Can you make analysis why UK and France interest for ukraine, especially UK have so much obsession to eastern Europe?? Isn't Brexit UK they basically claim their not part of EU so why meddling in East European affairs??
For the same reason why GB and France went to war with Russia in 1853 and occupied Crimea. Nothing changed. They still want to weaken Russia, as they did then. They fear Russia. Russia is too big and too strong, so one has to chop off a piece and make it a part of NATO. That is the purpose of the current war.
Another concise analysis that will save me hours, nay days, listening to other analysts with their redundancies, jargon, slogans and mere talking points. It is astonishing how removed from reality are the political elites in all of the NATO countries. Don't they read maps? Understand arithmetic? Watch public opinion? Count their money? .........apparently not.
An interesting perspective, thank you. Ukraine, within its 1991 borders, seemed to have a future as a federal state, respecting its linguistic diversity. Having spent some time in Ukraine, I can say that this country is quite far from the "values" and lifestyle of Europeans. However, there are also differences with Russia, which even very Russophile Ukrainians do not fail to point out. The population would probably have adapted to this change in the structure of the state, but the leaders who emerged from the Maidan had other objectives in mind than the welfare of the country and the representation of its diversity.Not to mention the West, which uses it as a proxy
Thank you once again Dr Brovkin, I would be interested to hear about the reaction in Russia to the assassination of the General of RF NBC command in Moscow today? And will this have any affect on the Russian position in respect to Ukraine, going forward. Thank you again 🙏
I was interested to hear that Dr Brovkin includes Kharkov in Novorossya. My inderstanding is that Kharkov was part of the Russian Empire since the middle of the seventeenth century, more than one hundred years before Novorossya was acquired.
Dear Dr. Brovkin, only few people know that the land of Нова Россия was the region where several hundred thousands Serbs during 2 great exodus, but also throughout the whole 18th century have found their new home. The situation in Serbia under Ottomans was unbearable as well as their lives in Habsburg monarchy. So they beg the tsarina Catherine the Great to let them settle down in Russia. She gave them the citizenship and the land to settle down. It was easy for Serbian population in Nova Russia to disappear in Russian ethnic corpus, given the same Slavic roots, nearly the same language and our Orthodox faith. The centre of their settlements was Bahmut. Still today it is visible to us a lot of toponyms of Serbian origin, which we also have in Serbia. Slaveno-Serbia is a part of Luhansk people’s Republic (Just one example).
@ Yes, it is. You can verify this story. There are still documents and of course Donbas Russians with Serbian family names, but we were not the only settlers, Cossacks, Romanians and a few other Slavic groups. Greetings.
@ уУ два огромна ексодуса је било неколико стотина хиљада. Међутим за време целог 18. века наши људи су се селили за Русију. Царица Катарина је имала највише поверења у наше људе, зато што су били лојални, исте крви и вере, али посебно што смо били одлични ратници.
The obvious will happen: Russia will end up with the whole Novorossya, Poland Romenia and Hungary will have their legitimate bits as well, the only question: what will happen to Kiev?
The EU has failed to unite Europe into a federalist type of organization modeled after the United States. The project was too difficult because individual European states are more diverse than the American states, with different languages and political traditions. The EU centralized power too quickly and the resulting political structures lack democratic flexibility. In addition, the United States saw the EU as an emerging threat and acted to weaken the EU. The EU came under the control of the US and essentially merged with NATO. The individual European leaders are extremely weak across the continent. European economies are in decline with little hope except perhaps a hope that Europe can participate in the coming military buildup of America's second cold war.

Nothing will happen. The US has given as much as it wanted to already. This will only mean that Trump will forget his domestic agenda and lose to neocons.

There are many facets to the Ukraine settlement. One may be the neutering of the Ukraine State as it is, economically, politically and militarily, possibly in that order. The economic decapitation stems from 2 aspects, the taking of Odessa and Mykolaiv, turning rump Ukraine into a land-locked country. And secondly, the taking of Ukrainian territory rich in minerals and agricultural land as much as possible. Once these 2 are accomplished to the extent that they remain eminently defendable without massive troop presence, rump Ukraine will really become a burden to whoever wants to inherit/adopt it. There is a case to be made that Romania, Hungary and Poland will still want parts of Western and South-Western Ukraine due to legacy and historical reasons, and that may be fine. It just means further dismemberment of rump Ukraine. The next phase is political neutering. The Azov and Right-Sector types in Western Ukraine will come to power in rump Ukraine. They will have a political arm and a terrorist arm. They will seek patrons to get funding and political support. The question is, will the Trump Administration want to play that role? If not, will it be Poland or Germany? The British are always up for skullduggery, so they'll likely want in on it too. This is the new political reality of rump Ukraine, an Al-Qaeda-like mercenary/terrorist force, organized around a toxic neo-Nazi (Bandera-esque) ideology. Apart from new Syria, rump Ukraine will be terror central. Russia needs to prepare to combat a low-grade persistent terror threat thereon out. As for military neutering, this will be tricky, as Russia may demand that long-range weapons, air-force, heavy-artillery and tanks will be banned from rump Ukraine. Will NATO agree to such a commitment. In any case, what good is a NATO agreement anyway. So the enforcement of such a requirement becomes a challenge that Russia will need to find a solution for. As mentioned above, even if dismemberment happens, it should still NOT be allowed to have long-range offensive weapons in annexed territories. This will be difficult to enforce.
thank you for your analysis. I agree, But it is for the reasons you listed that the Russians will not allow a terrorist state exit on its border. What I would have recommended if Putin asked me for an advice, is to integrate provinces east of Kiev including Kiev as a part of the RF, as for West Ukraine I would have made a RU protectorate, i.e. self rule and no foreign policy of any kind, no army, control over police, and education and a closed border with Russia
Great observations I think it would be grave mistake to trust the west Putin best bet is to listen to his country that’s what’s kept him in power this long one slip and we know what could happen
Last report from Russian defense minister, NATO preparing 800,000 troops in western European line ? th-cam.com/users/liveI7iQ-kJZulU?si=pm8sI7RxCMZ9RIb6
They do not have 800K troops. They would have a hard time to send 80K. They have no money, no shells, no annunition. It will take years to reach Russian levels of all that
@vladimirbrovkin4052 yes, I believe he said NATO plans to have such a force in the years ahead ... Putin says they are detecting more and more intermediate missile systems in current NATO countries, Finland, Poland, and other locations ... In other words he doesn't see the empire giving up even if Ukraine is lost to them ... They seem to know no other way in world, war and extraction and the supporting systems are constructed for those purposes , in other words they don't have administrative systems that fit a peaceful and cooperative world.
Always good to listen to your take on current affairs. 😊
Glad to hear that!
Always a pleasure to listen to you sir. I value your astute perspectives and agree with basically everything I have ever heard you say
Much appreciated
Your analysis is pretty much compelling, Sir
Glad you think so!
Thank you very much.
You are welcome!
Right on!

The differences between the Russians and Ukrainians are no more than between Alabama and Massachusetts
Putin/Russians seems to be saying hurry up, come to your senses, if not we're going to take it all!
exactly right

If the FSB determines that there was Ukrainian hand in this, then there will be serious consequences
I was interested to hear that Dr Brovkin includes Kharkov in Novorossya. My inderstanding is that Kharkov was part of the Russian Empire since the middle of the seventeenth century, more than one hundred years before Novorossya was acquired.
yes that is true. But it is included in Novorossiya now as a part of the lands that are Russian but given to Ukraine

Imena naselja jako sliče onima u Srbiji. Jedino nisam siguran oko broja ljudi koji su se tamo naselili.
