@Tophat
I recognize your account/profile picture from TCL Clips channel ... his Crimean bridge/Putin's birthday present video is still one of my favourites.
& Yes I know it's immature but I truly hoped the war would be over, boy was I wrong.
@@Anita-k Oh yeah, that would have been me.
God, it's not immature to hope the war will be over. Far from it, war is pure horror and suffering.
If the war carries on as it is it should be over sometime next year with the liberation of Crimea probably coming last. Ukraine has what Gen. Hodges calls "irreversible momentum".
If the bridge had been completely destroyed that would have shortened the war by months. Hopefully they'll have another crack at it.
I think they are giving Brenner way to much credence. They state that Elon denies this, but after that disclaimer, they are on to assuming it's true. That is not Journalism.
Yet again a very informative blog of what's happening at the sharp end of this terrible war in Ukraine, please keep up broadcast. Chris NZ
Love your reporting! Daily listener, so grateful for your awesome work!
Same here, from Across the Pond. Keep 'em coming.
Grateful for these podcasts! Thanks from the North East USA.
The himars procurement is an obvious example that the a West must listen to Ukraine.. they know what they need, but the delays are excruciating.
Good analysis, corect&compact
Great coverage guys. Much appreciated.
Great coverage, always listen to "Ukraine: The latest"
Keep in mind who started the war . It’s not Ukraine that started this nightmare.
Wayne from USA
This is a brilliant podcast I listen to everyday. I saw it here on RUclips and just had to say how fantastic it is as I can't do that fora podcast.
excellent coverage
Thanks 👍 a lot for doing this work, helps a lot for the ucranians who leave outside ...like me in Costa Rica and we want to avoid the Russian propaganda .
Nice to hear Boris again.
This is the very best coverage of the war imho
the bridge explosion was precisely timed. the resulting passing train fire wasn't coincidental.
I agree.....but evidently this train had been stationary for several hours. I don't find it to be a coincidence but maybe that was part of the plan to do this wherever the train was? It will be interesting when we get more details about this and the Nordstream pipeline also. .... and 1000 other questions that we don't currently have the answers to.
@@markb8468 didn't know that the fuel laden train had been stationary for several hours ... feels implausible.
@@stevenreiff4442 either way, the explosion was clearly done to be proximate to the train.
I think the train must have been stopped or at least at crawling speed. . Otherwise there would have been a trail of fire .
@@markb8468 precise timing requires more sophistication.
Thanks for the update guys. What’s your thoughts on Belarus really getting involved?
It's very dangerous. Not that Belarus is a dangerous power, but presently western Ukraine is lightly defended. The bulk of Ukraine's forces are in the east, and these are the most experienced fighters armed with the best equipment. A Belarus and Russian thrust (Russia is reportedly sending troops to Belarus) in the west risks cutting Ukraine off from its Nato supplied munitions and weapons as well as food, fuel, medicine, and all the other essentials. Ukraine is chock full of courage, cunning, and will, but sustaining the warfighter is vital to keep the effort going.
Who can guess?...Belarus will bend the knee or continue to blow in the wind for Putin.
A commentator said that many of the hackers have left Russia to avoid the draft
I'm sure they would be exempted
Can't imagine many of them would be fighting fit lol
Amazing coverage!!!
No one talks about that Poland has ATACMS. America hasn't given Ukraine any maybe someone else has
Been thinking a lot about Poland lately. And the historical scoresheet. And their maritime…subject matter expertise.
Kamikazi is so descriptive: we understand it's not designed to return
Great analysis, as usual.
Spineless mercantile? Just say Elon Musk already.
Musks issue is his new giga factory in Berlin. With gas in short supply/expensive building the factory in Germany looks like a bad call.
Thankyou.
Ukraine war also provides an excellent opportunity to develop new war fighting methods, tactics and weapons to counter rogue states like ruz.
As a starting point clearly there is a need for better counter artillery and maintaining air superiority in the face of drones.
Tactics as an ex service man i have always been told to get the guys in command as fast first.
I find it heart breaking that brother fights brother, families are torn apart and so many people have to die on BOTH sides because of crazy Putin…..
Slava Ukraine. Glory to the heroes.
