‘Resistance is calling; Russia will act again' | Defence in Depth

- It is December 2023. The full scale invasion of Ukraine is about to enter its third year. Russia’s assault, which was supposed to last no more than a month, has gone on for twenty times as long and there are few signs of it ending soon. That sentiment is both celebrated and cursed across the shattered country of Ukraine.
This war will decide whether Russia’s actions are the last dying twitches of twentieth-century fascism, or the bolshy teenage kicks of the twenty-first. The outcome will affect the entire world.
So as we stare into 2024, we are all in this arena whether we like it or not.

In the final episode of Defence in Depth this year, Dom Nicholls looks at the big questions raised by the war in Ukraine in 2023 as the conflict looks set to continue into 2024. Defence in Depth will return in 2024 - have a topic you would like us to cover? Let us know in your comments down below.
This war is not just about the evil fascism in this world. It is a constant "testing" of how the "good" react. The reason Putler invaded in the first place was not just hubris, but he sense the West has become careless and decadent. A literal wake-up call for countries considering themselves the decent, moral and righteous civilisation... But as much as I hate to say it, he was right: Look how slow the West reacted in sending arms (Germany, 5000 helmets?) just cause they didn't want to get off their comfortably heated marble seats (thanks to cheap Russian gas, a smart tactic used by Putler for that VERY REASON: to keep the West hooked like lazy addicts).
In the same vein, Israel's evil right-wing regime is now testing again the moral spine of the West, which has shown the world yet again how morally bankrupt and hypocritical the West is, with USA's unbelievably despicable veto for a ceasefire and some countries, incl. the UK for absentions.
If we want the good to prevail in the world, we have to WAKE UP! Stop being dependant, complaciant and indifferent. Stop letting the rotten greed of power and money rot our souls. Evil (including greed and control) is here to constantly poke the good out of their careless slumber and force us to take responsibilty to ACTIVELY promote and protect the GOOD.
Once the good outnumber the bad, we no longer have to fight them in a tedious constant battle, but rather heal them onto the other side with the love and attention these evil folk never received from their mothers in their infancy.
It's a gross over simplified propaganda piece. Muh resistance, Muh right side of history.....please! It's a war started by oligarchs foreign and domestic.
Good words Dom
No dipsh!t NATOs little puppet BS proxy war has failed. That's reality. Keep believing your own BS.
Very eloquent and absolutely correct!
Please dont end this series. Coverage from reputable news sources is getting rarer and rarer on this war. Also, how is 22,000 views in 4hours not worth it!?
This approach is far more engaging than the short clips. Also, excellent photos and writing.
It is stated in the pinned comment that the series will return in 2024.
Well, then watch WION, not this crap propaganda
My understanding is the British term series is what we call seasons in the US.
@@georgearoostook2733It is correct. However in the UK we are also using the term season interchangeably because of the likes of Netflix. In my mind a season will always be a Winter / Spring etc.
22,000 views probably from 20,000 people who cannot face the reality on the ground. Grasping for straws listening to the biggest load of disjointed BS ever published in a vain attempt to cover up what history will report as the biggest own goal scored by a deluded US/NATO attempt to encroach on Russian borders. Unfortunately it is Ukrainian lives being sacrificed for US pride.
The cowardice and short sightedness by some of us here in the west will be judged quite harshly by future generations.

Subscriber from Ukraine here. Thanks for content
Imagine making a similar version for Iraqi, Afghani & Gaza people when US & Israel are the aggressors.
West in the war on terrorism killed like 450 times more civilians than the all sides in the war in Ukraine.
🤣🤣I would look at it. It is a pity that the United States will ban it immediately.
Well it’s not feasible for the propaganda machine
@bonnie7898 all fake by US. Especially Iraq. Colin Powell and white powder - big lie about chemical weapon. US - is most world agressor and has no rights to blame Russia for anything.
This was beautifully and terrifyingly put, well said.
To my sweetest brownie.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.
