Ukraine has fought for over 2 years with one hand tied behind their back and blind in one eye.
Hitting russia inside russia, as well as getting modern aircraft and modern equipment are long overdue.
Ukraine is fighting our enemy as we speak, so why are we not giving them the very best equipment we have for Ukraine to do the job properly.
Agree. It is beyond belief.
what can one say, like the USA invading Iraq without crossing the border.
They have to make sure Ukraine has a green light to hit Russia. Letting them sit on the border and build up with troops, tanks and air power severely undermines the defense. Imagine taking a soccer field and cutting it in half that you can’t cross, so you can never score. They have to be allowed to do this.
This is really js an excuse by the Ukrainian command to cover up their own inadequacies and blame shift to some one else .
Ukraine has 22 different medium & short range UAVs that they could have been peppering the russian build up with for the past year if they wanted to .
There is a weird mentality in the Ukrainian command that all russian vehicles dissolve in water so putting your defensive positions on the other side of a water course will make you invincible
We have seen this so many times in the past and every time it as failed .
Keep in mind, it’s highly unlikely we will be told prior to them getting that green light (as it should be). I’m betting they have it now - stay tuned 👀
Agreed 💯🎉🎉🎉
its a game rolled in a circus in a three ringed circus. Where is Monty Python when you need them
They are advancing towards Kharkiv to build a buffer to Belgorod so that 152mm and Soviet MLRS can't hit it, only western weapons or modernized ex-Soviet standard missiles will.
Blinken is saying then that the Us is absolutely committed to a Ukrainian victory! Nice, progress on that front good to hear let the himars free 🇺🇦🇬🇧✌️
Look at the pics of USA vehicle storage stocks. It’s insane how many vehicles we have.
It's a shame this statement concerning using US weapons outside of UA territory came today rather than a few weeks ago, that would have been a game-changer for sure. I'm glad though Blinken implicitly delegated these important decisions to the ones that are fighting for their sheer land and existence.
I guess all we could say is better late than never so stupid of the western Nations to tie Ukraine's hands like they have
🇨🇦🇺🇦 Thank you ( ×4) 💙💛 you put my brain on a treadmill indeed ❣️
Hugs 🤗 from Surprise, Arizona 🌵 🤠
Dang JP. I love the multiple breaking news updates today. I haven’t had a chance to get caught up on your “non breaking” videos yet. Prolific! Appreciate your hard work and dedication. Cheers team🍻
Those FA-18’s and Abrams tanks Australia has sitting around gathering dust should be at least offered to Ukraine, given the stingy military assistance Australia is begrudgingly providing.
biggest non nato supplier. The FA 18"s are scrap, airframes at life end etc. How do you suggest its begrudging???
@@lauchlanguddy1004 Not close. Sth Korea supply more, Japan more.
Thanks for Australia but Abrams should be delivered. Australia are good friends with USA, so they can ask.
Thanks for continuing to keep us updated Jonathan.
The shipment of 60 Abrams would be a good sign -if delivered before the F 16s' arrived. Cheers😊
Thank you Jonathan ❤ Love to all ❤ 🫂
It's time to get more NATO trained troops into Ukraine 🇺🇦 and stop the drip feeding of equipment! ❤️
Hi Nikki, and Thanks again Johnathan for the update … 💙💛💙

@@surpriseitsus9622hello I hope you're doing well
USA/EU should stop ASKING Putin if he wants to negotiate, they should be MAKING him negotiate! Ukraine needs to win or at the very least be in a very strong negotiating position
Exactly.
please sir....
Excellent news. PMJ are great, by the way.
"The US secretary of state made a surprise appearance on stage in a bar in Kyiv, as he appeared alongside Ukrainian band 19.99 in a rendition of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World.”
Blinken, who played guitar with the punk/jazz band and even joined in on vocals, arrived in the Ukrainian capital on Tuesday for a surprise trip, in which he met with President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss battlefield updates and the importance of newly arrived US aid " :Ok now I kind of like Blinken...........
I would love to see Blinken on stage! I've always liked Blinken!
@@karenspenuk78 I think that was so important. This man is 4th in line to the presidency. Him rocking out in a basement bar in Kiev is worth more than 1000 state dinners or Champane parties at the embassy. It shows real friendship between our countries. Choice of songs was also spot on!
