Why go through this enormous pretense that Russia is not the enemy, we want to be friends, we'd like to get along, blah blah when the exact reverse is true? Why pretend they are a civilized nation that follow international rules, respect human rights and recognized borders? They don't do any of these things - they know it, we know it and they know that we know it.
because they have a lot of oil, and when Russia or whatever countries it splits into are rebuilt from it's ruin, the russian people(s) can be tamed and the seeds of democracy and decent human behaviour can be planted.
You can not tell a country that got attacked give up a part of your country it’s the same like the judge tell you to give some of your possessions to a burglar 🤷🏼♂️
Very poor people are earning 30,,000 dollars for enlisting plus a 30,000 bonus if they survive the war. For people earning 500 dollars a month, we are speaking of untold riches.

Well, the inequities of the draft did that. Not terribly far from Moscow in Mari El, they get drafted. It's not like it's only far east Asian republics.
I suppose, but they’re a bit leaky though - there’s cases of third parties importing Russian raw materials, refining them and selling products to the West, and I’ve heard old Vlad is not above flying planes stuffed full of gold around to get things done. If we want sanctions to bite harder, we’d have to find a couple of ways to plug a few of the holes.
If the war ends tomorrow, the sanctions remain. There is no quick way out of that this time. There needs to be a significant change in Russian leadership before that happens. And yes, a return of territory that suits Ukraine.
it seems straightforward to me. as soon as russia uses an iranian ballistic missile then ukraine gets the aproval to use storm shadow etc straight away and putin gets told this. it then lays the blame at putins doorstep.
Your comment Mr Volker is spot on. I like hearing some American officials giving such a strong support to Ukraine although it has no strong bearing at all as they’re not part of the Administration but at least their conviction is firm in their pisition just like General Hodges.
Let´s stop appeasing Putler! Appeasement hasn´t worked out for us. Stop it! Let´s stop deterring ourselves! Self-deterrrence hasn´t worked for us. Stop it!
As a UK citizen, I want the countries of Europe to play a stronger role in this invasion of Ukraine. This will decrease our reliance on the US and therefore decrease the US influence on our decisions and actions.
Problem is without US all europe are no match to Russia. They did try though. UK who used to be the world master is now a US puppet. Its okay though its their legacy
That would be nice. But America have 100% veto over how we use our weapons. Us have the overall military command and Europe have the overall political command (Nato secretary). But as the German defense minister said after Trump got the presidency, it´s time that Europe stand on it´s own feet and stop the dependency of America. But after America asked the Northern Nato flank to stand alone, while America focus their capacity on China and their aggressions in the South China sea. I 100% agree the time have come for Europe to step up and put on the big man pants and boots.
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety” is a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin.
Good interview. Interviewer kept the questions short and clear (not always the case on Times Radio!) and the interviewee was articulate and knowledgeable. Thank you.
They won't. Both European and Asian weapons manufacturers has already made deals on production in Ukraine. I think about investing in the drone manufacturing in Ukraine.
@oneshothunter9877 I wish I could invest in drone Manufacturing in Ukraine also . And the deals they have with other countries that's fine I would buy tanks planes other pieces of equipment but never give up your own research and development
@rudellward9958 the Ukranians are already developing and producing their own weapons.See the SPG Bogdinia ( sp?) Rocket propelled drone/cruise missles. Fire Drones to name just a few
Putin just announced a mobilization of 180,000 more troops. Does this sound like someone interested in peace or a ceasefire? (Hint: rhetorical question).
People realise, don't they, that democratic and stable countries like Switzerland, the UK and Norway are NOT part of the EU? And that Ireland and Switzerland are NOT members of NATO? If you have a war which ends where Crimea and parts of the Donbas are ceded to Russia, then the invasions by Russia in 1994 and 2022 will be seen to have succeeded. That aggression pays. If your neighbour has grabbed part of your back garden and then broke into your kitchen and conservatory, it would NOT be an acceptable end, after disussions with the neighbour and the Police, to allow him to keep the conservatory and part of the garden if he agrees to allow you to keep the rest of YOUR property. A further attack would inevitably follow...
