As an Afghan who is born and brought up in war, I wish no war happens between these two countries. Peace to Ukraine
Same but it’s not looking good
Respect to you sir
Amen.
Well, whenever there are Americans, expect there will be war.

@@faustosar6151
Don’t get too cocky, your axis of evil called NATO/USA that destroyed dozens of sovereign countries will not prevail in a conflict with Russia, especially looking at recent America’s disgrace in Afghanistan.
You couldn’t even defeat some cavemen on donkeys, so I wouldn’t recommend digging your own grave trying to mess with the official world's 2nd-most powerful military (including Space Forces), and the 4th-highest military expenditure. Apart from that, Russia is a recognised nuclear-weapons state, possessing the world's largest stockpile of nuclear weapons.
Well, and, for what it’s worth you should really put up with the obvious fact that geopolitically Russia is one of the most powerful and crucial countries ensuring the balance of the world.
I suppose you don’t wanna see the world come crashing down in a nuclear apocalypse in the end because of notorious America’s expansionism, insatiability and anti-Russian sentiment, do you? That’s more like it.
Send all the leaders to fight

Better yet, their children!

If only politicians will go to war then there will be no war
Cowards,is easy to say let's go to war as long my son or daughter are not in it.
Europe is in trouble when Germany is too strong or too weak
Germany needs to be just right like in Goldilocks and the three bears. Strong but not too strong and weak but not too weak.
This time it is ridiculously weak. Pity Poland hasn't invaded them.

Ukrainian people want just peace.Families and kids want to live in their homes.We want just to work,raise children and live without a fear.But we can't do anything but pray...
Just 77 years ago we faced the war.
Please,don't let it happen again.
Julia, we love and Pray for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. God Bless Ukraine. We want and will push our American government to support and defend Ukraine. Germany and EUs wake up, a nation is about to be annihilated by a power hungry evil person and you’re doing nothing! Keep Ukraine independent and free. Julia, Hopefully you and your family are safe. The Ukrainian people they don’t hate the Russians now. However, they’ll hate them forever if they invade Ukraine. Putin will be shocked when thousands of body bags starts heading back to Russia.
If Ukraine wants peace, why is it the party pushing escalation? All that has to happen for this to stop is Ukraine has to pull back the more than 100K troops it's moved onto the Russian border in hopes of using force to take the Donbas region from the civilians there.
Ukraine wants war, it's the only way Zelenskyy can push his way into NATO and the EU while covering up the planned slaughter of dualUkrainian nationals in the Donbas by Ukrainian troops.
Putin says no.
putin wont live forever
@@item6931 When? Putin has been explicit and clear since this started in March last year. He has absolutely no desire or intention to invade Ukraine. Period. It's February, the window to even start an offensive is rapidly closing.
And you have to take into account the Russian troops are hundreds of kilometres from the border and showed up *AFTER* the Ukrainian troops showed up on the actual border. The number of Russian troops mirrors the number of Ukrainian troops. It's called a defensive stance.
Russia and Belarus have held military exercises well inside their own territory, something every military on earth does with their allies.
Yankville holds such live fire exercises on the Korean DMZ annually then complains that the DPRK are becoming aggressive.
Meanwhile NATO and Yankville have been moving thousands of troops close to Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. They've been sending weapons into Ukraine in clear violation of peace treaties. That's escalation, it's aggression.
The Russian troops haven't responded. They've kept the same defensive stance they've held for a few weeks short of a year now. You really think stationing troops for a year in defensive response to your aggressive neighbour is a plan to invade? Yet every time Russia points that stuff out yankville dismisses it and cries about escalation. Escalation they're doing.
This is about oil & gas money,.
It's not NATO advancing to Russia. It's the ordinary good people in former USSR are saying goodbye to Russia.
And the ordinary good people wanting to be with Russia ?
Do these “ordinary people” want to be with russia?

