- The UK government is providing a range of economic, humanitarian, and defensive military assistance to Ukraine - often leading the way with supply of new capabilities and categories of munition, to encourage allies to scale up their commitments. Britain seems to be less intimidated by Russia’s so-called ‘red lines’, which time have proved to be illusory - just the bluff and bluster of a bully. Overall, the European Union has provided the most to Ukraine in terms of military, financial and humanitarian aid combined, but the UK is the second largest donor of military assistance to Ukraine.

If we do not support Ukraine fully, it will be at our own peril. Morally, we need to do everything possible to help Ukraine keeps it's country. When the russian bots have finished their coffee break, expect the BS to fly.
It’s scares me a bit when russians says : Now we call it a war and not a SMO anymore ! They’ve been testing the Polish 🇵🇱 air defense recently !
So true, however EU and N. Americans' can't or shouldn't give them weapons they've "no" training to use! NATO's rules and rational approach is obviously too slow, but it's coming all with its training! The fog of war, is hand in hand, with the anxiety of war!😢

@@DeepFinger-UA Russian cruise missiles require waypoints for evasive maneuvering - they don't want to give away the launch points. It seems a little corner of Poland is in their algorithm.
@@sneakerset Well I’d actually like them to try again just to see what would happen ! Maybe nothing!!!To see if Poland can act independently or not…Article 5 blah blah…
Huge gratitude, respect and love to the UK volunteers , that are involved in the wonderful community organising aid and directly working in Ucraine . Slava UKraine !!!❤️❤️❤️
I see you are used to being auto blocked as well..sure sign of a true supporter! 😀
Slava Ukr aine! 😇
Thank you Jonathan , for inviting Eduard Fesko ! “Russians are capable of of everything , especially when they understand that we are capable of nothing. “ Ronald Reagan. ✌️✌️✌️👏👏❤️
(open source) Reagan's 'Brilliant Pebbles" project (SDI) has made a comeback - Star Shield. Elon Musk's Space X provides the launchers and satellites. Since Ukraine is already a customer, they can expect vast improvements in critical data links. Did you study Reagan's career ? Just curious...
What a fantastic individual Mr Fesko is!
@@SiliconCurtain Absolutely 👍
Thanks 😊. No surrender. stand strong 💪🔱
Smashing these episodes out Jonathan! Keep going 💪
My full support from Italy
Thank you for interview, especially good to hear Mr.Fesko extend welcome to General Zaluzhnyi as Ukraine ambassador to United Kingdom.
The 🇬🇧 needs to crack down on sanctions evasion by UK industry. It’s obvious why UK exports are up 1,100% or more w/countries like Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, etc. Exports of sensitive products like machine tooling and tech should be at the very least capped.
The UK should become true heroes that force other countries to step by doing something like admitting they’re never going to need tanks for homeland defense and transfer every single tank they have to Ukraine.
Thank you, Jonathan. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Step up to defend Ukraine.
Very interesting interview, thanks Jonathan👍🏽
…Thanks for the interview with this amazing informative guest…💙💛💙
Thank you love your interviews
Great dive into Russia/isis today on ATP geopolitics
🙏🇺🇦👏
UK, Canada, OZ, NZ and the Commonwealth saved the world in 1940. Saving it again in 2024.
Respect and thanks.
Signed,
Grateful Yank
They’ve done a great job in the area of leadership, but they’re not really sacrificing a lot. They could really spur on the allies by doing something that really forces other allies to step it up. This could be anything like the UK giving every single tank they have or Canada giving half its air defense systems. The UK is never going to need tanks to defend the homeland and Canada is not going to be attacked by air anytime soon.
Did Russia have anything to do with the defeat of fas cist Germany?
@@petergreenwood7731 A tiny bit. They were mostly allies w/Germany via the Ribbentrop Pact through which they were going to carve up 🇵🇱 together before Stalin realized he got played. Once the USA gave them 14,000 planes, 140,000 trucks and jeeps, 10kntanks and so on, they started pitching in a bit. But they were as apt to commit atrocities while they were doing it as Germany.
Your sarcasm led you right into it…
@@petergreenwood7731 In 1940, the Russians were massacring the cream of Poland. Brutally attacking peaceful, neutral Finland. Occupying, deporting and terrorizing Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
All the while, fully aiding and abetting Hitler and the Nazis. Current Russian propaganda is so clumsy now, you must be an utter zombie to believe any of it.
