- "Some units that were defending Pokrovsk have been moved to other places and they haven't been used again yet. We don't know where they're going to be used, you know, is there a trap line for the Russians?."
Putin's grinding push towards Pokrovsk could prove to be a make or break moment for his ground offensives, The Times' Maxim Tucker tells Frontline on #timesradio

You can sit and surmise what’s going to happen but in reality you don’t know do you
Well obviously. He is laying out possible scenarios. Some might come to fruition, some not. If he knew what was going to happen I'd turn in a lottery ticket if I were him.
Nobody knows what the future brings.
But it is nice to hear this gentleman's view.
I know. Ukraine loses 100% of the positions it tries to hold. So it will continue to fail 100% of the time.
The Donbas will fall. That gives Russia a clean run to the Dnipro.
They'll take the Donbas and push on to the river. They'll speak of this as being a good time to negotiate but they will not agree to a ceasefire. Ukraine won't negotiate so they'll; lose everything up to the river.
Then things'll get interesting. How will they cross the Dnipro?
@@markbryant4641 But in reality you don't know, do you?
@@feonor26. I'm pretty confident about my prediction.
I hear ya, but all indications point to the Donbas falling. There's no way to stop Russia so it's inevitable.
This Guy makes it sound easy.
Obviously he's not paying close attention to what's actually happening.

Delusional. This people don’t understand the difference between an Holiwood movie and the reality.
If magnus carlsen was sober and did journalism
If Putin valued Crimea he should not have rocked the boat.
Now he will probably lose it.
Crimea Voted 3 times to join Russia, it was Russi, people are Russian, so it is Russian
@@ButlerProspect Russians don't even get a democratic vote in their own country. They aren't to let Crimeans have one.
@@ButlerProspect Only when they had Russian guns pointed at them.
@@evaluateanalysis7974not even you believe that nonsense.
Crimea is Ukranian. It was invaded and there was no vote until the Russians held them by gunpoint.
Would destroying the Kerch bridge adversely affect the success of the Russian soldiers presently becoming a threat?
Not at all. It's a symbolic fixation.
And it can't be destroyed. It's too big. It can be put out of action for a time but there's no way to drop it. It's nearly 20km in length.
They have a land bridge so the bridge is virtually obsolete now
Send Tump over there...

Since Russia/Ukraine and now Israel conflict, I never knew that there was so many experts in this world.😊
yes, there are more and more military experts and generals... especially those who participated in the bombing in Iraq...
Ukraine will be returned to Ukraine either now or in future years.
Dream on what Russia took its hers as Kosovo belongs to Serbia Russia is going to keep marching on and on
Maybe…once again, none of us can accurately predict the future
Ukraine WILL be split up at the end of all this. They will all blame each other for their predicament.
30-40 % of Ukraine speak Russian and those areaswill join Russia
The brother of Magnus Carlsen 😂
"If" so far he takes and absolutely does nothing with it because he has no support system.
Riiiiiiiiiight. Who the F is this Rommel? 😂
So? You giving advice to the civilian mass murderers?
This kid, some aspiring actor reading a script, obviously prepared by Warpigs, Inc., of which he has no clue about the subject or even where Ukraine is located.

This is as dodgy as The Telegraph...
Probably would be more interesting and understandable if a map were shown, instead of just a giant talking head. Way to go on this low budget production!

