11:14 "the Ukrainian perspective" should be the world perspective. Their perspective is that a nuclear power cannot just steal land, sovereignty, or independence from a non-nuclear country through military force. That should be every civilized country's position. Not uniquely Ukraine's. That type of equivocation is corrosive and favors that thing in the Kremlin.
@trumpforever6706 The rule comes with consequences. The rf is yet to face those consequences in a unified way - and they're STILL paying a huge cost. We'll see if the new US president is actually a tough guy.
@trumpforever6706 this is why NATO is a good thing. If russia is allowed to do what it is trying to do in Ukraine, then every small country near russia will think (or maybe realize) that they need nukes to protect themselves from russia. This accelerates a nuclear arms race. In the case of NATO countries, they don't need nukes, because they have nuclear powers protecting them (usually from russia, obviously) which helps to prevent proliferation of nuclear weapons, especially in smaller, less robust countries. Make sense?
NATO’s rules and regulations are ancient, and need to be updated, ie , for avnew membership like Ukraine into Nato , it shouldn’t be dependent on all members agreeing to this , a very well known concept in the world of democracy is , just hold a vote based on 50% plus 1 and Ukraine would be voted into Nato ,even if it is still at War , in Ukraine’s case Russia should be given notice to stop and withdraw, if they don’t than they would face the wrath of Nato . Keep it simple and with the times .🇨🇦

You might as well ask Putin’s US “useful fool” to give up as well. For someone as driven by their ego, like Putin or the US First Felon, it’s highly unlikely that they would ever, ever admit to making any mistakes. Putin did loose this war long ago. Every objective, especially discouraging NATO’s expansion that now includes Sweden, Norway, Finland and eventually Ukraine, were among his top goals. This war that he continues is meant more to ‘punish’ Ukraine, for making him look this weak and this wrong about his foreign policy for Russian expansion. He can not achieve those goals, regardless of how the war itself ends. All he has left is to throw this tantrum, and inflicting as much damage on Ukraine as he possibly can. And the Russian Government that has granted him this blank check, as much as it may be regretting all of this, is also trying desperately to find a way to save face! Putin will need to be removed as head of state before Russia is able to resolve this dilemma.
Cease fire is not an option and basically is not advisable at this stage. Mostly since medium range missiles launch in Russian territory has been allowed, Russian armies are in short of equipments, Russian economy is struggling.
Ukraine is plating the long game and Russia is playing the short game. Unfortunately for Russians, their short game is terrible and they haven't learned a damn thing.
@@johnnymcandrew Because Russia doesn't give a damn about casualty numbers, Ukraine does. If Russia cared even half as much about sustaining their troops in the field, they never would have started the damn war.

There was a time when Americans would support any country wanting to rid itself of a tyrant and become their own country.

They shouldnt be called "Putins Losses" because to him they are not losses in the right sense. To him they should be referred to as "Putins Wastages" Or "Putins exterminations"
Exactly. Everyone should condemn Putin for all his war crimes. The Russian people should turn against him now that his war crimes are also against Russians.
This commentator, Chip Chapman, supports his view with rationale ((eg Korean demilitarised zone precedent). Few other commentators have this level of professionalism. This places Chip, in my view, in the top tier of commentators on the Ukraine conflict
@@jamesgreen1116 Well let us enumerate 700,000 MIA, KIA or missing. 1000000 Russians emigrating to escape conscription. Lucrative oil and gas contracts with Western Europe. Several oil refineries. 10000s of military equipment. The ability of Russian elites to travel and enjoy assets in the West. Frozen State assets. The inability of the Russian President to travel to certain countries due to the ICC arrest warrant. etc.
It strikes me that Zelensky needs to convince Trump that Ukraine is a better potential trading partner than Russia and there is good US investment opportunities in a fully recovered Ukraine over one dissected with Russia,
@ there is often anattitude that diplomacy and democracy are some how connected, but there is a reasonable arguement that says do you wish Putin tp agree with you or do you want him to stop using aggression against others in his ideas of agreement. Personally I am content to see him disappear and an alternative put forward. I think the Chinese feel the same about Xi . Trump in my mind is a different beast .
