Why on earth does Ukraine have to accept letting go of Crimea and Donbas if they did NOT start the war? Why should Russia make any gains whatsoever? This is absolutely ludicrous and shameful!

Well, it can be argued that they DID start it by applying to join NATO and by wanting to sell Russian assets to America. Even if they didn't start it, they certainly provoked it.

NATO is already on the border with Russia in Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia. This is not about NATO it's about absorbing Ukraine into the Russian Federation to satisfy Putin's ambition to rebuild the USSR. They say that Ukraine did not exist as an independent until 1992 when the Soviet Union collapsed. Actually neither did the Russian Federation exist until after 1992. Russia was a part of the USSR, not another name for it.
But Russia was in charge of it. And much of the Eastern part of the SSR of Ukraine was, in fact, Russian. Putin has no ambitions to rebuild the USSR. He realises its impracticality. All he wants is to keep the mineral riches of Donbass under Russian control.
It's much simpler: Putin (and Russia) can't afford Ukraine, with it's untapped gas reserves in Donbas and Luhansk, to start competing for European LNG contracts. The irony of trying to prevent that and thus losing that market anyway is one of Putin's biggest mistakes and the result of a short-sighted gamble based on EU's timid response on his earlier shenanigans.
@@tobiasrietveld3819 Not just gas, it's lithium. The point though is that the land and the mines are already largely owned by Russian companies and worked by Russian labour and have been for decades, if not centuries. Putin doesn't see why they should be hived off by Ukraine to America or Blackrock - and I for one can sort of see his point.

I'm sure Ukraine would preferred to keep their nukes. The Russian invasion would never have happened. Putin will be the end of Russia. Ukraine is happy to help. 🇸🇪❤️🇺🇦
It is in Europe's best interest to invest in their own militaries and not rely on the United States so much I do get it though that the strength of the United States military is so much that no other military can defeat them in a straight up fight Iraq and Afghanistan and even Vietnam were insurgencies where any kid on the street could be a suicide bomber It is hard to deal with that kind of warfare, but of all the countries the United States does have the greatest experience in dealing with insurgencies Even if we did eventually give up and walk away from all three of those fights
I wish we could stop pretending that the USA spends so much on defense out of the kindness of their hearts and to save European countries, they do it in order to protect their interests and project force across the world
There will be plenty of problems if NATO starts installing missile silos in Finland. On the other hand NATO has a population of about a billion people by adding Finland they add five million but double the length of the border they have to protect. Back in cold war days it stretched NATO to simply defend a line across Germany. Anyway we will see who comes out on top and who the joker is.
It was the republicans and speaker Johnson who held up the supply of weapons for six months, that exacerbated the problem. If the two US parties had come together early on a lot of lives would have been spared.
It was 7 months, but otherwise everything you said is absolutely correct But that was also when Trump was saying that Putin was being "very smart" to invade Ukraine
It was never about the two parties 'coming together'. A substantial part of the Republican Party is very much pro-Putin. The old establishment Republicans eventually prevailed. But now, the pro-Putin group has the upper hand.

Ceasefire is not good enough. Russian troops must pull out of Ukraine completely and for good and never try to interfere with the internal affairs of their neighbors. Ukraine will be EU member and a NATO member and Putin has nothing to say about it whatsoever.

Of course, that was a ridiculous boast. But, though I don’t trust Trump to do anything that doesn’t line his pockets, on the surface, his actions here look good. We’ll see if he’s serious about getting strong against Putin or if it’s all a bunch of hot air.
America is NOT paying 200bn to Ukraine ..73% of all military aid stays in America to replace the arms they have DONATED from old stocks. and if trump states Europe should increase its spending to 5% perhaps he should show incentive by increasing his meagre 3.9% however expecting equal % is not realistic given the differences in population and gpd throughout the alliance.
It is still borrowing money that does not currently exist to give to war. As far as 5%, Trump always asks high & then negotiates. EU’s population is not that different at all.
Absolutely and well said, Trump was lying by virtue o not telling the whole truth, however the EU knows this, and we will see if they as a block point this out at the highest level to ensure they get a place around the negotiation table, which by the way, snould not include China if they fail tp persuade Russia to agree a quick ceasefire.
Look at it what ever way you want that 73% is now scrap metal and spent shells in Ukraine. The replacement cost to the US tax payer is probably 100% higher that the written down value of arms supplied. Call that a good deal?
Considering Putin's well known historical view of imperial Russia, to think that Putin is going to settle for 20% of Ukraine is deluded, Putin has the serious strategic objective to bring the Baltics and Poland into the Russian sphere and the stronger he feels Russia is the more ambitious he will become. He will see any cessation of hostilities as an opportunity for Russia to recuperate and regenerate for the next land grab.

