The world needs good journalist like you Anna , Your presentation is excellent, you present the latest news from Ukraine in a calm intelligent manner

cabinet shuffles are common in a democracy be worried if people start falling out windows.

Fantastic thanks again

Længe leve Ukraine🍀❤👍

Excellent presentation.

🇸🇪💞🇺🇦

5:25 The population of Mongolia is 3.3 million people. They have the common sense to don't piss off the Russians. The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is not their business.

🇨🇦❤️💛🇺🇦

You failed to mention that the missile attacks on civilian targets in Lviv were deliberate-- "the strategic goal of which is still unclear"

Slava Ukraini!!!

🇦🇺💙💛✌ 🇺🇦 None us can even imagine just how hard and complicated it must be for Ukraine. Mongolia is between a rock and a hard place. Right now everything "International" is being brought into question. Ukraine matters the most for all of us!

With Poo-tin's support in Russia never so weak, now is a really good time for both Two-Tier Kier and Chicken Joe to give Ukraine carte blanche as to how they use long range missiles. Because piling more pressure on Poo-tin at this particular time might just lead to him being "removed".

SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦 🙏💙💛🫡💪🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸☝️

Imagine if western countries were not coward in the beginning and Ukraine received all the support before Russia dug out the Sorrovican line... The tanks, the missiles, the jets, all were, and are, being given after it is too late. Right now, the west is still showing cowardliness for not allowing Ukraine to strike instead Russia, and just like before, they will allow at some point, but only after when it is too late 💙💛

Thank you for this video. I really love your weekly updates.

Russia is widening their advances direction Pokrovsk to protect their flanks. That is normal military doctrine. By doing this they are able to create cauldron after cauldron that forces Ukrainians to fall back. That may seem to slowdown their advance but in reality is laying a fundation for taking succesfully Pokrovsk.

Continuez à croire en votre peuple et en vos Spartiates.

Por que´ es la paz algo tan dificil de alcanzar? la respuesta está en la Biblia

WTF with the "symbolic" Kursk operation?! It's been tangible in so many important ways! Why downplay it repeating russian disinformation tropes?

To be fair, there are other heads of States who are accused of grave international crimes. Hint: if they visit Ukraine, you would not arrest them. Most States don't dare arrest heads of States as it leads to conflict, political violence and even war.

New government..? 😁😁 Zalensky the man who has no mandate anymore cant hide truth to the world.

A big NO

I guess Mongolia is no longer a signatory to the ICC. They can't have it both ways.

Ви виглядаєте досить гарно..

No it hasn't stalled , wishing otherwise wont help.

Russia stopped to prepare the seasoning and marinading for Pork Roast aka Pokrovsk.

"They [the Ukrainians] are sitting on a trillion dollars' worth of minerals that could be good to our economy. So, I want to keep helping our friends in Ukraine" ---Lindsey Graham, U.S. Senator

America didn’t arrest Netenyahu that got away with killing over 40k civilians, so why should other countries play the same game if nobody else is going to play?

Viva Putin

Kiev independant does nt seem so independant? Reshuffle came at a very strategic time :) afer when Soros son visited ukraine.. really...

