- "They were shooting at each other very, very close range, they could see each other just trying to get round the corners. These Russians had the latest equipment, the latest Kalashnikovs, night vision goggles."
Maxim Tucker tells Frontline of an account by Ukrainian soldiers who saw Russian troops killed in a raid on positions near Kharkiv.

I love listening to this guy's view of proceedings. Great interview, thank you.
😊
What courage! 💝💙💛
So Ukraine had 2-3 weeks where they could have disrupted this Russian build up near Kharkiv with US missile systems. But the USA would not let them. Why are they forcing Ukraine to fight with both hands tied behind there back? Can you imagine US soldiers not being allowed to strike a enemy well they are very vulnerable? US + allies need to lift the restrictions on Ukraine.
Yea I can imagine; Vietnam. same reasons... fear of Russian retaliation "escalation control."
They micromanage it with no heart in the game. We are loosing our heroes and our civilians while they make their calculated decisions on how we must fight according to their rules.
We have made them the underdogs, why? Cowardence
If you're American, write to representatives about the issue. You can fire off an email on the WH website in 5 minutes.
You wonder if the USA is interested in Ukraine winning back their land.... or NATO for that matter, present politician in Europe and the USA are not war time people, its a shame seeing this happen, embarrassing actually
Ukrainian Warriors and President Zelensky, you amaze the World with your Courage, Strength and Determination... We can achieve anything when we all work together... God Bless Ukraine from the UK
Amen! 💯
Thank you so much for supporting us, it means ...everything! Literally
Slava Ukraini! 💙💛
😂😂😂😂😂 keep share your dream with your family
Ukraine is winning 😂😂😂😂 this is how fake propaganda washed your brain
Why are you agreeing that gaelics are allowed to supercede protestants (against British Laws)?
Excellent reporting from a very level-headed and professional individual : Maxim Tucker. A name to watch.
Kate is at it again !

This gentleman is a wonderful guest. Looking forward to more from him.
I am so dissapointed in europe dragging their feet on support for Ukraine.
England's Ben Wallace played a key role in upping the support. But when it came to Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland(😢) my goodness,what a let down.
They're all waiting for the U.S. to take the first step.
Even now, two years after the full invasion we're still not clear on to wether Ukraine may or may not use the ample force they got on Russian territory.
It's embarassing.
Send ukraine all they need and more, without restrictions.
These European countries have always let us down. Nothing has changed through history.
Thank god for brexit
The Netherlands have been donating massively so stop that bull$hit and do your homework.
Also it is not England but Great Britain or Britain.
Was it Wallace or was it his clever Dog Gromit who ends up doing all the smart stuff
Thank you Maxim for being there. Your work is vital to let us know.
What is happening in Ukraine is on scope and scale which NAT0 was not even able to imagine and has no answer to it. NAT0 has almost no ammo left, no artillerry , no tanks, no missilles to stand up Russia. Imagine, U. K. , or some people in U.K. want to fight Russia directly while only having 40(!) Chalanger tanks in working order :) Ridicul*us NAT0 is a paper tiger. NAT0 spent 2O years learning how to fight Afghan wedding parties and Iraqi villagers, because that is pretty much what NAT0 was doing. NAT0 forgot how to do a large scale ground combat. NAT0 even has no means to do large scale combat. China is there for Russia, Russia is there for China.... Who is there for USA? United Kingdom with their 40(!) Chalenger tanks in working order ??? Or Germany? Germany is not only 100% out of ammo, but on the top of that Germany was even bombed by USA!!!!(Nord Stream) Ridicul*us NAT0, unfortunately still able to make mess around the globe !!! Last year we could see the "quality" of USA´s weapons in counterofensive in Ukraine. The only things which are remarkable about those guns are the PRICE and the SPEED in which these are being wiped out... Russian weapons are superior at all levels. The mere fact that the Russians have managed to bring several hypersonic missiles into use (!) within a few years and the Americans, in contrast, have not been able to do so for 10 years, shows the enormous difference. USA only has the most expensive military in the world, while Russia has the strongest army in the world and the most experienced army in the world.. About Ukraine war I say it like this: Who wants to be helping to a country(Ukraine) which kept killing civilians(russian language speakers) since 2014 ? It would be the same if someone would start helping to a man who attacked another man...., because Russia is helping to civilians in Donbas since those civilians were killed by thousands since 2014) It is like someone would start helping to a person who started with killing people....... About Ukraine war I say it like this: Would USA like Russia´s army in Mexico or Cuba? If your answer was NO while you do not mind NATO(it means USA´s army) near Russia, than something is very wrong with your reasoning, period.