@@user-sg6or2nu5n I agree! Blinken has been one of the biggest supporters for Ukraine from within the US. He even dressed his kids as Zelensky and a Ukrainian flag for Halloween! It is easy to see his emotional connection to the people of Ukraine and that compassion is so important in a world of numbers and dollars, tanks and missiles. He is so articulate and measured in his speaking. Unfortunately, the conflicts in Israel/Gaza have divert his attention away from Ukraine for the last 7 months. So glad to see he is back! This man is Presidential material!
@@karenspenuk78 Thats cool I did not know that.
Brilliant
Algo 🇺🇦
Always love the breaking updates by Jonathan 😁
It’s a pity Blinken’s concession didn’t come a couple of weeks ago. The US is not alone in seeming to be constantly behind the curve. But the AFU has questions to answer. In relation to a long-anticipated attack on the Kharkiv axis, they appear to have dropped the ball. It is to be hoped that the senior command changes there have not come too late.
Yeah Denys Davidov was talking about that last night. The concrete bollards to stop russian tanks were left for months on the side of the road where they were delivered, they're still there now under russian control.
...or too late.
they are crazy like a fox, they are bleeding Ukraine dry behind the scenes as the US is want to do, it will ALL end up in the US economic grab bag.
@@cloraformsgood5340 They aren't under their control and they are surplus to requirements by the contractor.
Davidov is summed up: Тілько двох є на світі, дурний і хитрий - дурний робіт а хитрий іст.
Spokesman of State Border Service Andriy Demchenko, said
"Ці напрямки максимально укріплюються у максимальній близькості до кордону. На різній відстані від кордону (залежно від ситуації, рельєфу та особливостей місцевості) створюються інженерно-фортифікаційні споруди, вогневі позиції, спостережні пости, окопні лінії", - пояснив Демченко.
You may not know, but many contractors have been maimed or worse building fortifications 10kms back. It is certain to be a problem at 1 km. The ruscists sit back in muscovy and fire knowing Ukraine can do nothing. No anti-air, no counter battery. Little or no ammunition.
Zelenskyy went and visited the fortifications:
Очільник Харківської обласної військової адміністрації Олег Синєгубов розповів, що оборонні споруди складаються з розгалуженої системи траншей, бліндажів та інших видів укриттів. За його словами, у регіоні облаштовують загороджувальні рубежі: бетонні піраміди, "зуби дракона" та протитанкові рови.
However, Yaroslavskyi commander of the intelligence unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said:
Командир підрозділу розвідки ЗСУ зауважив, що на цій ділянці фронту не було першої лінії фортифікацій та мін.
«Ворог вільно увійшов у сіру зону, по всій лінії кордону, яка в принципі не повинна була бути сірою. За 2 роки на українському кордоні повинні були стояти бетонні укріплення в мінус 3 поверхи! А не було навіть мін. Ми приходимо до думки, що це або шалене злодійство, або навмисний саботаж», - заявив військовий.
Davidov hunts for clicks and money. His validity is zero.
Thanks for correcting me JP! I had Naval SM-2, SM-3, SM-6, and ESSM Missiles were in my head. I was just finishing the Mapping of the US Naval Fleet deployed! So I had the Navy in my brain. Thank you for correcting me JP, I do not want to say any kind of Disinformation...
I told you Blinken & Sullivan were doing a hell of a job running the executive branch….
The guitar was a nice touch by Antony.
The Democrats have the wrong candidate…
Heroyam slava.
👍🇺🇦🇦🇺👋
The US should start placing orders and pre paying for post war weapons deliveries from Ukraine as a way to fund start ups in Ukraine.
They have done that
Top class work Ukrainian
Good one Jon. Cheers

@@paraandy3821Hello Andy. 👍👏😀
@@jackfrost149 hi Jack
I suppose JP is recording his 3rd “breaking news” about Fuco being shot 🎉.
He is the pro russian guy right?
Blazing Hot Nuggets are Incoming! Rushin' Aid?
