Russia doesn't care about troop losses. Its equipment losses, on the other hand, are a BIG problem.
But Russia does care about troop losses, and that is provably the case, because it explains why they have conducted this operation so painstakingly slowly. IT IS YOU WHO DOESN'T CARE - YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THE TRUTH, YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE. All you care about is feeding your despicable hatred for Russia.
Very true. The equipment losses are great and signify that the Ukrainians are winning like they've done a dozen times. But it seems the Ukrainians give them their own things back . One gets impatient with the Ukrainians. When are they going to recover their lands. And not by moving backwards. What have they to show for the immense amount of money given?
This seems to be a site for British chaterers. Like in some pubs in Benidorm its mostly nonsense what they say, but its fun to hear British accents. And quite logical since there are more chaterers than soldiers in the British Army nowadays.
@@marioformosa4259 NO it's not very true, it's very untrue, and you'd admit that if you yourself were remotely interested in the truth. But then you'd have to also be remotely interested in the welfare of the Ukrainian people, which you are manifestly not. But then, how else could someone be when they so utterly arrogant as to talk about others as speaking 'mostly nonsense', whilst remaining completely oblivious to their own abject ignorance.

I am a pure British and I am maybe rethinking we should like mister Putin, not fight hims. Then we could have much wealth here in Britain
@@dpelpal 🤣
@@dpelpal You shouldn't have left the EU, then you would not have lost so much wealth.
Russia isn't afraid of NATO, if they were they wouldn't be in Ukraine. The fact that they can comfortably throw most of their army and a huge amount of their resources into Ukraine, leaving pretty much nothing to defend against "NATO" with, tells me they really aren't that concerned.
Yes, they were never worried about the defense alliance NATO, only concerned about countering the economic power of the EU.
I am Russian. I defected Russia when I received draft letter to fight in Ukraine 2 years ago. I was terrified and devastated,my whole life flashed before my eyes. Now I face 12 years for treason, and was placed at government's terrorist list along with ISIS, Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. I worked as software engineer in insurance company. I applied for asylum in Canada. Now I work as Data Analyst. Majority of Russians hate Putin and aren't very supportive of war. All my friends and relatives who still in Russia hate Putin, and people who work at draft centers also have mental breakdowns since they dont want to send people to meatgrinder and be responsible for someone else's death. Nobody buying Putin's propaganda in Russia. War only supported by elders and people who work for government. Even war correspondents who used to be staunch Putin's supporters and put a lot of efforts to advertise this war and made it appealing to young generation now starting expose truth about war: amount of russian loses, inproficiency of russian officers, senselessness of war, dire consiquence for Russia and telling to young men not to come to fight in Ukraine. If putin will die this war will end right away, since nobody in russia interested at fighting with Ukraine and hating the west.
too many of you ran away instead of revolting against Putin or going along with it. I disagree, many Russians I speak to believe the propaganda 100% which is shameful.
Sounds like you're a frightened coward.🤡
Haha. Well said John

Man, the Russian trolls are starting to hit the chats here. It seems like it's all over. They are using a bot software, kind of genius, until people get hip to it. One of the Ukrainian military personnel was talking about it in an interview I heard a little while back. Keep up the good work, Times, from your American brothers and sisters with ❤.
Excellent interview, thank you.

Of course its sustainable - the reason - Putin and the general population simply dont care and live in ignorance.
pretty much like us in the US/EU and the UK

It is not population / manpower that will run out - there are plenty of poor foreigners that can be lured or 'donated' buy poor allies of russia, but their military hardware, logistics and infrastructure that cannot sustain this war.
Hardware can easily be donated too
@@serikmiha8335 One donates to a good cause. I'm not convinced that Iran and North Korea will donate to an oil-producing country much richer than they are...and is the aggressor. They are more than happy to sell to Russia, though.

As a commander, having the F-16 in the air-space is a massive boost. Just knowing that they have eyes on targets is such a moralizing factor. Ground troops will feel so much move willing to press on. It is a game changer, because it is the best they have got! Russia will soon find out!

I'm hoping that what is being said in this interview about Russian difficulties on the battlefield and Putins homefront problems are true. Would like to see these positive statements verified.
It's false, Ukraine has been losing ground for months.
Putin is now offering mothers two 10lb bags of potatoes for every child they turn over to the war department.
The U.S. population in 1938 was 131 million, approximately the same as the Russian Federation today. We lost 407,000 military to all causes.

Good interviewer and interviewee! 😊👍
I very much appreciate the comments of Hamish. Yet.... he still compares a regular army with a public army. However, there is no time for training soldiers 2 years for using an F16 or a Leopard 2. That is the difference between war and a peace time military. That is an important element missing in judgement of current situation, but also the development of military technology.