@@The_ZeroLine The UK and Commonwealth countries have indeed shown their colors. They call BS on Russian propaganda and sabre rattling, and that can be more valuable than a trainload of grenades. Storm Shadows are a nice touch too.
I've been agitating for 2 years that the West should ship everything. There will never be a better use for Western weapons than helping Ukraine prevail.
Russian defeat means NATO can reduce defense budgets by 50%. Trillions of $ saved over the next 100 years.
As always a direct and articulate commentary on the Ukraine-Russo war.
Excellent discussion

Thankyou Johnathon!!! - SLAVA UKRAINE!!! Oh god bless Ukraine against this terrible Putin regime 😢🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
The Taurus are itching to be tourists ; of the Kerch Strait Bridge. But in the meantime Kiev could borrow Dali from India for a couple of container deliveries. 👍🇺🇦👍
👍👍👍
I hope other countries can follow Uk by example as they go through elections and Ukraine is not made a party political issue and support is across all the parties.. i think if Ukraine have the necessary support with supplies required this too may partly help with thier mobilisation issues as who wants to call up and encourage people into the military when they find they have shortages,using the frozen assets would definitely help there,thanks both.
I honestly can't understand why it has to take so long for the west to figure out a logical way to get the russian money to Ukraine! The argument being that it will make other nations hesitant to invest in the western markets is in my opinion a bit silly.
Just amend the financial laws and say "your investment will be absolutely safe, as long as you don't invade another sovereign nation and start a war as an aggressor! "
Probably not that simple, but it would be a logical starting point to adjust the financial laws of investments.
It would also function as a possible "heads-up" to what investing nations has in mind for the future. If there's reluctance, you may not want certain investors anyway.
It's just a thought...
They trashed financial laws when freezing accounts. Another case of fear of fear itself. 👍🇺🇦👍
As an australian i wish to say that a recent tv program on the war aired by our ABC was totally insensitive and does not reflect public opinion. The UKR ambassador was outraged and i support his point of view.
Strangely enough Sean Langan is very clear who he supports in that War ! One scoop was the RU soldier being interviewed by RU TV who stated that only a third of Ukrainians in the Donbas supported the SMO . This was of course cut for the evening news, but Langan filmed it and it's in the documentary ...
AFAIK there was no great hysterical outcry in the UK, but that UKR ambassador sure found a following in OZ :-)
Boris and Sunak have also used Ukraine to divert the attention from domestic issues. The stats in regards to refugees and donations are far from leading. The UK have been able act as a “free” spirit and been and send new types of arms because of the complexity of the political systems in the US and EU. To emphasise that the UK is leading is ridiculous.
I loathe the Tories, but this is the one thing they got right. If you do the right thing for cynical reasons, you're still doing the right thing.
Why is the emergency laws not implemtet when 600 000 russian soldiers invades a European country? And countless threaths to exterminate the entire western world, etc etc..?
I believe that the error that NATO has made with Russia in regard to Ukraine, has been in not being anywhere
near aggressive enough. I believe that deterrence is very important. I think that great efforts should be made
to either stop bad things from happening or to stop them from getting worse.
I think that a major motivator for Putin's actions in regard to Ukraine starting with the 2014 invasion and annexation
of Crimea, has been his belief that the West is indecisive and scared and that he could get away with doing pretty
much anything that he wanted to.
I believe that the primary reason for the inadequate reaction of NATO has been fear of a nuclear conflict. Basically,
I believe that through nonsensical bluffs and the West's own independent fear, Putin and his cronies have succeeded
in cowing the NATO alliance into allowing Russia to seize Crimea in 2014 and begin a new invasion in 2022 that could
result in Ukraine's eventual defeat.
I believe that the chances of Russia's using nuclear weapons in Ukraine is miniscule at best. If Putin/Russia used nuclear weapons,
I am sure they realize that they could easily be "signing their own death warrant" which I very much doubt they have much interest in
doing. I strongly believe that corrupt government officials and oligarchs who spend billions of dollars of stolen money on colossal yachts
and mansions have very little interest in committing suicide in attempts to keep stolen lands in Ukraine. People who are very interested in
worldly goods of great luxury, are expressing a strong desire to go on living.
When Russia seized Crimea in 2014, I believe that the U.S. and the rest of NATO should have told Putin in "no uncertain terms", that if
Russian forces did not immediately leave Crimea, they would send their military into Crimea and destroy the Russian forces
that were present there. If Russia had not complied with that demand, then NATO should have made that threat a reality. These actions
almost surely would have prevented the 2022 Ukraine war from happening and could have saved hundreds of thousands of Ukranian
lives.
