Ukraine's mobilisation drive: how is Kyiv finding the people to fight? Ukraine: The Latest, Podcast 

I agree 💯 guys. Ukraine's allies should at the very least be helping defend Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇦🇺

the mobilisation delay was entirely due to exemptions - there is no way MPs of the Rada would send their own family to the frontline ?

Russian material shortages are just stop gap measures taken to keep momentum due to extensive training and build up of larger forces they will deploy later. Everyone will be caught off guard and Ukraine will be overrun.

In Australia in the 70's we had ballotted conscription for 2 years ( Possibly ending up in Vietnam). Many boys opted to sign up for the CMF(Reserve) for 3 years, rather than take the chance of being conscripted for 2 years with the possiility of being sent to war.

Great episode, as always!

Francis. On the subject of seizing foreign investments made by Russia, I seem to recall that Russia did something similar to our assets after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Russian industrialisation had been achieved prior to WW1 by huge loans from France and Britain in particular, and the Bolsheviks never paid any of it back.

BACK TO THE FRONT!

Excellent, informative episode. Great to hear Svitlana. From Italy.

Absolutely, Dom... Radar prices will go up and therefore affect global inflation, most especially in USA !

Its getting harder and harder to keep a positive narrative if routing for the Ukrainians 😂

There’ll be no one left to go circus or watch TV

Svetlana certainly delivered some bad news. The level of honesty is admirable. The conscription bill probably passed too late to get new conscripts trained and to the front before the Russian summer offensive. Ukraine has too few soldiers to defend everywhere. The soldiers at the front have largely been there since at least early 2022 with no hope of rotating out. Morale is at a low ebb. Ukraine is low on artillery shells as well. I'm 100% in support of Ukraine. The stoppage of military aid from my country, the USA makes me furious at the MAGAs causing it and sad for what it might cost Ukraine. I'm not going to predict anything too bad. Russia has been incompetent militarily so hopefully, even if they break through in places this summer, they won't be able to exploit the breakthrough as well as a more competent force might. Ukraine has interior lines and will probably have to form a mobile rapid response force on a divisional scale to move to blunt breakthroughs. That kind of thing might even allow for a Russian breakthrough to be cutoff and wiped out. Also, hopefully Ukraine will have enough artillery shells by then to punish Russian assaults. It is probably going to be a difficult summer that will be studied by militaries around the world for generations to come. I still believe Ukraine will win this war, even if it is unlikely that summer 2024 will go well. Maybe Ukraine can inflict grievous losses on the Russians, or maybe drones will limit the Russians ability to attack even with a numbers advantage. If I was a younger man and wasn't my elderly mother's main care taker, I'd like to think I'd be in Ukraine now, doing what little I could to help.

It sounds like no new soldiers until August. Wow.

This very nice woman waiting patiently as these dudes talk about shoes and tweed jackets lol

MiG-31I fighter jets have been upgraded and received an air refueling system to increase the combat radius, a defense industry source told TASS. "MiG-31I fighters of the Russian long-range aviation received a possibility to refuel in the air and increased the combat engagement distance," the source said. Another source said MiG-31I differs from previous MiG-K option by "different engines, avionics and missiles." TASS has no official confirmation of the report. The Izvestia daily earlier said MiG-31I will be able to refuel in the air. The fighter has electronic systems that increase the flight characteristics and capabilities. The jet is equipped with an electronic remote control system and onboard computers that automatically bring the jet into the required trajectory and fire a hypersonic missile at the calculated time.

Most-searched term in Google in Ukrainian this week " how to cross river into Romania"

42:14 How bloody disappointing! 🤬

A disjointed podcast where Dom stated in a 'tactical deep dive' that Russian forces 'not capable to amass more then 100 men' due to 'manpower isses' but 5 minutes later quoting Ukrainian sources saying this exact sizing limit in the RF is due to having to avoid heavy enemy ISR. Which is it? He also said RF are facing morale issues "since being pushed back by Ukraine" but when was that last true? And what Francis omitted was that if 230B of Russian frozen funds are spent, Russia will smash away at Ukraine even more to keep increasing the cost to the West.

