The bleak situation for wounded soldiers on the front lines I Ukraine: The Latest, podcast 

One thing that stuck with me is how derided the M113 is in western armies, yet Ukrainians have found it to be exceptional. While there are many weapon systems Western armies are running low on, they have thousands of these things they could give. And that's not even talking about the thousands of M1 Abrams and M2 Bradleys, many of which are considered obsolete just sitting in storage :/

"Its no great loss" says Dom on Francis being off 😂 love it. Your awesome Francis.

No Dom, we don't have the luxury of waiting a generation for World War III; our opponents have already told us what their intentions truly are. This one is upon us, and we must act.

Just listening to the tremble in her voice, it made me cry

The mendacity of American politicians cannot be overstated.

Listening from Montana. From my perspective, there was ZERO chance of lethal foreign aid (for any country or interest) passing prior to Iran's attempted strike on Israel. Democracy is what it is so it's silly for journalists / commentators to rail against those politicians who act in ways they don't agree with. Politics in the U.S. was divisive and counter productive long before Russia invaded Ukraine - expecting politicians to act in unison in order to "do the right thing" in support of foreign interests has no precedent in any democracy that I am aware of.

Thanks for your information Glory and Freedom to Ukraine 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦✌️🙏

I can’t stand this. It’s too little too late. As she says there are too many issues coming together 😔

💙Slava ukraini 💛

It’s always the way that we get going when the enemy is at the door. Sort of

🇺🇦❤🇺🇦❤🇺🇦❤🇬🇧💪👍

If US citizens actually believe those 2 sources than something is wrong with everyday people's common sense.. completely ridiculous

Can America not find a way to equip a vehicle with anti drone lasers that could be used as an ambulance?

Saying that they will not let someone gives the impression that they have escalatory dominance this only happens in the media nowhere in reality.

I have been absent from 'Ukraine: The Latest' in the last few weeks -.Hearing your voices again, confirmes, I have missed U guys What U do 4 Ukraine, U do good. I am sad 2 tell U, that U can not stop, .. we are on 4 the duration Let's hope that we can properly support our friends this time, it seems brighter times are ahead, I hope I hope ❤❤

Why, exactly, do we, the USA, have "global responsibilities"?????

How can Ukraine have the ability to shoot down a bomber in Russian Airspace when no other country in the world has such ability? I know the country needs some good news, yet, this is not it . Please be truthful.

Beside the word weasel in the dictionary is a photo of Mike Johnson.

❤Ukrainian ❤

PNAC PROXY PUPPETS PNAC PROXY WAR

Thanks for your great reporting.

"Ofc David, it's no great loss." lol Dom.

Can't Victoria Nuland do a bank transfer? US full of empty promises.

Draft Dodgers in The EU

Great insight as usual. 👍 Listening from Slovakia ❤

37:42 I really don’t know how Johnson managed to say all that without his nose growing one foot long!! Has the man been in a coma for the last 6 months? The blood on his hands will not wash out so easily 😡

But why would a Country that has no ammunitions continue to fight when discussing peace costs nothing...😂😂😂

urgh thanks for saying this out loud. I've been seeing so much praise suddenly about Johnson, how he is so brave etc... when he's been holding up the vote since forever! But now suddenly he's the hero? GTFO.

The delays and excuses are sickening. Those states have blood on their hands.

Mike Johnson is a politician. Also being talked down to by a person with a posh British accent does not go down well with Americans. Europe has 60 billion if it wants to. As for the Ukrainian woman one could hear the emotion and desperation in her voice. In such a situation any normal person will feel for her.

The gathering of losers happens right here. Hope is a hell of a drug.

two days of 'much bleakness'... are we ready to take the hint ?

31:10

Your quotes from OPCW indicate that there is no hard evidence and that they have not even been asked to investigate the chemical allegations. But your presenter blithely comments that there are probably more victims than the hundreds that Ukraine claims. What does he base that on ?

The Patriot Pac3 costs from 4 to 6 million PER SHOT. I wonder how selective the Ukrainian's have been about using them.

