Is Ukraine losing control of the battlefield? | Ask DW 

Can you imagine calling the guy with the tie an expert? 😂😂

No worries. DW says Russia running out of missiles and Leopards are coming.

Who invited that expert? He talks absolute nonsense

Ukraine lost, two years ago. What you've seen for the last two years is NATO twitching and jerking its corpse like a puppet.

“Chasiv Yar doesn’t mean much to Russians”. What a lie. It is on high ground and advantageous for that reason.

The older dude is so hawkish. Let's see him at the front😂

Where is Boris Johnsson?

American human rights activist Ajamu Baraka: Ukrainians finally realized that they were being prepared for destruction for the sake of the geostrategic interests of the United States, which have nothing to do with them. The result is massive capitulations on the front line and people avoiding conscription.

“When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.” - Edward Snowden

Zelynsky > Clown 🤡

Strategic ambiguity is a trick to give Ukrainians false hope.

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” - Voltaire once said.

“We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South,” said one senior G7 diplomat. “All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost . . . Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.” - Espen Barth Eide, Norway's Foreign Minister

No worries, if DW is saying this then that means Russia is struggling.

She would have been the greatest reporter in history if she would have said "now, it's a ghost town" instead of deserted

No, most pro-Ukriane and pro-West reports stated Russian soldiers are surrendering and deserting. And so now I figured out that the Russian are retreating..towards Kyiv (LOL)and NATO's MBT succeeded in advancing to Moscow as they are now featuring at Moscow square😅

19:24 oh come on, man. the denial here is just jaw-dropping.

Starts at 00:00

Ukraine is in the same spot Germany found itself in 1943-45. They won't be able to claw back the territory they've lost. Best case scenario is they'll hold onto what they still have and be forced to the negotiating table.

Mr. Konstandin's old statements about Russia vs Ukraine proved him wrong several times already.

This is painful.

“What we said about Ukraine has to apply to Gaza. Otherwise, we lose all our credibility,” the senior G7 diplomat added. “The Brazilians, the South Africans, the Indonesians: why should they ever believe what we say about human rights?” - Espen Barth Eide, Norway's Foreign Minister

My God! Are there people who believe these “experts” and “journalists”?

Hard to know what's true , but I'm not seeing any reports of Ukraine taking back any of the territory its lost to Russia.

Western Media aside, 2 years ago most people knew picking a fight with Russia was un winnable. Worse than picking a fight with the Taliban in Afghanistan.

why do you pay money to Konstantin and call him a Russian expert? people throw money away for nothing. the man is completely clueless and full of anger. The journalist seems to be better informed

Ukraine is not only losing , Ukraine will not exist by the end of 2025. Note that !.

Shame you DW ,is Ukraine still winning? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

One sided refrence 😂

So much copium being consumed on this show.

Eggert is a remarkable buffoon. His pontifications about military topics are completely detached from reality. We can’t expect objectivity and competency, but at least DW needs better narrative peddlers

Russia would atleast take the entire Donbass region before negotiating any peace now

In a word, yes. But most of all, Ukraine is running out of people. The demographics are worse than Eritrea during starvation. With that, Ukraine is self-extinguishing.

Abrams has to be withdrawn because it can't survive the drones. Towns that last year held for weeks now falling in hours. Multiple reports of entire brigades surrendering or leaving their position without orders (or refusing to deploy to a position). Complete inadequacy to stop missile bombardment of any city. As RU moves west, AFU artillery has to be repositioned, meaning they have to break cover and move; allowing the ever watchful drones to spot them and destroy them. I dunno, does that sound like "control" to you??

I thought Ukraine was winning this war, DW, as you've been telling us for more than a year! Russian was supposed to have been out of missiles a year ago!

Mr. Eggert is not objective and balanced in his analysis.

Damn ukraine is in bad condition where u cant surrender yet still fighting cost u lives, so much lives

Describing Ukraine as a democracy.. Didn't mention how Zelensky cancelled the recent elections though..

