Gravitas | Ukraine war: Is Zelensky facing defeat in face of Russian ground assault?

it’s so good to see you [Music] [Music] [Music] is zinski facing defeat there are ample signs and that is why I ask this question tonight is the Ukrainian president facing defeat let me tell you what’s happening on the ground the one Russian forces are advancing on several fronts the region of karv is the L latest flash point Russia began its incursion into 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 km from the Russian border you 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 kilm North of KK 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 on the Neo where two people have lost their lives 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 staff [Music] 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 ladir 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 if that mean for zalinski who is already struggling to arm his troops is zalinski 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 karv last week you see there is no guarantee that Russia will not open more fronts doeses Ukraine have what it takes to defend itself is the question there is shortage of troops and Ukraine has burned through its uh cash of 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 supplied 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 ATAC 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 zilinsky facing defeat here’s sign number three the writing is on the wall even zilinski knows it he has cancelled All Foreign trips zelinski’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 zinski 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 shanping said both the sides agreed that a political settlement to the Ukraine crisis was the quote 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 playle 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 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

  2. America won’t allow Ukraine to surrender .this is part of americas never ending wars ..putting public money into the hands of private companies

  4. Whether or not Zelensky is facing defeat, only time will tell. What Zelensky is facing, is the ghost of Henry Kissinger making his famous statement: If you are an enemy of the US it is dangerous but if you are an ally of the US it is fatal. I hope Ukraine comes out well from this conflict, but hope is only called upon when shit hits the fan and hope is rarely helpful.

  7. This rat selesky needs to be removed from power before he kill all his people and NATO to this people from neto are only using thi poor people.

  10. Ukraine facing defeat? May be. But what Russia gets out of this war? Hundreds of thousands dead, billions of dollars wasted, reputation in the world below zero. It was a colony of the west, now it is a colony of China. That's probably the only thing that has changed. Nothing to wonder, when you have an idiot in power.

  13. Watch Zenelsky run to America when the shit does hit the fan. Zenelsky will already have his escape route worked out . Zenelsky will be forever looking over his shoulder

  14. READ!

    1. We are ALL sinners – (Rom. 6:23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    *Sin separates us from the Holy God

    2. There is a punishment for our sin -(Rom. 6:23a) For the wages of sin is death;

    * Death – eternal death – HELL

    3. God loves us, He does not want us to go to Hell, He provided a way for our escape from Hell – (Rom. 5:8) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

    * Because of God's love for us, He sent his only son Jesus Christ to die in our place on the cross. Jesus Christ took all the weight of our sins so we can be saved through grace, NOT our works.

    * The blood that Jesus shed on the cross can wash away our sins and make us clean

    4. Through Jesus Christ, we can now have eternal life in HEAVEN – (Rom. 6:23b) but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    *Gift – free, but you can only have it if you receive it. If you reject it then the punishment of Hell is waiting for you

    5. How can I receive eternal life? – (Rom. 10:9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

    * You have to admit you are a sinner and you cannot save yourself from Hell nor go to Heaven through your own efforts.

     You have to believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, was buried and rose again after 3 days and that He and only He can save you from hell.

    (Roman 10:13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  

    * Whosoever means anyone including me and you! 

    Do you want to do it? Pray this prayer:

    Dear God, I admit I am a sinner and cannot save myself from hell. I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried and rose again. I believe that only  Jesus Christ can save me from Hell and He is the only way to Heaven.  I accept Jesus Christ in my heart as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for eternal life. Amen.

  17. USA; lost in Korea, lost in Vietnam, lost in Cuba, lost in Nicaragua, lost in El Salvador, lost in Afghanistan, lost in Iraq, lost in Ukraine.

  18. Zele finally got into the trenches with his people instead of bouncing around the EU and hobnobbing with the politically correct leaders pocketing money for himself and hiding the money 💰
    I hope Ukraine people arrest zelenski for his criminal incompetence. The money 💰 already provided to him by the USA alone was more than enough to send Russian Army packing. He failed, criminally so. If Ukraine won the war, which it will not, who will be running Ukraine? I'll tell you who will be, it will be the same sort of lot that funneled money 💰 to the MOST incompetent And criminal leftwing liberal progressive America hating president in USA History, That's Who!!!
    What is this war being faught for and who?
    Truly?…
    😷🚕🛣️🤔🧐😊✌️😁🌞👌👍

  29. usa and Nato are tasting their weapons in Ukrain as they take on a frendly match with Russia.Ukrain needs to understand that USA normally waged a war far away from its soil since it does not to loss its properties at home and knows that many people will die at home.USA it fight indirect war with russia at xame time with hamas using Israelities.USA CARRIED OUT genocide in iraq ,libya n afagan.and today in DRC -attempted to carry out coup

  32. Russia has a lot of artillery and troop concentration just inside Russia close to the Ukrainian border and Ukraine may get permission from the US and England to strike them with long range missiles. Ukraine may get permission because they are military targets and Russia is using artillery to strike civilian targets. If Ukraine hits those targets in Russia the Russian offensive will be out on a limb without air and artillery support.

  40. Zelensky is a clown a corrupt government made from the west…. what he can't see defeat …what wants to see more blood spilled on the homeland..o that's right he's Jewish

  41. Your wrong Zelenskee not facing defeat its Ukrainnne facing defeat. Zelenskey will go to US to his luxurious mansion n live happily ever after!!!🤣🤣🤣

  42. Ukraine fire 1 artillery round fell to 5 ruzzian soldiers whereas ruzzian fire 10 rounds and fell to 2 Ukrainian soldiers thus minus 5 simple +++ —— /////

  45. Xi and Vlad damn near hug every time they shake hands….😂😂🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
