A pivotal moment in Putin’s war | Ukraine: The Latest Video Special from Washington DC

The Telegraph’s podcast team were on stage at the British Embassy in Washington for a subscriber-only live event.
Conscription is Vladimir Putin’s “achilles heel” and he does not have the combat forces he requires to sustain a long war in Ukraine, says Dr Kimberly Kagan, president of the Institute for the Study of War.
Speaking at a live recording of The Telegraph’s Ukraine: The Latest podcast, at the British Embassy in Washington DC, Ms Kagan said the upcoming round of conscription in Russia will be a “period of great political tension” for Putin and that he fears what its effects could be as the country heads towards a general election next year.

As a Ukrainian living in the USA it brought tears to my eyes to see people out there with such a deep understanding of the nature of this war and all the atrocities and suffering that it brought to my home land. My biggest nightmare is the world simply giving in and stop supporting Ukraine. This one gave me some hope.

[@kevinlang9792]

As an American living in the USA it brings tears to my eyes to hear how intent my country is on it's policy of perpetual war for perpetual peace. To rape and pillage Ukraine of all it's assets while indebting the country to the west's corrupt financial sector which benefits from every dead Ukrainian and every obliterated piece of infrastructure. This farcical group of secular Jews sitting in front of an obscenely sized Ukrainian flag have nothing to add but western self-enrichment and eastern misery.

That would have been the force NATO would face in a potential war. Now Russia has the opportunity to learn, grow and correct their outdated military doctrine against a NATO trained force, witch they have already begun to do. Not to mention the many veterans with extensive battlefield experience they are gaining. Even with only 1/3 their pre-war material stockpile they would be a more fearsome foe to fight now, than when the war began.

If there is one surprise in all of this, it is that the West - while watching Russia break all international laws - then uses the excuse that international law prevents it from sending troops and materiel to the Ukraine because the Ukraine is not a lawful member of NATO... An analogy is that the West is like a civilian watching an assault in the street and doing little because that particular civilian believes it is the victim's duty to save himself and not the civilian's. The civilian is happy to observe and pass weapons to the poor victim but not help him physically. Good people get more involved, don't they? Collective security against an invasion should not depend on law. We should not hide behind the law when the assailant isn't bothered with such niceties. In other words, why the hell are our troops not in there with the Ukrainians pushing the Russian Army out? Because of the feeble argument that the Ukraine is not a member of our club. Arrrgh.

I have supported 🇺🇦👍🏻 , and followed many podcast for Ukrainian freedom , and will into the future. I have learned many things … some bad , but more good than bad. I find that Ukraine’s hopes , and dreams for Democracy is very much comparable to most of the world’s Democracy … FOR THE PEOPLE , BY THE PEOPLE ❤ . Democracy isn’t perfect however we the people are free to improve on it ; by removing our loopholes when discovered , and removing bad leaders , laws etc. , and replacing both with good leaders , and laws as needed .

Projection from the 'lady' on the panel when she claims Russia wants to commit genocide on the language, culture and people. The Hungarian's in Ukraine that are being collected and thrown into the war, the banning of the Russian language, culture and monuments and the war on the seperatist's seems to be ignored by this professional propagandist.

[@Alien9828]

[@pistonburner6448]

@@sportsfanivosevic9885 Wrong, Ivan. We know for a fact that russia has a consistent pattern of actually committing genocide on languages, cultures and people. They've done it countless times and will never stop. It hasn't stopped. To your detriment, to the detriment of your childish lies, I and many others know of the decades of work done by international organisations to try to save countless languages which have purposefully been destroyed in the Soviet Union and russia over decades and decades, without any let-up. Or they've tried to at least record and document those languages before they've completely disappeared. It is a fact that russia has systematically deported indigenous people and brought in ethnic russians for the exact purpose of taking ethnic control of new areas, as well as for the purpose of creating fake grounds for invading larger areas. Just as has happened in the Eastern parts of Ukraine: it was a deliberate tactic of strong-arming or starving lots of Ukrainians away from there, and by strategically transporting in massive amounts of ethnic russians as an invasionary tactic. It has been done over decades and decades, but it has all been planned. They did the same in Estonia with the huge masses of ethnic russians which were transported there by the russian regime earlier. They had also transported massive amounts of Estonians away from Estonia into Siberia and other areas. But Estonia lucked out as they managed to use the small window of opportunity to gain independence and join NATO...and still russia tried to use those planned "invasion groups" to strong-arm Estonia.

According to Forbes Magazine, Direct military spending and the cost of Russia's lost equipment over 18 months of the war (from 24 February 2022 to 24 August 2023) is about US$167.3 billion. This estimate does not include constant defence spending not related to military operations, as well as economic losses of the aggressor country. The largest items of expenditure: ensuring military operations (US$51.3 billion), salaries of the servicemen (US$35.1 billion), compensation to the families of the dead (US$25.6 billion) and wounded (US$21 billion) and the cost of destroyed equipment (US$34 billion). If no corruption, this means 372 000 dead with payments to family members and 508 000 wounded

Great preliminary comments about sensitivity & challenging conditions on the ground. With all the info great info coming from them, it was also interesting to notice that the president and founder of ISW is a woman (Kim Kagan); on a semi-related subject, the main cartographer and GIS expert for the Vatican is also a woman. Hurray to the map-makers, this visual format is oftentimes the best way to shape policy.

[@mikek.1761]

Yes, also Victoria Nuland is a woman, sister in law of Kim. Unlike Robert Kagan, Victoria's husband. The co-founder of PNAC. He's a man. Not sure this is the crowd people should listen to, no matter if they are women or men. It is good Vs evil.

It was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto who saw the potential of the United States’ Industrial Industry had if the US were to be brought into a war.
