- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky came to Washington DC earlier this week to plead with Congress to come together on $61 billion in new aid for the country in its war against Russia. His visit comes amid a failed Ukrainian counteroffensive and improved Russian performance on the battlefield. In this episode, we hear how Ukrainian forces are adapting to waning Western support and why this is a moment Russian President Vladimir Putin may be able to seize on in Moscow.

No amount of money will help Ukraine win this conflict.
Shhhhh. 🤫 Raytheon, Boeing and Lockheed Martin have to keep making Trillions on their endless wars.
I'm sorry?
This is an existential threat to the whole of Europe.
You think we let RuZZia rule the half of Europe once again?
19th century: French dictator tried to rule Europe. Got kicked out. France never wanted to be an empire again.
20th century: German dictator tried to rule Europe. Got kicked out. Germany never wanted to be an empire again.
21st century: Russian dictator tries to rule Europe. WILL get kicked out. Russia will never want to be an empire again.
Absolutely. Give Ukraine a white flag or a rosary. It's a wrap. Let's talk peace and start to take care of each other 🙏
Terrorists gets attacked by their victims:
The US: "Sorry Ukraine you're on your own. We gotta protect our tyrants in the middle east".
Sorry Ukraine, we have our own border to protect...🇺🇸🤷♂ No more money for you!
Then the Amerikkk4n t3 rr0 r1sts should have not sabotaged the Istanbul Peace Agreement in April 2022.
tbh It's more EU war than USA.
2023 is really surprising me now that Amazons AMA77K hit the road. After all these years of barely reading anything good I was usually just shutting down any type of media influence as much as I can but this brings back good lights and it should give hope to some of you that no matter what is going on in the world at the end something good comes to surface
Who knew that Russia alone can defeat 40 countries who are desperate to save their proxies.
The fact that the west is so desperate and outraged but cannot go in to bring some "freedom and democracy" to their proxy state , that should tell you everything you need to know about Russian power
That would lead to World War III if the West did? Is that what you want? A World War with a country run by a luntic who has the 2nd biggest Nuclear Arsenal on the Planet? Don't be fking Ridiculous!
Russia lost 83% of all their soldier. Russia is weaker than Japan.
The US has nothing to sell as we are operating under the rules of a banana republic.
*History will not be kind to the fake news...*
Has those 40 countries backed the U.S. up in time of war? I will wait for your pathetic response.
PS - The head of Ukrainian military intelligence, Budanov, admitted that the effectiveness of Ukrainians who were forcibly conscripted into the army is “almost zero”... Film at 11.
Meanwhile, Russia's new airborne division is getting their butts kicked at the Dnipro Bridge. And by the way why are you rooting for Putin anyways it's kind of traitorous of you isn't it?
Probably not , let’s be honest.
It's quite clead Ukraine has been on much smaller budget and resources than Russia and they have been able to win back territories as well as hold off the 1st phase of the war ie. the "3 days special operation"
If Ukraine could not beat Russia with USA/UK involvement and hundreds of billions worth of military armaments, how are they going to win without any of that?
The latest Russian propaganda trope
Good question. Has it all been a wasted effort?
Ukraine lost the war back in 2014 when the Ameri kkk4ns t3 rr0 r1sts coup their government and funded, and trained the Ukr0 N4z1s.
@@InterestedCitizen not wasted effort for military industry, look at their stock market price, and once next aid package get approved it will skyrocket. Time to invest.
Even US politicians openly say it all is about investing money in local military industry.
Russia's fuckin BROKE, Pootin in Begging North Korea,