What is happening on the Ukrainian frontline? Young men are dying so European oligarchs may gather more wealth. Sadly it's that simple.

Saying that Russia have no strategy while the west is just throwing money into a corrupted country and refuse any kind of diplomatic possibility is so delusional.

These so call experts

If Ukrainian don’t see the lights in the tunnel, its government needs to think about peace plan for its future regardless what EU or US thinks. It needs to think about how to rebuild not how to destroy, how to save its people not put them in the meat grinder.

Even to an untrained observer like me, your coverage (and the views of your “experts”) strikes me as blindingly one-sided and impossibly optimistic…

Ukraine is a democracy like north Korea 😂

No. No, No. Ukraine is wining and winning bigly.

Is somebody really believe in this BS.... What a Joke..... Lie after lie

Ukraine does not lose control, but Ukraine loses soldiers, and as a result of the loss of soldiers, Ukraine also loses positions on the battlefield in proportion to the lack of soldiers on the front line, and especially Ukraine lacks trained soldiers. Even a few days before, members of the French Foreign Legion came to help the Ukrainians from Slavjansk in Časov Jar, and the Russians already killed seven of them, 5 French and 2 Germans. It is ridiculous to repeat that Chasov Jar is not important, it was the same with Severodonetsk, Lugansk, Soledar, Artemovsk (Bakhmut), Avdeevka, Marinka, etc.

There is literally no difference between this outlet and CNN. Even the anchors sound the same.

How much longer do you think both countries can hold out ?

This guys on some serious alcohol wow 🤩

The Eggert character is FULL of IT.. Where did DW dig this guy from??

No sooner had the Russian analyst picked the microphone than I had started laughing 😂😂

Nice intro beats. 👍🏾

it's not complicated. Ukraine has lost because it was fooled by NATO. NATO was sure that sanctions against Russia, isolating Russia, outproducing Russia in arms and weapons, and NATO's superior weapons would win the day for Ukraine. NATO was wrong on all 4 accounts, Zelensky was a fool to listen to such absurd promises. end of story.

YES! Lack funds, lack soldiers and lacking supply of armaments..stop prolonging this disaster!

“Instead of dropping packages from the sky - some of which end up in the sea or outside of Gaza and which the most vulnerable cannot reach in any case - the US, the UK and others should ensure that Israel immediately opens all crossings into Gaza for aid and aid workers to assist those in need. This includes the Karni and Erez crossings, which give direct access to the north of Gaza. Only safe and unfettered access for aid and aid workers, the lifting of the siege and an immediate ceasefire can end starvation in Gaza.” - Melanie Ward, the chief executive of Medical Aid for Palestinians

Very Excellent Q and A Discussion !!

Why this delay in delivering the systems and weapons already commited?

Wow I've never seen this fashion before with DW. That's great that you do this. I don't know if this is new or maybe not. But it seems like it's new. Keep up the good work 👏🏻😊

Three clueless experts are discussing a war they've no idea, even their leaders are yet to decide what is the end goal😂

Ukraine said it would win with all the game changing weapons 😂 no game has changed.

I love DW, but this was vary bad. Theese guys are tottaly in the clouds, talking about Ukrainian victory. People like this only help Ukraine go down, giving them false sense of a fighting chance, which doesnt exist any more.

In times of war. Democracy is a joke. Everything is on the table and everything has to go through the bureaucratic process before it gets to the hands of soldiers. Isn't that horrible?

Dw in 2022 russia running out of everything soldiers, ammo,missiles everything..🤭🤭

Thank you for this video D.W!!

I dont know why older people are always on denial and war mongering as in the case of the guy with red tie....very hawkish, I think its high time these kind of people are sent to the war front to show their military vigor instead of encouraging the demise of their younger generation. Do these kind of people always think that compromise and deplomatic negotiation is weakness? I see in this man : uneccesary ego and hopelessness....

