Anyone who trusts the word of Budanov is taking a major risk.

Anthony blinken is now in Kiev. Everyone is safe now.

I wonder how many of these guys start out as drunken comedians working in a bar?

Europe needs a Pork Chop Hill moment where NATO decides they've had enough and they fully commit to stopping this war with all resources.

Nobody thinks it's a stalemate anymore.

Can the Telegraph just admit they lied for the last 2 years?

More dithering from the Germans regarding active air defence for Ukraine etc......a multitude of excuses to explain failures. If only Herr Speer was in charge of this German effort!

Yes ,everything is under control. That's great. Is Ukraine still winning

Was Russia putting nukes in Belarus an escalation?

There’s a lot of what the West should do in regards to the security council of Russia They should be guessing. Not dictating.

Georgia needs to look out for itself. The ‘Russian law’ was first implemented by America btw.. is that awkward to talk about here!? lol!!

A poorly trained, poorly equipped, low morale army advancing - very odd?

At the very least...the tone is changing.

Russia continues to attack and escalate, but NATO fears to even give an appearance of escalation. What message does this send to Putin - NATO will always be a step or three behind, so why would Putin stop?

"Escalatory steps" ..... and how would Scholz and Münzenich know what these could be ? From German intelligence .... ?

Escalation Management is such a failure. A bully only understands strength. Anything less is interpreted as weakness and invites escalation.

Prepare for the worst.

After listening to the Taurus debate for some time now I have come to the conclusion that the non-delivery is based on two things: 1. Fear of technological insights the Russians might get by one way or the other. Like a failed missile that could get into their hands or Taurus missiles stored somewhere in Ukraine might get into Russian hands by way of conquering that area. With all the corruption and failures which show up in conducting the war this is a real concern in my eyes. 2. Taurus being Germany's poor man's nuke (actually the most proprietory sophisticated longer range missile Germany has) it should be reserved for the last stand or actual attacs on NATO territory. Neither production issues nor other logistic issues (like German personnel in Ukraine, necessary help by Germans during actual use) should really occur. Perhaps the transfer of confidential intelligence like electronic maps which help the missile avoid or be aware of anti-missile batteries could be an issue. This intelligence needs to be developed and given to the missile guidance system. Other nations who are in possession of Taurus have developed/obtained their own maps. If the German intelligence should not be given to the Ukrainians for the reasons mentioned above, there will be not enough time for Ukraine to develop their own. Everything else Scholz says is just a red herring. He simply doesn't want to point out these points (#1 technical, #2 political). That is my understanding as a German. And I can understand those points.

What is the difference between the Labour party and the Conservative party ? On anything ?

I feel sorry for anyone who has taken seriously any of the absolute bile spewed on the Telegraph about this war

This is one of the most depressing wars of all time.

No war for Blackrock

No weapons. No Ammo. No Cigar. Congratulations!! Russia is bigger today than it was yesterday

Surrender

Straight up, straght down. Really scary.

Politicians put their country and citizens at rush while they invest in the military industrial complex !

The ambassador in this episode was on point. Excellent and informative discourse. Thanks from Austin TX

Thanks for the updates and your great guests.. 💙💛💙

Why would Putin what to attack this pathetic two horse town.

Looks like they are fresh out of u k r a n i a n s .

Civil war broke out in UK already 😂😂

Francis was completely full of cope today ?

One more thing. #FJB

He is not serious about Ukrainian defence!

So in summary we are still scared of Putin.

I am not sure but does this gentleman think Taurus missile is NATO soldier?

Kudos to Germany for the Patriots for Ukraine! Germany has really 'stepped up' in the absence of the US.

When i hear Germans speak about war 🥵

Have they cut the land bridge yet?

What happened to Fico? Who benefits?

Not for nothing but a lot of analysts even here on KZfaq said the possibility of offensive should not be ruled out in my opinionKharkiv and Sumy thing end up working for the 🇷🇺. I could see them launch a new thrust this summer towards Kyiv. The objectives have never really changed. They want all of Ukraine. They settle for Ukraine, being a rump state and if conditions get bad enough for Russia, I don’t know what type of compromise they would or would not be willing to accept, but I do know that Putin’s goal is all of Ukraine most of Ukraine at worst

Kaiser flappyburger a top military mind

one question is german leader a russian operative??

In the 1930s, everyone hoped that -Ukraine- Germany would destroy the -Russia- the Soviet Union. The "West" gave the German Freedom Fighters everything they asked for, and more. Austria? -- no problem! The Sudetenland? -- here, take it! On the BBC, German accents mingled with British, and everyone was pleased. It was "Peace in our time!" Soon Russia would be no more, and all of Asia would then fall to the Empire! Intoxicating stuff!

Excellent interview!

It's over...

“The West” putting defenders around Ukraine would almost certainly take the line of least resistance. They’d separate the occupied areas of Ukraine. We need to call this out.

Herr Botschafter, schick den Waffen sofort! Sage und Schreibe! Ach du lieber Himmelzeit!!!

Rule 1, on page 1 of the Book of War, is: ‘Do not march on Moscow' Various people have tried it, Napoleon and Hitler, and it is no good. - Field Marshall Montgomery speech, House of Lords, 30 May 1962

Speer was an architect not an economist and no, I am not advocating a return of his crazy boss. Putin is playing that role at present.

