All restrictions must be lifted by western nations for Ukraine to defend itself. Stop giving to fear.

Killing little kids in a hospital - how low can you go?

Well my US admin was waiting for a reason to let the missles loose anywhere in Russia. This has to qualify as the event those idiots have been waiting for.

Biden should lift all restrictions, immediately. Should have already in my opinion but now will do.

What these people get away with drives me nuts. Stop Russia now.

The civilised world stands firmly with Ukraine .

Estonia & Latvia have offered boots on the ground. Children suffering from cancer & having chemo treatment on the pavement among all that horror. I stand with 🇺🇦💪

Condolences and condemnations are not a replacement for the air defense.

Dont let this go unpunished, there has to be consequences..

Fear, as Putins last 'weapon' Agree 100% ( SWEDEN )

The time is now, NATO needs to stop messing around. US needs to give full support, Russia isn't playing.

Concessions are needed, but not on the Ukrainian side. Russia should withdraw all troops and return back to the internationally recognised borders, ie, the withdrawal from the Donbas and Crimea. They have no business being there, were they invited? No. They invaded. Slava Ukrani ❤❤

Too many russian bots here, can't Times Radio filter some of these comments? I understand freedom of expression, but these russians bots use our freedom for their propaganda purposes, it sickening!

Nobody listens to what Ruzzia says (they are always lying) See at Ruzzias actions not their words!

One cannot negotiate with a wolf.

Nato should now defend Ukrainian air space.

Putins Russia needs to go

Regime change for russia

where are the F--- F16s You cant fly a Fuin -Promise

These "red lines" are self-imposed.

Z-Bots & Trolls have swarmed all Times Radio news feeds. About time the comments section was switched off in future to eliminate this infection

Ukraine's partners need to revisit the no fly zone coverage over Ukraine

Do not deal with terrorists

We took Ukraines nukes and promised to protect them and yet we withhold long range weapons against legitimate military targets.

Farrage did you see the childrenhospital? What’s your opinion about this?

Time for NATO to end the war.

Слава Україні та її воінам...

Yuriy Sak is very sensible and measured. The ultimate outcome 'most' likely to provoke a nuclear reaction from Russia is Ukraine winning the war. So, to follow the logic of 'if you hit us too hard, we will retaliate with nuclear weapons' rhetoric to its logical conclusion, Ukraine must let Russia win, so as to avoid the threat of nuclear retaliation. Take all except one shackle off Ukrain's ability to strike Russia: strikes must targeted and aimed to degrade Russian military capability, not its civilian population, an edict, so far as I can tell, Ukraine has already and scrupulously followed.

Stay strong Ukraine 😢.

The only reason Ukraine is being attacked is because it is in the unfortunate position of being Russia’s neighbour.

Слава Україні! 💙💛

Thanks for the thorough coverage.

If Russia wants peace ✌️ all they have to do is leave Ukraine 🇺🇦

It needs to stop ✋️ 🫸

Why would Russia do this after basically urging a peace deal days ago?

Time for the old man Putin to retire permanently. God Bless Ukraine and its innocent people. ❤

Yuri Sak didn’t directly answer the contention that the war started because of NATO and EU expansion. Perhaps he meant to make some of the following points. I would contend the following: 1. Sovereignty and Self-Determination: Countries in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, such as Ukraine, have the right to determine their own foreign policy and alliances. Many of these countries have pursued closer ties with the EU and NATO as a means of ensuring their security and independence from Russian influence, reflecting their own sovereign choices rather than external coercion . 2. Defensive Nature of NATO: NATO is a defensive alliance, and its expansion has been framed as a response to the security concerns of its member states. The alliance has repeatedly emphasized that it poses no threat to Russia and that its purpose is to ensure the defense of its members against aggression . 3. Historical Context of Russian Aggression: Critics argue that Russia’s actions are consistent with a pattern of behavior aimed at maintaining influence over its neighbors. The annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the support for separatist movements in Eastern Ukraine predate significant moves by Ukraine towards NATO membership, suggesting that Russia’s aggression is driven by a desire to reassert control over its former territories rather than solely reacting to NATO expansion . 4. Violation of International Law: Russia’s actions in Ukraine are widely considered to be violations of international law, particularly the principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty. The UN and numerous countries have condemned the annexation of Crimea and the intervention in Eastern Ukraine as illegal and illegitimate, regardless of NATO’s presence or policies . 5. Economic and Political Factors: Some analysts point to internal Russian factors as motivators for the war. Economic issues, domestic political pressures, and a desire to distract from internal problems may also play a role in Russia’s aggressive foreign policy. Creating an external enemy can help to consolidate internal support for the regime. Just thought he might need a helping hand.

Medical sanctions now plz.

Fear is a cowards weapon.

Putin, said, ' This is a, " Special Operation ", did he not? And as far as I'm aware, Ukraine, has not declared a state of war, therefore TECHNICALLY, they are not at war, so they CAN join NATO. If Ukraine has declared war, they need to remove that status and upgrade to, ' Internal Skirmishes '.

jake sillivan needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.

