Yes. Ukraine has lost 20% territory and 20% of its people. Most are working as cheap labourers in germany, Scandinavia and elsewhere in Europe. And Ukraine girls too are weclome in these countries !
Britain needs to work on its own air defenses. It has completely neglected these. You'd think that the country that experienced the first sustained air campaign in history would have learned the lesson on that. The UK also is party to a treaty whereby it committed to guarantying Ukraines territorial integrity as they existed in 1994.
where are you, sadly but at least 40% of Americans support Ukraine much the rest are Russian Republicans, Marjorie Green, conspiracy, theorist, and comrade Trump
Of course the man is a hero! Anyone who can motivate a small country with a limited army and defeat a country that has many times the man power and weapons than it possess, reducing that country's ability to wage war is certainly a hero in any sain person's book! Long may Ukrainian prosper 💪💪💪
UK troops have been training ukrainian troops since 2014 fact people are worried about it now is just insane its not to put troops on frontline. Uk will be learning from ukraine forces on drone warfare, russian tactics and equipment etc and no doubt US forces are there be it military or intelligence
At least someone’s acknowledging that Uk and USA started the Ukraine war in 2014. We can now understand that Russia went into Ukraine to protect Russian speaking citizens who were getting shelled by UK and US trained soldiers. These are the facts of this war.
Oh no , Putler thinks he can make up the rules as he goes along in the middle of a war ! ? 🤔😯. That's the delusional mindset of a overconfident in his power dictator . Ukraine should get all the support they deserve , and the supporters just shut up about it already and Do .
@@sergarlantyrell7847 I'm a long way from pro-Russia in this conflict but wouldn't it prove Putin's theory of NATO aggression if they joined a war for a non-member?
Because Putlers overconfident nuclear sabre rattling works . Supporting countries of Ukraine should just do , silently without concern of their own selfish political agendas, do what's right , and just DO . This Rediculous unnecessary conflict costing Thousands and thousands of lives on both sides has gone on far too long . They are humans , Fathers , Sons and Brothers . It has done nothing for Russia and its people , if anything Putlers paranoia has backfired on him , to fast track other bordering countries of Finland then Sweden into Nato , loose a generation of its young men and workforce for industry , decimate his military and affect his economy which will be felt for generations to come . The mindset of a paranoid dictator . He says NATO want to park their rockets on their front porches 🤔 Why does he think it's taken Ukraine so long to even be close to being a NATO member , they are trying to avoid the unnecessary , but old Putler can't help himself and keep taking over other regions just like Chechnya? Stop taking over other countries Sovereignty and the nessesaty of NATO membership won't be a nessesaty. The man don't get it . 😯
The technical reason is they can legally send troops to fight Ukrainians in Russia because they have a defense agreement, but they can not fight in Ukraine. The real reason is the West has no stomach for it, they want Ukraine to do all their dying for them. This war is part of US geopolitical strategy and its backfired on the EU big time.
@@FLOYD-MAYWEATHER-TBE What do you mean nothing to do with us? They're our allies against the sleeping bear Russia. The USA doesn't exist in a vacuum. We've always had strong ties to Europe. You can't just close your eyes and think that the rest of the free world will cease to exist. Technology has made this a very small world now. A full scale invasion and ongoing major war in Europe affects all of us.
No, British troops being in Ukraine isn't a risk of them coming into contact with Russian troops, i was in Ukraine in 2023, and in extreme western Ukraine, Lviv, Yaraviv and so on, is basically a normal life!! It took us 25 hours to drive to Donetsk! There was no Russian planes in the west, no missiles, no nothing.. Russia is to worried about messing up and hitting Poland, which is obviously a NATO country, its too risky to strike so close to Poland, so there are plenty of places that British could train Ukies in country.
This should give Russia pause, because if one of their wink-wink, sick "mistakes" results in the loss of lives of British or European troops, Putin risks an even larger engagement with NATO. Putin willingly jumped into quicksand, now the more he struggles, the more he sinks. There's no way he gets out of this ahead of the game. The only question is how much more are Russians willing to lose before they realize none of this was worth it.
The primary question is whether Trump will protect your own democracy. The Project 25 playbook certainly leads towards an oligarchy, particularly with Musk's involvement. It is not an easy read, but I've never seen anything more menacing. There is open conversation over here that we should stop sharing intelligence with America. MI6 does not want it ending up on Trump's bathroom floor! Trump is way more dangerous than Putin. Double the firepower. Half the intellect.
