“They’re losing something like 1200 soldiers a day and they’re not making massive progress.”

There is “a limit” to the amount of resources and manpower Putin can continue to throw at the war in Ukraine, says Russia security expert Mark Galeotti.

  2. 40% of the total budget going to the SMO is gonna destroy the country from within, whether its the failing infrastructure or food availability or general morale. Theyve painted themselves into a corner with winter approaching and any progress will be slow. Its going to be a very miserable winter in Russia, only slightly less in Ukraine. I predict a riot or several

  3. Fyodor Dostoyevsky; 'A society should be judged not by how it treats it's outstanding citizens but by how it treats it's criminals.' My my my, Russia the depths to which you've sunk and the prospects for the foreseeable future are only grimmer with every hour the Vory run your country in the pitifully grotesque guise of a lawfully elected government under a psychopathic KGB wannabe Imperial Tzar is simple heading for total self-destruction. Just stop it and return to humanity and decency.

  4. Here's an idea to stop the war. Follow what Russia did in 1867 by selling Alaska to the USA to stop England. Ukraine could sell a stretch of land by the border with Russia to the USA or a NATO country. And let's what Russia does.

  5. I wish there was a Russian platform like YT, where people from all over the world could get information and share view. MacGregor and Mearshier are lucky to live in the US

  6. To the Russian bots… Russian rubles are practically worthless (try spending them in Europe). Just stop trying. It's pointless. The Russian economy is verging on collapse. It's just a matter of time.

  8. Trump claiming he can end the war with a single phone call is laughable as is all his claims because if so he would have done so already.
    Anyone with a brain knows Trump would hand over Ukraine to Putin and then Poland and then the rest of Europe then the US itself.

  9. I cannot understand the short-sighted view that seems to underline the "waning" of support for Ukraine. I don't believe anything good can come from allowing Putin to walk away with anything – let alone a victory. What will he do in a few years time, being emboldened by his "success". The rule of the jungle has no place in the 21st century. The free world MUST support Ukraine no matter what, or the world as we know it will crumble into darkness. SLAVA UKRAINII

  15. Russia is offering extreme wages with the full knowledge that they will likely never have to pay it out because the conscript is now in a million pieces somewhere on Ukraine's soil.

  28. The same thing TR is saying over and over but using different words😂. And yet Ukraine is losing the war!!

  36. Mark comes back yet again with more absolute garbage and to collect Rupert's thirty pieces of silver. This man will say anything for a buck.

  38. Long range has been given, from Germany,and the America's, just one is in question ❓ that said Ukraine is very creative, but in perspective The West,and the European Union needs to step up military pressure on the Russian federation.
