It is NOT possible for Russia to negotiate with the West or Ukraine because they have NEVER honored any of the agreements made with Russia. Why do all these Western commentators fail to acknowledge that the refusal of the West to absolutely rule out Ukraine's entry into NATO makes the negotiations they talk about ridiculous.
Precisely. Russia cannot ever trust the West again. EVER. They're liers deceivers and admit it. Russia will decide Ukraines future and the world and the west along with China
The Russian leadership has stated the west is agreement incapable.
Even if the west says no entry into Nato. They would be lying. Trust has been destroyed.
As scott ritter pointed out there won’t be negotiations there will only the unconditional surrender of the ukrain side
@@DomAtaGlance The fact that you are claiming that the West honored the agreement to not move an inch east after the desolution of the USSR shows that you are either ignorant or think everyone else is ignorant and makes every other claim you made questionable or lacking of credibility.
Not sure why the West wants regime change, while Putin is the most pragmatic Russian leader. They should make efforts to keep him there and wish him long life.
They want to steal Russias natural resources by installing a western puppet which president Putin is NOT!
The US UK are colonial powers which involves theft not work unlike China or Russia
"The West" does not want Russia happy or prosperous. It's been a Neocon wet dream to put (first the Soviet Union, then) Russia out of business, parcel it into marionette-staffed statelets, and get at the resources. Read Zbigniew Brzezinski's "The Grand Chessboard" (1997), and better yet get educated about The Heartland and Rimland Theories (before reading said "Chessboard").
West wants Russian gold. The only way is to remove Vladimir Putin. West is indifferent ,how many Ukrainian are going to die for it.
He is also western orientated and wanted peace in March 2022.
@@elenaz6533 he is probably adviser to Boris Johnson.
Odessa and Kiev in NATO is not possible for Russians at all at all .
I don’t even think about it that Russians would agree to this. First of all those are important Russian cities for the Russian psyche. Secondly tens of millions of Russians died in the previous wars to defend those cities from the very powers that today constitute NATO .
Nima is one of the best interviewer out there ! Crazy that there is not a single tv interviewer as good has him . Proof of a certain change is coming in the world of media
Nima is very good and interviewing... But so too is Richard Medhurst, Chris Hedges, Aaron Matte, Scott Ritter amongst others.
Nima is very simple in his approach, almost appearing naive in his questioning (though clearly far from actually being naive...).
@@Deebz270 Richard is a loud mouth and the others others are nice but very talkative , Chris hedges is something else but Nima is quiet enough and know when to ask strategic questions ! Btw I think Nima is Iranian , it means old very sophisticated culture and philosophically
I agree. Nima asks great questions, listens intently, doesn’t interrupt his guests, and has a fairly simple yet effective approach.
LOL. Putin's little fanboy makes me laugh.
@@TheTaoofEternalWar laugh harder and deeper western criminal
Complex and relevant analysis from Roberts - it needs to be heard in the pro-ukrainian communities (which on the other hand still haven't realised that there was a violent uprising and a coup d'Etate in Kiev, february 2014).
A violent uprising and coup d'etat in Kiev, Ukraine in 2014, ochestrated and directed by the US, naimly between US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and the US Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt
The same playbook is [and has been] deployed by the US, all over the world, backing extremist groupings like the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan, or the NAZI/Banderites in Ukraine, or Al Qaida in Iraq, or Al Nusra in Syria, or Boko Haram in Africa, the Qassam Brigades in Palestine, the Contras in South-America, et cetera
The US [and NATO member states] have been waging perpetual - and illegal - wars and [regime change] military operations, around the world since WWII, in countries like:

So much for "the West" and peace, yet so revealing for the rest!
That coup was backed by America and its vassal states.
Yet again, another interesting and thought provoking interview. Thank you!
Right on most thoughts but a Ukraine in NATO? No way, a membership for Ukraine in NATO is the reason we have this war.
You'll get used to NATO expansion bro. Russia can't stop it, because Russia is very poorly managed.
Why is it that the subscribers and readers of these YT programs understand how global insecurities are created when 7/8Ths of Congress and the the US governing system DO NOT????? Is this not US totalitarianism at it's finest?
Negotiate ? What part of Surender do you not understand ?
Ukraine agreed to surrender, and Russia accepts that surrender unconditionally.
I think Putin will steal the idea of Unconditional Surrender from the American playbook.
Poor Russians think they are strong, actually you are just drunk. LOL. Russia has already lost.
Professor Roberts is a man of good common sense .
Yes, he didn't mention Bandera or the 4th Reich even once.
He's an out of touch old man. The more I listen, the less sense he makes.
Wise words from Mr Roberts.
