behind the scenes, Russia is asking questions 

There were three partitions of Poland, variously between Prussia (Germany), Austria-Hungary and Russia until it dissapeared entirely.

​@@peterjohnson1091 The Unification of Germany 1871. At the time, Gdansk was part of Prussia, to the Germany. Austria-Hungary and Russia Is the above part of The Treaty of Versailles at the end of WWI ? The non-Aggression Pact of 1939. Poland was "carved up" by Chancellor Adolf Hitler and Comrade Stalin. Treaty of Versailles at the end of WWII. Please, can you fill in "the blanks" for me ? Thank You.

@@FunnyBunny-pd5xx First Partition (1772) - 30% of territory lost Second Partition (1793) Third Partition (1795) - that's when Poland disappeared from the map completely being finally absorbed by the three major powers Then Poland rose up again in 1918. Part of it was because of Versailles, part of it was because Poland simply rebelled. This lead to the Polish-Soviet war in 1919. Then Poland was carved up again in 1939 by Hitler and Stalin through Ribbentrop-Molotov

It might be worth giving up Crimea which has a majority Russian ethnic population. This would allow Russia to maintain face. Putin 's guarantees remain nothing so. Ukraine in NATO is an absolute must. Russia has destroyed their own military and are not a conventional threat to neighbours.

@@normbale2757 Any surrender of territory is a message that aggression will be rewarded.

@@jonathanwetherell3609 Russia losing 75% of their regular army makes them less than a cedible threat for new aggression (They will continue to stir up shit where possible otherwise.) Almost all wars end in a negotiation.

@@normbale2757 nonsense.

@@normbale2757 Absolute best the Russians can hope for at this point is that Ukraine agrees to some form of Crimean regional autonomy... like it was before Putin messed with Ukrainian politics and EU integration. Some kind of autonomy then a supervised vote in 10 years? Maybe the Ukrainians would go for that if they got everything else they wanted. You know, like a guarantee that no Russian forces (including Navy) are stationed there. Maybe Zelenskyy could sell that to the very, very angry Ukrainian people. Maybe.

Really, can you watch St Petersburg walking tour. so clean, so many young people, no obesity. It's about 10 months old. Not what I expected.

What about the Kaliningrad Enclave? Give that bit of East Prussia to Germany.

@@peterjohnson1091 Absolutely yes but split it between Poland and Lithuania. No need to repeat the pretense that started WWII i.e. Germany demanding a correidor to East Prussia.

Look, I agree Russia should pay a price. But I wouldn't wish UN administration on my worst enemy. And as a US taxpayer I don't care to foot the bill.

@@peterjohnson1091: Germany doesn’t want Kaliningrad back. It would either become independent, like Luxembourg, or become part of Poland.

YOU are living in Disneyland ! IMO It IS Ukraine which will be eventually FORCED to concede The Kharkiv Oblast in return for PEACE. The Russia-Ukraine Conflict began in 2014. CLEARLY, the single, strong, young men and women, who are enjoying a safe life in Mainland Europe, have not any intentions of fighting for their collective Homeland. Plenty of keyboard warriors though ! BUT Z needs Soldiers not Typists ! Are YOU at The Front ?

If I suddenly declared that Moscow is now all mine, I suspect many Muscovites might disagree. It is not greatly different from them saying that parts of Ukraine are now theirs. They would most likely point to certain parts of history in their support. However, those parts would be VERY carefully selected and not necessarily consistent with the Ukrainian view of history.

In a sense, it doesn't matter if they do, or don't militarily. They will cost Russia too much to hold, even civilly.

​@@AnonJohn143 P.P. at the very beginning of The SMO claimed he did not wish to "Govern over Ukraine" P.P. ONLY asked "Ukraine does not make overtures to become an Europeon Union Member State a NATO Member State. Sadly, for Z this was too BIG an ask !

Are you aware, since April 2024, Russian Soldiers have steadily advanced Westwards, in the previous few days, advancing two/three kilometers in one day, across The Kharkiv Oblast ? Ukrainian Soldiers have repeatedly conducted "a tactical retreat."