Part of the agreement to get Ukraine to agree to give up their Nuclear Missiles under the 1994 Budapest Agreement was that Nato would help to protect them in the future, now they are being let down once again like the first time putin invaded Ukraine and took over Crimea. Thousands of lives and Billions of pounds could have been saved...Remember putin is watching all this...Glory Ukraine from the UK.
I agree with the sentiment of what you were saying but you need to brush up on your history and the detail. The Budapest Memorandum was not an assurance . Plus Ukraine had absolutely zero control over the weapons, and it was very much in their interest for them not to have them rusting away on their territory .
NATO was never in the agreement. Have you read the memorandum? It isn't long nor complicated. 1) The memorandum stipulated that the UK, US, and Russia would bring any violation of Ukraine's sovereignty in front of the United Nations. That was promptly done. Russia vetoed the UN vote that would have authorized actions against Russia. 2) The memorandum provided assurances of Ukraine's sovereignty and boarders but not guarantees. Guarantees in diplomatic language are promises to enter a war if the guaranteed party is attacked. Assurances are promises to provided aid, bring the matter before the UN, and other similar types of actions. The Budapest Memorandum very clearly did not provide guarantees. Ukraine knew this at the time. 3) The Budapest Memorandum wasn't a treaty. The US did not ratify it in Congress. It was effectively an executive order by President Clinton. No president after Clinton has any obligation to it. Putin reaffirmed the Budapest Memorandum in the early 2000s, so he clearly violated it. The US that was under no obligation of the memorandum after Clinton left office and has upheld their agreement to the letter. The US and UK promptly brought the issue in front of the UN, issued sanctions, and provided military aid. Europe continued buying oil from Russia for YEARS after Russia invaded Ukraine. Germany kept building new pipelines from Russia even after Crimea was invaded (the US vetoed the building of one of those pipelines for years). The shameful countries here are Russia, Germany, and other central European countries. Both sides need to stop referencing agreements and treaties they don't understand.
@@dutchrjen Excellent, luminously clear exposition of current situation / reality. I'm guessing you are either a historian, lawyer, or senior civil servant to have written it. 💯👍
The problem is that a ceasefire now isn't in the best interest of Ukraine at all. Putin is never going to retreat from the occupied regions unless he's kicked out by force. And that is only going to happen if Russia's economy collapses and drags their military down with it. As long as Ukraine can lure Russia into continuing to fight offensively and chase pyrrhic victories, the should be able to keep the fighting up much longer than Russia can.
Wishful thinking but reality is calling and it's too early ☕. The truth is, without us troops Ukraine is lost, with US troops the world is lost. Tough predicament we find ourselves in, and for what? To expand the empire further?
@ Putin’s president term ran out 17 years ago, but he is still sitting in Kremlin. Anyways get educated and informed about the Ukrainian constitution where is written that president cannot be changed if the country is in war. So Zelensky is the legitimate president of Ukraine and there is democracy in Ukraine. On the other side there is no democracy in Russia as there is no democratic country in the entire world keeping the same president 23 years. Only dictators can rig presidential elections in order to sit endlessly in the president chair.

