“This war is not in stalemate” - Drones sink Russia Black Sea patrol ship | Ukraine: the latest 

As an Aussie Boomer, I love Latika's interview and am also disgusted with Australia's Government attitude to Ukraine. We are becoming an increasingly populist country with a very superficial approach to world politics. I have contacted several MP's to no avail. If I talk about Palestine they all jump onboard.

Brilliant coverage as always. As an Australian I’m deeply concerned and disappointed by our limp support for Ukraine since the Albanese Labour Government came into office. 🇺🇦🇦🇺

More great coverage, thanks guys. As an Australian I am extremely disappointed with our mediocre support for Ukraine. Australia's Defence strategy and procurement policies and activities over the years have been at best dysfunctional and have been a mixture of "toys for the boys" from overseas junkets" , dismantling of local Defence manufacturing and Defence dept expertise, over reliance on consultants and confusion over strategic vision.

As a Tasmanian living in the South, I might be far from the action, but I've been following this podcast religiously since its early days as the ongoing crisis in Ukraine is something I believe affects us all, regardless of where we are. It's disheartening to see the lack of action from our government towards supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression. In times like these, strength and unity are crucial, and I stand in solidarity with Ukraine as should all Australians. Huge thanks to the Telegraph team for your insightful coverage. Slava Ukraini!

Thanks Dom great job. I'm from Australia, i think we have completely dropped the ball and gone missing. Since the fa18"s, the choppers and coal. I am completely flabbergasted we have gone missing

Australian here. I believe I have been listening essentially every day to this podcast since week 2 of the pod. Was very happy with our initial efforts but our military and political leadership has been completely lacking in imagination and credibility. I am a labor voter generally but may cross over if libs are sane on other policies and are clear they will do more for Ukraine. We can do more in the private sector and it would be good if the government was supporting trade with Ukraine, the Baltics and Poland in a major trade engagement effort that is both good business and helps deliver new tech and products that we have into Ukraine and its immediate allies.

It is the other side of the world for Australia, but we love freedom.

I am a solid supporter of Ukraine and as an Australian, I wish we were doing more, i was outraged about the Tiapan helicopters not being offered to Ukraine, but the less said about Tony Abbott the better, he does not speak for us and I loathe hearing any suggestion of Abbott as a representative of Australia and lets not even mention the previous prime minister, a leader he was not. I am truely disappointed about the lack of strong leadership to stand up against the likes of Putin and not only provide leadership on the world stage but in providing leadership domestically of their people to unite them in the need to take a stand.

Imagine your navy getting abolished by a country with no navy 😂😂 it’s embarrassing and unheard of 😂😂

As an avid daily Aussie listener this was a great suprise!

I'm Australian and ashamed of my country not helping Ukraine 🇺🇦 enough but witch we can our PM is big on talking but short of actions.

Stalemate was never the right word, frankly. What Zhalusny should have said was "positional" and that mistake has been taken advantage of by the wrong side ever since.

As an Australian I am ashamed of Australia’s drop off in support. If there are some safety issues, let Ukraine know and correct them.

Russia's fleet of unmoving submarines keeps growing!

Great stuff, as usual, guys. Keep it up.

I am totally ashame of Australia Govt. I am a labour voter, who has a long memory.

Immensely interesting interviews today. Always good.

🇭🇲Australians are a dynamic people.🇭🇲

One minor quibble with Tony Abbott’s quote, as an American lefty: the supposed “Trump derangement syndrome” partially exists BECAUSE we’ve been frantically trying to warn people about Trump’s “Putin fascination syndrome.” Ronald Reagan would be spinning in his grave if he saw what Trump has done to his formerly staunchly anti-Russian GOP.

England still in a huff over Peter the Great and his mates, trashing Evelyn's rental?

Agree Australia has been really poor in support.... all we hear is poor excuses

Slavia ukraine

Excellent reporting as always! Thanks!

Simplistic analysis indeed, Mark.

So Australia's Labour has stopped sending stuff to Ukraine because of Chinese blackmail. How about sending shipments secretly?

Soldiers dying Civilians crying Politicians lying

Totally agreed with what was said about the economic impact on the Ukrainian cheese exporting markets

Australia doesn’t need the paper tigers

Embarassing by Australia

Aussie buying these submarines is the greatest betrayal of the Australian military in its history. The pie is only so big and these subs come at a detriment to all other branches of the military. Only $5 million a day for 33yrs that's all. These assets are so expensive even America can't afford to build them and any ways are unsuitable for the supposed task at hand. They are far to big. The draught of Chinese boats is 6mtrs. The draught on these boats is 12mtres. They are designed for the Nth Atlantic not, i repeat not for the shallow water of the Sth China Sea or around Taiwan. What a con job !

Australia 🇦🇺 hasn't reopened their embassy in Ukraine?

