Only Crimea was remaining Russian without question (70% of Crimea is Russian anyway and they voted 93%majority to join Russia ). The Donbass situation could be discussed over a 15 year period subject to Ukraine becoming a Non NATO & neutral state.
Alexander, this analysis is so good. I had to back it up several times to understand the concepts because I want to understand. The way The Duran presents the material makes it not a chore to learn.
The Russians taking Iranian ballistic missiles could be to help the Iranians to demonstrate their ballistic missiles on real targets to make a statement to the Israelis and their backers.
'' A defeat for Ukraine is a defeat for NATO.'' ( Stoltenberg ). Is the humiliation of defeat for the West more unacceptable to them than the possibility of WWIII ?
Alexander's infamous "Escalation escalator"; the Collective West CANNOT accept the humiliation of losing to Russia, and so for them, escalation is the only way to their "entirely morally justified" victory. It is also a certain way to WW3, quite possibly of the nuclear variety.
"11400 elinated soldierd in Ukries side in a month." I'm not sure what he is talking about . Maybe UA losses in Kursk region since August 6th ?? OF course such RU MoD figures are greatly inflated (by five or six times or more) and make no sense since the UA side initially invaded Kursk region with maybe 10,000 men or less. They can't ALL be dead or wounded obviously....
@@JohnJohnson-n3n death throes - In the Kursk region, the forces of the Kyiv regime have begun to wind down their activities. As we expected, they left behind the trash caught in the 150th separate mechanized brigade to cover the withdrawal of the main forces, who are already actively being captured. The most unfortunate situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine has developed in the area of the village of Snagost, where the unit operating there was blocked and destroyed. There is not enough transport for everyone to escape to the Sumy region due to the huge losses of all types of equipment, so some of the Ukrainian servicemen went south on stolen bicycles. There is currently one well-known episode filmed from a UAV, and we are waiting for more to be published. But there is also good news for the Ukrainians - "Pyaterochka" in Sudzha is still under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They better not think about whether the created group of the Russian Armed Forces will follow in the footsteps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the Sumy region, where the Kiev regime is helping to create a buffer zone by evacuating the population.
You can't just slough off a massive invasion of another country over largely open borders on 2/24/22 quickly followed by the Bucha atrocities in March 2022 .....Saying false memes like "NATO Enlargement", "Nazis", and "the UA police did Bucha" doesn't help your case one bit...
Ukraine ceased to be a sovereign nation after the coup of 2014. Ukraine, that day, became another lapdog of the US...like all the European countries. In addition is not so keen in being split in seven or eight smaller nations and see the West steal their mineral resources.... Because that's the bottom line...that's what Wallstreet is salivating about since 1990. Is this so difficult to understand? US, is using Ukraine as a shushing boy.
@@TeunisMarinus Russia did not invade Ukraine, Ukraine stopped existing as a sovereign state after 2014 American backed and sponsored coup d'état. Russia invaded American proxy on its border

On the other hand, significant developments took place a series of kilometers south. During the last 48 hours Russian Army launched a counteroffensive from north & west that led to the recapture of the localities of Gordeevka, Viktorovka, Vnezapnoe, Byakhovo, Apanasovka & Krasnooktyabr'skoe. Combing operations are taking place now at the localities of Komarovka, Vishnevka & Snagost following the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces towards Obukhovka - At Sudzhansky district during the last 36 hours Russian forces managed to recapture the locality of Borki & forced Ukrainian troops to withdraw from Spal'noe.
Netanyahu is a political survivor, he knows what he is doing. That does not make it right, just saying that it serves his interests. Zelensky has survived longer than I would have expected, but one can feel the heat.
Why doesn't Russia announce that for each missile from the US or UK lands in a city or town of Russia, Russia will send one right back to a city or town of Britain or US?
I absolutely agree with you. The statement would be something like " any attempt to attack the Russian federation by NATO supplied long range missles will be considered an act of war. Such an attack will elicit an immediate retaliation on that NATO country. It will be our determination that these weapons were launched by military officers of that NATO country on the express orders of said government. We reserve the right to retaliate against these NATO nations with any missles at our disposal up to and including nuclear weapons. Let's see how they like that.
@@TheTruth-vi1nf Russia did claim that, when they attempt to stop NATO weapons and supplies from going to Ukraine. They claimed they would intercept these supplies inside of NATO countries if need be, which they never did since that would be war with NATO.
Like the westerners preached in Kosovo, "the right to self determination" regarding the albanians persuit of severing ties (politically,culturally and geographically) with Serbia. The Russians argue the same point regarding the Ukrainian regime persecution of the ethnic Russians in the east and Crimea. Further, the albanians in Kosovo never had a referendum to seperate from Serbia. Referendum: a democratic process by the way. Yet, in the Donbass, Lugansk and Crimea all held referendums that resulted in the majority not wanting to remain part of Ukraine.
The finding of the International Court of Justice on Kosovo is also relevant. The court found that there was no impediment under International Law for a recognizable group to declare independence and secede from a country without the permission of the central Government. Donbass did exactly that. Once independent, there is of course the ability to ask for assistance from whomever they choose.