Germany enabled the Ruskis when they signed up for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Duh!
Putin knows that Germany doesn't care and will keep shoveling 10's of billions of $'s in his direction, no matter what crimes he commits. They've given him $250 billion since he bombed Chechnya, so why stop now?
And Biden when he said no US boots on the ground. He should've kept Putin guessing by making no statement one way or the other.
It was Merkels wish

Nato and America is to blame for this crisis.
NATO: Every country has a right to self determination and a right to defend itself from aggression from hostile external threats.
To be fair, If S/American countries ask Russia or China to set up military bases for security and protection, the US should also respect their choice. 😎
Ukraine is not a NATO country. US is a an opportunistic country and disgrace to humanity. Last year Myanmar was ima far worst situation than Ukraine, they did nothing, because it’s doesn’t bring them any back.
But we all know how that played out. The US launched another coup attempt like they always to in order to make their elite more wealthy and powerful.
Thank god that one failed.
You mean something along the lines of a naval blockade around an island nation on the US border that had Russian missiles in it? Nah, that would never happen…
IMO Russia is not gonna invade, but even if they did, NATO will still win, because what remain of Ukraine will, from then on, become hostile toward Russia, and will permanently join the West. Putin is blundering into lose-lose situation here, all that NATO need is just stand firm, call the bluff, and stare Putin down.
This will be the "Great Stand on the Ugra River" moment for the Ukraine, similar to how the Russian cast off the Mongol yoke centuries ago; now Ukraine shall cast off the Russian yoke.

EVERYONE FORGETS THIS; In the Great Famine of the 1930s, as many as four million Ukrainians died during the forced collectivization of Ukraine’s farms by the Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. The bitterness remains to this day.
What ethnicity was Stalin?
@@borismitrovic2044 Georgian
It is not during collectivazation but after. It was rather because Stalin's first five year plan was crazy optimistic and they exported so much food that it caused famines. Also they prioritized food for the city folks and the rural "peasant" class was forced to starve. Also as proportion of population the famines were even worse in kazakhstan.

Simple solution. Russia must join NATO . The military money saved would alleviate poverty and hunger in the world
Without Russia, there will be no NATO. You think the NATO nation wants to end the $billions slush funds?
NATO has designated Russia an adversary. US and the west are not keeping their own words, commitments regarding NATO expansion in the last 30 years. You can't force peace between husband and wife. Let it be. Come what may.
The one thing that is the best indecator that Russia is going to invade Ukraine is them withdrawing their embassy staff ...if thay have no intention to invade why would thay do it??🤔🇳🇿
To stop them defecting to the West
not necessarily. If they are looking for concessions, drawing back their embassy staff would help convince "the west" that they are serious in their threat to attack. Yeah, they claim they aren't threatening to attack, but they are and everybody knows it.
Obviously nobody understands how poker players do what they do on the table.
And what will happen if the Ukrainian radicals, incited by the US, stage a provocation and attack the embassy staff? Russia has repeatedly stated that some kind of provocation is being prepared
This war is beneficial only to the US
@@АндрейИванов-ц3к2л that must be up to Ukrainian government to stop a false flag. If the west wants the war that much we will see a move soon.
I would highly recommend that all sides step back from brinkmanship.
"Side" - singular - Putin.
All sides? What is Ukraine going to step back from? 🤦🏻♂️
With the quantity of Russian troops on the boarder growing, this is a very one sided brinkmanship. All the other side is doing is threatening sanctions and a trivial amount of arms to Ukraine.
It is US and Europe that matters in the world. China and India has moved 1 lakh troops each to their borders. The western media gives least importance to this. Both are Nuclear powers.
Conscriptions;
As long as the tension goes to be a diminishing factor to be withdrawing process from both NATO, Russia and the rest of entire Europe as I swear their is no possible war if the diplomacy have still a power to be obtained with proper restraints of any military power.
The world needs to boycott Russia
There should be a time frame for Russia to deescalate or sanctions will be put. Just sounds like a mom threatening the spoiled child that doesn't listen

Putin and Xi, they fear democracy. The existence of strong US is a threat to their authoritarian rule.
The US is a threat to their existence, not because of the US military but because of what it stands for....human rights, free elections, private enterprise, senate, congress and supreme court.
Glasnost (“openness” opened the way for democratic reform movements) started the collapse of the USSR....the very same thing that Putin now fears, that can also happen to him.
In 1990, McDonald’s opened its first restaurant in Moscow. The image of the Golden Arches in Pushkin Square seemed like a triumph of Western capitalism, and customers lined up around the block for their first taste of a Big Mac.
In 1991, after one year, the USSR collapsed.
CCP crushed HK and want to do the same thing to Taiwan. Putin cannot have a democratic Ukraine, especially the post soviet Baltic states near their borders.
Russia has some of the tightest controls in the world in terms of what its citizens can access on the internet. A large number of websites and online services are banned in Russia by Roskomnadzor, the federal censorship body.

