Putin's losses could cause him political problems as further mobilisation likely | Matthew Savill

Putin's push to gain ground in Ukraine ahead of the US election carries the political risk of further mobilisations as losses mount, RUSI's Director of Military Sciences Matthew Savill tells Frontline on #timesradio

The oil/gas refineries are a problem in Moscow winter. That equipment is foreign, old, badly maintained. So expect a very cold winter in Moscow and in the trenches. Ukrainians are receiving more aid, Russian wealth fund is nearly empty, making obsolete weapons.

Lots of bots here who can’t even spell the British city they claim to come from.

I don't like all these continuous talks about negotiations. We must defeat the dictator

2.5 years for a 10 day war, what was Putin thinking?

[timothyniesen]

I like Hanson and his enthusism for the Ukrainian cause, but he ignores that fact that you cannot give weapons sensitive for fear of them selling it to the Chinese. American/Nato background support for the F16 is not suitable. The Swedish planes have been put in that space. They are not sensative to theft and are of no consequence risk.

[rogerwilco]

I believe a 129 F-16s have been pledged to Ukraine, and some Mirages as well.
Not all of them airworthy though, a couple dozen are mostly for spare parts.

Russia just doubled the initial, one time payment for individuals who sign a contract to fight in ukraine.

Its been increased to $4600. Considering many thousands were willing to sign up when it was only $2300, im guessing putin will unfortunately have many more thousands who decide to fight.

Ukrainer...haltet durch...der Sieg MUSS euer sein !

Ukrainian losses are causing Zelensky lack of men. Zelensky's mobilization is not replacing the losses. The title of this video contains the word 'could'. Could, would or should does not work a in war. Could, would or should are used for wishful thinking policies. God knows, we heard enough of that in this war by politicians, media and military brass. Look at a map where the front is moving.

so what he says Russian looses could be a problem but Ukraine looses which are 4-5 times more no problem maybe not to him not so sure about Ukraine how they feel

There are many more cheerleaders than trained warriors.

It's about time 🙏 archangel st.micheal with change now 👍 now more in favor 🙌 for Ukraine 🇺🇦 is about to happen 🙏 God blessed 🙌 those who will turn against the dictators 🙏

[andersgrassman]

And a few days later Ukraine went on the offence in Kursk...

[rogerrantz]

The 16s free up the himars and patriots to allow them to target more russian jets. The 16s combine their radar

[JustinGrantDuffiofqrnpqv]

Quite awesome power the Russians still seem to be exerting over poor Ukraine. We must continue to support Ukrainian aerospatial developments so that they stand a fair chance to win.

[ronvanderplight]

Can't happen soon enough! However when cornered! His irrational cruelty, will become, ,,insanity !

[jamiemunro]

Why don’t Putin mobile them rich kids from Moscow and send them to the front and chat with the Ukrainians

[IvaTaiwan-uz]

Civil war broke out in 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 UK already 😭😭🔥

[WilliamHyres]

Europe and the US need to increase support of Ukraine until Russia is defeated and has to retreat from all Ukrainian territories. This should be done now. No more dithering.
