This the word " Stalemate" is now becoming common in the western media's,😂😂 the actual truth is Ukraine and NATO lost it devastately, admit this and get over it
There is a bigger picture beyond winning or losing.

Also, that the West can outspend Russia, costing it its soldiers, economy, etc.
Thing is there is a big difference between being able to outspend Russia (which they clearly can) and having the will to outspend Russia which I seriously think they lack... just look how in the last 2 years the funding and popular support for Ukraine has fallen off as the war grinds on with no real end in sight. Right now Ukraine is unable to function without western Support not just on the battle field but economically on the home front as well, the west effectively funds the Ukraine government to keep it operational.. however after 30 odd years of dumping Trillions into foreign conflicts that run for year if not decades without end the West and more importantly the western population at large has little appetite anymore for yet another endless war, you can see the cracks appearing right now as most of that early optimize came to nothing and the dawning realization that there is once again no reasonable end in sight no matter the money being funneled into the conflict.. To be clear to date Russia has paid a hellish price for this war, loosing more men and equipment than I think NATO could stomach if the roles were reversed, but its does seem Russia is more committed to seeing this conflict to a bloody end than those it opposes in the West..at least as things appear right now. @@sanfrancisco89

They went in on a strike mission to compel a settlement of the crimea and nato issues. This was accomplished and they retreated, USA and UK got Zelensky to tear up the agreement and so Russians withdrew to defensive positions and built up their force which is now around 1.2 million. The pulling back to defensive line will in fact be the russians master stroke in all of this, now it’s just over for the Ukrainians as they’ve lost too many soldiers and are at beginning stages of being overwhelmed. That’s how I see it, that’s how a great many see it.
Instead of talking about Ukrainian making concessions to Russia we should realize that in that case we all are making concessions to Russia. And that at a time that the countries in the autocratic axis are putting their economies on a war footing. If we don't ramp up our defense industrial output of conventional weapons and ammunition and develop new weapon systems that can keep up with the evolution of warfare and supply them to the frontline as fast as possible, we will end up in a very dangerous place. In a long forgotten place. Where we will be asking ourselves, why?
Isn't Germany making concessions to the States (the whole gas saga, VW, Bayer)? Poles making concessions to the Germans (tax Chinese cars, import Ukrainian wheat willy nilly)? It's the way of the world. And Ukraine cannot just move the country from Russian vicinity. If anything, Russians seem pretty reasonable in comparison!
Western Military industrial complex own the US and western governments and over charge them 100x more than what it truly costs and they don’t ramp up production until they have guaranteed contracts and even then it takes years. But in Russia it’s opposite the authoritarian government owns the military industrial complex and when putin says you will produce this amount asap they have no choice and follow instructions like little children. The advantage he has is huge he doesn’t deal with bureaucracy . Get it down or you will fall out of a window
you are right...it is dark days. I'd have felt more optimism in 1939-1940. But other elephant in the room , is how soft W Europe EU has gone in martial terms anyway..would you particularly even want what passes for a German military unit these days on your flank with you counting on them?

The sheer amount of approving and cheering comments by ordinary Russians in response to videos depicting the atrocities against civilians and prisoners of war in Ukraine were just as shocking to Ukrainians as the war itself. We had somehow grown accustomed to the war, but the realization of who we have been living alongside all this time without even knowing it is still horrifying. Those barbaric creatures referred to themselves as our brotherly people. One can only imagine what they might do to those they consider their enemies given the opportunity. Negotiating with Russia is akin to negotiating with Ebola. Allowing Russia to remain undefeated is like undertreating a deadly infection - it will only return stronger. This is why any peace agreement that doesn't ensure a clear victory for Ukraine is merely a temporary ceasefire.

