The US is imposing the same sort of ridiculous rules of war that were imposed on US forces in the Vietnam war; Don't hit Haiphong for fear of hitting Russian or Chinese ships. Don't fly too near the Viet/Chines border. What Bo!!ock$. If you're going to wage war, make it all out, no limitations, otherwise give up now. Ridiculous.
Yeah, it's like fighting with a Stright jacket on, just dumb!
All out war leads to all out destruction!
Exactly, this is absolutely ridiculous. Do they really in the US Government have any kind of geopolitic strategies there??
Are they really afraid of the Russians???

Imagine what photographic drama they'd make out of it this was Ukraine. Their minister said they need HUNDREDS of billions to win.
There should be no restrictions on how Ukraine defends itself, they are not the aggressor
We live in the world where if your attacker is a nuclear power, you should show restrain and defend yourself only on your internationally recognized territory so you won't provoke an escalation. Countries that don't have nuclear weapons at the moment should keep this in mind when they decide whether they should keep their not nuclear status.
@@AlexV6 nukes are a jedi mind trick. They have to be ignored otherwise the bully wins all conflicts... the victim checkmated by fear.
Lotta dead kids in the donbass say otherwise
Ukraine cozying up to the West and wanting to join NATO makes them an aggressor in Russia’s eyes. Russia sees NATO as a hostile power. Ukraine isn’t as innocent as they make themselves out to be.
that's reckless, as the Ukrainian supply lines go to Poland and further on to Europe.
Please when stating who is supplying weapons to Ukraine. Just state weapons are being supplied from NATO allies. It’s not just the USA and GB. It’s many countries helping Ukraine.
NATO allies are sending too little too late.
Yea nato allies sending MILLIONS of dollars of aid! 😂😂😂.
NATO allies sending $ millions. USA sending $ Billions. Not much difference there.

No it's a negotiating objective! What is call 'the golden bridge' quite Sun Tuz the art of war. It ties down defences, and if Ukrians states it will give 3 months to evecuate all Russin persons from Crimia befor they take down the bridge! Can you imagine Putins reply and reaction?
Is, is thay an accomplishment? They kicked natos teeth in and youre gonna bomb an inanimate object. Jfc you prob punch walls when youre mad too.
The threat of attacking it could be more potent than actually doing it. They have to close it for hours at considerable expense whenever they perceive a threat, real or otherwise.
@@JimRogers-oc2jd They should absolutely issue such a warning. Also.... July.
I think it is so absurd all these restrictions on Ukraine. I mean this is war, it is normal to hit your anamy at their territory

It is so idiotic to put these restrictions on the Ukrainians. Russia is the aggressor, and you often need to defend yourself by hitting the aggressor on his ground. These restrictions are meaningless nonsens.
They just work for the orcs because they don't have any boundaries for them
They make perfect sense if you are not interested in Ukraine's "victory" and all you care about is a potential use of nukes by Russia.
Yesterday I saw a Lloyd Austin news conference, he said point blank that the long range ATACMS were unrestricted and UKR could use them as THEY saw fit.....
Restrictions are not idiotic. It's within the rights of doner countries to place restrictions where they see fit taking into account who the enemy is i.e. a nuclear weapons armed super power. It's not so good for Ukraine, but worse would be to have no doners.

LOL,,,, clown!! Glory to RUSSIA!!
This is such an obvious move, if you take out train engines they can't use them. I was wondering why they weren't doing that months ago.
I thought Putin was following a scorched earth policy but I was informed that Russia has always looked that way, or at least those parts oligarchs and western elites don’t see.
Kerch bridge is in the crosshairs
2+ years and still waiting. The newer more powerful generation of Sea Baby attack drones AND the newer longer range missiles and we might get that thing to splash down.....
That is awful state of affairs... With nato state s putting ridiculous restrictions on weapons use by Ukraine on attacks against Russia in Russia, what kind of nonsense is.... Here to day gone tomorrow politician. How have zero understanding of defense
Ukraine should refrain from using western weapons on Russian territory if Russia refrains from using weapons in Ukraine. IF....
🇺🇦🏴❤️
The US Congress just passed the law of a $60 Bn aid package to Ukraine that has a provision of providing ATACMS to Ukraine, but it Did Not say or specify where and which targets those long-range missiles can fire at. So, President Zelensky can give orders to his Generals to fire anywhere he deems necessary to defend his country including military targets deep inside Russia such as weapon depots, airfields, weapons manufactory, energy production facilities, air defense infrastructures, command control centers, troops concentration, etc. In other words, the Ukrainian Armed Forces can use ATACMS for any purpose to defend their country as they deem necessary. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin inferred in his press conference, no restrictions on the use of ATACMS since the law provides no 'Restrictions" on the use of those missiles.
ATACMS has a range of 400 Km with a small warhead. That’s not even 300 miles. The ultra long range light aircraft drones need to arrive in force.
I've seen this exact post 10 times today. What's the agenda?
@@icu17siberia To make sure President Zelensky knows it.
The train is the huge gigantic problems now. Zelenski doesn't make military decisions. He's a professional beggar and he's really good at it.
Locomotive engines must be targeted as railways lines are easily repaired.
It’s really nice of western countries to announce publicly what weapons they are going to supply and when Ukraine can expect delivery.
It can't be that easy, they must be telling almost truths.
I haven't heard any specifics except UK and US. I know Germany provide a patriot system. Otherwise...silence
It...makes no difference
Why does it matter? All of the announcements over 2 years and Russia still hasn’t been able to stop them from getting to the front
Do you really think each countries intelligence doesnt choose when the information is released? 😂
Good idea. Pretty hard to defend thousands of miles of railway. And tons of it passes through very nasty climate and terrain, making repairs very problematic.
Russia is/has taken out Ukrainian transport routes. This is making it very difficult getting the packages to the front line. Now they want to attack Russian trains etc.
@@Bird_McBride Indeed but there's many large areas of russia that are rail or nothing.