Our idea of “being an ally..” is rather dangerous to our allies..
It has ever been thus
We aren't their allies. They are proxies being used by western governments to turn the pain on for Russia.
It's so frustrating to see the complete lack of enthusiasm in the western government to support a nation trying to become a full fledged part of our western alliance. They respect democracy more than we do today and that's a sad state of affairs.
Absolute nonsense. Most corrupt country in europe that definitely isnt a democracy.
Lol the only difference between the Russian government and western ones is aesthetics their both oligarchic states that wage aggressive wars. This is the natural result of the end of socialism and faternalism between nations and is ultimately the fault of the western capitalists who promised the soviet people the world only to rob their nations of all their valuables and leave them desolate oligarchic husks of their former selves
The west only cares about its own self interest just like Russia. It will support Ukraine only for as long as it benefits, and discard it once it doesn't need it anymore.
Even from an entirely cynical standpoint, Ukraine has been remarkably effective with the resources that have been given to them. I think it’s been around half a percent of the US military budget per year and a lot of the weapons that we have sent are things that would’ve needed to be disposed of anyways, and that’s ignoring your point about how they desperately want to maintain their democratic freedoms, and seem to value what that mean more than we do.
They literally overthrew a democratically elected government in 2014, refused to agree to a snap election at that time, and then unlawfully removed their President by violence.
The west needs to support Ukraine and fully mobilise its industrial base. Russia won't stop until they accept they will lose
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No!
Dream on
@@patagonianpaint China is building EV's, batteries, technology to save humanity from fossil fuels. Our leaders want us to build bombs, rockets, missiles and military armaments for what? WW3? Why didn't Ukraine follow the Minsk agreements which would of avoided this whole war?
It’s all about Putin maintaining his 20+ yrs in power and unwilling to share it.
Very poignant! Lest we forget has never had a deeper meaning in Europe since the end of WW2.
We would have lost if not for Russia
Soviets were the reason the Allies won in WW2. Brits did nothing.
@@des_smith7658ww2 would probably not have started, if Russia had not secretly signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in August 1939.
This pact guaranteed Germany that Russia would not fight, therefore allowing Germany to invade and fight Western Europe.
Also, Russia and Germany divided up Poland amongst themselves.
When Germany broke the pact and invaded Russia, both the UK and USA had to send Russia millions of tons of supplies, including aircraft, vehicles, fuel, food, and raw materials.
Resources that the UK needed for itself!
@@des_smith7658 Well Russia was with Germans until Germany invaded USSR. After war they get East Germany which Russia plundered and raped German women. I witness in 1978.
@@everest9707 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....!
There is probably a cynical calculation here. Losing the war quickly might not weaken Russia, but each day of this conflict means irreparable damage to the Russian state. Ukraine, of course, also suffers, but Ukrainians themselves must decide whether they want to neighbor with a weak or a strong Russia after the war. A loss for Ukraine would be a disaster from the West's point of view. It would show the world that NATO is weak and cannot win and support its allies. It is no coincidence that Putin decided to launch a full-scale invasion after the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan. He sensed US weakness and that emboldened him.
Really excellent: Moving and thought-provoking. I don't understand what's happening in the right-wing politics of my country (USA,) but I know Republican's denying aid to Ukraine cannot be right. I know there's no way to construe that Russia and it's leaders are the good guys. This seems like an elemental conflict everywhere, but most dramatically in Ukraine. Do enough citizens of this planet still have working moral compasses to prevail over selfishness, vainglory and oppression? I hope so, with all my heart.
What´s happening in the right-wing politics of the U.S. is the same thing that happened in Germany in the 1930´s. "That man can do no wrong." My country neighbours Germany and we studied that part of history a lot, and it certainly rings a bell. It´s the dark side of humanity that can rear its head any time, anywhere. It´s important to fight it, but also not to lose focus on the good things: fun with friends, hope and ideas for the future, fair play, creativity, understanding, honest conversations.
