Ramstein Air Base: Defense leaders from around the world discuss support for Ukraine | DW News

- Опубликовано: 18 мар 2024
- Ukraine is preparing for renewed Russian assaults along its frontline. That's according to a report from the UK's defense ministry.
Fortifications likely include anti-tank obstacles, trenches and minefields. The report says Ukraine's stalled counter offensive last year has forced its military onto a more defensive footing. Kupiansk - in the Kharkiv region - was occupied in the first days of the full-scale invasion. But it was recaptured by Ukrainian forces after almost six months. DW visited the town to see how residents are preparing for the threat of a renewed Russian invasion.
For more on this, we talk to Frank Ledwidge. He is a former military officer and a senior lecturer in war studies at Portsmouth University in the UK.
And we talk to DW's Eastern Europe editor, Roman Goncharenko.

Empty promises are cheap.
Exactly! The empty promises the West made to Putin in the Minsk Accords. Why did they lie? Why did they want this proxy war so much?

Letting russia invade Europe is not cheap.
Not one more cent to Ukraine
If Ukraine lost the war, USA would lose leadership, lose ally of EU and NATO, lose face and pants 🩳, all Western countries would lose face and nerve 😢

I remember this 'analyst' saying how Ukraine was winning last summer and how victory was near! lol And he is still employed by DW?! 😂
If he can still lie, he's still valuable for DW.
The war is already won, it’s just not over yet.
you seem to be misremembering things. i dont ever recall analysts sayng that ukraine would just "win" in short succession
could you provide a source for your claim? i'm interested

Even though the US isn't providing as much artillery shells right now as they did before, luckily Czechia came with an international initiative to buy shells for Ukraine. That would amount to multiple months of shells, and is expected to be delivered to Ukraine somewhere around the end of march. But in the meantime, especially Europe needs to step it up. We can do so much more than we are doing right now...
They can place orders for the shells, but if the ability to produce doesn't exist, then it doesn't exist. It's easy to say you're going to do something in the future, but I don't think they can live up to their promises.
@@sarahbrown5073well they are building new ammo factories and expanding the existing ones.
Germany and Sweden alone to produce 20-30.000 more shells a month during this spring
@@flemminghansen6500 building factories takes time. "Going to produce" is easy to say. What do they actually produce, monthly, right now? According to a recent article in CNN, Russia is currently producing 250,000 per month.
What prevents the Czech Republic from buying these shells at its own expense and donating them to Ukraine? Or do the cunning Czechs just want to sell the remains of old garbage from their warehouses to EU officials and just make money?
@@sarahbrown5073 the factories are there. Production is +20-30.000 is during mars/april
According to Malcolm Nance an US ex veteran who fought in a Legion in Ukraine, the US is holding out. He says the US has sent 500 Bradley IFVs to Morocco and have a huge number of MRLS sitting around doing nothing but being repainted.
It is obvious that many countries will now have to rethink their defence options and change ingrained and outdated ideas.

@Spearca lol. Half of those are little islands. It's basically the US and western Europe .
@@diegoflores9237 Iceland, Malta, and Cyprus are the only small island countries in the group. Almost all of Europe, east and west, is involved. Beyond that, Australia, Japan, and South Korea are pretty significant powers. Kenya, Tunisia, and Liberia were there. (Nine additional Asian, African, or South American countries are "partners" to the group, but maybe not present for this meeting.)
@Spearca so Russia, China, Brazil, India, mexico South africa with a combined population of 3.2 billion weren't there. And the vast majority of countries weren't there
"As long as it takes"
Leaders around the world? Or leaders from some western countries only! Please be precise on the title.
95 % of the first world countries support Ukraine .
Russia has 3rd world Iran and North Korea . China is on the fence playing neutral .
Japan, New Zealand & Australia (to name a few) have supported Ukraine in some way over the last 2 years. So yes, around the world.

In reality, Ukraine is not in a position to recapture even one of the lost territories, unless it still loses most of its infrastructure and military forces.
lack of ammunition

Must be hard to develop a future strategy when one is so dependent on others.
Yeah, it was really hard for Putin to buy ammo abroad.
Why us Ukraines failed Counteroffensive referred to as Stalled? That's misrepresentation of facs and reporting.
now the ukiranian soldiers try to copy from Russian to make the front line stable but in my onion they can not fight with Russian soldiers they are very brave and with excellent moral

Stalled?