BLIGE BILGE BILGE

Slava ukraini

🇦🇺 spot on

What is the overall tonnage Russia has lost so far to a country without a navy?

44:00 "covered by diplomatic immunity" - are some also owned by Ukraine under the Moscow Treaty of Succession 4 December 1991???

who's your favourite and why is it Dom?

These patrol ships are protecting the Kerch bridge but by doing so present a target, who will protect the protectors and when they are all gone who will protect the Bridge?

'... give President Zelensky the tools...'

Dla Polski można wiele zrobić , ale z Polską nic. Pozdrowienia dla Wolnej i Bogatej Ukrainy.

Just turn off the comments at this point. There's bots responding to bots out here 🤖

DFAT are hysterical about protecting people from themselves

Please pronounce Ukraine with accent on 2nd syllable , not first.

Zort! Vuna, vuna...

Congratulations for your efforts

Wow that Australian journalist was just a coalition mouth piece. That government was the worst government in Australian history.

US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland’s contribution to undermining the relations between Moscow and Washington is colossal, she put all her efforts into destroying the dialogue, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, commenting on Nuland’s retirement on the sidelines of the World Youth Festival. "She should have used her knowledge about Russia on upbuilding, but she used it on destruction of bilateral relations. And, in general, I believe, her personal contribution to undermining the trust between our countries was colossal," the diplomat noted. "It’s a different story, though, that she is most likely not the only one or the mastermind, but, one way or another, she has become the face of everything that is happening around Ukraine right now." "She did not engage in diplomacy, she engaged in interference in internal affairs of other countries, primarily our country, Ukraine, Eastern and Western Europe," the diplomat said. "She engaged in implementation and forming of a destructive course - destructive not only for other states, but for the US as well, because it has led to a fiasco of the US foreign policy." "This fiasco is total. Zelensky rushes about, he is begging for anything at all, the White House denies his pleas. There is a total disarray within NATO," the spokeswoman noted.

It never was a stalemate.

God Bless Aussie for supporting the Ukraine war effort. There are People out there that understand the risk of Russia winning this War. It would be Catastrophic to the World in General if Russia was to Prevail here, Europe would be the Next target and the Western World on a whole would be in danger from the unforeseen consequences.

Yeah, take Latika's views with a grain of salt the size of Gibraltar. She's always had a cosy relationship with the conservative Liberal Party here in Oz and pretty negative stances towards Labor, so her views are not surprising. The Abbott government was **the worst** government on every quantifiable metric Australia has ever had (and her interview was as softball as they come). Whilst they might have been right about putin and russia, the Abbott/ScoMo governments since 2013 have been the most destabilising, divisive and incompetent governments Australia has ever seen. The Albanese government might a better 'administrative' government, but they are far too timid in the international sphere and absolutely **are** dropping the ball on russia/Ukraine.

Its definetly not a stalemate...the russian are advancing bigly 😂

“This war is not in stalemate”... 😂

This war is not in stalemate. True. Ukraine is in Zugzwang.

“This war is not in stalemate” - True, Russia is advancing and Ukrainian forces are collapsing

🇷🇺👍🏻

I’m an American who has lived in Australia for 20 years. There is little in the news about Ukraine. Really, all the news can seem to talk about is sports & recycle 2 day old stories from US papers. It’s hopeles! I’ve been listening to/ watching the Telegraph everyday along with many other European, Ukrainian & US sources for over a year on RU-vid & iTunes. I’m so embarrassed by my own country (US), I wear pro-Ukrainian clothing everyday, written about the war for our Greek Newspaper & presented on it at an academic conference. I feel like Ukraine has picked up the spirit of our founders that we have forgotten. There were rallies in Australian capital cities on the day of the invasion but they were pathetically small. People are too obsessed with culture wars & shopping.

Isn't it sad that we regard statements by western politicians such as Macron as essentially political posturing. I'm pretty sure most of us hear his comments as just another take on a European French controlled army and more business for French companies. If we actually have the politicians we deserve then we are in big trouble.

“The Ukrainians are under severe pressure and the line of contact is moving backwards over a frontage of over 100 km, but let’s talk about a sunk patrol ship”. The Ukrainians would devoutly wish the current situation was a stalemate. Let’s have serious commentary about serious situations.

Yes, the current Australia Government is still plagued by it 'Socialist Left' wing, heavily influenced in the past, by its Trade Union background which for DECADES was penetrated by soviet and separately chinese(marxist/leninist) movements subverting, or attempting to, the political direction of AUS and to gain influence. Having 'knowledge' of these attempts, do not dismiss this assertion !

Telegraph keep forgetting this is a land-war.