How to resolve this conflict? Follow and adhere with the Minsk agreements. Calibrate understanding of all parties so everyone is on the same page. Compromise and accept the fact that present status was the result of previous governance. Act and move forward and support Ukraine's economy not military .Listen to the minority.
How to escalate the conflict? Threaten Russia with sanctions, demonized there way of governance , decline the proposed diplomatic resolution to resolve the conflict by minority or Russia, hurt Ukraine's economy such as advising people to leave as it creates fear and withdrawal of people's investments to Ukraine, western militarization. Please help Ukraine and listen..
One of the most rational comments on this thread! Total agreement with you.
@Alex Wclearly the previous agreement was not adhered and was not calibrated among parties therefore it failed. Now they have to work it out again, calibrate and comply/act with the new agreement if diplomacy succeed. Easier said than done but hoping it will work for the best and peace on both ends.

I think that attitude is much closer to the German leadership.

Probably the smart move would be for the Ukrainians to commit not to join NATO, but in exchange the Russians would have to withdraw support from the separatists in eastern Ukraine and would have to pay some sort of compensation for the Crimea. For example have to make a payment for each Ukrainian household that wished to leave and compensate the Ukrainians for the all the government property they seized when they annexed the region.
Never. Crimea voted to join Russia so there is no payment to be made.
Ukraine needs to commit to never joining NATO and that is that. NATO are terrorists by every definition of the word.

Several other nations as well. Just learn how the world works. Actually how it always worked.
What I know is Crimea is Russian and was Russian since it was liberated from the Turks. Crimea found itself in Ukraine due to internal arrangements in the former Soviet union
@@zeffy._440 Clearly you have no understanding of international law or what constitutes a legitimate election. Russia invaded the Crimea in contravention of an agreement that it signed back in the 1990s and then held and election after Russian troops and assorted nationalist goons were in place to "supervise the election" so even if the Russian's would have won the vote it has zero weight with anyone outside of Russian nationalists circles. You should also note that the Russian government said nothing about having the Crimea join Russia prior to the arrival of a regime that was not under its thumb in Kiev. As for compensation there is no escaping that the Russian government stole Ukrainian government property such as warships, along with the supplies and materials at other government/military facilities. While under Soviet rule in 1944, 191,000 (8,000 died in the process) Crimean Tatars were brutally deported from the region to Central Asia.

Ww1 started because serbs were ignored. WW2 started regardless of appeasment. And we know with putin that does not work, at all. he just goes like "hey, that's mine! and that's mine! and that's also mine!"
So, neither of those work. Ukraine has every right to determine its present and future. However, sad fact is, when the super powers play, the little ones get swept aside like a used out rug.
Source: Estonian history, Baltic States History, World history, told by the victors at that. So it is already biased and it still shines through how all these wars start. And we have not learned from it.
WW2: Let's see, Russia invaded Finland and the Baltics while Germany took over Czechoslovakia then Germany and Russia jointly invaded Poland.
WW1, Russia sent Austria an Ultimatum.
The prior major war was the Franco Prussian war. France (provoked) declared war on Prussia and invaded German territory helping create Germany.
@@thedarkdragon1437 Notably, Ukraine did something many thought was impossible. Giving up 1900 nuclear weapons and there accompanying delivery systems.
To solidify security commitments to Ukraine, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom signed the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances on December 5, 1994. And in 2009 this was ratified further by both the USA and Russia signing a further agreement that these protocols remained in force.
Russia had unilaterally decided to violate the protocols in 2014 by occupying Crimea by force.
The Minsk/Belgrade and START treaties have been extended to two other countries-Kazakhstan and Belarus in a matching set of agreements.
Russia’s actions do more than disturb the peace, they make it exceedingly unlikely that arms reductions agreements have any prospect for the future.
You can now expect to see a serious return to nuclear weapons propagation not just elsewhere-but every where. This will help us put the outbreak of pandemics, however deadly, in a better light. Signatories to treaties are expected to enforce such treaties.