Agreed... Apart from his personal opinion that Russia was wrong to 'invade' the Donbas... Which of course is a WESTERN talking point and one which most of us completely discount. Russia undertook a 'Pest Control' initiative in their SMO and were INVITED into the Donbas by the citizens of those oblasts.
It was not just our Potato and Thief, all EU Leaders and UK Leaders were placed, not really elected, to cover for the involvement in the Pre Ukraine SMO, Activities
Nima is one of my favorite interviewers ATM. The questions are good and the people being interviewed feel comfortable and have time to elaborate their thoughts and we get a distinct flavor. Keep it up :)
For Russia to agree to Ukraine being in NATO Russian territory will have to extend all the way to the Dnieper River and include all the territory bordering the Black Sea. I can't imagine Russia agreeing to anything less than this.
@@DomAtaGlance Because the Dnieper River forms a natural barrier against hostile forces moving into territory on the east side of the river. And Russia occupying the Black Sea coastline cuts Ukraine off from using the Odessa and other ports to attack Russia.
@@DomAtaGlanceThe most important concern for Russia is Uas nukes in Ukraine. Western ukraine won't be in nato ever.
@@solaroid4442I agree with you that Ukraine will never be in NATO. The west is bluffing. They know that Ukraine as a NATO member would just cause them problems that they are not equipped to handle. Besides, Article 5 is never going to be invoked against Russia. The west wants nothing to do with that.
@@stevenhines650Russia will never agree to Ukraine being in NATO, as this was the single most important reason why we have this conflict to begin with... or as most of Russia's establishment said: "Niet is niet"
An excellent and interesting interview. Nice to hear a sensible analysis from a fellow Brit.
"Negotiation" is the wrong term for how a Russia-Ukraine peace will be achieved. Russia will dictate its terms for all of its principal objectives, and there will only be negotiations with respect to small details on the shape of the new border.
Non-negotiable (for Russia):
1) Ukraine is de-nazified and demilitarized.
2) No NATO membership (ever).
3) Recognition by Ukraine AND all of NATO that captured/absorbed territories are now LEGITIMATELY part of Russia.
4) Autonomy for the Russian-dominated oblasts in southern Ukraine, and/or a referendum to decide if they want to be absorbed by Russia.
Thanks Nima, another great interview. Love your style mate. Cheers.
Why would Russia fight a conflict now to avoid a greater war with NATO in the future and then stop now giving Ukraine and NATO the opportunity to make preparation to create the great war Russia started this conflict to prevent?
Putin's clowns make no sense. Russia is weak that is why it is losing this war. It's very simple guys.
I strongly disagree with your guest. Abolish NATO!
BINGO
Нам нужен мир - желательно весь 😏
Исключено. Стольких нахлебников нам не прокормить.
@@elenanegreskul8995The parasites are afraid you will invade them so you can feed them.
This fellow is hard to comprehend. He's speaking my native tongue but not in a way i have heard it done before.
Perhaps you should get yourself some English language tapes to refresh your grasp of English?
Apart from a slight stutter, Prof Roberts is perfectly legible, if you employ some aural 'filtration'.
I've heard worse university lactureres...
No mention of the shelling of donbass?
You all are underestimating how evil the people pulling the strings are.
My biggest disappointment and fear would be a peace deal that would leave Kharkiv and part of the Black Sea littoral under the current Ukrainian dictatorial leadership, along with Ukraine joining NATO and the EU. The conflict will flare up again, it will be more bloody and destructive. Regardless of the cost (human, material and image) the Russian side must be extremely firm, determined and decisive...I believe that the unconditional surrender of Ukraine would be the decisive element of a lasting peace.
Good said friend, Russia wont do the same mistake again, Russia will not trust the current idiot Leaders in almost all of the west.
Even an unconditional surrender would be just temporary, untill it is not perceived as unconditional anylonger, and becomes conditional...
Oh yes, they already tried once to appease another Fuhrer with territorial gains in the middle of XX century. The result was Second World war. Putin got his Crimea, did it stop his aggressive ambitions? Besides, the current Kremlin dictatorship is way more dangerous than the Ukrainian government, which was legitimately elected, without the need to bend the Constitution Kremlin-style.
I did meet a Ukrainian lady in London 2 days ago and she thanked me because my government is helping Ukrainians refugees ( i’m Romanian ) this lady been in the UK for the last 20 years and she think Zelinskyy is some kind of hero of the Ukrainian people because he stained and fight and she said he did not make peace with Putin because at the negotiations in March 2022 Putin demanded territory and need she asked me where do I’m taking my news because i don’t know what I’m talking about . So how brainwashed ia the population in Ukraine ? How can you even talk with people like that ?
