- Upgraded ATACMS missiles in the US aid package to Ukraine could present a big threat to Putin after Russian defences' past failures on stopping older model missiles from wreaking havoc in Crimea, says Illia Ponomarenko from @kyivindependent and author of I WILL SHOW YOU HOW IT WAS

"Wasted a lot of time....." and a damn lot of Ukranian lives !
Absolutely. I'll never forgive the American Right for this.
When will GLSDB arrive?
@@Dasycottusamerican right 🙄😂
The West demanded Zelensky not sign a peace deal in March 2022. THAT is what cost "a damn lot" Ukrainian lives.
And you gave what? Nothing of course
Ukraine should have had 300 kilometer ATACMS and fully trained F16 pilots and F16s a year ago if not 2.
Would have, should have,could have. The US and the west had to be sure Ukraine wasn't another Afghanistan that could stand on its own two feet
if/when western aid was cut before making the multi billion dollar investment in it's defense. Ukraine has proven it can fight,so it gets the aid.
If Ukrainian actually trained own people before this war and actually paid military supplies it be great
Unfortunately Ukraine was too corrupt before the war to take advantage of any US military help
@@TheLAGopher If the Biden Dept. of Defense had known the first thing about the Ukrainian character, there would never have been any doubt about Ukraine's ability to fight off the orc invasion.
@@TheLAGopher The security treaty Ukraine made with the US and the UK, in which they gave up their nukes in exchange for security, was completely disregarded by Obama, among other presidents but most vividly by Obama. Trump toyed with Ukraine over weapons transfers. Ukraine has never been "Afghanistan" or similar to Afghanistan. Western countries have been asleep at the wheel since 2014.
Thank Fluck the Military kit is on the way, it's about time. We had a power cut in Hackney (Only 30 minutes) on the 11th of April. It made me think about Ukraine, about how much we need power for everything, Heating and food. Especially when it is freezing cold. Bombing power stations is an evil act.
Diane Abbott is an evil act..
ukraine represents our peaceful way of life to an extent , as much extent as poland or estonia greece and albainia etc and by far more open than hungry or serbia , point to note fashist dictatorships have a puin type self focused tyranical paranoid murderous child abusing caricature who han not many allies that are unlike him in his and thier ways andhe has no allies with a conscience, ukraine has a comedian who has had to portray himself as his carature then reinact the whole thing but this time for real and to add to that be heroic for real and do the impossible (almost ) and stop an invader maurauding and destoying his country and population then expel them , he is succeeding with the unity aid of good countrys , without zelensky and his begging for aid , the land would be destroyed and claimed russian already and poland and estonia would be invaded or on red alert at point of readyness due to nato pact insurance, the future is being fought for now , slava ukraine

Current arms deliveries will be good enough to hold back the Orks and it gives Europe a time span to rebuild the military industrial complex they dismantled since WW2. Without the Americans, Europe would have a serious problem. These artillerie shells and the fighter jets will make a difference in the summer, and they already can shoot more shells now they know more arms are being delivered
Now it is time for Europe to step up....this buys Ukraine some time, hopefully Europe can get their Artillery and other armaments production going at a useful pace.

You are right, promised military equipment will be good enough to hold back the Orks and it gives Europe a time span to rebuild the military industrial complex they dismantled since WW2.

It must be acknowledged that in addition to the resiliance of the Ukrainians it their president, President Zelensky that was role model of bravery and patriotism that held them together and gave them the courage to fight. He was offered a flight to safety and assilim but he decided to stay and fight with his people.
Bravo President Zelensky 👍🇺🇦👍
Russia could have killed him if they wanted. The fact that they didn't shows they are happy to have such a clown leading their opponents.
His words, "I need ammunition, not a ride." are immortal now, and the vision I have, in the first hours of the invasion, when he and his cabinet were in the streets of Kyiv at night while the city was being bombed, broadcasting a message to the people of Ukraine to stand and fight is seared into my memory!!!
Ukraine lucked out having a leader like him at a most crucial stage in history when the country faced an existential threat!
A true global hero!!!
Love the Ukrainian perspective. Sounds like a Free People fighting to stay free. It is truly a crime to delay or deny them resources to WIN.
Agreed. It is a crime to deny Ukraine the resources to win. However you need to define what winning is and that has not been done yet. Is Russia leaving Ukraine with the means to come back winning? Ask Chechnya if that is winning. I fall under the camp of destroying Russia's ability to conduct war as winning. Then Russia cannot come back. That takes time though and will cost lives, both Russian and Ukrainian. The first thing I suppose is to decide what winning is. This is something that needs to be done and hasn't been done yet. So far the goal has been for Ukraine to survive. That has been done. Now the goal is to win.
I never heard something nonsense like this , do you realise thousands of Ukraine have fled and still got loads leave the country, free people do you realise there got drag in vehicles put in the military , none Ukraine want to fight , it crime that Zelensky and the Ukrainian rich people not ones using own money for military supplies it also a crime Ukrainian people steal money fund and military supplies, Ukraine can’t win this war why you lie to your self

