Analysing what 2024 could mean for Ukraine war
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 дек 2023
- At the start of 2023, things in Ukraine looked hopeful - a counter-offensive was expected and there were high hopes Ukraine could make a decisive breakthrough.
But this did not materialise.
Since then, new military aid has dropped by almost 90 per cent and billions of dollars' worth of US funding is stuck, caught up in a Congressional row.
At the same time, Russia is tripling defence spending. So with the conflict in Ukraine about to enter its third calendar year, Forces News has taken a look at where this war in Ukraine will go in 2024.

The error was not arming Ukraine in early 2022, if Ukraine had been given equipment / training early it’s 2022 offensive would have continued before Russia could build deep defence lines. Now the west needs to commit to Ukraine long term
Russia might have changed from attrition warfare to another type of warfare in such instances. Pretending Russia would have ever allowed Ukraine to become a FOB for Nato and an instrument of Anglo-American led political pressure upon Moscow, is where it all went wrong.
There is a lot of pressure on western countries economies will be difficult to keep spending
Wake up my friend and watch the 18 parts of 'Roses Have Thorns' these are un-cut documentaries from the 2014 Euro Maidan, here you will see Ukraines dark side with the Azov Battalion, The First sector and the followers of Stepan Bandera.
@@jimskliros6353 just take more debt
Lol it started in 2014 you fool sheeple keep talking out your as
Telegraphing a massive counter offensive was the stupidest thing Ukraine could have done. It completely nullified any potential advantage they could have had.
The same people that complained that not much was gained are the same people who spent 8 months prior to the offensive talking about it and posting about it as if russia wouldn't build massive defence lines
@@seemopps And the same people who spent months laughing at the Russians for wasting their time preparing extensive "useless" static defenses.
Besides, there was NO WAY that counteroffensive was ever going to come as a surprise. There was a single obvious front where a successful attack could have a decisive strategic impact, where a large scale attack was also possible. And the air was so full of observation drones that large troop concentrations were easy to spot.
From what I can tell the greatest mistake leading up to the offensive was grossly underestimating just how dense and deep the Russian minefields truly were.
Russia knew they’d try it. It wasn’t lost on anyone. The surprise would’ve been if they HADN’T tried it and saved everyone and dug in themselves.
@@seemopps exactly this 🙏🙏
@@fnorgen The main issue is that they don't have air superiority, a US general said himself that if US troops were in the same position as the ukrainians without air support that their troops would never be sent on the offensive, it also took way too long for the west to send tanks and long range missiles
. . . . . . when has Russia ever said they want a war with NATO?
They don't but if the things don't improve there will be a war between Russia and NATO
they never did.
@@4epa1012nobody is stopping European country moving their army into Ukraine
Gradual advances for Russia, a gradual shift of the war of attrition in favour of Russia. Increasing pressure from western governments for Ukraine to negotiate, but no dramatic breakthroughs on either side. The war of attrition will continue for another year. Unless there is a dramatic collapse in the Russian political system, which seems unlikely, this is just going on. Look to the Middle East for escalation.
If the US and its vassals keep telling the Ukrainians not to negotiate, the Russians will go all the way to the Dniepr, Odessa in the south and Kharkov in the north.
Scary stuff!
Trump was right all along when he stated that other NATO countries don't spend enough on defence and expect America to pay the main share of the NATO budget.
Because this is a US initiated war. Europe and most countries do not approve of US dictatorship.
I like the channel and the good reports.
But the comment section is full of trolls most of the time.
I guess a troll is someone you disagree with? Or posts something you dont like.
Sounds very snowflakery

Why people and companies, when publishing videos, forget that in a couple of months we could re watch your videos? Remember to say only what will not embarrass you then. Those who comment, do the same.
Hodges the same Hodges that said 6 months ago that the counter offensive would be a great success and Russian defense lines were just a inconvenience!
General Ben “Crimea by August” Hodges!😂😂
The one who said 10k Russian troops were in Ukraine in 2015. No evidence of more than 10, literally zero indication of any presence >10.
He had a job then - head of Nato.
