Zelensky's options: How does Ukraine meet the challenge of another year of war? • FRANCE 24 

The comedian Sicklensky is under pressure. His masters ordered him to get into fight with Russia with false assumption that Russians are incapable of wining the war because they still using weapons from soviet era, blá, blá, blá, blá. But, it seems that the Russian "shovels" are bringing miracles to them, 😂😂😂😂😂

Why do they call it a debate, if they all have the same views? Invite at least one Russian.

I repeat, you can never win a war with borrowed weapons 😊

Are these two guests trying to ridicule each other by agreeing and echoing ridiculous statements? I found that lame.

Putin is very worried! (because she said so)😊

How is this in anyway a debate-if the entire experts are agreeing with each other? This is merely a beer parlour discussion.

FACTS: 1. This war is between two neighbors. All else are the instigators. 2. No choosing thy neighbor on the global. Better negotiate and learn to live next to each other.

Are these guests not tired of talking crazy? My head hurts listening to these denials and fantastical notions. Say it long enough it might prove true or become the dearth of you.

I love this show, but this was a joke of a conversation. Everybody was literally saying the same thing. There was no debate at all. All the points they offered were ridiculously impossible points that no rational person thinks about. What a stupid show this was.

"Ukraine's summer offensive 'stalled'". More like failed miserably.

Why are you not inviting someone who has a different view. This is not a debate. This is just one sided talk. Also the anchor is not asking any realistic challenging questions

They call this a debate but its just western talking points .

Hey u guy talk about reelection in Russia why u don’t talk about re-election in Ukraine Ukraine now no more Democratic country anymore zerlensky now he is a dictator cretisize him some come on

Right. It was literally no disagreements at all. It was basically one person saying the same thing with four different human beings. How is that a debate. Hence why Ukraine will lose when everybody who supports them seem to be very delusional I guess they all believe that they will be in Crimea on the beach in six months

31.000 means 310.000.

Just one side opinion 😂

This lady seems Angry 😂

The lady's argument do not seem to have any strong basis to back her reasoning as what the French guy is saying. She is just talking really fast and with an angry tone to it.

It's pretty messed up how the US encouraged Zelensky into fighting Russia just to leave him hanging in the end smh.

there is also 1 option for zelensky he needs to surrender

without Maidan, there is NO WAR at all

Is this a debate or talk show ?

The setback? NATO would not even think of starting an offensive without air cover

The late Henry Kissinger said. “To be an enemy of America is dangerous, to be a friend is fatal” ! South Vietnam, Iran and Afghanistan are examples.

The other day the Foreign Minister of Poland said that EU would deliver Ukraine 850,000 shells out of 1,000,000. It seems Ukraine is exaggarating their plight in an attempt to get US support. Ukraine often does seem ingrateful to Europe for sure.

You say Russia is only a war and oil country, but you have 21, 150 sanctions on them at the same time. 😅

Imagine fighting a war when you cant make your own weapons or pay your own military

Zelensky option?????surrender !!!!!!!!

You talking about if the weapons is there ,so can you tell me where are the 97% of weapons delivered by nato for the counter offensive, and I guess you know the result of tge counter offensive with all the tanks. Air defence, storm shadow, iris,himars ,French misile list goes on .

I have to recommend this channel. These guests are trying so hard to remain unbiased, especially that lovely lady

Anton Koslov, you statement that Russia will run out of money is cynical.

What I get from watching this debate is that European Nato members should prepare for a future without US support. And planning for this scenario is actually a thing. «Buy European arms!». We should see Nato as a bigger « framework» to work within. Countries who share the same core values should work close to protect those values.

Why is this show called the “ debate “ there’s no debate or different perspectives on this conflict jus one sided views

Start Peace talks and give up some land. No more money from the American taxpayers.

A half million man army, that suffered total wipe outs of some units all the while during a two-year war, and suffering '30,000' troop losses, as submitted by the lady, is quite a Rubik to puzzle out

It amazes me that they still count on the US military support. You have to know by now Americans, the voters, don't support war spending anymore?

Debates should speaks both sides

there is a huge difference between 'you're winning' and ' you think you're winning'.

Unspeakably painful to hear major news organizations push Russian talking points, urging that Ukraine should surrender as the sacrificial lamb so that Western Corporations can return to their Russian business as usual ...Status Quo.

Why did Ukraine walk away from Istanbul April 2022. Sooner or later Selenski has to answer this question. Why did he chose war over peace ?