I spoke to a Russian-speaking Ukrainian who said that growing up, he didn't have a strong Ukrainian identity and wouldn't have been that bothered if his city became part of Russia. However, Putin has made him feel more Ukrainian than ever. Each missile strike, power cut and death has made him more determined to never surrender. It's ironic that Putin has probably done more than anyone to create a united Ukraine.
Did I mishear this? "Wait until the mud of spring." That's when tanks and APCs get bogged down and force any advances to go along the roads, so no, don't wait for the mud of spring. And so much talking down of Ukraine's chances against the 'mighty Russian bear'. If you listen to people like Gen (Ret) Ben Hodges, he'd tell you Russia's gains had been relatively minor and had come at enormous cost to Russia in lives and materiel. Renewed gains in Kursk, of which the Russians had so far retaken only around 40% of the territory taken by the Ukranians in August, 2024, and not the 50% stated in this interview, not only force the Russians onto the back foot, while sending a message to the West that Ukraine is still capable of winning the war, but make Putin look increasingly weak among his own people, which, under the right set of circumstances, might lead to his removal from office.
So there's no magic wand where stating something makes it so, but everything Putin says regarding the state of the war should be trusted? The people trying to cling on to pre-election school of thought regarding Trump is nonsense and unwatchable. Jake Broe has made a much more realistic pivot on this; pay attention to the actions of both instead of trying to game out constant streams of hypotheticals from Trump, Putin, etc.
The US would be advised to be a close Ally of Ukraine as they have learned how to fight and have instituted new technologies that we could learn from. They could be an extremely resourceful and strategic Ally
The Korean model of a ceasefire on DMZ is a good example for Trump to present to Putin. The Americans guarding the DMZ didn’t violate the agreement and showed that they can be trusted by both sides. But because of Putin’s ego he might not agree with that.
13 days and counting down to TRUMP. Ukrainians have survived so far considering how it was in 24 feb 2022. The Air War in Ukraine is a Sci Fi book being written. British and Ukrainian cooperation is easier with UK out of EU and acting independently. Building close ties with Ukraine in making Drones (for example). Gets my vote. Slava Ukraini and God Save the King
Is Trump's role in negotiations being over-stated?. Ukraine is evolving and out-fighting Russia without a deal of support from the U.S., some would say that they have been held back.I have heard one commentator state that the U.S. has only delivered 10% of its promises.
Regarding people 'coming to the table,' it appears that negotiations about what happens in Ukraine will affect ALL of Western/Northern Europe (even though the war is in Ukraine), so around that table should be representatives of ALL countries that have provided aid to Ukraine.
If we do not support Ukraine 🇺🇦 wholeheartedly then we have already lost a criminal countries are sitting in the Security Council of the United Nations 🇺🇳. Countries are treated unequally in the UN 🇺🇳 and here new tensions will arise with unforeseeable consequences.
I must applaud The Times by finally providing some decent analysis on the state of the war. Too many times have we heard that Russia's on the brink or Putin is going to be deposed. In reality it's far more nuanced than that and your expert, Major-General Chapman backed up his claims with cold hard facts. So very well done and about time too.

Estimates of Russian losses in Ukraine vary widely, but recent reports indicate that Russia has suffered over 800,000 casualties (killed and wounded) since the invasion began in February 2022. This includes approximately 198,000 killed according to Ukrainian sources, though other estimates suggest a range of 120,000-208,700 deaths Putin has burned through the prisoners and kids from the sticks. Now he has to get the men from the urban areas… We’ll see how that works for him.
@@robertcook2572 ..they can independently hunt and destroy armored vehicles and individual soldiers - tasks which would have otherwise required a far greater investment in manpower - something Ukraine is short of.
Please note who the Actors and Actees are when you say X was Lost, or Y was Taken. It's confusing what with the back and forth of land being exchanged between Ukraine and Russia, and the names of various towns and regions are unfamiliar. I'm keeping up probably more than most and I'm confused at times ...
Never give Trump credit for negotiation skills. He's an idiot. Everyone knows he's an idiot. He will always be an idiot. He does have amazing skills as a carnival grifter.
Canada is not being annexed. Though if we don't get an election soon, and we don't see radical changes to fix the problems - I suspect a growing number of people in Canada would become perfectly alright with that plan.
