Today, we look at recent border trouble up in the baltics, discuss the impact of Joe Biden’s decision to let Ukraine strike Russian forces inside Russia, we analyse the Kremlin’s recent geopolitical moves in Africa and central asia and we’re on the ground in Singapore where two days ago President Zelelnksy made a surprise appearance at the Shangri-la Dialogue, an Asian security forum.

I know this is nitpicking quite a bit here, but I wouldn’t describe Gotland Island as “small”. At 3,184 square km / 1,229 square miles, it’s almost one quarter the size of Northey Ireland.
I know this is nitpicking but why r u not very smart?
NI is itself pretty small
The escalation escalator
From the very beginning
And we must remember those famous words Western countries will fight until the last Ukrainian so imagine what Western countries think of ukrainians acetyl being used only they know
The LNG shipped to Europe via Ukraine's pipelines (to the extent that it is over 4% of their GDP) is surprising.
It most certainly would be surprising if LNG was transported via Russian pipelines.
It's GNG
Crazy how the russian pipelines travel through ukraine, to enrich Russia to prosecute its war. Why would ukraine allow this?
Sounds to me like there is heavy pressure on Ukraine to comply, to get weapons. What kind of Devils game is this?
I would like to hear from more intelligent people than my humble self.
It's point 4% not 4%.....that is less than half of 1%
@@goldenoriolesilverbirch8220 via russian pipelines gas currently is transported to europe. google south stream
China is staunchly assisting Russia in their military build up.
That's wT general Petraeus told u is it?
so?
even so, so what?
Well do they not have the right to self defence? NATO has surrounded them with almost 1000 military bases.
Not mention that sanctions are completely illegal
Nonsense
These same people said that Russia is isolated, but now they are complaining about Russia's influence in Africa and Central Asia.
Isolated from places that matter, Russia can keep their shithole influence
Good one. In the next chapter, the Western Golden Billion will complain about their isolation from the rest of the world (the Global Majority).
Exactly right! Hypocrisy is pervasive by these correspondents posing as journalists
Russia is using an increasing number of African mercenaries.
ukraine using way more NATO 'mercenaries'
@@imperatorvespasian3125 Anyway, I wasn’t saying it as a criticism, per se, only as an observation, to make sure more people were aware.
Yes, Afrians are grateful for Russia destroying French neo-colonialism.
@@user-cm8co5nx4k Gives those colonial countries in Africa a chance to stick it to the French perhaps.
and so?

Fighting back at the same intensity as being attacked is Not escalation, it's fighting back!!!
It's Game Changer No 17
interesting, towards the end, lack of strategy is mentioned. Personally, I think the strategy is to allow the meat grinding to continue to exhaust and deplete Russia's military capability, but at arms length from the West
That *was the strategy. Some underestimated the time, effort it takes to deplete a war machine on war footing more resilient (same goes for more resouceful economy) than at the first period of the war. That means it has to change, generally. Problem - there is no universal strategy, commitment or even understanding of situation from each supporter country. Commitment, understanding and offensive vs complacent strategies are roughly inverse proportionate to distance from Russia and size of country and economy too. Despite correct rethorics on the surface it's an unfortunate patchwork of geopolitics in evolving dire situation. Unless the majority of supporters match Kremlin's commitment to continue the war by any means (despite the signalling, there's no peace deal that Kremlin would accept apart from ultimatum suicidal for Ukraine), this will be forever war. Even if Ukraine would surrender (requiring all supporters to give up too), the atrocities and war wouldn't stop.
It's Ukraine's tactics, locally their war and they're doing unparalleled job for the situation. Though looks like no long-term working strategy from those throwing a lifeline for them. So my advice is to bring Europe into a partial wartime economy (yes, it will get harder, but it already has here) and outproduce Russia by value (which means partial coordinated command economy bringing down prices of weapon production). Other than that, we'll have to involve most armies of NATO members on the ground and start a massive offensive, which takes more balls against the biggest nuclear blackmailer in the World, than some goverments in Europe (nvm US) currently have. I think some hoped to wait it out until Putin disappears from Kremlin by any means, but it's not guaranteed situation would change enough - never mind stop the war - even if that happened. The fascist grip of shaika's fake ideology goes beyond Putin, so only time will tell. And time is on the side of most resilient, resourceful and quicker-adapting adversary.
against Russia? bold strategy cotton
As Russia outguns Ukraine in artillery by a factor of 10 to 1, outnumbers Ukraine by far in number and capability of drones, is able to drop huge glide bombs at will across the front line on Ukraine fortifications....... then it stands to reason that Russia is the one winning the attrition battle. Most Ukrainians will never get to see a Russian before they are hit.
U people arnt depleting anything and thank u for restoring the russian military 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@dannydetonatoru think with ur low industrial capacity ur gonna have any difference😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
America has overr900 military bases around the world. Why?