How can the attentions of the Russian government not be clear? This is no different than when Russia put nuclear weapons on the soil of Cuba. We are too close to the capital city of Russia And they are not going to stand for it. Their intentions were clear... Stay back or else...
Don't get me wrong I am an ally of nato.

Why can’t everybody butt out let’s Ukraine and Russia 🇷🇺 talk among themselves.????????
The coverage by DW news has been tremendous
We are German. We swore to never repeat Na zi style racism or hate speech against the Chinese
Nothing will happen... it's just a political game of Tom and Jerry....... Don't panic
Why should Russia allow NATO a hostile power to them be move right up to their border?. What did the U.S do in the 60's when Russian missiles were placed in Cuba?
Question is, why Russia forces its neighbouring countries to join NATO?
NATO a "hostile power." You basically have to beat NATO members with a stick to get them to pay their dues, then they still don't.
Get rid of Kaliningrad Oblast btw. Russia is a hostile power and its presence is intolerable.
😆 take advice from American integence is like asking a janitor how too perform brain surgery.
They said Iraq had mass destruction and never did. They use anything and everything too justify actions.
Yeah there is a difference between lies by some politicians and true intelligence from the departments of intelligence. Bush and cheney lied about WMD in iraq. Sorry they were greedy criminals who also killed all those people in those towers but the intelligence doesnt lie. Politicians lie.

Russia Exit Luhansk. Russia Exit Kuban, Russia Exit Crimea, Russia Exit Donetsk.
Russia said NATO in Ukraine would present exponential threat ..Russia sees this as the lion at the gate and believes it has no other choice but to attack .
I can't shake the feeling that the US wanted this to happen. They could have placed sanctions earlier to deter Putin.
But they didn't
As if they wanted russia to be embroiled in a long and protracted war.
It shouldn't be hypocritical then: when is it going to give up Kaliningrad Oblast?
NATO isn’t forcing any country to join though. Russian ambassador in Sweden said and i quote ”Russia can not accept Sweden joining NATO” is Russia the ruler of the world? Is Putin president of the world? How is it reasonable that Russia decides if a country can join or not? 64% of Ukrainian people voted to join. As they feel more safe.
@@catterpie collect your rubles bot. the "West is luring us into a fight" meme is old.
@Alex W I disagree . Apart from dependence on fossil fuels, which Germany was warned against (but of course $Germoney$ knows better) trade with Russia is not that much. More likely they will become a vassal of China and just feed them raw materials. Xi will definitely call the shots in that alliance.
Insidious Russia is moving its border closer and closer to the NATO countries.
We're doomed, doomed I tell you.
Simpsons detected lol