@ Now that’s a statement. While obviously musing out loud about something is short of the actual act, folks might not want to be too fickle and casual about Canada’s sovereignty. It was hard-won and can be easily lost. The incoming Commander in Chief of the most powerful nation the world has ever known is actually pitching the idea. Canadians might wish to consider the extend to which they can and will preserve such a beautiful country after all, if you’re statement is accurate, no matter how badly the latest prime minister has messed things up. Slava Ukraini.
Trump can veto aid packages to Ukraine, but it won't gain him favour with Republican congressmen who do understand geopolitics. With the Trump cult at its peak, many backed Trump because going against the stream was highly detrimental to one's career, but they haven't taken leave of their senses altogether.
Significance is complex media wise it is very wise. Ukraine has their head on tactics and strategic issues. I constantly hope their special intelligence work directs choices of targets and actions. We rightly will not know this aspect. Ukraine's cause is just and will impact the world winning this war. I experience tolls on my comments, which is a compliment of sorts to me. Great reporting!
trump like winning and bragging he won....so will support ukraine to get his bragging rights, legacy...and in the history books forever as the president who beat putin, russia, and won Cold War 2
When will people stop crediting Trump on that book? He had it written, Tony Schwartz has spoken on the process and Trump has been given far too much credit on it.
? What is the Russian rates of manufacturing tanks and armaments in Siberian factories ? ?How many thousands of artillery shells don’t fire that are produced in Ukrainian factories? For Ukraine to win in 2025, the NATO countries need to double the armaments and funds gifted to Ukraine. Do combined arms - -> coordination of ground forces with missiles, drones, and fighter jet aircraft. Secure Crimea and qualify Ukraine to join the European Union; opens security for foreign investors to do investments.
I agree with the Major General’s assessment. Neither Ukraine nor Russia seems likely to back down. Ukraine will continue fighting, with or without U.S. weapons-though it would certainly prefer U.S. support, it can still rely on the EU. Similarly, Russia will press on regardless of American involvement in arming Ukraine. A new wave of conscription would be unpopular and the structural damage to the economy due to sanction would worsen, but Putin appears willing to risk those consequences to achieve victory. At this point, the two sides are simply too far apart to negotiate a peace.
Giving Ukraine everything it needs to win this war and Ukrainian integration into NATO and the EU is the west’s best self defense.Anything less will not bring peace and reconstruction to Ukraine.

At the start of year 3 the loses seem not to matter to Putin . I bet he never lost sleep over the dead.
of course - those are just worthless serfs to him
Happy New Year to You and Thank You General!!!
I don't know about his other losses, but he lost his mind years ago.
Russian mechanized units now comprise of prisoners piggy backing on North Korean soldiers.
Have been saying Russian losses are crippling for a long time now. But that said guess there must be a tip over point at some time.
If the losses are crippling why are they crippled ?
Please note who the Actors and Actees are when you say X was Lost, or Y was Taken. It's confusing what with the back and forth of land being exchanged between Ukraine and Russia, and the names of various towns and regions are unfamiliar. I'm keeping up probably more than most and I'm confused at times ...
Never give Trump credit for negotiation skills. He's an idiot. Everyone knows he's an idiot. He will always be an idiot. He does have amazing skills as a carnival grifter.
He is a billionaire,are you?
@@paulmasterson386he knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Trump is also very skillful in licking Putin's boots
@@paulmasterson386Yes, he was shrewd enough to inherit his wealth.
@@paulmasterson386he inherited that, kid
Canada is watching very carefully as its powerful southern neighbour openly muses about annexation in the name of prosperity, freedom, and defence.
Canada is not being annexed. Though if we don't get an election soon, and we don't see radical changes to fix the problems - I suspect a growing number of people in Canada would become perfectly alright with that plan.
@ Now that’s a statement. While obviously musing out loud about something is short of the actual act, folks might not want to be too fickle and casual about Canada’s sovereignty. It was hard-won and can be easily lost.
The incoming Commander in Chief of the most powerful nation the world has ever known is actually pitching the idea. Canadians might wish to consider the extend to which they can and will preserve such a beautiful country after all, if you’re statement is accurate, no matter how badly the latest prime minister has messed things up.