Forescast: A lot of pain!
And if Ukraine will not fight and russians will come to NATO countries what will be ? Just interesting...
Putin is to scared from nato.
The Boris Johnson idea in 2022 was clear and in perspective typical colonial British : To the last Ukrainian . no negotiations whatever happens. If Ukr and Greeny followed that it was their fault not ours.
So.
In a short period of time we've come from preemptive war to preemptive world war.
Top marks.
Our strategy is to ask more money... I mean do spring offensive followed by summer offensive so we need more.....money😗
Two years in and we're just now having this conversation?
Defence leaders from around the world?😂😂 that means Russian defense leader is there too
That's not how English works.
@@Spearca which English? At least I try to speak and write it. Yet you can't say a word in my language🤔 😊
@@aleks3906 Any English. "Around the world" does not mean _every single country,_ it means representation from several different continents and regions.
@Spearca I got your point, and thanks for trying to clarify, though I still don't agree with the description of the event. Let them simply put it: leaders from Nato countries, which don't even account for 2/4 of the world.
Wow! $300 million lasts only one week! How can anyone keep up with that? We used to make out own stuff in the World Wars, as far as I know. But what if you have been invaded? What did Poland do, or Czechoslovakia etc?
You seemed to love to talk about Kupiyansk but not Zaporizhya counter offensive its almost like "we dont talk about Zaproizhia counter offensive.
Why talk about it? We know it failed and even Ukraine admitted it. What else do you want to hear about it?
Stalled counter offensive===failed counter offensive...just admit it😂
You mean like the Russian special military operation? I forgot was it to be completed in 4 days or 10 days?
Just send the troops in . Can’t keep doing this for another two years
And hes so certain of the new ukrainian defense lines but fails to recognize the last defense line took 8 years to construct and they couldnt withstand the fab1500 glide bombs.
you seem to know more than this military specialist. have you sent your CV to the pentagon yet?
@@vitoralves422 i work for a different department then defense.
save your energy please, western leaders…start seriously thinking of negotiation and diplomacy instead of waiting for more territory to lose to Russia. the reality is crucial but reality is the reality…
Man the media......he did not say Russia will not stop at Ukraine........
Russia also also said they didnt want to invade in jan 2022. Russia said they didnt kill the russian spy in the UK. They said they didnt kill Alexey Navalny
but anyone with 2 eyes can see it. thats their point
No worries, Borris Johnson has Ukraine's back.
DW is either hit or miss with their journalism. This one is a huge miss.
please elaborate
security of US depends on ukraine lmao
The best joke of the year.😂
US security depends on Ukraine, Iraq, Libya, Taiwan, etcetcetc, therefore more than 800 USmilitarybases all over the world! Long live the US military industrial complex ! (sarcasm)
Seems to me the world is not round any more...
And the answer to the title question is something other than 'surrender'?
right AUSTIN...what are you sending us candy to kupiansk?
Zelensky admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April?
Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time
Russia knows the terms for negotiatios and they don´t want to. If i take your house would you be ready to negotiate after i moved in.
Ukraine held many peace talks with Russia early in the war. Russia did not accept any peace offering that invelved ukraine keeping their own territory. so obviously they didnt take any peace deal
if someone breaks into your house would you let them live on one of the rooms?
Just like in Vietnam , Afghanistan, .....
The U$ again doesn’t flush the toilet after using the bathroom.

But EU already sending their soldiers into front meatgrinder. There is open corridor for mercenaries of any kind.
The EU is not sending soldiers
They are freedom fighters assisting in a country’s self-defence.
@@Coyannn Soldiers of fortune is still soldiers. The difference is only in contracts signature.
Eu leaders are just bunch of puppets to the United States
@@Hovardov The difference is in weapons, numbers, training and operations. Stop talking non-sense. Have you seen mercenary fighter jet pilots , or mercenary atomic submarine commanders ?
Ive been trying to figure out the ukrainian strategy going on 3 years now but they dont really seem to have one lol
seems like Washington were counting on the Russian economy imploding but Putin took steps over the years to decouple from Western systems and now the Russian economy is doing remarkably well all things considered- now their strategy is hopes and prayers, and money, and weapons, it's all over - Russia can choose to dig in now if they want to or keep pressing forward
Should have stayed neutral
You’re a very confused individual. That or indoctrinated by the Kremlin. All ex soviet and Warsaw Pact countries have moved westward for the same 2 reasons. A more prosperous life outside the oppressive sphere of influence of the Kremlin and SECURITY FROM RUSSIA. Let that last one sink in. Apart from Belarus, which putin only held onto via employing his military to put down the population, the Putin has found nobody willing to rebuild the USSR he longs for so much.
Now ask yourself. Does Ukraine hold the right to govern itself. Makes decisions for itself? Or it’s place in this world to be a Kremlin puppet?
Hint: there is only one correct and moral answer to this. You’re advocating the contrary. This is embarrassing for you.
Cheers 👍

