9:15 I am increasingly embarrassed and frustrated by my own country, the USA, and other so-called freedom-loving nations of the West and their lackadaisical attitude toward the war. Perhaps we need a geopolitical definition of "freedom" which these nations could digest, then rally around THAT flag. However, even with the Ukrainian conflagration on their doorstep, I doubt they can find a common cause to rouse them out of their comfort zones. Today I'm commenting from Przemysl Poland, poised to reenter Ukraine in a few hours. This will be my 5th 90-day-visa-free work period developing the Resilient Village project in the first villages north of Kyiv.

[@cheriemorey4728]

A lot of the money doesn't go directly to them. I understand the recent big funding allowance means they can supply Ukraine with weapons that they have in stock and the money goes towards buying America new and better weapons for themselves so it is a win for both of them and it is supporting the American economy but a lot of Americans don't realise that and they whinge about it.

[@tawektawek3838]

Almost all wars end in negotiations. Usually it happens when both sides are utterly exhausted. However, Ukraine's negotiating position needs to be as strong as it can be. Of course, because Putin has broken almost every agreement his country has signed, that makes any such negotiations far harder. It also makes Ukraine joining NATO and the EU an inevitability.

[@terryross2388]

@@tawektawek3838 Russia is so exhausted that it has liberated more territory in 6 weeks than Ukraine's counteroffensive occupied in 8 months. And Russia is doing this with just a small fraction of its military forces. While Ukraine continues to launch long range missile and drone attacks on Russian regions , Russia will advance to create a buffer zone.

So, the Swiss summit with Zelensky's "peace formula" was a bit of a mess. The main idea was to get not just Western countries but also big players from the "global south" - China, India, Brazil, and South Africa - to discuss and approve Zelensky's plan as the main peace proposal. But then, the big three BRICS partners of Russia all refused to send leaders to the event. We don't know what India's stance is yet And Hungary vetoed a resolution from the Council of Europe saying that there's no alternative to Zelensky's peace plan and they called for real peace talks to start with Russia involved. So, it's looking like most of the main leaders from the "global south" countries won't be at the meeting in Switzerland right now. South Africa and Brazil have both said they won't attend, and it's a big unknown whether China will be there or not." If they're not, it'll be a total flop. It's not worth having a conference with our allies if they're all missing, that's what Alexey Goncharenko, a Ukrainian MP, said.

Last year's Ukraine much-hyped and well resourced counteroffensive resulted in gains of only 199 square miles (515 square kilometers) worth of territory by December, according to the Washington Post. Russia has taken 553 square miles (1,432 square kilometers) so far this year, of which 294 (761 square kilometers) just since the beginning of April, the US outlet noted. The data is sourced from the Institute for the Study of War, a DC-based think tank run by Kimberly Kagan - sister-in-law of Victoria Nuland, the former US State Department official in charge of Ukraine. So Ukraine counteroffensive took less territory in 6 months than Russia has taken in 6 weeks!! But according to Dom , Russia is on its knees and a 15:00 he claims Russia has still not managed to recover a much territory as Ukraine gained in its counteroffensive.

The chap who compared a failed Ukraine offensive to a successful Russian walk in is totally a propagandist. This channel, this so called reporting is just a bunch of rubbish. Wake up and report the real events.

Dom talking about wearing a suit in the office is a good one Dom, that really sticks it to Zelensky when he is abroad that scruffy Zelensky has never seen wearing a suit. 600,000 dead, 1.2 million injured, that will never work again let alone fight again, when is he going to put his daughter on the front line? Is this why he does not allow the election to take place, would it mean along with his daughter being sent to the battlefields, he and his wife would gladly go along with his daughter? He is a patriot willing to die for the cause, is he not?

@peterthompson6651. He wore suits prior to the war, He would be Russia’s top prestige target. More of a liability to the soldiers in his group than any help, their main job would be protecting the president rather than sticking to the task in hand.

Don’t get me wrong I support Ukraine always no matter what but let me ask this question While the West is providing treasure for the Ukrainian effort how is it possible that every able bodied person in Ukraine is not being trained in the defense of their homeland I’m hearing about shortages of personnel because of reserving their youth, of persons fleeing the country of persons dodging military service I just don’t understand Do they realize that if there is no victory there is no future Smh a lot seems we care more than they do

[@sebastianforbes1]

- what future... no economy, no education, no jobs, no money, no productivity... lots of debt ?

There needs to be adequate personnel to fight Putin and win this war. The youth are being trained, but they are not called yet because Ukraine needs them to rebuild. I just pray the West get them the help they need so they never need to go to the front.