Yes, families are being torn apart by a fascistic war that most Russians support. But let's view things clearly- Ukrainians and Russians are not brothers. Russians, in their imagination at least, have historically looked at Ukrainians as younger siblings. Yet in practice, the actions of the NKVD and Red Army during the Holodomor & WW2 are the opposite of a brotherly attitude. And the atrocities committed in 2022 by the Russian Army on Ukrainian civilians (Bucha, Irpin, Valnovakha, Mariupol, Izium, anywhere the Russian army has occupied, Filtration Camps, the list goes on) are consistent with their historical treatment of people the Russian soldiers view as subhuman, not brothers.
The Investigative Committee of Russia has put out a lot of information regarding the Crimea bridge explosion which is not very typical of them but it is a super sensitive issue for the Russian people. This was a very complex scheme in which the final truck was involved only in the last leg of the operation. A container of palletes loaded with rolls of plastic left Odessa and went to Bolgaria. From there it was shipped to Georgia by water and from there went to Armenia. In Armenia the load cleared customs in accordance with the Eurasian Economic Union rules, I assume that's where the Armenian citizen came in who committed a crime by improperly clearing a shipment that had originated outside of the EEU. At that point completely new documents were issued indicating a new shipper and receiver. The load was placed on a truck and driven to Georgia and then Russia. It was delivered to a warehouse in Krasnodar region. On october 7 one of the suspects hired the truck and ordered a delivery to Crimea. With a brand new waybill. In Armenia the load was scanned, but the explosives didn't show up on the scan. So either the the rolls of plastic were effective in concealing it or the explosives used simply don't show on the type of scanning used. I have no doubt the ukranian SBU could design the scheme, but I have no doubt that they had "help" from certain organizations when it comes to the choice of explosive materials and the trick with the plastic rolls.
WOW. Think of all the planning that went into it. How did Riverside Gardens manage to get access to all this information??? How much of it is really true? Someone had to have talked. I hope everyone is still alive and safe.
The strange blast cloud with strips of light weight material (cellulite or plastic) mixed with the dust and smoke.
What go's up can come down no matter how strong it is, there is always a weak part such can be an under water operation.
that train was parked for several hours in just the right spot to be hit by the flaming wreckage of the truck trailer. ???????? what the heck?.
enjoyable program
Excellent commentary.”Paramedics burnt alive” really struck me 😣
Is the United States prepared to help Ukraine clean up radioactive fallout? always ready.
No one knows their onions like this podcast.
????
I would love to hear their opinion on the possibility of removing Russia from the security council of the UN. Thus removing their veto, with consideration to the fact that it was the Soviet Union that was made a permanent member, and the Soviet Union no longer exists. Russia only constituted a part of the Soviet Union, so why aren't Ukraine and Kazakhstan to name but 2 given the same privilege?
It looks like Ukraine is in it, to win it. What will it take to stop it? This is what we (Americans) needed when the Taliban moved back in to Afghanistan. Afghanistan security forces with the fighting spirit of the Ukrainians. Billions of our tax dollars went into that quick surrender. What an incredible waste of time, money, and life we put in, in support of the defense of people who didn't appreciate us. God bless Ukraine and those fighting and dieing to keep it the Ukraine.
This comment should be removed because its made by an American Cow Boy who States they didn't appreciate our help.
There's video showing two separate spans of the bridge collapsed.
Already being repaired
Btw
Crossing was not affected since there always were 2 lanes active at any point
On the other hand.. how is the rain in kiev ?
@MandoCoolcat: I heard that UK was involved. Grayzone reports. I have not checked the report yet.
In Dom's defense, if a man does not know his own onions whose onions would he know?
A man without onions is a man without soul
A man without onions is a man with only tripe !
The fact Putin thinks Steven Segal represents the ideals of a substantial portion of the population of the U.S. (cuz he doesn't) is just more evidence of how delusional Putin actually is lol
"One-way" says nothing about the weapon's purpose.
There was a definitive large bow wake under the bridge span ?
A small one and not distinctive - could have been a reflection
Don’t truck bombs make a crater in the road? Wasn’t the road section moved sideways? How does a bomb on top move the road sideways? Isn’t there a frame showing the explosion and the intact truck?
