I dont believe that sanctions alone are nearly enough. Pour in that sweet military aid.
There is no more gear to send.. US will not go full out in ukraine against russia.
It won't attack China either.
@@andreicorban316 Being passive doesn't help. The US can produce more. If Russia and China are gearing their economies towards war, we can't be left blind-sided. If Russia gets Ukraine, it will go for Moldova since it already owns an enclave there.

According to Putin, the will of Putin is more important than the will of the people. I look forward to reading Putin's obituary. Preferably soon.
Putin is right. Unfortunately.
Maybe they will stuff him like Lenin.....

@@Patendyck76 no Putin and his worshipers are misguided and cruel
@@Patendyck76 Agreed, My thoughts on Putler entirely!
That British/South African soldier today on YT was heart breaking and shameful to watch. The West has acted with pathetic weakness when tested, drip feeding ammunition and weapons to Ukraine; self obsessed with it's own petty internal squabbling while Ukraine is tortured.
The West is dragging it out in the hope that it exhausts Russias military.
This wouldn’t be an issue normally. However, it’s election year 2024 and Soviet Puppets are blocking as much as they can so that Russia wins.
Unacceptable.
It’s shameful. How is it that Ukraine does not have F16s, long range missiles and loads more tanks by now. It’s infuriating.
@@longandshort6639f-16s need special long runways that need to be flawlessly clean because its air intake runs below the nose…… Ukraines runways are designed for Migs that have a flap that closes when taking off to protect the engines from war detritus that was expected in a major Cold War conflict ……. tanks aren’t really produced in west anymore because we’ve been focused on anti-insurgent warfare…….. long range missiles easily brings about WW3 (be careful what you wish for - London is a short hop for a long range missile)
@@richardwilson57 Ukraine has been hitting targets in Russia for awhile now. Long range missiles won't suddenly start WW3
It’s a pity that Britain ruined itself by admitting so much Russian money and tge oligarchs who are a front for Putin.
so long as we keep the money, i reckon no one will complain
Agreed. we have 5bn of Putins money though in europe, plus over 2bn from Chelsea sale.. so not all bad

why? Listen to Scott Ritter..
Listening to security services involved in trafficking children and drugs is a bad idea.
I have been writing our congressman and a lot of people I know have. Our congress is a train wreck. They fight over everything now. Each side has to do the complete opposite of the other with 0 compromises. I still think they will pass funding but it is painfully slow. I hope Europe can close those gaps. It is good too see countries stepping up. We will get there. I am proud of the fight Ukrainians are mounting.
From a Brit in Europe, thanks for taking the time and making the effort to write to your congressman. So many of us have been doing the same sort of thing here in Europe. We all need to step it up a notch (or two).
I just want to add that so many Europeans really appreciate what decent folk like you are doing. Hopefully congress will stop dithering and come through sooner rather than later. Best regards and thanks again. 👍
Ive written my MP Manchester UK. He supports but if US doesnt step up, Europe got to fill gap. Will they/we? And how long m8ght that take while they dither about?
Maybe we wont be so dependent on US if they dont provide and they will be weaker force in the world.
I have too. I’m so ashamed at our government.
@@wendyandrew3707 It's not dithering. It is a huge fight against Trumpism/Fascism.
Let’s get serious with sanctions. That means the UK sanction’s Unilever.
Don't you get it? Sanctions do not work on Russia nw, simply because during the last 24 years Putin has made that country self-sufficient. They have the best scientists and the best military in the world, they are one of the top (5th, to be precise) economy in the world and Number ONE exporter of grains in the world. It's funny to see how some people still believe in our lying anti-Russian Western msm propaganda. So silly.
One thing I know is that the economy was overhauled to support Putler's war effort in Ukraine. This means a lot of manufacturing, but little consumption. If only the US House of Representatives will give Ukraine the needed money.
our Economy? We are in recession, Russia isn't ;)
@@DeepDeepest when you have no understanding of a topic best to research. . Real GDP contracted by -2.1% in 2023 in Russia. you must be a follower of Carlton. tHE West IS NOT in a recession
@@DeepDeepest You might want to talk to an actual Russian about that. See Inside Russia for more info about the economy in Russia.
And if only Ukrainian officials would stop lining their own pockets. I want Ukraine to win, but it's hard to take pleas for help when aid gets stolen.
@@daniel_moretti actually there are officials who are constantly monitoring financial/military expenditures. It appears that you are a victim of ssian misinformation. The russians are good at it and the republicans are getting better with phony conspiracy

Thanks James & Chip. Good interview.
Putin as ruthless as Stalin? Really? No serious person would ever say such a ridiculous thing, especially not in public. Very revealing, unfortunately.

