'Putin can still be crushed': Russia's brutal invasion two years on | Ukraine: The Latest Special 

Something from the podcast I feel bears repeating; "With every inch of land that Ukraine loses, Russia becomes less of Ukraine's problem and more of a global problem".

They can't be serious. On this very day Avdiivka has fallen. It was the most defended city in The Ukraine and held on for 9 years and was used as an artillery fire station to shell the city of Donetsk that whole time. What are these people even talking about?

It was interesting seeing the faces behind Ukraine: The Latest for the first time after all these months.

I guess these are Boris Johnson's 'wilderness years.'

Don’t interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake - Sun Tzu

What aircraft? As far as I know no aircraft from the USA have been used yet. Missiles yes but then the supply was stopped.

The title alone is proof positive that the west has lost it's way. Winning a war by proxy is more important than doing what was right for Ukrainians of all allegiances (honoring Minsk2). My wife is Ukrainian, low and behold she wants nothing to do with all that our leaders in the west are selling. She grew up in eastern Ukraine and sees this for what it is, a coup staged by Nuland and friends to weaken Russia only to have it boomerang right back on the west. That the whole commentariat is so morally obtuse and lacks historical context is even more baffling. I hail from Chile where the US pulled another regime change (on 9/11 no less, 1973 however). The western governments care nothing for helping people in need, they wouldn't let Gaza be incinerated if they did, they care only for PR wins and posturing to be holier than thou when in reality we do only that which enriches us at the detriment of other nations. Leaving behind nations in ruin and millions exiled. Iraq, Syria, Libya, Chile, Myanmar/Burma, Vietnam, Japan, so on and so forth. It's sad that people still fall for the tried and true guise of manufactured consent. At some point one would think that folks would circle back, despite the predisposition to get bored and moving on to the next, and contrast and compare what was said from what came to pass to see we're constantly duped. WMDs... oh wait there are none. Assad must go... oh wait, we're still there occupying oil fields illegally. Russiagate... oh wait it was made up in a think tank to demonize Trump whilst spying on your own citizens without a court order. A lot of my wife's family members are on the front line, on the side that is on the right side of history. Not on the Bandera adulating crazies that lost their way. Sooner or later the dust will settle and people will forget to look back to see that it was all a sham to sell more weapons at the expense of all Ukrainians while their leaders enriched themselves. Disgusting behavior that we, citizens of the west, enable by believing at face value all the nonsense our media make up.

'Putin can still be crushed' - seems to be the most popular song among the Western so called leaders for the last 24 years. "Sweet dreams are made of this..." - remember this one?

Ukrainians advance backwards russians retreat forwards?....

Great show this one. The ambassador is a true American gentleman - so far removed from those Republicans who are blocking aid.

Thu Zombie Russian Army of untrained convicts armed solely with shovels has managed to encircle thousands of Ukraine's best Western trained troops in Avdeevka. Dom is pure satire at this point

Remember Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan …

Is this a joke? Get Scott Ritter or Douglas MacGregor on the panel, they have something different to say

This talk has achieved nothing!

I can't even describe how fake and plastic their speeches feel to me. I am convinced that these people are committing crime against Ukrainian nation by tricking into this hopeless war against a Nuclear Superpower. This whole panel must be prosecuted and held accountable for what they do!

So insightful to see an agreed biased set of fixed outcomes in a promo talk for war manufacturers.

If Russia takes the whole Ukraine in which case it may happen, zelensky's agreements mean nothing.

NATO's plot against Russia has unravelled ! Former Colonialists in NATO in PANIC !😱!

51:38 "Too much hand wringing and not enough responsibility" Brilliant!!!

America can be trusted and rely on...Afghanistan ring a bell

What a load of old bollocks 😂

1.40? With American air craft? 😵‍💫 I know they have been prommised 100 times and postponed 100 times. ... How much do they pay for reading?

This is why we’re losing. We’re in a fight with our head stuck through a portal into an alternate universe 😐

Wasn't Iraq brutal and illegal invasion ? Lybia? 😅

"We should want Ukraine to take back all of its territory"??? The word that blows my mind in that statement by Francis is "should". For myself I would put it this way: 'I'm doing what I can to help Ukraine take back all of its territory.'

An Empire? Is that why the US has so many military bases around the world. Isn't this a constant source of conflict? And how do we contain it?

Ukraine is another Cambodia waiting for CASH CASH CASH CASH CASH CASH CASH CASH CASH

Lies And properganda don't win war

Your team has greatly impressed me with your devotion to expanding the domain of truth into the public sphere.

Did she say American aircraft? Maybe f-16s are already ukraine? That can explain the 6 russian planes that were shot down in the last 3 days

joke

Although I agree with most of what was said, I think France being occupied by Russia during Napoleonic Wars is a weird.. well whatever that was. In case of Napoleonic Wars, it was France who attacked and Russia was occupied by it (Moscow was burned to the ground)

So now the tune changed to 'Still can be crushed?'

they only see their bruised ego they are willing to sacrifice human life in some ideoligical fantasy

the money laundry must be kept going

Zero counter point of view nice

The intro to these videos is off the charts cringe.

So out of touch that it seems I'm watching Madame Web.

Rubbish. Peace talks needed immediately. Should have had it last year but Boris stopped it.

The first country, which will have to leave the Security Council will be UK. It is now a quite weak, smaller middle power. UK could be replaced by India.

1:23:32 - 1:23:34 This lady just quoted Napoleon -) Oh yeah. Good luck 👍

Russia won valuable territory, the United States won hundreds of weapons contracts and Ukraine lost everything.

Where is Boris Johnson and the Minsk Agreement? Avdiivka has fallen, just like Bahkmut...

War mongers unite!