If they live in London for 20 years she probally know nothing about Ukraine during that time
Her mom was with her came to visit from Odessa. As soon as i sad something about Zelinskyy she got triggered. Main stream in UK is all pro Ukraine and in Ukraine press is controlled by the regime so here you go
Fee Fie Fo Fum... I hear the tones of an Englishman. Cuimhnigí ar Luimneach. 🇮🇪☘️
Whatever...
Very interesting, especially his remarks about Russia at war's end potentially allowing Ukraine to enter into Nato.
I appreciate that you allow many different people to voice opinions. The British have to the most anti Russia attitudes??
Putin needs to look out for the national interest of Russia, and that doesn't include negotiations at the moment.
"Whats happening in GAZA...might do some good"... NO LESS....unfrikingbelievable..."The Great Powers"... yak yak yak... oh dear...
Thanks
So dear Prof. You don't agree with the "invasion", what would you have done?
Thanks Nima for always educating us by asking the right questions by guests who REALLY KNOW what they're talking about. This distinguished guest is OK, except it's a little "painful " to listen to him while he stutters quite a bit when he talks ! Sorry, but I felt I HAD to mention this !
But if you were attending a lecture of his, it would give more time to take down notes!
@@DomAtaGlance don’t worry, Ukraine is decimated and you will never have to worry about it again.
@@DomAtaGlance I support Russia!
I'm probably wrong, but don't the pro-war crowd claim that the Minsk Agreement was never ratified - never actually signed into a working treaty? They say it was just a verbal thing, and there is need to honour it. But perhaps I'm mixing it up with something else.
Yes - nato expansion. Minsk was 'initialed'.
No. Minsk agreements were official signed agreements. No NATO expansion was agreed, included in the minutes and written accounts of the 1990s negotiations but not written into agreements made.
@@manxman5825
Cheers for the info. I just have some sort of recollection that early in the war, probably over a year ago, Gorbachev piped up on behalf of Ukraine and said nothing was actually promised at Minsk, it was just a verbal thing.
TBH, at the time, and even up to now, they were clutching at any straw to discredit the Russian account.
No mainstream media here in the UK provides any context - regarding Russian fears of being surrounded, of the civil war in the Donbas, of the many reasons the war didn't 'just happen' because the Russians are evil and the Ukrainians are the good guys.
PM of Germany? England? Well, someone, was caught saying the Minsk agreement was never intended to be enforced but was put together to buy time for Ukraine.
Merkel (Germany) and Hollande (France)@@rainburroughs5816
Putin said the security situation in Europe should be renegotiated. How will this happen.

I thought Putin was the president during Georgia Russia war because the West actually painted a picture of Putin recreating Old Soviet Union 😢 and they used that war making it look like he was the president 😢.
Too bad for Putin, the USA needs WOAR
Do the Ukraine people understand the geopolitical strategy that they are part of? Death and destruction of their youngest males, and probably their middle aged men too, infrastructure wiped out and debt to the west for a generation which seems very unjust when the war continuation is abour the wests strategy of containment of Russia.Ukraine will be reduced socially, economically and politically. Zelensky needs to demand payments to help rebuild rather than be in debt for years and years for so called help from the west to fight this war that can never be won.
Lots of NATO military info ops TH-cam troll accounts commenting here.
The ones with nothing to say other than to mock Roberts for having a stammer.
Was pepe escabar a guest on your channel?
Even if only West Ukriane join NATO/Europe, they still have too much people, they still have too much corruption, and they still have too weak economic. People from Ukraine usually don't want to follow any laws and don't have leaders like Putin who can force them follow any laws. And they still have a lot of nationalistic veiws what never be accepted by many countries from EU. People from Ukriane for ages flourish when they side with russians and suffer when they side with russian enemies
Russia is going to carry-on munching its way into the former Ukrainian territories, certainly east of the Dniepr... Unless the Kiev regime is either ousted, or collapses. The longer the abhorrent Kiev regime remains 'in power' - the more territory will be consumed by Russia.
Based on the history of nato, guest is completely delusional about russia agree to ukraine in nato, and justification he is making.
yes of course Rutin Tutin wants peace, the object of war is peace.....
Save Ukraine! Why?
Why on God's green earth would Russia agree to Ukraine joining NATO? I'm afraid this guest isn't making a whole lot of sense.
Nutso
BIBLE SCRIPTURE " By their actions shall ye know them"... money talked and bullsh*t walks/runs...
Where exactly.did your guest accrue his "Specality" "in Russian Foreign and Military Policy" expertise/opinions???... he is seriously ill informed to say the least, sadly he is one of many well placed "Russia Experts"... False Prophets abound... he is a tool of The Hegemon... amusing

Бесполезные разговоры, кому они нужны