this guy is delusional...ukraine has already collapsed...
It is you who is delusional. You have no idea of what Russia has already lost. When this putin fiasco is over, Ukraine will rebuild with the full support of all free nations of the world. Who will help russia? No one.
Russophobes are a very optimistic bunch. Shame!!😂😂😂@@stephensuddick1896
For a "collapsed" country Ukraine is killing a lot of Russian imerialists! The mighty Russian military is barely existing any more. Even IF they succeed in collapsing Ukraine, no one will take Russias military strength seriously any more for decades to come.
The astounding reality the Western Client media doesn't want you to hear.
Ukraine has lost 646 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 33,335 unmanned aerial vehicles, 582 anti-aircraft missile systems, 18,560 tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles, 1,469 MLRS combat vehicles, 15,908 field artillery guns and mortars, and 27,098 units of support military vehicles
750,000 Ukrainian men have died
Russia continues to advance.
One should remain skeptical when reviewing the war data. Neither side is going to release the true number of loses and inform their adversary. Those numbers are a guess…at best. It’s not reliable info…even if one wishes it to be correct
You appear to have got Ukraine and Russia confused. Those are much closer to Russian losses. It's not possible to destroy what Ukraine has never had. Destroying 5x as many planes, 8x as many tanks and artillery, 3x as many mlrs, etc than Ukraine has ever had is a fairytale. Dream on Comrade.
PS: if Ukraine had lost half the amount of casualties as Russia has, the illegal War would have ended by early 2023 at the latest. But Ukraine is still killing and wounding approximately 35,000 Russians per month and destroying arms depots, artillery, APVs and IFVs, and fuel depots even in Russia at record levels. The old Soviet stocks are almost gone. Why is Russia relying on North Korea for equipment and munitions? Golf buggies and motorbikes don't protect barely trained Russian troops.
How's the Economy going? Won't last much longer. All Ukraine has to do is keep their losses far lower than Russian ones. Might be 2025 or possibly 2026 but it is collapsing. But you'll deny the truth because you only see Russian lies.
Wow! A truly astonishing imagination! 😂
Another great British strategist like the ones who helped plan the Kursk operation and the rest of this entire war exposing the utter ineptness of British military planners.
Russia will win eventually
Russia already lost. They achieved almost nothing other than depleting their stockpiles from the cold war and weaken their military immensely.
Now they are the lap dog of China and have to beg for weapons in Iran and North Corea.
But yes, they also weakened Ukraine immensely. Which will bring Russia absolutely nothing.
Zelensky is still recruiting why don't u join
That is one scenario... Or it will be something else, but in all scenarios Russia is winning.
Two & a half years later & you reckon Russia is still winning?😂 What have they won, if they're 'still winning'??
@@johnormsby2034. They're absolutely winning. They've nearly exhausted the available military stocks of the entire western world.
Remember, this is attrition. Not territory. They'll take whatever territory they want during the negotiations.
@@johnormsby2034 Winning not won. The Russian victory is inevitable though, just look at the maps of where Ukraine used to be. Ukraine can't even stop Russia gaining more territory, let alone win back the territory already taken. It's just getting worse and worse for them, especially since the fall of Pokrosvk is inevitable and is a key hub for transport etc.
@@scottseedell238Ok, let us address the grammar part of my comment, which you seem to have a problem with. You stated it's 'Winning, Not Won ! My comment was 'What have they won, if they are still winning'?
Should it have been "What have they winning, if they are still winning"?
Hmmmmmm
@@scottseedell238 As for Russia eventually triumphing? Nearly 3 yrs since Putin's SMO & it's going nowhere! Oh sorry, Ukraine has invaded Russia & Kursk is now in Zelensky's pocket👍
Don't live in phantasy land. Ukraine and NATO lost the war. It's time to return back to reality.
Learn to spell - bot...
Go grab your rubles kid.
Lol wait till you're called up, Vlad. NATO isn't even fighting 😂
Sure Vlad,sure !
how the f.. do you know
He doesnt. He lays out possible scenarios.
@@feonor26 like the other half million witch doctors out there, if reading the news makes me an expert or what,
@@Akubra123 Some people have had more precise predictions than others.
Russia should be able to keep their occupied region of the Donbas and the remaining portion of Ukraine should be able to join NATO
It wasn't "full scale". A full scale war would have played out very differently.
Ukraine fails. One by one they lose their positions. The Donbas will be lost to Russia. That will mean Russia can move quickly to the Dnipro. There's nothing like the fortified areas of the Donbas to hold Russia back. Ukraine is losing positions quicker all the time.
This is just wrong. Ukraine is losing positions, yes, but they actually slowd down Russian advance lately. And mud season is quickly approaching.
This year was pure defense posture - mainly b/c there was insufficient support from the west - but they made the best out of it: the Russian imperialists paid a very high price for their advances. Most of their equipment is gone, and the warehouses from the cold war they relied upon the last 2 years almost empty. IF Ukraine can summon enough weapons, 2025 may be the year to counterattack an immensely weakened russian army.
And no, I'm not saying that they can retake all that gone land by force, but they may be able to achieve a partial collaps in russian army, and this again could lead to a 1917 situation where Putin may "fall out of a window". Who knows, history is not written yet.
@@thomaslilly5834. You're not actually disagreeing with me, Thomas.
The imperialists are taking 100% of their targets.
Hoping Putin dies is not a strategy.
Ukraine changed their strategy this week. They now are saying their strategy is to retreat slowly at as big a cost as possible to Russia. This is a back peddling form of attrition. Up to now they've tried to push Russia back or hold onto positions.
They're losing the Donbas. It's unstoppable.
@@thomaslilly5834. No offence, Thomas but you're hoping for something there is no evidence of.
In fact it's the opposite.
@@markbryant4641 Russian advance at Prokovsk has been slowed down significantly.
All fronts report that Russian attacks are weaker and less frequent in last 2 weeks.
They still advance, but there is no sign of an imminent total breakdown of Ukraine.
All the rest I am saying are of course hopes. I do not know the future. A lot depends on the West. But it's a fact that the Russian army starts having a lot of problems, even though they STILL have much more material.
@@thomaslilly5834. Once again, Thomas, with all respect Russia is taking very important positions at an ever faster rate all the time.
It makes perfect sense. Ukraine is running out of gear. Remember that this is an attritional war from Russia's perspective. They're winning. A territorial war from Ukraine's perspective. They're losing. And an economic war from Ukraine's sponsors perspective. They're losing.
The Donbas is a wall. A very, very heavily fortified region. There's nothing else like it in Ukraine.
Miles to go but yet realistically begining of 2025 to take the city.Then they are behind Ukraine's main defensive belts north and south. Kharkiv was foolish move other than disrupting a new front.
