Such a beautiful woman. How graceful, understanding and forgiving of the Western foot-dragging that has allowed Russia to destroy so many wonderful Ukrainian lives. Give them ALL the equipment they need now! Slava Ukraine! Thank you for the great interview!
@@itsallminor6133 When those f16s arrive with all that new ordinance....We'll see who gets blown up. The west is a bit late, but not too late...hide for real botboy, hell is coming!
Havent heard of Maria,another delightful guest,thanks, and her praise for Silicone Curtain is well deserved,she was very gracious about Western dithering over supplying what the Ukrainians need to deter and defeat Putins Russia. "Death of Putin" lol!.. that's a must see movie,the sooner we get a Ukrainian victory the sooner we get to see that movie! Slava Ukraini!
As always an intelligent, realistic, thoughtful and forthright discussion. Jonathan, I hope you’ll be able to travel to a peaceful Crimea in the near future and cash in on that cocktail! 🇺🇦✌️
I share Maria Drutska's amazement at how little attention the West gave to the utterly irresponsible destruction of the Kakhovka dam - and the naive response to Russian propaganda by certain sections of the media.
Sanctions are always a slow working tool, but in the long term they are more desastrous than all the weapon deliveries. The budget deficit of Russia is so dramatic that end of the year all savings of the last 20 years will be used up.
Always love to see you interview one I already have been following! Everything you said about Maria is true plus she is charming and very informative! Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦💜
Putting Putin to rest sounds like a part of any peace deal. And ending Putinism is required to complete a peace deal. I am not a Ukrainian but I am very concerned for the future of Ukraine and its people. When you have a monster under your bed, you don't just go back to sleep and hope it goes away. Maria's words, "We don't want our children fighting this war."
The "reward" of war : 31 déc 2013 : 33 rubles / 1 dollar 31 déc 2014 : 58 rubles / 1 dollar (after Crimea annexation) 31 déc 2019 : 62 rubles / 1 dollar 31 déc 2021 : 74 rubles / 1 dollar 31 jun 2022 : 52 rubles / 1 dollar (central bank intervention) 31 déc 2022 : 72 rubles / 1 dollar (restart of depreciation) 31 jun 2023 : 83 rubles / 1 dollar As soon as the russian reserves will be exhausted by the end of this year, the ruble will start a hyperinflation trajectory.
@@itsallminor6133 In 2014, after the Crimean affair, the russian reserves plunged by 150 billions dollars and the ruble lost almost half of its value against other currencies (and there was no cost for a war). A year and a half ago the russian central bank intervened thanks again to the leverage of the huge financial reserves saving the ruble ... during 6 months. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the ruble has lost 60% of its value against the dollar, the euro, the yuan, the Indian rupee ... May 2023, the russian government decided that the federal budget will no more be disclosed. Do you think it is to hide the good results ? Or rather to hide something else ?
Thank you for such a clever and positive guest as Maria! It's so interesting to listen to her even though about the things are going on in Ukraine which are actually tragic but Maria was trying to get her idea across as much as her great English let her do this!
A very sober discussion. Respect to all Ukrainians. Especially those fighting and their families. That said, we will never be doing enough until this war is won and Ukraine has security for the next 60 to 100 years. Not only them. But us, too. We have a lot of work to do to make that happen. This is just the first counteroffensive. We need to be looking forward to properly resourcing the second and third and beyond. It's important that Russians (and especially those that run the country) understand that there will be no respite. The more decisive we are in the help that we give now, the faster this immediate conflict will be resolved and the less this will cost us all in the long run. Remember: for the Kremlin Ukraine is just the first stepping stone.
It's incredible how Ukrainians stay positive when they're faced with so much negativity in their day-to-day life under the orc invasion. I only wish I was half as positive as they are if orcs invaded my country and threatened my family. Razom do peremohi! #BraveLikeUkraine
Very nice exchange. I advocate a rapid acceleration of military engagement by Ukraine & its allies, up to and including long range attacks on the Russian infra structure. I find it ludicrous that Russia can attack with impunity, while Ukraine must observe artificial limits on what and who it may retaliate against. And , I do not enjoy the wartime humor while thousands of innocents are dying.
Can't find anywhere to watch 20 days in Mariupol 🤔 it's seems a significant documentary and it should be available to a wide audience .. this helps Ukrainian cause..
I think this is the first Ukrainian I've heard that seems to really understand that Zeitenwende is not something quick and easy. Which is quite impressive, because while Ukraine (&Poland, & the Baltics etc) has been going forward actively during the last 10-20 years, "old Europe" has sort of been in a sleep. Desperately clinging to a hope of Russia mentally catching up, not wanting to see that it was going in another direction. In many ways what has happened is even more of a mental shift than the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw pact. That just melted away and fantastic flowers of national expression and vibrancy sprouted everywhere. But it was still the stability of the post wwii world, just better.
The Death of Pootler starring Daniel Craig as Pootler, Mike Myer as General Surovikin, Christoph Waltz as Gerasimov, Colin Farrel as Prigozhin. Still thinking which actors are suitable for Girkin, Shoigu, Narushkin, Lavrov, Pskov, Medvedev, Belova, Kadyrov, Lukashenko

