so good to see [Music] [Music] [Music] is zinski facing defeat there are ample signs and that is why I asked this question tonight is the Ukrainian president facing defeat let me tell you what’s happening on the ground one Russian forces are advancing on several fronts the region of KV is the latest flasho Russia began its incursion into to carave on Friday and between then and now Russia claims to have captured at least 12 settlements that’s 12 in 6 days Russia in fact is carrying out what’s being called one of the most significant ground attacks since the beginning of the war fighting is Raging in a town called W Chans this is where it is on the map some 5 kilm from the Russian border Ukraine says Russian infantry groups have already entered the town of w Chans Moscow claims its troops have also recently taken control of two more villages in karv Russian troops have also taken at least one settlement in southern zapia it’s called robotin it happens to be one of the settlements that Kiev retook in its counter offensive last year so what’s next Russia State News Agency ra says that Russian forces are preparing to take a village called lip sea that’s about 30 km north of karv one Russian official said Russian troops are already on the outskirts of lip sea on top of that Russian troops are also bombing towns and Villages there have been Russian air strikes on Ukraine’s molev and Kon thir in fact 17 people 17 people have been injured there has been an air attack on the Neo where two people have lost their lives like like I said Russian troops are advancing on multiple fronts our troops are constantly every day improving their positions in all directions I repeat they’re carrying out all the tasks set by the ministry of defense and the general [Music] staff now the bad news for Ukraine is Russia is not done experts say Russians will up the ante over the next 3 months and guess what they are not wrong have a look at what the Russian president Wladimir Putin is saying in that public meeting with Russia’s new defense minister Andre bosov Putin said that Victory could be hasted by the use of more powerful and advanced weapons now what does that mean for zalinski who is already struggling to arm his troops is zinski facing defeat and here’s sign number two by the way Ukrainian troops have been forced to withdraw from several villages in kave they have pulled back after coming under heavy fire a spokesperson for the Ukrainian military said the troops had to be pulled back from the settlements of lansi and W Chans in order to quote unquote preserve the lives of our servicemen and avoid losses Ukraine has also had to evacuate some 8,000 people from KV last week you see there is no guarantee that Russia will not open more fronts does Ukraine have what it takes to defend itself is the question there is shortage of troops and Ukraine has burned through its uh cash off weapons troops morale is down the counter attacks are failing Ukraine has not been able to inflict much damage Russia claims its military shutdown 10 us supp lied long range missiles known as at atacms over Crimea atacms is short for Army tactical missile systems earlier this week the US had said that American at CMS were reaching Ukraine this week Moscow also said that five Ukrainian attack drones were destroyed over the ksk and Brians regions in Russia how do you read this if not as Ukraine’s failure to defend its settlement and inflict damage on Russia which brings us back to the question is zensi facing defeat here’s sign number three the writing is on the wall even zilinsky knows it he has cancelled All Foreign trips zelinsky’s press secretary Sergey nikov said that the president had quote instructed that all international events scheduled for the coming days be postponed and new dates coordinated the President says quoting further all attention now is focused on the current defense operations number four while zinsky is being forced to stay home Putin is on his second visit to China in just over 6 months and from China Putin is once again sending signs that he has never shied away from negotiations that he is ready to talk in a joint press conference shiin ping said both the sides agreed that a political settlement to the Ukraine crisis was the quotee unquote right direction listen to this we both agreed that a political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis is the right direction and what’s more Putin said he was grateful to China for trying to solve the crisis let’s play out that bite as well I will of course inform Mr President of China on the situation around the Ukrainian crisis we are grateful to the Chinese friends and colleagues for the initiatives they put forward to solve this problem now remember China has proposed a 12o peace plan for Ukraine and the plan does not talk and I repeat does not talk about about troop withdrawal will zinsky be forced to settle for status quo in order to avoid an allout defeat does he have any other option in the face of Russia’s fresh offense to stay up to speed with the latest news download the weon app And subscribe to our YouTube channel

  1. When all the fighting age Ukrainians flee to the west why should we care if they don't. Putin needs to put the nail in the coffin

  2. Presenter audio mic set too low.
    Under the constitution of the Rep of Ukraine, Zelenskyy has run out of any more loopholes to remain in any position of authority or relevance in negotiations.
    He is despised by civilians he has always ignored, the AFU field officers have prioritized getting out of harm's way and Russia will just use mechanized means and air power to avoid further skirmish slaughter.
    For Zelenskyy, his closest staff and disgusting militias he has used throughout against Ukrainians it is less a matter of defeat as individual survival — hence militias shrinking to a few psychotic war addicts, donated weapons being abandoned, acts of sabotage in some oblasts to harry the delivery of US weapons and ordinary people in west and south Ukraine preparing for defying Kiev in the open. They do not want more weapons or any more US/NATO domination and in some east and southern oblasts Russians are seen as liberators — mainly because medical and supply aid corps assisted civilians when Kiev NEVER had any plans in place — notably in winter of last year.
    Blinken's visit a couple of days ago was most likely to tell Zelenskyy and his top people that former plans for rescue using rotorcraft (such as VIPs being rescued at Avdiivka) can no longer be guaranteed because USN chiefs in the Gaza crisis want to move warships to the west Mediterranean Sea to allow fleet auxiliary ships get on with temporary corridors and relief. The large rotorcraft such as were used in Avdiivka are kept mainly on medium aircraft carriers.
    Escape through Poland would be difficult as the people are opposing their government, Romania will not send aircraft over the Ukrainian border and Moldova has few appropriate aircraft.
    Russia and Belarus would prefer Ukraine to deal with its own treacherous leadership as it is likely to be quicker than haggling over 'war crimes'.

  15. What is next is big country dirty games goes on because they don't like smaller country development so sad what is stupid people in this world 🌎

  22. Zelensky is the whole reason for this war. He went by what usa guided him. He should have realised its not acting and you are facing bigger enemy who has good experience in war And defence. Zelensky really destroyed the country due to his foolish ego. Poor civilians are the once suffering when he is safe inside his home.

  27. I have never heard you ask, why does NATO exist. What is the main objective of NATO. That on its own will give you the appropriate answer of why Russia is in Ukraine. But from your narrative The US and the so called Western world have the right te o destroy any country, because they alone are always correct and never breaking any laws.

  31. Sold out by the West!Money rules the west…its over! Ruled by morons….never listen to morons…..these delays are all part of the ploy,now your country and people are in shambles!So sad…Z!

  41. no need asking if ukraine is lossing zelensky cannot win this war. two years ago zellensky is loosing important cities and villages and then how. can zelensky won

  42. Like Putin said, The CIA is responsible for this war! And Zelensky was a plant!
    Watch Zelensky get taken out, And it will be blamed on Putin!
