- In this episode of Battlegrounds, H.R. McMaster and Vladimir Milov discuss the war in Ukraine, the status of the Russian opposition, and prospects for the restoration of peace, Wednesday, April 10, 2024. Vladimir Milov, Russian opposition politician, publicist, economist, and former advisor to the late Russian opposition leaders Boris Nemtsov and Alexei Navalny, joins Hoover senior fellow H.R. McMaster to share insights on Russia’s recent presidential election, the state of political opposition in Russia, and the country’s war against Ukraine. A vocal critic of Vladimir Putin and the hypernationalist group of leaders who dominate the government, Milov reflects on the significance of Navalny’s recent murder, his own vision and the prospects for the opposition movement, and the effects of Russia’s war against Ukraine on the Russian people, its economy, and on Putin’s grip on power.

Vladimir Milov is so important person for me and my family. His opinion is very realistic. Thanks for this interview. We are russian. Stop war!
Нет войне.
Nice to see Vladimir Milov on English speaking sources like this channels. It's very worthwhile to deliver his point of view to international audiences.
Россия будет свободной! ✊
Россия будет Счастливой 🩷🩷🩷
Milov is great, I watch his every video on his channel 😊
Thank you General. Another highly informed conversation.
Vladimir is one of the russians who luckily tells the truth. It's important he was politically active in the 1990s. When his country was trying to build up its democracy.
@ab-gc5ei You mean when Russia fell apart...had terrorist attacks on its territory monthly or even weekly? When Russian men lost 10 years of life expectancy? That 90s?
Well… he doesn’t really tell the truth about national
Republics, like Tatarstan or North Caucasus. His look on Chechen war is imperialistic, while hundreds of thousands residents, who lives on North Caucasus, wants OUR FREEDOM, OUR LANDS, which is stolen. And the moment, when we try to unite by our religion, they call us terrorists. So please, don’t trust this man. He is not really better than Putin or others. The same imperialist, but with different plan
HR McMaster, thank you Sir for such a wonderful and informative interview! It is always refreshing to hear the Russian opposition’s perspective on this war versus all the Kremlin’s talking points that are being parroted daily by the MAGA crowd
Fantastic discussion, excellent summary, thank you.
Thanks General!

Outstanding interview. Everyone in the free world needs to hear this interview...
thank your for the discussion, very interesting
Thanks to both for this video.
Tucker Carlson's interview reminds me of the movie "The Interview" with John Franco interviewing Kim Jung Un!
Silly, ignorant, sycophantic patriot. Take off the jersey and see THE WORLD.
"we are same same, but different"
That was a bad interview by Tucker, but doesn’t mean we should blow up peace talks with Russia. There is some truth to the argument that we are provoking them. By encircling Russia in NATO and providing CIA intelligence to Ukraine since 2014 used for attacks on Russian proxies. Maybe the ship has already sailed, for partnership with Russia. All the goods and services the US and Europe were selling to Russia are now being provided by China. It’s really a shame this war happened, because now we really are enemies and don’t even trade with each other any more.
States need to wake up before its too late
I really like that the guest explained about Bohdan Xmelnytsky’s deal with Muscovy. Bravo!
Thank you once again for a masterful and exceptional interview offering one of a kind insights that only someone of the character and achievement of General HR could achieve. General HR for President!
Great conversation, Milov has a very profound knowledge of putinism. Invite him again!
Uh, the US and NATO changed European borders by force in 1999.
thanks general!
Наш слон
America is a country of 240 something years old but thinks it could teach Russia a country that has a civilization almost 2000 years old. America is a country Russia is a civilization so stop the debate.
Vladimir Milov is the second russian opposition politician after Alexy Navalny. Remember his name!
Navalny didn't support Ukraine's independence, he just opposed the current regime.
❤❤❤❤❤
Bosnia's borders were changed in the 90s (Serbians gained an entity covering 49% of the country), so Georgia was not the first border change.
It was in past century.
@@Royaltyfree1700-kb2qq The claim was since WWII which also was last century.
. This piece of bipartisan legislation recalled the historic program used by the United States during World War II to help supply its allies and ensure the defeat of Nazi Germany. Ukrainian diplomats worked hard to extend the Lend-Lease program beyond September 2023, but it expired on September 30.
I watched Tucker Carlson's interview, and while I can excuse not throwing hardball questions at Putin during an interview in Russia, I cannot excuse the obvious propaganda campaign Carlson went on afterwards, the grocery store video being the most egregious. Of course a dollar is going to go further in Russia because each one is worth 94 rubles. Tucker knows this, but he chose to run with that narrative anyway.
The United States is free and open?
Get some economists to talk about planned obsolescence and provide data on the annual depreciation of automobiles since Sputnik.
What do you mean, can?
H R what is your opinion on FISA?
I need to know
Very difficult to give a video like this the attention it deserves when I keep finding food missing from my refrigerator and pantry. If there is such a thing as calling off the dogs it needs to happen with respect to my refrigerator. I am not the neighborhood ATM.
As far as Putin is concerned, he seems extraordinarily insecure to me. He, and Xi as well (?), hang on too tightly. It's not a recipe for success, even if you had the right ingredients, which I don't think he does, no matter even if he hauled off my entire refrigerator.
What makes you think Tucker or any other reporter knows who Catherine the Great was or did? My experience with reporters is that they are all English and Journalism majors who know as little about history and natural science as possible. Have you ever seen a reporter talking about guns? They don't know a semi auto from a machine gun.
Tucker's not a reporter, nor a journalist, he's a useful idiot bordering on traitor... he should be locked up with Trump.
Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974.