Up the support, Europe!

The Belgorod building was hit on the opposite side from the border. Ukraine drones are not big enough to do that dirt of damage. Their modified small aircraft would have left evidence.

Looking forward to the final episode of "Ukraine: The Latest" as Dom and Francis flee Kiev in a taxi

Thanks for your work. ❤

Blinken was playing guitar last night in a club in Kiev, Romans fiddling while Rome burned?

Where are the robots?

Great interview!! Love Ukraine.

Jump on recovery and reconstruction of Ukraine, it should be a regular theme in reporting! This is valuable.

German Ambassador spoke well and describing relations between Berlin and London as "excellent" is a wonderful thing. My old Dad fought in WW2 but had good friends in Germany before 1939. Then never saw them again...things could have been so different if there had been no invasions . 1 sept 1939 ...24 feb 2022 Slava Ukraini & Heroyam Slava

The German ambassador sounds exactly like Werner Herzog from the Mandolarian Episode 1

American weapons can't lock on...no sandals.

It's fun watching Dom.Melt down an embarrassment for believing all of the height and b*******He's been selling for the last two years

Great podcast, good to hear the German perspective. I came away with the view that despite the current level of support to Ukraine a lot more is required which includes building up the European manufacturing base and political changes.

Great broadcast! 🎉

Meanwhile, Russia liberated Rabocino (Zaporizhia region). Thus, all territories. which the Ukrainians occupied during their counteroffensive in 2023 have been repulsed!

It's about time Zelensky surrendered, even Ukro troops are siding with Russia.

Where are the F16's?

Interesting to hear the German perspective from Ambassador Berger. Slava Ukraini!

Winter proof your housing. T

The Ukraine needs trains.

Germany should be apologising to Russia for the 1941 invasion.

It's important to listen to propoganda from all sides to get a comprehensive understanding of what is happening in Ukraine & the world at large. For this reason I force myself to listen regularly to this podcast.

Over half of Russian missiles and drones are making their marks.

All Baltic states should send Help to Ukraine for noncombative positions to free up Ukrainians to fight in war as they are desperate for more fighting men.

Your propaganda failed so badly

Over 100 billion euro allocated and spent and Ukraine is losing more territory ...I shudder at the reasoning capacity of some of the people in West...more over against a poorly led, poorly equipped, poorly trained army

Thanks guys👍 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘💪

13 мая посол Британии заявил, что его страна будет ежегодно выделять на военную поддержку Украины $3,7 млрд. В Британии на здравоохранение на душу населения тратится на 20% меньше чем в Германии или Франция. Британцы Вы точно уверены, что ваши налоги должны использоваться не для улучшения качества медицинского обслуживания, а на убийства мирных жителей города Белгород.

Nato has been escalating for the last 30+ years, Russia is cornered and forced to fight.

Consider France liberates Belarus.

I wonder what the next NeoCon project will be now that this one is nearly over and the LGBTQNATOEU Alliance humiliated.

Ukraine getting smaller by the day

The national thread of Germany does not changed too much we are right ,the others are wrong ,this can not happen unless someone came kick theirs back .

Escalation; Russia only respect a turf guy not a weak guy.

The rumours are irrelevant. As Zelensky correctly pointed out: Poo-tin does not honour any agreements. Just ask Prigoshyn.

They are held at Kharkiv, they won't try it in Sumy.

oh my god - that is the German ambassador to Britain - perfect just perfect - just how i imagined - i hope we sent them Me bean

61 Billion. AAAAAAND IT'S GONE!

Incredible coverage as always 🫡

Armed with hypersonic shovels, washing machine chips in their fast depleting missiles and their drones being knocked out of the sky by old ladies tins of tomatoes. Looks like even rags like this are realising their lies are catching up with them having done their level best to extend this horror at the cost of hundreds of thousands dead and maimed.

Still listening from Alberta, Canada. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

Sumy. Everyone paying attention knows the third hammer will fall here. AFU has no defenses left

This is the most trusted and accurate podcast❤.. Awesome team that projects accurate unfoldings right on the ground! Slava Ukaraine

This war would be over tomorrow with a Ukrainian victory only if the various charities world wide diverted resources to Ukrainian made FPV Kamikazee drones and the young computer game savvy 18-25 years old Ukrainian men and women are equipped with the FPV drones. This 1. Addresses manpower shortages, 2. Infantry don’t need cars (cost is 10 drones minimum), and ambulances 🚑 (20 drones) to get them back to hospital 3. Local Ukrainians are employed instead of Chinese drone companies. (Money stays in Ukraine)

FYI: The F16's are scheduled to show up in June. But may come early. It takes a lot of effort to build an air force! One MUST have logistics, ground mechanics, inspectors, pilot training, etc. all set up ahead of time. Ukraine and US are working on it with the help of allies.

I think it is often forgotten that Russia bears some heavy blame for the human cost of WW2 and infact the start of WW2 because the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact made Russia complicit with Hitler in the initiation of WW2. The irony is that Russia complains about its losses in WW2.

Will Putin kiss Xi's ring???

I've got a hypersonic penus

Russia doesn't even have conscription in Russia proper, let alone in the former Ukraine.

Putin should “pawn” Russian Far East😂
