  • "They have a very poor record for saving lives on the frontline. They throw in wave after wave... The elite youth have either fled or their hoping that military recruitment won't pick them up because that would cause upset in influential places."
    Michael Binyon analyses Putin's conscription dilemma: as he continues to lose soldiers on the frontline but struggles to recruit younger troops without causing upset with Russian elites.

    The Ukrainians do not need to ‘push’ Russian forces out of Crimea they just need to make their situation there untenable. If the Russian airforce can no longer over-fly the Crimea without fear of being shot down and if the Russian navy cannot sail near the Crimea without fear of being sunk then the remaining Russian land forces will no longer be able to rely upon re-supply and will eventually withdraw.

This treaty was renewed every 10 years, however, because Russia assisted the people of Donbas and Lughansk in fighting an illegitimate regime in Kyv from 2014 . Ukraine announced its intention not to renew the treaty in September 2018The treaty consequently expired on 31 March 2019. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko signed a decree not to extend the treaty.on 3rd December 2018. On December 6 the Ukrainian parliament declared the Treaty to be terminated starting from April 1, 2019.[21]. The borders between Russia and Ukraine had never formally been agreed and it was Ukraine who unilaterally marked out the borders.

      @fritzvonrichthofen6568 20 дней назад +1

      The statement "Crimea voted in 1991 in a free and fair election to be in Ukraine" misrepresents the actual circumstances of the 1991 referendum. The 1991 referendum in Crimea was about restoring the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic within the Ukrainian SSR, not explicitly about choosing to be part of Ukraine as opposed to another state like Russia. At the time of the referendum, both Crimea and Ukraine were still parts of the Soviet Union. The overwhelming support in the referendum was for the restoration of autonomy within the structure of the Ukrainian SSR. In 1992, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Crimea did declare independence briefly.
      The 1992 Declaration of Independence by Crimea was influenced by several complex and interrelated factors:
      Political and Nationalistic Aspirations:
      Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was a surge of nationalism and regionalism across the former Soviet states, including Ukraine and Crimea. Many ethnic Russians in Crimea felt a strong cultural and historical alignment with Russia rather than Ukraine. The declaration can be seen as an expression of these local nationalist aspirations aiming to assert greater autonomy or even merge with Russia.
      Ethnic Composition:
      Crimea had a majority of ethnic Russians who were potentially uneasy with the new Ukrainian government's policies and the prospect of Ukrainian nationalism. This demographic was instrumental in pushing for policies that would secure greater autonomy or a closer relationship with Russia.
      Economic Uncertainties:
      The early 1990s were a period of significant economic upheaval. The breakdown of the Soviet economic system led to instability and uncertainty. Regions like Crimea, which were heavily dependent on industries tied to the wider Soviet economy, faced particular challenges. There was a belief that a more autonomous or independent status might allow Crimea to navigate these challenges more effectively.
      Legal and Constitutional Dynamics:
      The Ukrainian government was in the process of forming its own identity and constitutional framework, which included defining the status of Crimea within Ukraine. The 1992 declaration was partly a response to these dynamics, as Crimea sought to assert its position and negotiate from a point of strength.
      Reaction to Ukrainian Policies:
      The initial moves by the Ukrainian government to impose its control and integrate Crimea into its administrative and legal systems were met with resistance by many in Crimea. The declaration was a pushback against what was seen as encroachment on local autonomy.
      Ultimately, the declaration was short-lived. The Crimean parliament rescinded the declaration later in 1992 following negotiations with Kiev, which led to Crimea being recognized as the Autonomous Republic of Crimea within Ukraine under a new Ukrainian constitution. This status provided Crimea with a degree of self-governance, although the tensions and complex issues around Crimea's status persisted until the 2014 crisis.