@@antique-bs8bblots of rus regular soldiers were caught in battles back then and even more killed. They were taken phones away before deployed, no insignia, no unit markings on tanks. Total secresy, not to spread it to public. But some rus soldiers had phones and posted photos and locations of their whole units in Ukraine cities... And rus military equipment miraculously apearing in Ukraine, from all sides of russia. Everything proved with videos, photos and analysis by various intell groups. They even check how fresh graves of young rus soldiers were mounting in russia... and their parents says that official reason on paper was death on military exercises... Want more? Videos of rus POW's captured in Ukraine battles back then, singing about their rus military units in russia?
If you were really informed you would know. Look at videos on YT before you spread lies of denial of how they were not in Ukraine back then.
As Vietnam and Afghanistan proved, small countries can outlast imperial powers. Ukraine must stay the course, and so must NATO. Now is the time to double-down.
Er, Germany was quite a small country in comparison the Soviet Russia. Of course it should be noted Russian Federation has a UN mandate of UNSC 2202 and the U.S. led western coalition are acting as a gang of ruffian outlaws in preventing the permanent security council member (Russia) in enforcing it.
Ukraine is literally the ancestral homeland of the Russian people.
Kiev's name means mother or all Russian cities.
Ukraine is the mother of Russian civilization.
40% of Ukraine s population is ethnic Russian.
If you think try the Russians are going anywhere you better forget about it.
@@danwelterweight4137 Yep, not the ancestral home of the American State Dept people or UK FCO. Eastern Slavic people, Russian Orthodox peoples. Ukraine never being independent from either the Ottoman Empire, then Russian Empire or Soviet Union. As an independent country post-Soviet break up, it was initially CIS/CSTO up until U.S. led interference via color revolution attempts. (2004/2014)
Afghanistan demonstrated how efficient NATO weapons and soldiers are.
Not with American money or weapons, we have our own issues that are much more important to us. One thing I know is that Russia will never invade the US, this is a European problem. Ukraine is not a NATO member or a Allie to the US.
Ben Hodges should get his army boots on and get his ass over to the front. Off you go now.
Ben Hodges - the voice in the wilderness. When will NATO and the US start listening to him?
Hes trying to piece back together the old soviet union. Thats why hes going after all those old satellite countries they lost when the iron curtain fell.
Almost half of the German Leopard 2 tanks delivered to Kiev have already been put out of service. This data was reported by German Major General Christian Freuding, head of the Situation Center Ukraine in the Bundeswehr. He also acknowledged to the German media that some of Russia’s military capabilities were initially underestimated in assessments of the current conflict in Ukraine.
According to the head of the German military, the decision to supply German tanks to Ukraine was actively discussed only a year ago.
The reason of heavy losses is not only the Russian fire. According to the German official, one of the reasons for the loss of the German equipment is the inept repair of combat vehicles by Ukrainians. He clarified that the Ukrainian military cannot repair tanks in accordance with the German rules of operation and maintenance. As a result, the parts of the tanks are wasted fast. Freuding also explained that the repairing of German tanks in the Lithuanian maintenance center will also be ineffective, since the delivery of equipment takes a long time. The journey from the Polish-Ukrainian border alone takes 36 hours, he pointed out.
Earlier, German journalist Paul Ronzheimer reported that the training centers in Germany, where the Ukrainian military is learning to operate Leopard 2 MBTs, are only half staffed, which indicates sharp shortage of personnel in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Wars are always like this. Everything is short-staffed, everything breaks.
Your wording caused an itch, talking of heavy losses, when they got something like 18 Leopard 2A6 from Germany, and these tanks having been deployed and in heavy combat for 6+ months now is a WILD exaggeration if I ever heard one. This is a massive, high intensity conflict that no western country or it's serving soldiers and officers have any experience with, you would probably have to look for Vietnam Vets to get people with similiar experiences, those guys would would be 70-80 years old, and that was still a very different war, and still a war with heavy insurgency and a lot of guerilla warfare, and not really a conflict between two peers that is absolutley hammering eachother every day of the week, along a front that is like 1000 km long, all things considered I think we should call 8-9 tanks being damaged or destroyed small losses, but it is a high percentage of course, of a small number of tanks.