Have you thought to ask Z "Where are the $118 bn, which has already been *GIVEN in financial aid and militarily support has gone ? WHEN, from a population of just under 38 million, 12.8 million Ukrainians living in Ukraine, are existing in poverty ? I THOUGHT, Z was fighting for Ukraine to be a FULLY functioning democracy FOR his people ? *Already GIVEN or pledged.

@@FunnyBunny-pd5xx doesn't matter what original reasons are given whether we disagree, or not. My point was this, it also doesn't matter what territory is taken, it matters what they can hold long term', and at what cost. I'm not even taking sides, I'm being logical.

Российское население пока ничего не чувствует. По последним опросам «Левады» 71% процент россиян считает что их страна «движется в правильном направлении». Этот вопрос ценен тем что в нём не упоминается слово «война», слово «Украина» или другие опасные слова. Русские вообще ничего не чувствуют. Для них война в Украине это просто «работа на северах», куда можно поехать и заработать денег

@@alexanderlex8094Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, even if it’s a troll.

The shadows of Moscow hold the key to this.

Exactly. Russia wants the respect (fear) that it had when it was the Soviet Union. To get that, it needs to bring Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Georgia and the Baltic States into the Russian Federation.

Yanks

UK/Raine is about resources, there are multi billions in minerals and gas, a document is available online that lists the potential. A USA senator stated on record that the USA should have access to them. The territory is simply being carved up by the big players👍

The war is lost dude...wake up

@@adiadi5832Kursk is Ukraine, wake up 😂

Please explain that metaphor. At least I'm hoping that's what it is..

Very odd and confused take on the UK.

"If Ukraine simply continues as it has, Russia will collapse and fragment as a country." From your lips to God's ear.

How many Ukrainians left the country?they crying for fighting man right now as russians rapidly retreat to west....stop getting news from Msm and inform ourself from neutral sources....on frontline things look bad for zelensky

All can be true, but Russia has resources for many years, even decades. As long as they have money coming in from oil, and a loyal population (Russians haven't known anything else than being subordinate to the state), they can continue.

The whole world needs to stop burning petroleum. For good.

P.P. IS protecting its shared land border with Ukraine. Ukraine becoming a NATO Member State is a CONSTANT National Security Threat on Russia's doorstep ! Ukraine becoming an Europeon Union Member State WILL have a negative impact on The Russian economy. P.P. will NEVER permit this ! He WILL protect his people.

I don't know what her position, if any, in their political hierarchy is but I suspect that if she is of relatively high/ish rank and didn't say something of this sort it might prove very difficult for her. Perhaps terminally so.

It could also be an indication the Kremlin is fearing Kamala Harris could become the next U.S. president. That is their ultimate nightmare. A female president in their largest rival country. Should that happen Russia is likely to minimalize it's potential to lose face to the U.S. Therefore by ending the war in Ukraine themselves, they would not have lost face by losing to a woman. Remember the Ukranian war is sold in Russia as the U.S. and NATO using Ukraine as a proxy to attack Russia. Totalt BS, off course, Russia wanted to prevent Ukraine becoming a democracy with membership in The EU and NATO for two reasons. 1) Russia feared a free and democratic Ukraine who through EU membership had economic growth could inspire the Russian people to desire the same and rebel against the Russian leadership. 2) Russia feared the strength of NATO, should one of Europe's largests countries bordering Russia become a member. Those are the rational reasons. An irrational 3rd. reason is Putin's desire to reverse the break up of the Soviet Union of the 1990s so his name will stand out in the history books. But losing to a woman, in Russian eyes, will make Kremlin appear weak, and that would threaten them internally more than anything. So the stronger support Kamala Harris have in the U.S, the more interested Kremlin could be of getting the war in Ukraine ended themselves, the sanctions lifted and life returned more to how it was before, rather than continue to fight with Ukraine without success in a conflict they have painted to the Russian people as a U.S. and NATO orchestrated war, and therefore, should the next U.S. president be Kamala Harris, it would be a woman they appeared to be losing against if they didn't succeed taking Ukraine. It is also possible the Kremlin has realized the war in Ukraine to not be possible to fully win, and therefore the best way of reaching their main objektive, preventing Ukraine from becoming a NATO country, would be through negotiations. If so, they could be calculating Ukraine might agree to remain a neutral country, provided they got back all of their territory and was allowed to join the EU. Should Kamala Harris win, the U.S, the EU and other Western countries continue their support for Ukraine and beefing up their military production as planned, it will be increasingly difficult and costly for Russia to continue the war in, and occupation of, Ukraine and Ukranian territories. Through negotiations to prevent Ukraine to become a NATO coyntry, could be the only way to achieve something with the appearance of being a result Russia could paint as a victory. Therefore getting those negotiations started and finished quickly, could be the smartest move Russia could make, instead of waiting to a point in time where they risked Ukraine favoured their military chances more.