Negotiate? How? With who? Who can trust Putin and Russia- as the discussion of Musk bad ideas- as Ben Hodges says- discuss on the battlefield
The most likely was they hired a a patsy who had no idea he was carrying a huge load of explosives . They gave no thought to the loss of life of non combatants.
Has anyone noticed that Ukraine officials have not asked for long range missiles are for sometime now! I Just find it very interesting!
They are very clever in modifying systems, maybe they made their own.
Why waste their breath when they know what the answer will be. The US is well aware of how much they're wanted and needed and 🤞🤞will hopefully give them before it's too late. What's extremely important now, is to get that clown Musk off his patootie and give the Ukrainians access to Starlink again
So, GPS chips that use all 4 major systems (GPS, Glonass, Beidou, and Galileo) are cheap and widely available (my 2 year old phone uses 3 of these). So a country that is home to the Anotonovsky design bureau (largest transport aircraft built) should not find it difficult to build extremely accurate long range drones. People forget, aircraft turbines and rocket engines were designed and built in Ukraine, as well as ICBMs. It is just a matter of time. People make out like Ukraine is some third world country without any expertise and capability, nothing could be farther from the truth.
@Tony Laemmle: I heard USA did supply Ukraine with long-range missiles.
@@sballantine8127 : It is not Musk who withheld Starlink. Russia is jaming the signals. Remember, Starlink needs an on-the-ground relay to receive signals.
It's a bit worrying that Elon Musk has jointly set his sights on being master of the social media landscape and architect of global security. Will the temptation to use that power to bring people round to his "plan" prove too much? 🤔
He seems big on votes. I vote for his wealth to be redistributed amongst the poorest people on the planet.
Musk should stfu and focus on his satellite trains and leave Geopolitics to the Military Professionals and Specialists.
Musk isn't Ukrainian has no family living in Ukraine, support and assist where possible but don't pip up your thoughts as they undermine good/excellent work being done on the ground.
@abigail eggleston: Musk's solution for Ukraine/Russia is the Minsk Agreement signed by Ukraine and Eastern Ukraine with France and Germany signatory guarantors. Ukraine didn't implement the Minsk agreement and France and Germany did not compel Ukraine like they were supposed to. Why? USA didn't want Ukraine to implement the Minsk Agreement. Yes, USA is the trouble maker around globe and an evil doer.
My two pennies worth. Maybe Russian armament being transported discretely using civilian lorries to hide from Ukrainian targeting. If this has become a common method for transporting arms for Russia, a simple 'car bomb' strategically attached timed to go off along the journey would achieve the desired effect. This is a 12 mile bridge and so the journey will be 20 mins or so. This is a Russian lorry that cleared security to use the bridge which really means explosives of sufficient quantity was allowed through.
@Datsun Li: I heard, Russia has arrested 5 Russians and 3 foreign suspects.
I'm here for doms onions
Why 3 adds in 10 minutes? I'm trying to fall asleep to this!
Cyberattacks: We may never know the details. Microsoft has expended massive resources and every NATO nation's capabilities have been involved.
Microsoft is probably studying the threat in the process which is good.
Do it again I say 😮
Yes, attack bridge again and finish it off.
Except:
Presuming it was a truck bomb:
1. Russia will be inspecting every truck EXTREMELY carefully from now on.
2. I don’t know how the truck’s driver could survive. A brave mission, but a suicidal mission.
PS. Ideally somehow get explosives on a train and detonate while it’s crossing.
@David Rusen the explosive lorry could have been remotely controlled from a following vehicle. However, I suspect that _everyone_ on the bride after the event has been "interrogated" thoroughly.
The Kerch vehicle bridge lane demolition, I think was from a large bomb attached to the under side of the truck.
Cowardice & atrocities = drone warfare
on the Nuclear issue, the only reason they did not sue it so far s because the fallout is going to mess up Belarus his best ally and only ally in the region and his own northern provinces + a lot of European states
Just curios about the legal status of Wagner mercenaries, what happens to them if they are captured. Are they POW's? or do they face some form of punishment?
They can be tried as international terrorists as a group,, also any war crimes committed during this conflict or any other
@@peterbaker8443 Thanks for the update
The video showing a sea drone pushing an explosive barge is fairly clear. No truck. Nyet
Source?