When was the last time Ukraine had an election? US only protects democracies that pay homage to them. Democracy, dictatorship the US doesn't care as long as there's money to be made.
Helping Ukraine defend itself is legal, moral, and the right thing to do. Helping Russia in its illegal invasion of Ukraine, like North Korea does, is illegal, immoral, and evil.
Mate , the man got no choice to improve his English , he's fighting for his Countries Sovereignty and very survival , and I tell you right now , you would be hard pressed to find another Leader of a relatively small country , that has done so much to galvanise support for the democratic way and the fight for freedoms . He has "Woken up NATO" and fast tracked other countries NATO Memberships in his plight . His Country has been left like sitting ducks without any nuclear defence capabilities or Deterance , as a result of other countries criterior to maintain civil order between nations - this is the very reason Russia has so braisenly invaded this vulnerable non - NATO member . Zelenski has Every Right to request ongoing support with this , and other countries to stand up to Their Responsibility over their own decisions . All we seem to hear is winger's carrying on about 😭"My tax dollars"😭"My tax dollars" , without a seconds thought to how Ukraine came to be in this position , or what it would be like if the shoe was on the other foot . Typical from an entitled generation who has Never had to fight for Nothing in their lives and absolutely taking their freedoms for granted . Well done to Zelenski thus far and wish his nation victory against this evil dictatorship. Slava Ukraine 👍

" considering " is not the same thing as DOING - don't count on it, as public opinion is firmly NO on sending Brits to Ukraine in any significant numbers
'as public opinion is firmly NO on sending Brits to Ukraine in any significant numbers' - what are you basing this on? Everyone I know supports the deployment of NATO troops, including the UK.
@@TransoceanicOutreach Your small circle of friends does not reflect the polling in England - NO to troops being sent to fight in Ukraine! Same as in France, the USA, Germany, etc. Poland might - but that remains to be seen.
The madness still continues here it seems. If British troops are sent to Ukraine in any capacity it will be seen as a declaration of war with Russia. Secondly, there is nobody left to train even if Starmer was mad enough to do this.
Why not give illegal immigrants a six week basic training course, then send them to Ukraine to support the Ukraine army against the Russians? It would provide front line troops for Ukraine and be a deterrent for the others presently planning to cross the channel.
My thoughts too! It would certainly separate those wanting a British way of life (and all that that entails!) and those freeloaders wanting a better life at the British taxpayers expense.
I think it would be a great idea to use all the thousands of young men in our five star hotels . To go over to show how much they want to live in Britain that would be a great indication on the real reason why they are here in our country.

With N. Korean troops now being thrown into the 'meat grinder' as front line troops fighting in the Ukrainian conflict should set a precedent. One thing that could greatly help would be NATO pilots be allowed to fly F-16's acquired by the Ukrainian AF even if limited to airspace in Ukrainian controlled areas (reminiscent of Russian pilots in China pre-WW2 & the Korean War in the 1950's & American 'Flying Tigers' in China). Many foreign pilots have express an interest to get involved if allowed could quickly fill cockpit slots in these aircraft with experienced personnel (which will take decades to duplicate / train up with new Ukrainian pilots). Would also allow for the introduction of other useful aircraft types (such as Harries being retired by a # of countries with the introduction of the F-35) without the need of additional (& very time-consuming) pilot training.
Sure call it 50k a year and something I can buy when / if I come home and you have a deal. But like every western nation around you want to pay the absolutely lowest wage and create the greatest mental illness health issues in your own societies in the process as well as torment the local decent citzens with rampant crime and other fantasy distressess. So unfortunately, I have to give this conflict like the last half dozen like from the Arab springs a big wide miss 😂 once again . Cos I just don't think our governments are ever serious about any idea they present us with now are they really
Bravo Brits!! But, be freaking careful 🧐 that place is Ukraineistan if you get muckered into ANY direct actions- and those aren't always possible to avoid- but-Slava Ukraine!❤ All of Europe must show the F up too
@ that’s what US Gen Milley thought. And no - it was 3 days, remember? U seem to be upset it’s not going quickly enough ? Rest assured - it will all end in 2025.
Putin now has people beholden to his largesse in every key decision making role in the USA. With the USA’s defeat, Britain must now step up as the dominant power in the English speaking world.