😊 Hello Steve 🏜
There is an Abrams storage area in Nevada, takes 30 minutes at 60 mph to drive past it. Tanks from the highway as far as you can see in the distance on both sides of the highway. For 30 miles. And that is one of 4 main storage areas.
You were correct about the PAC-2/3! But the PAC-2 is not for Ballistic Missiles from anything I can find. PAC-2 range is 160km and the PAC-3 have a range of 30/60km depending on the Variant, but are for Ballistic missile mainly I believe! The biggest difference between the two different missiles is the PAC-2 was a exploding munition when close enough to it's target, and the PAC-3 is a Precision Hit through the Target using Velocity to destroy the Target.
So for intercepting the FAB dropping aircraft a PAC 2 would actually be more useful .
@@I-have-a-brain_and-use-it Correct!
@@I-have-a-brain_and-use-it PAC-2 is perfect to take anything down even drones, missiles, bombs, helo's, basically anything in the Air other than Ballistic! I believe the PAC-2 can take down Ballistic missiles but the interception rate is horrible.

Hi JP, just finished Rick it's 4.15am. thanks for the update, enjoy your outing 🫶💙💛
2 breaking news updates in a day! Man, A-10s would really be great to see in Ukraine, has there been any discussion on this?
Too hot an environment for the plane to survive.
No way the Warthog could survive in Ukraine. It's too slow and ugly used with total air support superiority. It's a shame, because they are so cool. Bbbrrrrrttt
@@sirsmeal3192Happy Wednesday Sir ❤
they dont want them.
Colby is missing an expanded $8 billion FMF authority appropriation from the most recent aid bill, I sent you a screenshot of the text in a message on Twitter
You can hide 100 but 300 sticks out like a sore thumb
The reason they might be drip feeding in small amounts of aid at a time is to avoid giving the russians a really valuable target to strike with ballistic missles.
sure... wat to win a wat, the way US runs a war.
Jake Broe's NAFO fund-raiser is fast approaching $800,000 (twenty times his original target) !!! 🥰
Thank you Jonathan.
Please watch Bill Browder talking to UK treasury committee, today. Only 50mins and packed full of opinions on sanctions and potential solutions.
Hi Jonathan, politically it might not be aligned with your views but I think you will find this interview from the Hoover Institute with Victor Davis Hanson very interesting
Hi Jonathan, thank you for this update. I hope Ukraine will put it to good use and hit key positions where troops are being assembled.
If I am not mistaken, the US is famous for leaving behind tons of armor/vehicles after a war, because it is not worth the cost shipping them back. Maybe the US could do a full scale training operation with Ukrainian troops in Rumania and Poland with tons and tons of material and leave them for Ukraine, being too expensive to take back home.
The US might sell a few Bradley’s, Abraham’s and F16’s here and there, but most of them will never leave storage, until they will be scrapped or dumped into a huge hole in the dessert.
It is a lot cheaper to buy the ammo and that ammo can be send to their destination much faster than the few dozen of armored vehiclesi being send in a batch as is currently done.
I understand there are rules about selling weapons and it might be impossible to give them away (per a penny) by law, but maybe one could be creative. Probably my naive, wishful thinking though.
Cheers, Rick
Abrahams?
@@sirsmeal3192 I think you mean Abrams?
@RickFromTheNetherlands Abraham's?
Glad you caught that.
@@RickFromTheNetherlands Spell checker got you.
Hi Jonathon, the equipment such as Bradleys & other vehicles probably need some maintenance before shipping, Brilliant news the US have freed Ukraine to use their munitions on Russian soil Hooray ..... Slava Ukraini Cheers Chris
It's about time
Bradleys etc don’t fight themselves, it may well be that the drip feed is governed by the training of crews
is this true--Fico shot--check inititive ?
Oh dear! We should expect another nuclear threat from the USSR (no mistake). Hope we'll have time for a quick pint at the local! Then shelter under the galvanised washing tub. Mum.... not room enough for me and the missus though. Well, she can hide under the washing basket!
👋🏼🫶🏼🇺🇦🇬🇧
Rushing... USA had six months to have this lined up and ready to Go. Amazon would have it there in three days easy. seems US is still checking the paperwork weeks after the vote. it should have BEEN there
Jonathan it's to protect them from being damage by missiles before they get to use them.