@@Alex-oc2vi Ukraine hasn't got anything left in the tank. Russia is a peer of U.S. led Nato and Ukraine was just the 'free' (for $205 billion) manpower, Soviet era stocks and battleground for the confrontation. All of which has been depleted to a level that suggests a collapse of the state formally known as Ukraine, (i.e occupied Russia) in due course.
@@richardmarsden5610 This war has shown that Russia is nothing but a glorified petrol station, we are 2 years in and they make very, very little progress in their original war aims, and what little progress do they make comes at an insane cost of russian lifes and equipment, and thats against a country that has nothing left in the tank acording to you. NATO has done the bare minimum, we are talking pocket change kind of money compared to the collective defense budgets of the NATO members.
@@Alex-oc2vi Problem with people like yourself is you actually believe your own garbage you spew. Russia has directly taken on the second largest land army in Europe (AFU) and defeated it and that very same U.S. led Nato proxy (AFU) had 50 states arming, training, financing and assisting it in all aspects of war fighting. Russia has proven to be a Titan that the collective West could not defeat. The SMO has a number of goals and the objectives are all in reach. Occupied Russia (i.e Ukraine) shall be liberated in due course. ('Decommunization')
Be very thankful that both Russia & China have not formed a formal military alliance just as yet for the U.S. led Nato would not stand a cat in hell's chance of defeating such an entity.
U.S. political will has been defeated over Ukraine and is being seen to be.
Best wish from peter sandstedt in sweden and have a great time and evening best from peter🤔🤔🤔♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏😁
History always repeats
I feel sorry for Ukraine. NATO should never have flirted with Ukraine years ago, and Russia should never have invaded them.
ukraine wanted protection from nato
Итог Украина не в Нато и второй факт Украина на половину уничтожена…
In Ukraine's case, it was a mercy flirt of a thirsty loser who was begging for it. just look at all their neighbors. they practically jumped when NATO offered them a membership. Russia being evil really had nothing to do with it. NATO/EU is viewed as a gravy train in Europe. You could've had the softest wimp for president of Russia and NATO would still expand Eastwards.
Installing an Anti-Russian regime in Kiev back in 2014 will turn out one of the biggest follies of the US neocon/neolib establishment in a generation.
You failed to mention that the USA started the 2014 conflict in Ukraine. THe USA illegally annexed UKraine in 2014. THis is another war started by the USA. follow the money. Who benefits from the conflict in UKraine? The USA is robbing UKraine, UKraine export grain is now USA owned UKraine export grain. Russia did not invade. Russia is liberating UKraine from the American Empire and UKraine knot ccs.
Independent sources have a lot lower estimates for Russian casualties. And Russia is controlling black sea despite having issues with sea drones. Remind yourself that Russia had zero investment into drones when war did break out, now they produce more sophisticated drones and in a lot higher volume. And Russia is now developing sea drones as well. So general speaking it's not looking great for Ukraine. And still west and people believing their lies won't admit it was never in Ukraines interest to leave negotiations around Minsk Agreements. Ukraine would still have control of the same territory in east Ukraine, country not being in shambles.
America is also promising aeroplanes to Taiwan. Are we all sleepwalking into the next WW?
We technology already have but its being fought with proxy wars.
No, we are all seeing it coming and wondering if Xi will be as mad as Putin and start it.
If anything, Ukraine proved that you can't gain peace by showing weakness and giving in at every turn -> Putin just kept on escalating again and again at every turn.
Si vis pacem, para bellum...
The history of world conflict shows that if you don't stand up to bullies, then bullies get even bolder. The Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia and Britain and France reneged on their treaty commitment to go to their aid. Next, the Nazis invaded Poland. It is only strength and the readiness to defend the weak that has a chance to prevent dictator-led countries from expanding their borders. Both Putin and Xi Jinping are versions of Hitler... without the jackboots and raised arm salutes, but with the internal repression and the strongman ideologies of the Dark Ages.
