How the West is racing to stop Ukraine's guns falling silent | Ukraine: The Latest | Podcast

Day 194. Today, we discuss the latest updates from the Ukrainian counter attack in the south, talk about the Russian telegram channels that give us a different understanding of the conflict than state media, and analyse questions of weapon and ammunition supply from the West to Ukraine.
Plus, we reflect on the UK's change of Prime Minister, as the Johnson era ends and the Truss one begins.

Ordinary Ukrainians certainly are not shielded from Putin’s genocide against their country. And this war meets every definition of genocide. Putin is flattening whole cities, murdering tens of thousands of citizens, erasing Ukrainian language and culture in occupied regions, and shipping captured Ukrainians off to camps for dispersal into Russia. So, why shouldn’t ordinary Russians also feel the pain of Putin’s idiotic war?

He says the Ukranian advance is not a breakthrough, it is incremental, but in the context of this war, it suggests the offensive is going their way ! Does it sound he is trying very hard to talk up Ukraine's prospects, to save the west's face ?

[@draganjagodic4056]

Wise considerations, about minding the NATO defense ability, in the case of, Heaven forbid, direct threat to some NATO country. Actually, some Croat security analysts, with the experience from our defense war 1991-1995, said at the beginning, that Russian invasion might be a diversion from something more sinister, looming "behind the hill".

[@alainlefebvre9860]

Well, if the plan was to weaken Russia before a larger, more sinister operation, without losing a single NATO Troup, then I guess they've succeeded. Now, the west needs to ramp up all weapons factories even if just to escalate shipments to Ukraine. The west, other than the US, has been too lax for too long.

[@NullHand]

Satellites can see "behind" all hills. That's why USA was strongly warning about the imminent invasion when everyone else in Europe including Ukraine was saying it was just a bluff.

[@HeBeDrGB]

The US manufacturer produces 650 GMLRS rockets PER MONTH... That's it and it's going to take 18 months before the production can double...

[@KaijaKFanpages]

I do not think that it is realistic that Russian Federation is going to attack right now. I think that Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland would be an impossible goal right now to conquer. This war's duration will be calculated in years, not in months, if we do not give Ukrainians ATACMS'es, which could end the war in months, unless there are serious production issues with ATACMS'es!?

[@brianwhetton9621]

I disagree with the idea that the west cannot sanction items that affect rUSSIAN civilians. THE Ukrainian population has been & still is being targeted targeted by ratshits artillery & missiles who are being wounded & killed: the rUSSIANS are not so a little discomfort from sanctions is not unreasonable. I would like to see standardisation of weapons, aircraft, vehicles for democratic nations to facilitate interoperability within the various services. It’s really important to have coordinated support for Ukraine placed on a formal basis so that all democracies share this “load” according to their ability. Ukraine must not fail. By not supplying them with all the weapons they need to defeat the invaders is like tying one hand behind their back. WHY ? It’s in our interests to have a victory sooner than later. VICTORY to UKRAINE.

[@KaijaKFanpages]

Slava ukraini!!!

[@cenccenc946]

There is a terrible misunderstanding being advanced in this interview: that western military doctorine depends on short-range weapons such as HIMARS, Artillery, Javilins, etc. Even tanks are a a short range weapon and of limited use. Those manufacturing capabilities have been dialed back, exactly because they are not intended to be used. Any modern western army, that needs say a anti-tank round with 2 km range, is already in such trouble, they are not going to help much anyway. It is based on total air and ground domination, via drones, long range missiles, planes, etc, that a solider never gets so close that they even see the enemy; and, thus, they are never in danger in the first place. This has been the basis since the first Gulf war. It is also why casualties for all the conflicts since have been so low. So far, the war in Ukraine has proven that russia could have never fought such a war successfully, nor could they defend against one. So, not too worry about those stock-piles being depleted, or manufacturing capabilities, beyond the ability to supply Ukraine.

[@BeaverZer0]

Agreed, manufacturing is ramped down to almost non existant levels because unlike Russia, the West doesn't stockpile weapons that will be useless and broken when we go to use them, so we only have what we could reasonably use. Since there were no wars to use them in, noone was ordering them. Orders for new weapons have just spiked.. Besides , USA still has 3 Javalin for every single Russian owned tank.

[@Rainhands22]

Is HIMARS really considered short range?

[@stevecallum7933]

Hate to be contraversial but its a pity the UK cant be as fast in delivering a proper plan of action to sort out the looming cost of living crisis that the poor and working masses now face. Every other country has something already in place except the UK whos government prefer to waste time and many weeks deciding which Conservative idiot should rule next! The UK government were quick to send millions of UK money to the Ukraine, and its right we help support their fight to be free, but in consequence the UK government have put NOTHING in place yet to help with the soaring energy bills. As usual the Tories are quick to help any other country in need but their own, until the nation stands up and says "Enough is enough!"

Weapons supplied by the USA government to Ukraine emit more carbon pollution and are more harmful than those from farmers. Farmers have gone bankrupt, agriculture has shrunk, there are fewer taxpayers, and more people are receiving welfare. Is it necessary to raise taxes again? The decline in grain output is one of the most important reasons for inflation. Should the government allocate funds to subsidize farmers, support agriculture, reduce grain prices, and control inflation? Is inflation the most urgent issue now related to people's lives?

[@arthurrafferty4102]

Why are we even involved in this conflict. I know our stupid politicians involved us in it but while they have no consequences we on the other hand are shouldering the burden. It was they that jumped to impose sanctions and now complain about Russia striking back. I want these politicians gone as their interest is for the citizens of another country more than those of their own. We are going to pay huge bills for food and energy and perhaps worse the commercial and industrial fabric of our society is being decimated.
