I'm a Ukrainian American from Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Mahlay is modest (as are most Ukrainians). He is also the head conductor of the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus. It was always an honor and privilege to attend their concerts and have a small group of them perform on Christmas at my grandparents house
So, Russia can use North Korean, Chinese (recently seen), Chechen and whatever else they can muster, but Putin insists that Ukraine fights alone?
It's the West insist that Ukraine fights alone. Putin and Russian citizens knew since 2014 that NATO uses Ukrainian meat to fight Russia.
World Cold War 1
I understand that Chechnya is a Russian republic, a member of the Russian federation. It is therefore not surprising that Chechen soldiers should be fighting in the Russian army. - There are no North Korean soldiers fighting in Kursk or in the Donbass. As for Chinese soldiers, we are in fantasy land.
@@williamtell6750 Russia annexed Checknya too
@Batang2012 That's a different conversation, and I won't go into it now.
Thanks for highlighting an American podcast ❤
We need Politicians with Balls👍
Good luck
And with brains..
Europe did never need oil or gas from Russia. We decided to buy from them in 1973 to help them to develop, in hope of getting along better. Well, the plan did not work out - so we will stop that.
Russian gas is much better value than US LNG. Replacing the dependence on Russia with a dependence on the US will make Europe's industry less competitive.
Russian gas is very bad value because it is used to pay for thugs and their weapons whose objective is to undermine Europe. Much cheaper for Europe if those thugs can't be afforded.
@@williamtell6750at least they are using freedom LNG
@spxr Helped Russia develop? 🤣
@@williamtell6750 False economy. Russia is a hostile and unreliable provider.
Great work as ever, really appreciate your podcasts, listen every day but as my usual provider is not working watching on TH-cam and able to comment. Please keep up the fantastic work.
I was glad to hear in your report that the oil seaport of Ust-Luga was hit. I hope they can also hit the port in Primorsk. If Russia can't pump the crude oil then they can't sell it. I saw DPRK war materials arriving by train so I wish Ukraine would take out a rail bridge to stop that.
Massive fishing trawlers towing 1 mile long nets under the spy ships certainly will “accidentally”redirect the submersibles. Fishing trawlers have right of way over other vessels when their gear is deployed, this is because they have what is called RAM (Ristricted Ability to Manuever). All boats including sail boats must avoid them. In short, set a criss-cross fish trawling pattern and send the navigation map to the Russian spy ship so that they follow the rules of right away. A collision with a holy trawling net is cause for boarding their vessel.
Great idea
I believe the Interim Syrian Administration has asked Russia to pay for reparations concerning the devastation caused by their air force in Syria and for the extradition of Assad.
What is more important to Russia? The protection of a failed allay, money for reparations or their bases in Syria.
Russia are going to lose their naval base and airfield in Syria is the answer
Russia will sue them for the rent paid on the base.😊 ... ISIS now known as IS runs Syria.
It has been a revelation to the world that Ukrainians are a sturdy, intelligent, brave people. How did the world not know that?
It was a country people never thought about! I am considered an eccentric; because I was interested in the Ukraine.
To be fair, how could the people from the West know that Ukrainians had all those attributes? That is what I thought about the Poles; because I am a WW II history buff.
@@Canadian_Skeptical
"......interest in Ukraine...... history buff......."
What's your take on C14, Social - National Party of Ukraine (Svoboda), Right Sector, Azov Movement, National Corps, e.c.t.?
Enjoyed interesting topic about support for combat medics and hospitals on the front. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
I must say, U:TL has really stepped up the thumbnail game. It does make it a lot easier to distinguish new episodes. Keep up the improvements.
Wanted to write the same 🙂
agreed! nice work team
New nail polish would help as well.
Slava Ukraine
❤️❤️❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
If an illegal action takes place in international waters is there not an internationally recognised response and repercussion
Thanks TT!
16:00 Bravo, Francis ! !