Since you were doing humor and that is a wonderful stress reliever especially in times of trouble, so if I may I would like to submit a bit of humor: Why can't Putin pull out? Because it's like sex education. Putin, pull out, Putin, pull out, Putin, pull out, Putin, pull out😂
My point to discuss law through the United Nations was to find more ways than the security council... underneath all that is some sort of soviet nest with disputed boarders, but the boarders were set when each nation joined the UN. Is this all more about trade policy and the world trade organization?
For 30 years I have known and suspected the character of Vladimir Putin the surprise for me has been the devotion of the Russian people. In my mind this makes them equally culpable for his crimes and I think they fear the the just retribution that is do that
A question Do you think a tactical nuclear missile will be launched from Belarus under the guise of a training accident for the Belarus pilots. If so, how would the West respond?
Yuri Felshtinsky talks about this. I don’t know how likely this would be, but I very much fear a weak western response to such a premeditated ‘accident’.
42:00 No peace deal with Muscovy is possible until the final collapse of Muscovy, and especially with so called beautiful Muscovy of the future dreamed by the Muscovite pseudo liberals. Instead of storming the heavily fortified positions, Ukrainian army could easily destabilize Muscovy right now by liberating defenseless Bělgorodъ, Bręneskъ and even Měnьskъ, but the USA, EU and NATO are strongly against such escalation.
48:50 Muscovy fall into political instability after the defeat against Japan only because it still owned Ukraine, where the revolution of 1905-1907 mostly took place, in form of the anarchist rebellions, military mutinies and growing separatism. Without Ukraine, Finland, Poland and Lithuania nowadays Muscovy is much more stable. Only few national republics such as Tatarstan, Buryatia, Yakutia or Tuva would be ready to secede right now.
Detoxifying Germany at the end of WWII required many years of research with public trials and executions. Stalin was equally responsible for starting World War 2. But never suffered any consequences. A war crimes trial should follow this war!
Interesting idea. And of course the protest and subsequent massacre was likely led by a priest who turned out to be a secret police informant or agent…. Always the Russian state manufacturers its own instability…
52:03 counteroffensive... Crimea is difficult; tough, long and bloody. 400,000 Russians total in Ukraine, they cannot repeat their large scale Russian invasion. Ukrainian slogans are their own encouraging propaganda, not realistic, Ukrainians cannot go to the beach in Crimea this September for party and cocktails. Ukraines counteroffensive is their only chance this year to recover some territory. Will cost a lot of lives. Need long range fires... that means accurate 300 km missiles
36:06 the last time a Eurpopen "power" tried to change the order of the world, we teamed up with Russia to defeat it. WE WONT MAKE THAT GODDAMN MISTAKE TWICE
Love and support to Ukraine and the Ukrainians people from an Australian

Same. It was astonishing. Can Russia do anything it likes and the UN do nothing?? Very troubling development on the world stage😕.
Thanks, Jonathan. As always, you're getting the best out of your guests.

Absolutely fantastic. She has a great sense of humour and a very realistic assessment of both politics and the current situation.
I'd love to follow a professional Vatnik basher!! 😊Glory to the brave defenders of freedom and democracy in Ukraine!
Thank you so much, Jonathan, for this amazing conversation. You are a great host, and I love British sense of humor ☺️
It was brilliant speaking with you Maria - and I hope we get the chance again soon! And of course at the Crimea beach party…
Love Maria! Have had many interactions on Twitter with her, and she is just wonderful! Все буде Україна! 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

Very easy to listen to great accent.Let me say the whole world needs to be warned about the Russian Orthodox Church and it’s full on KGB influence.
