Finally, a NATO Ex-General who is a Realist with a common sense, unlike some retired British & US generals on mainstream cable news.

For NATO, the fact that Ukrane can't win is irrelevant. The purpose of this war is not at all winning, rather it is using Ukraine as a means of waging a war against Russia. Therefore the assertion that NATO must negotiate is not a pragmatic or practical one; it is merely an ethical statement. Ethics have not played much of a role for NATO so far.

How refreshing to hear an objective adult - versus all the propagandists on both sides of the war.

excellent interview, a general who knows about WAR, and journalist who knows how to ask the right questions.

General Kujat has been raising his voice and criticizing what is happening in Ukraine for a long time. So did other Bundeswehr officers. He was the highest-ranking non-US general in NATO. To accuse him of anything biased is absurd. His job was military analysis. However, he has no interest in Germany pursuing its policies through the USA and the Eastern European states at Germany's expense.

Ukranians treating civilians with care???? Sure, when they shell Dombas, when they send drones to Russia, their targets are military - total BS!!!

Finally some truth for the Europeans to hear.

"We missed this opportunity" ... not the first time a German has said this. They are on a hat trick.

As always, like in Vietnam, Afghanistan the American hagemonic arrogance leadership will always abandon Ukraine at the time of most expectations of Zelensky aspiration.

Thank you so much, General, for speaking the truth! 🙌 Maximum respect!!! 🫡

There was a neutral zone between NATO and Russia. It was Ukraine. Why on earth did NATO decide to move eastwards?

Unnecessary loss of lives..for exactly what ? And for whom ?

Excellent guest and fantastic translation for non German speakers.

It was clear since February 2022 that Ukraine cannot defeat Russia. Should NATO negotiate? Why, what interference does NATO have in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine? Why does NATO want to expand to Russia's borders, thus causing a nuclear conflict?

A voice of reason! FINALLY!

Truth talk feels like drinking when thirsty! Thank you both for keeping us on the straight and narrow

President Putin's career in the KGB of the Soviet Union taught him that the Soviet Union was a Russian empire run at a financial and cultural loss for Russia. He has learned his lesson, demonstrated in Ukraine where Russia is not doing anything but securing the areas of Russian speakers, who were massacred from the day of the US instigated colour revolution. The only basis we have for fearing a Russian expansionist policy is our western media ,which used to serve us well as the fourth estate. Now the media have become 100% corrupted, and not only the citizens but also the politicians relate to the "news" from the media as if they were true, but in effect only amount to economic and political power. The former free world has become a tyranny of opinions and it is heading for the total destruction of humanity.

Someone talking sense , Ukraine can’t win ! Stop the fighting and save some lives ………….

What a fine and sensible man. Knowledgeable and restrained. The complete opposite of the hysterical voices coming from the west.

German taxpayers don’t want war,, But some reason German politicians don’t want peace 😢

I am a Canadian (also Slovakian) and I LOVE your channel. I love your work! Brilliant!

Wow. Very sincere talk. Great! Love it.

Its high time to negotiate, safe lots of lives.....and start rebuilding Ukraine..........

Great talk Pascal Gen. Kujat is one of the finest sources on these events

The biggest mistake of those who wants to make Ukraine a "forever war" is thinking that you can just establish such a status onto the conflict. The mistake lies in assumption that it is for the West of for USA to decide. Hard cold reality is, that this conflict will end only when russians will say "we're done here", and that's the only voice that matters.

General Kujat never disappoint me.

Thanks very much Pascal for bringing this to our attention.

excellent analysis. I very much enjoyed the program. It's a pity more nato-bloc citizens are ignorant to the truths involving the ukraine political crisis.

It’s fascinating to hear from a realist German General. Thanks for bringing it to YT!

This blew my mind. What a deep, detailed, knowledgeable, first-hand, thoughtful confirmation of everything that has been excluded from European and US media for many years now, and especially the last two and a half.

This conflict has been caused entirely by US and NATO poking the Bear who has signed an Art 5 agreement with Panda.

The Russians will never loose what war so ever. They love their leader, is there a western leader that cares about his citizens, i do not think so.

What a " rara avis" , an intelligent NATO general!

You forgetting that this was created by usa by overthrowing govermnet in Ukraine and moving into nato presence there.

Excellent interview so intelligent and informed and an ex Nato General talking sense.

Thanks for sharing the interview and the technology which allows English only speakers to hear the thoughts of those who chose to speak in other languages, German in this case.

Very interesting interview, thank you for shearing it!

When putin finally sits down and has a plate of chicken kiev theyll come to the negotiation tables. Theyr untouched exactly like washington and whitehall.

This was a brilliant discussion!!! Thanks Pascal!👍

I saw a conference by this German general on another RU-vid channel and I was really worried. I imagined that NATO was full of racist maniacs who absolutely hate Russia, because this is a predictable toxic mixture originating from the anti-Soviet and even Nazi legacy that characterized the mentality of this military organization since it was created and throughout the Cold War. But I became really alarmed by the total lack of responsibility and care of today's NATO commanders when I realized that they would actually rather see their world incinerated and devastated by nuclear bombs just so they can say from a bunker that Russia was also crippled and destroyed by Western atomic bombs. This is far more insane than the balance of terror guaranteed by mutually assured destruction. This is a guarantee of unnecessary mutual destruction because of the insanity of NATO's claim to absorb Nazi Ukraine.

excellent analysis should be the basis to bring peace.

Thank you Pascal, excellent interview.

This guy was not just a general, he was the highest ranking officer in all of the german military. His words carry a lot weight. Here in the USA, the generals are too content with profiting from their Raytheon stocks to stand up against this bloodbath.

Make it stop

Why is Scholz so ineffective and willing to do the biding of the US military complex?

