Very informative. Thank you for a great interview. Slava Ukraini

Good interview 👍

Thank you very much for this very clear and informative interview! Unfortunately, it does not offer much hope: it seems rather improbable that newly developed Ukrainian drones could change the course of the war.
Zero appetite of the West agree 💯. Nice exchange of thoughts. Again this is a pearl!
To my opinion this nerve wracking waiting for action from the West is indeed all based on interdependency and
what is at stake concerning all kinds of interests, based on inmensely complex human build social, political and economic systems or structures and also their past. If some ‘puppet’ like “huhummm” will get a chance to get power over a country
and the power will be supported or acknowledged somehow by the ‘people’ around this (self) created leader (entourage) and ‘other countries’, it will be because there is something to gain or there is a lot to gain. The leader and entourage will do everything to gain more power as time goes by. How can those kind of ‘people’ do that? By making others dependent or making them think that they are dependent even by force! During this time we all had ‘cheap’ gas and oil and other stuff from Russia and vice versa. We all lived our luxury lives till war broke out. The same goes for the ‘puppet’s’ entourage, they support the puppet for as long the puppet provides in their luxury and their sick hunger for power over others. Propaganda, lies, keeping up appearences with the so called stakeholders, spreading hatred and above all fear are key elements for those huhummm ‘people’.
If one can find ways to break this circle, a circle which most of the time turns out into a cycle of ‘darkness’ for ordinary people who live in those kind of societies without direct links to the so called leader or self proclaimed leader, then the created system of power, hatred, fear, lies and extreme suppression, which only serves the ‘upper class’ of this kind of society, will hopefully collapse after some successful interventions and only if the stakeholders agree : those are the other countries (The West) who also benefited from this system . It still goes on and the world is really sick. What about weapon industry? Pfffffffffff. So it is good that Nordstream has been blown up, it is good that military airfields, some industrial targets and gas and oil stations are being constantly targeted by Ukraine and that they now create chaos in this evil ‘main system of Darkness’ called Kremlin. It will be even better if Ukraine gets the green light to use long distance missiles to help this center of evil crumble down ‘a bit faster’. I already have seen happy people in Russia with Ukrainian soldiers. That is a very good sign, but their lives are at stake, not ours. 🫶🏻🇺🇦😉That’s my humble opinion.
What if it's not possible to get a united strategy from Ukraine's partners? Is it impossible for Ukraine to win if support continues in the same drip and half hearted way it's been to date? I see absolutely no reason to believe Ukraine's allies are going to become more stalwart and supportive. If anything, there are a lot of reasons to think support from the West will decrease over time. Most of the East stuff has already been done, and very little action has been taken to ramp up armaments production.
Fight your own war that you wanted so much or surrender, don't drag us into your sht