I’m sorry 😞 that this happened to so many people and children and their loved ones I’m a ashamed to say I am a American citizen who doesn’t understand why the government of countries telling the people of Ukraine that they should not be allowed to defend themselves and not be allowed to destroy the Russians military and their citizens that Russia has no problem with doing I’m a very sad that you are having to suffer from this situation 😂

Budeš viset, Putine! 🇺🇦

We are at WW3. NATO is basically doing the Lend Lease Program again without calling it that. That helped but did not win the war and in the end it will require NATO troops fighting on the ground I hate to say.

Remind us again, how many casualties since 2008? Perhaps it would have been wiser to talk to your neighbour and cousins in Russia. War is madness led by madmen?

Bloody it is - About Time to Step Up

Thank you

A never ending circle......

true, its against humanity.

How many red lines has Russia crossed, meet force with force.

Yes, stay strong Ukraine 🇺🇦

WHERE ARE THE F 16 ??.

Russia pursuing the tactics of the IDF.

All these people cheering on the war should go and volunteer.

Advancing backwards is what it is 🤦👉🇺🇲👈🤦

Wasn' Russia, it was Ukraine.

There is a reason why in Finnish verb "Ryssiä" (Muscovy ) , roughly meaning "to totally fail something".

It would be nice if your audio was better, not sure if it's the room you are recording in?🤔

That’s true, there’s a Nigel Farage ge in every country

He lost the fear inflicting battle by starting this with Ukraine. He’s lost up there, somewhere between I and we.

Just when you think russia cant sink any lower ...

When they cut the lady she’s playing with her hair, a bit cute

🇺🇦❤💪👍🇬🇧👍💪❤🇺🇦

I feel a dodgy operation being used to further escalate this.

Puck Footin!

Why hasetate to attack inside Russia....... It's stupidity to think these kind of war

True Nigel farages are a dime a dozen

Ukraine partners save you and defending always as said by the west .

Ja, please!!!!!!!!

What about Palestinian people

Ofcourse you have my permission. I take the blame.

It is not naive to believe that NATO expansion precipitated this conflict. I could tell in 2008 that Putler was not happy about it. How we got into this predicament at this point is not the issue. How to resolve it while weakening or dislodging Putler is the question?

IT THAT RIGHT?

He believes every word he days he doesn't know what NATO is.

No no, this is a bad idea. If Ukraine starts using playing rough, you think Russia will care enough about nato to not just annihilate Ukraine’s army?

That ukraine minister yuri has defo got english accent in there when talks

Pathetic. Give over with bashing Nigel Farage; you simply discredit yourselves. He was pointing out that Putin would use expansion as an excuse and was proven correct; not something that you can say about anyone who has sat in Westminster for the last 14 years.

We know that Nigel Farage is Putin‘s Suka, given Putin that special lip service that he likes so well

Disband russia!

HOW long Ukraine is fed by world nations and begging to others while talking big big .

What happened on June 23rd on a beach in Sevastopol? I only remember that there were bathers and defenseless children.

nato council should be changed to any aggressor nation can NOT sit on it

You will ask 🍷drunken Boris Jonson 😂😂😂 he knows well😅😅😅

How would russia feel if Ukraine did that to russia ? Evil

Nigel Farage is a disgrace. He should not be given any airtime.

When America will react? Where is Biden? is he sleeping?

1984

Maybe it will help with recruiting... right now, Ukrainian men are refusing the draft en masse. From the fact that they even need a draft (instead of volunteers) and that they still have a massive manpower shortage even after a year of recruiting and a bit less of drafting, leads me to believe that the vast majority of draftees are just refusing. They don't want to fight for their country, and I can understand that.

Desperate attack

THE QUESTION IS, WHEN DID UKRAINE GAINED NATO MEMBERSHIP? 🤔..?? If the alliance simply pick and choose who it offers assistance to as it's doing in Ukraine, then why bother to apply for membership to join NATO? Surely, it doesn't make any sense! 🤔..??🤕🤕🤕🤕🤡🤡😳??

😓😓❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

What about hospitals in gaza? I I condemn these attacks but why it is less important when it happens in gaza?

If they think of striking belgorod again Russia is just gonna retaliate back lol

что вы несете))))))) почему ПВО находиться в городе???? Где должно юыть ПВО???

😂 whatever you say

The west hasnt seen Russia's brute force yet. 😁 Zelensky said about children on Crimea beach " Children should not be in war zone". Kiev is a war zone. His words have come back to bite him.

You ukraine people saying you will win and russia is losing from the start of war. But in reality , ukrain is destroyed.

Russia's ability to launch this strike on the children's hospital was only made possible by the cooperation of the nation that lies between Canada to the north and Mexico to the south -- cooperation in the form of a policy that deliberately limits and restricts the Ukraine's ability to defend itself AND, in so doing, renders invaluable service to the Russian Motherland AND, in complete complicity or perhaps simply ignorance, permits or enables atrocities such as this to take place. Russia most certainly owes an expression of deep gratitude and thanks to this nation, perhaps its greatest though unwitting ally! ... ("unwitting" may be too great a kindness.)

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🕊

I don't understand why the Palestinians are not on the streets protesting against Russian genocide.