So much gaslighting here. There were maybe 2000,3000 people who showed up for Navalniy's memorial in Moscow over a couple of days. In a city of 13 million people that is nothing. Second, Navalniy had very little following among ordinary Russians in the rest of the country. I encourage viewers to go to Sam's Russian Adventures right here on RUclips...he asks people about Navalniy and most by far has zero or negative opinion about the guy. And think about it, the dude was trained at Yale as a 'World Fellow'....can you imagine an American politician trained in Moscow. Also the 'noon against Putin' was pretty much a flop, with even anti-Putin sloggers such as Agent Nesty and the Russian independent media platform 'Redaktsiya' admitting such. Sure there were a few people in some places, but we are talking hundreds or maybe low thousands in a country of 144 million.
As for Putin's history...the 'color revolutions' were US orchestrated, extra legal overthrowing of governments. As was Majdan.
Haha…..The last 60 years has been about who’s wars?
I am much more skeptical of rus future and civil society.
Я - часть гражданского российского общества. Россияне хотят Свободы. Это видно было по очередям за Надеждина; на акции "Полдень против путина". И люди шли на похороны к Навальному, несмотря на опасность будущих репрессий.
By the way HR, when I refer to the idiots, I am not just talking about the political hacks in the civil government, I am also referring to their enablers in uniform in that five sided building across the river. After all, we expect our politicians to be political hacks, it is disconcerting to see the flag officers enabling their nonsense.
Russia will be free
I have real trouble understanding why Ukraine's manpower and munitions shortages are the fault of any other nation but their own. Ukraine did not get on a war footing starting in 2014 and they haven't even mobilized 1/10th of their population. In this sense, Ukraine isn't committed to its own defense. Ukraine needs to "sue for peace" before the situation gets even more dire.
Is assigning the blame more important than preventing Puting from taking over the Europe? Or do we refuse to learn from history?
It's not the fault but it's an obligation of the West (mainly the U.S. and UK) to support Ukraine according to Budapest memorandum.
According to Budapest memorandum Ukraine agreed to give away all of its nuclear weapons to Russia and became totally non-nuclear in military means. Meanwhile the U.S. and the U.K. guaranteed to protect and support Ukraine if ANY of the countries which signed the memorandum attempts to attack or invade Ukraine.
Russian Federation was also one of the signatories of the memorandum, years later now is attacking and invading Ukraine. So that's why it's totally OK for Ukraine to demand all kinds of support from the other signatories.
Да Украине не надо было идти на поводу у того же США, Великобритании и России, которые вместе уговорили Украину отказаться от ядерного оружия , взамен на неприкосновенность границ Украины и тогда США и Великобритания выступали гарантами устали ! Читайте Будапештский Меморандум! В этом мире нельзя верить никому! А то гарантировали, теперь «А что это они сами» 🤷♀️ Да была бы ядерная держава и шагу не шагнул бы никто в Украину!!!
and where exactly in Ukraine would you suggest the Ukrainians manufacture the munitions they need when they don't have either air superiority or enough missiles for the few Patriots the do have... nobody's stopping Russia's from bombing any city in Ukraine any day any time... you're propagating Russian narrative and should really think before you write.
much better is Caroline Galacteros, French commentator !!
Let’s be honest, the Congress is not the primary issue why support for Ukraine has been paused. Biden has over $4 billion to be used as aid for Ukraine, and he could use the Land Lease clause as well, but he decided not to do it. So, it is fully Biden’s fault that Ukraine is not getting the help it deserves from the USA.