Nobody is listening to ukraine, countries just keep offering whatever they wish to provide. Ukraine needs men, equipment, & weapons. They havnt been training new battalions because they dont have the gear to equip them. training isnt the issue, they need the weapons to fight with..... The uk would be more useful if it beefed up its own millitary. Russia understands Britain is a paper tiger. Ukraine has experienced, studied trainers. Soldiers need supplementary weapons besides just a rifle, to conduct effective operations.
Ukraine should open up their military to all the unwanted immigrants scattered across Europe member nations....fight for Ukraine and after X # years service, receive citizenship and defined benefits - if Ukraine doesn't do something soon about manpower, they will be forced to lower the conscription age down to 18 years old and they should probably have done so a long while ago. These new members of military could have been pushed int lesser combat roles freeing up older more seasoned regulars etc
No one said no weapons or no equipment has made it ...but it's true that have not been supported enough. 50 Abrams Tanks is a Pittance. For the Aid to make best difference it needs to be at same level West supported USSR during WWII with Lend Lease. high Hundreds or thousands of Units. Not handfuls or low hundreds.
Yep , a very clever and resourceful people . Their proven way of war clearly shows the respect and preservation they have for human life - unlike Putler . Much respect to this resilient nation of true warriors . Slava Ukraine 👍❤️
@Milk-No-Sugar I can appreciate the value in sending NCO in addition to officers. My thought is that the Ukrainians are now the ones with the experience
@@lesigh1749 1. Learn to spell. It is Kyiv not kiev. 2. Russia does not have the ability to vaporise Kyiv using conventional weapons or it would already have done so (they would have used the Oreshnik missile on Kyiv but Russia knows it will get taken out by superior Western air defence).
@@richiecooke69 1. Its been Kiev for a very very long time, far longer ago that the 1990s when Ukraine became a country. Chicken Kiev is a famous dish from Kiev and was being enjoyed centuries ago. 2. Russia has around 7000 nuclear warheads by NATOs estimation, FYI all of NATO combined has only 5500. So they very much do have that ability. Air defense systems are largely useless against ICBMs as they descend from near orbit at speeds too fast for radar guidance to lock on and deploy an interceptor missile as demonstrated in Ukraine last month.

How about stop telling the opponent what we are going to do. When they keep saying what they will or will not do says to me that they don’t really care about the conflict.

To be fair, the UK hasn’t declared war on Russia, so comparison with WWII is flawed. They announce the steps because they are trying to do something else than war. They’re doing deterrence. Not saying it’s working, but that’s the situation.
@@jerichojeudy Ye I get it and I'm not against helping train troops, I just think the risk is not worth it to have that done in Ukraine. What benefit is there to training them in Ukraine VS the UK or another bordering nation like Poland? Its safer for the Ukrainian troops and less risk the UK getting more involved to do this out side of Ukraine. That is my issue with this plan. Its like there putting UK personnel in the firing line on purpose. At least that is my impression.
why don`t the uk goverment ask our new visitors to help them out in ukraine ,,i am sure they would love to get out in the fresh air playing in open fields ..
@jamesfalconer74 ... Absolutely, all refugees, illegals and any future applicants go for service in Ukraine and then get granted conditional citizenship in UK
Huh? Britain fights as a NATO coalition. Look at the NATO resourcing and funding. It's a very different picture. Also, Russia has overmatch in air power (and naval power) it won't should Britain/NATO be in conflict.
@jasonwright6823 Aw bless. Did the nasty man say something you didn't like? Did the nasty man point out that since the formation of NATO Britain has ALWAYS countered USSR/Russia in a coalition. And that British defence policy has always been based around this. See BAOR. Or is it that I can count? That it was never intended for the Royal Tank Corps to face Soviet tanks in West Germany alone.
So basically, Ukraine is running out of men so we will send ours. Before all these people start saying we should. I will take a guess you will not the ones going. I am sick and tired of people stating we should send troops here, send troops there when theybare not the ones who will paybthe price. Most the UK have already forgotten about veterans like myself who fought in Afghanistan. Hypocrits and war mongers.