Slava Ukraini.
Great to hear from someone who really knows what they're talking about rather than the bluster from lower ranks
I don’t think Trump, while threatening Canada, Mexico, Greenland, and the Panama Canal, has much interest in peace negotiations between anyone.
Refreshing that the interviewee isn't sitting in front of his book collection
What I’m worried about is that trump may lift sanctions on Russia, is that possible and is there a way to stop him from doing that?
It is difficult, but possible. Congress could attempt to stop Trump from lifting, but Republicans have majority in both House and Senate.
Trump can veto aid packages to Ukraine, but it won't gain him favour with Republican congressmen who do understand geopolitics. With the Trump cult at its peak, many backed Trump because going against the stream was highly detrimental to one's career, but they haven't taken leave of their senses altogether.
Significance is complex media wise it is very wise. Ukraine has their head on tactics and strategic issues. I constantly hope their special intelligence work directs choices of targets and actions. We rightly will not know this aspect. Ukraine's cause is just and will impact the world winning this war. I experience tolls on my comments, which is a compliment of sorts to me. Great reporting!
The caption should read Voldemort Putin.
Starts at 1:20
I appreciate sane reporting!
Why am I censored for speaking in the same context and manner as everyone else? Yt stop trolling your users.
This guy sounds like he is rooting for Putin .
I'm tired of hearing people say this level of loss is unsustainable.
Be patient... Putin's fall is near.
Putin sitting on his Branch and cutting. High up.
Putin sends his newly cracked troops in their wheelchairs to storm the front lines……
I wouldn't trust Trump one bit.
Trump was impeached for withholding aid to Ukraine. He made the deal with the Taliban (and without the Afghan government) for US withdrawal...
No one in their right mind would.
He's a con man and an idiot
trump like winning and bragging he won....so will support ukraine to get his bragging rights, legacy...and in the history books forever as the president who beat putin, russia, and won Cold War 2
Transnitria has a lot of old equipment.
"russias losses are unsustainable bla, bla, bla" I wish they were, be I've been hearing this for 2 years, yet they seem sustainable...
Learn what the word sustainable means...
Why do you start with a clip from the middle. So frustrating,
What happened to the agreement made with Ukraine when they gave up their Nuclear weapons?
They say this every year. I guarantee you in ten years from now, this will still be going on.
And in ten years, Russia still hasn't been able to take the Donbas region...
So much for a 3-day war
When will people stop crediting Trump on that book? He had it written, Tony Schwartz has spoken on the process and Trump has been given far too much credit on it.
nobody cares.
Rf comes with Ladas, Ladas do not end
? What is the Russian rates of manufacturing tanks and armaments in Siberian factories ? ?How many thousands of artillery shells don’t fire that are produced in Ukrainian factories? For Ukraine to win in 2025, the NATO countries need to double the armaments and funds gifted to Ukraine. Do combined arms - -> coordination of ground forces with missiles, drones, and fighter jet aircraft. Secure Crimea and qualify Ukraine to join the European Union; opens security for foreign investors to do investments.
I agree with the Major General’s assessment. Neither Ukraine nor Russia seems likely to back down. Ukraine will continue fighting, with or without U.S. weapons-though it would certainly prefer U.S. support, it can still rely on the EU. Similarly, Russia will press on regardless of American involvement in arming Ukraine. A new wave of conscription would be unpopular and the structural damage to the economy due to sanction would worsen, but Putin appears willing to risk those consequences to achieve victory. At this point, the two sides are simply too far apart to negotiate a peace.
Where are these big gains of the "surprise offensive" exactly?
James Hanson is my favorite interviewer. 19:02:
A mere flesh wound.
I've had worse!
21:53 that is a great question
Does anyone else fast forward ⏩ when reporter talks 😂
F.D.T.
We (Ukrainians) will not turn on our country and walk off the battlefield defending our country, family and society.
So, the three-day "special operation" initiated by the terrorist aggressor appears to be ongoing ..............
To them God is for them only..and nothing less
I find it weird there’s no understanding in this interview that Putin has very unusual leverage over Trump whereas Zelensky does not.
The Kursk counteroffensive is a major gamble for Ukraine.