Thank you for a very interesting and truthful discussion on the war.
Nice to hear Illia's voice. I've followed him on twitter for over two years now. He doesn't work at the Kyiv independent anymore.
Just met him...I appreciate that he gives a more nuanced look at what the Ukrainians are dealing with.
Ukraine does have American support. America is a democracy where two parties do battle and eventually, after trying everything else, does the right thing (eventually). Don't be so quick to throw shade, we have our problems at home to deal with besides trying to fund the forces of democracy worldwide.
This is true, however, we have also manned the defense of Europe as the leader of NATO and there is only one country that has made that neccessary for 75 years since WWII: Russia. For republicans to not only not understand this, but to actually regurgitate Russian talking points makes me sick to my stomach. They don't deserve the rights our democracy affords them.
@@VersinKettorix It's time for Europe to step up and start getting serious about their own safety and security. We (the USA) have been keeping Europe stable and safe for 70+ years now. We don't mind helping but we have been supplying a majority of support and we aren't even in Europe. STEP IT UP... TODAY.
@@VersinKettorix You're right, but thankfully enough Republicans know the reality of the situation and are willing to ignore Russian propaganda.
No, we SHOULD throw shade. If shade wasn't being thrown, there wouldn't be aid right now being given. Trump and his cronies who bent over backwards to appease him are traitors to their own nation and almost allowed a tyrant to defeat a democracy despite it being in America's interest to ensure the tyrant is defeated.
@@TheBandit7613Lol Europe has given more aid combined than America by itself so yeah, we already have, thanks.
Excellent.
Very good! Slava Ukraini🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Just listen to the words of Illia Ponomarenko. They are full of truth, reality ... and also hope. Illia you are truly a good soul and I am with you.
good commentary
Escalation management is the same as appeasement. Peace through strength. Terrorists do not understand anything else.
That is why Russia had to fight back against American imperialism.
@@michaelh878When Russia invades a sovereign country in an attempt to conquer or destroy it, calling it American imperialism is the height of stupidity or perhaps willful ignorance.
@@jefferyshute6641 It is neither trying to conquer nor destroy it and if you don't think there would have been an American naval base in Crimea if Russia did nothing then I have bridge to sell you.

The US and Europe should be sending aid at the same time. Imagine the US and Europeans giving 61bn each at the same time. The amount of resource would be overwhelming for Russia and make them worry.
It's happening this year with US $61 billion in aid, EU passing $57 billion to Ukraine to run the government and pay the soldiers. Plus we have the European nations providing weapons. US will communicate with European nations and Ukraine to figure what weapons who is going to provide.
US should be talking with the other Western nations and come with a goal on how to defeat Russia in Ukraine.
It's highly coordinated. You can't just pile in 60+billion worth of stuff in one go. Logistically it's a huge task, and I'm fairly certain they're delivering it at the fastest pace Ukraine can handle it.
Corruption and misuse of the money is one of the important considerations that holds the Money in debate.
This is a perfect opportunity for the European military industrial complex to develop a strong military and be a real ally of the US, with weapons that can protect the western hemisphere and make NATO even stronger. Germany and France are finally realizing they must allocate long term budgets to rebuild the military industrial complex