Too bad we have to listen to Trumpy Dumpty's intro words every time we tune in
Why?
I don't hear that when I click in on YT. Thank goodness!!
no reports of refinery strikes Dom, but what about the oil pipeline /pumping station being bombed
Bring back the old thumbnails. They're more visually distinct when looking through the channel's vids
A change of tone? Well done.
There will be confusion and tears.
6.7 million Russian tourists visited Turkey alone in 2024. 😁😁😁
Yeah, a tuch of freedom now and then..
7:05 i cannot say anything about your pronunciation of Russian but as a German may I suggest to say "Wee-ss-baden" as "ie" is pronounced like an English "e" as in "meet". The other way around the "ei" is ponounced like English "I" as in "like".
Why can't I find the episode on my pod catcher?
Chicago has their own Ukraini Village & would love to know what they are doing to help Ukraine win!
I felt ashamed by Trump;s funding pause.
He's determined to snatch defeat from victory
A policy promise that Americans voted for... yeah. That's the shame.
@@rhys5567 Yeah, it's a shame so many Americans drank that koolaid.
@awf6554 In January alone, Ukraine lost 500 sq kms of territory to Russia. To put it in a perspective, it is equal to the size of UAE and Bangladesh put together.
Pro Ukraine people should support peace deal ASAP.
Hamish has worked with HTS in Syria for years
Desperation by Russia
Everything is wonderful in Russia! Come and see for yourself.
The question is not that Russia has taken some hits from Ukraine but which of the two can withstand taking hits the longest. No Russian gas should be bought until Russia has left all of Ukraine.
No Russian gas should be bought, *period*. It may however form part of a reparations deal.
What's going on with shipping? is an interesting site with recent posts about the shadow fleet. Up to date, presented by a highly experienced seadog.
Mysterious ship, ghost of Kiev, 10, 000 tanks, legitimate Ukrainian President, Big Foot, Nessie...
Ukraine’s armed forces are facing "a desertion crisis," The Guardian reported.
Thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have abandoned their units, the newspaper wrote. While the exact number is a military secret, The Guardian continued, officials describe it as large. Ukrainian troops have been on the frontline for months without a break, they explain.
The Ukrainian military leaders have lately been complaining about a complicated operational and strategic situation in the combat zone. The critical shortage of manpower in the Ukrainian army has become a serious issue that the authorities have been struggling to resolve by increasing mobilization. Defection, sometimes on a mass scale, has been a separate problem. At that, Kiev is trying to shift responsibility for the failures of its troops onto its Western partners, accusing them of untimely or inadequate weapons supplies.
Why do not voluntary nato militairy secretly step in. Common, the Russians did it all the time before the war.
Talk about the Holdomor.
Im not buying the telegraph ever again . The content here is absolute lies . Even someone here used a word Doubleley 😅 . Cannot even speak English .
And dom up there talking about serious observers of this war after his entirely amatuer and sensationalized narrative since day one is particularly galling.
Russia has been pissing on NATO ‘s rulebook for decades now. It’s time to start playing by his rules. Use force, which is the only language he understands. Why is this so difficult for us?
NATO has nothing which can match Russia's current weaponry. Give it a rest.
Russia hit several cities with over 100 drones and 48 rockets. Ukraine anti missile systems didn't manage to take down any missiles which lead to all targets being hit.
Which Germans, Francis?
do not give up supllies and support to ukrainians.
Royal marine commandos, not British commandos
Re. imports of russian gas to EU, here's a simple idea: set EU-wide trade tariff at 500% on all energy imports from russia (including both piped and LNG gas), all of which goes directly to the national budget of Ukraine. Now if someone wants these imports removed from sanctions that can be discussed, but tariffs will remain, meaning that for every €1 going to russia (from which russia still needs to cover its costs), €5 will go to Ukraine. This also means that the price of russian gas won't be competitive within the EU, thus ensuring investment into alternative sources of energy.