    But leaving all that aside, it's utterly preposterous to act as though Crimea is some sort of impregnable fortress. It's extremely vulnerable. As another commenter stated, if Ukraine has the military assets to sink Russian ships, shoot down Russian planes, target Russian ground assets with long-range precision munitions, and prevent resupply to the Russian army in Crimea, as will soon be the case, how, exactly, is Russia going to hold it permanently? 😵‍💫

    Michael Binyon shines as an expert in military affairs, and James delivers a scorching interview bring viewers in the UK and around the world and across the channel from you up-to-date. Early in the interview Mr Binyon sheds doubt on the Ukrainians ever getting Crimea back, but here is what I have heard and my disclaimer is that I am an artist and have never served in the military. America's greatest living general---again, in my unschooled opinion---is General (Ret.) Ben Hodges whom has said repeatedly that Ukraine will not survive as a country if the war ends and they don't have Crimea back in the fold. What General Hodges says to back this up is that if Crimea remains in Russia, then the Ukraine will forever be at mercy of the Russian Black Sea fleet and ditto for the coastal cities in the Sea of Azov. President Putin's crown jewel is Crimea and once you know that, even an armchair defense analyst like myself sees the only main objective for the Ukrainians in the war is to do everything in their power to make the Russians flee the stolen land and then see how long the Russian people will support a president who has lost their main prize from the Ukraine 'military exercise'.

    It also wasn't five minutes ago, historically, that a British - Turkish alliance threw the Russians out of Crimea. Ukraine is much older than Russia and if one had a claim on the other it would be the other way around.
    If Putin wants to blabber about the return of Historical territories, then he needs to grab all Russians and withdraw to about 100 miles south of Moscow and give it all back to the Swedes. I'm sure he'll love that idea.

    Here is why I believe Michael Binyon is wrong about the potential of Ukraine to gain all territories to 2014 borders. Russia is vunerable to defeat in so many different ways. The collapse of the Russian Federation might not only be military, but could also be economic and political. A political coup for example is ripe and the new leader will gain support domestically and internationally on a platform of trading territory for peace and the recovery from the horrific reign of Putin. The weakness of Russia is multifaceted and collapse will be sudden and may come in many different forms

    The reason Krushchev would have given Crimea to Ukraine and Russia didn’t dispute this in 1991 is most likely because it makes more sense. It’s almost an island and was dependent on Ukraine for fresh water and tourists. Putin had to build the Kerch bridge to try to restore the economy after the annexation because it was dying. A big reason for the size of the Russian population there was the naval base which was leased to Russia.

    Would have been nice if you had listed who was who in this interview. However, I noticed the "expert" did not answer the entire question with regards to a Ukraine victory. Point 1 is would the "Western Allies" allow Ukraine to retake the Donbas and Luhansk before a ceasefire was called? The war will not stop until they achieve that and it means betrayal of Ukraine if the West stops supporting them. Secondly, a lot of attacks in Russia, such as Belgorod are coming from clandestine teams in small units with fast vehicles or Russians who are rebelling against Putin and his policies. Finally, the eviction of the Russians from all territory of Ukraine will not end the war. It might result in the cessation of fighting, but that will simply mean the Russians will rebuild for a new attack. Even it Putin is deposed, the people most likely to replace him are just as hawkish. The clock on this cease fire would run to Ukraine joining NATO before the Russians feel strong enough for another go.

    Ukraine doesn’t need to take Crimea for a tactical victory over the province. If it can demonstrate that maintaining a military presence in the peninsula would be untenable due to lack of reliable supply corridors to garrison meaningful presence to launch any kind of attack, it would be pretty much a bleeding wound in which Russia would have to negotiate terms, continue to burn money it doesn’t have to maintain their positions in Crimea, and it incentivizes Russia coming to the table because it can claim (probably not Putin himself) that they have ‘demilitarized’ some of the contested territories between Moscow and Kyiv.
    Kyiv needs to be supported at least to the point where it can control key high grounds and junctions that can be fortified to the point where direct attacks would be unproductive, and that all critical supply corridors would be under threat from entrenched Ukrainian outposts that essentially bleed Russian coffers trying to maintain forward support to their positions inside Ukraine.