Germany and France will follow suit. Don't even have to talk about the UK , they have been stellar from the start of this.
the US has severe weapons shortages
Russia has effective shovels
Amazing people, the Ukrainians. HEROIC!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your updates James. Very much appreciate the effort you pour into your vlogs! Thank God we don't have your walrus any more who forgets he's in front of a camera and keeps starring at his feet! Slava Ukraini!
Europe learned that they were not militarily ready to help Ukraine. Another large US aid bill may not happen again. But Europe can easily take our (US) place IF THEY PREPARE NOW.
They made the arrangement on the house floor...you can be a Churchill or a chamberlain.
Thank you very much Illia for giving to us your extraordinary insights about what is currently going on inside Ukraine. The brave people of Ukraine deserve the full and unfettered support from the entire civilized world. Ukraine will most definitely win this war!🇺🇦🇺🇸✌️
Australia// Thank you Times Radio. There are a LOT of 'us' out here-united and motivated, fund raising and united in a 'kind of a community'- with the pro-Ukrainian YT reporters like Jack Broe, Georgis of Ukraine Matters, Denys Davidov, Artur Rehi, Fellas of NAFO and quite a number of others who have united us (reasonably accidentally) We fund raise for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and so, are totally engaged in enthusiasm for Ukraine's victory- after all, Ukraine fights for ALL OF US. Its a great community. We also lobby our country's politicians to boost aid to Ukraine. I recommend folk to watch 'WINTER ON FIRE'- to understand why Ukraine needs our support.
No the new bill has long range attack of missiles this ain't the cluster ones this is the ones that will reach that cry me and Bridge and all points in Crimea
A moral injection!
Very inspiring interview!
Thanks for sharing!
Letting Ukraine lose this war be a regrettable mistake which will cost much.
Europe has the most at risk if Ukraine loses. Europe should be doing the most not America.
sad times for everyone 😢
Good times for humans and democracy, REALLY bad times for Putin and his orc army.
America will always do the right thing after all other options have been exhausted.
It falls to the US because Europe drops the ball. Remember 1917 and the 1930s?

And who the f*ck are you? What have YOU done?
😂
so naive... many americans care much more about how they are going to make their next paycheck be enough to feed thier kids or pay the light bill... Not thinking about Ukraine... These people put pressure on their elected officials to not give anyone money... They think Ukraine is a very corrupt country and much of the aid gets stolen or mismanaged.. It's always out fault and they are ungratefull... is why the aid took so long ... So shut up and just say thank you and aid would flood in..
You are looking very smart James.
Slava Ukraine!
Go fight for Ukrainian
These should have been provided since Spring 2022.
By Europe.
380 billion dollars was provided since 2021 to Ukraine. Wake up.
Only the courage and motivation of the Ukrainian armed forces have been able to slow down Russia's advances down to a trickle and at immense cost in men and equipment to them. Once the many elements of the aid package arrive, Russia's meat wave attacks will become unsustainable. Currently they are only possible due to the shortage of ammunition.
It also is a big deal that Ukraine passed a conscription act to both expand its armed forces and provide retotions and relief for it front line troops.
What Ukraine should do is encourage the millions of Ukrainian women who have feld to Poland and other NATO countries,to return home and
work in war industries to free up men for frontline service. Those women with children should still return and relocate them to western Ukraine.
All the war material in the world won't make any difference if Ukraine doesn't maximize its human resources.
Nonsense
Ukrainians are the most dedicated country in the world. The most unified in the world and the bravest people
its about time they sent Ukraine weapons to fight Russia with maximum results where are the F16's
Smart interview!
Mr. Ponomarenko gives unpleasant but quite realistic analysis of the situation!
yes
Both parties are corrupt here in the USA but at least we got aid to Ukraine. It is now up to Europe to prepare for the long haul as if Don gets elected, I doubt any more aid will get there. But 60 bil should carry Ukraine until Europe can ramp up...IF they do. Slava Ukraine
It was one party that was stalling Ukraine aid for six months. The Republicans and Donald Trump. It is vitally important that he loses in November, or he will halt all Ukraine aid.
Trump was not against this latest injection of cash for Ukraine. He didn't try to stop it. And the very reason it's hard to get things thru us what keeps the US stable. Drastic changes are just not possible. Be happy we don't agree on anything, it keeps us free and it's good for stability.
Well if "Don" don't get elected there likely won't be an America to give anyone anything. We have those already 20 million illegals to pay for that YOU clowns allowed in... another 4 years of Biden and that number will be 60 million illegals to pay for. Where do you think the money comes from with our already 33 TRILLION Debt?
Yes. Time for Europe to step up big time. It is their butts on the line after all. If they don't then they can get what they get trying to rely on American taxpayers' money. We should have the same social programs and medical programs that they do but we don't becuase we spend far too much on our military and this military aid for others who don't do what they should be doing.
Try to get past the false equivalency. Know the difference between merely bad and absolutely terrible.
So grateful the aid package by the US has been granted to the fine, heroic people of Ukraine . One can just hope that the aid arrived asap.
American here, I certainly don't feel the same way and am quite upset that we are wasting our tax dollars and weapons in Ukraine, they aren't our Allie, responsibility or our problem.
Tanks, F16s, ATACMS..

