Splits emerge in Kremlin as Putin ally sidelined in Kursk defence command | Robert Fox

"There's a much less confident Putin. He is going all over the place."

The Kursk incursion has caused splits in the Kremlin as infighting among Russian commanders emerged in the Russian response to invasion, Defence Editor of The Evening Standard Robert Fox tells Kate Gerbeau on Frontline.

Robert Fox. A man who has seen history. Finding an early image is hard because he reported the news rather than promoting himself. An honour to hear his opinion over the last 50 years.

Historically the biggest threat to dictators comes from military high command.

Ukraine is known as a serious place to be for engineers. It shows in how fast they can adopt Western tech and develop their own.

I just want to say I have been watching Kate Gerbeau a long time now and she is one excellent reporter and so very professional at her job.
Thank you very much Kate Gerbeau for your excellent reporting.
👍🇮🇪👍

What putiny doesn't realize is that Ukraine has some of the most intelligent war generals designing their offensive and defensive operations.

Yesterday General Ben Hodges had the right answer to the drones and missiles from Russia to the civilian targets and that's "Go after the archer rather than the arrows." The US giving more air defense is a waste of money. As this Mr. Fox says here as well, Ukraine has to be able to use long range weapons strike the places in Russia where the drones and missiles are being launched. It's been the timidity of lack of imagination of the Americans from the very beginning who have tied the hands of Ukrainians. Thankfully they are now developing their own ballistic missiles. Great, informative interview of Mr. Robert Fox. Thank you Ms. Gerbeau.

Mr Fox said it correctly. "Never say that about Ukraine" - Ukraine constantly is underestimated. By everyone.

NATO did not plant itself on Russia's borders, this was totally done by the countries involved and protecting themselves. All Countries have the right to "Self Determination"

How to ensure a project is a failure: put a committee of four sycophants that hate each other in charge of it.

So good to see Kate Gerbeau back again. The adult voice of reason.
Kate Gerbeau always, and her guests, usually, are the best things on Times Radio.

Putin might be one plane crash away from being destituted

Enjoyed the interview thoroughly. Robert Fox's expertise is unmatched on global issues and Kate Gerbeau is a wonderful interviewer (she had the good sense of marry a Frenchman!😉)

[AnonymousAlcoholic]

Probably the best interview on the subject times radio has done in my memory

[philiplbrown]

Robert Fox is one of the few grown ups that I enjoy listening to.

[davefairburn]

Mr. Fox makes so much sense, the WH should take notes.

[JaroslavP]
