Day 258. Today, we discuss the brutal fighting in the centre of Ukraine; analyse the emergence from the shadows of Yevgeny Prigozhin and his mercenary army, the Wagner group; and Dom Nicholls takes us through the principles of a good defence as the Russian army digs-in, in the South.

Incredible, as always. Thanks for keeping this going.
Sorry but listening to James is so irritating, between his hhhmmmm's and lip smacking ìs beyond annoying, maybe he should stick to writing rather than talking ? Just a thought, apart from that 'great podcast '
USA GO AWAY FROM HAITI
every war of the last 50 years has been actively fomented by the lie’s of the corporate owned M$M
☠️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇬🇧☠️
These guys werent paying attention to what happened in the US election…
I think Ukraine regaining Kherson and the Dnipra River is a good start point for negotiations. I honestly believe that's why Russia may be pulling out
It's 'isolationist', not 'isolationalist'.
One of the best defensive actions followed by a massive counterattack drive to the west was by the Russians at Kursk. Urban grinding defense was Stalingrad.
personally im very very skeptical of any statement made by the wagner group.
Enjoy your podcast. It seems to me that Russia 's continuing to shell Ukraine and the drone attacks, are another is a series of war crimes. This one actually goes a long way to prove that the overall goal of the war was purposeful genocide.
I guess PUTIN's hate for the people of Ukraine goes far deeper than simple greed and being historically noted as "Vlad the Conqueror"
He's come face to face with his mortality. He's trying to leave a permanent mark in Russian history. Unfortunately, that mark turns out to be the opposite of his desired outcome. He'll be remembered as a mass murderer. He'll be remembered for sending Russian conscripts into Ukraine, completely untrained, unequipped, cold, hungry and thirsty for clean water; to die in the mud in Ukraine. The slaughterer of a generation of Russian men.
Interesting that!
From about minute 34, when Dom starts taking about the Dragons Teeth. From what I can see, the birm of the tank ditch is between the Russian trenches and the Dragons Teeth! So the Dragons Teeth can't be seen from the trenches! 😒
"Russian Theftderation"
Would UK negotiate with Hitler for Hitler to keep some of UK territory to end the war? Ask yourselves )))
Ukraine : The Mouse that roared! How about those Shenanigans PUTIN?
Mr dddavid,,I m sick of propaganda,,get lost with your ,,story in which poor people die and the others are coming instead of them ,to rrrule ,,get lost,mind your country
Zelensky is a clown
I agree with the writer "Dom's sense of humor is hilarious" I find it, Mr. Nicholls, subtle, dry, dark, 'bendy'. In a way, classic Bond, Dom.
The war would never happen under Trump.
Defensive battle – Stalingrad
Podcast is great.
MADROD. THINK I was sleeping at the back of the class when we got this
Don't follow the narrative of our Western Mainstream Media, its all a lie.
I think the expectation with Wagner prisoner recruits is that they will not survive anyway to be pardoned and are probably sent directly to the front line
Ukraine is filled with neo-nazism
It's time to hit Russian infrastructure.
BTW, the mobilisation is for reservist, not for all men.
Wouldn't the Ukrainians be a little suspicious that all of the "Civillians" they were coming across were all military age males……. probably that 99% of also only speak Russian.
long live Russia, meddling, what nonsense
Trump is in Putin’s pocket, and has been lying about his Russian dealings since the 80s. Trump and his Republicans actually made campaign promises to the Russians, and have been rewarded with dirty interference on their behalf. Of course, Trump didn’t follow through on the promises that got me to vote for him, so hopefully he will screw them too.
If Trump gets in power again, he will be using Putin’s regime as a template for making sure he consolidates his power just like Putin did.
These were the ones who were executed probably
