 💰💵🤑??"

Ukraine been losing for a long time.

Ukraine hasn't launched any kind of offensive for the entire year. It can only lose more lives and territory by continuing the war.

Is that why Russia's strategic bomber fleet is 25% smaller than it used to be, and the Russian Black Sea Fleet is no longer based in Crimea?

LOL, you fell for some faked AI propaganda channel.

Look at the other videos from the same source...

"Trump Panics! Russia, China, and Iran Unite in Full Force to Defend Venezuela Against U.S. Threats"

"Trump Panics as Iran Readies Nuclear Missiles, Warns U.S. Over Israel–Gaza War"

Funny, now take a look at the originally posted video channel. Fake content, and ridiculous claims.

What territory has Ukraine gained back on the battlefield in 2025?

Feel free to give an example.