Very even handed. Its up to US, America to get out thumb out and move forward with more aid to Ukraine. Our politicians is Washington are shamelessly stuck attacking one another, when the enemy is Putin. Its a sad day for US leadership all around.
We should stop sending money.
This is not our responsibility, no matter how much our dementia ridden pres and administration says it is.. this is simply a waste of human life, at this point. Zelenski saying that he is going conscript
What actions of Putin made him an enemy of America?
wrong, THe USA cannot defeat Russia on its border. 500,000 dead UKraine troops so far. You want more? no more money to UKraine
Europe needs to step up as well.
Nice summary!
The EU is weak.
Weak, scared and stupid. :D
Look at everything the EU has done.. It is not weak, just very slow and bureaucratic.. Its support for Ukrainian citizens and their economic, religious, media and sexual freedom has barely begun.
@@bombheadgames9565 _weak... you are weaaaak... media freedom like Germany and the UK? ah haha ha!_
You want it strong? Be careful. The Europeans were waging wars 2,000 years before the 13 colonies existed. Nobody knows war like Europe. Nobody is better at it.

Ukraine needs to hold the uk and USA to more account as they were the ones to tell Ukraine to walk away from Minsk agreement. General hodges seems to predict russias downfall each week.
Evidence please to back up your statement. The US and U.K. were two guarantors and Russia agreed to respect the Ukraine borders.

Shepherds Student 😨.
As a UK citizen, I do not want Ukraine in NATO!
This war will not come to an end. Not in 2024 nor in 2025. The pervidity of politics is that outside of Ukraine nobody wants this war to end as this war is business. Yes I can’t stand this war. But we are not entering year 3 of this war but year 10, and if we want to be blond this conflict grew out of the peace treaty of WW2, simply Germany didn’t want to be the original aggressor. I don’t say the peace treaty caused this conflict (it just ended one and all hoped this was now part of history) well that would be nice and naive- the peace dividend of post word war 2 just run out and with closing that chapter many shortsighted people who don’t understand history nor politics nor conflicts nor human nature nor greed nor war can’t connect the points.
The west is playing weak, and coy and Russia is bold and brut. Now who is fooling whom? Russians are living in war for now two years. They must love it. Everything is fine. We in the west complain about inflation, immigration and recession. Everything that impact us is nothing compared with real air raids, real destruction, real casualties, real disruption of civilian lives. Can you imagine not regular seeing your wife and children? Everything is disrupted and will not get in normal order for any time new. Mean team the total casualties reaching 1 million in this war (How horrible!) no horrible is that nobody cares. So I want to be clear of course all Ukrainians do care. I think even the Russians do care even when they say stupid things to keep on fighting. But I believe all of them do grieve. But the rest of the world doesn’t grieve. I am loosing my sleep and trust me it is freaking depressing to live with the fallout of WW2 and through the Cold War to see this Ukraine war unfolding.
It hurts me, it bothers me, it disturbs me … I have clear allegiance and I support the right of self defense, self determination of the Ukrainian people. On the same time I call this a war conducted by, on behalf of and for the pure delusion of the Russian people. Sorry I will not let you of this guilt trip. You and only you (aka the Russian people) can end this hostility, this war, this madness. Sorry that you are mislead, but it is your conscience your meanness, your aggression, your values (good or bad - your judgment) you determine how you want to live. If it is too cold move out of Russia. If you have other problems- solve your problems. We the rest of the world say NO to your way of living. We don’t care about your culture, your values, your language, your ideas, your anything …. Time you learn to play nice with everyone else and get your mind straightened out WW2 is over. No matter how often you are re-enacting your old glory - you are just drunk and nobody cares no more after the carnage you have done after 4 wars (2 Chechnya wars, 1 Georgia war, and now your Ukraine war) we know what you are doing and you just solve the problem by reduce your population for us. You can’t manage the vastness of your land. Now you have less people and you want to do more with less people. Remember you will have soon killed one million of your sons. Good choice and well done. When are you notice that you fight yourself not even starting to mess with the evil west. That is total insanity in my eyes and I really do you a favor to open your eyes - you are not at war with us - yet. You will face us at a time when your military is cut to size to match us in numbers but you will have lost so much on the way, that you will have a partisan warfare on your hand in which we hunt everything that is Russian, not because we are mean, because we don’t care to differentiate between good or bad Russians. How could we with you silently standing by and let this madness happen and continue.