Like, come on, aren’t these the same people who cheer on Reagan’s interventions against powers supported by the Soviet Union. It’s like they only care about “owning the libs” rather than “defending freedom” as they claim.
Where’s all the money going?
@ericp1139 I asked the same question, repeatedly, over the two decades that spanned the feckless war in Afghanistan. 20 trillion or so, right? At least in Ukraine, I see a real fight for freedom.
Remember they also made the fatal mistake of denying aid to Israel and that will cost the Republicans.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Israel Lobby and one of the most powerful lobbies in the USA) will make them reconsider torpedoing Biden's budget. All republicans want right now is to not let Biden do anything even if they agree with him, because they dont want to give him nor the democrats political points in an election year, its a scummy tactic that makes 1 out of 4 years of the term a farse.
Amazing work Dom and the whole team at The Telegraph. Your humanity and dedication to focussing us on the most important threat that faces our future is very much valued and appreciated.
What are paying these days for rent-a-crowd participants? Asking for a friend.
Agreed. These Defense in Depth videos have been amazing. I hope they continue. Massive respect to the whole team
Now all we need is American voters to watch this
I watched it. I am still not convinced.
@@robertsteele474Amen
All I see are migrants ruining America.
It's the best audience for this type of content. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right wing nut jobs are all over the world my man, open your eyes and be extremely careful.
Is it just me or this sort of propaganda really just don't work no more
People see the truth now, so this kind of propaganda isn't as effective as it was before...
“Lest we forget” genuinely means nothing unless in remembering we also take action whenever we see evil like this. Past generations showed us what needs to be done. Freedom is unfortunately not free.
Beautiful, Dom, but heart-rending too.
A fitting last episode for this year.
Well said. I hope this series continues in 2024.
Well done Dom, consistently one of the very best articles on TH-cam
Dom Nicholls is the equivalent of David Attenborough in the world of political journalism. I look forward to his videos every week.
Attenborough is not a propagandist.
@@ericp1139 Attenborough is a propagandist for the natural world every bit as much as Dom is for world politics.
Domoniga
Dom Nicholls is on a par with Jules Verne in the world of science fiction 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ruzzky bots are incensed!
This was so ... hauntingly ... beautiful. I am both glad that I was able to experience such a beautiful tribute of words, but also depressingly saddened that it was necessary in the first place. I am a proud American and I love my country, but I am ashamed that we are so mired in political infighting that we would rather let hundreds of thousands of people die, than fight for "Freedom," which we claim to be the very embodiment of, or stand up and show the world that we are the champions of Democracy and self-determinism.
When’s the next election in Ukraine?
@@ericp1139as per their constitution, it will be after the war. Britain didn’t hold an election until after the German capitulation. Then as now, war is an exceptional circumstance.
@@stephenking27 well, neither UK nor Ukraine are sterling examples of democracy.
@@ericp1139"not Sterling examples of democracy"... explain yourself more please. I'm intrigued to hear your argument for such a statement.
@@nosnarb3970 there is no democracy in Ukraine at all. And the people of UK can’t vote for Prime Minister, House of Lords, or the King. Along with the FPTP system.
Fantastic, Honest, and well worded - 100% in agreement and support. We cannot let this Looney win his battle against the innocent Ukrainians.
I think it's a comedy channel. With healthy does of fear and war mongering.
@tomk3732 I mean, they make comments that have an element of Jest, but it's certainly not comedy. This is a brutally honest view and report of how things are. No bias, but with a sympathetic view for Ukraine (quite rightly). War mongering? I think the only war mongering in this given situation comes only from Russia. Try rewatch, listen carefully to what he says.
I hate to say this but as an American
I can only conclude since WW2
America has a long tradition of abandoning it's allies.
Incredibly moving video, best episode of the year
Beautifully said and hauntingly true
No matter how much material support the west gives, Ukraine cannot push Russia out of ukraine.