Lots of ruminating over U.S. support for defending Ukraine’s border. Zero conversation over support for defending the U.S.’s borders.

Keep up the good work Times team. Great guests. Refreshing discussion. 😊

Top session- & yes I now see the faces of the Podcast.

This discussion seams like being in dreamland. But sometimes dreams come true.

It's hard for me to understand that this panel actually believe the lies they are spouting.

What 50% territory has Ukraine retook? Bahkmut? Mariupol? Russia just took Avdeevka, with the 'help' of Western Weapons. Outright lies.

“The Russian army are like zombies”, and ”there is fear in NATO” priceless war loser comedy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

When did Daniel Radcliffe get into journalism?

No matter the company, Francis & Dom shine. Thanks to all for this super content.

Hahaha british presstitutes are losing it.

I personally angry that Europe has not gotten together to organise more and more factories for munitions and weapons. Accelerating production in existing facilities does increase output, but in the end it has proven to not to be anywhere near enough. I do wonder if the saying that has done the rounds " we are helping Ukraine to fight, but not enough to win " is true and even possibly intentional.

Wow , pure British BS.

I have never seen anyone who’s “winning” look so miserable.

What Blathering rubbish is spoken here about F-16s? The idea that combined arms warfare, the deployment of patriots and himars, the ability to deploy jdams with impunity and avoid Russian FAB-500s which demolished Bakmuht and Avdivka defenders would not all be changed by 50-75 F-16s is complete insanity. The absence of the F-16s is a crime.

These talks achieve exactly what??? ACTION is needed???

Great discussion from Alberta Canada ...

Hey everyone! Listening from Avdiivka! Ukraine stands strong!!🫂😊

The Geneva convention must be updated to make it illegal to profit on insider trading from investing in military corporations. Russia is not the enemy. We have serious corruption in the USA and England does too.

Pure delusion!! 💯

I LIKE David's final thoughts!! Keep it up! 😊 from Kathy, WA State, listening to Ukraine The Latest daily. ❤

For how long they gonna feed us with this BS?

No mention of Minsk 2 Accords,strange .

Boris Johnson thats all !

American aircraft and British tanks? Didn't the Germans supply the majority of non-Soviet tanks?

No danger of unbiased reporting here, then.

Left wing Woke propaganda NATO has poked and poked the Bear and the Bear has woken up and his angry

these people are living in a fantasy land

They never discuss the shelling of Donbas civilians by the Ukraine military. The areas that declared independence after the US backed the 2014 coup Why is that? Important to the reason for the war no?

Ukraine has strategically withdrawn westward from Avdeyevka in order to be closer to the European Union.

Ah, smell the democracy and free speech! Most of my informed and erudite comments have been deleted. The irony is beautiful!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WHAT A COMEDY! Do they have a working brain?

Marking the anniversary with a Russian win..Advika has fallen

No Nazies allowed in Russias new territory,

These guys are salespersons for thales?🤔 (just curious..).

This ladies message was voiced by military experts in the early days of the war

Its time for Nato to stick to their promise of non- expansion and negotiate.

"with American aircraft and British tanks, Ukraine has weakened Russian capabilities". Does she think the American f-16's are in Ukraine ?

Young chap on the left is 100% correct.

We need to replace Mike Johnson with a supporter of Ukraine, this is the fastest way to pass the aid bill. Mike Johnson will NOT bring aid bill to a vote; he already delays with a highly unusual vacation for House for two weeks. I am counting on retiring Republican House members especially and hopefully more to side with Mike Johnson’s replacement. They need to do the right thing despite political grief. Ronald Reagan would if he were in office would make this happen.

Delusional lot

What drugs are we on in the west?

The Telegraph: I enjoy your Potcasts. I find them interesting, informative, insightful and instructive! As a Christian gentleman who loves peace, compassion, empathy and harmony; rules-based international order is essential for our survival!!! jtsdrd, USA

Open conversations about the facts yeah ok LMFAO 🤣

Horrible horrible comments. How can people defend so much evil?

we can still bring our democracy to Iraq too. just gotta keep doubling down on our insane foreign policy

Bojo riding a storm-shadow, (a-la dr strangelove), is the logical end to this farce?😅

Nothing can beat Western media lies! Simply the best! Lol 😁🤣😅😆

The point that USA spent 0.25% of GDP fighting in Afghanistan vs. the Taliban vs "only" 0.19% currently supporting Ukraine in the fight against Russia was an interesting one. It speaks to what is the highest priority. There were certainly good arguments for spending $2trillion over the years in Afghanistan to TRY TO (though ultimately it failed on multiple fronts) defeat the Taliban and setup a democratic national government in a peaceful Afghanistan with fair and equal "western standard" treatment for women. However, seems to me from a NATO or EU perspective that preventing Mr. Putin's further territorial ambitions, especially in the "grey zones" like Moldova, Albania, Serbia or even the front line NATO states like Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and maybe even Finland would be a higher priority and therefore worth spending a higher % of GDP. Useful and interesting framing by Orysia Lutsevych.

Folks, if in doubt, this is what propaganda looks like

A great podcast. I host a Ukrainian family and they have a home with us for as long as they need one. It's what we can do to support Ukraine and we are grateful to Ukraine who fight for us.

Delusional

Delusional.

I'll listen for a moment...and then laugh

really, what territoty Ukraine took back?

A very good debate. Francis Dearnley gets my vote for his open-mindedness assessing these troubling times. I particularly liked his response to the question about how one might set about influencing the Russian mindset. When the media are so controlled in Russia it is possible to live in that alternative world. The internet works for us as a window on the world but not for them. We have lost our ability to project our values effectively, and the more's the pity.

Thje tragedy of Ukraine is that it WILL continue to succeed as it has until now.