I visited Russia in 1980. I found most of the Russian people to be very kind & accomodating. However, in the hotels I stayed. They had women sleeping on stretchers @ their desk on each floor. When we put our back packs in the wardrobe & locked it. These women had keys & stole what they thought they need. i HAD BOUGHT JEANS.tHEY STOLE THEM.
This ambassador is 100% correct. I see the strategy, but we cannot make concessions or take this alliance between Iran, Russia and North Korea. We need to learn from history. The longer you try to appease a dictator, the more time you give them to make their moves. There are no checks on their power and nobody in their own system to tell them no.
Today the people of Europe have a very good reason to be worried and concerned. When a country targets and kills innocent civilians with rockets missiles and artillery. Like Russia is still doing in Ukraine. And those 53 Ukrainian civilians killed while attending a memorial service. In the Kharkiv region and village of Hroza on October 11th 2023 comes to mind. Should Ukraine lose the war and Russia decides that it wants more territory than just Ukraine. Then other European countries should expect the same kind of treatment from Russia with their own civilian population. No doubt other European Nato countries are aware of this fact too. And they will do everything they can to give aid and help support the people of Ukraine. Obviously for Europe's safety and future too not just Ukraine.
The countries that understand this the best are the Baltics, Finland and Poland. And for some reason those are the countries that provide a higher ratio of their GDP as help to Ukraine.
Thank you Sir for your comment and information that I did not know about the Baltic States Poland and Finland. All wars are terrible and bad. I myself am a military veteran and served in the United States Navy on a Destroyer a warship with about 300 Officers and Sailors. And as recall the constant training for war is not only very demanding but sometimes even brutal. Like they say the more you sweat in training the less you will bleed in combat. And America's military Army Navy Airforce and Coast Guard practices those words of wisdom like it was some kind of a religion. America is always alert and ready for the next war. Because if you read your history just like clockwork there will always be another one. So God forbid Ukraine should lose the war. And going against a country the size of Russia without continued aid from America Great Britain and other Nato countries. Then Ukraine certainly could lose the war. Because the next war with American and British soldiers could be in Europe not Israel. After all the only country's that could stop Russia from further aggression and expansion of Europe is America and Great Britain. And we both have been down this road before with Europe. Along with our allies saving them twice in two world wars. With the last one World War II in 1945 having two million American soldiers in Europe. Not counting our troops from America's war with Japan. And at a cost of hundreds of thousands American lives lost. Then Great Britains two million British soldiers in Europe during World War II. And whose unforgettable killed and wounded was almost as great as America's losses. Are you reading this from Canada Australia France Poland New Zealand Norway and other European countries. I am very much aware of your countries part contribution and sacrifices you all made to help win World War II along with us Americans and the British. Of course today Germany and Japan are a great people with great country's of their own. They both are also today our friends and allies. As everyone knows the Russia and Ukraine war started in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea. Then Russia wanted more territory and illegally invaded another free and democratic country Ukraine on February 24th 2022. Russia has already publicly stated that they want to start a new world order not just conquer Ukraine. To Ukraines credit they are only asking for our help not our blood or any of our soldiers. Also this business of standing by on the sidelines and not getting involved in a war with another country who is asking for our help. This is something that America did in World War I and World War II. And it would have been catastrophic for the world and America. If America did not enter the war when it did and not a second too soon. So let us hope like World War I and World War II. That this war does not repeat itself for a third time. Where America and Great Britain as members of Nato. Would again have its military and their soldiers fighting another war in Europe. Because Ukraine is losing the war to another larger much more powerful and aggressive foreign country being Russia. And whose ambitions is not just to conquer Ukraine. And America Great Britain and other European Nato countries just continue to give aid and support to the people of Ukraine. And Ukraine can save its own country. Which excluding many hardships and some set backs. With continued aid packages Ukraine has successfully been achieving on its own.
My message to the rest of the world is. DONT FORGET WHEN UKRAINE WHEN THIS WAR IS OVER. THEY WILL NEED US MORE THAN EVER DURING THE REBUILDING PROCESS. A caring Aussie.