Well spoken lets step up the support for Ukraine now.
South Europe need to wake up and understand we need the support from the whole Europe.
whole
Very true, however some of the southern European countries are relatively poor. Countries including Greece, Albania, Italy, Spain probably don’t have the ability to provide more support. Buying in arms to send to Ukrainian would probably be beyond their financial abilities. They aren’t wealthy unlike Denmark, sadly.
@@Ben-jq5ooItaly's GDP is larger than Russia's quit thinking that Russia is more than a large gas station
Can I trust that the allies will not let Ukraine lose? It looks doubtful at the moment. I need to hear some strong support and action!!!
No, you cannot. Althoug it depends on what lose means. Zelensky's strategic aims have never been embraced by the US. They are mainly concerned with avoiding a larger war and likely view forcibly removing them from Crimea as too high risk.
Who are these allies? Ukraine was never part of alliance or treaty or even implicitly the west.
Fifty nations are behind Ukraine hence Russia has lost, it just taking to long due to the dithering of the free world and the lack of Churchill type leaders with a spine. Russia is nothing compared to the free World and Putin knows it .
actions speak much louder than words.... Ukriane needs action, words are a waste of time.
The internet really has revealed just how open to manipulation the average person is.

What a bizarre comment.
the magic phrase "Europe needs to step up". Unlike WW1/WW2, I don't think colonies and former colonies are going to take the heat off. Don't let this be a replay of European avoidance as in the past. It never ends well.
@@Dude0000 A vote for trump is a vote for Putin
Brilliant. I thought we should at least give Ukraine another 28 Challenger 2s, but the idea to give them all is so much better. From the moment it was decided to gift equipment to Ukraine we should have been gearing up tank production. The war has been going on for two years and in some respects we're still on the start line, listening for a gun that's already gone off. Political will has sometimes been strong, but often it is like wet straw.
you have to train them first...There is no time for that 😉UK can't make any more tanks. Where will you get Titanium and Steel? Have you thought about that?
Most countries in the world would sell the UK those metals, That's a very odd remark you made, if it came to the crunch our allies would supply us with whatever we needed.@@DeepDeepest
@@DaveTheProducer1978 can you provide me with some information on where UK gets all of those metals? It's not a very odd remark, it's the reality...How many tanks UK made in the past 2 years of Russian invasion? How many of anything?

I have mentioned this before and so have others. Not sure why they can't get it right. Perhaps they are broadcasting from a back office in the Kremlin! They are better at talking than listening or being listened to.
The Biggest threat in Adivka wasn't so much the greater troop number of the russians it was the constant use of massive 1000 to 1500kg gliding bombs ! Most of the defensive structures were smashed to the ground !
they all talk about Russians losing troops like 10 times more than Ukrainians, but Russians don't even have mobilization where Ukrainians are dragged from the streets to fight in the front line...
It could have been both.
You clearly didn't listen very well. That was covered when Chip referred to the close air support the orcs had. It's taken as read that such aerial support means dropping munitions of various descriptions, so there's your answer.
You are so right.
That was good, thank you.
It is always easier to do the wrong thing instead of the right one.

Very true. How should this affect western aid to Ukraine?
Give it up? Sit back and watch Ukraine get ethically cleansed?
Nato countries need to give Ukraine the armament that were promised last year and stop posturing with promises.
No planes, only a quarter of tanks and not enough ammunition, how on earth they are still in the defence of there County.
They are talking about very expensive weapons systems while they are running very low on the cheapest-to-manufacture 155mm shells.
Isn't that interesting though?
Very good!

Yawn
Time's Radio, thank you for existing. From a U.S. listener.
That's something I've always wondered, why not just give all the Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine. Then instead of cobbling together some new and old bits to make the Challenger 3, we could just buy some shiny new tanks like those nice Korean K2s. They could be made in the UK under licence, much like the Poles are doing with their K2 purchase.
Not even 1 did appear on the battle field!!!

I'd be curious to go back the past 2 years and see how many times the Times had said his regime is at risk or over. I'm getting pretty desensitized
Don't forget this war was expected to last a week. Here we are 2 years later.......
One of the myths of this war is that the Russians thought they would win in a week . The myth that Russia would take Kiev in 3 days came about because US General Milley said he thought it would take that long, and he was wrong. The Russians have never given out any timetables or plans. The only thing the Russians have said is they plan for the war to last until 2025.