I think in these kinds of debates it will be better to get people with alternative opinion. Like John Meersheimer. They only it can be called a debate or it’s just an echo chamber of anti Russian opinion.

The Russians probably told the Pollocks that a Russian flag would prevent COVID-19.

All odds are against Russian defeat..So I fail to understand the motive behind Ukraine fighting Russia. It will either be a draw or win for Russia...There is no way Ukraine can beat Russia... Russia plays in the league of America and China. It's insane to think that Cuba can beat America in a war or that Taiwan can beat China in a war.

Lesson no2 never trust promises done while they are excited... never expect them to give you free except when they are samples😂😂😂

Do you think nalvany was popular in Russia? The man that all of Russia’s enemies held up as a hero? You must be joking.

Short memory: Only people in Europe that experienced war in the last three centuries are from former Yugoslavia states, further east from Georgia, Tchetchenia (Dagestan?) and now Ukraine and Russia. France and GB (Turkey) mingled in Libya. France intervened in Mali and 1-2 african countries during internal unrests. Many european countries send troops to Afghanistan (Germany, Denmark, Netherlands?,Georgia, Ukraine?, GB, Italy and others) and Iraq for sure GB. I don’t know about the UN contingents sent by european countries in war zones. Turkey was a EU aspirant and has continuously fighting the kurds in Iraq and Syria. It depends on your age how many wars in Europe You remember ;)

He will be run off in disgrace. He will spend the rest of his life spending US tax money on warm beaches

Get companies to turn tanks instead of twinkies I think she said 😅…pipe dream at this time

The casualty figures was 310,000 not 31,000. Clawnzensky miss count.

Why nato never want to let Russia into nato ? Smh 🤦🏿‍♂️

The Ukrainian Defence Minister was speaking English, why was he dubbed over in English?

Why doesn't anybody ask Victoria Noland some hard questions?

A better solution for Europe might be to come to a strategic agreement with Russia. These twits are talking as if conflict is the only option.

The only option is the peace talk, the jeuish clown act has come to an end!!!

“It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.” - Henry Kissinger

This Lady is quite impressive. I love how she thinks, argues her case; and then substantiates he answers; awesome!!!

Defining victory would be helpful. Even if it's not probable. Defining stalemate and defeat is much easier. As is a negotiated settlement

Toure from south Africa this is not a debate you all one side

aw!! is this a debate?? The woman feels she is victoria nuland. feeling knowledgable.

This Anastasiya Shapochkina I like, she is spot on with just the right amount of passion and edge on her points.

Navalny newer supported ukrain.not a saint just another russian boss

Missed this show. It's so nice to listen to it.

By the way, who is Zelensky running against in Ukraine’s elections?

Nobody is asking how well the trenches are designed? How well the medivac system is organized? Are injured Ukrainian stabilized by medics and evacuated within an hour and on an operating table within that hour? These questions are central to a modern army fighting for democracy.

The printer is running but the Ruble is not convertible, are they eating paper over,

The loud sniffing at 0:15 was spectacular :D..

"How are you?" "Thank you" Guess the cues were not consistent

These couple eastern people live literally in an alternate world based on there analysis... Pretty sure with such imagination, they can be great Sci-Fi writers!

Sue for peace , Save lives . Dont die for American $$$

Zelensky: “If Steiner attacks Avdiivka, everything will be OK.” “My leader, Steiner did not have enough Azov forces…the attack did not take place, they all withdrew against orders…we have totally lost the battle for our militarily fortified Avdiivka.” Zelensky:”The attack was an order. How dare you ignore my orders. Is this us to what come? “We’ve already lost over 350,000 Ukrainian soldiers, either killed or severely wounded.” “I’ve been betrayed and deceived from the start. My generals are lying to me.” “Now I can’t follow Washington neocon foreign policy orders, to fight….to the very last Ukrainian…so Russia can be eventually broken up, into easily Western controlled states.” “The war is lost…time to negotiate…in order to save lives…on both sides.” “Blessed are the peacemakers.”

She talks about Russians in Germany. What about Russian army in Spain, Portugal and Iceland?

People are not willing to fight otherwise there would not be the police taking people by force or men doing all they can to leave the country

The troops maybe not delivery on time too

Stupidity is NOT curable.

this woman is still promoting war , saying that the soldier are fighting without weapons ,that there is a difference with fighting with and without weapons ,its better you promote negotiation and end the war

Has America with its military industrial complex been 'all in' on a war time economy since 1945 ?