The fall of Putin(ism) is the not the fall of Russia. It's a prerequisite for the _rise_ of Russia. -- Necessary though not sufficient for the rise of Russia. And, to avoid misinterpretation, "rise of Russia" does not have to mean -- as Putin(ism) would have it -- invasion and/or forcible subjugation of Russia's "sphere of influence".
I don't think the average person in the west is as excited about the downfall of Russia as we are in watching Putin himself be destroyed for all of the destruction he has caused. The Russians didn't start this war- Putin did as part of some personal vendetta he has with Ukrainisns.
That was a very good interview, on the same level as Generals Breedlove and Hodges (and some of the British generals as well whose names I don’t remember).
TheyNeed to be Courageous and REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE HE NEEDS TO RESIGN VOLUNTARILY IF NOT RUSSIAN CITIZENSV NEED TO PROTEST UNTIL HE IS REMOVED THE POWER.OF THE PEOPLE IS STILL GREATER THAN 1 MAN!!!😅
The border should be where it was agreed upon when Ukraine gave up their nukes, with encouragement from the west. They were also given assurance of protection from the United States. They were duped into giving up their defense, for their nukes, when the fall of USSR happened in the 1990's.
The actual wording of the Budapest memorandum was that the signatories pledged not to use force against Ukraine, or the others who gave up nuclear weapons & that they would use their position at the UN to enforce this. There was no guarantee of protection from an external threat. Only Russia has broken this pledge, like it has broken every single pledge made in more than three centuries.
Respect to interviewer who has finally started saying Putin sensibly. Some people would stick to their ignorant guns out of ego, so props for him taking on feedback, probably from many people, and updating. That's definitely an attribute you want to see in anyone in the press if you want to have confidence in them.
Stop talking about Ukraine giving up "land" to Russia because it's not just a piece of land THERE ARE UKRAINIANS who DO NOT WANT to be part of Russia. It's not about a piece of land, it's about Ukrainians. Love from Sweden to Ukraine 💙Glory to Ukraine💛 Glory to the heroes💙
If you give in to blackmail once, it is absolutely certain that the blackmailer will repeat the blackmail - but only with higher stakes (greater threat). Eventually one day this steadily increasing stakes leads to the blackmailed is fed up and doesn´t want to give in any longer. Then the blackmailer must carry out the threatened measure if he wants to continue playing the game that has worked so well for him up to that point. Thus, if one wants to avoid the use of nuclear weapons, one must not give in to the slightest threat to use nuclear weapons. For by giving in, one encourages the threatener to make more and more new threats, because he succeeds each time. Secondary effect: Every dictator, terrorist or religious leader who is at all possible, would immediately acquire nuclear weapons, because he can blackmail others with them. Thereupon further states would strive to procure nuclear weapons in order not to be blackmailable. And so on ... At some point, all states would have nuclear weapons. - And all terrorist organizations would have nuclear weapons and all others who can afford them would have them, too. Putin is waging a war of conquest and destruction under the protection of his nuclear weapons.
Also missing from the suggestion that Pootin should be awarded a few chunks of territory is any sense of justice. No concessions. No compromise. No surrender. Slava Ukraini.
Limiting what Ukraine can attack will lead to loss of the war. Ukraine needs to be able to choose targets to stop Russian attacks. Limiting this ability aids the Russian war effort and it needs to stop.

The border should be where it was agreed upon when Ukraine gave up their nukes, with encouragement from the west. They were also given assurance of protection from the United States. They were duped into giving up their defense, for their nukes, when the fall of USSR happened in the 1990's.
The actual wording of the Budapest memorandum was that the signatories pledged not to use force against Ukraine, or the others who gave up nuclear weapons & that they would use their position at the UN to enforce this.
There was no guarantee of protection from an external threat.
Only Russia has broken this pledge, like it has broken every single pledge made in more than three centuries.
Excellent.
This is an excellent analysis.
Anarchy will hit soon in Russia 😊
I am in Russia u should to say "more anarchy" because in many way it already is anarchy. Law is only for wealthy
Very informative
A very good video, a good interview
Ukraine has their own homegrown line of drones NATO is less necessary. So I would not even entertain giving up a land
Wondering how many real, well equipped, well trained formations are left in Russia
What about the huge ammo storage Ukraine took out in Russia?
