I wonder if this reporter has seen anything that his handlers didn't want him to see? He sounds very tame, more a PR man for Ukraine/ NATO than an actual reporter.
the uk has relatively over spent on its military so in military matters it is more significant. However on economic matters it is less so. when it comes to rebuilding Ukraine we'll see how central the UK really is. After all the whole reason for the war is that the Ukrainian people voted for a pro EU government that renaged on its manifesto.
But I'm sure the EU will be happy that the UK spent so much defending a future EU member.
Putler will be rubbing his right hand even if UK was not collapsing. He seems to have a major brain disorder. Besides his mental mistakes on Ukraine.
Conservative leaders are catching up with the number of russian generals who've lost their job due to incompetence 🤷
B.S.
Us 🇬🇧 citizens will make sure our government keeps double downing of support for Ukraine 🇺🇦 and make sure we keep them giving Ukraine 🇺🇦 everything they need we stand firmly with Ukraine 🇺🇦 slave Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇬🇧
We were told by every politician who ever worked with him until he mayor of London that he was totally incompetent; we watched him blag, lie and denigrated with bluster and bullshit, unable to grasp the lightest complexities. Finally, when he had lied so blatantly his ministers couldn't believe or cover for him. He was ousted deemed "not fit to govern". If he is now voted back in to lead the tories then it's time for a general strike and revolution
This is rubbish. Fact is there is no such advance for several reasons, such as having been contained after failed suicidal attacks, lack of manpower and withdrawal of personnel and equipment to reinforce the Belorrusian border.
An martial law was introduced to spare civilians from the terrorist Ukranian shelling. Unlike the Russian Army, it is indiscriminate shelling. War is about to end within the following weeks with the fall of Kiev. I would better change your speech soon if I were in your shoes.
As for the political crisis, notice the timing. A hundred years ago David Lloyd George quit as his coalition goverment fell apart. What he then said to the miners' delegation is pertinent now. 'There is no more Prime Minister'. In Truss's case, it did not even exist at all.
Where is Don?
Nice work Sergio🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦
Ukraine needs the C-RAM system?
Bleed the RED Zombie Army dry… winter is coming… Jack Frost bites… reality bites
Those governments that persist to support Putin in his aggression are delusional in their perception that Russia will continue on the world stage as before the war. Putin has revealed his cards and shown the world that the Soviet Russia no longer exist in any capacity. Putin's mobilization has more to do with maintaining his grip on the Russian Federation, than fighting the war. Removing a threat of revolution by removing fighting age men and sending them to die in Ukraine.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸here supporting 🇺🇦🇬🇧 all the way ..
anyone that sides with Italian politics has a super poor memory 😂😂😂
Listening from British Columbia, Canada. Good reporting! Well done! Please keep it up.
Could we pay the Wagner Group to detonate a few Remainers in Whitehall ?
The farm equipment is not just trackable.. they are disableable.. john Deere pressed a button and made those very complex combines into spare parts. They know they went to Russia and they are large paper weights now
The last interview in this podcast suggests that a Brexit benefit accrues to the UK from still having a leadership role in Europe, even though it does not have any decision-making power where it counts. Had we not exited Europe, we would have had at least as much a leadership role, and may have been able to convince our fellow EU members to provide more help sooner to Ukraine. It sounds like the true believers of Brexit are thrashing around trying to put lipstick on the pig that is Brexit.
Give Ukraine fighters and ATAKMs and this will be over quick.
very good podcast!
Does the team have opinions on the Recent deepstatemap live Fire overlay (within the last 6 hours), showing positions of probable Russian Missile strikes within around 200M of the Romanian Border, in the south, and a large cluster of possible Ukrainian strikes in Transnistria?
I think it is wishful thinking that Putin will give up the 4 areas. In fact I surmise he will want to incorporate also Odessa……just my assessment. So this will be likely a long draw out war.
If the Russian missile was fired towards the RAF aircraft was an error on the Russian side then why do these aircraft now need fighter escorts? How do these escorts make errors by Russian pilots any less likely? Clearly the missile fired was deliberate but in this case missed, so now we need fighter protection against further attempts to shoot down our aircraft.
I wonder if anti drone drones could be quickly developed. Small cheap machines that could match and mildly exceed the speed and agility of the Iranian drones. Load them up with a small explosive warhead (grenade?)and a proximity detonator. Or, simply have them collide with the Iranian drones. Even better, have their guidance be assisted by heat-seeking combined with audio. Just a silly idea, but who knows?
This is the latest news. A chirurgical strike against the missile facility at Kharviv has blown it up. The Ukranians are losing their missile capability and their supposed offensive -in fact, random shelling on civilians – will be stopped.
It wouldn't surprise me if the UK switches sides and allies with Russia, and if they do, Germany will do the same. After that NATO will fall totally apart.
Why aren't we hearing about drone versus drone warfare?
I expect that civilians will also be evacuated alongside the military equipment and personell, so Ukraine will have to let them retreat without harassment. Human shields – typical Russian tactic !
UK had been a blind US supporter for long time, regardless of PM (Tori/Labor). It really does not matter who comes after Truss. Nobody fears UK and frankly this PM firing/hiring drama is hilarious.
war as tragic as it is, is fascinating.
it ebbs and flows.
seems russia is on the ascendancy
Sergio has a serious speech impediment and should not take part in a unscripted audio segments.
I have no sound. 😮
The amount of ads breaking up this video makes it really hard to listen to☹
I do not know what's going to happen with the support that's going to Ukraine so they can fight. but I do know that they think the British people are incompetent in choosing a leader so they will just choose one for us

World class report ..Salve Ukraine
Very interesting presentation I like your in depth reporting. I just have one observation— the destruction of an up armored hummvee is not exactly a game changer for Ukraine or Russia these are cheap obsolete vehicles the US has been trying to give away for 10 years after they invested so much in mrap mine resistant ambush protected armored trucks and light armor personnel carriers. The armored humvees were a cheap stop gap measure for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan getting shredded by ieds and rpg ambushes.
The US ships 50 or 100 to Ukraine and uses the money they cost to buy new vehicles. They are obviously more effective for Ukraine than Hillux pickups and corrollas which they would have to use otherwise.
But there's people in our own country that are suffering from this conservative government what a complete and utter disgrace
Sergio is f-in on point. Bring him back.
We are seeing the Third War between Greeks and Persians. The Greeks must win, again.

HELLELUJAH
Britain still the American puppet.
Ukraine has 21 of the 25 rare earth minerals necessary for the technological pursuit of so called progress. Need I say more?
