    When she says "international community" she means the U.S. and the E.U. following.

    The Russian army was supposed to have run out of food in March, and now they'll be 'exhausted' after taking Donetsk. I guess anyone would be after going 3 months without eating.
  • Dear Lord Dannat: How can Russia be exhausted and resurgent at the same time?
  • Win Win for defense contractors. Big loss for Seniors, health Care and Education. STOP this insanity!!
  • This general doesn't understand the Geography of Ukraine at all. If donbas falls then there are literally no fortified bases for ukraine for up till the dnieper river. Its all just plain fields and stuff from there so russia will surely very very quickly extend till dnieper river once it gets donbas
  • "We (the west) should do nothing" also him 5 seconds later: "we need to continue pouring in weapons and ammunition"
  • @stratfordbaby
    The Russians have Luhansk so let's move on with the next stage of analysis. This interview was old news when it aired.
  • Over the last 30 years or so, your Western armies are used to fighting ragtag armies with no air force or air defenses. This is a different ballgame. Your mercenaries can attest to that..
  • The expansions of NATO, and the threatened expansions of NATO, have poked the bear and did not add to the security of my home in the U.S.. Western governments have, however, succeeded in adding to the wealth of the military-industrial complex. Mission accomplished.
  • It's surreal how deluded these guys are about the reality of what's happening in the Ukraine, ie Russia outright destroying the Ukrainian army.
  • @ednorton47
    This war has been a real moneymaker for the most important people.
  • "The only thing we learn from history is that we don't learn anything from history" - Warren Buffett "There is no such thing as Collective guilt" - Mark A. Ferguson
  • Zelenkys army is advancing. The problem is, they are 'advancing' towards Kiev
  • The Donetsk and Luhansk people voted by a vast majority for autonomy years ago as did Crimea. Following the Minsk agreement would have saved the lives of thousands of Ukrainians. This pouring into Ukraine vast sums of money and arms so they can die fighting nato’s proxy war is just immoral and pointless.
  • @markward3981
    This is not completely realistic and still giving a propaganda spin. Russia has a lot room to expand before becoming exhausted. Also if Russia takes Lugansk then stall , they will regroup and come back to hammer harder.
  • @j.burgess4459
    So the Russians will achieve their stated war objectives...but, we must all understand, they wont have "won"...? Without wanting to be trite, this reminds me a bit of the Dutch national football team back in 1970s that lost the World Cup final to West Germany, but claimed to be the "moral victors"...
  • @2Oldcoots
    We need Ms. Ridge here in the USA to interview our leaders. She knows how to do it properly without putting he own wishes, thoughts, and ideas into the mix. Very Well Done madam!
  • It's the first I heard logical reasoning from Sky. Great job Lord Dannett
