  3. Бережи Боже ЗСУ та Україну . Нові дворяни фсб – еліта України та колишнього СРСР в співпраці з цивілізованими елітами, заробляють 💰 на війні та крові і маніпулюють народом

  4. So the US is supposed to pay for Ukraine to get an 'Iron Dome' when we don't even have one? LOL! The guests on this show are ridiculous.

  13. Media should quit warmongering and push for a peace settlement before thousands more are killed in this senseless war.

  14. so, The Economist, and the Financial Times have inside information on the Russia/Ukraine negotiations and the return to 1991 borders ? 🤣

  16. I'm Dom Nicholls and I want to recommend a wonderful cat litter box without which I wouldn't be able to live for I love my cat with all my life but I hate to see it littering all over the house, try our mobile phone plan today, I'll take a pause there.

  20. Ukraine backed by 30 NATO countries cant beat Russia for more than 2 years now. Why was Putin so scared of NATO I will never know

  23. Intelligence services of some NATO countries and Ukraine are set to stage chemical weapons use by the Syrian army and the Russian military contingent in Syria to discredit Damascus and Moscow in the UN, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said in a statement obtained by TASS on Tuesday.

    According to information that the SVR receives, "the leadership of the United States and Britain, being aware of their failed course towards inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia in the Ukraine conflict," pays special attention to undermining Russia’s prestige in Global South states.

    "They resort to any dirty tricks and ever more frequently to outright terror against our country’s friends in the Middle East and Africa. These measures include accusations that the Anglo-Saxons have repeatedly used at the UN venue that Syria allegedly employs with Russia’s tacit consent chemical weapons against the population of the districts held by the so-called armed opposition," the SVR stressed.

    "According to the SVR information, precisely this provocation is being prepared by intelligence services of some NATO countries and Ukraine jointly with terrorist groups active in the Idlib province in northern Syria. The plan is to stage the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian army and the Russian military contingent in the Syrian Arab Republic and then launch a campaign to discredit Damascus and Moscow in the UN and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons," the SVR press office stressed.

    This plan envisages involving the White Helmets non-governmental organization "notorious for its dirty work for British intelligence services on Syrian soil," the press office added.

    "Its activists will make video records of so-called consequences of the incident and send a corresponding message to international organizations and also alleged evidence by civilians and blame Syria and Russia for that," it said.

    According to the SVR data, "under the plan of the operation, militants will drop a mined chlorine canister from a UAV at the time of strikes by the Syrian army and Russia’s Aerospace Forces against the positions of terrorist groups in the Idlib de-escalation zone. Areas east of the city of Idlib are considered as the most probable place to stage the provocation," the SVR press office said.

    However, "staged chemical attacks in Syria will hardly help the American hegemon and its allies pull to their side Global South countries, most of which still do not want to assume anti-Russian positions in the Ukraine conflict," it said.

    "Meanwhile, these provocations will undoubtedly intensify their distrust for the United States and Great Britain," the SVR press office stressed.

  25. The global oil market responded rather sharply to escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak said.

    "As we see, the market has responded rather sharply during the last two days – the oil price gained several percent. I think in general this is not the fluctuation that could have been. This is because the conflict in the Middle East is already partly recognized in the price overall," Novak said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV channel.

    Geopolitical factors in any case influence prices, the deputy prime minister said. "The market responses, in the first instance, to the fact that the market supply may go down as a result of the conflict or hostilities, because this region is actually among the ones producing the significant quantity of oil," Novak noted.

  26. Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, before he was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, agreed to a ceasefire with Israel, Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib said on CNN.

    "He agreed. Yes, the Lebanese side agreed. We consulted with Hezbollah, [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri consulted with Hezbollah, and we informed US and French representatives [about the decision]," Bou Habib said.

  37. It’s not claimed u dumb it’s a reality that clown 🤡 zelensky’s men’s from 77th brigade who are responsible for take care Vuledar is crushed by Russian … large no of Ukrainian either lost there life or surrendered…

  42. What a dumb podcast. Knows nothing strategic when it comes to Iranian capability. As if Israel using nukes won’t be the end of Israel and western global economy.

  43. The rest of the Donbass region seems will sooner be part of Russia again earlier than expected as cities are falling like hot cakes including Ugledar and now heading to Pokrovsk and those ukraine troops in Vuhledar are a few who managed to survive and run away before they were encircled by Russian troops.

  49. Spectator talking crap when we knew Russia was alway winning. Its amazing they blew Ukraine's trumpet even when there was nothing to blow on.