That is remarkably put Dom, I cannot say more.
Terrific piece Dom,very thought-provoking. Slava Ukraini..
Slava 🇷🇺
What about the Israel and Hamas war ?
??? theyve been posting about that bare wtf are u on about 😂
That's what the OTHER important task is.

After srebrenica your opinion doesn't really matter
It is a disgrace that Ukraine has become a political football in the US.
It's a cash cow
It’s a disgrace the USA used Ukraine to fight Russia. Shame on the USA and their warmongering political ruling class
"It's a disgrace that people are allowed to disagree with the government's foreign policy in the US!"
incredibly powerful and moving, I hope our leaders see it.
Incredibly moving, absolute poetry to capture this crisis of conscience. Resistance it is. Let's do this!
So the Russian shovels win? Certainly the ghost of Kiev can turn the tide
What? The last episode of the series ..... nooooo !
Please continue with this in 2024.
They will, they´re asking for suggestions in the comments 🙂
Client Westwood Golden saying.
ENOUGH TALK!!!
Propaganda through and through.
Russia has threatened several times to attack London with nuclear weapons, what will happen if they manage to occupy Ukraine and become even bigger and stronger? Will they forget?
100% true. What will happen if Russia takes over Ukraine and adds + 1-2 million war veterans to its army? This happened already in this century. I think everyone forgot about it very quickly.
I hope not
England is supplying weapons and intelligence that results in the deaths of citizens of the Russian Federation every day, how many English citizens get killed by Russia every day?.
Officially not Russia, those idiot talk show types did, although prob at Putins request
This is a lie, Russia never threatens those who do not threaten Russia.
Powerful and very true message! Thanks!
This is a brilliant piece of propaganda.
So many comments from (insert English first name, insert English surname, insert number) that seem to be very pro Russia.. How interesting.

I wish they would've made an episode about Tony Blair and Iraq Invasion like that too.
The MIC just wants to make as much money as possible, at any cost.

A professional piece of propaganda. All the right devices - emotional, dramatic, graphic imagery, virtue signalling, black and white picture... Absolute evil threatening pure good. But just manipulative propaganda, comfortably simplifying. A far cry from any reality on the ground or any real solutions to the dire situation.
But the resistance....evil empire....we are the morally superior exemplars of truth...
We the People support Ukraine - If some members of our elected government do not, that is why we have elections
lol speak for yourself clown.
Brilliant work Dom. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇦🇺
I think that was the best thing I have ever seen from the Telegraph. Thanks so much for putting this video together. It sums up exactly where we are and where will be if the collective West does not wake up from their continuous slumber. We need to fully comit and stop all this dithering and trying to come up with new excuses why we cannot give Ukraine what it needs to "win". Ukraine is fighting so we do not have to. There is simply no excuse for not fully backing them to win.
Was there such a powerful speech about the invasion of Iraq? What about blaming and shaming Bush and Blair?
@@chynizara Bush and Blair have been blamed and shamed endlessly for the past 20-odd years and quite rightly so. But this is here and now and Ukraine needs support and I am very glad that the Telegraph has made such a video.👍
@@yamahamusicians Are there arrest warrants against Bush and Blair as for Putin? Are there sanctions against the UK and USA? Double standards
I should have guessed. Another Russian troll. @@chynizara
@@chynizara
❗👍Good questions👍❗
according to Zelensky.....he needs 20,000 troops every month...does it mean that's how many were killed in the battlefield every month? already most soldiers were middle aged men. Ukraine should also make their own series of trench lines across the front to prevent any advances by their adversary.
I think by now Ukraine population was cut by half! Is the war worth it?! The West wants to give more weapons to Ukraine, who will manage that,?! Why the war started in 1st place and why it couldn't be stopped by diplomacy instead of war?! These are the questions to think about!
NO more money for Ukraine!
Please don't repeat idiotic propaganda.