Great interview / chat Dom. As an Australian, a former ADF member & avid listener to the "Ukraine: the latest" podcast I am disappointed in the Wests dropping the ball (politically & militarily) with the support to Ukraine. The US Republicans (the House Speaker & some key House Republicans) are enabling Russian success on the battlefield by withholding military support/supplies & all for political gain for their Narcissistic Leader. I am equally disappointed in the fact that key European countries have had 2 years to mobilise their economies in support for Ukraine &/or expand their munitions manufacturing industries... but have failed & this has been exposed with what has happened with the US Republicans turning the tap off in the House. Every day I ask myself ...How is it that 30+ other members of NATO are not able to match (or at least get much beyond halfway) what the US alone could do re munitions supplies to Ukraine ? ...& lastly, yes, I too am disappointed in the Australian Govts drop in military support to Ukraine. ... If Russia is allowed / enabled by Western / Democratic nations to win (by playing the long game), then it will only embolden other such like minded dictatorships to "have a go" at their neighbours & as such get us all.into another World War ...if we're not already there. ....Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Can we have an update on the map to see how impactful the attack on a ship has on the land. This war is about land . Hitting a ship while.losing Advidka the most fortified city in Donestky is meaningless. Am sure the west would including Dom would rather report about a city liberated by Ukraine using western weapons than hitting a solitary ship using drones..😂😂

Okay, Daily Telegragh,Okay Russia is as per usual,losing.

lenskis

Those GOPs and far rights in Australia has a calculation problems.

The woke Telegraph - Sssssh, don't talk about the Russian advances on the front line, instead just talk about the Black sea. ⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟥🟥🟥🟥

Sorry to say it but Australia is not doing the right thing at the moment. I am asking friends and acquaintances to write to their local MP to raise the delivery of Taipans to Ukraine. I have done it. My local MP wrote back to me and explained that the liberals are trying to bring it up in parliament. Putting our head in the sand is just as bad as some European countries do.😢

Yes when one side is gaining territory that is not a stalemate.

More Nonsense from the Telegraph....... of course Ukraine is winning 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Has no understanding of American conservative principles.

We bring u full scale bs

Correct. It’s not a stalemate. Russia is actively advancing along the frontlines are these naval attacks are just a distraction that Ukraine is losing in every aspect of this war.

This is funny....thesecsame guys just tried to tell me that this war was in stalemate just last week.

Russia expects each EU ambassador to Moscow to explain what they are doing in the country and how they will organize their work in the future, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. "We are waiting for them to explain what they will do in our country, how they see their functions, how they will build working processes. I think that they won’t get away with a single spokesman who will appear somewhere in Brussels and speak for all of them. Let them - each and every one of them - answer what they are doing in our country and how they are going to organize their work in the future," she said at a briefing on the sidelines of the World Youth Festival. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said earlier that he had invited EU ambassadors to Moscow for a clarification meeting before the Russian presidential election, but they refused two days before the scheduled event.

The west falls n russia marches on

Of course it's no stalemate .Russia is winning

Ukrainian army bravely advancing westwards. They will reach berlin in 5 weeks.

Question: if trump is ellected, can the world avoid buying American weapons?

🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

i am a simple man. One side takes ground, that side is winning. No one takes ground, its a stalemate.

How is russia invading ukraine any different to America invading Iraq? Both are awful, but I don't see how in the eyes of law they are different

Let me start by saying that I strongly favor aid to Ukraine. I am not an isolationist. But I think that the podcast badly misunderstands US domestic politics. The podcast argued that the US "right" is fascinated by Putin and his claim to defend Christianity. I think that this is grossly exaggerated. Very few Americans of any persuasion admire Putin. To the extent that the US right has become skeptical of aid to Ukraine, it is because they perceive that Ukraine was integral in 2 efforts to impeach President Trump. They deeply distrust President Biden because he has used government agencies to punish and suppress his political opponents, including pushing the farce that the January 6 protest was an "insurrection." They also see that President Biden is opening US borders in violation of US law and find it preposterous to send money to Ukraine to defend Ukraine's borders while failing to defend US borders. The fundamental problem is that President Biden has not made the case to the American people that extensively supporting Ukraine is in the US national interest. Although I believe that it is, President Biden must make this case to people who do not reflexively support him. He has failed to do so.

It is not a stalemate. Russia is winning. Young men are fleeing Ukraine.

Division of future Ukraine territories: 50% Russian controlled, 20% Poland control, 10% Romanian control, 10% Hungarian control and 10% Kyiv (post-war neutral) controlled. Coastal regions 100% Russian control.

Sunk a ship but lost two HIMARS one s300 and yet another Abrams tank also losing more ground as they have every single day since the first of the year

Definitely not a stalemate as U.S. led Nato backed forces are getting totally smashed up in Ukraine. Pretending the sinking of a 'patrol' boat (Russia can easily replace via the Volga transit route) is some sort of game changing victory for the U.S. led Ukrainian (Nato) forces is truly risible.

Ukraine is losing. Stop the war.