The UK government have badly let down a lot of veterans like yourself, and I’m sorry and furious about that. I will try not to bring illegal migrant privileges into this, over home grown Brits - especially ones who’ve served our country (but oooooops I just did!). Training Ukrainian soldiers is one thing, but actively fighting Russia I don’t agree with. All the best to you 😊
@@davidheard723 Absolutely! There are propagandists commenting on here saying things like "they'll be 100% safe, there will be no risk...there are only a few missile salvos in Lviv" How is that "no risk"?? People have completely lost the ability to see things clearly about this conflict.
And don’t forget are army have never actually protected are borders from the 1000 a week invasion crossings of the English Channel from the 99% military age Muslim/Africa men but when Ukraines boarders get invaded by Russia the english army and MSM want us to go and defend their ‘sovereignty’ but when we ask for our sovereignty to be protected the media calls us far right thugs…. You honestly can’t make this stuff up. People in this comment sections are straight up brainwashed sheep thinking we should go send are troops to defend Ukraine when are own country is getting invaded at a higher rate than ever before 🤡🤡🤡
As usual: some don't UNDERSTAND because they're too quick to start squawking about 'cannon fodder' & similar BS - rather than using some thinking skills. Train Ukrainians here, or in Ukraine - you do as ordered.
US, UK and Nordic forces have been there instructing and learning all the way from the start. It has been a necessary and natural part of military aid. Russia has not been shy on targeting those installations.
Keep what troops we have in once Great Britain as we will need them to deal with the building threat of hostile immigrants and Putin's threats to our country.
Please get his title correct. He is General Francis Richard Dannatt, Baron Dannatt, and therefore not Lord Richard Dannatt but Richard, Lord Dannat. There's a significant difference.
It could be useful, not the way the NK troops are being used, but training yourself in a real battle. Who in their army have that background, fewer and fewer, it will be more than training but observing.
UK is not a Military Super Power only coz it chose not to be. If it chose to it could be so again. UK is still a Major Military Power though as long as it fields it's two Carrier Groups. Only a few Nations other than the USA have a Carrier Group, let alone two. That in itself is a bragging Right,. If UK spent on it's Military at the same level as US per capita/% of GDP according to Economy size/Population size it could at min field 4 Carrier Groups (according to current Economy/Taxation levels), if it had the Will ...& up to 7 Carrier Groups (according to US-UK population ratio & by adjusting/raising Taxes) UK has one Carrier Group for every 33 Million People. For the USA ...they have one Carrier Group for every 30 million People so that is roughly comparable. Other countries look like Tiddly Winks coz USA is so over Militarised but if USA did not exist UK would be ranked as 5th most powerful Nation Militarily. As it is right now it is considered number 6. US has one Carrier Group per 2.4 Trillion GDP. UK has one Carrier Group per 1.7 Trillion GDP right now so UK is in fact running a more Cost Effective/Efficient Force ie UK IMC/Defence Forces has less bloat, wastage, corruption & price gouging. As someone else mentioned below. UK does not stand alone. Alone it is a just a Major Power, but it's part of a little Club you fail to mention aside from/never mind the big Club of NATO which even without USA would itself constitute a Superpower. It also has a smaller Club that yet still effectively makes it with that alliance a Superpower. It's called Australia/NZ/Canada who as long as they are part of the Crown who will always have UK's back. UK also has another Club that's not as powerful as NATO but still would lend a lot of strength & that is is the Commonwealth ...56 Nations, 2.5 Billion People. Sure not all of those Nations would answer a UK call for help, but many would.

WHY DONT SOME OF THE COUNTRY'S, GO INTO UKRAINE A COUPLE OF 100, MILES, SAYING THEY ARE ANNEXING LOTS OF UKRAINE TERRITORY, SO UKRAINE CAN FIGHT WITH MORE TROOPS, AFTER THE WAR IS OVER JUST GIVE IT BACK, JUST LIKE RUSSIA.
Cut the nuclear deterrent and spend it on conventional forces. It confers absolutely no benefit on us to maintain nuclear capability since all the tech is actually bought from the States and supported and repaired by them. Our nuclear spending is just marginally subsidising the States, if spent on conventional forces we could massively improve our capabilities.
Other free countries should be putting boots on the ground. Ukraine is not fighting for themselves but for the free world as well and they should darned well not have to do it on their own.
To avoid further unnecessary escalation of the war, it would certainly be advisable to send Britain's instructors to Poland and have Ukrainians be trained there rather than on Ukrainian soil.