Unbelievable. Does Mike Johnson REALLY think we Americans, along with our allies, believe a word of what he said about Ukraine aid? What a liar! What's his excuse for waiting so long? Disgusting

‘’The bleak situation for wounded soldiers on the front lines’’ Sign Me up! LMFAO Erm, just joking. Great recruiting ad bro.😂 Comedy Gold, never disappoints 😂🤣😜

The U.S. and the EU are concerned that Russian forces may punch through Ukrainian defensive lines in the coming weeks, people familiar with the matter have told Bloomberg. Russian troops are continuing to advance thanks to an advantage in ammunition, the agency acknowledged in an article on Thursday. At the same time, Ukrainian forces “struggle because of delays in U.S. and European military aid and personnel shortages,” it added. Ukraine also faces daily Russian missile, drone and bomb attacks that are knocking out key energy infrastructure and striking military positions, due to its lack of air defenses, according to Bloomberg. Because of this, “concerns are mounting that Russia may make major gains in the coming weeks by punching through overstretched Ukrainian lines,” sources in the U.S. and Europe told the agency. Russian precision strikes give no rest to the Ukrainian military in rear regions. The exhausted Ukrainian air defense can no longer effectively repel the constant combined strikes. Despite Kiev’s attempts to blame the Russians for attacks on civilian facilities, the truth is more and more difficult to hide. On the night of April 18, new wave of Russian strikes hit Ukrainian military and energy facilities in the Kharkiv and Kiev regions. Explosions were reported in the town of Vishgorod not far from the Ukrainian capital. The target of the attack is yet to be revealed; but the town hosts a large pumped hydroelectric energy storage facility. While Kiev is threatening Russia with the continuation of ground operations in the border regions, Russian forces are pounding Ukrainian military facilities in the border Kharkiv and Sumy regions. Last night, Russian strikes on Ukrainian manpower and equipment thwarted plans of Ukrainian assault groups to launch attacks in the Russian Belgorod region. According to local reports, Russian drones and missiles reached targets in the western Ukrainian regions. A military airfield in the Ivano-Frankivsk region reportedly came under attack. The facility served as a reserve airfield for the Ukrainian Air Force. During the massive Russian strikes, Ukrainian aircraft are moving there from the neighboring regions. It is also used for repair of military aircraft. More strikes were reported in the city of Ivano-Frankivsk itself, where a point of temporary military deployment and an ammo depot were destroyed. Another military airfield struck last night was reportedly the notorious Starokonstantinov in the Khmelnitsk region, which is targeted on a regular basis to prevent the deployment of NATO F-16 fighters there. Russian attacks in the Ukrainian rear continue around the clock. On April 17, Russian missiles inflicted heavy losses on the Ukrainian military, accommodated in a hotel in Chernihiv. Another strike destroyed a lot of Ukrainian servicemen hiding in a school in Konstantinovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic.

there's no point fighting against a stronger enemy.... oh wait a minute, its good for private companies like Vanguard, Blackrock, Bae Systems, GKN, Thales etc. Buy shares and prosper

Money does not buy combat capable manpower.

The Telegraph criticizing others for not denouncing over reliance on the us early enough is the type of typical british hypocritical snobbery i tune regularly in for

SLAVA ROSIJA ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Pity the poor Ukrainian conscript stuck in the trenches. As your guest on the podcast said a couple of days ago, they are likely to be working class & from rustic communities. They were promised demobilisation if they had served for a long period, but now that glimmer of hope has been cruely snatched away. They will not be benefitting from the money that will be sent from the US Congress to Kiev. The poor blighters are expected to fight to the last man. Any one of them has more courage in their little finger than the much celebrated & well rewarded Ukrainian President & his inner circle. The world is not fair.

We can all be saviours of freedom and contribute to containing Russia. For example, by donating to Ukraine24 which funds drone programmes.

Now that the aid bill has been passed Zelenskyy can keep building his billionaire bank account and his mates can buy nore €2.5 million mansions in Italy and Spain or get caught trying to enter Poland carrying millions in their car again. I'm sure the struggling US tax payers will be happy they are funding their lavish lifestyles.

Ukraine is losing. Stop the war.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday that the peace formula presented earlier by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is unacceptable for Moscow and stressed that it should be disregarded. In an interview with Sputnik, Komsomolskaya Pravda and Govorit Moskva, Lavrov emphasized that Russia does not trust Ukraine's regime regarding peace negotiations, stressing that it is necessary to begin discussing the principles of an agreement on which Moscow is willing to negotiate. However, the minister ensured that negotiations are always the preferred path. "As [Russian] President [Vladimir Putin] constantly reminds us, we always prefer negotiations to fights and wars," he concluded.

😂😂😂😂 Propaganda deluxe 😂😂😂😂

Zelensky is an embarrassment to the people of Ukraine. No more money and handouts to Ukraine. Glory to Russia and may peace prevail 🇷🇺 🇺🇲