I am looking forward to visit a free Ukraine in the near future. Meanwhile, the whole sane world has to help with what they can....!
Yes the BOTs claims this will last forever, but the Russian economy will not. They are currently digging deep into the money set aside for pensions. After that they will have a tanking economy and little to no exports. By 2026-27 they will have to fight with sticks and stones.
*Illia deserves an award for his work, like a Pulitzer!*
The Europeans should give the Ukrainians ALL their stockpiles. The only reason they need them is for deterrence against Russian aggression. They don’t need deterrence once Russia is defeated.
“Americans will always do the right thing, after exhausting all the alternatives “.
Europe's turn.
That's one of the stupidest statements he ever made. Europeans constantly at war somewhere on their continent. And America must run to their side. The Marshall Plan rebuilt Europe and still so many there forget the sacrifices Americans made for them. And they care not for the internal problems we have. They just wake up from a long sleep and realize how little they were concerned for their own defense and now they criticize.You all should look in the mirror and ask yourselves why. Now you got more you can ease up. Go back to sleep.

Your historic allies will never trust the US again if Trump returns. His second term would destroy the NATO alliance.
all it would normally take to end this discussion would be going over the industrial outputs of the west and comparing them to russia but nobody on this feed is ever going to do that.
Nato is not at war. Sorry.
@@stephenlyon1358 i dont think the russians are going to remember it that way when they tell the history.
Good interview, thanks. Sounds like Illia's book would be an interesting and moving read.
People should cool their enthusiasm a bit. Sure, Ukraine has $60B of aid coming and that's great. But...they have to make it work. They MUST defeat Russia with this bankroll. I don't think the sentiment in the US will be the same a year from now. We have our own issues that requires a lot of money.
That 60B$ us from the defense budget. It's not going to go to anything else than defense next year.
You do realise that the aid package money mostly goes to the US, right? You commented as if the US is sending money when you have problems. The US is making itself stronger by donating its old equipment and replacing it with aid package money.
Also this package isn't enough to defeat Russia. Ukraine will continue needing help for quite a while before they can win. If the US didn't drag its feet for so long with aid because of Republicans then perhaps this money would have been better used. However, due to time, Russia is stronger and made progress while Ukraine is weaker. They need to recover from that first before going on the offensive. So "cool down" your expectations of Ukraine with the aid money.
You don't think or you don't hope? Ha, ha, ha, ha

Wonderful what Illia told about Bucha - it should never be tainted. Of course the name will be remembered for the war crimes, but it will more than that be a symbol of Ukrainian strength and resistance.

There are many people in America, like myself whom called their senators and their representatives and told them that if money didn’t come for Ukraine soon, there would be a political price to pay?

Bucha and Maripol story needs to be told.
Mariupol had 90% Russian speaking people before the war. Now none of them supports Russia.
The fact that we don't agree on things is what makes the US such a stable country. It's hard to get anything done politically so it's hard to change anything. Especially drastic changes. That's what keep us free. It keeps average Americans better armed than many countries.
and thats why Europe always pays attention to US policy.
Not so much better armed any more. We have been sending our munitions to others.
@@patland1762 Ukraine got old, outdated US weapons that were close to being dismantled. Weapons from the 80's and 90's. Read more.
@@TheBandit7613 Beggars can't be choosers.
ATACMS are great and should be applied in meaningful numbers as it's replacement, the Precision Strike Missile, enters the inventory. Equally needed are JASSM and JSOW to equip the Ukrainian F-16s, allowing them to strike from standoff distances, away from Russian SAMs.
Oh gosh another game changer weapon. We tired hearing this in west . This war is lost ,like a bad gambler we keep dumping money going all in not knowing how to accept we lost.
More than just denying Russia's ability to go on -for a lasting peace Russia needs to suffer a decisive (just short of humiliating) defeat to finally shock the Russian mafia into the reality that Russia's imperial ambitions are over and done. And the USA and Europe need to understand that only they can make it happen. Unfortunately there is not much reason for optimism that his will happen.
Ukraine has had and continues to have majority support in the USA. A minority that found a voice in a powerful position, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, held up the badly needed aid for an unacceptably long time based mostly on domestic political wrangling. I was so ashamed of the delay and so relieved that it is now in the past and Ukraine will receive the needed aid. I would like to see even more support in the future including an end to the moratorium of using western weapons directly against Russian territory.
to be real.. the US knows what this guys is speaking is true; we know war is about supply and support. He also probably knows they are being used at this point.
for those who dont know the capability of ATACMS they can reack all of the occupied area including the southern shipyard in Sevastopol ⚓ 🚢