In 2022 when U.S. intelligence predicted that Russia was about to invade Ukraine, the U.S. and the rest of NATO should have warned
Putin/Russia, that if they go ahead with their invasion, then the combined NATO forces would enter Ukraine and destroy the Russian
military that was present. Again, I think that that this action could have very possibly stopped the Russian invasion before it happened.
I still believe that the U.S. and the rest of NATO should take direct and aggressive action now in the war in Ukraine. I believe that the combined
NATO forces should send a very large military force into Ukraine and destroy the Russian military that is present there. Russia is no longer
a super-power and has not been one since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia has demonstrated in Ukraine for all to see, that it does
not have a great military. The Russians are well aware that they cannot successfully stand up to the U.S. alone or to the combined
forces of NATO. The only real danger that Russia presents is a large nuclear arsenal that I would strongly suggest that they dare not use. Confronting
Russia on a Ukrainian battlefield would in fact not create "World War III". - This is a myth. The 32 countries that make up NATO versus Russian forces that
are present in Ukraine, is not a World War. It is the total destruction of those Russian forces that have invaded Ukraine. NATO needs to "grow a backbone".
China, North Korea and Iran are not sending armies to Ukraine to fight "shoulder to shoulder" with Russia. - This is not going to happen. This threat of
World War III is little more than nonsense that Russia would dearly love for the West to believe.
Russia should be forced to give back to Ukraine, every inch of land that they have illegally seized including Crimea. After all Ukrainian lands have been
returned, Russia should be compelled to pay backbreaking reparations to rebuild all of Ukraine that they have destroyed.
A stern message needs to be sent to all aggressor nations that all they will receive for their actions is military defeat, isolation and economic collapse.
I think it's important to air the abominable thoughts of the Russian political classes, (governments kill, they don't nurture), and the war machine personnel, but could one podcast juxtapose it with the common people's thoughts on why they support the now, 'Special Military War'?
👍🇺🇦👍
Worldwide learning in the known and studied patterns of covert psychological abuse dynamics both of the abuser and the victim, would be helpful!
Some valuable traditions are unfairly maligned as "stereotypes." America (US/CAN/MEX) would be nothing without the UK, and I don't just mean in an historical sense. 💪
Think more
The reason as to why Zalugny is tge new ambassador,is because of Bob Hopes' aka Ukraine President paranoia.The rising popularity of tge general,was dangerous for that " little green man".
My thoight is that the Ukranian diaspora in Europe is THE opportunity for them to become thorougly Europeanized and ready, from the bottom up, so to speak, to be ready to join the various European groups. Yes, its hard to get into NATO, but it will ne easier if those oitside the war area understand and learn at a cultural level via a mass number of individuals, how Europe does things. It's the best opportunity for Ukranians and a great investment for Eurooeans.
The situation contrasts with other diaspora...due to the origin location for example, there's no need to make the same investment into Angola, for example. Hope that helps.
UK is helping a lot, unlike the unreliable recalcitrant Yanks, but those contribute most as their share of GDP are those with experience of the brutal barbaric backward muscovite empire.
The ten countries that helped Ukraine and Ukrainians the most (% of GDP, Kiel Institute, graphs: 2nd + 8th) (2022-01-24 - 2023-10-31): * Poland - 3.65% (= 0.67% + 0.55% + 2.43%) * Estonia - 2.86% * Lithuania - 2.52% * Latvia - 2.50% * Czechia - 2.46% * Slovakia - 2.38% * Bulgaria - 2.30% * Norway - 1.76% * Denmark - 1.72% * Germany - 1.29%
Well I've tripled my per capita by personal donations and that numbers just going to go up!
The UK should have supported peace talks all the way through, since 2022. In parallel with fighting against the Russian invasion.
Instead it (reversing reality with propaganda) is effectively helping get Ukraine destroyed. Yes, it's mostly not British lives being lost, but it's _human_ lives (and animals and nature) and costing Ukrainians more and more of their precious land.🇺🇦

@@terryhand I stand by my original comment. If it is uninteresting, boring for you - so be it
@@petergreenwood7731So you are admitting that your comment is a platitude? But in reply to your comment, I think it will be Russians who will be learning Mandarin.