" Set back '....!??? I thought it was a ' Strategic withdrawal ' ...??

Seeing all this green it occured to me where the problem is. You got all the soldiers doing the pressers instead of fighting on the front!

There’s no debate like a France 24 debate

You ought to have Douglas McGregor, Scott Ritter and Prof John Mearsheimer on “The Debate” to discuss the matter.

They want to confuse us.

We had guys and guys in my college who talked like guests. We used to secretly laugh and let them talk like this for hours until they fainted. Nice talking club for entertainment.

I wonder if FOX, Newsmax or even GB 'news' have the galls to have someone like Anastasia on.

Thank you .

It's always the softest of men that can't do one pull up. That know how to win a war.😮😮😮

Where did u get these panelists from? I used to listen to France 24 but with these idiots on the panel... Am disappointed... Please bring in people who are experts in geopolitics...

He should buy one way ticket to Argentina , he has lots of relatives there who live there since 1947

Excellent panel

I wonder if this lady cheered so much for Iraqi resistance? Probably not. Then it was "good thing".

I live very well with Belarus under Russian influence and I can live very well with Ukraine under Russian influence... Were I don`t live very well is when civilian factories start to make tanks and not civilian cars. The lady is promoting Ukranian interests.

It's close to 400,000; 31,000 is a months work.

After their victory in Avdeevka, Russian forces destroyed the first line of Ukrainian defense in the villages of Petrovskoe (Stepovoe) - Lastochkino - Severnoe and continue their advance to the west. As a result of their offensive, Russian forces are already storming the second line of Ukrainian defense in the villages of Berdychi-Semenovka-Orlovka-Tonenkoe. To the north-west of Avdeevka, Russian forces recently took control of Petrovskoe. The village is located in the lowlands. That’s why the Russian military does not accumulate a large forces there to launch the further assault on Berdychi. At the moment, Russian artillery and aircraft are pounding the villages of Berdychi and Semenovka, where the AFU attempt to strengthen their defense. On February 26, the Russian Ministry of Defense officially confirmed the full Russian control of the village of Lastochkino. The Ukrainian military also confirmed the retreat from the settlement, despite the cheerful claims of the Ukrainian military officials a day before. Ukrainian defeat in Lastochino was no longer possible to hide. After the Russian military completed the mop up operation in Lastochkino, they launched assault on the main Ukrainian stronghold of the AFU west of Avdeevka - the village of Orlovka. Both Russian and Ukrainian sources confirm clashes near the lakes on the eastern outskirts of the village. Amid the devastating airstrikes and artillery fire, Russian assault groups advanced along the highway and broke through Ukrainian defense near the village. The battles are ongoing along Brativ Paukova street. At the same time, Russian forces launched attacks from the south-western outskirts of Lastochkino towards Tonenkoe and expanded the zone of their control in the fields. After Russian forces took control of Severnoe, they also managed to expand the zone of their control in the fields south of Tonenkoe, as well as launch their assault on the village from the east. As a result of the fast Russian advance, the village of Tonenkoe may soon be encircled from three directions. Clashes are already reported on its southern and eastern outskirts. The second line of Ukrainian defense is the much better fortified and is more difficult to break through, but the pace of Russian advance in the region may mark the unreadiness of the Ukrainian military to fiercely fight for the villages, especially after their morale was destroyed by the defeat in Avdeevka. After the loss of Avdeevka, the Ukrainian army is still failing to align the frontline. The ‘planned withdrawal’ from the city leads to the same bloody retreat from other settlements in the region. This second line of Ukrainian defense may become the last one, since there are no further heavily fortified defensive lines in the field areas to the west.

why are we talking about putin? i thought this was about zelensky's option debat?

If your not speaking Russian your country better be spending 5% of your GDP in arming Ukraine and 10% GDP in weapons and ammo production. pick 1 or the other they are both not compatable

Zelenskyy's and Ukraine options. Seek peace negotiations and move on with what remains of Ukraine.

Why to invite guests who share the opinion completely? There is no discussion taking place. Are Europeans supposed to continue pumping their resources into the war based on analysis of this quality?

Negotiations. Thanks for the debate.

More aid just means Ukraine loses more slowly.

America will do the right thing. I just hope we don't have to wait until November for it to happen.

What I see in this video is just a blaming game on the US. The US is not at war…however the US supported Ukraine far too much already. What I like to see these people say is this: “It’s time for Zelensky to throw the towel” because soon or later there won’t be any more support.