Nonsense. Don't be taken in by the nonsense spouted by Russian bots. If Ukraine wants to invite Britons to Ukraine, it is free to do so, and Britons are free to accept such invitations. People travelling between free countries isn't "escalation", unnecessary or otherwise.
The training efforts must be dramatically scaled up. It's not the question where but how many. Training sites all over every NATO country (plus USA allies in Asia) shall be buzzing with activity now. Russia won't be stopped if its training capacity is not outmatched, period. There must be as many soldiers in training as there are fighting on the front line. Standardized training programs must be created based on best practices and experiences from the front. Apart that volunteer pilots shall be allowed to discharge from the armed forces and join Ukrainian armed forces. Training Pilots in Ukraine is just not fast enough.
@@francescogalesso1880 The EU members alone have a total population that is around three times the size of Russia's. There shouldn't be any shortage of manpower.

In contrast, the USA's army is about 1.9 million or Decimal 0.00567 of the USA's population of 335 million. If the UK Army were the same percentage of its population as the USA's the Army would be 385,560, or over five times as large as it is now. I did not vote for Trump, but when Trump gets in Power, I am Afraid Europe will be on its own.
Keir Starmer’s suggestion to send troops into Ukraine is reckless and shortsighted. As a former solicitor, he seems to think his legal background qualifies him to make decisions on military matters, but he has no real understanding of the complexities of military power or the consequences of such actions. He’s a jumped-up little squirt who, instead of considering the risks, is acting as though he’s some sort of political powerhouse. The reality is, we need calm, informed leadership, not someone throwing around dangerous rhetoric with no grasp of the stakes involved.
As opposed to your decades in military leadership? The UK has been leading support for Ukraine since the beginning of this conflict. We were the first to send MBTs, to send long range missiles, campagined Biden to allow their use within Russia. This is something that Starmer will have been advised on and is unlikely to be his idea given that it's an approach that predates him.
So let Putin dictate the pace of this war? He already has his population indoctrinated to think RU is already fighting NATO so the escalation stuff is pure scaremongering for a western audience and unfortunately he had major success in it. It's about time we took the initiative and stopped caring about what Russia thinks at this stage.
God be with our Armed Forces and the valiant Ukrainians, in their fight against utter evil; bless them. We'll always remember the Blitz and our fight against monsters, alone (except for gallant, Allied volunteers) before Pearl Harbour. "Lest we forget," the awful cost of democracy. Always in my prayers and on my mind.
About bloody time - lets remember the British Commonwealth forces include, Canada, Australia, NZ and so on - we are a superpower and about time we flexed our muscles

Uk will be learning from ukraine forces on drone warfare, russian tactics and equipment etc and no doubt US forces are there be it military or intelligence
At least someone’s acknowledging that Uk and USA started the Ukraine war in 2014. We can now understand that Russia went into Ukraine to protect Russian speaking citizens who were getting shelled by UK and US trained soldiers. These are the facts of this war.

Oh no , Putler thinks he can make up the rules as he goes along in the middle of a war ! ? 🤔😯. That's the delusional mindset of a overconfident in his power dictator . Ukraine should get all the support they deserve , and the supporters just shut up about it already and Do .

@@sergarlantyrell7847 I'm a long way from pro-Russia in this conflict but wouldn't it prove Putin's theory of NATO aggression if they joined a war for a non-member?
If North Korea can send troops to help Russia, why cant the EU or Nato send troops to help Ukraine?
Because Putlers overconfident nuclear sabre rattling works . Supporting countries of Ukraine should just do , silently without concern of their own selfish political agendas, do what's right , and just DO . This Rediculous unnecessary conflict costing Thousands and thousands of lives on both sides has gone on far too long . They are humans , Fathers , Sons and Brothers . It has done nothing for Russia and its people , if anything Putlers paranoia has backfired on him , to fast track other bordering countries of Finland then Sweden into Nato , loose a generation of its young men and workforce for industry , decimate his military and affect his economy which will be felt for generations to come . The mindset of a paranoid dictator . He says NATO want to park their rockets on their front porches 🤔 Why does he think it's taken Ukraine so long to even be close to being a NATO member , they are trying to avoid the unnecessary , but old Putler can't help himself and keep taking over other regions just like Chechnya? Stop taking over other countries Sovereignty and the nessesaty of NATO membership won't be a nessesaty. The man don't get it . 😯
Why do you want are Troops to go and fight for a country that has noting to do with us? 😂
The technical reason is they can legally send troops to fight Ukrainians in Russia because they have a defense agreement, but they can not fight in Ukraine. The real reason is the West has no stomach for it, they want Ukraine to do all their dying for them. This war is part of US geopolitical strategy and its backfired on the EU big time.