Slava RUSSIA 🇷🇺💪❤️
Russia want resources, human and mineral.
really? Your mum should take more iodine when she was pregnant
British propoganda is so crude and ridiculous it is hard to see how it works. The only explanation I can come up with is perceived self - interest. The working class felt that they were beneficiaries at some low level of imperialist looting. How does the British ruling class think it will do with a much smaller working class and an individualist, disillusioned, low paid middle class ?
Glad I don't live there
Then the brits outnumbered the japs Singapore wherever and the Japanese beat them lol then the suez crisis Irish beat them war of independence my people but the brits now think they can take on russia lol
Russian President Vladimir Putin said he has not yet made a decision about attending the G20 summit, but his participation is possible.
"I don’t know yet. I do not rule this out. First of all, I will take into account the present-day realities," Putin said at a meeting with heads of international news agencies organized by TASS.
"To put it bluntly, it will depend on the situation in the country, on our situation in the Ukrainian direction, and on the global situation in general," the Russian leader added.
Why would he go talk to any of u?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trusting Russia is self-defeating in the long term.
Really? Then how come the majority of countries on the planet trust Russia over the snake Western Imperialists?
@user-sk2hc9lm9r then why does Lithuania, Latvia,Estonia, Czech, Finland, Poland, Ukraine, Georgia.. Chechny and other countries we don't yet know of because they cant choose, all neighbours with experience of Moscow rule leave Russia not want to go back,prepared to fight to last not to stay with the 'nice honest Russians' ?
@@piseag458 Very true. To think that the US having millions of Einsteins crossing the southern wannabe border
@@piseag458 Russia doesn't want them back but Russia certainly doesn't want them used by Nato to threaten Russia with U.S. nuclear weapons either.
@richardmarsden1897 'cept modern nuclear arsenal has moved on since the 1950-60's Cuban missile crisis and NATO doesn't need them either to threaten or launch Nuclear missiles with at Russian cities.
So ukraine is allowing russia to transit gas in exchange for casg.😂😂😂...this comedy show just gets funnier😂😂😂😂
- money talks, bodies are for sacrificing ?
Russia is cleaning NATO’s clock! 😂
WHAT goods?!?!?!
Allah Crimea, Allah Donbas,
God crimea, God donbas, he's understanding a lot, staying there this journalist.
"the Finns se no reason to be worried" hehehe
I see the strategy for victory is to wait for Russia to change its apparent war goals. Given Russia has nukes, there is no alternative. Escalation is irresponsible. Allowing a Russian victory does not reduce the danger, it actually increases it, basically offering Russia and appetiser. So no decisive action is reasonably available.
Well maybe u western retards should be smarter it's too bad🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is bullshit I don’t know how it entered here!!
So America doesn't want Ukraibe to lose. But why do they also not want Russia to lose?
- Ukraine is the sacrificial lamb ?
Broken Arrows
And the fact that rebuilding them will require a lot of charity and open arms into the global markets (again.)
One thing leads to another. The response from the West on the first day of the war was -- OK, we can send humanitarian aide but not boots and helmets because that would be provocative.
Yes just like Vietnam
🙏💙💛🔥
So ukraine gets $800mill from Russia..my my..tell me more😂😂😂
Russia gets millions from selling gas to Europe
They will conclude the contract at the end of this year
Relationships with neighbours is complicated in normal times. In abnormal times it usually broaches crazy a few times.
And the Baltics are still on the Russian electric grid
This is a contract that Ukraine has with Russia, that ends this year, which Ukraine is not going to renew
Big bad boy America being so careful
USA plays TRUE 3D chess, unlike Putin.
😢😢😢
Naturally. Giants turn but they don't swivel.
@@johnbui6530Lol what a joke.... Western experts say Putin is the Grandmaster Chess Player, while the US plays Snakes & Ladders

Russia is open for negotiations on the Ukrainian conflict settlement, but they can be initiated only after the present-day territorial realities are recognized, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin told TASS on Wednesday.
“Russia is open to holding a dialogue on Ukraine based on the consideration of our interests,” he said in an interview with TASS. “Our position regarding a comprehensive, sustainable and just settlement of the crisis remains unaltered.”
“In order for this to happen, first of all, its original causes must be addressed and modern geopolitical and territorial realities must be recognized,” he continued. “The West must stop pumping up the Ukrainian military with weapons and the Kiev regime must put an end to its military activities.”
The diplomat added that endless supplies of Western weapons to Ukraine “only drag out the conflict and lead to an increase in civilian casualties.”
According to him, Moscow is taking a notice of the growing risks of “weapons spreading around the world and ending up at the hands of terrorists and criminal groups.”
“Unfortunately, there is still a bunch of people in Europe and the United States, who pursue the goal of inflicting a ‘strategic defeat’ on Russia and are ready to blindly sacrifice the interests of their countries and peoples, pushing them to the edge of the abyss,” Galuzin added.
Russia works on the minds of religious groups because they can become uncompromising in their beliefs, and thus small, controllable (by the Russian GRU) groups can have inordinate influence and cause great disruption.
Perhaps in the U.S., but haven´t noticed anything like that in Europe. All churches I know of support Ukrainian refugees.
@@martavdz4972 Indeed, I've yet to meet a Christian in the UK who doesn't support Ukraine.

The first days of summer were very unsuccessful for the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the battlefield. Since June 1, the situation of the Ukrainian Army has deteriorated significantly. Over the past 72 hours, Russian troops have taken control of not only 98% of the territory of the strategically important settlement of 'Kalinovka' to the northeast of 'Chasiv Yar' but also significantly advanced to the village of 'Karlovka' in Avdiivka direction of the front.

Комменты из россии проходят или нет ?
Forbes today estimated Ukrainian mineral resources at 15 trillion dollars. This applies only to the territory of Donbass, Dnepropetrovsk and one other region, I forgot which one. If Ukrainian mineral resources are worth so much, the question begs to be asked: what is the value of Russian mineral resources, since Russia is the richest country in the world? The West has so far invested about $600 billion in the conflict in Ukraine, which is 26% of all dollars that are in the United States. If a person invests a quarter of his entire property in such an expensive project, costing more than seven times his entire property ($2.26 trillion), then it becomes clear that this person will not stop halfway. Therefore, world war is inevitable.
Absolute garbage
0:59 was that slava Ukraine or slaughter Ukraine. What does that word mean with this es l a v a
Neither is being said at 0:59