Such arrogance. Look at that creature mouthing off, the tone of voice , the gestures and compare that to Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik or the two young lads from the UK with what they are doing. There is no comparison.
Times Radio, "Putin faces crippling sanctions or US troops if he won't agree to ceasefire, warns Trump" When did Trump say anything about "US Troops"? Why did you put that in the title of your video?!
I'am sure that's all part of an excellent, incredibly good, ingenious masterplan. The very best plan the whole world ever has seen. Brilliant! Too bad he forgot him. But fortunately he told Biden in time, so certainly one of the two will remember one day. Perhaps.
I don't think that Trump 'placing cards face up on the table' has any value. Trump says a lot of things, but you only know what he will do when he actually does it. He can flip in an instant, he is impredictible. So we can only judge on wether he can actually handle Putin when all is done. And even then, it depends on what you mean by 'handling Putin'. For example, what if form the point of view of Trump, 'handling Putin' means giving him whatever he wants and completely disengaging from Europe and Nato? Or going full in and waging actual war against Russia? We don't know yet what he thinks and what he wants, that is the problem.
Trump threatened tariffs and sanctions on the OTHER countries that are supporting Russia. Anyone buying or selling to Russia is on the list. And Trump said he “could” end the war in 24 hours. There’s many countries around the world thanking their lucky stars he didn’t, including Ukraine.
As it is false that the US spends more than European nations. It ranks around no 25 in aid as measures in % of GDP. The measure we use to compare things like spendings between nations. I mean, obviously Estonia with 0,003 the population of the US in no way can provide the same money. Then we have the fact that the $ is a financial bubble upheld thanks to, among other things, European governments and private investors. And when we compare % of GDP we use a translation into $. If this weren’t so, and the $ would deflate (as some predict it will), the EU’s GDP in $ would increase drastically. Meaning that even in total sum the Europeans nations spendings in total can surpass the US.
I don't think the retired Brigidier General is following the Russia-Ukraine War as much as he says he is. He totally left out Europe from the ceasefire discussion. He doesn't even talk about Starmer's 100 year support pact and he gives us a boring lecture on Putin being a nationalist!
The interviewing lady should limit herself to one question at the time, She is elaborating and elaborating and has forgotten that she asks why Lavrov is the important man and not Putin. A good interviewer talks less and is assuring him or herself that questinos are answered. She did not!
He doesn't give President Zelensky the honour of addressing him by his proper title, but he does call Putin "President Putin" psychology, he sees Putin as big man and Zelensky as little man . 😢

POOR AID from the US! From January 24, 2022, to June 30, 2024, the European Union (EU) and its member states provided approximately 118 billion euros in aid to Ukraine1. In comparison, the United States contributed around 75.1 billion euros2. To put this into perspective, Europe has contributed about 61% of the total aid, while the U.S. has provided around 39%3. While President Trump claims that the United States has spent $200 billion on Ukraine, it's crucial to consider the broader context of international responsibility and the disproportionate burden borne by Europe. Firstly, the refugee crisis resulting from conflicts, including those influenced by U.S. foreign policy, has seen Europe taking in a significantly higher number of refugees compared to the United States. For instance, during the Syrian civil war, European countries accepted millions of refugees, while the U.S. admitted a relatively small number. This disparity highlights the uneven distribution of humanitarian responsibilities. Secondly, the financial costs incurred by European nations in managing the influx of refugees and providing them with essential services far exceed the monetary contributions made by the U.S. towards conflict zones. The economic strain on European countries includes not only immediate humanitarian aid but also long-term integration efforts, which are substantial. Moreover, many of the conflicts that have led to large-scale displacement and instability have been significantly influenced by U.S. military interventions. Therefore, it is only fair that the U.S. should share a more equitable portion of the responsibility, including accepting a larger number of refugees and providing sustained support to alleviate the pressures on Europe. In conclusion, while financial aid is crucial, it is equally important for the U.S. to acknowledge and act upon its broader responsibilities. This includes taking in more refugees and supporting international efforts to manage the consequences of conflicts, many of which have roots in U.S. foreign policy decisions.

Why is it these Times Radio interviewers can’t ask shorter, more precise questions without adding a lot of unnecessary explanations and fluff regarding their questions???
Chances of a settlement between Russia and Ukraine satisfactory to both parties were always slim (10%). Now that Trump is involved chances of a satisfactory settlement are close to zero (with the chances of things spiraling out of control, now that Biden is gone, way up (75%)).
We have already sanctioned the life out of Russia, and it has not changed things one bit. What does he intend to sanction that hasn't already been sanctioned?
Tariffs and sanctions only work if one buys a lot of products from a particular country. How much oil and gas does the US buy from Russia. How many manufactured foods or agricultural products. If you are still supporting Russia buy importing their products, Please stop, or apply sanctions.