If I were Russia, I would not accept NATO as an unbiased arbitrator. NATO's actions created the conditions which caused the conflict. Lie to me once, and I won't give you a second opportunity.

Excellent interview. Yes, now it's clear Russia only wants to create a buffer zone. 🌺🙏-bmd

What a great job you do Pascal! Everything you provide us with is exquisite quality!

NATO caused all of this, and your answer is to have more of NATO involvement? 😮

The former general wants negotiations with Russia just to avoid being defeated by Russia without solving the Russian concerns about its natoonal security. Therefore Russia will never accept negotiations that do not take account of Russia national security concerns.

The way I heard Putin, " your gig is up. If you want to get out of this mess with some dignity, the time to negotiate is NOW"

Thankfully the brief age of US hegemony is in the final stages. I have far more faith in other countries not getting things so badly wrong.

We dont want war!

Thanks so much for providing and translation of this interesting interview. 🙏

Great… but still no comment on the infamous pipeline? Why not?

yes. peace. no war. negotiate pleace

He is still German but no longer in active duty!

Great interview.

The best information and interviews I ever Heard he’s telling the truth

Genauso wie Sie sagen, Herr General !

Great interview I appreciate General for his insight.

Greetings from Australia

Ukraine is conducting speculative fire on populated urban centres and has done so since 2014. This is not 'restraint' it is simply unreported. Ukraine are known to expend critical munitions such as HIMARS, even in dire shortages, on this sort of attack. The vast majority of Donbass attacks and all the Belgorod attacks using artillery of this type. This is not unrestrained. Both sides are conducting a primary political war: the RF is narrowly keeping within its stated war goals of protecting Donbass (after it's failed attempt to 'bounce' the Ukrainians to peace negotiations) and conducting a limited war* with clear exit plans. The Ukrainians are fighting an ideological war against Russians and this dovetails neatly with US desires. *This ideological war is in no way restrained* *This is why all western reports universally say 'all-out attack' when describing Russian military operations; they don't want these limited goals recognised.

This retired general talks a lot more sense and is more intelligent than Scholz. Perhaps he could run for the Chancellor's position?

Thanks Pascal, a very informative interview. Core to ones understanding of this conflict.

The German general is two years late. Erwin Rommel would have spoken out a long time ago.

I don’t know where to start in response to this interview. So I’ll just leave it at a hearty thanks for sharing it, and this man’s knowledge and wisdom. The peace of the world enshrined in the constitution? We should all have such a clause. Oh and I loved the appearance of the doggie.

ZoZolensky will not agree to any negotiation.

Brilliant!! Thank you so much.

Thank dear General! If ever someone spoke a more sombre word, or sober word, yes we need level heads this time! It seems the time has come for all parties to put their cards on the table, for everyone to swallow their pride and listen to each other, and hear what the people are saying! They want PEACE!

One cannot consider Zelensky a "top military commander". What training does he have? Has he even served in the military? Zelensky does what the US, and lead vassal the UK, tells him. Mariupol was Zelensky's Stalingrad moment. There was a time to successfully retreat, but in both cases that critical moment was missed because inexperienced people made the wrong decisions.

Finally I note, no one talks about Ukraine raining down missiles, drones and (where they can) artillery on to civilian targets … all the time?

A politician making tactical decisions rather than a career army officer trained in war. That's a war that is fought for other purposes than for winning the war, which seems to be the case.

Good relevant, interesting questions. A very good programme. Thank you.

Very candid interview. Very factual and also fair assessments. Wonderful interview. I find the truth the General speaks indeed very refreshing.

It's so sad because all the death could have been avoided if only the US would leave other countries alone. Our infrastructure sucks, our schools suck, and our healthcare sucks. Homelessness, crime, unaffordable housing. Flint, Michigan still after 10 years doesn't have clean water, no one held responsible. Don't think the Lehaina fire victims have ever received real help. It's all about taking what other countries have as if it belongs to us. No diplomacy for peace or building true relationships not based on bribes or scratching each others backs.

Russia has the backing and support of its people which is confirmed by voters to protect and defend by all means

The problem for the current Kiev regime, is that negotiations with Russia, will also be a catastrophic defeat. They would have to surrender things that would keep some version of Ukraine alive - but would put all of them in Jail.

Thank you for posting this!

If I was to ever speak to a German military person I’d ask them what happened in 1918 with the German Navy Mutiny which spread to the population and let to the formation of the Weimar Republic and Armistice. I’ve only heard what was taught in U.K. classrooms. It was a while ago so it should be reasonably neutral but I still expect he would have a different opinion. Just seen video of the strike on the motorway north of Odessa. Can’t be far off the point when they get rid of Kaiser Zelensky and form a new republic.

hah, he missed the train by at least couple months on that one. only thing to negotiate about now is exact form and timeline of capitulation - sure, it would save ukrainin lives, but the empire does not care about that in the slightest, so he is just throwing words in the wind

I doubt that Zensky made any of the calls himself... nothing on the side of Ukraine happens without N4t0 being envolved

The Swiss have never argued they just sit on the fence and do nothing. No opinion required please

Stunning Stunning realism from this General. No equals. Rest are basically running speculative talks

Just imagine a German that is not a warmonguer!!! amazing!

"Russia cannot threaten the United States position as a world power". Really? This is the same type of assertion that was made by Prof. Mearsheimer in his famous book! China depends on Russia's military might to fence off the United States.

What an great Interview I watched today! The German General is admire me of his Knowledge and ideas in military and political views, also the inter viewer is throwing great questions. well done. god bless these gentlemen for long healthier life.and give us good interviews like this.

Fascinating interview

This is the voice of Germany that I respected from my memory. Not the farce of today,

Thank you Pascal for sharing with us such important and informative conversations
