@@GLADICEK2 Yes because the days of large scale offensives are over when it's two opponents fairly equal in technology and capabilitiers. Both sides tried, both sides suffered immeasurably. It's obvious Russia has changed strategies to smaller scale and more volume in attacks, which is why they took Bakhmut in a long time, launching troops and tanks all at once is how you lose them without taking the cities. People said the same with Bakhmutm, then it fell...
One of the reasons the war isn't moving on the Russians side is they in no hurry whereas Ukraine is desperate to show it's western donors that their weapons and money is achieving results. As for Russian losses the Americans can't have any idea how many have been lost. It's stupid to say that Russia throws away troops. No army can afford to do that now. It's not like the first world war when million of troops were involved.
everything is not at all as they tell you, think for yourself how one side can win, whose fighters are recruited by force and caught on the street, and on the other side volunteers 40,000 people come every month, you are now on the receiving end of financial aid to Ukraine because they understand they will no longer help even money to Ukraine, in your media they say that the Russians have 10 times more shells and then they say that the Russians have run out of shells! How can you lie to your own people?
Might as well name the other positions that the Ukrainians are taking back then. Avdiivka is putin main goal for this year. No matter what, no matter the cost of a Russian life, putin wants to hold onto power till death.. or when he is overthrown. 😂
Avdijivka is a small town which had a pre war population of 30.000. It took Russia 8 years to take this town. At this rate Putin will disappear from elderly before the Russian forces get even close to Kramatorsk 😂

Ok just to be clear the plan was for Ukraine to hold out until western sanction causes Russia to collapse (which it has't) from within, NO country , or analyst not even NATO , expected Ukraine to beat Russia militarily , Russia military is designed for WW2 style warfare and has a big population and strong arms industry . Russia only struggled initially because it didn't prepare for a long war, it thought Ukraine wouldn't put up a fight , it seems both sides underestimated themselves going into this. But now Russia has adapted and its playing the long game of sitting tight and grinding down Ukraine with its artillery advantage and drones .
Yes . The prediction was they would completely collapse in Economic terms after 2 months. Then they would run out of missiles / weapons etc. All reported as fact by the BBC !
But the spin to the public to secure more billions in tax payer's money was that Ukraine could win. So we should differentiate between the lies they use to continue their money laundering, and their actual realistic plan.
Some people have been saying that for years, but so far only minor changes to the original battle position have happened. Support Ukraine support democracy.
It is delusion to believe Ukraine is a democracy. Freedom of speech is crippled, you are either pro Ukraine or a Russian collaborator and imprisoned. I don’t blame them for this as it’s wartime, but it’s naive to believe there is freedom in Ukraine.
@@alexanderpepkin4110Russia haven't even taken avdiivka yet after 2 years of trying, that's really nothing to be proud of for the country who want us to believe they're a superpower
Now some people deserve an apology for being called "Russian bots, propagandists, and trolls" for trying to explain to people a year ago that this was how things would end up in Ukraine.
Russian bots and trolls spread vicious lies and disinformation. That is their JOB, for which they are well compensated. Russia does NOT own Ukraine. Ukraine MUST join NATO to protect itself from Russian brutal aggression.
NATO is at home at the moment with its feet on the sofa watching Downton Abbey. All they have done is supply some weapons, intelligence and training to friends in need. When you see say the Dwight D Eisenhower appear over the horizon to join the party then the games will begin.
My understanding is that Boris Johnson was instrumental in scuppering the peace talks and pursaded Ukraine to fight with Western support. Now it feels like state media is preparing us for defeat, which would be a disaster and another nail in that coffin for Pax Americana embolding China in the south China sea. We may have some hairy times ahead.😢