"There's been slow progress in the counteroffensive!" --- wow!! At what point will the counteroffensive be said (by DW, CNN, SkyNews, BBC, etc) to have failed? 🤷♂
You'll only hear the truth in non main stream media ...
Slow but steady backwards.
What part of Russia is a "dictatorship" do too many people not understand? 'Dictatorships...' don't even allow their own people to speak out, or know the truth!
So why on earth would think for a moment they would tell "you" the truth?
If a Russian person even calls this a 'war...' they can face upwards of "10 years" or more in jail, or worse be murdered by the regime. Putin has said this 'war...' has to be called a "special military operation."
Russian soldiers are brutalised, lied to and tortured by their own government. The families how lose loved ones, few get the death payments promised them, and soldiers themselves are left often with no pay or weapons with substandard equipment, which left many to freeze to death in winter.
There are no free fair elections in Russia under Putin - all free media and political opposition has been shut down, journalists, politicians and ordinary people - imprisoned or murdered!
Many have been taken in by Russian disinformation: by the way it was Russia under Stalin and the KGB in 1923 which arrived at the concept and coined the word 'disinformation!' They even gave it a Western sounding name, so we would more easily adopt it... so that worked?
Putin has murdered "100 000s" of people in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, Moldova, Belarus and Ukraine and elsewhere in the world.
Syria, was a people's uprising as a result of the Arab Spring, which began in Tunisia in 2010, as a result Assad slaughtered peaceful protesters with gunships. The people fought bravely for years, but when Damascus was about to fall, Assad called in Putin. Assad and Putin then murdered "100 000s" of people, dropping bombs on children in their schools, burning them alive!
In Russia itself, if people even call the Ukraine Russia War, a "war..." they can face up to "10 years" in jail, or if someone is a high profile politician or public figure, then can be imprisoned or even murdered.
A recent UN stated the in a terror campaign orchestrated by Putin... "children" as young as '4' years old are being tortured and raped.
We must act to stop this, and support the people of Ukraine to ensure this ends... in defeating the Putin Regime this could be a turning corner for humanity, in our search to end war, and all injustice?

This the word " Stalemate" is now becoming common in the western media's,😂😂 the actual truth is Ukraine and NATO lost it devastately, admit this and get over it
There is a bigger picture beyond winning or losing. Russia had to be shown that the Western world will come together when needed, that NATO will expand its sphere of influence, and that even a much smaller country like Ukraine will not be easily conquered as Putin had hoped to do within a few weeks. Also, that the West can outspend Russia, costing it its soldiers, economy, etc.
Thing is there is a big difference between being able to outspend Russia (which they clearly can) and having the will to outspend Russia which I seriously think they lack... just look how in the last 2 years the funding and popular support for Ukraine has fallen off as the war grinds on with no real end in sight.
Right now Ukraine is unable to function without western Support not just on the battle field but economically on the home front as well, the west effectively funds the Ukraine government to keep it operational..
however after 30 odd years of dumping Trillions into foreign conflicts that run for year if not decades without end the West and more importantly the western population at large has little appetite anymore for yet another endless war,
you can see the cracks appearing right now as most of that early optimize came to nothing and the dawning realization that there is once again no reasonable end in sight no matter the money being funneled into the conflict..
To be clear to date Russia has paid a hellish price for this war, loosing more men and equipment than I think NATO could stomach if the roles were reversed, but its does seem Russia is more committed to seeing this conflict to a bloody end than those it opposes in the West..at least as things appear right now.

The pulling back to defensive line will in fact be the russians master stroke in all of this, now it’s just over for the Ukrainians as they’ve lost too many soldiers and are at beginning stages of being overwhelmed. That’s how I see it, that’s how a great many see it.
Still in denial mode😂
About?
Instead of talking about Ukrainian making concessions to Russia we should realize that in that case we all are making concessions to Russia. And that at a time that the countries in the autocratic axis are putting their economies on a war footing. If we don't ramp up our defense industrial output of conventional weapons and ammunition and develop new weapon systems that can keep up with the evolution of warfare and supply them to the frontline as fast as possible, we will end up in a very dangerous place. In a long forgotten place. Where we will be asking ourselves, why?
Isn't Germany making concessions to the States (the whole gas saga, VW, Bayer)? Poles making concessions to the Germans (tax Chinese cars, import Ukrainian wheat willy nilly)?
It's the way of the world. And Ukraine cannot just move the country from Russian vicinity.
If anything, Russians seem pretty reasonable in comparison!
Western Military industrial complex own the US and western governments and over charge them 100x more than what it truly costs and they don’t ramp up production until they have guaranteed contracts and even then it takes years. But in Russia it’s opposite the authoritarian government owns the military industrial complex and when putin says you will produce this amount asap they have no choice and follow instructions like little children. The advantage he has is huge he doesn’t deal with bureaucracy . Get it down or you will fall out of a window
you are right...it is dark days. I'd have felt more optimism in 1939-1940.