Call them self terminating drones
Listening from Budapest. Any comments about the links between Hungary and Russia would be appreciated.
Hungary just has clever administration and they don't bend under the owners of Europe from the USA
Please Natalia take off the janglies
🇺🇦
May I suggest a new word "munitionable" UAV to describe the Iranian drone function? Secondly, what on earth is an Uninhabited AV, is unmanned no longer to be used.
Ukraine has already munitioned some of their munitionable drones with mortar shells and dropped said munitions on Russians.
Last sentence makes absolutely no sense
@@sballantine8127 in what sense? The correspondent was saying uninhabited aerial vehicle instead of unmanned, I know we all use the acronym UAV, and I was just wondering if it was a slip due to reporting or new nomenclature...perhaps I needed to rephrase it for what was a very informative report as usual..
Scenario: Putin launches nuke, Ukraine intercepts, puts nuclear warhead on Truck, takes it to Moscow, and blows up the Kremlin!
on a tractor dear chap. the tractor is King in Ukraine.
VBIEDs cant bring bridges down
"Russian MIR for $$$" (paid by Putin) said the ex-leader of Wagner.
They get a monthly salary of $5.000,- plus bonuses per square-kilometre and likely also for whole cities captured.
Not sure where I heard this, but it was a Russian source.
@Anita K: Wagner group is mercenary group aka contractor like Blackwater to USA.
@@elliekwong3180
I know, many countries have mercenaries as well, thanks. :D
Truck bomb? Very doubtful Shape charge with Centex 500 + lbs from below No damage to the top surface of the roadway plus look how it buckled. Inside job for sure.
oh my..... it is plain to see that the truck passes through the blast!!!
comments enabled on a telegraph video? Who knew 😂
Musk really needs to shut up. About everything. Becoming Rudy Giuliani😢
Russia is seeking to increase the size of its military by 137,000 to 1.15 million. U.S. officials have said that Russia has lost between 60,000 and 80,000 troops in its misguided war on Ukraine.Aug 29, 2022
And now they are sending the butcher, the baker the candlestick maker !
Has Ukraine taken responsibility or?
Send boys in simple
First
I would have thought that a group of secret service men would have been able to get the leader of this war.
which one?
Secret service - hah. This is a job for Delta. And they're smart enough to know exactly who to take out. I'd be shocked if they aren't working on it already. Not that they'd end up doing it, but they need to have a plan ready "just in case." Takes a lot of planning and time to set up a hit like this. Again, this in no way means they would actually do it.
An example of such operation is a film called the dirty dozen staring Lee Marvin with Charles Bronson ,Telly Savala they were all jail birds.
@@georgebugeja1855 And what a Bull$hit movie it was. Hollywood farce !
Elon musk needs to shut his face,he has no good opinions in this situation
Sas
slava hunter zelinsky and ursul vonderbiden!!
Convincing fake news.
400+ Russian missiles in a go! Wow! Precision is at its highest! All the targets are accurately and smartly put out of use)) And the strikes have been continuing well into the night!))
Did they have this capability 24th February?
Also the Ukraine military has big stone's and mastered the west weapons Russian weapons look terrible. Who would've said the Russian army would run low or out of the basic ammo
When the three to four hundred thousand Russian soldiers take to the battle, thing are going to change in the course of the war, as for the first time Russian will have numerical advantage.
Take to the Ukrainian front with what?
200K, 300K of who...drunks, prisoners, OAPs, 45 plus year old.. University Students a man and his dog who?
Who's training them, how long is their training, Uniforms, boots, Body gear from where. Orcs sold the stuff they thought was in their inventory.
Orcs are spent.
@@ChuckAmadi Agree! If it these newly mobilized troops go to the front, will be a terrible slaughter.
I suspect Ukraine has an adequate supply of ammunition for their machine guns. Recreating the Somme more than 100 years later will do little good for Russia.
'Numerical advantage'?
With that many hapless drunken orc conscripts, russias already stretched supply lines and logistics the entire effort will collapse.
im thinking it was a hypersonic missle
@whats his head: USA/NATO don't have hypersonic missles. USA is behind Russia and China.