What it deserves is removing Putin for starting this bloodbath.

when putin goes …and he WILL go one way or another…sooner or later…mark my words…russia will collapse…again…like a heap of garbage that was not put to garbage bag on time and this time…it will not be allowed to reheal

U can say same thing about west and Us....the rising stars are in Asia l

@@adiadi5832the poorest of the poor are in Asia too

All well and good but who controls the election and the questions on ballots? The Russians, the Ukrainians, an international body? One side or the other would always find ways to object to the people organising it. A resolution will not happen until the Russian people realise that Putin has wrecked the Russian economy and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people on both sides to just make his name in history.

That would be an American decision

That's naive in Russian world. Kremlin does not allow people to decide.

I thought "Two-tier Keir" was a reference to policing. Seems it includes tax arrangements too now

Well, if you understood what the LTA was and how the Tories abolished for everyone in April, we could have a rational conversation.

@@davidhollins870 Yes. Starmer has been specifically exempted from the restrictions of the lifetime allowance, meaning he can make unlimited contributions to his pension in excess of £1 million , completely tax free. A gift from a grateful Tory Government in 2013.

@@stephfoxwell4620 The alternative being massive demands from the whole civil service. The Tories have abolished LTA, so what is the issue? Farage is getting his e73k pension from Europe in 2027 - we are the mugs paying it. What exactly did he do in Europe?

And just what does your post have to do with this video? Indeed questions need to be asked but please post them somewhere relevant!

Trump could still win the election in November. He beat Hilary Clinton in 2016 even though Clinton got more individual votes than he did.

I can’t see Putin agreeing to any ceasefire deal that involves Russia ceding any territory under Russian control. At the moment, he’s pushing for a deal that involves Ukraine ceding territory that Russia hasn’t occupied yet. I think the most Putin would be willing to accept is a freezing of the front line with only very minor adjustments, and an armistice rather than a peace. This was how the Korean War ended in 1953.

And when you are old and past you prime they will take you for every penny that you have!

That’s right. Trump is Putin’s useful idiot while Harris is not.

In you mind maybe….once you sober up you might see otherwise

In russia 2 week war kiev in 3 days

Yeah, just like when Hitler was winning. How long for?

Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany allied in 1939 with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (otherwise known as the Nazi-Soviet Pact or the Hitler-Stalin Pact), they openly agreed not to invade each other, and not to help any countries that invaded each other, and secretly agreed to divide up Poland and stay out of each other's way when both countries invade their neighbours. This Pact was one of the most significant elements of Hitler's early gains, as it meant Germany only had to fight a one-front war. Ukraine was _invaded and occupied_ by Germany, just like Holland and France - but we don't say 'Holland and France fought for the Nazis'.

@@transvestosaurus878 I agree we don't advertise the fact that some in the countries you mentioned (and others) collaborated with Nazi Germany but Ukraine was later part of the USSR not Europe.

If anything Putin has proven that NATO expansion was the correct decision, and needs to be continued.

Wrong. Read a history book. Russia doing what it has always done. Slowly expanding. Taking territory by force.

Since when Ukraine fought with Nazi Germany???Any facts to support your idiotic statement??

100 divisions? rumors? what rumors?? russian trolls on twitter?