I’m confused does the Russian side even know why they are attacking their neighbor? I see all the propaganda bots but none of them give an answer of why.
Вы должны понять. Я в России, в Самаре. Все путинские годы-это маниакальный поиск повода для гордости🤷♀
Russian side isn't really happy it's attacking. It cannot just stop fighting and withdraw because then Ukrainians will attack Russia back. But since Ukraine refuses peace talks, Russia presses further just to be safe.
Moderators delete some sensible comments
What would USA do if Canada or Mexico became China's allies? 😅😅😅😅😅
Paranoia, Russian fear that one day America would do to them, what they did to Iraq and Libya.
Two days ago, Sec. of State Blinken yet again said that the US will allow Ukrainian forces to fire into Russia, as is absolutely necessary for the defenders near Kharkiv. That is not yet the US position, but the authorities clearly are rapidly moving toward that position.
Once again Times Radio has a very informed report from the front lines. I wonder where are our American reporters. .?

You honestly do not believe what you wrote do you ? Ukraine got into this with Nato And America on a decision to hold and not win this .Not a good military plan to win but to lose . Ukraine will lose the Russian enclaves Russia wanted and they are going to lose more the longer this goes on . What Russia doesn't take it will destroy and ;leave in ruins .Russia has the money from oil to continue to fund this and both American and Russian military industrial complexes are in full swing with a lot of production and a lot of business meanwhile people are dyeing and will continue too until the agreement is made .Americas funding wont last forever and the day it stops is the day closer to that agreement . America gives away its old armored vehicles and equipment and technology to Ukraine and then replenishes there own forces with updated and new and more advanced equipment and weapons . Russia is doing the same things . Ukraine is the dumping ground with the plan of just hold and contain rather than outright win which is ridiculous and a very poor military decision . In the end Ukraine will lose the Russian enclaves plus now and the only win it may have left is that there entire Nation was not taken over and destroyed . Russia told Nato and America what would occur if they pursued this .They said we will keep it at all costs and in the end we will still have it .
That is how it will end . .
What a horrifying experience!!! And Maxim Tucker doesn't have a weapon?
“When I was a cadet, what’s the cadet motto at West Point? ‘You will not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do.’ I was the CIA director, we lied, we cheated, we stole, we killed, and we assassinated. That’s, it was like, we had entire training courses.” - Mike Pompeo
The West needs to decide what they want. Stop the "as long as it takes", choose gaols to achieve, give weapons, let Ukraine military do they job. Or go the other way. Image the support they enjoy now at the beginning of the war, when Russia had no idea what they where doing, and caught up in traffic jams.

I find it very odd that the Ukrainian draft age is now something like 25 to 27. When I did my military service there were young men of 17 in the intake. And as a note of interest the average age of those young pilots in the battle of Britain was just 20 years old! Why does Ukraine have such a different approach to this age requirement.?
I think they want to keep enough young men to ensure a future generation. Otherwise they'll be restricted procreation and workforce
Listen to how the Ukrainians value life, doing all they can to save each other. It is so obvious which side has humanity. Slava Ukraine.
You don’t have to start every response with the word “so”

Can you interview Jake Broe, please?
This is an excellent reporter
A question was asked in a previous comment -- "Why are they (the US) forcing Ukraine to fight with both hands tied behind their backs?" -- The answer to that is very simple. The US simply does not want Ukraine to win the war, because if Ukraine prevails, the US might lose its control over Ukraine. And if Russia collapses, NATO might be facing the Chinese and the Turks at the gates of Helsinki, Kiev, and Berlin. And who in the West wants this to happen?

it is weird that a substandard graduate of a Moscow military academy like Syrsky is being lionized as a supreme Western general when he literally has no training that would make him better than one of the lower Russian commanders in the conflict. Moreover, most of the equipment Ukraine used in its successful attacks were led by old Russian T-64 tanks that were Ukraine's toughest vehicles at the time
I find it strange that the last of Zelenski's cheerleaders are British. With its tiny army and two ships it should aptly be called Little Britain not Great Britain, Especially since its leading political leaders in England, Scotland and Wales are Indians, Pakistanis and Africans

This commander in the trenches fighting on the side of Ukraine defending basically hand to hand combat is a treasure to the Ukrainian troops in the trenches on the border, please give this commander the highest award for valor and promote this man after he is medically treated for the burns 🔥 on his legs. This is the difference between the Russian troops and the Ukrainian troops, they fight for a paycheck for there families back home in Russia and the Ukrainian army fights for there fellow troops and homelands. There spirit and courage is exceptional, there bravery amongst fire is a true testimony of there brother hood for each other. The russian troops are lucky to get fed from there own commanders who just the majority of the time just belt out orders. God bless the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian troops and military against russia's blatantly selfish invasion by Vladimir Putin who I pray will be removed from power by any means possible! He is a war criminal that is only in this invasion for his own conquest leaving the Russian people to suffer losing loved ones and depletion of the russian treasury to make it more difficult on the culture and economy of the russian people. The West will continue the military aid, food, and medical assistance needed by Ukraine. DD. 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇳

The White House position on weapons usage has to go altogether. The current policy makes Ukraine a proxy of the US admin. It's not a good look and the policy directly detracts from Ukraine's ability to defend itself and win battles. The policy is also completely irrational as it encourages ruZzia to attack.