How come u guys have ignored what's really happening in Gaza and the suffering its people are going through
Beautifully and powerfully said 💪
I used to think morality and decency mattered. Not so much anymore,
They still matter. We shouldn´t give up on them. Might look useless today, but believe me, it will matter to our grandchildren.
They still matter. Recent events merely underline how very much they matter, and how important it is to defend them.
Ideological, emotional, based on wishful thinking, not objective. Not a proper journalism.
did he just call putin an '' angry lil man '' ?
The Telegraph has gone absolutely nuts.
50 countries and USA proxy Ukraine against Russia and they lost 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly.. and they still live in denial because they fear to face their own people & the whole world that they all combined lost against Russia..

“A weakened but vindictive, conceited and entitled state will emerge from this hellish landscape, hungry only for more power. It will conclude that might is indeed right. That the strong can do what they like and the weak have to suffer what they must”. For a moment I thought he was talking about Israel
It all comes from America basically
What a wonderful speech. Almost poetic in its powerful message.

What a stupid comment.
Why drip feed kit always too late? Always reacting to Putin's aggression gives him the initiative. The "West" expected Ukraine to conduct an offensive without air cover. They only ok'ed tanks too late to join & F16s when results were poor (both needing months of training). It's disgusting, a terrible strategy.
Look fir the inte lions in the actual result. Look at drip feeds g arms as I mention all, not a result if incompetence
Zelensky is not a normal person
nope, hez a wartime president!
Concur with all the comments here. Thanks Dom and team for keeping the flame of freedom alive. I’ve read so many books about appeasement and de-sensitization, but always thought we’d learn from history. As a Brit, now American, I’m ashamed at how easily they are giving up the fight.
This guy speaking should go to the front lines.
brilliantly, brilliantly said. Very moved by the words. Very saddened by the state of affairs.
As Russian oppositioner that was hard to listen, but there was nothing I disagreed with.
The mindset of “Small angry man bad. Western people good” is kind of tiresome in this video. This ninja narrating aint finna be in the goddamn trenches. He’ll be making another video on his $2500 macbook, drinking his $10 tea. The question he is posing is then “why wont the poor do what us, the elite, tell them to do?”
Exactly! Sounds like cheap populism to me, feels like I am reading an old 19th century book about the "civilized west against the barbarians".
More tanks and guns cannot end this war. Technology has made frontal offensives too costly, for both sides.
There is no military solution
A sad war where a lot of Slavic young men have died because of geopolitical reasons and wrong decisions.Just think if a decision was made to negotiate a peaceful solution instead of thinking that they can win.As usual both sides made mistakes and are going to perpetuate hatred and genetically they are almost identical.The first time I had a fight at school wasn’t because I wanted to fight this guy but because someone pushed me onto him and the fight started so baseless fight which created an enemy for ever even though we were both school mates beforehand.I know it is not the same but to me it was planned and it escalated from there.Ukraine even though a large country was poor and I can see that being included into the European Union was the main reason some of those decisions were made at the beginning but was it worth it.
A deep and proper video with the right message to a west that needs to find their strength, courage and moral compass. We must never fail Ukraine as they have not failed us in their brave committed and just defence.
Very moving and stirring stuff Dom, excellent and true as always.
The outcome will not affect the entire world. It will have no effect where I live.
If your following this conflict one sided then I can see how this fits into conformation bias. However if your following this conflict from both sides this just falls inline with what most would call propaganda.
Great reporting, couldn’t say more
What a brilliantly poignant and poetic assessment, love your words ! Why do we still allow these utterly dysfunctional,paranoid,self-obsessed losers to dictate who lives and who dies ?!....It is intolerable,and we all need to stand up against this brutal egocentric barbarism !!
Europe sits on its hands again, a similar outcome to Yugoslavia 1990s. I read that on Crimea 2014 the USA gave up when Merkels EU dragged it's feet (for Putin's gas?)
Well done😢. Lets hope for the best in 2024. 🇺🇦🇨🇦