If Russia is broke the war would be over as soldiers would not be getting paid.
Russia is swimming in oil money because Biden is making America buy oil from Iran and Venezuela.
No
@ayansengupta6592 Have you ever heard of the Holodomor and the Holocaust? It seems that you deny them both
It's funny how CNN is trying to pretend that Russia advancing on almost all fronts is a "stalemate."
🤣
Short answer NO. Cry Harder
Number 1: At the end of the Cold War! America 1 of 4 nuclear powerhouse country's promised security to Ukraine if they gave up their powerhouse nukes and to join the new world order of peace.
And to the idiots from Capital Hill. Our contributions to the Ukraine cause, has added four times if not more to our GDP Military Machine.. Fact? Over 30 years service HMARS and Patriot sales up. Out of date ordnance and equipment put to very Good use and helped to defend a nation from genocide!
Number 2: For 3 years, we have not seen any Republicans trying to come up with solutions to help our country's border problems. Not any attempt to help our country's people from the inflation, that they were very aware was coming and was going to hit us and the world hard. But did nothing to legislate against price gouging super companies for food and the necessities of the American people!!! In fact the first thing Republcans wanted to do was give Congress a raise for the coming super inflation. I am a true RED WHITE and BLUE Republican and The RINO'S are Ultra MAGA and their constituents.!!!!!!!
"Send much more biIIions Joe. Ferraris are expensive!" ~ ZeIenskyy
So far out of touch with reality when you discuss a budget for war 😂
Somehow I have the feeling the USA has become like their CEOs: 3 month goals and if not reached, "you're fired!".
Sick way of thinking about human lives...
Nothing has been lost yet.
Europe is ramping up production and has donated MORE to Ukraine than the USA, by now.
On the balance of "country's support per Capita" the USA ranks 30th by now.
See you throw the per capita in there to skew the stats to suit your view... without the USA all of Europe would be speaking Russian or Chinese
"Russland schau richtig hin, hör richtig zu, so fühlt ihr die Wahrheit
der ehrlichen Seele '.
No truth with democrats or media their all liars and racists cowards
The one thing I see if we send money now. We won't be have to send money and soldiers in future. The money then will be 1 millions times more.
Domino theory discredited in Vietnam. Not much on history or facts, are you?
The free countries promise to Ukrainian president that ( we will help you in every way to the end ) where is that promise? ??....🤔🤔🤔
While Europe is ramping up production, pledging wáy more money than the USA (currently the USA is 30th out of 50 countries from the RAMMSTEIN group considering donations per capita), the USA is letting us down big-time indeed.
The USA (no, I have to say:) MAGA is showing that it really doesn't understand that the credibility the USA once had, is crumbling very fast under their influence. Before you know it, nobody will trust the USA anymore and countries will turn to China or India for protection and/or trade deals. Like they say: trust comes by drips at a time, but leaves by spades.
Next step: Trading oil in -say- yuan on the global market, instead of the USD. China will be laughing all the way to the bank, if you keep sticking your head up into your ***.
This war is over, the Ukrainians have been bleed white. Average age of the private is 43 everyone else is dead, wounded or captured.
The Fall counteroffensive has failed to gain significant ground and has deatroyed massive amounts of Weatern armor.
Those of us living in really know that 2 squaderons of F16 os going to do nothing, the same as the 25 Abrams tanks being shipped.
Bingo !
This war is not over. Ukraine will prevail.
You are correct but you will never see reality on the msm
God, you're a ruZZian shill...
Do you know why the average age is that high?
Did you even listen to Zelenskyy when he said he didn't want young men to conscript, last year, because he needs a future generation to lead Ukraine?
No. Is that supposed to be a serious question?
Can you put a price on defeating Russia
Stupid question. Who's budget has Ukraine been using? I hate war but we all know what the deal is around this.
Tak. Yes
Пишіть краще "yes", американці не зрозуміють
Yes Ukraine can because Russia use shovels and it's out of missiles suffering huge casualties they say , vodka are easy to beat they say
fun fact: The Ancient Romans used to drop a piece of toast into their wine for good health - hence why we 'raise a toast'.

I not surprised that congressional republicans turned their back on Ukraine. If America turns its back on Ukraine, we can only expect the same in return.
They can go places the others can’t and vice verse in a dark room filled with faint orange light 🧐
An internationally renowned think tank recently released a shocking report.
If aid to Ukraine is delayed and the whole of Ukraine comes under Russian control, and Russia and Ukraine are united, Russia will become powerful, taking Western weapons and skilled soldiers with it. Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and other countries bordering Russia's sphere of influence would be directly threatened, and the U.S. would have to send in new heavily armed land and air forces to defend them. The cost will probably be astronomical. There is no doubt that it would cost far less to continue providing aid to the Ukrainian military."
🤣🤣🤣 you are crazy. Russia doesn't threaten Europe.
@@niktoinikak what invasion?🤔
@@niktoinikakYou mean after the US coup in 2014 in Ukraine, and for 8 years funded, armed and trained Neo N4 z1s who were shelling Ethnic Russians in East Ukrainians who defended their rights to speak Russian and uphold their culture.
Putin would not be foolish enough to invade a NATO country. He knows that would be his funeral.
@@nataliatv386 Either you're naive, or you've been listening too much to ruZZian cool-aid.
Yes, they are. Ukraine = Europe. Hungary = Europe (ruZZian shill in power).
Serbia = Europe (ruZZian shill in power). Slovakia = Europe (ruZZian shill in power).
Or do you simply want to state that ruZZia is no threat to Ukraine?
Well, it's a quote from The Time article. Zelenskyy top advisers say about him: “He deludes himself,” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration . “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that. It is immovable, verging on the messianic.” One Austrian artist was in a similar state in 1945. In fact Biden administration doesn't see Ukraine beyond a spring next year. It already appointed a team to prepare a deployment of American troops to Poland that would "prevent" Russian invasion into NATO. Of course these are just political games and nobody believes that Russians have such intentions. It's all about creating narrative not reality.