Risk is part of life. Walk across the road, you take risk. Start a business you take risk. Take a plane trip you take risk. Risk is normal.
No, British troops being in Ukraine isn't a risk of them coming into contact with Russian troops, i was in Ukraine in 2023, and in extreme western Ukraine, Lviv, Yaraviv and so on, is basically a normal life!! It took us 25 hours to drive to Donetsk! There was no Russian planes in the west, no missiles, no nothing.. Russia is to worried about messing up and hitting Poland, which is obviously a NATO country, its too risky to strike so close to Poland, so there are plenty of places that British could train Ukies in country.
Never been but know you are correct!
thanx for the 1st hand report, Russia is worried about any country sending troops
Russia using N.K. troops is fine so Go Ukraine, hope you get all the help you need.
And there will be many of the Polish troops itching to get into the ruzzian army. With better weapons and training, and support, logistical & moral.
Russia does shoot missiles into western Ukraine (and drones I believe), just not as many as they shoot into eastern Ukraine.
This should give Russia pause, because if one of their wink-wink, sick "mistakes" results in the loss of lives of British or European troops, Putin risks an even larger engagement with NATO. Putin willingly jumped into quicksand, now the more he struggles, the more he sinks. There's no way he gets out of this ahead of the game. The only question is how much more are Russians willing to lose before they realize none of this was worth it.
Nobody in NATO is going to get involved in a ground war in Ukraine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to our friends and allies from the U.K.! As an American I wonder if our new president will protect democracies. 🙄
The primary question is whether Trump will protect your own democracy. The Project 25 playbook certainly leads towards an oligarchy, particularly with Musk's involvement. It is not an easy read, but I've never seen anything more menacing. There is open conversation over here that we should stop sharing intelligence with America. MI6 does not want it ending up on Trump's bathroom floor! Trump is way more dangerous than Putin. Double the firepower. Half the intellect.
Ukraine is not a democracy. Zelensky is no longer president and has arrested opposition politicians and church leaders
President musk will not help ukraine unfortunately
When was the last time Ukraine had an election? US only protects democracies that pay homage to them. Democracy, dictatorship the US doesn't care as long as there's money to be made.

Helping Ukraine defend itself is legal, moral, and the right thing to do. Helping Russia in its illegal invasion of Ukraine, like North Korea does, is illegal, immoral, and evil.

With N. Korean troops now being thrown into the 'meat grinder' as front line troops fighting in the Ukrainian conflict should set a precedent. One thing that could greatly help would be NATO pilots be allowed to fly F-16's acquired by the Ukrainian AF even if limited to airspace in Ukrainian controlled areas (reminiscent of Russian pilots in China pre-WW2 & the Korean War in the 1950's & American 'Flying Tigers' in China). Many foreign pilots have express an interest to get involved if allowed could quickly fill cockpit slots in these aircraft with experienced personnel (which will take decades to duplicate / train up with new Ukrainian pilots). Would also allow for the introduction of other useful aircraft types (such as Harries being retired by a # of countries with the introduction of the F-35) without the need of additional (& very time-consuming) pilot training.
Good show !!!
I do not support this in Ukraine, however training Ukrainian forces in Poland has my backing.
The European nations could provide a great deal of support to Ukraine which would free up a lot of Ukrainian men for combat duties..

I am truly grateful to the British for helping Ukraine. God save the king,long live the king of England. From a New Yorker
Nobody is listening to ukraine, countries just keep offering whatever they wish to provide. Ukraine needs men, equipment, & weapons. They havnt been training new battalions because they dont have the gear to equip them. training isnt the issue, they need the weapons to fight with.....
The uk would be more useful if it beefed up its own millitary. Russia understands Britain is a paper tiger. Ukraine has experienced, studied trainers. Soldiers need supplementary weapons besides just a rifle, to conduct effective operations.
So what was the hundreds of billions of dollars for no weapons or equipment? What are u chatting
It seems that the Ukrainians lack not only weapons but also soldiers.
Ukraine needs to wake up and remember that it's Russia and who is the real enemy here!