How can the Ukrainian government say not to worry when troops are amassed in excessive numbers on their border? Very sad, everyone that can leave should, hopefully nothing will happen and everyone can return to their normal life after all this Russian aggression has died down.
Because they need to prevent panic and keep morale up obviously
These ‘talks’ are giving Putin what he really wants, which is attention and respect on the world stage. This guarantees that if the Russians don’t use force this time, they will continue to threaten force in the future.
I wonders what your thoughts on several US military base that surrounding russia border?
@@xiaomose7495 On NATO's border you mean ?
@@xiaomose7495 Its funny since no country is forced into going into NATO. 64% of the Ukrainian population has voted to go into NATO. Maybe you are used to not having rights, but how come these countries near Russia would love to join NATO as they feel more safe and why shouldn’t they be allowed to do so? Cause Putin says no?
The talks just let him buy time for war.
@@xiaomose7495 There are no US bases in the Ukraine, nor anywhere along Russia’s southern, northern or eastern borders, unless you count Alaska. In the West NATO is a purely defensive alliance; the NATO treaty cannot be invoked for offensive purposes. Nobody is threatening Russia.
Get out Jb team👹🤡☠️nobody wants wars🤬🤯
Capability is there? Not the intentions? Does he hear himself?
The interviwee's point of view is also applicable to NATO against the Russians. NATO is surrounding Russia in the eastern side with troops, equipment and platforms. Hahaha.
Again, it is the capability not the intentions. Hahaha. What a double standard.
i wonder WHY Russia did not try anything yet?
ha ha ha, putin fell into his own snare and is now trapped himself, he united nato and america, many more countries are interested in joining nato ha ha ha ???
Still going to just send just those helmets guys?
'Don't fight a battle if you don't gain anything by winning' ---- Erwin Rommel
Putin wants personal glory. That is the gain he is after.
Today, Russia is interfering in Africa due to the division of the African peoples and their fall under the rule of dictatorship imposed by France's interventions in Africa, which steal the wealth of the African peoples and cause poverty, unemployment and bankruptcy .... Also, we in Tunisia want the United States of America to help the Tunisian people to Qais Saeed was expelled from power and put on trial. We ask the United States of America to help Africa liberate from French interference so that Africa becomes strong in order to fight the Russian enemy alongside the international community
What is Tunisia is that part of South Africa?
If people don’t leave when they’re told to leave, then when they need help with contingencies, there won’t be any Consular and Embassy services available. That’s the whole point they’re telling them to leave NOW.
russia too much punching above its weight USA will save freeworlds..
Just don’t go down without a fight to the bully.
Tough talk from armchair generals won't help matters. This sh** can become real, quickly. And the other reality is that Ukraine's military is no match for a superpower like Russia and many civilians will die in the crossfire.
Everybody on all sides of this situation need to calm the f*** down put their "guns" away.
Agreed, except that the one country with no intention of calming things down is the one waving their weaponry around and intimidating Ukraine with huge numbers of troops at their border.
So what can anyone do? Just cave into Putin’s demands? He will just come back with more demands. He will never be satisfied. He wants all the ex-USSR countries back. All the NATO allies can do is hold firm.
Sadly, trying to calm things down doesn’t work with bullies when they’re on the rampage.
Just my opinion.
@@bramsrockhopper3377 It certainly does appear that the politicians have failed. But the Nuremberg trials after WW2 have shown that "I was just following orders" is no longer an excuse for killing people... If we get to a peace after the war where those involved in the fighting ever go to trial.
So, in my opinion, the people who are filling those boots on the ground need to talk. Even if they cannot stop the coming war, they can, for example negotiate the rules of engagement as the worst case scenario - such as how to let civilians get out of the line of fire and evacuate. The best case scenario is that the generals can negotiate the peaceful settlement that has eluded the world leaders.
De-escalation is a word which is not in the US' foreign policy's vocabulary.
Unfortunately, you’re right. It’s interesting how this crisis didn’t occur until after Donald Trump left office and now a large percentage of our citizens are blaming Biden.
Putin is playing mind games to provoke and divide our country.
The American people are getting fed up with the military industrial complex and the sacrifice of our sons and daughters.

According to OSCE shelling in Ukraine had risen 4 times, maybe 1300 tons of weapons delivered by US, UK, Estonia, Poland and Lithuania got something to do it with?
Or Russia started doing its "military-technical" response already.
The weapons are going to continue to pour into Ukraine, shelling or not. Right now I wouldn't like to be a Russian tank crewman, and it's becoming more dangerous for their pilots by the day.

01:29 not gonna lie, that tiny "of course" was tragically funny in that sentence.
Yeah that was referred to the absurd idiotic moment when Russia troops were on the ground and Putin was telling to the world that no Russian troop were there, even when proof were given.
@@pisolo86 I know. And it was not the part I found sadly funny. To me (a non-native speaker of English) that "of course" made the entire sentence appear, as if conquest was a Russian habit. A way of life.
I know the speaker used it to pointout that a fact is obvious, but it sounds a bit more than that to me.

Let's hope Russia will do what it said several times: not attack. Europe has been separated for so long, wants negotiated peace in Ukraine and a path towards lasting stability. Stability is a prerequisite for the process of reconciliation and trust-building after the Cold War. Europe's future can be bright - from Lisbon to Moskow.
The US is obviously attacking Russia's fuel business?

In such times, the press and international public opinion only have limited, very fragmentary knowledge of what is going on.

That is evident and Russia has no desire to invade Ukraine as most folks in Kyev seem to understand.
This is about the US attempt to drive Russia from the nearly half of the fuel markets in Europe and replace them with US and Qatar's LNG.
