Senior Advisor to the Center for Eurasian, Russian and Eastern European Studies at Georgetown University, Angela Stent, joins News NOW to explain what the loss could mean Ukraine and whether a diplomatic end to the conflict is possible.

#Ukraine #Russia #Donbas
source
Western nation invades innocent middle eastern nation "Yeah take that terrorist!"
Russia invades a country trying to join a alliance which was specifically made to counter and destroy them "nooooo you can't do thatttt" T_T
The Ukraine military will retreat to some other City to use the civilian population as human shields.
Western propaganda BLOWS!
The USA, the UK, and some blind NATO countries, as usual, are indirectly provoking a catastrophic WAR in the EU just for their own gain and benefit.
It will cause more catastrophe and damage in Ukraine, Russia, and the EU, not the USA and the UK.
In fact, Promoting more weapons and fighting will not lead to real peace or an effective solution.
The EU countries should show the olive leaves instead of pouring oil on the fire. It is necessary & must.
We all have to be ashamed of the civilized world and of humanity.
*winning
I thought Ukraine was winning the war??? HA
Its now time to stand up to the Russians militarily. Sanctions, meetings and proxy actions aren't working
😂😂 keep going strong Russia
Nonsense reporting, and commentary/opinion.
Seriously if tht old woman is some sort of expert then is all lost ☠️
Don't worry though guys "Ukraine is still winning" because shhh need to keep the BS narrotive alive! full retreat by Ukrainian forces all across the front lines, they've gone through thousands of weapons and supplies already and want more! yet we're told Ukraine is winning and Russia is evil and booo they're losing so much.
Its funny to see western media collapsing on itself after forcing out BS propaganda and now having to do a 360 as they cant keep up the narrotive, soon the west will completely turn their back on Ukraine and they already are by denying supplies due to fear of "falling into Russian hands" yet we're told Ukraine is winning still…but the US is worried about weapons and UAVs falling into Russian hands?
Truth always comes out eventually and when it does and people realise this war started due to neo nazis in Ukraine killing and shelling Russian speaking regions and Ukraine aren't the "good guys" anymore even though before the war all the western media said about Ukraine was national socialists and horrible people…….you'll will look so stupid and like brainwashed sheep who supported Ukraine simply because the west said so and wanted to start world war 3 for these people.
Yet again proving why governments get away with anything = too many stupid brainwashed people who believe anything you tell them.
Maybe the retreating Ukrainians can go to the Mall..
One story out of corrupt Ukraine claims losing on the battlefield.
The next claims Ukrainians happily shopping on a MALL..
Lol you’re telling me they are sending them billions just to lose ?
If Europe does not give arms to Ukraine, there will be large crowds of refugees in Germany and France. And not only from Ukraine, but also from Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic.
Stop lying!
+ Russia
– Ukraine
– US
Nato…is all BS, UKRAINE can't win that war and the World knows it, just stop giving millions, while the hunger kills more people then any fuc…war 😡
"Ordered to retreat" or they fled because they faced certain death and capture by Russian liberating forces..Liberal western media always finds words for defeated soldiers,not to look humiliated.
Ya, whatever will be left of Ukraine will eventually join the EU. All 3 villages in the west. As a part of Poland, as they once were.
Zelensky must also make bombing the russian cities it is noble action he can do
Withdrawal/Fall back/Retreat 🤷♂️…. to relocate to better defensive positions i would think… Hope Ukraine know how important Odessa is.. I don't think Russia will rush the Capital anytime soon 🤔
The media is enjoying the death and destruction that's happening ,sad.
So you guys all said that Ukraine can join EU now that they made it but it's going to take 3 years before they can officially join by then there will not be Ukraine left because Russia will demolish it from Ukraine breaking the treaty that they had between each other
And it's just amazing how the Biden administration has all this money to give away to a foreign country but says there's no money to give to the people who are barely surviving here in the United States gas prices are almost doubled food prices are almost 40% higher everything is too expensive now and a dollar value is going down because they thought the vitaministration and all these NATO members thought the sanctions on Russia is going to make it worse it actually made the people and the government of Russia self-sufficient and is able to make the ruble grow now so now the ruble starting to grow more and more each day before you know it's going to cost more than a dollar because Russia President Putin was smart to say that if you want to buy oil you have to pay in rubles
Because of the vitaministration and the NATO they thought of all these sanctions on Russia with do something bad to Russia but now Russia is only allowing your rubles so if anyone wants to buy anything from Russia they have to pay in rubles the ruble was 101 rubles equals $1 now today it's 50 rubles equals $1 see how fast the ruble is growing before you know it the dollar is going to be worth nothing but the prices here in the US are unbelievable gas prices are so high because biden's them he should have just had the pipelines be finished open the pipelines and still have oil until 20:30 like he wanted to have everything electric but until then you still should have had oil those little 9 years till 20:30 having oil and have cheaper gas wouldn't have been the problem it wouldn't have changed anything much at all our president of the United States is a joke and because he's in NATO is making them stupid
Plus by the end administration is given millions and billions of dollars and weapons to Ukraine to a foreign country but they can't help the regular American person that lives here and works and tries to survive with our gas prices twice as much as they were last year when Trump was President everything was perfectly fine some had a relation with Russia which would have probably not even started the war of Ukraine because Trump understood that if he tried to invite Ukraine into the NATO that Russia knows he knew that Russia had to treat you with Ukraine that as long as your crane doesn't join NATO Russia will leave him alone but now pretty much if world war 3 starts it's all of the bindings administration's fault in needles because they're the ones that are pushing your grain and giving them everything they want and leaving their own countries without anything so four will be started Russia so sufficient now they can easily probably even when this need a war if it started between Russia and NATO because the people of our countries especially the US where are dumb old timers bumbling Joe mumbling Joe doesn't even know what he's doing
Must send more weapons now.
