@ListenToTimesRadio: Thank you for your work. I am a regular listener and catches most of your shows. But there is one thing that annoys me a bit about some things being stated in this interview. Its the thing about the West promising some weapon systems and then not really following through on it. You hear this again and again in journalistic circles. And it is basically not true. The promised F16s are not behind schedule. They are NOT meant to be in Ukraine now. They cant even be there! There are no ground facilities for them, no runways have been prepped to the standard they require (they are more picky than the planes UA has now). There are no ground crew there to maintain them and lastly there are no pilots to fly them. It was the same with the tanks back in 1st Q23. It was decided in Jan 23, the tanks from PL, GER, UK where all there in March as promised after a tremendous effort: get machines ready, setup supply routes for spare parts, ammo, train mechanics and crews in just 10 weeks. But again and we heard from journalists that they were not there on time. The same with the so-called "war fatigue" among Ukraines partners. I hear it from media persons every day. But I have not heard a single European politician state that now the war has been going for too long. Or now maybe its time for negotiations - nobody. And Zelensky confirms that there has not been one case where he felt pressured into this. At least in my country - Denmark - you hear nothing of it in our daily life (well there is always a couple of Russian paid influencers) but no politicians, no unions, no people - nobody says "Hey we can just give less to Ukraine and have that new school" . There are a lot of discussions on how we need to allocate more funds to kindergartens, hospital and all sorts of welfare institutions. But not once have I heard anyone suggest we finance any of that with funds going to UA. Even in the States, the discussions around Ukraine funding is not about "fatigue" really. Its ideological or internal US politics that drives it. So where does it come from? Probably its from Russia, and then in second round you! I know I kind of let the sins of all the media fall down on you - which is not fair. I just wish you would stop making up your own narratives in the media for no good reason and at least have the facts right when you state specific things like F16s are not there on time, when it is not the truth. And also try to take a look around the surrounding society. Is everybody apart from the media expressing fatigue. Have you any statistical data to back it up? Say among the Rammstein countries? I wish I was as good with words as you guys and had the same possibility to reach a broader audience, so I could be fight these constant small blows to moral that only benefits Russia. Slava Ukraini

That's amazingly kind ❤! If you want to help ukrainians, Red Cross is not the best way though, their efforts in Ukraine have been underwhelming. I would recommend the wonderful Ukrainian organizations "Razom" and "Come back Alive". I wish you and your wife a very happy and peaceful Christmas.

The Red Cross support a large well paid staff and only a small % of donations actually reach the people on need. They appear to be non existent in the Ukranian-Russian war.

I’m sorry to tell you this but the Red Cross is not really the place to give. Only a very minute percentage of the donations will really go to Ukraine. Also, the Red Cross has been pretty much absent from Ukraine when they needed it most, like after the damn was destroyed and the flooding that followed. It’s best to give to United 24 or to other Ukrainian organizations directly. Research online before giving.

You have a good heart. Bless you!

I agree with medeology. Red Cross, in fact, helped "evacuate" children from Ukraine into Belarus, and those children have not been seen again.

Which one? That applies to them both!

@@elmirathierichen7182 so Zelensky is to surrender his country to a murderous dictator committing atrocities and countless war crimes that target civilians? Is that what you are saying?

I agree Ukraine has suffered… but look at who has been instrumental in that: zelensky the frontman for the American proxy war.

she was one of my least fav guests on DW News but I now have a very diff and new found respect for her.....The much more lengthy interview with anecdotes not possible on the short DW updates allows me to see just how deeply empathetic and understanding she is...Great interview !

She is obviously fluent in Ukrainian and probably Russian as well. She definitely has ethnic roots in that part of the world.

Noting but window dressing and I say this from Odesa .. sure some Russians don’t want Putin but here in Ukraine a large number don’t want zelensky anymore either not only did he escalate this war but he’s just as corrupt as former president Petro

😂😂😂 yea , Nafo!

