In both world wars Ukraine played a crucial role. And it has always been at the crossroads of multiple nations and has always been within their interests. The people of Ukraine have been suffering for too long.
Really struck by that story of the Ukrainian who was injured and lost two friends in the Carpathians due to unexploded ordinance from WW1. My heart hurts. So many of my closest friends have a very special affection for the Carpathians and that region of the country, including one, currently serving in the forces, who owns land there and wants to return there in peacetime to reconnect with their roots. I think regularly about how it will take decades to de-mine Ukraine; it is now the nation with the most mines in the world. This will require a multinational effort, lots of money, time, and bravery to do, as regardless of de-mining equipment, it is not a task without its dangers, and it is likely not just mines, but other unexploded ordinance may be present from the prolonged conflict in the Donbas.
I find the First World War really fascinating, in a way the Great War continues today. The Second, First & Cold can easily be seen as the same conflict, with Orwellian switching, which continues. Sadly it’s centred on a country with the potential to be the a peaceful powerhouse of Europe, (not needing to force external resources)
17th century? Hmm... didn't Poland conquer Moscow at the time? Trying to install a false czar (Demetrius)? It didn't work out, though... Then there was Napoleon. After that, the Germans in 1914. Followed by the Allied forces in 1918/19. Then, the Poles in 1920. Finally, Hitler.
Ukrainians also fought at the Western front of the 1st world war as part of Russian expeditionary forces sent to prop up the French (some 20,000 soldiers).My grand, grand, grand father was one of the grenadiers mobilised near Kyiv and took part in the battle of Verdun. He returned to Ukraine when revolution broke out and was executed by bolsheviks for organising an uprising in Brovary in mid 20s....
The newspaper these journalists work for is actively supporting Trumps reelection. The always play down Ukraine’s achievements and play up Russia’s. Ever wonder why that is?

Francis brings up a great point that procovsk is no longer a hub of any activity Since all of the regions it used to be a hub for, no longer have any military forces to support nor any ammunition to send them if they were still there.
In a previous episode they went over how some of the defenses (not sure where) where built by civilians with little military input and they where in poor locations, like in a field next to a treeline and where quickly abandoned for areas with better natural cover so I hope they don't make those mistakes again
@@sammiller6631That's a great question and the answer is yes. Both those cities were considered fortresses constructed on top of fortresses built decades ago. That's why anything rapidly built today will probably not survive.
Yeah, sure. N Korea’s recent history of illegal wars, occupations, regime change, and proxy wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia etc. is a legitimate cause for concern.
Bagging your enemy (china)to stop NK, is one way to deal with problem, but leads to US humiliation Another, is to give Ukraine what they need and lift restrictions ! Deterrence and fear of escalation only makes the matter worst! N.Korea already developed what they shouldn’t because of toothless American geo-politics
Well, if Trump gets in he can have a word with his chums Putin and Kim to calm it down, then Trump will be a hero to the world yayayay, Trump, he did it!!
It has to do with their progress relative to their resources, and expectations of modern militaries capabilities. Russia is suffering losses - and yielding the kind of results - that would never be tolerated in a modern western army.
Not like the Telegraph to one day have a guest on talking about demonstrations in Georgia the next day scoff about the idea of the west encouraging demonstrations then the next day have another guest on talking about the plans to interfere in the Georgian political process
As incoherent as strategic causes of war often appear, ultimately wars are about resources. The defender has them, the attackers both want them and are prepared to use violent measures to achieve that aim. The Russia/Ukraine war is no different.
All russian advance is marginal since it's occurring along the edge of the front line. It has marginally moved from the russian border to the dnipre river. The marginal movement will continue westward To the border of poland if necessary.
Yes and then what?can Poland really sit still and wait to become the frontline to Putins armies when the know Russia probably will keep pushing since their economy will most likely collaps if its suddenly an end of the war.I think Americans need look at history,ww2 didnt start over night,it took some years to escalate and drag also them into war.In some years they be in same seat as right before Pearl harbour if they dont help Ukraine win back their lands now.Same goes for all Eurooean goverments tok .Step up now or pay with thousands of dead ppl in a few years time
Did i hear that right? A Ukrainian army General saying our front has crumbled..and that message being echoed by Ukraine the Latest moreover by Francis Durnley...Now these surely must be the biblical times mentioned when a Lion will sit with a lamb in a Den..😂😂
Absolutely no chance of Sth Korea sending arms to Ukraine. The Sth Korean people would bring down the government. This idear is very very unpopular and the Sth Korean president is just hanging on.
Another Russian devastating strike destroyed a large batch of 155 mm shells supplied from NATO to the port of Odessa. As a result of the large detonation, a fire also destroyed fuel depots and workshops with naval drones in the port, as well as some military equipment, including up to 12 Turkish armored vehicles.
Just amazed at how much of an echo chamber this and other podcasts on all sides of the issues have become. I guess that is how the world eventually falls apart and perhaps it is ok, as long as it does not lead to more violence and wars.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue launching devastating daily strikes ruining Ukrainian rear infrastructure. Russian drones and missiles are pounding targets both at night and during the day. Representatives of the Air Forces of Ukraine stated that Ukrainian air defense shot down 39 Russian kamikaze drones Geran-2 out of 71 over the past night. According to the official report by the Ukrainian command, Russian drones were shot down in the Kirovograd, Kyiv, Sumy and Poltava regions. But in the morning, Russian drones continued to circle over the territory of Ukraine, in particular in the capital, destroying more targets. The command of the Ukrainian Air Forces noted that Russian drones constantly change course and may struck their targets from different directions. The Russian military is trying to overload Ukraine’s air defense systems as much as possible. Therefore, they carry out massive attacks with the help of inexpensive kamikaze drones. The Ukrainian military complains that the Russians began launching drone strikes almost round-the-clock in order to save missiles and simultaneously conduct reconnaissance of Kiev-controlled territories. It was recently revealed that some of Russian Gerans were equipped with cameras which allowed to observe areas in the deep enemy rear. Ukrainian military experts claimed that Russian forces began to use updated kamikaze Geran drones with thermobaric warheads. Although so far, Russians do not use this type of drones en masse. The upgraded UAVs are reportedly equipped with warheads similar to the one used in heavy flamethrower systems of Solntsepek aimed to cause fire and increase damage.

Will the defenses being rapidly constructed in prokovsk be enough?
Look at vuledar or bahkmut for your answer.