Because the frontline has not moved in months. What other words could you use to describe the facts as they are. Might be a stalemate now but who knows what words we will use tomorrow.
@marviwilson1853 It's clear where you get your news then. If you only listen to one side of the propaganda, you are not getting the facts. That applies to both sides btw. Just for context, Ukraine went on a summer offensive and took one small village, Robotyne. Also crossedthe river to krinke. I'd call that a stalemate considering the length of the front and the expectation was to retake crimea. At this point they were heavily armed with all the goodies the west supplied. Now they've gone through a lot of men, most of the equipment and they have very little ammo. They are slowly losing ground across numerous areas of the front. Krinke is all but lost, Avdiivka is falling as we speak. Russia isn't going to or trying to blitz Ukraine. They're slowly and methodically taking ground. Russia can fight a war of attrition, Ukraine cannot unfortunately. I'm not a Russia supporter, and I don't like Putin, but don't rely on western msm if you want to know the facts.
It’s a war of attrition. Change in territory is insignificant, especially for the Russian side. More important is loss ratios, and resupply rates. Especially in terms of manpower.
Hmmm... that's a rather optimistic take. Avdivka is falling currently, a super fortified city like Bakhmut! After that.. I don't know where Ukraine will retreat.
If someone had said in 1985 that in 2024 the west would be risking nuclear war for the right to place missiles 200 miles from Moscow we'd have thought they were mad. Back then we were still naive enough to believe that NATO was a defensive organisation.
Not as mad as the person who claims Russia invaded Ukraine because of some imaginary missiles supposedly being placed in Ukraine. Or imaginary nazis supposedly about to invade Russia. Or genetically engineered mosquitoes. Or any number of kremlin lies designed to cover its disastrous war of military expansion.