Feeding you with lies

If im not wrong there have been training in UK (and or other places) The first are in Romania now and Ukraine pilots are learning the final steps. If sweden just get into NATO there are fully trained Ukrainan pilots when Swede sends the Gripen fighter jets

While the f16 are absolutely necessary, we shouldn't expect wonders from them either. There is a long interview about that from ward carrol with justin bronk. It has to do with us not giving Ukraine the newest missiles along with the fighters, because we fear compromising our tech to china.

Been training longer than people think.

Ukrainian pilots have been training since early 2022 in America, UK and Italy. Operation of the F16 requires proficiency in the English language before pilots can even begin training on flight simulators. Pilots just began their first flights this past week. Hopefully by spring they'll be ready.

Why do folks keep saying Ukrainians aren’t trained to fly F-16s? Do you know that for a fact? Right now, Ukrainian pilots are training in Arizona and Southern California in F-16s. In fact, Ukrainians were training in Poland back in 2022 and supposedly they were training in the UK and Spain and Romania. Plus, knowing Ukrainians, they can fix anything, so I wouldn’t doubt they could fix a F-16 and master the American English necessary to overhaul and maintain these birds on the ground. Folks swing from intense Pollyanna-ism in this war to frightful Eeyore style pessimism for no reason. Have a little faith.

They're both first-rate! Kate's one of the best interviewers going when it comes to the Ukraine War.

😂 Agreed. saw the same. But I attributed that to the fact she's making great efforts at lying and trying to keep the story straing : The russians overthrowing Putin bacuse of Ukraine. F-16 would beagame changer ...That was golden . She doesn't even beleive in what she's saying

It’s taken time but German help is becoming truly significant in a financial context.

Heard recently that Ukraine are recruiting women, teens, retirees 😮

Also that thousands are surrendering 😢

@@lckee820 Where did you get that information? I haven’t heard that but of course I generally watch the pro-Ukrainian presenters.

Kharkov

Kharkiv, located just 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of the Russia-Ukraine border was a predominately Russian-speaking city. It is the second-largest city in Ukraine and has now become the centre of Ukrainian resistance so evidently the Russians in Ukraine have become Ukrainian too. i wonder why ?

@@Bob-nd2mr >become the centre of Ukrainian resistance .. i wonder why ? Cause it's a huge regional logistical hub? What are you mean exactly by "centre of resistance"? Oh, wait "Jade is spot on in her assessment of the Ukrainian situation", that's you also. I'm not watching it, but i doubt, she said something like "western proxy is done and western politicians are panicking"

@@Bob-nd2mr Because they haven´t. Most of the Russians left Kharkov in May 2022 with the military-retreat, causing the Ukrainians / West to claim some kind of ´monumental victory´ 🤣

Потому что территория украинская. Если вы переедете жить в Швейцарию, Швейцария не станет Россией. Все просто, границы надо соблюдать, в любой стране так.

The second time around with winter means that one may have already come up with coping methods for dealing with it or working around it. I myself found that if nothing else, knowing how one can cope, even in a degraded functional convenience level eases one's anxieties. Due to my rather peculiar multicultural background, I have multiple ways of coping with the same problem. I'm not particularly anxious and I can laugh at the different cultures' idiosyncracies. 😂

Think fire and water, we must always live at an intersection of these.

what can we do in the west to help mitigate your hardship ? for instance would good cold weather clothing and blankets especially thermal ones help?

@donaldmackerer9032 All we need is that the Russians don't attack our electricity infrastructure. However our soldiers would really appreciate good thermal underwear and cold weather clothing Thanks for caring.

What is the 'takeover' you're taking about? The takeover was when the ultranationalists infiltrated the Ukrainian government, intelligence, media, security and military. And you seem not just to misunderstand but to be totally oblivious to the corruption of the system YOU LIVE IN.

