As Putin Takes More Ukraine Land, West Gets Rude Wake-Up Call On Monetary Cost Of Russia Winning War

A former British minister has sounded the alarm for Western powers, as Russia makes fresh territorial gains in Ukraine. James Heappey, former Armed Forces Minister, claimed to predict the monetary cost of the situation developing in the aftermath of Ukraine’s potential defeat in the war. Heappey added that the latest raft of military packages announced by Western leaders, including USA’s Joe Biden and UK’s Rishi Sunak, won’t tip the scales in Kyiv’s favour.

  1. So, Russia captured another village. At what cost? Another 1000 russians entering the “Immortal Regiment” every day. (BTW, why has Putin cancelled the “Immortal Regiment March” on 9th of May? Too afraid that relatives of present day KIA’s might be displaying their portraits?)
    Are those victories? Pyrrhic victories at best. As everybody knows that Russia only marginally gains ground against a dapper, courageous adversary, barely ONE FIFTH the size. Which is fighting with one hand tied on the back because of lack of material and supplies.
    Which means, the performance of the Russian military is, satisfyingly and luckily, a deeply humiliating and demoralizing failure.

  2. It's not "the west" that is coming off second best. It's the European nations (NOT the USA) who have had THEIR economies damaged and who must get THEIR oil, natural gas etc from other than Russian suppliers. US export of natural gas is booming, particularly due to inflated prices to Europeans who no longer have a Nord Stream 1 or 2 to turn to. Military equipment purchases and contracts totally billions are being made between EU nations and the US "military industrial complex". The money that the US is supposed spending on Ukraine or "aid" as it is called, includes long term loans and other financial trickery that is in reality filling the coffers of US industries. So no, it's not the west who is coming off second best. It's Europe. The US is having a win/win out of this….. The EU as an economic competitor of the USA is going backwards. Russia as an economic competitor is being squeezed. And corporate USA smiles behind closed doors.

  3. its wrong
    RUSSIA dont takes land

    people trying to vote for autonomy since 2014
    Kiev didnt let them do, so Russia helping them

    UN shouldnt listen USA but follow international law and force Ukraine for votings

  4. Zelenski deceived ukrainiana by promising there wont be any war .peipke of ukraine believed him and being a comedian thought he would be a peace keeper but instead warmonger.Zelenski puppet of EU&USA.Horrible..

  5. As a lot of people have said, the West is like a gambling addict, can't stop throwing more and more money at something hoping for a happy ending. It ain't gonna happen.

  6. the west so insecure and deranged, thinking that fueling war would have bigger benefits that just be normal and invite Putin for talks what NATO should have been doing since 2008 already.

  7. Most of the clowns around that table won't even be in power when Ukraine falls and is annexed by Russia.
    Elections loom over all the leaders .
    Russia will have the eternal.laugh 😅😅

  8. the yanks had control of more than half of ukraine now there stupidity and greed they will lose it all viva russia

  9. Putin is making Biden loose credibility, especially the fact that he is running for another term as President of the USA. Since day 1 Ukraine was a lost cause and should have surrendered but Zelensky think he is a warlord and can fight when he is just a pathetic comedian. How do you call those who backed a fool?.

  10. Russia is given to them a last chance
    if Russia want they can finish this war
    any moment and take the hole country
    Listen what they propouse zelensky and western countries don't care about
    ukraine & its people….

  11. The West only seems to care about money, Ukraine lost this war the minute they thought they could take on Russia, and the West also thought money could win it.
    Around 600,000 lives for what?

  12. Who's paid for that money?Zelensky?US and NATO is force to go War with Russia why?billions or trillions aid to Ukraine is blown away…..

  13. Did they not arm Ukraine since 2014 someone needs to tell the truth about what has happened because it seems that some crooked dealings have destroyed Ukraine and escalation is going to be 10 times worse…

  14. No cold war. NATO will be dissolved with a new defense pact including Russia and telling yanks to piss off.
    Bad luck BlackRock, bad investment.

  15. Russian military technology is high advance in the world. Russia aviation use using highly skilled professionals pilots. Full stop Russia is military is Winning the military operations in Ukraine. Nato need to seek diplomatic solution.

  16. "As Putin Takes More Ukraine Land" headline of sorts indicates that Hindustan Times is as much of the kyiv regime's neo-fascist propaganda outlet as any other "mainstream" disinformation channel. The content of the video is primarily factual, though.

  17. NATO corrupt warhoes inflicted hardship on their constituency. It cost USA nothing because it just prints USD & push onto its mongrels eager to please their master.

  18. The Brits and Americans are living in la-la land. Any talk of even slowing down Russian advances has no basis in reality. A lot of his talk is pure nonsense. How does Ukraine get more artillery when the West has no more guns or shells to give — at any price.

  19. This is a war over resources and cheap energy to ensure Western hegemony at all costs. NATO heads have testified to this publicly. So yes they will lose trillions, in assets & commodities.

  20. Western leaders are really so stupid. One wonders how they all went to good schools to be in such folly. I have never gone so far in schooling and yet my judgement is right that financing terror in the name of funding Ukr is just the silliest ploy for enriching themselves. The UK man should have spoken long ago. His silence erstwhile indicates that he also placed his bet on the West defeating Russia; but as their predictions wane, he now warns of the wastages. The era of foolishness is long gone. The world is no longer sleeping. I’m sorry, he said nothing

  21. Aky ste hlupy zapad Rusko uz zabera svoje peniaze ktore ste ukradli vy prydete o vsetko preto ziadne primerie nebude tak hovoryl cinsky prezident dodal ze jeto vyborny tah od Russov Uk bude Rusko a vy bydete podstalim dohladom tak bude rozdeleny svet😂😂😂