Hundreds of billions is on a BUDGET!????!!!! LMFAO X10
4:18 - Who is it? Who’s talking?
Lol! The Afghans didn't have much of a budget and they wrecked both the Soviet Union and the US in a war of attrition.
Of course it didn't hurt that the USA was shipping billions worth of weapons to them.
And then we got Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Because they used gorilla warfare than conventional plus afgan had a mountainous environment making is easy for them.... Don't think you really studied well

WAR IS DUMB
But very profitable. That's why the richest counties in America surround Washington DC.
Very deadly as well. And Ukraine didn't start this one.
ruZZia didn't want to lose their 'sphere of influence' to a population that wanted freedom.
And is more European than ruZZian anyway (been there, seen that).
but they've already lost, they just don't know it yet ?
If I am going to be honest with you, in my own humble opinion and without being sentimental and of course without offending anyone, who might think differently from my own point of view, but also looking into his matter in an objective perspective, I would like to say that before God and man, I absolutely have nothing to say about this kind matter. Thank you 🙏
Fair enough!😂
First, soviet union became Russia overreaching in Afghanistan and now Russia overreaching into Ukraine with no better plan to defend against guerrilla warfare that lost them their Super power status! Will Russia break up further … is that what we want?
Yes, that would be a good idea.
And wáy better than let them get stronger by annexing Ukraine.
Is Ukraine the New Switzerland?
🤦
Nope, the new Swaziland.
Switzerland is a rich well-functioning, smart country. Ukraine is a poor, corrupt, naive country.

Short answer - No.
Long answer - Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Unfortunately, this os what Putin has been patiently waiting on.
What, for a vast majority of the American people to wake up and realize how Ukraine is a money grift just like how Afghanistan turned out to be? No more funding, that conflict is lost.
I think too that it is unfortunately, maybe for ones that don't want world to end it is fortunately.
*Putin's been "waiting" on the US/NATO to use Ukraine as a forward operating base from which to existentially threaten his own national security for the last 10 years?!*
*...Now, you wanna try that again?*
How long did Zelensky wait for Joe Bribem? 💸💸💸
@@Bidensclassifiedocuments a little less, than the
time he waited on Trump.
If the EU is threatened by Russia, then the EU should pay 100% of the bill to keep Russia out of Ukraine.🇺🇸🤷♂
Trump warned them and tried to get them to bolster their defenses. But EU and Democrats laughed at him and acted childish. Trump was RIGHT AGAIN!
USA signed a contract to protect Ukraine, the magots are as good as their word. Utterly Useless !
No actually the opposite Germany had in good books with Russia even France does not believe distancing Russia will solve anything

*Hey, near the end of WII, Hlteir sent 14-year-old boys to the front. Today, Zelenski (whose military is likewise filled with Niazs) sends parnnegt women... Six of one, a half dozen of the other, you might say.*
Ukraine is winning!
This is really poor.
Russia has lost most of its tanks... just a farce this programme.
And what did the beginning of this programme have to do with the title?
Ukraine can win, but needs continued funding. With the way republicans want to cut the funding if they come to power next, things may go downhill after that.
😥😥😥
Sure they can. On our budget.
The average age of Ukrainian soldier is older than 40 as the country grapples with personnel problems. The average Ukrainian soldier is 43-years-old, according to Time Magazine.
What Ukraine needs is manpower. We could send Ukraine every tank, plane, ship and gun and it wouldn't matter if Ukraine has no one to operate them.
And another ruZZian shill...
Yes, they do have conscript issues, for sure. It's a democratic country, where many people don't need nor want this fight.
Unfortunately for them, ruZZia does want it.
Did you even listen to Zelenskyy when he said he didn't want young men to conscript, last year, because he needs a future generation to lead Ukraine?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Was this supposed to be a video?
Will a Candyfloss beard make it through a harsh winter intact ? nope 👎
If Ukraine had NATO plane help in the first few days this war would have stopped in a week or two. No?
Special operation/denazification 🤷♂️
Well the narrative will suit Russia cause that's exactly what Russia was looking for
Azov wolfsangles bold as brass and the normies still don’t think they are Nazis 🤣🤦♂️
We know who the real nazis and fascists are.
NATO : Ukraine destroyed 87% of russia army and they have 45k troops left
Also NATO : If we stop aiding ukraine Putin will finish ukraine off and will go after Poland Baltic States stc
87% of invaded army. Because of this Putin mobilized additional 1 million russians
LOL. You believe this garbage?
Foolish propaganda, get a life mate
Also NATO : Finally, their multipolar independency will crush off our unipolar dependency and we will bow down before them furthermore.
Are you winning son?
I love scaremongers like this one!
Russia has 10x the troops, gear, ammo etc😮
Nope. They cannot even achieve Air Superiority after almost 2 years of fight and mobilizing 100s of thousands of troops. Over 50% of their initial forces are GONE and a 12% desertion rate. Russia has to beg for ammo and shells from NoKo and Iran.
Nope.
It might have had, in the beginning.
By now they don't anymore.
Ukraine couldnt win when they had all they money and weapons they could ask for, what are they going to do now?
lol, they are toast, it will take 1 year or 4 years that's the only dollar difference. Russia can rather break up than loose!