Do the trans-siberian railway use a derail-er spraypainted and camouflage it, pick it up just after you watch it work 😉 repeat. Or make a derail-er that is one use, so the russians can't re-use it
NATO Forces should ANNEX Russia to Protect the 200,000 Plus Ukrainian Speaking People Forced into Russia 😀
Putin claimes russia don't have borders so they can't protest if Ukraine annex territories, to establish a security zone between russia and Ukraine are a very good idea and place it east of Ukraine would be a good solution
Nato can only target weak countries like Iraq or Lybia and not Russia instead Russia is defeating all Nato countries combined through their proxy ukraine.
Just like that?
The words Ukraine and annex just don't match! Niet nada nein. 😅
Yeah no problem…then why don’t you go for it. You and who’s army.
It's not a surprise that the American government would not want their weapons used to aggressively. They supposedly tied the hands of their own military in Vietnam!
People with good sense want to avoid nuclear war. There is no winning scenario on the table, no regime change. The original goal was to weaken Russia, but it didn't work.
Give air component to Ukraine and see difference on the frontline
They have admitted the F-16 would prove ineffective. Russia has been shooting them down since the seventies.
Anti-tank mines with a modified fuze should be quite effective against locomotives passing over them. Could be put in place by larger drones.
Ukraine will go again for the Crimea Bridge for PR Value.

This isn't exactly new, they have been doing it for a couple of years.
Some railways have been hit in Siberia by forces opposing Putin.
The natives in Canada obstruct trains periodically in protest. Nothing happens. They just get arrested.
I often wondered, why trains?
CAn NATO send its own 'little green men' into Ukraine?
There are already NATO troops "booting" on the ground and being killed.
Well, why not. If they do it in their free time, or take holiday. The material they need, they just borrow it from the stores, and on Monday they bring it back

Now we all though this is not a new strategy.
They have not done nearly enough. If they had used their special forces to do this, russia would really not have any forces in Ukraine. How is russia able to supply an occupying force of over 300,000 soldiers???

While there are plenty of rail heads, supply depots and mustering points behind enemy lines but well within Ukraine’s own borders it is not yet either necessary or productive to extend the conflict into Russian territory. The long range weapons will be used to make military centres in Crimea increasingly insecure.
Common sense, please -- this will only increase the resolve and ire of the Russian people.
This is pure evil

I suggest you read some history.
it's not going to last
Thank you Michael.
These restriction on the use of weapons by Ukraine is idiotic. Why aren't there similar restriction on the use of North Korean and Iranian weapons to be used only on Russian territory?
OK, Russia will say that Ukraine is Russia, so, using that bonkers logic, all NATO weapons are already breaking that usage code, so why continue to impose such unfair restriction?

Reminds me of Quentin Crisp.