Where are the aircraft?? We drip feed support and then expect huge results. Our support doesnt even come close to what is needed
Did you not listen? The first analyst admitted the problem is manpower. They're trying to mobilize half a million men. How long will they train? How can you send poorly trained civilians, who don't want to fight, into battle? It seems that most of those commenting didn't actually listen to the information provided.
Russia is not Serbia; your air support would rapidly go down. Pray for a peace agreement instead.
they already had the best support they could ever have last yr hence they had the counter offensive, yet it failed. I could only assume they could no longer do an offensive later on and more on defense hoping for the best for what an otherwise is an attritional warfare.
If Ukraine doesn't have weapons then it should enter peace negotiations with Russia. If I don't have money then I should get a job and not beg my family for money. You see how that works? We have mo obligation to give Ukraine or any other country anything

What strategy of Ukraine are you talking about when it is governed by NATO? Then write like this: "NATO Strategy in Ukraine.". It will be fair.
Ukraine's future strategy
1. Blame US and West for the surrender
2. Recognising Russia's taken areas.
3. Ouster of Zelensky

Imagine what would have happened if, in the 1930s, powers would have jumped into action the moment Czechoslovakia was invaded - correct, a lot, and I mean a _lot_ of misery could have been avoided. Same is true for Putin now in the 2020s. What was that? If you don't learn from history, you have to repeat it?
It's not the 1930s. Western nations have built their economy around services and finance. We've hollowed out our industrial base to near non existence.
Too many hedge fund managers, not enough steel workers. It's not the 1930s anymore.
Hold on for dear life until someone gives them weapons that can actually win the war. Ukraine is dying by a million paper cuts. It hurts to watch and see everyone just standing by saying i wish Ukraine stayed a sovereign and free state.
You mention everything you want to provide. That is your problem? What kind of military strategy is that? The people of Ukraine need this war to be end as soon as possible. Send capabilities without any word,

“The fighting is being done by the Ukrainians [more than 500 thousand Ukrainian soldiers lost their precious Lives in a Proxy war Against Russia on Behalf of US, EU, and Nato], they are the people who are being killed.

Vladimir Putin is, by far, the smartest and most well prepared statesman of our days!
The most successful operation for Ukraine was kharkiv? 😂 Brilliant stuff. They chased a small contingent of relatively light forces out of a large city, which Russia could easily have flattened like Mariupol, only kharkiv could not be evacuated into Russia, like was done before, it would be a disaster for civilians..
Kharkiv is the second largest city in Ukraine. Yes, fighting there would be a disaster for civilians....hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Ukraine does not have any future strategy. Every decision and strategy is decided and dictated by the US, with the EU also taking orders from Washington to supplement the war effort. The US calls the short in Ukraine but takes orders and instructions from Israel.
“Why are the Ukrainian authorities dismantling the Ukrainian Orthodox Church? Because it brings together not Only the territory [of Ukraine back to Russia; the Motherland], it brings together our souls [Ukrainian and Russian brothers and sisters back together Again]. No one will be able to separate the soul.” - Vladimir Putin
“It would be funny if it were not so sad. This Endless mobilization in Ukraine, the hysteria, the domestic problems - sooner or later, it will all result in an agreement. You know, this will probably sound strange, given the current situation, but the relations between the two peoples [Ukrainian and Russian brothers and sisters] will be rebuilt Anyway. It will take a lot of time, but they will heal.” - Vladimir Putin
Seemingly you know nothing about the Ukrainians, Mr. Pupin!
Western Drip feed and political will, not matched by corporate business investment failure. The conditions while E.U governments bicker and US policy makers delay , even though in principle the majority do not want Russia to succeed in reestablishing the Soviet territories, show self serving greed to be more important , than social stability. Socialism being replaced by isolationist Nationalists is a prime example of Capitalist failures to actually do something , other than hunker down behind ivory towers and glass walls, expecting others to do the work, while they speculate. Either by fair means or foul , the Russian economy has moved to a war time one , they have stated their intentions and still too little ,too late is going to cost all, if Nationalists, like Trump are chosen and their divide and conquer wins out in the U.S. Praying for the best, while NOT planning for the worst, is a false policy of failed states. Austin is shown to be not up to the job , by his own countries political system fails. The E.U's time to sink or swim.

Right from the start, the idea of Ukraine fighting a war with the Russian Federation was insane and still is. The idea of bringing a NATO military force into Ukraine to be vaporized by Russia's tactical nukes is suicidal

Gotta justify keeping the war going somehow. Purposefully misleading is too generous. I'll call it straight out lying.