The problem is that a ceasefire now isn't in the best interest of Ukraine at all. Putin is never going to retreat from the occupied regions unless he's kicked out by force. And that is only going to happen if Russia's economy collapses and drags their military down with it. As long as Ukraine can lure Russia into continuing to fight offensively and chase pyrrhic victories, the should be able to keep the fighting up much longer than Russia can.
It looks as if the orcs will be on the back foot very soon,if Ukraine keeps at them.
I agree in that assessment. Russia is on fall. That would default Ukraines borders to 1991.
Wishful thinking but reality is calling and it's too early ☕. The truth is, without us troops Ukraine is lost, with US troops the world is lost. Tough predicament we find ourselves in, and for what? To expand the empire further?
Does this guy really think Lavrov has some influence on Russia's foreign policy? 😂 you think Lavrov is calling shots? 😂
If Gromyko saw how Lavrov operates he would turn in his grave. Lying is second nature to him.
Kira beautiful and smart young woman. People like her are the future of the democracy.
Slava Ukraini...!!!
There`s no democracy in Ukraine,Zelensky`s presidential term ran out on 20 may 2024.
@ Putin’s president term ran out 17 years ago, but he is still sitting in Kremlin. Anyways get educated and informed about the Ukrainian constitution where is written that president cannot be changed if the country is in war. So Zelensky is the legitimate president of Ukraine and there is democracy in Ukraine. On the other side there is no democracy in Russia as there is no democratic country in the entire world keeping the same president 23 years. Only dictators can rig presidential elections in order to sit endlessly in the president chair.

@@chriswilson3009 Because Putin obviously made elections impossible?
Seems like Trump's 24hrs is the same as Putin's timeframe for success in his 'not-so-special' military operation.
One is a dictator, the other a democratic leader with voters with 24 hour memory.
Such arrogance. Look at that creature mouthing off, the tone of voice , the gestures and compare that to Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik or the two young lads from the UK with what they are doing. There is no comparison.
What is it with the EU that they don’t like the idea of America having tariffs, quota restrictions and subsidies to equal theirs?
Agreed the EU must grow up. But I seriously doubt that Trump wants to be associated with success for Russia, North Korea, Iran and China.
Putin needs to face The Haig!!
Hague
As an american i would like to apologize to the world on behalf of this fascist buffoon of a president.
You should have apologized for the incompetent buffoon who pardoned his whole family.
A ceasefire will just allow them to start again later. We need the hard option Trump.
Trump is a baby
Trump is a self serving con man- but on the surface I support these actions (we’ll see if it’s more than hot air).
The next great Generation
Pretty sure when Trump speaks with Putin he will realise Putin is 100% the problem and not like his attitude one little bit.
Also, I seriously doubt that Trump wants to be associated with success for Russia, North Korea, Iran and China.
Sanctions will not worry Putin. But aid to Ukraine will.
Putin, is just as Israel, 100% insulated from effect/listen to anyone else
BUT themselves.
That is what Amerikan admire...
( Sweden )
Everyone benefits from aid. Contractors, couriers, advisors, analysts etc.
Fact
Times Radio, "Putin faces crippling sanctions or US troops if he won't agree to ceasefire, warns Trump"
When did Trump say anything about "US Troops"?
