“What we’ve seen is Ukraine scoring goals in the Black Sea, and that’s been by using a combination of new technology and new weapons.”
Western weapons, including scalp and storm shadow cruise missiles are helping Ukraine to destroy Russian ships in the Black Sea, The Sun’s defence editor Jerome Starkey tells #TimesRadio.

Ukraine can trust Europe but I am not sure about relying on AMERICA. USA signed the Budapest memorandum when Ukraine give up its nuclear weapons. But congress fail them. They should have kept it.
Shame on Republicans congressman who supported Russia. Can the be trusted!!
Excellent report. Short and to the point.
Ukraine President just today says a new counterattack is in the works… and I believe him. He needs a Big push to repel the chatter over firing his Top General. Furthermore I believe Russia is believing its own propaganda and falling into a trap. I hope to stay a minority Until it happens:)
The collective West needs to declare Putins reelection as not valid. It will drive Putin nuts and hopefully embolden the Russian population to revolt.
If Europe wants to avoid a new European war, then it must increase it's support to Ukraine as well as stop doing business with a thieving war criminal like Putin. The naive vision of a responsible Russia and China must be undone to reflect reality or the consequences will be severe. If you are a Harry Potter fan, then you will recognize that Europe is now having a Minister Fudge moment, a POV that is based on the fear of having to acknowledge and take action against an obviously evil enemy. They have the choice to do what is right or what is easy, which is a sentiment also expressed in those books.
Its a pitythat western politicians dont listen or look at these items.
us in the West are failing
So that range is where they thjnk they need to be for their missiles. Ukraine will get a few more ships
It's time for Putin to call in defeat and plead mercy to Zelensky.
Is Crimea a river?
Americans do not owe Ukraine $60B of FREE aid in 2024! 'Nuff said
Typical western countries they will not follow up on the help promise.
Dated a bit. Western countries have failed to resupply and as a result Russia is making gains
Surely those drone boats could be hidden in specially fabricated hulls of fishing boats to get into range of the Russian Fleet.
It would be a walk-over if Putin just spent his money internally, rather than in bribing the CORRUPT "republican" party which is now almost 100% the opposite of what it was just a couple of decades ago – The "REPUBLICAN PARTY" is now PRO-RUSSIA and ANTI-AMERICA!
Just taking out Tommy T – the "T" standing for Traitor – would be a good start, as the US military would be able to move on the internal promotions Tommy Traitor has been stalling ON hIS OWN, for nearly 2 years… it could be longer – he's certainly earning his roubles!
“It’s a war against us. It’s a war that requires us to mobilize our societies if we are to remain at peace.”
— Gen. Sir Richard Shirreff, Deputy Commander of NATO in Europe 2011-2014, in remarks three weeks ago
Russia and it people lose ether way, their standard of living has gone down and if India will stop buying their oil maybe the restrictions will hurt more.
India is no Allie of the west.
Not the first time an army was critically low on artillery ammo: There was the "Shell Crisis of 1915". The soldiers at the front line have always been at the mercy of political inaction back home in planning failures.
same old radio times refuse to interview a normal person who imvolved
If Ukaraine falls the World needs to take a hard look at the USA.😢
Mike Johnson GOD is watching YOU!!!!😢
Ukaraine's biggest mistake was giving up thier nukes.😢
Uk up to it tricks as knows it can't fight a war dead on with Russia
If your going to blame americans the get the right ones mainly the maga right wing blocking aid in every way Marjorie Taylor Matt gaetz Jim Jordan and their speaker of the house who refused to even bring the bill up for a vote so take your anger out on the right people these are the people who have Ukrainian blood on their hands
How many tactical nuclear weapons does Ukraine have in their inventory, none, how many tactical nuclear weapons does russia have 10,000
Yes, 2023 looked like stagnation on the battlefield but it was not really entirely stagnation as Ukrainian forces continued to destroy vast amounts of Russian military equipment that Russia had accumulated since 1950.
Although continuing this war for two more years is a horrible prospect for Ukraine it is also true that at the rate Russia is losing military equipment by summer 2025 Russian ground based military equipment will likely be reduced to whatever Russia can currently produce as all the equipment it has saved up for 74 years will have been destroyed or captured.
By continuing his pointless war of attrition Putin is effectively destroying the Russian military that took three quarters of a century for Russia to build up.
Expect long range strikes on critical fuel and transport targets deep in Russia. Drone warfare at longer and longer ranges along with unknown disasters at various production sites that may or may not be caused by Ukraine.
It's realy unbelievable, Ukrainians are spending those precious little they have on chasing upsolite sheep's that are not engaged in war while they are loosing village after village and being massacred on field… But worry not it will all be over soon
The not so freedom loving unreliable USA and quite a few European Nations dragging their feet.
😂😂😂😂😂
Here is the thing and it's true. Although some of the NATO countries have stepped up a bit but not enough. Now before I say this believe me, I support giving Ukraine what it needs because I know what will likely happen if Ukraine fails and Russia takes it. However it doesn't matter what the USA citizens want. Congress has full control over this unless threatened with being voted out in a very real way. So to start.
Every NATO country should be at least doubling or even triple their military budget at least for a year. They need to get the factories rolling out ammo in a big way and step up all military recruitment and training. Then can't keep sitting back and letting the USA foot the bill. some have stepped but has not stepped up enough. I'm not going to name who is doing what needs to be done and who does not. They know who they are. If the countries that will be effected the most by Russian invasion are not going to step up their game in a real way then why should the USA continue to support? We CAN protect our land and people from most attacks of any kind. All countries need to think this way and do what needs to be done to make it very difficult even if it never happens. Being in the military during peace time for your country and income is a great option. I;'m speaking more about making weapons even if it just basic ammo and, weapons, machinery and people to operate.
Stop kneecapping Ukraine by making them stay out of russia. If the russians get hit at home they will tuck tail and run.
Какой п о ц
???can russia win😅😅😅😅
As long as USA Keeps selling weapons to replace the ones going to Ukraine it will NEVER end!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Justice will prevail, Slava Russia.
eurosunks
world war 3 is very near now due to the US failing to support Ukraine and the Germans will soon have Russia on its boarders when they start war with poland
they always show Putin when he was younger 20 years ago he is old now but very much alive and not ill like he wants people to believe
The US is a cowardly bully, hiding its head in its pants when it meets China, Iran, North Korea and Russia.
Pretty soon, Putin will confiscate bathtubs from Russian homes to replace ships sunk by Ukraine !
В общем кабздец поклонникам Стефана Попеля ( стёпки бандеры) )))
Blame the USA holding back aide in order to blackmail biden is disgraceful, people are dying ,the yanks are very unreliable allies !