Ukraine should open up their military to all the unwanted immigrants scattered across Europe member nations....fight for Ukraine and after X # years service, receive citizenship and defined benefits - if Ukraine doesn't do something soon about manpower, they will be forced to lower the conscription age down to 18 years old and they should probably have done so a long while ago. These new members of military could have been pushed int lesser combat roles freeing up older more seasoned regulars etc
No one said no weapons or no equipment has made it ...but it's true that have not been supported enough. 50 Abrams Tanks is a Pittance.

UK is not a Military Super Power only coz it chose not to be. If it chose to it could be so again. UK is still a Major Military Power though as long as it fields it's two Carrier Groups. Only a few Nations other than the USA have a Carrier Group, let alone two. That in itself is a bragging Right,.
If UK spent on it's Military at the same level as US per capita/% of GDP according to Economy size/Population size it could at min field 4 Carrier Groups (according to current Economy/Taxation levels), if it had the Will ...& up to 7 Carrier Groups (according to US-UK population ratio & by adjusting/raising Taxes)
UK has one Carrier Group for every 33 Million People. For the USA ...they have one Carrier Group for every 30 million People so that is roughly comparable.
Other countries look like Tiddly Winks coz USA is so over Militarised but if USA did not exist UK would be ranked as 5th most powerful Nation Militarily. As it is right now it is considered number 6.
US has one Carrier Group per 2.4 Trillion GDP. UK has one Carrier Group per 1.7 Trillion GDP right now so UK is in fact running a more Cost Effective/Efficient Force ie UK IMC/Defence Forces has less bloat, wastage, corruption & price gouging.
As someone else mentioned below. UK does not stand alone. Alone it is a just a Major Power, but it's part of a little Club you fail to mention aside from/never mind the big Club of NATO which even without USA would itself constitute a Superpower. It also has a smaller Club that yet still effectively makes it with that alliance a Superpower. It's called Australia/NZ/Canada who as long as they are part of the Crown who will always have UK's back. UK also has another Club that's not as powerful as NATO but still would lend a lot of strength & that is is the Commonwealth ...56 Nations, 2.5 Billion People. Sure not all of those Nations would answer a UK call for help, but many would.
There’s already British troops in Ukraine, they have even been killed too. They’ve even been fighting French mercenaries in Ukraine. Now just look at the state of Ukraine, with them being there.
My head hurt reading rhis
@ 🤣 What do you expect with just 11 comments in 2 YEARS. 🤣 Silly BOT. 🤖 If FACTS hurt your little tin head, maybe update to IOS 17. 😉😉🤣 I appreciate you 🥰 wasting ONE of your 11 comments to spout complete nonsense. Thank you. 🙏 But FACTS will NEVER change because your tin head hurts. 😉🤭🤣🤣
Volunteers are not the same thing as Mercenaries LOL. Fighting for free, as a Volunteer for a cause is not the same as fighting for Money. It is Russia that has Mercenaries from Africa, Nth Africa, Syria etc
@ 🤣 Here’s another BOT 🤖 spouting complete NONSENSE. 🤣 Show me EXACTLY where I’ve said anything to do with “volunteers”? 🤷♂️ Now the MERCENARIES from the UK, French and the US, HAVE been fighting each other. 😉 That’s just a FACT and a well known FACT too. 😉🤭 So leave your nonsense for other BOTS. 🤖 I only deal in the FACTS and not the nonsense you spout from the US and Western Media. 😉🤭🤣🤣🤣
What troops would they be then
The video started by saying that it would be a training mission
So just Brits training Ukrainians in Ukraine instead of in the UK
Yes let the UK just give you the entire secret plan of what they intend to do 😂
@@HuskyOwner-bl1jf yep. Nothing to see here
WHY DONT SOME OF THE COUNTRY'S, GO INTO UKRAINE A COUPLE OF 100, MILES, SAYING THEY ARE ANNEXING LOTS OF UKRAINE TERRITORY, SO UKRAINE CAN FIGHT WITH MORE TROOPS, AFTER THE WAR IS OVER JUST GIVE IT BACK, JUST LIKE RUSSIA.
😂 tHE tiMEs continues with its tawdrily risible NAFO fantasy fan fiction.
fair play Starmer is still a ringpiece
Cut the nuclear deterrent and spend it on conventional forces. It confers absolutely no benefit on us to maintain nuclear capability since all the tech is actually bought from the States and supported and repaired by them. Our nuclear spending is just marginally subsidising the States, if spent on conventional forces we could massively improve our capabilities.