Why isn't the UK giving a lot more?

Yeah, we’re noticing the contradictions. Dom desperately clings to the claim of human wave attacks with more and more convoluted rationalizations. He apparently believes the change in tactics has nothing to do with lessons learned, but an inability to raise enough men to carry out their preferred ‘have a full division rise up out of the trench and run forward’. Morale may indeed be low, but so is that of the Ukrainians, as is related by the guest. No Ukrainian wants to go to the Ostfront to face an enemy that just comes on and on and on, aided by a hail of artillery and FABs. The pod today was a combo of winging it and shaming by the regulars, followed by a sharply contrasting sobriety from the guest.

Another great pod cast

Very funny, as always

Brilliant journalisme, bringing updated insights in the best possible way. Thanks!

Why after such a great loss when practicing D day did America launch their tanks from 4 kilometres out?? Losing most of them. The British launched from much closer in. Nothing worse then lessons not learnt, especially when so many lives were lost.RIP.

This show is hilarious! Pure comedy.

Those comments certainly make it clear

Wait....they're saying they can't shoot down Russian missiles since they're not in direct armed conflict with Russia? But they're not in direct armed conflict with Iran!

😅those radio waves!

"Moscow Marjorie" ...she's a joke 🤣🤣

12:00 how exactly how are there huge human wave assaults also in smaller groupings?

I am disgusted with US congress

Azov refused the order to go to Chasiv Yar. The End is near...

Alternative reality by a long shot…

Without barrier troops the Russian troops would be attacking the Kremlin

Accept this fact: Ukraine has mobilized over 1.5 million soldiers. Fallen soldiers exceed 400,000. Soldiers who have lost combat capability but not died 150,000. Soldiers captured by Russia 50,000. Russia has mobilized a total of 850,000 soldiers. 550,000 are engaged in combat on Ukrainian territory. 180,000 are stationed within Russia's borders. Fallen soldiers 60,000. Soldiers who have lost combat capability total 20,000. Those captured by Ukraine amount to 5,000. = Only this scenario makes sense and is consistent with the reality currently being discovered: 1Ukraine faces significant difficulties in conscription. 2Ukrainian frontlines are continually retreating, and the retreat is accelerating. = According to Ukrainian reports, Russia has suffered 450,000 casualties, while Zelensky claims Ukraine has lost 30,000 soldiers. If the situation is indeed as Ukraine and Zelensky describe, then Russia should have already withdrawn completely from Ukrainian territory. Simultaneously, it should have lost control of the Belgorod Oblast.

To listen to the government officials on why they can shoot down Iran missiles and not the Russian missiles over Ukraine just makes me sick and depressed. It is further evidence that these countries are not yet committed to Ukrainian victory. It is so sad!

Sooner or later the coffee boy Mike Johnson will vote for the packet for ukraine!,,

Slovaks collected 1 million euros to join the Czech ammunition initiative though the Slovak government refused to take part.

So tell us what was hit? Civilian Infrastructure? What about the military casualties?

Everything is going well... We keep thinking.... Hilarious. Slava Ukraini. Just FABulous.

I didn't realise the Russian and pro-Russian Ukrainians had such low morale - that's a load off.

Sounds like a tailor made bespoke recruitment campagn which has an ecellent recruitment positive rate ++

I see oil has moved down $2 today so that should mean another 10% of russian oil refinery capacity can be taken down without any worries

When will this European aid get to the front line

That’s a good idea. To have an allegiance. Good for CV?

The Americans make the right choice, Eventually. Ukraine will get the support they need.

Ukraine: the latest...propaganda. ie, Ukraine can still win!😁

Great episode from an AMERICAN Veteran from Iraq that i worked with some Brits ! Missed the Accents BUT then I thought about it. “I have the accent”🤔🙄🤯🫡🇺🇸

Chernihiv is at the border with Belarus mostly, and partly with russia

This could of been over a long time ago if Ukraine wasn't so corrupt and selling alot of what we give to the black market.

It’s not all gloom then

The 'foreign agents bill' must be opposed in Georgia. If it is implemented the clandestine influence and meddling of the US and UK in Georgian politics would be obvious to all.