Are you ok hun
The future looks bleak. Russia has tasted blood...
Russia is not interested in taking over Europe. Although American neocons and their West European puppets will say that, in the attempt to make their proxy war against Russia look necessary and moral. Don't believe them. Joey three-wars hopes his endless battles will serve as a distraction from his impending impeachment, and eventual loss to Trump.
Ru will never forgive.
hodges is misguided or paid to say

So?

Nonsense and pure delusion. You don't mess up with a country with the largest nuclear arsenal in history. It is just sheer stupidity. It is suicide. The global south is not with the west in this show of shame.
it means game over before march....lmao
Defeat for Ukraine.Russian forces pushing forward in several areas supplying the front lines. These routes are almost cut. If they fall Ukrainians will be trapped without supplies so it's fight, flight or surrender
What is Ukraine casualties please since the talk isabout Russians
They say 30,000 dead and 700,000 missing. Russians say 600,000 Ukranian casualties. (not including pows) Take your pick of sources.
Thought! Would Trump, if elected, be the only President ever to serve whilst under house arrest in the White House?
Questions we want to ask ourselves are; would the UK be happy with a Russian military base in northern Ireland affiliated with IRA guns aimed at London? Would USA be happy with a military base in Cuba guns aimed at New York and Washington? Does Cuban missile crisis not educate us on how these things play out?
Since the military operation started, we can clearly see the American led western ambitions to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian with hopes of bleeding Russia.
None of the "western led humanitarian justice organisations" will encourage peace negotiations but spread Russian hatered. When did we allow western minority to make decisions on behalf of whole mankind?
Boris Johnson visited Ukraine three times just to break up the peace negotiations. Spends billions of pounds worth of weapons, training, and funding while it was just in 2006 that UK finished paying for WW2 aid. Zelenskyy visits White House, house of commons, European parliaments, and does not miss a single opportunity to address a public gathering, does he? Who has authorised him with so much screen time?
Boris did not break up peace negotiations , as Putin's mind was already made up to invade with his forces in place on the Ukrainian border during the UK Prime Minister's visits to Kyiv . Ukraine was never going to accept Russian terms whereby the Russians would invade and occupy most of Ukraine in an armed take over of their sovereign territory and that Zelensky stand down as president with a pro Russian puppet to take his place . One thing people like yourself do not understand is that Ukrainian's do not want to be Russian's and ruled from Moscow under an authoritarian regime ( just like Soviet times ) , with the vast majority preferring western alignment - EU membership and closer ties with NATO . Boris went to Kyiv , not to stop peace negotiations , but to arrange weapons to be shipped into Ukraine such as NLAWS , which ultimately were extremely effective in aiding the defeat and subsequent withdrawal of Russian forces from the northern regions of Ukraine . Yes many lives could have been saved had Ukrainian's put down their weapons and "welcomed" the Russians , but they did not do that as Ukrainian's fully understood what Russian occupation would mean to their Ukrainian culture and language etc - eradication ! Just like what Stalin tried to do .
What Putin did not count on by conducting his SMO is that both Ukrainian speaking Ukrainian's and Russian speaking Ukrainian's have unified to defend their homeland against it's bullying neighbour . Ukraine needed to stand up to Russia and it's geopolitical , imperialist intentions of placing itself front and centre to a new world order . Russia cannot be allowed to succeed in Ukraine , the price of failure if the west buckles at the knees is more Russian influence deeper into Europe and instability that will lead to a much bigger war . Is that what you want ?
Does the sea blame the sand for expansionism when the tide goes out? Due to economic, religious, media and sexual oppression the Soviet empire has been shrinking for decades, this is its final implosion. NATO simply allows people to join who want freedom from the Kremlin's dictatorial rule.