They are anglosaxon colonies.

Great work
Allowing ukraine/nato to maintain control of Odessa after the conflict will be a huge strategic mistake by Russia
From a historic and culttural standpoint, Russsia not taking Odesssa would be bizarrre.
Russian Federation must take Odessa!!
@@ralph95 All very well to say it. But how would Russia take Odessa pray tell ??
Russia will not surrender Odessa and the Black Sea. It would be another American Great Lake
@@darrylboone4658 The Russians already surrendered the Western Black Sea to Ukrainian trade. The RU Fleet fled Crimea. As for Odessa its in UA hands and the RU have bombed the place over 2+ years. Do you think after that experience the locals in Odessa are going to welcome Russian troops ?? IF so I have a bridge over the Moscow River to sell you near the Kremlin. The one on which Boris Nemtsov, was killed on...
Thank you from Winnipeg Canada
Thank you
GOOD REPORT AND ANALYSIS. THANK YOU MERCOURIS.
Russia has the right to defend themselves
So does Ukraine - from Russian conquest and occupation!
But FAILED in Kursk Putin is WEAK. Putin left shaken after Ukraine carries out aerial bombardment on Moscow.
@@TeunisMarinus Ukrainians got driven out from many towns today in Kursk relax
@@TeunisMarinus In the Kursk direction, the Russian Armed Forces launched a counterattack on one of the front sections, liberating two settlements in less than a day and starting fighting in at least two more. Some of the AFU units in the area were under threat of encirclement, while the advanced groups of Russian troops continue to advance both to the south and to the east
@@TeunisMarinus your Biden is weak. Shulz, Macron, Clown der Lyan are weak. Chek reality
Afterward, Lavrov has to explain to India & Brazil that you wear your _under_ under your pants, and that rain is wet. Sadly both countries reps just couldn't get it.

Not true.
@@Michiel_de_JongI saw David Arakhamia on Ukrainian 1+1 TV last summer state that the Ankora 2022 peace agreement was a great and fair agreement. Only Crimea was remaining Russian without question
(70% of Crimea is Russian anyway and they voted 93%majority to join Russia ). The Donbass situation could be discussed over a 15 year period subject to Ukraine becoming a Non NATO & neutral state.
Who's that, your mother? 😂😂
Alexander, this analysis is so good. I had to back it up several times to understand the concepts because I want to understand. The way The Duran presents the material makes it not a chore to learn.
I like the dark green Duran polo shirt, Alexander. The polo is a better look for you than the T, the sweatshirt or the hoodie.

