Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s video statement, refusing to leave Kyiv, on the first night of Russia’s full-scale invasion, February 24, 2022
EA on TVP World: Ukraine, Europe, and the US-Israel War on Iran
On Friday I joined Daniel Tkiie, the host of Ukraine’s War and Politics 24, for a special 90-minute chat in London.
In the first part of the discussion, I explain how Ukrainians repelled Vladimir Putin’s hopes for a “3-day war”.
Russia lost that war by April [2022]. Whatever happens after that, they lost.
Russia continues to hold 20% of Ukraine. Regrettably, they may continue to hold portions such as Crimea for quite some time.
But in terms of “winning” by making Ukraine part of Greater Russia —- no, sorry, mate. All you can do, Vlad, is cut your losses at this point.
I begin with how Ukraine not only held out but how it back a leader in military technology, with that contribution evident amid the current US-Israel War on Iran.
I look back over the 49 months of the full-scale invasion, and I consider the current state of Ukraine’s resistance: military, political, and economic.