Doubling down from NATO has gotten us into this mess. All of these debates are great, except for the fact that my home country lost at least 200,000 youngest and strongest men. The men that were suppose to build up the county, raise kids and move us forward.
As an American, I am all for us dictating to the world how it should live, so that we stay the world’s leader. As a citizen of Ukraine, I ask … what price is too high for Washington?
That's a pretty ignorant take on the situation. The US/NATO backed Zelensky's decision to fight. It wasn't NATO's "doubling down."
As a citizen of Ukraine, would you prefer to live under Russian occupation? I know I certainly wouldn't.
LOL.. if losing 30 % of your territory, all your infrastructure, all your economy, 90% of your military, 80% of your housing for the people, all your agriculture while your adversary loses vvery little then yes, that sounds like a stalemate to me....
What a silly question!!!!
Is the west and the Nato countries not willing to deliver weapons, Ukraine will win.
😂😂😂😂😂
Is counteroffensive still ongoing? I thought UAF are on defensive now
Are you dreaming? 😂
Ukraine can never win the war against Russia.
You realize Russia has failed in wars with much weaker enemies than Ukraine right? Or is history not your strong side?
@@akselmaniare ye talking about vietnam ..
Stop playing politics.
Disastrous interview. Asking the man to give his personal opinion on a point????????????Does this woman even know that ambassadors are not permitted personal opinions. Send this girl back to journalism school.
Slovakia a Hungry are nothing in the EU, it’s their way to complain about that.
DW, you don’t help our common cause at all and don’t seem to realize that Ukraine is fighting a war of freedom and democracy for of us all - enough of journalistic speculations, what are you complaining about… please respect the Ukrainians OR go fight on the frontline yourselves! As someone else phrased it, it’s a disgrace :(
Germany doesn’t care
@@Dave102693Right, and so many others… until it’s getting serious to themselves…
Винтовку в руки и на фронт.
Lies lies lies DW
"We need leadership to make right things" What an inspiring statement to end the interview with the ambassador. lol
Slow progress???
Ukraine has lost the war. In case you have any doubts;
There is a bigger picture beyond winning or losing. Russia had to be shown that the Western world will come together when needed, that NATO will expand its sphere of influence, and that even a much smaller country like Ukraine will not be easily conquered as Putin had hoped to do within a few weeks. Also, that the West can outspend Russia, costing it its soldiers, economy, etc.
@@sanfrancisco89 That's the good copium you have there.
Meanwhile in reality Russia still cant even take the Donbas.
@@foilhat1138 What does it matter if they are annihilating the Ukrainian army?
@@univeropa3363 Why is Russia attacking across almost the entire front, taking massive casualties and taking no ground?
The big question is: how on earth can't russia defeat ukraine??? Two years of war, and kiev is not even close to being conquered
Because they don't want and don't need to.
@@sachavanmeir1591 sounds like you're coping pretty hard
@@2kusiainen don't worry about me. I'm doing fine.
You asked. And that's one of the possibilities
No straight answer from the ambassador to even one question. Great line of questioning from the host. World really needs to evaluate the priorities and bring this war to an end. This can't go on forever. No country can continue to keep aside a portion of the budget forever, when there are so many homeless people back home
You are very ignorant, the reason why Ukraine has to fight for ALL territory is because if they don't they seize to exist it's not something you can just end, a genocide has been committed a massacre has been done by Russia these are not innocent, or equals to Ukraine innocent civilians got missiles fired at the apartment complexes by the Russians this war is not for fun this war is for existence, and they have every right to fight for ALL territory that belongs to Ukraine.
Nothing bright in your comment, as your nickname indicated.
Interesting that not even one time they've mentioned a word peace, even when you are losing.. Of course, It's not Zelensky's children and father that is fighting in war. " We can still win" also came from another failed leader, before the very end.