This is an interesting comment. It suggests that NATO, the West in general want to invade Russia. The West runs on various forms of a free market economy, apart from all the legal, moral and humanitarian reasons the West would not invade Russia, there is nothing in Russia the West needs or wants that cannot be traded elsewhere. Russian corruption as well as the Russian 'brain-drain' has left that nation incapable of designing and manufacturing anything useful. The West doesn't hate Russians, the West doesn't hate Russia however the West may dislike the russian-mafia that is currently running the country. I for one would love to see Russia become a truly free, democratic and ethical nation that would welcome trade and visitors, that was my vision when the wall came down and still is, I hope I live long enough to see that happen.
Good point. Just look at US bases in Asia
Right to the center, as far as the argument is concerned, you gave a classic checkmate 👏👏👏
It all hinges on whether military aid is supplied without further delay.
AFU lost 85% of its troops and NATO warcraft
if ukraine was doing as well as they claim there would be plenty of money. this isnt really about politics...
With Russia losing over 300,000 men to Ukraines 30,000, Surely Ukraine is winning the war !
Whom is surprised by this ...
Let's report on how vulnerable armour is on the battlefield and how many Russian Tanks and FV have been hammered...
Then seem shocked when the counter offensive fails spear headed by Leopards, Challengers and other TANKS...
Morons...
Always seems to be America's responsibility to fund/solve Europe's problems. Europeans seems to think there is an endless supply of dollars from America while most European countries have failed to fund their own militaries up to NATO standards.
Oh shut your damn yapper. Right wingers didn't have a problem with that when they were still able to fantasize about the U.S. being the supreme hegemon and world police.
It isn't a European problem, we were busy buying Russian energy but the USA hated that idea si used Ukraine to throw a spanner into the workings. Without US meddling there would be no war.
For sure Europe needs to do lots more. Keep in mind America has never wanted Europe to become a nuclear superpower rivalling the US. Nobody knows how to make war better than the Europeans. Be careful what you wish for in life. There's a reason that post-WW2 policy was designed around America: it's kept the peace for 78 years.
If Europe falls, so does Murcia's security dummy. U think Pootins gonna stop at Ukraine?
Not sure what you're talking about, the EU has given as much if not more than the USA in financial aid to Ukraine. It hasn't been able to give as much military aid because they don't have the huge military industrial complex that the USA has.
Things only looked hopeful for a blind and deaf person.
Russian army of the Russia Don Badshah
If ukraine falls, then other nato countries are next.... sounds kinda like the domino's theory during the Vietnam war.
Look up Fulda gap and Suwaldi gap in Europe it has a history.
In 1939, the alliance between Britain and France did not discourage Hitler. Ukraine is the Czechoslovakia of 1939... it was the first of a string of Nazi conquests. An alliance formed between Russia, China and North Korea is the real danger for the West. You turn your back on history at your peril.
Apart from the fact Russia has repeatedly invaded other countries e.g. Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine, this is more like the situation in 1938, there is no use trying to negotiate with people like putin
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin stated on Saturday that Moscow perceives neither Kiev nor the West as having the political will for peace, suggesting Ukraine is focused on war.
In an interview with RIA Novosti, the Russian official said "a comprehensive, sustainable, and fair settlement of the conflict around Ukraine largely depends on the elimination of its root causes."
"The West must stop pumping weapons, and Kiev to cease hostilities and withdraw its troops from Russian territory," Galuzin said.
In that case, Russia must withdraw to its pre-2014 borders. This is where Russian territory ends.
@malcpkim8 lmao that's never gonna happen. Ukraine is not only not going too get that ,but they unconditionally surrender they will lose Odessa has well 😅
Basic journalistic integrity requires you report that Russia has explicitly stated they will not start WWIII by attacking a NATO nation.
Fine if you give your editorial opinion that Russia is lying and actually does intend to start WWIII
Just outline the facts and logic supporting your opinion
Haha, and they've entered into agreements with Ukraine and recognized Ukraine's sovereign integrity - until they didn't.
You would be a fool to believe what the russians say to the western audience.