Bankrupt the EU? Oh, good idea.
doctor mahlay sounds a lot like bill murray!!
Imagine thinking a submersible could recover an ice breaker. Imagine thinking a cargo ship couid carry an ice breaker. Memphis clearly has no clue.
Britain used to lead the way,get a grip 👍
Ukraine lost only few. They didn’t have 🤷🏻♂️
As usual Putin's pathetic manoeuvres will back fire. He is in real trouble now. The economy is creaking and social unreast is increasing. A commenter said that there's a big market there now for red caps. Not sure if that can be believed but then I remembered the Prigozhin march and I thought maybe it's a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
@marisabenson1222 This post could have been written in 2014. That was the prevailing wisdom in the West at that time. When will commentators man up and admit they were deluded as is the current case?
I heard Rubio Ukraine cannot win. So DT thinks otherwise?
Dom needs to work on his German.
Russia has other neighbours with border disputes and territory it will have to protect (including with China and Japan who want their land back). So it seems reasonable to assume Russia needs to dedicate some heavy metal to those challenges? Or do we think they’d place all their chips on a win in Ukraine?
to what challenges? Japan is forever reluctant to participate in any military engagement due to it's ww2 heritage and China is waiting for Russia and Westerners to weaken themselves hard to then jump on Taiwan when NATO the weakest.
Will this podcast still be here in 6 months if Budanov's (Head of Ukrainian intelligence) prediction of Ukraine defeat in that timescale holds true?
Russia builds 1000 thanks every months, mr meatassult
LOL. Right
Of course they do. And chocolate production is up 3000% comrades!
Those aren't tanks. They're poorly made cooking cylinders
Your losses figures are nonsense.
Give me yours.
Lots of assumptions going on here. They have no idea what goes on in Russia.😊
Mealy mouthed.😊
And. More ?
With such colossal losses in armour, it looks as though the Russian Federation is arguably in a pretty tough spot😊
Not arguably. They're in an impossible position.
Russia run out of all weapons in 2023 and is fighting with shovels!
Not impossible, looks like they have been in this situation for almost 3 years... 😄I bet this time we are getting close to the realization of the argument
The are in rapid retreat Westesrds towards the Dniepr as we speak
@@mitchyoung93 Rapid? only 3 more years huh
podcast= more like copecast.
Today, 22 corpses of civilians were found in the Kursk region, in villages that were liberated from the Ukrainian occupation. Is anyone going to comment on these cases the same way everyone was yelling about Bucha?
Try harder, pathetic troll 🤡🤡🤡
That is a valid point.
Tou not get sick of lying
Kremlin ?
10K tanks!! alot of bullshit here
Totally delusional.😂
Moon over Parma bring your love to me tonight, guide her to Cleveland underneath your starry light. She was doing the Hula, I met her in Ashtabula, moon over Parma tonight!

Again the meat assault comment. Has there been any video evidence yet? Been waiting for three years now.
Ukrain would easily win if they had trained their youths from the very beginning. They would not have shortages of soldiers to fight.
I agree . I never saw military boot camps in Ukrainian villages , just lots of men sitting around in taxis.
Francis why was the e u's dependence on russian oil a disaster?
Was germany growing too fast?
Problematic because of the political influence it gave Russia over German politics, the German economy, and how it impacted Germany's foreign policy, all very negatively. Had Germany a greatly varied energy market where Russia was only a bit player, there's a good probability that Putin would not have been emboldened to agress upon Ukraine.
Germany grows slower than the USA who don't import Russian energy.
Because the west's helped and believed in the new russia, how wrong we all were. I pity the Russian people.
@@alacazabaBut the german economy was the biggest one in europe thanks to that relationship.
So your conclusion is all wrong.
@ The German economy has always been the biggest in Europe since the 60s. It maintained decent health not because of cheap Russian fuels, because of the huge market Germany had selling things to China. Take a look at the Sino Deutsch trade numbers, they dwarf any savings on energy by a massive factor.