Funny France's of unicorn, fails to mention the very same law that Georgia is passing the EU has Britain has in the US. At like normal it's a shitshow at the telegraph

💙Slava ukraini 💛 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Cheeky comments tonight....motor bike's ain't it..😂😂😂

Great podcast,thanks.

it's all over for Ukraine... time to save lives, not pride ?

The US has a foreign agent registration law.

Mannequin Mike Johnson is to moved to a shop display in Moscow this should suit his skill set. Just dreaming…..

LORD HELP UKRAINE , PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comedy Gold LMFAO 🤔🤨🧐😃😂🤪🤣😺

Fantastic lies. Amazing

อย่าปล่อยให้คอมมิวนิสต์ชนะเดียวโลกหมุนไปอยู่ฝ่ายคอมมิวนิสต์เยอะขึ้นมันจะบำบากโลกเสรีมากขึ้นนะ

Ps, Translensky 👠💄 is done. Get over it. GO PUTIN 💪💪🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

Assets are safe just don't invade another country

But can the EU countries provide a no-fly zone over Odesa, Lviv, Kyiv, French Troops on Belarus border?

How has this video got 270 views but 800 likes?

Hey liberals... Your cat needs a walk 🤠

We have seen evidence of that??? Show us the evidence then.

Excellent as always! Love and appreciation from 🇮🇱!

Ukraineans are treated as cannon fooder.. It is a shame. This happens when people deny their roots.. Their roots are RUS TRIBE. Russia gave them a country and they made it battle field and plantation for their masters the colonialist Occidentals.

Neocon war propaganda.

Is this the NATO cope hangout channel when they lose to a broken Russia and can't find enough excuses for their loss ?

А хто зараз хоче гинути на фронті?Українці демотивоаані зачиненими кордонами в Україні та відміна прав людини. Люди не хочуть на війну, отже хочуть припинення війни. Миру Україніі🇺🇦Бо Якщо ви не погоджуєтеся з припиненням війни маєте йти на фронт гинути.

Make Ukraine Russia again!

Is this the soundtrack to a modern version of the radio play George Orwell 1984???

UA winning? 😂

Svetlana is for easy pickings. Not the words from a true patriot. I'm sorry.

This would not have happened if Ukraine accepted the reality that it was more relevant to Russia than it was to the US, in a same way the Afghanistan was more relevant to Taliban than to American voters. Ukraine was brave. Finland was smart. Ukraine’s politicians don’t have much choice now. To accept a peace treaty on Russian terms is to admit that they are accepting a deal that is worse than what they could have gotten before the war or at it’s beginning, having wasted thousands of Ukrainian lives. God help Ukraine

Ukraine is losing. Stop the war.

😂😂

Lost cause,

The situation in Ukraine and the situation in Israel are identical - a foreign aggressor is killing civilians. Perhaps Iraeli deaths are more significant than Ukranian deaths? Are Russian war crimes more acceptable than Iranian war crimes?

Nato assisted Ukraine attacked Dzhankoy and Russia made Nato pay for it in Chernihiv.

Ukraine as a nation is finished, its demographic collapse in of itself ensures this.

Well as an American thought there would be peace deal already why so much lives please work something out surrender some land stop this please.

Ukraine needs Soylent Green trucks for recruiting.

Our Navy cannot defend Ukraine. That is such a stupid canard to compare Israel and Ukraine

Excuses given by the west on their reasoning for their level of support of Israel's air defence vs Ukraines are at best "lame duck". I feel embarrassed,no shameful, of being a citizen of a country who's leaders seem to almost condone one country's murder of 30k innocents and give them all they need for defence against reprisals while offering insufficient to another who's citizens are being terrorised every night. These double standards are not acceptable

OMG that accent! Holy crap what a beautiful voice.

The mobilisation is facilitated by the use of pressgangs, which has been going on for 18 months or more. Has Dom go any intel on the Ukrainian surrender that is about to happen?

*MORE BRITISH BULLSHIT, PER USUAL....SMH*
