“Russia is raising up the stakes, then we see the feedback from the West. It needs to be vice versa. The moment the initiative moves towards our Western allies, then we will know that we are winning this war.”
Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik tells Times Radio that Ukraine will experience a “tipping point” once the West “makes sure that Ukraine wins and Russia loses.”

Ukraine's entitlement it's quite annoying now
GREAT like "tipping point" with my wife!
I am very pro Ukraine. But I don't like this lady. She just scolds other countries for not giving enough, or fast enough. Like they are entitled. Doesn't appreciate the huge aid given already, but scolds for not having given more!
Why is Western allies never see much deeper into this war, that Russian soldiers under Putin's command seem to enjoy of killing more Ukraine peoples. Why cant Western Allies just provide long range missiles for the Ukraine side so that they both have the fair involvement of playing the game?
Was she reading from the screen??
She is a good reader of the script
Now it's time to fire into Russia's infastructure. What are you waiting for?? Nothing to lose! Slava Ukraine and Allies!
It's almost 8 month's in. Nuclear Annihilation is the only tipping point I see.
I love this lady, her strength and zeal is amazing all Ukrainians I have met are the same. Western nations need to stop holding Ukraine back and provide the weapons with no restrictions. All places launching drone and missiles need to be bombed by Ukraine even if the location is within Russia. Time to have Russians face the same pain Ukrainians are experiencing now.
God bless you Kira. God bless president Zelenski. Your strength is an inspiration to the world.
Slava Ukraini. Heroyem Slava
Slava Ukraini! In NATO and EU we should give Ukraine EVERYTHING they need. Including membership in NATO. Stay strong! Love from norway.
It's very unfortunate that UKRAINE became SCAPEGOAT for U.S. wishes. This war appears as UKRAINE Vs RUSSIA(Front view) but the reality is TIPPING POINT was a dream of the U.S. latest leader Ship. From TOP VIEW most countries know(But never say) it's a hidden WAR led by U.S. along with a few member states of NATO against RUSSIA.
REALITY: 30 (member states) Vs 1(RUSSIA) SCAPEGOAT USED : UKRAINE.
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 BIDEN FOR HIS SUCCESS 👍
It is incredible how ignorant they are in the United States, and many countries. wars are a political issue and big business for powerful countries. it is not profitable for US interests to end the war in Ukraine
Talking great sense! The tipping point is on the west. Putin is a tyrant, and only force will make him pay attention.
What is the world doing to force Switzerland to hand over the 250_500 million dollars in illegal accounts held by sanctioned Russian oligarchs and government officials. There are accounts held in other countries including the UK that have not been seized equating to around 1 Trillion dollars. This money should be made available to Ukraine for economic and rebuilding.
THEER HAS NOT BEEN A DECLARATION OF WAR !!!!
I thought Germany had stopped paying for gas as the pipeline was sabotaged and has a 50m hole in it. That was Nordstream 1 and Nordstream 2 never opened.
It is not exactly true that Russia's economy is just fine and that western sanctions aren't working – reminder – 2023 is a little more than 2 months away. IN the meantime, keep in mind that the vast majority of nations are NOT selling things to Russia for fear of being blackballed by the Western sanctions themselves. I understand this Representative's anguish about the suffering taking place in her country but it helps nobody to misrepresent how economic sanctions are working or implying that Russia is freely buying all the weapons, etc. it needs from eager countries around the world. That is simply not the case.
I remember reading an article that stated during the second world war near the end when Russian troops came into Germany if a woman saw a Russian soldier.. they would start talking off her clothes because she knew what was going to happen..so nothing has changed in 50 years..
More countries need to speak out more loudly against Putin and help Ukraine.
She is absolutely right we the west have been turning a blind eye, to be honest at this point we need to step in and help them out and end this war quickly
This is driving me crazy watching this from Scotland. We should be giving a choice. Fight and get things back to semi normal with a FREE UKRAINE. Or sit back being listening to this beautiful woman break her heart. Watching from Scotland peace and love to all.
It hurts to watch this despair. I very much hope that Ukraine will be supported to the end.
One problem is people are selfish, there are European countries talking about buying more gas from Russia funding Putin. Its poor me poor me, they don't have anywhere near the problems of Ukrainians. Don't they see if Putin wins, he will not stop, they had better worry about that.
I couldn’t agree more. Everyone is reactionary. We need to be proactive. We can end this war quickly if we are.
Thank you for the interview. My heart breaks for the Ukrainian people. I can't imagine what they are going through. Kira is a strong lady and I can tell she's been deeply affected by this horrible war. Dear God bless her 🙏 ❤. Keep her safe. Thank you. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
im praying for you all
My heart goes out to everyone in Ukraine who is suffering. 🙁
Cry puppet more to come
Yawn no one cares. What have you done with the billions you received over the years. Secondly what about the innocent russians you been killing since 2015. I hope you suffer in winter and I hope you suffer more in this war so people can see your true colors you are losing this war but will continue to lie stop making up lies and playing victim some of us see right through your bull. This is just war would've never happened if the United nations had step in, and stop asking for weapons and ammunition go find the billions you have stolen and looted and fund the war you made for yourself
Oh so now she knows what it is like to live in the Donbass these last 8 1/2 year's.
The air defense system that Ukraine needs would be impossible to put in place. For some reason the existing Russian air defense system extends all the way back into Russia and Ukraine would have to take it out first before theirs could be put in. Maybe it's that Rush's system is protecting those drones which are destroying new equipment as soon as it hits the battlefield
I feel a bit sorry for Kira now, but she is disingenuous in fact. She is well aware of how and why Ukraine was invaded, sadly they really believed the us cavalry would come galloping to drive the bad Russians out if a war started, that hope has been quashed by reality. Ukrainians are dying, Europeans and the Americans are boasting and pushing their buttons but the Ukrainians still do not ask “How many of us have to die before the west stops playing the great game” it’s a pity, a waste, but one day they will realise the west used them for its own purposes.
Ukraine will be bankrupt in a few months and help from the west will end as Ukraine will be not longer profitable to help. This women is nothing but a parrot. Where was she when Donbass was being shelled.
Strong woman.
It's time to cut off power and gas to russian cities, so that they suffer in the cold, knock out the grid that supplies St Petersburg and Moscow
Kira Rudik seems to me to be a very wise person, I have much respect for her. She have done wonders in relations with Western nations. As for international matters I could see her as a future foreign minister (or president?) of Ukraine.
I wish we can all do everything possible to help Ukraine in all and every way possible in her struggle angainst the invaders.
Ukraine must win and be 100% liberated, for the sake of all of us, for the world. Slava Ukraini!
