We know Russia supported Brexit, can't think why we've not had a proper Russia investigation.
Great video. Love hearing the insights. I would like to say, I wonder about the timing over these AWACS being pleged and the first F-16s due to arrive.
Dumb continues to prove that he has no idea what the russian strategy is… But sure likes to talk.
Seems to me that we agonize altogether way too much over this permission Ukraine needs to strike targets in Russia proper. Firstly, the weapons given to Ukraine are not loaned, but given to Ukraine. Therefore, they cease to be Western weapons and become Ukrainian weapons the moment they enter Ukrainian territory. Says not me, but property law 101. So if anybody doesn't want their weapons used to strike Russian territory, they should not provide them in the first place. This is what Germany does with Taurus (at their political risk). Secondly, if one analyses various pronouncements by Anthony Blinken, it quickly becomes apparent that any US administration reticence and protests in this regard are in fact geared to not appearing to direct the conflict. Say no more, say no more, nudgenudgewinkwink…
Germany won't be doing ANYTHING. There is no political will in this excuse for a country to strenghten the armed forces with proper finances. The whole "Zeitenwende" is a nothing but a smokescreen to make it LOOk like they're doing something, when in truth, they're not. The so called government is a collection of uneducated, incompetent idiots who are more focused on "the fight against the right".
Quality reporting!
Cockney drivel from journo-Hobbits!
Putin may well OK the use of Russian weapons inside of Moldova, Kosovo or Estonia if the Biden regime U.S. makes another big mistake in their escalatory actions.
I'm astonished how in 2024 this is news. Hasn't it's been obvious for the last 2 decades that the London property market is underpinned by funny money from Russia and the gulf?
It looks as if the British political class have their snouts too deep in the feeding trough when they prattle about 'rules based order' when it come to Kremlin wealth.
No Alibaba. Very interesting.
thanks everyone.
that property report about the expensive houses. wow.
good useful important vital information.
Bless Ukraine and Bless the AFU
My heart is breaking for the peaceful people of Ukraine.
May Ukraine have all defense systems to protect itself possible
May Ukraine retake all its land

Olaf Schultz is becoming a live in a slowly slowly way.
Aliona Hlivco unfortunately is right! If the terrorist state Russia will invade a Baltic country NATO will talk and talk,without doing nothing.
Russia continues to annihilate bases in Ukraine that could be suitable for using F-16 fighter jets. On May 29, the Russian forces struck the Yavoriv training ground in Lviv Region yet again.
Kinzhal missiles hit Yavoriv firing range
According to the Ukrainian authorities, F-16 fighter jets, technical personnel and pilots arrived in Ukraine after Easter.
On Sunday, the Russian Air Force launched Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles to strike several airfields in Ukraine, including the Starokonstantinov airfield and the Yavoriv training ground. The latter sits 30 kilometres northwest of Lviv and 20 kilometres from the Polish border.
This is not the first time when the Russian forces hit the Yavoriv training ground. The first attack came in March 2022, when from 60 to 180 foreign instructors and specialists were killed. A 73-year-old man, Oleksandr Kostornyy, allegedly as a spotter, was convicted in Ukraine following the attack.
Other strikes were conducted in November 2023 and March 2024. As a result of the third strike, about 100 servicemen were killed or wounded, at least 30 of them were French, Polish, German and British mercenaries.
F-16 flight control command centre annihilated
Allegedly, several bunkers were then buried deep underground to be used as a training centre and command post for operating F-16 fighter jets.
According to Win-Win Telegram channel, the Russian missiles hit the bunkers at the time when "between 380 and 410 people" were staying inside. According to a preliminary assessment, all three underground bunker rooms were hit. The centre was used:
to coordinate overflight of F-16 fighter jets in links of 12 combat aircraft each with a landing approach in Ukraine to refuel;
to air-launch missiles at targets in Russia and return to an airfield in Poland.
"The command centre to operate F-16 fighters its guidance systems was obliterated. Many dead, all solidly from Benelux. 179 killed and 201 seriously wounded. Game over," the Telegram channel said.
Since the beginning of 2024, the Russian economy has grown rapidly, with GDP increasing by 5.4% and industrial production rising by 5.2%, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said at a meeting of the Russian government.
"At the beginning of this year the Russian economy continues to develop dynamically. According to Rosstat's preliminary estimates, the gross domestic product grew by 5.4% in the first quarter," Mishustin said.
He added that economic results for 2023 show Russia’s positive trends – its GDP increased, the budget deficit was lower than planned, and public debt remained in a range convenient for servicing.
dom u r the best
Better Londongrad than Londonistan! Does driving the Ruskies out of the west not put money back in Russia thus boosting Ivans economy and lessening the wests? Try to get America to increase oil production to force down price of oil to help cripple Russia. Russia and India are doing well now due to oil. Also tax Indian products heavily for their support of Russia.
What we need to think about is how does it profit the politicians that make up our government? If they profit they will make sure they will push things through.
And the properties bought by Zelenski with your kind donations?
Why is Biden afraid of Putin?
NATO countries that have approved strikes with their weapons on Russian territory should be aware that their equipment and specialists will be destroyed not only in Ukraine, but also at any point from where Russian territory is attacked, the Russian Security Council’s Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said on his Telegram channel, noting that the participation of NATO specialists could be seen as a casus belli.
"All their military equipment and specialists fighting against us will be destroyed both on the territory of former Ukraine and on the territory of other countries, should strikes be carried out from there against Russian territory," Medvedev warned.
He added that Moscow proceeded from the fact that all long-range weapons supplied to Ukraine were already "directly operated by servicemen from NATO countries", which is tantamount to participation in the war against Russia and a reason to start combat operations.
Therefore, said Medvedev, NATO would need to legally qualify the destruction of its equipment, facilities and servicemen in case of "possible retaliatory strikes <…> in the context of articles 4 and 5 of the Washington Treaty".
Articles 4 and 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which created the alliance, list NATO countries’ actions in case any of them is threatened, as well as the rules of the bloc’s collective defense. According to these provisions, a threat to one NATO country is perceived as an attack on all members of the alliance. At the same time, the document does not specify what exactly NATO may regard as an attack or threat, so it establishes a consultation mechanism for deciding on a response.
It has now become a HOT WAR between NATO and Russia.
The result of escalation.
What will be the outcome?
Remember Vietnam…..
Hot wars were thus the cut and thrust of the larger superpower competition. They offered opportunities to bleed the enemy, as the Soviet Union did by giving North Vietnam anti-aircraft missiles that devastated American planes and pilots.
What about all the flashy ukraine plate cars i see in centtal london everyday? When we gona investigate that corruption?
24 days oppression and terror for luck for putin and his oligarchs!, russian people mocked by sense of patriorism, safety and poverty!,,weaponizing the sense of great russia!, instead the other way around happened!,,
The trouble with interviewing Ukrainian nationals about 3rd party politics in the west is that they seem to have difficulty distinguishing between Ukraine being at war and their western allies (not) being at war.
Like with "protecting the property of oligarchs" thing, it's not that we are giving them special protection, but as part of our constitution we have certain protections in place for private property.
We're not at war with Russia or in a state of martial law, so can't so easily cast aside people's rights.

Maybe someone will leak a list of all the Russian owned empty properties in London and the uk. Squatters would lookafter these very nicely I imagine. There is a housing crisis afterall.