@@nzredwolf4048 Would USA accept Russian or Chinese military bases in Mexico? - They would not. Why should then US military bases be accepted in Ukraine (and a large number of other countries all over the world)?
but the facts do not support that. Ukraine has pushed Russian forces back and retaken vast swathes of previously occupied territory. The Russian Black Sea fleet has been put out of meaningful action really. Ukraine is able to export grain despite Russia's attempts to stop them. Ukraine are holding the current front line and have more options going forward than Russia. Russian dead or injured now stand at half a million. Putin's so called 2-3 month SMO is now a 2-3 year war. Where in these facts do you see a winning Russia?
Yes. History can repeat itself. Remember how many wars Russia has lost - none. Russia has always won. Russia has warned many times that NATO should not expand to the east. A contract was signed. But NATO violated this agreement. So we got what we got.
A possible error in this video is that they say that the 50+ billion EUR in aid from the EU is “military aid”, in fact is is economic aid to the Ukrainian government to supplement its non-defence budget. My question is can this aid be considered military because the Ukrainian government now has space to redirect funds from civil spending to military spending?
Read an article in Kyiv independence. It said Ukraine has put their entire GDP into war effort, and has turn into a war time economy. The aid that EU and US sent to Ukraine are basically used to cover the government expense. Bear in mind the Ukrainian GDP is 183 billions in 2023 (lost around 100 billion before the war) Depends on tax rate, you are talking about 30% to 40% (if we go by Western Tax rate) of those 183 billions are taxed by the government, which mean around 60 billion of Ukrainian asset were put into Military
The sooner Russians learn to put the interests of their own people first above any promise of territorial expansion, the quicker they can stop dying in Ukraine.
Syrsky and Zaluzhny rotted 500 thousand Ukrainian military in the summer of 2023. Zelensky gave the order to recruit another 500 thousand cannon fodder... so they take everyone, disabled people, drug addicts, old people. Lots of videos of how they are caught on the streets... and then for meat in the trenches to the front line. Bakhmut, Soledar, now Avdeevka.... Speed is not important to the Russians. The Russians in 2013 did not have Crimea and 4 new regions, but now they do.
Stalemate is just a euphemism for Ukraine debacle. Zelenskyy is running out of cannon fodder. He fired his top general ( who paid at least lip service to common sense) and replaced him with his minion (Politico quotes Ukrainian soldiers calling him a butcher in an article "Zaluzhny is out, the ‘butcher’ is in") that wasted lives of close to 100 000 Ukrainian troops trying to hold Bakhmut when all escape routes were under Russian fire control and then launching wave after wave of suicidal counterattacks for months trying and failing to recapture the city. Even NYT noticed in desperation: "Bakhmut has become something of an obsession for Mr. Zelensky and his military leaders. " Western allies are running out of ammo. Zelenskyy offensive proved to be an epic unmitigated disaster. Russians rejected any freeze of the conflict. Putin spokesperson said quite bluntly that all Russian goals had to be met (denazification, demilitarization and a neutral status of Ukraine). At this point unconditional surrender is the only practical solution for Ukraine. Hitler's Germany also refused to admit defeat until Hitler killed himself, then Keitel signed unconditional surrender.
@@zoot90 Roman Shukhevych (SS officer (hauptmann) who was directly implicated in a mass extermination of jews and poles) is a national hero of Zelenskyy Ukraine. Multiple streets are named after him. Zelenskyy is quite fine with that. Moreover he didn't even apologize for his standing ovation for this Nazi in Canadian parliament, because it would upset multiple Nazis in his army (yeah, Nazis that are covered with Nazi tattoos, wear Nazi patches and paint swastikas on their tanks). There is also a bronze bust of Roman Shukhevych at the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada . ... It was partly funded by Canadian taxpayers.
@@zoot90Absolutely, it’s a state that cultivates and celebrates Nazi ideology on a legislative and cultural level. Have a look at every video regarding this topic on TH-cam before 2022 you will see what we mean. Statues have been erected, streets named after prominent nazis and Ukrainian collaborators. Ukraines president in 2010 went as far as bestowing the title “Hero Of Ukraine” to none other than Stefan Bandera a well known Nazi collaborator responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths Jews and Poles included yet we bat the eye and declare nazism does not exist in Ukraine I suggest you do your research and come to your own conclusion not everything regurgitated by the opposition is propaganda.
@@Arnold_Slater1223 They are not barley moving, the Russians have entered Avdiivka which is a heavily fortified city and for the past few days they've been capturing a lot of streets. Search up deep state map if you want to check their progress
Russia outnumber Ukraine in artillery by 5-1. Only 20% of Ukraines artillery are modern western types and the rest are old soviet types, and they are short of ammo. With its missile forces and aircraft its a 10-1 firepower advantage for Russia. So if you think Russia has lost more men and equipment than Ukraine, you are insane.
You know absolutely nothing. I am of Russian ancestry, I have family in Russia (and Ukraine). My relatives in Russia have suffered horrific losses of sons and so has everyone they know. There are tens of thousands of mothers quietly "protesting" across Russia almost every day because it takes MONTHS for them to get any word of when / how their boys died. Russia is drastically hiding the number of dead from the public, but what they can't hide are the sheer number of mothers and wives who have missing sons and husbands demanding daily for news on their loved ones. Ukraine's losses are also mind-boggling and not sustainable simply because their population is so much smaller. But I have cousins in Russia who were conscripted and forced to fight (many are now wounded and out of the war). They've told me that it was not uncommon for their forces to lose 3 to 4 men for every Ukrainian soldier they killed. Many of the Ukrainians are better trained than the Russian conscripts and prisoners and have they higher motivation to fight (they are fighting for their home, Russians are being forced to fight for something many of then don't even believe in and they just want out of the fighting so they don't fight hard like Ukrainians do). That said, Russia will still win the numbers game even if Ukraine is killing 2 or 3 or 4 Russians for every 1 Ukrainian loss. Russia just has way more people and way more industry to keep making munitions. There is no conventional victory for Ukraine possible - the only thing they can realistically hope for is the same thing that happened to the Americans in Vietnam.. the people got tired of the war and forced their government to bring their soldiers home. Ukraine is hoping to exhaust Russia and force them to quit just like the Americans were forced to quit Vietnam.
Russia does lose more man and more equipment. The problem is that they haw soon much resources in human force and in equipment that it's just too much to bare. The question is for how long...
yes right, NATO pushed us. Not that Russia has been trying to plant a puppet president and establish basically a totalitarian regime with Yanukovich. Not that Russia has demonized ANY opposition to their puppet, screaming 'fascist' at anything Ukrainian or not pro-Russian. Not that Russia is all but trying to return to the 'glory days of USSR' which is not what the majority of Ukrainians want. Not that Russia and its closest ally Belarus are totalitarian regimes that kidnap torture jail or kill any opposition that doesn't leave the country. Nono, it's all NATO. For fucks sake where do you geniuses come from
A bot does not reply I guess. What we are actually disputing is that BBC News, the Sun, Skynews, Foxnews, CNN etc.. They will only tell us what they want us to hear. Like for example Russians are fighting with shovels and they ran out of ammunition and rockets and Ukrainian counter offensive was great. When you can tell watching other channels that they are lying to you. Does this makes sense or you have other questions? @@georgeedwardes5318

One thing most analysts forget. Millions have left ukraine already as refugees plus millions of internally displaced citizens of Ukraine. Ukraine population already depleted. Where is the manpower to achieve victory. No airforce no navy no own production
I'm not talking about this current conflict but I would say that generally speaking the people I know in the north of England have views more aligned with Vladimir Putin than they do with the BBC that's for sure.