Enjoy the music, your coming up very close to me as I believe they're playing in Tunbridge Wells. Have a good'n.
Bournemouth tonight
@@ATPGeo oh right. Don’t know where I got that from then. Nonetheless, hope it’s great!
Jonathan, the US have vast stocks of military equipment, but does Ukraine have enough manpower to use it? Do they have enough time to train their recruits to use that equipment before they are overrun by superior numbers of Russians? It takes months to train on the use of mobile artillery, M1 tanks, HIMARS, Patriots, F16s, etc. If you don't know how to turn on the engine of an M1, it isn't much use to you.
ohhh yes, dont just rush in more than they need, its all ready to be scrapped and not new models.... im sure they could rustle up troops. If you have twice as many you can risk a bit more. get damaged or knocked out. the crew usually survives, straight back to a replacement and repair the hit. 100 about enough for one zone1000 would be nice. 100 in each major zone and reserves, 2000 even better.

Blinken said in March of 24:
"We've sent very clear messages to Iran to not do it, this is a subject of considerable conversation among a number of countries in Europe and the United States and I think that the concern about that eventuality and the need to address it, if necessary, is very real and very strong," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during a news conference on Friday in Vienna.
Is this the same as a red line drawn by Putin?
It must be, if the USA does not allow Ukraine to strike the military and military concentrations in Russia.
I’m glad to see Blinken’s trip to Ukraine was productive. More aid, expedited aid and using this aid to strike military targets inside russia. Better late than never I suppose. Maybe this is part of the boiling frog/lobster strategy?
Whew, I was worried Blinken was just in Ukraine touring the nightclubs in Kyiv😉
not so many and they close before cerfew
Fico has been shot? what do we think of fico?
My comment deleted again 😡
I was asking have you any breaking news on Fico ?
Guys here saying he won’t make it
I saw your comment, I wonder if you're blocked from it? Like...just you?
@@surpriseitsus9622 Nah It’s just me being an impatient muppet . My original message took a few minutes to appear .
Yeah the US drip feeding from their vast stockpiles is frustrating. What land war did they build it for? Oh! Against russia in Europe! Take care team!
👋
Enjoy the music
Rushed to hospital shooter detained
@atp geopolotics
can you make a little video about NAFO and jake pls? Already reach 900k dollars we need more
Better late than never. This could offer Ukraine the opportunity to hit rear supply areas in the Belgorad region isolating the Russian troops now trying to advance in the Kharkiv direction.
The f-16s when they get them with multiple launch platforms better radar would be able to launch missiles from Ukraine into Russia to put those Russian Jets on the ground one of the biggest threats Ukraine is facing are from those Glide bombs
It is interesting to hear again this negotiation non-sense. Ukraine stated it already and everybody with a clear mind will not negotiate with contract breachers. There is a very simple message: Get rid of this government or get rid of Russia and this government.
Dude take a break! You're on overtime now! Go outside and get some fresh air.
🥉👏👏👏👏👍😊
Nothing is breaking on this movie
not that I care at all, I just put the volume up on my speakers but your sound has definetely gone down again after fiddling with your settings. No problem for anyone I should imagine so not important but just fyi?
05:49 on the subject i think it would be wise to start handing out contracts to refurbish or make all dustballed hardware thats currently in the dessert operational/to keep them back to send a ultimatum and make them ready in case Rustardia moves beyond Ukraine,As the German defeat tought us in WW2 its not quality but quantity that wins wars/.Bye not delivering huge quantities of aid as in the hunderds of tanks in stead of mayby 100 of all contributers at start of war...we have allowed the conflict to drag on.With the Rustards now in war economy mode who says they wont attack another country after Ukraine is swallowed?Like moldova or smaller nato Countries bordering them?The cost is lower to them when there already in war economy then to wait a few years and swap everything back in war economy...And once contractors start making arms it will be hard to make them stop a certain momentum is build up in the government apparatus and we all know there is nothing more deadly then oversized goverment and over regulation.THE COST OF OUR INACTION AT START OF THE WAR WILL BITE US IN THE ASS.
Ficos just been shot in Bratislava
Nothing like an ambiguous political statement to achieve plausible deniability! Grow some balls America .
Agree 👏👏