America is a free society? 🤣
do they arrest you for liking a "wrong" post in America? No? Then, yes, it is a free society
@@fkldfeefejfwlj So russia is one too.
utterly and completely. free AF mate.
@@fkldfeefejfwlj you could totally go to jail if you'd share some anti-LGBT posts on the social media, in Russia you would go to jail for exactly the reverse position but both countries have the dominating agenda that rules on what you can and cannot say therefore fundamentaly the same.
@@Enucentro _you could totally go to jail if you'd share some anti-LGBT posts on the social media_
any proof on that?
Speaking of foreign influence, why is an American General all buddy-buddy with a right hand man of a late Russian opposition leader?
WTF are you smoking man... this was an exceptional interview... great respect for both HR and Vladimir Milov... more of these expositions are needed such that more Americans know the truth, namely Ukraine must win and Russia must lose... and the longer the hell on earth continued, the harder it gets. Listen to Gen Ben Hodges or to Polish FM Radek Sikorski (mentioned in the interview)... or to Fiona Hill, or Jade McGlynn, or anyone other than main stream media... the writing's on the wall... wake up America! and Canada too... you could be really great again if you just ship the GD ammo UA has been asking for since 2014.
Что значит "дружит"?
Ok, so far watched up to the end of the Robot voice and the first minute of the interview.
Only about ten factual errors - lies so far.
The invasion of Georgia was the first change of European borders...
Ok only three lies in that sentence, one Georgia isn't part of Europe, second, how about Serbia and Kosovo and NATO bombing the shit out of it to change borders - illegal bombing btw but hey NATO is defensive purely lol. And thirdly Georgia actually started the conflict militarily.
Next Russia struggles to put down the match on Moscow by Wagner, the entire thing was over within 24 hours. Hardly the storming of the Bastille was it.
The murder of Navalny - errrm even the head of the Ukranian secret service stated he wasn't murdered (Budanov).
Onto the guy, I was in Moscow - nobody gave a flying fuck about the death of Navalny, inside Russia h was a none entity. Putin unpopular - errrm since 22' everyone I knew who was neutral is now behind him. The exact opposite of what's portrayed by 'opposition figures'. Btw this guy himself is completely unknown inside Russia, he's an opposition figure in the western media alone. Funny to see these guys rolled out in the media like they are nelson Mandela though.
The permanent audience figures of Navalny channels being 15m inside Russia, oh yes very believable, again love to see him provide where he gets those figures from.
The guy is a western shill and supports the Ukraine in a conflict with his own country out of self interest.
Deteriorating living standards, errrm check out even western economic forecast, the opposite is happening.
A new low amongst lows from the Hoover institute.
Macmaster is an outright liar, Russia had one mobilisation of forner contract soldiers of 300k, the past year it's recruiting under contract 30k per month, every Independant source shows a casualty rate of around 8-10 to one in favour of Russia.
Anti war sentiment, errrm again it's the opposite, the mood is actually to escalate and end it as quickly as possible - remove the gloves, a mood that raised tenfold after the crocus attack.
The Ukraine is in its death throws, yet supposed neutral lol analysis groups like this are playing their fiddle whilst it burns.
But hey if the situation is so bad in Russia, why are all the pro Ukraine shills having breakdowns.
Btw - love the human waves attack trope, despite absolutely zero video evidence of this, in fact the exact opposite is seen, and given just how many videos we see from the Ukranian side, is it not odd to see no drone video ever depicting this oft quoted trope?
Why not ever invite somebody like Mearsheimer onto a show one day, have a true debate with a person whose not in the pay of the MIC. Nah macmaster often throws the coward comment out, whilst in fact he's an utter coward himself who hides from anybody who would tackle head on any of his factless claims and show him to be a pure propogandist.
@stephendyer5879. Thanks man...sometimes I think I'm the only one out here in the comments sections trying to combat the absolute BS from neocon and neolib channels.
I guess you didn't watch the interview.
The reason you don't see much in terms of opposition in russia is because of draconian laws that severely punish any decent. People were arrested for laying flowers... forget about protesting. New laws were invented to stop those that fled from talking against russia but seizing their remaining assets in russia.
Regarding russia's economy - just check the data from russian Central Bank. The inflation is crazy, people have triple loans with 20% interest rates. Gasprom and Rosneft are losing money. russian government is nationalizing (stealing) private corporations (Makfa is a recent example).
You mention that Ukrainians have higher losses. They can. They are defending their country. russian losses have no explanation - slaves doing the will of a dictator.
The whole modern world supports Ukraine. Only dictators support Russia.
Nice propaganda you have there
Чья? Милов - российский политик.

McMaster needs to retire again... Go enjoy a beach ⛱️ somewhere
Same propaganda 😂😂😂
A 40 minute podcast and not a single counterpoint. Just some emoticons. Is the GRU full of monkeys without brains?
@@AlmightyXI The people watches this fluff are not sane. This is propaganda.
In other words, you are thrilled by the 130,000 war crimes committed by your beloved Russia tyrant.
Does it lie and kill like Putin’s propaganda? No. So what is your problem?

Georgia is not Europe, it's not even part of the European Plain. Georgians certainly aren't Europeans, neither ethnically, nor mentally.