I think that my family would prefer the yacht over some road in the middle of nowhere that peasants would use.
@@terryfox9344 Spoken like a Russian Oligarch.
Russia has paved and modernized all roads in occupied zones. One reason is logistics and the other is it's very difficult to mine a paved road.
Ukraine should stay on defense and not expend its men and material on costly offensives--let the Russians do that. A military stalemate, combined with crushing economic sanctions, should eventually cause the Russians to negociate, and this is when the Ukrainians could recover territory.
I'm Ukrainian and I approve of this comment.
Sorry, but sanctions do not work.
The Crimea bridge….not that Ukraine has the amo can end the Kirch Bridge. No more train transport of weapons and soldiers to ru
Patriot missile are for blasting incoming missiles. Ukraine can't be forced to buy weapons that are not strongly dentering Russia aggressive attacs.
Why is this a “new” strategy of Ukraine? Where has Mr Binyon been for the past three years, in russia? Ukraine has been targeting ru railway substations and ru railway hubs deep inside russia for the past 18 months. When North Korea started sending weapons on the Vladivostok line, Ukraine sabotaged that railway line thoroughly in the dead of winter 2023. Likewise a railway hub up in Siberia with the help of saboteurs. Mr Binyon needs to keep up.
The Russian lines will be less effective if the attacks come from the Crimean side.

Pretty poor analysis. Belorod attacks were the initiative of anti-putin militias. Ukraine strikes military and logistical targets in russia for very good reasons, which have nothing to do with Belgorod.
Perhaps acknowledge that targetting of each protagonist is very distinct: Ukraine stives to damage the russian military machine whilst russia pours its munitions into civil infrastructure.
There are clear differences between the targets of either side and the strategies involved. Western 'allies' are squeamish about strikes beyond the border with russia even though there would be no such limitations or concerns if they were themselves under such an attack.
Dry words. Understand the difference between Belgorod and Ukraine, military and logistics targets and civil targets, and sort out the status of Crimea - never 'Rus'ian', never the property of Moscovy (who style themselves Rus'ian and "russian").
Russia power infrastructure next
Lots of "socalled experts" from LONDONGRAD! ;-) But they did not wake up when the criminal OLIGARCHS with tight bond to a a war criminal and terrorist ruled the capital! At that time where very quiet - maby due to much alcohol consumption on the PUB which is not so good in order to evaluate the situation! But of course alcohol and money talks!
For the man power shortage I would say we all need to help Ukraine with technology as to offset the disparity, Ukraine needs to build massive fortified front lines which can keep the guys safe and then Ukraine should build extremely powerful bunkers behind those lines where they can house and protect battalions off the youngsters let’s say the 17 to 21 year olds who’s main job should be flying drones and using the technology which in turn will be used to protect the 29 to 39 year olds who’s main training in and job should be trench warfare defence and then 22 to 28 year olds can be trained as storm troops who can be used only to storm forwards to take positions once artillery units made up off 40 to 60s have worked and smashed the enemy with overwhelming constant attacks with high technology, and all other jobs which are far enough behind the lines such as building fortifications,digging trenches, building and repairing supply routes driving supply vehicles driving ambulances and taking care of the wounded can be done with women of all ages, even the really elderly woman and men and those with disabilities can help out even with just setting up sky watching units to look for Russian drones which they could call in, it’s time now for Ukraine to mobilise the whole population as they are facing a life and death situation, they should even start sending the 14 year old boys to start training in western countries now, that way they can be safe for years and have years of training so when they return to Ukraine when they are 17 they will have a better chance or they can do 18 months of training and return home but have the option to stay until 17
What "manpower shortage" are u talking about? Zelensky said there are only 35,000 ukrainian soldiers killed.

Russia can target any target on earth or low earth orbit. Good luck.
They do have the Manpower they're not conscripting any males from 18 to 27
Time for them to get serious
If rail was a good target it would have been hit already but its simply not what is stopping them from rerouting around broken rail till its fixed. It achieves nothing but a slight inconvenience vs better targets where they consider moving air defence off the front line in order to keep there assets safe. Rail is pointless. a waste of munition
You are obviously NOT Russian. The ONLY method transportation Russia has is RAIL There are NO roads. There are rivers, but they don't run the way Russia needs them to run. Without RAIL. Russia comes to a grinding halt. And oh by the way, rail has been hit before, repeatedly. The Russians put the highest priority in fixing their railways, but they are becoming less and less efficient in their repairs on a monthly basis..
What a windbag
Ukraine has lost the war. They should surrender to Russia and negotiate to get the little they can get.
Targeting railway lines and locomotives is a great idea. Locomotives are scarce and expensive.
Please note that repeating "Crimea has always been Russian....has always belonged to Russia......" is simply continually repeating a favorite phrase of Russian propaganda and spreading Russian propaganda. Crimea was annexed by the German Princess Sophie, better known as the Russian Czarina Catherine "the Great," who annexed Crimea in 1783 from the Ottoman Empire during the Crimean Wars. Crimea became part of the Ukrainian SSR in 1954. This is hardly a time span of 200 years. This does not make Crimea "always part of Russia or Russian." Prior to this Crimea was the homeland of the Crimean Tatars, the Ottoman Empire, the rule of Genghis Khan and the expanding empire of the Scythians......at all times with reciprocity of the culture of Kyivan Rus on the territory of Ukraine. This hardly makes Crimea part of Russia forever.......