Seen from space...
I thought I saw the northern lights in Seattle but it was just the ole 30,000 lbs. stockpile that that lit up the sky. Nice show Ukraine.
@@jonnybalz It was a wee bit more, 30,000,000 kg, a factor of 2,200.
@@apveening I stand corrected:)
❤Ukrainians ❤
No Ukraine should get the land back that they had in 1991!…..Putin is a crybaby!
An impressive individual
😒🙄 Lets ask the same questions of different people every interview
You wish!!
I’m wondering what the hammering coming from within the house is …
You would think he would have stopped it somehow with you very annoying !
I must be being kept like a mushroom, this is unfortunate.
Ambassador well understands what should have been done & to be done.
Really great guest.
Putin KHUYLO!
Слава Україні! 💙💛
I am Russia, living to Samara, I support to Ukraine have many friend that support Ukraine. No to war!
I like this expert. I think one in many who actually understands that Ukraine is not an object but an actor of these events.
Respect to interviewer who has finally started saying Putin sensibly. Some people would stick to their ignorant guns out of ego, so props for him taking on feedback, probably from many people, and updating. That's definitely an attribute you want to see in anyone in the press if you want to have confidence in them.
Stop talking about Ukraine giving up "land" to Russia because it's not just a piece of land THERE ARE UKRAINIANS who DO NOT WANT to be part of Russia. It's not about a piece of land, it's about Ukrainians. Love from Sweden to Ukraine 💙Glory to Ukraine💛 Glory to the heroes💙
Is this going to end well??
I won’t live to see Ukraine rebuilt, but I feel very strongly about it
If you give in to blackmail once, it is absolutely certain that the blackmailer will repeat the blackmail - but only with higher stakes (greater threat).
Eventually one day this steadily increasing stakes leads to the blackmailed is fed up and doesn´t want to give in any longer. Then the blackmailer must carry out the threatened measure if he wants to continue playing the game that has worked so well for him up to that point.
Thus, if one wants to avoid the use of nuclear weapons, one must not give in to the slightest threat to use nuclear weapons. For by giving in, one encourages the threatener to make more and more new threats, because he succeeds each time.
Secondary effect: Every dictator, terrorist or religious leader who is at all possible, would immediately acquire nuclear weapons, because he can blackmail others with them. Thereupon further states would strive to procure nuclear weapons in order not to be blackmailable. And so on ...
At some point, all states would have nuclear weapons. - And all terrorist organizations would have nuclear weapons and all others who can afford them would have them, too.
Putin is waging a war of conquest and destruction under the protection of his nuclear weapons.
And its not like he would benefit using them. If he wants lebensfrau, it doesnt help to irradiate the entire country making it uninhabitable.
The “Stormshadow”. Proof that there are old GW Warhammer players in the British government.
At 8:36 he is in error. The UK already stated that since they do not have US approval they will not give Ukraine permission to use Storm Shardow.

Also missing from the suggestion that Pootin should be awarded a few chunks of territory is any sense of justice. No concessions. No compromise. No surrender. Slava Ukraini.
Even the Russian people can only ignore that much.
Bit off-topic but I like the ambassadors taste in decor - I’d love a wood panelled study like that!
Maybe in stead of saying Putin this ,Putin that.We should say Russian Empire !!
But. Isn't it possible that Russia could Run out of money. Men. Equipment in time?
How many former ambassadors and generals will Times Radio wheel out? How about some folks who have knowledge about what's actually happening?
And the quick accumulation of weapons is necessary for value for money. always has been the case for wars since the beginning of time
Poopster’s reign must end. War over. Done. Russia blames madman Poopster.
Limiting what Ukraine can attack will lead to loss of the war. Ukraine needs to be able to choose targets to stop Russian attacks. Limiting this ability aids the Russian war effort and it needs to stop.
He's right opportunity cost as War Comes Home, Air Defences are Zero.. Not Iron Dome but Paper Dome lol