Thank you General! I love to hear you speak. You are so insightful. If only you and General Hodges were in charge of the Ukrainian Army and had all the tools necessary to defeat the Russians. This war would be terminated thus year, and many lives could be spared. Thank you General. Thank you Times Radio!
Tremendous arguments in favour of just getting on and supporting Ukraine .
Great report, great expert!
The EU talks a good game, but they aren't sending what they say they're gong to send. Agreements are useless when only a portion, which frequenly is less than 50% , of what was promised is actually delivered.
much love, PGH PA
Because all the previous sanctions worked so well, didn't they?
They are working pretty well and nothing is perfect. They can always be tightened where things are found to be slipping through the cracks as demonstrated by the announcement the USA made today.
Sanctions are slowly and the first years it didnt affect Russia at all.
But from year 2 and now year 3 it will Affect Russia.
@@martinogold Russian oil and gas is still being sold to Europe (for more expensive prices) via 3rd party countries, and Russia is able to easily import goods from Europe via same 3rd party countries. Russia is economically stable. The existing sanctions are counter productive.

There's definitely "magic" weapons. Ones that change the tide of a battle upon their first deployments. One's without answer, that alter warfare. The sword. The gun. The mortar, The ship, the plane, chemical and nuclear at their time where game changers that leaped their opposition by decades eliminating modern tactics.
and these new high tech (for their time) took decades to develop...... Has Ukraine got decades? I'd give them a few months at best
there probably ARE magic weapons but USA is saving them for the Taiwan/China conflict without revealing their hand. Drones have pretty much changed warfare in the last 2 years

Mr. Chapman mentioned that the support for Ukraine is quite cheap, with which I agree, and mentions 0.02% of GDP per year - that number is rather inaccurate, even for the UK. According to Ukraine Support Tracker the contributions from different countries until now is shown below, this includes allocated money which means it is over more than two years, but still its never going to be 0.02% of GDP.
1. Estonia 4.09%
2. Denmark 3.06%
3. Lithuania 2.04%
4. Norway 1.72%
5. Latvia 1.67%
6. Netherlands 1.45%
7. Slovakia 1.43%
8. Poland 1.32%
9. Finland 1.29%
10. Germany 1.06%
...
20. Hungary 0.69%
...
22. France 0.65% (though ifw Kiel does say the magnitude of French contributions is uncertain)
...
26. UK 0.55%
...
33. US 0.32%
The US would have to increase its support by 10 times to reach the top two.
By the way, two of the top 4 supporters as proportion of GDP (Denmark and Norway) have never been Russian (or Soviet) vassal states.

Hi Russian shill/Bot How R U today ? Please explain your response with some clarity , if possible.
Yeah crazy how incorrect this is. Sanctions have only hurt the west. My gas bill just came in, at 255 for 5 weeks when I did a meter reading. Not including electric I'm, not sure what that will be but it's was 445 the last quarter. Russia is doing fine. It's killed off its do nothing and criminal population on the front while draining Ukraine of men. Ukraine doesn't have enough men left in country to mount anything.

Reduced to "war is peace." Can you hear yourselves?
Heard this all before
Russia since 8 March 1917 when the revolution started has committed so many crimes against humanity, only now the world can step up and take a opportunity for a better world in the future.
Remember - Zelenski got a very warm welcome in Washington in 2022 - but last year he got the 'brush off' from this dependable ally. Now, there are enough objectors in Congress to stop the President's aid to Ukraine!! Putin was once a colonel in the KGB - that means that he can now use these operators for his own purpose. Putin is VERY RICH (from all his theft) and politicians are VERY CHEAP - do I have to spell it out?
Putins KGB career amounted to being an office boy behind a desk in E. Berlin- a nobody. The stories about Putin, the brilliant Soviet James Bond and exceptionally capable spymaster tasked with running the most important and dangerous operations during the Cold War, are all lies. And the only American politician dumb enough to try to get away with taking a large bribe from Moscow, was Biden when he took that $500k from the mayor, but I doubt they would even approach him with an offer today. Biden has refused to properly supply Ukraine militarily for 2 years, slowly drip feeding and supplying Ukraine in a way that allows them to be only strong enough to survive, but not win or even cause serious damage. Unless Biden finally starts supplying Ukraine with what it needs to actually win, theres no reason for the US to waste more resources and tax money just to prolong the inevitable.
Yeh, they look like they're suffering from sanctions.

Just here for me daily dose of 'Russia is falling apart'. I honestly wouldn't know how insignificant Russia is without you, Times radio. I just wonder why is Ukraine still struggling despite the huge western/NATO support and volunteers in Ukraine against a very crippled singular entity like Russia. It's 70+ countries against 1.
Read more and you can stop wondering. I am a Biden supporter but his fear of extending the war into Russia has prevented giving Ukraine what they need when they need it. In my mind, we, the USA, have prolonged the war and the suffering. Had we supplied jets in the beginning, the war would probably be over.
Sound quality not up to usual standard!
Hope you are right.Most seem to say sanctions have made little difference. Russia finding ways of exporting huge amounts of oil (secretive transfers at sea)......British companies parts finding their way into Russian rockets via Kazakhstan or similar...