Russia believed that it could replicate what it had done in Syria in Ukraine: wrecking the country, increasing food and fuel prices worldwide, killing people and making them into migrants. Despicable.

@@hansrijke8477go read about 100 or so history books and get back to us.

You realise that it was the warmonger Victoria Nuland who really got the Ukraine war started in 2014. This was done purely in American interests to boost the profits of the weapons industry and prevent Russia from becoming as powerful as the USA. If Putin had really wanted to attack Ukraine he would have gone in much harder with many more troops than the small numbers that first went in. What was intended was just a warning to Zelensky to stop attacking Russian speaking Ukrainian citizens in the Donbas region. Talking of leaving the elderly alone, they are not, they are sending them to the front line to fight. What is worse is that the West was so intent on keeping the war going that they sent Boris Johnson to Kiev to stop Zelensky from talking peace. It is America under Biden that people should fear, not Russia. So many Americans realise this now and are ashamed of their own country. The media are hand in glove with the corrupt American Democrats and you can not trust them at all.

That's awfull. I am not surprised to hear it...but it's still very sobering to think about.

Don’t be fooled by the wartime propaganda. In all of the occupied regions there’s barely any resistance. People are pragmatic snd simply change allegiance. As a reporter you don’t just go to Kherson. You go there with a fixer who’s briefed by the government. People you can interview Are carefully selected so that the reporter only viewpoints that are in alignment with the carefully crafted narrative. You know the narrative we’ve been spoonfed for the past 2 years

Ukraine broke the Minsk peace agreement. So that was a huge mistake They could have negotiated a settlement anytime but chose to fight . Another very bad decision . They should talk now before it’s too late. The west has destroyed Ukraine they are not friends

And what about Western aggression? Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, ect..

@bazduggan4042 Whataboutism isn’t a good argument in this situation. Just because the United States done some smaller atrocities in the past doesn’t justify Russia doing atrocities in the present.

@@solarflare4259 Compared to journalistic reports, yes!

Try listening to the Duran. Much more accurate than this.

Feel free to explain: a) what happened to "20,000 kids" b) what your 'Government' should be "preparing you for" 😂

What Russia is doing in Ukraine is little different to what Germany did in the last war. It can't be allowed to succeed and the West needs to guarantee Ukraine's territorial integrity and, in doing so, to expel the Russian forces from Ukraine.

A lot of the delays with ammo etc was the need for the West to "tool up" again having shutdown production lines after the Iraq/Afghanistan war. The restriction on the HIMARS was just what the US had in its warehouses, but also the fear of escalation as well. A number of issues have been just plain logistics where some promised equipment wasn't in the US, but elsewhere. A large number of the Bradleys were in the Iraqi desert and were found to have been cannibalized for parts during that war and had to be shipped back to the US for reconditioning. A number of the air defence pieces from Europe were diverted from current production runs in German and French factories, so did not exist when promised. The Mk1 Leopard tanks had been sold to Spain and on-sold to Italy, then to a Dutch weapons dealer, so their specs were not clear and some were in a very poor state of readiness and needed to be reconditioned to be of any use.

@@trevorstewart8 I agree ammo consumption by both Russia and Ukraine reflects a legacy Soviet doctrine, organization, and schemes of maneuver. On the other hand, Ukrainians could not shift to a balanced air/artillery mix along a NATO scheme without NATO quality and adequate quantity aircraft. Therefore, ammo production by NATO had to be ramped up by December 2022. This was not done. My comment was more on the pledge vs delivery gap. Poor readiness is a real NATO issue. The peace dividend did not NO readiness. If Spain had 350 Leopard 2A6 MBTs in inventory, and less than a NATO 1 Brigade Armor Team (87) was ready, this is a problem. At least 2 Brigades need to be ready and 1 additional Brigade has to be 30-60 days ready. Who inspects NATO readiness? I agree the Leopard 1A5s were all going to be a 6 months to 1 year project. It could be up to 2 years IF sighting upgrades are factored in.