There is always time for peace talks.

By "everyone" is talking, you mean we are "the west are talking ".

No negotiation as long as battle continues. It's hard.

The real expert is Scott Ritter

I went to Kiev in 2015 and a tour guide told me Kiev was the first capital of Russia so they want their country back. Prior to 1991, wasnt it one country ?

Every town or city Ukraine loses suddenly becomes unimportant 😢why?

the whole reason bahkmut was contested so heavily long past the point of reason was because they knew chasiv yar would never hold.

“Aiding Ukraine, Giving money to Ukraine, is the cheapest possible Way for the US to enhance its security [No US soldiers Are needed to be sent to the Russian Bear’s meat-grinder because the Ukrainians are doing the Fighting and Sacrificing their precious Lives on Behalf of the West; US, EU, Nato].” - Zanny Minton Beddoes, the Economist’s Editor-in-chief

Yes Ukraine is loosing and Ukraine will lost completely if west doesn't give everything all technology and support without wasting time. .....Russia lost in the beginning because Russia underestimated the Ukrainian army. Now, Ukraine and West are loosing because they are underestimating Russia. Russia is not weak as west things.

What about using mercenaries ?

Dear DW: It's completely refreshing to hear your "hard hitting" news reporting. I salute Constantine Eggert, a masterful speaker of plain English, complete with nuance and humor. remulcahy, PGCE (Cantab.)

These shorts of experts are a great threat to misinformation and intentionally pollute the audience with the false hope that leads against the peace process.

anyone notice the footage of Chasiv Yar seems to show foliage and greenery amongst the rubble of the buildings. is like the place had the physical damage done a long time ago and nature has already started to reclaim. Does not look like a place recently hit in battle...

Have you ever watched an anaconda eat a duck ? The duck dies of constriction and Russia is squeezing.

Difficult to defeat Russia

1:30 - ".. a strategically important hilltop" - so you don't don't know the meaning of "strategic"?

People have no memory. The only NATO country that has been invaded and is still partly occupied is Cyprus. The NATO wars against Serbia and Libya had nothing to do with defense. The war against Afghanistan was decided upon in a secret meting of special NATO ambassadors, where the USA made the case that the country was attacked by a non state actor, and that the culprits were in Afghanistan. The USA demanded that the government of Afghanistan had to capture and send the accused to the USA, without any evidence given. The documents that the USA had used to convince the NATO ambassadors that the attackers of the USA were in Afghanistan, and that the NATO attack on Afghanistan had any function in the defense of a NATO country are still secret until this day.

What is the difference between sending French,Germany or British troop to Ukrainian and direct involvement of NATO

Forcing people to fight is bad so ukraine should negotiate

Kindly to ask you to invite again the mister with red tie in 2 months He has very clear and logical answers for the situation

When you have zero probability to win but all your friends goad you into fighting. Any military analyst not on the take would tell you they still have zero %.

Funny that every village as soon as it falls and its not of any strategic value .... lie every time . Its a fortress and when its fall and than its not important anymore ...

Why broadcast when you don't have time?

Looks like you constantly inviting Russia to Berlin again If you like them, that’s fine but if you hate them, leave them alone let’s look for peace You need to learn to stop putting down Russia

I was hoping she would say now it's a ghost town

Loved this

Why ask us the obvious?

"Jail" alternative.....are they joking???

It's always weird to hear her cheerful voice when talking about war.

Is there a solution to the war on the Battle ground?

We ran out of ammo 2 years ago…. Difficult to coordinate government efforts to boost industrial production when you are governed by a double of Putin …. ( the original died several times before finally disappearing a year ago)

On 8 open fronts?

“God Sees the Truth, but Waits.” - Leo Tolstoy

Putin negotiated peace 600,000 Ukraine soldiers ago and Zelensky walked away. This is going to go down as the worst fought war ever.