I’m from Ukraine, and here we admire how the United States fights for the values of democracy! With such a struggle, I wish I could survive!
Value of democracy yet you are not a democracy as a country but a democracy of beggars for a war you inflicted by allowing for being used as a proxy for USA and its allies to fight Russia.you made a big mistake siding with the world terrorist organisation
Calling Ukraine a democracy is like calling Biden the president of the USA.

I'm glad you've come to terms with the fact that Trumps a looser.
I hope all is well with you and remains that way.
If you're really from Ukraine than why are you ok with tens of thousands of widows, orphans, amputees and lost about 20% of their territory permanently? This is the current casualties and loss of territory. Sorry your leadership of Ukraine are nutcases.

Not only should we have not ever sent Ukraine a nickel, but we should go ahead and charge them for every penny of the billions we sent them already

I want to know how many understand what Amazon is doing with AMA77K and how many refuse to adapt and still continue in their private bubble. This will sooner or later be in everyones brain pretty sure about that
Oh now you’re admitting Ukraine isn’t winning? You could have accepted that over a year ago and saved billions.
Russia will defeat ukraine just like the yanks beat the taliban
We had bad years and unfortunately the governments and systems in this world wont really help, guess what. But Amazons AMA77K brings new light to not only the industry but humans in general and this is how everyone can have power in their own hands. I think we are about to step into a new age and there it matters what you decide for your own life. Too many bad decisions have been done and the conventional living method simply doesnt work anymore. If you really give it a thought then you might believe me on this one. Im not trying to force anybody its just my goal to bring change because even if I succeed for one person it is more worth than any money in this world, isnt it?
We really need to talk about Amazons AMA77K I think its going to make 2023 to be the best year of the entire 2000-range
Zelensky just bought 75 million dollar yacht on American money. How much is Ukraine budget?
Nice try. But he didn't :)
Does anyone really believe that Russia is a threat to the United States when they can't even handle tiny little Ukraine?🇺🇸🤷♂😂😂😂
LOL
The latest Russian propaganda- trying to downplay the very real threat of Putin's Russia
Отвечу вопросом на вопрос: смогли ли США победить Афганистан по бюджету? Мы, украинцы, будем сражаться за свою свободу даже если нас предадут США. Тогда мы будем воевать ещё яростнее не только против русских, но и против американцев как предателей.
Не будете. Вы мастера по несколько раз переобуваться в воздухе.

Reading everyone's comments the last year I have found out way more about corruption in Ukraine than just the U.S.
There are reports of women and boys under the age of 18 on the battlefield. But hey, you keep LARPing as a soldier Zelenskyy 😂. The US sure has padded you and your buddies bank accounts.
The pentagon leaked memo said Ukraine can not win.

Just leaving this here.. My heart goes to the entire community for Amazons AMA77K building up something which is worth it for everyone. This is so smart by them to launch and shatter the doubts and fears of the common folk, which was misplaced by all the drama we had last years. Everyone knows the state of inflation and recession now and the way out is already in progress. Now its just about catching the big fish, ya feelin?
Its time that Amazon with their AMA77K is widely recognized if you dont know that already yet. 2024 and beyond will be different for everyone living and thats the first step into that direction.
Now when you mention Amazons AMA77K that clearly fits the niche and is worth more than ever? Their project is probably the best thing done in the 2000-years and it just began, so nothing to worry at all for longterm
Not the best year but celebrating Amazons AMA77K now! What a time to be alive guys, seriously
The AMA77K is Amazons next big breakthrough, and its going to change everything. Dont let this extraordinary opportunity escape you - be a part of this world-changing movement.
If you want to see a Dem lie ask this question.
Are you better off now than 3 yrs ago?
Or , are secure borders important?
Amazons AMA77K is a pioneering innovation that will catapult us into a new era of progress. Dont let this remarkable opportunity slip through your fingers - be a part of the change and embrace the future.
The whole planet would make life better for everyone as long as we can understand Amazons AMA77K and the future they can create, something other parties would always fail to do so
The AMA77K by Amazon is a force to be reckoned with. This revolutionary technology will change the world, and you dont want to be left out of the conversation.
I usually lurk and never write but why wouldnt you be excited over Amazons AMA77K ?