Times radio giving Russia a heads up
Oh cool, i never get to speak about rail logistics. So here goes. Russia has coal and gas trains and a dedicated corps of engineers wing of their military dedicated to rail logistics that comes equipped with specialty equipment and shares the same gauge as ukraine does and russia can fix and repair huge amounts of damage very quickly.
Ukraine? They have a civil program running electric trains and dont share the same gauge with europe and can be attacked anywhere in the country at any time and might not be equipped to deal with it when this actually happens.
Who do you think is having the easier time out there?
Also russian equipment only has to go from moscow to eastern ukraine while ukraine has to bring all its kit all the way from the polish border.
OK, Mr. Russian troll. You surely know the distance from Moscow to the rail hub at Rostov on Don, don't you. Gosh, that's so much less distance than from Lviv to Kyiv isn't it? Yeah. Right. I'm sure that all of those specialist Russian repairman with the best reputations in the world at the start of the war are all still on the job, without any casualties at all. And then all those special spare parts, after over two years of war, the Russian factories are experts in turning out finely crafted parts, Heck, I swear by the one Russian car that I bought. Never any mechanical issues. Runs like a top. Never a problem getting parts. That's why every rich Russian from Putin on down drives a Russian luxury vehicle, no second rate Mercedes or other German vehicle for them!
And it's all Ukrainian propaganda about North Korea not being able to get its ammunition to Russia, because the Siberian railroad has been shut down for over a month.
Everything in Russia is the best of the best. That's why all of the oligarchs and their families buy Russian exclusively, their many mansions and yachts are all in Russia.
Why do.we have to hear these interviews twice during every video? I dont get why you repeat the stuff?

Train engines are custom made and take a long time to manufacture
Assuming that Russia still has the capacity to manufacture them at all
Russia relies on trains for logistics more than any other country
Ukraine has been beating up a much larger enemy for more than 2 years because they are fighting smart and taking out targets that actually matter
While Russia is shooting at schools, hospitals and churches trying to break the will of the Ukrainian people
All that they are doing is ticking the Ukrainians off

Dahh
Why do they reveal their forward tactics...seems odd. Or is this Times Radio fuelling the flames
It seems that telling the enemy what you are going to do at least a month in advance is the latest modern strategy.
This is a good overall but Mr Binyon is incorrect about Crimea ever having been a part of Ukraine. As an experienced journalist in the region he must be aware that the Kruschev administrative transfer of irrigation and forestry in Crimea to Kiev in the Ukraine SSR specifically excluded entry to military areas, ownership of land and travel rights without vetting and stated purpose being approved.
In any case the admin Bills never actually got through the Moscow Duma and were removed from the pending attention list by the Brezhnev-Kosygin administration.
After 1991 some travel rights were gradually given and holdings in especially the leisure industry permitted. However, Kiev had promised to observe the former autonomous republics within the former SSR as 'regions' or oblasts but, over time, Kiev removed autonomy and the case of Crimea attached the larger part of the peninsula to Kherson oblast. This was annexation by pen.
In subsequent elections (including 2014) Crimea voted to be an autonomous region of Russia but the Kiev Rada declared results as null.
The 2014 ballot only gave the vote to Ukrainians in Crimea and the result was still closer association with Russia than with Kiev rule. Supervision was by Swiss teams sent by a weak UN leader who gave greater responsibility to the OSCE. This was gross incompetence but typical of recent UN heads.
The 2014 did not suit Kiev and certainly not Washington which had been busy "buying" Kiev since Obama's first term. NATO and the EU obeyed the USA and the myth that Crimea was/is Ukrainian by right became established. Officially, the status is "disputed territory", therefore armed action (outwith Russia's military leases) against any assets legally there under lease counts as terrorism under the Bush-framed UN laws on terrorism.
Thus when UK SCALP/SS cruise missiles by Kiev and US HIMARS projectiles as well these were acts of terrorism and the donor countries should have withdrawn rights to fire with glaring clarity. The ambiguities about what weapons have been used over the Russian border demonstrate how clever Kiev has been in concealment.
The UMV attacks in Crimea and Crimea's EEZ, especially on vessels at moorings, are terrorist acts and also a massive breach of maritime law.
The attack on a Russian naval air base using cluster munitions could not have been carried out by Kiev but only by the USA which at that time still entertained the notion of using Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia, as articulated by L Austin and A Blinken. Attempts to edit this footage have not worked.
Attacking Russians behind their own lines, would turn Russians against Putin.
Your analysis is flawed
Why now, when they had 2 years time to do this.
