How Ukrainian forces will respond to Russia’s spring offensive | General Sir Richard Shirreff 

Shame on the west though !!!!!

I am quite sure that if the USA withdraws from NATO, it is the American arms industry that will lose the most. There are so many good alternatives with European ownership rights that are currently produced under license in the USA. If we cannot trust the US as an ally, these agreements will most likely be terminated. In addition, European weapon systems will be reduced. Thus releasing large sums for the build-up, development and production of European weapon systems.

Chump, MTraitorG and Johnson, have a lot to answer for.

Very Excellent INFO , Thank You !!!

We laugh at RU deploying T55's, but if you ony have small arms ammo and extremely limited anti tank / artillery to counter, you are still going to have to withdraw in the face of them.

Very good talk. I was suspicious about the early victory trumpets.

Don't let this man weaken how strong you really are together 😊

I suspect this offensive will be Russia's last big push. I doubt they can keep this up for more than another year. If Ukraine can bend but not break this spring/summer, I think Russia is done.

History shows can not beat Russian

Slava Ukraine💛💙

General Sherreff often underestimates Ukrainian resilience and strength and often overestimates Russian 'successes!'

Richard is out-to-lunch.

Britantsy pri okkupatsii Severa Rossii v 1918 godu sozdali pervyy na territorii Rossii kontslager'. Khorosho, chto ikh vygnali.

Insightful questions, james. Great preparation, as usual.

Yahoooo😁

That's why even if the west and some parts of europe may hate putin ..Ukraine is who paying a heavy price so negotiation is the way out not war

Pushing him back? He hasn't advanced measurably since he was pushed back after the initial invasion.

These armchair generals are brilliant.

Russia fighting 32 countries alone its not only ukrane ..

We need a Putin Pullout. 😂 As an American I am furious, I can’t imagine the volume of email and phone calls into House Representatives offices. I call and/or write weekly at least. They see the people speaking, they see Mr Speaker flirting with worldwide disaster, they KNOW.

They have already reacted in such a way that their heels sparkled.

Again, agree with general 100%. But even with funding, logistics must be in place to rapidly distribute munitions, missiles, and supplies to the UA. With deep respect to European nations, they should not assume U.S. or any Nation will commit regardless of Article 5 so increasing budgets, manpower and the necessary production to maintain & will a long term war with Russia which will last a considerable time. U.S. and NATO can defeat Russia with conventional forces and drive them back but how much territory is NATO willing to give up at what costs? How many casualties both military & civilian. Russia will only cease operations if they are beaten back with incredible and non sustaining loses. Then the threats of Nuclear will need to be considered. But we cannot allow Russia to bully US and NATO nor UKRAINE.

According to the "experts" Russia ran out of ammo last year.

Kiev Nazi's defense lines are collapsing along the whole front, just few hours ago Bognovka was liberated by the Russians

Thinking on it, no other human alive has caused as much pain and suffering, devastation and death as putin

Shame on Donald Putin

Those two words are like opposite: “Push out Putin”….”Should I put in or push out?!?” 🤔

The numbers given the answer about this war and the impossibility Russia to win, in a conventional war of course. First number the front line have at least 1000 km, it means that if you theoretical put a man aligned to control 4m it gives about 250 000 men, and if you want a tank for witch 1km aligned controled you must have about 1000 tanks, thats how you get for the numbers minimum to hold uniform standing front lines, of course in practice you don't aligned but it will gave an idea of the minimum manpower and mecanized brigade do it. When you don't have this numbers, generally use the artillery, and that the key point for the Russians, they don't have this numbers but if they use artillery with maximum 70km range they only need about 15 bateries, but they have more. The artillery is only effective if we have areal support and the enemy don't have none. So if you analise the Russian modus operandi in this war can see that the Russians are pushing for the part they have advantage in the battle field for winning, artillery. For that in the first 6 month of the invasion they vanished the Ukrainian air force capability. So the first measure for Ukraine win the war is inactive the Russian artillery and the logistic supply, only with that they can advance and retaking the occupied territory. For do it they need an effective air force, for this specific task its needing only 5 fighters in continus air activity for 24h, with the rotation complete need 10 fighters in total to break all the Russian artillery now in the field. Than more 5 focus in the cutting logistic supply came from the Russian border, so in the total the Ukrainian air force need 15 to 20 fights minimum with capability at least 4G or 4G+. When the Ukrainians get this two main objectives that the real sign the war is over for Russia conventionally speaking.

Did Russia announce a spring offensive ? It is normally Ukraine that announces it.

Who said russia was going to have a offensive?

what if ukraine lost and russia occupaite whole ukraine,what you doing after ?if putin is on border of polen or nato ?If you sacrifice Ukraine like this, who will trust you anymore?

´How Ukrainian forces will respond to Russia’s spring offensive´ Answer: they won´t because they can´t. _Next!_

Get your damm audio right Times Radio!! I had to turn up my volume to max to listen to the report just for an ad suddenly scream shhock my ear in the middle! You should know that some people got to wear headset listening to you!

Ukraine has already lost the conflict. The extra billions will not make any difference.

back to....Kiev?

This war has always had a sense of back door agreement between Russia & the US. US was Never going to give Ukraine the Weapons capable of defeating Russia. Just enough to keep the fighting to continue.

just talking, nobody fighting...

I'm leaving europe to go live in Americaville

Napoleonic Wars: These wars, spanning from 1803 to 1815, are estimated to have caused 3 million to 6 million deaths including soldiers and civilians. How many deaths will there be due to the war in Ukraine? Is Putin a Napoleon?

I have been a supporter of trump, but not any more . There are many that feel the same way! I will not vote for any maga thinking !!!

Russia got 8 million army

usa sees trump as No foreign affairs, all domestic. Usa sees Biden as all foreign affairs , No domestic. We Need a Candidate who is BOTH, Foreign and Domestic !! a "Third and Fourth Party" !!!

With all the lying going on it makes me think who is actually telling the truth.

I don't know about "upcoming" - the Russian offensive seems pretty continuous at the moment and a dramatically weakened Ukraine seems to be very much on the back foot. It really is time to talk peace. The more ground the Russians gain the more concessions they will ask for at the conference table.

As much as many would love the defeat of Russia, the total collapse of Russia's military-industrial complex would undermine equivalent industries in the west. If that same scenario spread to China, why would America needs a General Dynamics or Lockheed Martin? War industries only thrive with a worthy and credible adversary. As Defense Secretary Austin pleads with Ukraine not to destroy Russian oil and refinery assets, there are those in the west who would benefit from excess crude in the marketplace despite the fact it being pumped and sold by an adversary. Political loyalties and ideological beliefs have no place when profits are concerned. Just ask the Swiss how they benefitted by cooperating with Berlin and Washington during WW2.

Never trust anyone with a French dictionary on their shelf.

since 2022 ukraine given $200billion and lost 765 000 troops apart from those thousands gravily injured with no limbs for example and now if Russia conduct the real counteroffensive the world is afraid that ukraine will lose more than a million this time around with now a mere $60billion.

The Ukrainians will retreat to Lviv, only to find the Polish Army already there.

Trump 2024! America first!