As a reminder, they said they wouldn't invade Ukraine...
@@sw6493Not an inch to the east - US/NATO promise in 1989
Absolutely. Everyone's entitled to their own views and opinions, but not to their own facts.
Just like the Minsk agreement, right?
If Ukraine were to be accepted into NATO, it would not matter if Trump gets back in power, as he would ignore NATO Article 5: "An attack on one is an attack on all", and he would not engage U.S. forces in defending Ukraine. Even if Ukraine was not in NATO and Putin won in Ukraine and invaded Estonia (a NATO country) for example, Trump will still ignore Article 5. These are not just my opinions, many EU leaders are thinking the same thing. A NATO without the U.S. is a much weaker animal and Putin is well aware of this.
Trump was as gung ho on Ukraine as Biden. Why do you think he toured Europe telling everyone to double their Nato spend? Because he knew the Ukraine attack on Russia was coming. US has been priming them for this since before 2014.
Ukraine will not be accepted in NATO during the conflict. This would mean a nuclear exchange which no one can afford.
What's the point of NATO? Trump actually cares about us and puts this country first. NATO was established to fight against the soviets. Now what?
Yeah, Turkey will defend Estonia 😂
You need to read article 5. An attack on one will result in the rest considering attacking. Do you really think the USA would risk WW3 for Poland, the Baltics or any former Soviet country. answer NO
We need to support Ukraine at all costs
450k military dead is the running total right now - do you really mean all costs. Because women, kids and over 60s are being drafted right now, and they will be first in the meat grinder.
Putin needs stopped what is the point of living under him you should fight

Wake up my friend and watch the 18 parts of 'Roses Have Thorns' these are un-cut documentaries from the 2014 Euro Maidan, no manipulation just true reportage, here you will see Ukraines dark side with the likes of the Azov Battalion, The First sector and the followers of Stepan Bandera. So the big question is why support Ukraine at all costs.
Russia has lost 315K men, so how many men has Ukraine lost, please give both sides of the story otherwise someone may think you are biased.
В странах запада сотни миллионов людей живут в нищете и долгах, а они деньги налогоплательщиков направляют в коррумпированную Украину. На эти средства запад мог бы полностью в своих странах покончить с бедностью.
No, there are only hundreds of millions of people in total. Yes, some live in poverty but most do not. The standard of living in the West is far higher than Russia or China and to argue otherwise is just silly.

The way homeless is recorded in the West is different, it counts people that do not have a permanent home as in renting or owners. Homeless does not mean you are living on the streets. Most of those homeless will be in temporary accommodation or shelters and sleep in a bed at night.
Of course some are really homeless but that is usually due to mental illness and they do not know how to get help. Then there are drug addicts that choose to live that way.
For the record, I'm not sure the west should be 'helping' Ukraine. Ukrainians and Russians are good people. The best settlement would be for Russia to withdraw and the West promise not to allow Ukraine into NATO or the EU.

If they could get Poland, they would connect Kaliningrad and cut of the Baltic states. So in my opinion Polland will be the main aim after Ukraine ...and it is not by chance that Poland is afraid and ordered a lot of weapons.
You have it backwards. Ukraine and Poland are 2 loser countries and jealous of Russia.
Russia does not want Poland or UKraine. All Russia asked for is UKraine declare neutrality. The USA ordered UKraine to not declare neutrality. Instead, the USA built up the UKraine army into the largest army in Europe. Russia had no choice. You want a fight. Lets start.
Hopefully this will turn Nuclear.
Everyone asks this stupid Ben, so everyone knew what he was thinking, he just doesn't know the reality, which really doesn't matter 😃
Invite Russia to join NATO, that would be the mother of all grand bargains and solve all Russian security concerns.
The US , de facto boss of NATO, would never tolerate Russia in NATO. NATO is there to maintain US control over its vassal states in Europe. Russia will never submit and become another US vassal state.
Russia wanted to be invited in 2000 but NATO snubbed the Russians and said they needed to apply. National pride prevented the application.