The Russians taking Iranian ballistic missiles could be to help the Iranians to demonstrate their ballistic missiles on real targets to make a statement to the Israelis and their backers.
Yup every one’s like “ test mine too” 😂
Ukraine is the current "ultimate test bed", which gives credence to the claims that NK too may also be trialling their latest weapon systems.
the very idea, the gall, that Brazil,of all totalitarian hell holes, would dare to make suggestions to anyone!
Exactly
Kursk region:
It is reported that Russian forces also cleared Snagost.
Ukrainian forces retreated to Obukhovka and Lyubimovka.
'' A defeat for Ukraine is a defeat for NATO.'' ( Stoltenberg ).
Is the humiliation of defeat for the West more unacceptable to them than the possibility of WWIII ?
I guess US and UK bases, military infrastructure, factories, inventories etc. are now in play! Blowback will be horrendous.
Nothing will happen. putin does not have the spine.
Alexander's infamous "Escalation escalator"; the Collective West CANNOT accept the humiliation of losing to Russia, and so for them, escalation is the only way to their "entirely morally justified" victory. It is also a certain way to WW3, quite possibly of the nuclear variety.
Great commentary
Alexander is the BEST analyst i know
11400 elinated soldierd in Ukries side in a month.
Horrific.
Order given to the Ukraine army hold to last man
Cope harder Comrade.
@@TeunisMarinus NAFO bots are trying to form the word "fine" from the letters f.a.i.l, commenting Kursk failure
"11400 elinated soldierd in Ukries side in a month." I'm not sure what he is talking about . Maybe UA losses in Kursk region since August 6th ?? OF course such RU MoD figures are greatly inflated (by five or six times or more) and make no sense since the UA side initially invaded Kursk region with maybe 10,000 men or less. They can't ALL be dead or wounded obviously....
@@JohnJohnson-n3n death throes - In the Kursk region, the forces of the Kyiv regime have begun to wind down their activities. As we expected, they left behind the trash caught in the 150th separate mechanized brigade to cover the withdrawal of the main forces, who are already actively being captured. The most unfortunate situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine has developed in the area of the village of Snagost, where the unit operating there was blocked and destroyed.
There is not enough transport for everyone to escape to the Sumy region due to the huge losses of all types of equipment, so some of the Ukrainian servicemen went south on stolen bicycles. There is currently one well-known episode filmed from a UAV, and we are waiting for more to be published.
But there is also good news for the Ukrainians - "Pyaterochka" in Sudzha is still under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They better not think about whether the created group of the Russian Armed Forces will follow in the footsteps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the Sumy region, where the Kiev regime is helping to create a buffer zone by evacuating the population.
Good day as always 😊
It is sad that after 2 years, Russia still has to explain themselves to both enemy and friend.
With friends like that who needs enemies!!!!
There is no explaining about the legality of illegally invading a Sovereign Nation of Ukraine.
You can't just slough off a massive invasion of another country over largely open borders on 2/24/22 quickly followed by the Bucha atrocities in March 2022 .....Saying false memes like "NATO Enlargement", "Nazis", and "the UA police did Bucha" doesn't help your case one bit...
Ukraine ceased to be a sovereign nation after the coup of 2014.
Ukraine, that day, became another lapdog of the US...like all the European countries.
In addition is not so keen in being split in seven or eight smaller nations and see the West steal their mineral resources....
Because that's the bottom line...that's what Wallstreet is salivating about since 1990.
Is this so difficult to understand?
US, is using Ukraine as a shushing boy.
@@TeunisMarinus Russia did not invade Ukraine, Ukraine stopped existing as a sovereign state after 2014 American backed and sponsored coup d'état. Russia invaded American proxy on its border
As always Alexander your assesment is spot on
Hopefully no one asks Lammy if he will recognise Russian sovereignty over Rostov and Voronezh!
Many many thanks to Mr Mercouris for this extraordinary and wiseful reflexions on the delicete moment that the world conmunity is feelind about the possible outcome in the nesr future of the war and negotiations for peace

I saw some channels and some of my other sources indicate this but not all. I will wait until this is confirmed by some of my really trusted sources. Usually the more reliable sources are a little delayed, probably to verify facts.
@@TheTruth-vi1nf Suriyak maps - Situation on Kursk front:
- At Korenevsky district Ukrainian Army made small advances north of Matveeka entering again in Vetreno. On the other hand, significant developments took place a series of kilometers south. During the last 48 hours Russian Army launched a counteroffensive from north & west that led to the recapture of the localities of Gordeevka, Viktorovka, Vnezapnoe, Byakhovo, Apanasovka & Krasnooktyabr'skoe. Combing operations are taking place now at the localities of Komarovka, Vishnevka & Snagost following the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces towards Obukhovka
- At Sudzhansky district during the last 36 hours Russian forces managed to recapture the locality of Borki & forced Ukrainian troops to withdraw from Spal'noe.
thank you Mr Mercouris

Zelenski is as nefariously stubborn as Netanyahu.
Well of course there brother’s…
They are from the same people.
Netanyahu is a political survivor, he knows what he is doing. That does not make it right, just saying that it serves his interests. Zelensky has survived longer than I would have expected, but one can feel the heat.
typical for ego entities lost in mental narratives.