Just bollocks to the peasants who need jobs and money govnas?😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kremlin ?
The west is running out of gaz.😊
The east is crumbling under dictatorship.
I wonder why i bother listening daily to this tripe
So dont
We love Putin ❤
What's the weather like in Petersburg?
They forgot to mention Russia is out of ammunition.😊
Go away, deplorable
@@ginniemesssovjeticus
th-cam.com/video/QC6JMyhd_zc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7qx52mXjveTHS6l7 Russian victory
lol 10,000 tanks , they are taking more Ukrainian territory daily. This is pure propaganda
Pure facts hurt eh igor?
10k tanks is like the strength of 3 divisions. If Ukraine can do this they should have won long ago.
Ukraine DID win long ago. That tiny country that doesn't even have a Navy or Airforce has haulted Russia in its tracks, taken Russian land, and won both air and sea supremacy.
The fact that Ukraine stands means that Russia has lost. Period.
@@spamula30 yes yes. Very very won. Keep on believing.
Truth hurts eh Ivan
i dont see video
Sound only. No pretty pictures. It is a pod cast.
Its a podcast. It does say that under the words '10000 tanks'🙄
Without even bothering listening to it, how many Russians a month are they now claiming being lost?
They said it was 40k for Janurary before the month had ended, so I presume the numbers could be 50k a month they are claiming. With the 40k claim that would mean 4 frontline Russians divisions lost each month
They have been making the claim of 40k Russian loose a month for well over a year, So the claim is at least over 50 Russian divisions lost in a year. In the US army approximately 10% of the army are combat soldiers the rest in support, which highlights the utter absurdity of these figures. There would be no Russian combat soldiers left, the Russian army would have been finished long ago, but they still come out with these ridiculous lies and some believe them.
These figures are verified from verified video evidence. The Russian army is notthing like he US army either.
What Dom meant to say was that Israel was sending the Patriot missiles they were going to destroy because they were so old to ukraine.
Dom uses words like blades in a blender to turn reality into a smoothie.
Russia using meat and salts to cook the dawn bass on the campfire skillet.
A beautiful breakfast on the side of the lake.
According to UK "experts" and "specialists", Russia is fighting with shovels since 2023.
Anyway, Romanian presidential candidate Calin Georgescu (so popular that EU tried to ban him from running for presidency):
"The world is changing. Borders will change. Moreover - if the borders change, where will we be? We have Northern Bukovina (currently Ukraine) - interesting. We have Budjak (currently in Ukraine), we have Northern Maramures (currently Ukraine) - right? From the former... what was it called... Transcarpathia! There are also Hungarians... Lviv, which will remain with the Poles, and Malorossiya.
One hundred percent, that's how it will be. Well, they have no other way! The road to something like that is inevitable. Ukraine is a fictitious state. It is the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic".
Whatever Rusbot 😂😂😂😂
Yawn
Lies blllllshtttt
Putin…😂
All this tough talk but the shovel still reigns supreme 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who or what is the shovel ?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂 UKRAINE LYING CHANEL
Kremlin ?
How to threaten Putin support Siberia with supporting the Siberian people for them to take their country back even arming the Siberian people.
Will they ride Reindeer into battle?
There are independence voices growing, but slowly. These social processes take time and we shouldn't speed them up forcefully. Otherwise there wouldn't be enough basis for unity and any created state would collapse. Speaking very much from experience of my country. It took 100 years of intense National Revival, and then the country was ready to become a fully fledged, educated democracy.
@martavdz4972 There is no independence movement in Siberia. The Western NGOs were all kicked out. It is. Western wet dream to take Siberia, but that wont happen.
It has been a revelation to the world that Ukrainians are a sturdy, intelligent, brave people. How did the world not know that?
They forgot to mention Russia is out of ammunition.😊