Why did you put that in the title of your video?!
Thus far, I am not convinced Trump can handle Putin. Trump has already placed too many cards face up on the table.
I'am sure that's all part of an excellent, incredibly good, ingenious masterplan. The very best plan the whole world ever has seen. Brilliant!
Too bad he forgot him.
But fortunately he told Biden in time, so certainly one of the two will remember one day. Perhaps.
I don't think that Trump 'placing cards face up on the table' has any value. Trump says a lot of things, but you only know what he will do when he actually does it. He can flip in an instant, he is impredictible. So we can only judge on wether he can actually handle Putin when all is done. And even then, it depends on what you mean by 'handling Putin'. For example, what if form the point of view of Trump, 'handling Putin' means giving him whatever he wants and completely disengaging from Europe and Nato? Or going full in and waging actual war against Russia? We don't know yet what he thinks and what he wants, that is the problem.
That’s right, always pushing down, to get ahead in a small mind.
Trump will find that Putin will be hard to convince or agree to come to the table due to Trumps threats
No, he will find that one can't make deals with putin, and that is because he's a psychopath.
The West permitted Pootin to be Pootin there is no used car deal that Pootin will fall for. 😂😂😂😂
06:23 H needs to look at the NATO map. He might be in for a surprise.
The whole thing is shameful trump been blocking aid now he’s in give em everything just sad life losses
Times radio is much better than most of frontline comedians 😂😂
Putin: "Oh no. Trump is threatening to do what Biden already did. Scary, scary!!"
That’s all it took? Sanctions. Hide. Couldn’t of done that??
NATO AND EU MEMBERSHIP FOR UKRAINE NOW
Trump needs to grow up as a statesman
I'd settle for him just growing up.
Kinda like your candidate Kamala? 😂😂😂
At 78 it's all downhill
Tariffs? What does US import from Russia, can't be a lot. 24 hrs and the war will be ended... what happened to that promise?
Trump threatened tariffs and sanctions on the OTHER countries that are supporting Russia. Anyone buying or selling to Russia is on the list. And Trump said he “could” end the war in 24 hours. There’s many countries around the world thanking their lucky stars he didn’t, including Ukraine.
Biden just sanctioned Russian uranium,so I believe the only imports of any size are platinum and palladium
Lol. As if Turmoh can control everything
Still crying about losing the last election. 😅😅😅
What you mean"IF"!? ....he should be already!
Thumbs-down for giving Trump ability to present falsehood (0:39") that the 2020 was stolen.
As it is false that the US spends more than European nations. It ranks around no 25 in aid as measures in % of GDP. The measure we use to compare things like spendings between nations. I mean, obviously Estonia with 0,003 the population of the US in no way can provide the same money. Then we have the fact that the $ is a financial bubble upheld thanks to, among other things, European governments and private investors. And when we compare % of GDP we use a translation into $. If this weren’t so, and the $ would deflate (as some predict it will), the EU’s GDP in $ would increase drastically. Meaning that even in total sum the Europeans nations spendings in total can surpass the US.
It was stolen, Divoc 91 was released to allow it would be so! Only an idiot would assume no shenanigans, happened.
Trump talking bs as always
It could be worse , we could still have the senile old man rambling 💩. At least trump knows what he saying 😂

