This felt so unreal for a moment I thought I watch 90s war documentary only being reminded that this happening at this very moment in time

I just wanted to leave a bit of feedback for the channel: When you show a regional map you also show a "minimap" in the lower left hand corner that's the same region except zoomed out, and in that minimap you place a green trapezoidal outline that shows where the main zoomed-in map is. This _really_ helps with viewer situational awareness, letting us know at a glance where we're looking and what area of Ukraine you're talking about. Well done; please continue this practice, it really helps.

These presentations are fabulous. I've been following the day-to-day of fighting since the beginning but the day to day coverage is thick with the fog of war. These slightly delayed retrospectives are excellent for cutting through that fog

These updates are really impressively comprehensive, covering not just battles and ground taken, but foreign aid, diplomacy, and other aspects of the overall picture. I really appreciate that, it's very helpful to have so much information in one place. As a side note, I've been watching a ton of your older videos lately, particularly the Ancient Civilizations playlist. I've been subscribed and watching intermittently for a while, but I'm kind of just realizing what a solid history channel you guys have here. Really top quality, better than most professional TV documentaries, and I'm learning a ton. Keep it up!

You're using old names of cities. There's no Dnipropetrovsk or Kirovograd, but Dnipro and Kropyvnytskyi respectively. The change took place in 2016

Hey, love your videos, they are really informative. If I may, I have a thought based on a small detail I've noticed over several of these videos now. At the end of the video when you start counting losses, the music changes to a more somber melody. However, it only does so once you start counting materiell losses, after the estimated death toll. This detail is jarring to me every time. Although obviously intended, it makes the loss of machines seem more sad than the loss of lives. Like I say, I love these videos and watch them every time, this is just a minor thing I wanted to point out.