I like this man. not his info.
Why do Russia continue to fight if it has unsustainable losses? I don't see any logic in these assessments. Obviously it is pretty much sustainable if we are where we are after 2.5 years of war.
probably because those 'unsustainable losses' are not as great as our media are telling us. We never hear a word about how many Ukrainians are perishing in this war or how much equipment that they are loosing. the question that has to be asked, is if Russia is loosing so much, how is it that the Ukrainians have not capitalise on this, like taking back the 4 oblasts and the Crimea?
Ukraine has freedom of movement in the black sea? This guy is so overly optimistic its absolutely absurd how unashamadly he is lying.

What about ukraine stuid times radio?
This guy is so wrong..... Russia never had control of the sky's, if they did this war would of lasted 3 months at best. So much wrong and nonsense in this video.
This is the worst video I have seen on Ukraine. Man has the education of a grade 2 or something.

The upside down world of Times Radio...
Imagine what Isreal would have alredy done to Russia, and the world can only hope when putin finally realizes he is in trouble, that he doesn't set off nukes
The deaths are sustainable though. Russia lost 9 million soldiers and nearly 20 million civilians in ww2. They can sustain these numbers for years. It will decimate their society but they dont care. They will just grind on. They can sustain current burn rates of men and materials for 5+ years . Get the reality into these videos
You have missed the impact of modern times in your equation! It was easier to tell the Russian people to fight and die for their country 80 years ago since their country was attacked and they didn't have access to the outside world.
yur right they see life tot differently NO renaissance
Surely Hamish has mixed up !He's talking about Ukraine.

Comment: Russian bot 🥱
I don’t understand people saying Russia’s losses are “unsustainable” when they’re barely half a million - a snowdrop compared to WW2 losses of 20 million and 20 million more executed under Stalin.
The Soviet Union lost 20 million in WW2 and then more in Stalin's reign. Only Russia is losing troops on their side. Russia's population is a fraction of the Soviet Union's. Also, Russia is losing only men. The Soviet Union lost men, women and children in cities. Russia was fighting for their existence in WW2. Not a necessary war now.
you're forgetting the Soviet Union back then included Ukraine and other states, now it is just Russia and Russia is not that big or strong as it was once believed.
That was the Soviet Union. Not Russia. Russia has barely half of the resources of the SU. And the SU was massively supported by its western allies in WW2. Russia has North Korea and other countries you meet behind the trash container as allies.
Let me help you understand. This isn't the 1940s and the war isn't an existential emergency for Russia.
@@rv2167 30 million population more. 144 vs 170 million of the soviet union in 1939
I stopped watching at 1:40..... Another interview rebroadcast with a different title..... The Times Radio videos are starting to be a waste... Only 1 in 3 at best is a new video. Garbage, garbage, garbage!!!!!!!
The same old nonsense continues...
😅
There is only 1 solution cause it won't stop.
Mediazona, (which, by the way, is an anti-Putin media site for one), in collaboration with BBC News service and a team of volunteers, maintains a named list of deceased Russian military personnel. This list is compiled from verified, publicly available sources, including social media posts by family members, local news reports, and official announcements from regional authorities.
This list is not exhaustive, as not every military death becomes public knowledge.
*60,000 KIA* recorded names-count
To provide a more comprehensive picture of the war’s impact, they also offer a second figure: an estimate of excess mortality among men, based on Probate registry data. This method was developed in collaboration with Meduza, to address the limitations of relying solely on publicly reported deaths.
*120,000 KIA PROBATE REGISTRY ESTIMATE*
*+45,000 KIA UNCONFIRMED MARCH 14 - JULY 5 2024*
So, overall estimate based on the Russian Probate Registry remains the same: *by July 2024, approximately 120,000 Russian soldiers have died in the war* (with a 95% confidence interval of 115,000 to 145,000).
*_#Pro_**_-UKRWesternPRBalloonPopped_*
Then add Wagner, Donbabweans, Lugandans, then figure out that these are named and verified. The unknown pieces of mystery meat we see daily are not included.
best western intelligence on Russian casualties (dead and wounded) is 250,000 dead and 1-2x that amputees so over 500k casualties and that was in late 2023

No more clues, bakers...
OK let's accept the sustainability argument for the sake of continuing the discussion, the obvious question is how sustainable is Ukraine? From our point of view, obviously Ukrainians dying for our benefit is desirable so we should make this more sustainable when Ukraine has no other choice, but ...
Ukraine is defending and hasn't conscripted nearly as desperately as Russia. Plus Ukrainians are fighting for their homes which is a significant motivator.
@@rv2167 so why is the Polish prime minister threatening to send back all those military aged Ukrainian men? it seems that if there isn't a problem of recruitment, why are we seeing this?
