‘General Armageddon’ arrested in post-coup purge | Ukraine The Latest| Podcast

Day 490.

Today, we bring you the latest updates from the front line including a dispatch from our Foreign Correspondent James Kilner on what’s next for Yevgeny Prigozhin and can he stay alive. We discuss whether a state can remain neutral in the face of Russia’s blatant disregard for international norms and ask a former tank unit commanding officer how could Ukraine breach Russia’s extensive obstacle belt.

Its time to say the unsayable that the Swiss are not only cowardly but more interested in money.What a pity.

[RasakBlood]

Neutrality is just letting others decide.

[hughjanus]

Irish neutrality is the equivalent of popping out for beers but not buying a round. Ever.

[hmmcinerney]

I’m embarrassed by my country’s neutrality in the face of Ukraines suffering. I’m in Ireland.

It appears that these nations have decided the blaze in the orphanage is perfectly okay.

We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented - Elie Wiesel

The latest?. Ukraine/NATO/UK/America are still losing this unwinnable skirmish. The end.

[speedyguydima]

Quite interesting listening to these podcasts in hindsight, knowing how false this reporting is

[balthiersgirl]

And where are the Ukrainian general's haven't seen them in weeks

[ccc_the_painful_truth]

Nice Gothic script, Telegraph. Would look good with the cross on the side of Ukrainian tanks.

I am Austrian (tho with a Ukranian girlfriend so certainly biased). The audacity of so many Austrians (not only the government) to claim they are neutral is infuriating.

[manoftheroad]

Inspiring.. Ukrainian men must return to Ukraine and join military and fight .. fortunately this had been raised at EU level ..Ukainian men must return

[davidcau]

I live in Austria and am so angry about Austria s neutrality stance - a cop-out at every level. Am also bewildered that many of my friends and acquaintances here share that view. Totalling incomprehensible to me.

[JonasWaldmensch]

Superb journalism! Greetings from Germany 💜

[tomonabudget]

Hasn't Prigozhin been spotted in St Petersburg since he flew to Minsk?

[Jazzisa]

Russian trolls are getting worse here. Whatever, it's funny stuff and more engagement just boosts the visibility of this channel anyway XD.

[travelswithted]

‘That’s my big takeaway, that and a hangover anyway’ 😂

[gabber_]

let's see how the tankies explain this one

[rogerbeck]

yes I agree that only history will be able to tell the 'success' of the special military cooking show

[steve-real]

I would fly out to the UK for a meet and great cocktail hour with the Ukraine The Latest team. Do they have cocktail party’s there?