Russian forces capture Nevelske in Donetsk Oblast - DeepState. Additionally, analysts noted that Russian forces have advanced in Krasnohorivka in Donetsk Oblast. According to DeepState, fighting is also ongoing north of the town of Hirnyk. DeepState reported that the Russian invasion forces had advanced in the area of Toretsk and near Vuhledar, which they are attempting to bypass from the flanks. Outgunned and outnumbered, Ukraine’s military is struggling with low morale and desertion: Dima spent years on the Ukrainian front lines. As a battalion commander, Dima was in charge of around 800 men who fought in some of the fiercest, bloodiest battles of the war - most recently near Pokrovsk, the strategic eastern town that is now on the brink of falling to Russia. But with most of his troops now dead or severely injured, Dima decided he’d had enough. He quit and took another job with the military - in an office in Kyiv. Standing outside that office, chain smoking and drinking sweet coffee, he told the news outlet he just couldn’t handle watching his men die anymore. Two and half years of Russia’s grinding offensive have decimated many Ukrainian units. Reinforcements are few and far between, leaving some soldiers exhausted and demoralized. The situation is particularly dire among infantry units near Pokrovsk and elsewhere on the eastern front line, where Ukraine is struggling to stop Russia’s creeping advances. CNN spoke to six commanders and officers who are or were until recently fighting or supervising units in the area. All six said desertion and insubordination are becoming a widespread problem, especially among newly recruited soldiers. Four of the six, including Dima, have asked for their names to be changed or withheld due to the sensitive nature of the topic and because they are not authorized to speak to the media. “Not all mobilized soldiers are leaving their positions, but the majority are. When new guys come here, they see how difficult it is. They see a lot of enemy drones, artillery and mortars,” one unit commander currently fighting in Pokrovsk told CNN. He also asked to remain anonymous. “They go to the positions once and if they survive, they never return. They either leave their positions, refuse to go into battle, or try to find a way to leave the army,” he added. Unlike those who volunteered earlier in the war, many of the new recruits didn’t have a choice in entering the conflict. They were called up after Ukraine’s new mobilization law came into force in the spring and can’t leave legally until after the government introduces demobilization, unless they get special permission to do so. Yet the discipline problems clearly began way before this. Ukraine went through an extremely difficult patch during last winter and spring. Months of delay in getting US military assistance into the country led to a critical ammunition shortage and a major slump in morale. As the battlefield situation deteriorated, an increasing number of troops started to give up. In just the first four months of 2024, prosecutors launched criminal proceedings against almost 19,000 soldiers who either abandoned their posts or deserted, according to the Ukrainian parliament. More than a million Ukrainians serve in the country’s defense and security forces, although this number includes everyone, including people working in offices far away from the front lines. It’s a staggering and - most likely - incomplete number. Several commanders told CNN that many officers would not report desertion and unauthorized absences, hoping instead to convince troops to return voluntarily, without facing punishment. This approach became so common that Ukraine changed the law to decriminalize desertion and absence without leave, if committed for the first time. Horetskyi told CNN that this move made sense. “Threats will only make things worse. A smart commander will delay threats, or even avoid them,” he said. Pokrovsk has become the epicenter of the fight for Ukraine’s east. Russian forces have been inching towards the city for months, but their advances have sped up in recent weeks as Ukrainian defenses begin to crumble. Pokrovsk has become the epicenter of the fight for Ukraine’s east. Russian forces have been inching towards the city for months, but their advances have sped up in recent weeks as Ukrainian defenses begin to crumble. Ukrainian soldiers in the area paint a grim picture of the situation. Kyiv’s forces are clearly outnumbered and outgunned, with some commanders estimating there are 10 Russian soldiers to each Ukrainian. But they also appear to be struggling with problems of their own making. An officer from a brigade fighting in Pokrovsk, who asked for their name to be withheld for security reasons, told CNN that poor communication between different units is a major issue there. One battalion commander in northern Donetsk said his flank was recently left exposed to Russian attacks after soldiers from neighboring units abandoned their positions without reporting it.

Are you winning yet?

Thanks Anna. Thanks Kyiv Independent. Slava Ukraini !!

Thank you Anna.

One of your best, thank you.

The Mongolian goverment has been offering sancuary to Siberian conscripts. I assume that they understand arresting Putin would simply substitute one myopic russian with another russian. Mongolia plays a long game where parts of Siberia may become an independant state.

Good morning thanks for your excellent updates. God Bless All Ukraine Citizens And Military Serving In Your Great Nation 🙏❤️ Lest We Forget

Sensible, sober reporting/journalism... Slava Ukraini!!

❤Love your format Anna❤

If I was Mongolia with a huge border with Russia I wouldn't arrest Putin. Doesn't matter what International Agreement you signed you still don't do it.

Unfortunately Ukraine is not alone. The Palestinians and many in the Middle East and colonial times have been suffering for decades. In reality, so called "rule-based order" and even "UN order" do not apply to any one of superpowers, regardless of US or Russia.

🇷🇺Russia already won💪💪💪