“Support for Ukraine would only increase the death toll and would not make Russia go back. Unless NATO wants to intervene” Looking at your other comments, it seems you’re pro-Russia? Do you want Ukraine to just sit back and let themselves become a Russian puppet and experience huge losses to their society and way of life?
Russia says that 5 million Ukrainian soldiers have been killed during the war. Compared to just 5000 Russian losses. These are the official figures Russia is giving.
If you want an assessment with experience, look up Col Douglas Mcgregor, The New Atlas with Brian Berletic, Scott Ritter former UN inspector and Marine, Larry C. Johnson former C.I.A.
@fredericlaine1536 If they had listened to Ritter, the US wouldn't have gone into Iraq and thousands of our men and women wouldn't have died along with millions of innocent Iraqis AND creating a mess in the middle east that spilled over into Syria.
Er, BBC, I have always defended you as a reputable news channel, now you post a nearly 5 minute video about the stalemate yet you fail to mention the lack of provision of advanced fighter planes even once? That’s either shoddy journalism or omission by design.
Barely moved ? Avdiivka - the most fortified place in Ukr land is falling and Rus is moving forward in numerous other directions too. Ukr defenses are CRUMBLING !!
Is stuck really the right word? Couldn't you best describe it as being under supplied? An army on the offensive without air superiority isn't really an offensive its more like lets give it a go and see what happens.
Problem is Zelenskyy said that he wants 1991 border, even with all of the aid they can get they literally DON’T HAVE that many people, the only way it’s possible is to conscript women and children and the elderly. The average age in the Ukrainian military is like what 47 ?
What they need supply for? Against prisoners with shovel from country that failed apart two years ago? To do what? Kill own civilians that don't agree with coup governments? Reality is that Russia destroyed everything 54 countries+USA ever sent and you can check how much is that in everything... Now it is geopolitical game where Western hegemony is losing heavily.
Understatement. USA insists on Air support for ANY mission and EVERY battlefield plan depends on it if their troops are going in. The West did not even supply AntiAircraft weapons to cover the attack. A hand fully of modern Tanks was a shame to the free world.

In wars of attrition, very little territory is exchanged until one sides economy collapses, whereafter massive territorial gains occur by the opposing side.
I suspect this ends in a peace deal with Ukraine acknowledging Crimea and maybe some of the eastern provinces as Russian, in exchange for cessation of hostilities and withdrawal from others.
@@N1315 Given the international response, it'll probably be the last time Russia tries something like this. There is a fine line protecting NATO countries from Russia at the very least.
This is typical no mention of locations where Russia re-took territory and lack of progress by Ukrainians only because less ammunition than Russia. Ukraine's problems are more than that lack of volunteers, lack of air superiority, lack of generals to bring victory that is why General Zaluzhyni was sacked. Ukraine's military command is in crisis with no clear strategum for Victory other than attrition, 2023 a year of failed Ukrainian offensives. They need to have a decent victory to keep aid levels up by end of 2024. Putin's Tucker Carlson interview is an attempt to undermine support for Ukraine towards end of 2024.
The Ukraine war is not stuck. To say so is an insult to the brave Ukraine men and women that died or were injured, about 800 per day. To date Ukraine has lost about 500,000 soldiers.
Ukraine has lost more people than Russia...they are just struggling and would have surrendered long ago, if not their president that is desperate to please you and get more money...