Bravo, Alexander
Why doesn't Russia announce that for each missile from the US or UK lands in a city or town of Russia, Russia will send one right back to a city or town of Britain or US?
I absolutely agree with you. The statement would be something like " any attempt to attack the Russian federation by NATO supplied long range missles will be considered an act of war. Such an attack will elicit an immediate retaliation on that NATO country. It will be our determination that these weapons were launched by military officers of that NATO country on the express orders of said government. We reserve the right to retaliate against these NATO nations with any missles at our disposal up to and including nuclear weapons. Let's see how they like that.
@@TheTruth-vi1nf Glad you guys aren’t making the decisions! 🤪😂
@@TheTruth-vi1nf Russia did claim that, when they attempt to stop NATO weapons and supplies from going to Ukraine. They claimed they would intercept these supplies inside of NATO countries if need be, which they never did since that would be war with NATO.
From Terence Wise in UK….Your assessment is totally spot on.
To be fair brazil is fairly irrelevant and lula is also cooperating with us attenots to ourst maduro
Maduro did steal the election. That's pretty obvious...
Where were India and Brazil when Ukraine and the so-called west rejected Minsk 1 and 2 and Istanbul agreements?
Perhaps India and Brazil could spend some time chirping at the Americans and call them out for this whole mess. I won’t hold my breath.
Where is little Napoleon? We have not had many statements from him about Ukraine for quite a while. 😂😂
His mummy wife daddy grounded him, “not tonight Emanuelle, have you seen my whip you naughty boy?”
Indeed, he's busy fighting off the French people with regards to corrupt French elections, off to the Bastille with him lol.
He’s too busy screwing the people.
he is sorting the black bags they send him.😊
So basically Lavrov told to the Indians and the Brazilians to shove it!
That's my take on it
Yep.
He did but in a masterful and diplomatic way! 😊
For sure kind of like Ukraine would tell the West to shove it, Very diplomatic indeed.
@@jameshufstetler3788 For sure kind of like Ukraine would tell the West to shove it, Very diplomatic indeed.
Like the westerners preached in Kosovo, "the right to self determination" regarding the albanians persuit of severing ties (politically,culturally and geographically) with Serbia.
The Russians argue the same point regarding the Ukrainian regime persecution of the ethnic Russians in the east and Crimea.
Further, the albanians in Kosovo never had a referendum to seperate from Serbia.
Referendum: a democratic process by the way.
Yet, in the Donbass, Lugansk and Crimea all held referendums that resulted in the majority not wanting to remain part of Ukraine.
The finding of the International Court of Justice on Kosovo is also relevant. The court found that there was no impediment under International Law for a recognizable group to declare independence and secede from a country without the permission of the central Government. Donbass did exactly that. Once independent, there is of course the ability to ask for assistance from whomever they choose.
The video has only been posted three minutes ago, but I am going to comment as if I know everything Alexander said....
Go on. Bye bye 😂
Really lol, jog on.
I don't know where you live Alexander but it is better for you if you keep away from London and other places where there are military settlements for the coming weeks...

Hats off once again Mr honourable Mercouris.
Boy George Bush once made a statement, and it went like this "we don't negotiate with terrorists". That was the US policy after 9/11.
How can terrorists negotiate with themselves?
@@JohnGeary-e9e Those who control the "Rules-Based Order" are the ones who decide who is, and who isn't a terrorist (only their view counts).

As if the UK isn't a big enough laughing stock already they are now going to parade that imbecile on the international stage. I have never been more ashamed and embarrassed about my country. 🤡🤡
On the topic of Iran giving missiles to Russia, it's possible that they're testing how Iranian missiles perform against Western air defenses in Ukraine.
God you just have to respect Lavarov😂
Agreeing to unconditional surrender is not "negotiation", Alexander.