Because there is no peace, Russia wants Ukraine to stay out of the EU, the EU isn't manly enough to send in the troops, and Russia knows this.@@VesnaLukic-h8w
What are "securities guarantees"? In 1994 usa, germany and even russia has signed the security guarantees for Ukraine in exchange to Ukraine giving up on it's nukes - and how much did that provided of actual defense? The war was since 2015. Territiries were torn (Crimea) - noone lifted a finger at that stage to help. Nowadays they just say - give up more territories and lives of people for some other "guarantees".
Ukraine got its security guarantee when she was militarily neutral toward Russia. Then she decided to align itself against Russia and put that into her constitution, against the prevalent opinion of its people btw. That kind of realignment tends to shake things up wouldn’t you agree.
@@katrinad2397 yeah, sure.
1) "Ukraine decided to align against Russia" - Like the latter had nothing to do with it. For example - detaching it's territories, moving in the forces etc. Meh, can't be related, of course...
2) Ukraine is independend country, and Russia or any other country can't dictate the direction and choices it's making, not, especially, by force. It's neither legal nor ethical. Unfortunately Russia doesn't know the meaning of those words.
Summary: +15RUB to your account from your employers, russian bot, for the troll comment.
Ukraines government decided to align against Russia militarily in 2007 or 2008. No territories were annexed at that time. And yea Ukraine is independent and sovereign. So is Mexico, but should she, in a feat of independence, decide to align herself militarily let’s say with China against US …. Geeky that’s real lame to assume that everyone who doesn’t support further demolition and murdering of Ukraine are paid in Rubles. You might as well assume that about the DW interviewer here. Ukraine’s leaders have always known their country doesn’t have the resources to fight this war, so they should have not taken the path way back before 2014. I bet you were one of those who hailed the Iraqi freedom too, where is it now. You forgot haven’t you.
@@geekytraveler5899Are you heard for Cuba ,Cyprus ,Kosovo,Libya,Nikaragua etc?
Who broke agreement that NATO won't expend to east on Russian border?
Is "slow progress" synonymous with " absence of any progress whatsoever"🤔
Ukraine could never defeat Russia. Russia was playing softball in the beginning. Russia is still using a peace tie force.
Why are you so biased towards US? You should at last admit that you have dramatically lost. Paid more than 30 billions euros for air and lost. And you should start observing your interests. I have learned today for example that Michellin is leaving Germany. Is that good?
the correct title is: "Can Kyiv/NATO still defeat Russia?"
980 millions lost on overseas accounts... these clowns are going to lose
This line of dialog and questioning of Ukraine must make Putler very happy.
Why?
He’s winning
Can Kyiv still defeat Russia? LOL! are you lot on drugs?
Russian bots out in full force already
Hello, Cletus
Grow up
what are you gonna do abt it!!? cry?
Why is this reporter so much against Ukraine? Why doesn't she start mentioning the need for more assistance from all the European Countries as well as the USA?
No, it's losing a war of attrition
That’s why zelensky is saying - if you don’t have weapons - then give us money . Give ukriane more money , more and more money 😂
So he can buy more yachts 😂
This is not stalemate. The Zelensky regime is loosing the war.
Keep on dreaming 😅😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂 Delulu is strong.
A golden tie. Wrong choice considering the rumors of corruption.
The Russians recently put 30 percent of their annual budget to funding the war expanding their military to a world class standard...hahahahahhah I find this to be totally hilarious. what world class, you mean to make the Russian army to same standards as the Saddam Iraqi army ? hahah
seems to be not a problem for the west then! so... what gives?
you forgot to mention, 70% of 30% is stolen by Shoigu and his friends.
@@amotriuc probably more.
"Rearrange priorities" - nice and politically correct for "capitulate".
Long story short: No
Post 2014 annexation all over again
agree
