'50,000 Russian soldiers face being encircled' at Bakhmut | Maj. Gen. Chip Chapman

"Maybe up to 50,000 soldiers face being encircled, that can have a cascading impact."
Arrests and firings of senior figures in Russia's military could have an 'accelerating disunity' among Russia's troops in Ukraine says Major General Chip Chapman on #TimesRadio.

Russia is torturing, burning alive (the Mariupol defenders), and castrating Ukrainian prisoners (hundreds documented). The russians have talked about their officers shooting russian soldiers too wounded to fight and then there is the video of that russian soldier committing suicide because he knew there would be no attempt to get him to a hospital. Sad thing is-- Russia already lost the war. Germany didn't lose on D-day. Japan didn't lose when Hiroshima was destroyed. Both lost over a year before that.

With respect to Stalin "giving" some land in the west to Poland, it should be remembered that he also took a lot of land in the east from Poland - including the historic Polish city of Lwow (now Lviv) and a large chunk of Polesia - and gave it to Ukraine, which was of course under his direct control at the time.

[@Qvadratus.]

oh again these Poles are crying about Kievan Rus' lands. it don't belong to you, never was. Stalin never took anything from Poland, he returned Rus' lands. and not even all of it. some was left in Poland where Ukrainians was repressed and moved to the Western Part of Poland from their historic lands.

[@FangPaw]

@@Qvadratus. Why the emotive language and negative tone? 1. If you look at a map of pre-war Poland (389,720 sq km) compared to modern Poland (312,677 sq km), you will see that far more was lost in the east than was gained in the west. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_changes_of_Poland_immediately_after_World_War_II 2. It's a matter of historical perspective. In the 16th and 17th Century, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was one of Europe's largest countries and a military superpower. Kyiv was part of it, and the capital of the Kyiv Voivodeship of Poland. So to say "never was" is factually incorrect. 3. I accept that the Polesian lands to the East of the River Bug were the subject of some contention between Poland and Ukraine before the war. Again, it's a matter of viewpoint. 4. Kievan Rus was a thing in the 11th Century. Not really relevant now. 5. Lviv has been Polish, on-and-off, from 1434. It's never been in Ukraine except for a very brief period in 1918 before returning to Poland when the 2nd Polish Republic was formed in the same year. 6. "again these Poles are crying" is deeply insulting to the Poles (I'm not Polish). Poland has made no moves whatsoever to recover Lviv from Ukraine, was the first to meaningful military aid in the current war, opened its borders to Ukrainian refugees and has given more support, as a percentage of GDP, than any other country.

I I think it’s fairly obvious that the Ukrainians are slow walking their counteroffensive until they have the air power to breakthrough the Russian defenses. It’s the smart play because they have far fewer people to draw from than Russia. Throwing them away is not a option for Ukraine. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

[@louise_rose]

Oh yeah, so they are planning to "keep it slow" for six months? They're losing masses of soldiers and equipment already and there is no sign of it letting up. 😀 What the Ukros are doing is sheer kamikaze tactics but mostly without even getting to the first Russian defence lines - they're getting drubbed and defeated in the minefields.

[@philipgates8693]

And it bothers me that Ukraine hasn’t been given more air defense assets as well as air mobile assets, to allow leap frogging into Crimea.

[@joshuamidwood4600]

The Biden administration is clearly trying to weaken Ukraine by supplying affective weapons incrementally. If you think this administration actually cares about Ukraine you are saddly mistaken. Both Ukraine and Russia need to be blown off the map. Both countries are extremely corrupt and so isnt the USA for that matter. Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing are the only real winners in this conflict.

[@feedyourmind6713]

Yeh, run with that. They've barely made it thru to the second defense line.

They're not 'slow walking', Anton. They're pushing but they are failing. Picture throwing a ripe tomato at a concrete wall. That's the offensive.

[@dpelpal]

After russia was destroyed in Kharkiv and Kherson, russia had to introduce mobilization. A country ten times the size of Ukraine had to _mobilize_ in order to fight some Ukrainian farmers lol. Think about that.

[@phillipdavidhaskett7513]

The memory of America fighting a war with rice farmers comes to mind. No one fights harder than a man fighting for his own land, and that of his neighbors. The Ukrainians have been mobilizing to resist an invader since Napoleon's Grand Armee' and Hilter's Wehrmacht were ground down as they crossed the open steppe on the way to Moscow. The only difference today is the direction of the attack. The resolve of the Ukrainians clearly hasn't diminished.

Hate to break it to ya...but privately the western leaders already know Ukraine has lost the war.

War makes certain people wealthy...and the money comes from taxpayers who are convinced that the Ukraine has a chance to win if only they would "give a little more". That's why the lies must continue...to keep the tax payer paying because when the war stops, the money stops flowing.

These Times interviews by this interviewer are really very good. Informative and well put together. Just to say, on this interview I'm not even half way through and both interviewer and interviewee, have specified talking about Russia doing something. It seems they actually meant to state they were talking about Ukraine, doing something. Possibly easy to do. But if the one spoken doesn't correct, the other needs to (especially if the interviewer). If not the post editing should certainly catch and correct that. It's quite a critical thing to get wrong. Might seem daft. But they'll be people taking it literally that Russia did X good thing, when infact its Ukraine.