First of all study english.
Ukraine is a waste of resources to help, they are fighting a losing war.
They were NEVER going to win this war, not in a million years. Maybe if NATO was on its side but yet there would be mutually assured destruction.
All Biden's fault. He started all this
I love it! The entirety of western, atheist shariah systems & govts are completely toothless against actual global powers & only succeed in oppressing their own people instead.
It's time to rise up & overthrow these oppressors & throw atheism (as well as islam) in the dustbin of history with all the other bad ideas!
I love it when Nazis get their stool pushed in.
The entirety of the west has shown the entire world that they do in fact still support Naziism with their allegiance to the neo Nazi puppet govt they helped establish.
The leftist emperors are naked people. It's well past time to tear them down.
There are two problems. Ukraine can decide where and when the fight is but every mile they retreat 100s of people will die trying to recapture it. Also they don’t have the numbers to push Russia back. You have to remember how MASSIVE this front is. Ukraine is a huge country.
The media is funny. Always trying to turn a bad situation into a good one. Yelling RETREAT after it already happens? hahaha ok. Try to sound like you are in control.
Burisma admits to bribing Joe Biden
with a lump sum payment of around
$900.000 USD in a Ukrainian
criminal court today.
Good.
Grats to Russian. Take that crossdressing Bich out of office
Remember when the war 1st happened the media had everyone thinking Ukraine was winning the war. Ukraine never stood a chance not in the beginning not ever. They will lose, any other discussion is fairy tales and hogwash.
It's time to end liberal hegemony around the world
irag,Afghanistan, Syria,Libya
and 50 coup d état around the world not working
✌️ ☮️ 🕊
Russia Federation has no interest in peace talk, it is advancing n gaining over Donbas and Luhansk, not suffered heavy casualty. All these promised helps but actual delivery of weapons by US n UK alone can't do much to push back Russian troop. Much more urgent reinforcement is needed from more countries in this second phase of Ukraine war. 🤨
Two marching band was your two feet to March in four legs
George Bush will just be mapapatapat because Bill Clinton took credit of my work
Tyranny or democracy? I prefer the latter…Slava Ukraini
Elvira Nabiullina = gov. of central bank; ‘war is flushing the economy down the toilet’
Boris Bondarev's Full Resignation Letter:
"My name is Boris Bondarev, in the MFA of Russia since 2002, since 2019 until now – Counsellor of the Russian Mission to the UN Office at Geneva.
For twenty years of my diplomatic career I have seen different turns of our foreign policy, but never have I been so ashamed of my country as on February 24 of this year.
The aggressive war unleashed by Putin against Ukraine, and in fact against the entire Western world, is not only a crime against the Ukrainian people, but also, perhaps, the most serious crime against the people of Russia, with a bold letter Z crossing out all hopes and prospects for a prosperous free society in our country.
Those who conceived this war want only one thing – to remain in power forever, live in pompous tasteless palaces, sail on yachts comparable in tonnage and cost to the entire Russian Navy, enjoying unlimited power and complete impunity. To achieve that they are willing to sacrifice as many lives as it takes.
Thousands of Russians and Ukrainians have already died just for this. I regret to admit that over all these twenty years the level of lies and unprofessionalism in the work of the Foreign Ministry has been increasing all the time. However, in most recent years, this has become simply catastrophic. Instead of unbiased information, impartial analysis and sober forecasting, there are propaganda cliches in the spirit of Soviet newspapers of the 1930s.
A system has been built that deceives itself. Minister Lavrov is a good illustration of the degradation of this system. In 18 years, he went from a professional and educated intellectual, whom many colleagues held in such high esteem, to a person who constantly broadcasts conflicting statements and threatens the world (that is, Russia too) with nuclear weapons! Today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not about diplomacy. It is all about warmongering, lies and hatred.
It serves interests of few, the very few people thus contributing to further isolation and degradation of my country. Russia no longer has allies, and there is no one to blame but its reckless and ill-conceived policy. I studied to be a diplomat and have been a diplomat for twenty years. The Ministry has become my home and family. But I simply cannot any longer share in this bloody, witness and absolutely needless ignominy."
putin in a serial killer,liar and a coward, as a world we should have dealt with him a long time ago. His days are numbered.