Russian mole?
Other free countries should be putting boots on the ground. Ukraine is not fighting for themselves but for the free world as well and they should darned well not have to do it on their own.
BS. US troops do not have to do jack, neither does any other country.
Look at you trying to act tough "get boots on the ground" & you're not even fighting, morons.
You're eating pizza & telling others to go fight.
To avoid further unnecessary escalation of the war, it would certainly be advisable to send Britain's instructors to Poland and have Ukrainians be trained there rather than on Ukrainian soil.
Nonsense. Don't be taken in by the nonsense spouted by Russian bots. If Ukraine wants to invite Britons to Ukraine, it is free to do so, and Britons are free to accept such invitations. People travelling between free countries isn't "escalation", unnecessary or otherwise.
Why Ukraine is a sovereign nation
The training efforts must be dramatically scaled up. It's not the question where but how many. Training sites all over every NATO country (plus USA allies in Asia) shall be buzzing with activity now. Russia won't be stopped if its training capacity is not outmatched, period. There must be as many soldiers in training as there are fighting on the front line. Standardized training programs must be created based on best practices and experiences from the front. Apart that volunteer pilots shall be allowed to discharge from the armed forces and join Ukrainian armed forces. Training Pilots in Ukraine is just not fast enough.
It seems there is a shortage of students to train.
@@francescogalesso1880 The EU members alone have a total population that is around three times the size of Russia's. There shouldn't be any shortage of manpower.
"we couldnt afford it even if the russians allow it" is what i heard him say.
GB wants to send troops to Ukraine when it fails to defend itself? Lol
Who's attacking us right now? Immigrants? Transexuals?
@@tommiatkins3443twats, and there’s millions of them
The General says the UK Army is small.
HOW small is it?
These are only rough figures:
The UK Army is 68,000 Troops or Decimal 0.001 of the UK Population of 68,000,000.
In contrast, the USA's army is about 1.9 million or Decimal 0.00567 of the USA's population of 335 million.
If the UK Army were the same percentage of its population as the USA's the Army would be 385,560, or over five times as large as it is now.
I did not vote for Trump, but when Trump gets in Power, I am Afraid Europe will be on its own.
You need to get mental help.
You have zero interest in the ukriane or the people.
All you care about is money.
When you have failed to pay your premiums (defence) for several decades, don't try to make a claim.
Keir Starmer’s suggestion to send troops into Ukraine is reckless and shortsighted. As a former solicitor, he seems to think his legal background qualifies him to make decisions on military matters, but he has no real understanding of the complexities of military power or the consequences of such actions. He’s a jumped-up little squirt who, instead of considering the risks, is acting as though he’s some sort of political powerhouse. The reality is, we need calm, informed leadership, not someone throwing around dangerous rhetoric with no grasp of the stakes involved.
Agreed.
exactly right
As opposed to your decades in military leadership? The UK has been leading support for Ukraine since the beginning of this conflict. We were the first to send MBTs, to send long range missiles, campagined Biden to allow their use within Russia.
This is something that Starmer will have been advised on and is unlikely to be his idea given that it's an approach that predates him.
So let Putin dictate the pace of this war? He already has his population indoctrinated to think RU is already fighting NATO so the escalation stuff is pure scaremongering for a western audience and unfortunately he had major success in it. It's about time we took the initiative and stopped caring about what Russia thinks at this stage.
@@wayne7071 since when has ‘legal’ and government’ ever coexisted in the same sentence
God be with our Armed Forces and the valiant Ukrainians, in their fight against utter evil; bless them. We'll always remember the Blitz and our fight against monsters, alone (except for gallant, Allied volunteers) before Pearl Harbour. "Lest we forget," the awful cost of democracy. Always in my prayers and on my mind.
About bloody time - lets remember the British Commonwealth forces include, Canada, Australia, NZ and so on - we are a superpower and about time we flexed our muscles
Thanks alot, poor Canada... saving the British bacon, once again. As always. *sigh
Looks more like a gay parade, led by Justin Trudeau and Boris Johnson.
You are living in the wrong Century. 😂
The UK doesn't govern any of those so no, it's not a super power.
Welcome to 2024
Are you serious?