We betrayed Ukraine. Britain and the US signed a sort of treaty with treacherous Russia to support Ukraine's independence after Ukraine had handed over the 1400 nuclear bombs it had to Russia. We are still betraying Ukraine. We (UK) have done nothing (war industry) in the last two years to support UKR and prepare ourselves for a future where Russia will be the most dangerous enemy ever, past, present and future. The USA is no different, they do not respect agreements. Whichever party is in power should respect them.
Negotiations need to happen. to many younge men and women have died. On both sides the losses are in the hundred thousands! Watch the tucker interview, and see the history of pressure put against russia.
Land is being taken on both sides. As time goes by sometimes Russia takes more, sometimes Ukraine takes more. What we can say is that the so called mighty Russia in a two year campaign has only managed to occupy a piece of Ukrainian territory right next to its own borders. Not much to shout about really is it? I know it, you know it that Russia is not the fighting power we thought it was pre invasion.
Didn't the BBC say that Russia has exhausted it's ammunition, missiles and weapons stockpile in late 2022 and was on the verge of defeat. Why is Russia still taking territory in Ukraine today?? Why has Ukraine not retaken Crimea and Donbass within a week of its counter offensive??
Why don't you watch Prof. Jeff Sachs and Prof. Mearsheimer just for 30 minutes and educate yourself and your audience about what's really going on in Ukraine? (And, BTW, the fact that more than 200 Million people watched Tucker Carlson interview with Putin in last few days tells enough about what the rest of the world thinks about your reporting. Good luck with that.)
According to the Institute for the study of war part of the failed counter counter offensive was due to Kyiv not receiving enough of anything in terms of military aid. If the West showered Ukraine in ammunition, artillery, battery systems, Patriots, FPV drones and aviation we would be in a different position now
West cannot give everything to them because it is still not guaranteed that they can turn the tide of war, not to mention there is another front in the Middle East and possibly on South America and the Taiwan strait. Russian occupied territories are one of the most, if not the most heavily defended borders in the world even more than the Korean DMZ. US republicans are finally back to their senses to focus on domestic issues like in Texas compared to a stalemate war thousands of miles away from home. I believe they have given as much as they can but the war is starting to lose its popularity due to the economic crisis it causes on the West like inflation.

Russia only struggled initially because it didn't prepare for a long war, it thought Ukraine wouldn't put up a fight , it seems both sides underestimated themselves going into this. But now Russia has adapted and its playing the long game of sitting tight and grinding down Ukraine with its artillery advantage and drones .
Yes . The prediction was they would completely collapse in
Economic terms after 2 months.
Then they would run out of missiles / weapons etc. All reported as fact by the BBC !
But the spin to the public to secure more billions in tax payer's money was that Ukraine could win. So we should differentiate between the lies they use to continue their money laundering, and their actual realistic plan.
Some people have been saying that for years, but so far only minor changes to the original battle position have happened. Support Ukraine support democracy.
It is delusion to believe Ukraine is a democracy. Freedom of speech is crippled, you are either pro Ukraine or a Russian collaborator and imprisoned. I don’t blame them for this as it’s wartime, but it’s naive to believe there is freedom in Ukraine.

Sounds better than "being steamrolled"
@marviwilson1853 It's clear where you get your news then. If you only listen to one side of the propaganda, you are not getting the facts. That applies to both sides btw. Just for context, Ukraine went on a summer offensive and took one small village, Robotyne. Also crossedthe river to krinke. I'd call that a stalemate considering the length of the front and the expectation was to retake crimea. At this point they were heavily armed with all the goodies the west supplied. Now they've gone through a lot of men, most of the equipment and they have very little ammo. They are slowly losing ground across numerous areas of the front. Krinke is all but lost, Avdiivka is falling as we speak. Russia isn't going to or trying to blitz Ukraine. They're slowly and methodically taking ground. Russia can fight a war of attrition, Ukraine cannot unfortunately. I'm not a Russia supporter, and I don't like Putin, but don't rely on western msm if you want to know the facts.
It’s a war of attrition. Change in territory is insignificant, especially for the Russian side. More important is loss ratios, and resupply rates. Especially in terms of manpower.
Hmmm... that's a rather optimistic take. Avdivka is falling currently, a super fortified city like Bakhmut! After that.. I don't know where Ukraine will retreat.