Inviting a bunch of gangsters to join!!!
this media and retired generals acting DUMB on why this conflict started and what the Russia wanted... neutrality of Ukraine
'Russia wanted Ukraine to be neutral'... so Russia pretended to be holding exercises near to the border and then invaded, claiming that it was a special operation to remove a fascist Government in Kiev? Since then the fascist pretext has been dropped and replaced by: 'NATO started this war and we have to defend ourselves against NATO because it wants to destroy Russia'. Frankly, you are either gullible, stupid, or both.
Russia wants a puppet just like lukashenko
Russia is on the right side of history in this conflict..
No, Russia has degraded itself into committing evil. It will lose, as it has before.
maybe in THEIR future history books
Russia has never been on the right side of history.
Poor analysis it’s not even stalemate why kept the lies shame on you. Putin will never listen to clown comedian proposals 😂😂
My hope is for Trump to put an end to this bloodletting.
Be careful what you wish for. It is stop Russia now or get dragged into a worse conflict ourselves.
to give putin everything he wants?
🙋 I PREDICT that Ukraine will change its name to RUSSIA
This guy talks absolute garbage lol
Ukraine has already lost the war
No way! This is Russians fighting Russian and even if Russia over runs Ukrain the Civil war will spread with in Russia (terrorism)
Says who ? It's been nearly 2 years and Putins SMO is now a war . Russia certainly is not winning .
Your comment just shows you as a weak defeatist, not a strategist. Weak guys always see defeat wherever they look. Maybe you should go play videogames?
@@opinionatedpossum1945 o not weak I see a win against butchering Nazis, but one thing this war has proven is how weak the west is with their woke military’s who don’t know what sex they are.
How exactly did Ukraine lose the war? Russia was supposed to be a so-called superpower. Their pathetic attempt could not even defeat their own neighbors, and yet they attempt to threaten the rest of the free world. Russia’s military is completely destroyed and a laughing stock to the entire world. Dictator Putin has destroyed his own country for many generations to come, and they will never recover.
Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, asserted during a UN Security Council meeting that the "Kiev regime's" time is rapidly diminishing.
According to the Russian representative, Moscow has never abandoned political and diplomatic tools for resolving the Ukrainian crisis, "giving the Ukrainian leadership a great chance to preserve its territorial integrity ... and the lives of hundreds of thousands of its citizens."
Nebenzya criticized the Ukrainian leadership for missing a negotiation opportunity in early 2022, allegedly due to influence from Western powers. He also pointed out a decree from the Ukrainian government prohibiting negotiations with Russian leaders, which he believes demonstrates their reluctance for dialogue.
Considering russia invaded ukraine its not a surprise that any peace dialog brought by russia would be viewed with extreme suspicion, especially considering that russia isnt willing to return back to pre-2014 borders in any ceasefire or peace talks it "tries" to go about
I really really like Trump's plan, stop people dying on both sides by negotiating peace.
No money involved unfortunately
Trump's "peace" is a shameful abandonment of Ukraine to a fascist predator. Happily trump is barred from the Presidency.
and let russian dictator win?
Peter talks like a warlord. Truth to be told, Ukraine is losing and will lose even with any form of NATO Support. Western Hegemony is diminishing!
Ukraine may be losing but the West isn't trying very hard. With full NATO backing it is Russia that would lose. Western power is still the main force in the world and will remain so unless Russia goes nuclear and we all die.
Russia has every right to defend itself!
from what?
@@simunlimun6838 NATO
Absolutely no real information forget about analyzing
Even if Trump did win the election, how much more harm could he do from his Sing Sing cell?
Russia has never talked about taking back the Baltic states. Stop spreading misinformation.
Those illegal states
Russia, we support you from Germany. Who needs Moldova or Latvia? This pupet states they can stay on their own legs, or haven't they any?
Russia is a failed state.
Uke is the worst pup of all.
Russian victory! Nobody can win Russia in her lands😁💋
What a failed state Russia has become.
it's Ukraine's land bud
It's RU land. RU has the right to take them all back.

Pro war anti peace propaganda.

And trump actually puts America first
This guy is a joke😂😂