wow, Trump he can never accept a loss in anything. Not since he was closing casino's in Atlantic City. What a baby... LOL
Old man putin
I don't think the retired Brigidier General is following the Russia-Ukraine War as much as he says he is. He totally left out Europe from the ceasefire discussion. He doesn't even talk about Starmer's 100 year support pact and he gives us a boring lecture on Putin being a nationalist!
This is just nonsense,wishful thinking😏
Hes got the leverage of sending in. Troops
God he’s so dim. Geopolitics don’t recognise Oceans.

It’s a lot easier for me to walk up to your house than it is to swim to it.
The interviewing lady should limit herself to one question at the time, She is elaborating and elaborating and has forgotten that she asks why Lavrov is the important man and not Putin. A good interviewer talks less and is assuring him or herself that questinos are answered. She did not!
How much of this report is fact or an opinion being presented as facts?
Good Luck World, Trump is back in town🤠
No reparations? That's nuts!!!
Nothing was Rigged You , Won and Lost Fair and Square
he is already under sanctions
But the countries buying and selling to Russia are not. That’s who trump said he was going to tariff and sanction.
Yes hahahaha
He doesn't give President Zelensky the honour of addressing him by his proper title, but he does call Putin "President Putin" psychology, he sees Putin as big man and Zelensky as little man . 😢
NOTICE HOW GUMP HAS MET WITH ZELENSKY MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS FACE TO FACE , AND ALREADY SAYS putler IS WEAK AND DESTROYING RUZZIA . . . . . . i think you are inventing some significance where there is actually the reverse . . . .
And himself as somewhere inbetween?
It's galling and ironic that he should be calling poo-tin a President, when it was well documented by video evidence of the ballot boxes being tampered with.
Could also be a sign of friendship. I hear Putin titled president far too often in media that definitely not support him. He should be titled dictator Putin.
Why is he saying President Polinski?"
Speculation.
Trump never fails to entertain
Trump is old and boring.
@batman-cu1ep Trump never fails to entertain? Neither did Barnum and Bailey.
@@youroldmangaming8150 true, but in a very amusing and entertaining way! He easily surpasses Selensky even in his best days of his comedian career.
But he always fails in many other ways 😊
Does he need those ridiculous headphones?
Why doesn't here country stop the war.
I could never understand that they were sanctioning them with bits and pieces, shouldve just thrown all sanctions available.
Why the other countries needs to rule and put pressure on other countries.
Do not have to interfere.
Example now days i can’t put pressure on our own children.and wife.
What nato need right now is go ahead
This guy is not being totally honest about Ukrains position. They are more pragmatic about finding a solution to the occupied territories. Do not forget Kursk...
Only if Zelensky agrees.
POOR AID from the US!
From January 24, 2022, to June 30, 2024, the European Union (EU) and its member states provided approximately 118 billion euros in aid to Ukraine1. In comparison, the United States contributed around 75.1 billion euros2.
To put this into perspective, Europe has contributed about 61% of the total aid, while the U.S. has provided around 39%3.
While President Trump claims that the United States has spent $200 billion on Ukraine, it's crucial to consider the broader context of international responsibility and the disproportionate burden borne by Europe.
Firstly, the refugee crisis resulting from conflicts, including those influenced by U.S. foreign policy, has seen Europe taking in a significantly higher number of refugees compared to the United States. For instance, during the Syrian civil war, European countries accepted millions of refugees, while the U.S. admitted a relatively small number. This disparity highlights the uneven distribution of humanitarian responsibilities.
Secondly, the financial costs incurred by European nations in managing the influx of refugees and providing them with essential services far exceed the monetary contributions made by the U.S. towards conflict zones. The economic strain on European countries includes not only immediate humanitarian aid but also long-term integration efforts, which are substantial.
Moreover, many of the conflicts that have led to large-scale displacement and instability have been significantly influenced by U.S. military interventions. Therefore, it is only fair that the U.S. should share a more equitable portion of the responsibility, including accepting a larger number of refugees and providing sustained support to alleviate the pressures on Europe.
In conclusion, while financial aid is crucial, it is equally important for the U.S. to acknowledge and act upon its broader responsibilities. This includes taking in more refugees and supporting international efforts to manage the consequences of conflicts, many of which have roots in U.S. foreign policy decisions.
I disagree regarding Putin. I find him highly predictable (at least he has been over the past 3 years). One just needs to understand his disorder.
I totally agree. People from Ukraine, Poland and the baltics have total understanding of Putin. I'm amazed EU politicans never learn.

Who is this appeaser?
I watched Trumps speech myself and he definitely did not at any point even suggest US troops in ukraine, so im curious how Times came up with that
As a Brit I have to agree with him on the finance issue as Europe has not paid its fair share of NATO commitments.
But Europe paid and still is paying for most the refugees American warmongering has caused!
As a Sweden I agree. Europe must grow up. BUT, I seriously doubt that Trump wants to be associated with success for Russia, North Korea, Iran and China.
Why is it these Times Radio interviewers can’t ask shorter, more precise questions without adding a lot of unnecessary explanations and fluff regarding their questions???
I unachievable goals on the current battlefield…… from the US perspective. Goals that may be achieved without strength of arm though…….
😂😂😂😂comedy
Chances of a settlement between Russia and Ukraine satisfactory to both parties were always slim (10%). Now that Trump is involved chances of a satisfactory settlement are close to zero (with the chances of things spiraling out of control, now that Biden is gone, way up (75%)).
EU takes advantage of what ? Germany is taking advantage ? What 200 bn ? Promised or actually given ?
Don’t get ahead of your self
Wait a minute or two!
As Putin lies 100% of the time any negotiation is irrelevant.
Trump saying “Putin should make a deal” means ONLY “make a deal with me”, ie, bribe me. Period.
It appears he may have found a way to make money off of helping Ukraine
We have already sanctioned the life out of Russia, and it has not changed things one bit. What does he intend to sanction that hasn't already been sanctioned?
Tariffs and sanctions only work if one buys a lot of products from a particular country.
How much oil and gas does the US buy from Russia. How many manufactured foods or agricultural products. If you are still supporting Russia buy importing their products, Please stop, or apply sanctions.