@@marviwilson1853 😂
Yes. History can repeat itself. Remember how many wars Russia has lost - none. Russia has always won. Russia has warned many times that NATO should not expand to the east. A contract was signed. But NATO violated this agreement. So we got what we got.
A possible error in this video is that they say that the 50+ billion EUR in aid from the EU is “military aid”, in fact is is economic aid to the Ukrainian government to supplement its non-defence budget.
My question is can this aid be considered military because the Ukrainian government now has space to redirect funds from civil spending to military spending?
its also worth noting that its an allocation for the next four or five years rather than a single upfront lump sum.
Read an article in Kyiv independence. It said Ukraine has put their entire GDP into war effort, and has turn into a war time economy. The aid that EU and US sent to Ukraine are basically used to cover the government expense.
Bear in mind the Ukrainian GDP is 183 billions in 2023 (lost around 100 billion before the war) Depends on tax rate, you are talking about 30% to 40% (if we go by Western Tax rate) of those 183 billions are taxed by the government, which mean around 60 billion of Ukrainian asset were put into Military
@@cosplayshop thank you for the elaboration. The loop of expenditure to taxation is a very good point.

Why BBC missed bakhmut.. marinka.. 😂.talking about russian losses . not about ukraine wow ..free democratic world independent media 😂😂
Syrsky and Zaluzhny rotted 500 thousand Ukrainian military in the summer of 2023. Zelensky gave the order to recruit another 500 thousand cannon fodder... so they take everyone, disabled people, drug addicts, old people. Lots of videos of how they are caught on the streets... and then for meat in the trenches to the front line. Bakhmut, Soledar, now Avdeevka.... Speed is not important to the Russians. The Russians in 2013 did not have Crimea and 4 new regions, but now they do.
Stalemate is just a euphemism for Ukraine debacle. Zelenskyy is running out of cannon fodder. He fired his top general ( who paid at least lip service to common sense) and replaced him with his minion (Politico quotes Ukrainian soldiers calling him a butcher in an article "Zaluzhny is out, the ‘butcher’ is in") that wasted lives of close to 100 000 Ukrainian troops trying to hold Bakhmut when all escape routes were under Russian fire control and then launching wave after wave of suicidal counterattacks for months trying and failing to recapture the city. Even NYT noticed in desperation: "Bakhmut has become something of an obsession for Mr. Zelensky and his military leaders. " Western allies are running out of ammo. Zelenskyy offensive proved to be an epic unmitigated disaster. Russians rejected any freeze of the conflict. Putin spokesperson said quite bluntly that all Russian goals had to be met (denazification, demilitarization and a neutral status of Ukraine). At this point unconditional surrender is the only practical solution for Ukraine. Hitler's Germany also refused to admit defeat until Hitler killed himself, then Keitel signed unconditional surrender.

There is also a bronze bust of Roman Shukhevych at the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada . ... It was partly funded by Canadian taxpayers.

Western propaganda is out of control
What are they lying sbout
Russia outnumber Ukraine in artillery by 5-1. Only 20% of Ukraines artillery are modern western types and the rest are old soviet types, and they are short of ammo. With its missile forces and aircraft its a 10-1 firepower advantage for Russia. So if you think Russia has lost more men and equipment than Ukraine, you are insane.
You know absolutely nothing. I am of Russian ancestry, I have family in Russia (and Ukraine). My relatives in Russia have suffered horrific losses of sons and so has everyone they know. There are tens of thousands of mothers quietly "protesting" across Russia almost every day because it takes MONTHS for them to get any word of when / how their boys died. Russia is drastically hiding the number of dead from the public, but what they can't hide are the sheer number of mothers and wives who have missing sons and husbands demanding daily for news on their loved ones.
Ukraine's losses are also mind-boggling and not sustainable simply because their population is so much smaller. But I have cousins in Russia who were conscripted and forced to fight (many are now wounded and out of the war). They've told me that it was not uncommon for their forces to lose 3 to 4 men for every Ukrainian soldier they killed. Many of the Ukrainians are better trained than the Russian conscripts and prisoners and have they higher motivation to fight (they are fighting for their home, Russians are being forced to fight for something many of then don't even believe in and they just want out of the fighting so they don't fight hard like Ukrainians do).
That said, Russia will still win the numbers game even if Ukraine is killing 2 or 3 or 4 Russians for every 1 Ukrainian loss. Russia just has way more people and way more industry to keep making munitions. There is no conventional victory for Ukraine possible - the only thing they can realistically hope for is the same thing that happened to the Americans in Vietnam.. the people got tired of the war and forced their government to bring their soldiers home. Ukraine is hoping to exhaust Russia and force them to quit just like the Americans were forced to quit Vietnam.
Russia does lose more man and more equipment. The problem is that they haw soon much resources in human force and in equipment that it's just too much to bare. The question is for how long...
