Wrong. China and India are the key to withdrawing Russia from Ukraine, as you have military tensions between China and Russia in Manchuria you can outshine the RUS China relation with a stronger relation between Ukraine and China. Where do you think all of the Mavic drones come from ? A weapon that has disabled 200 k RUS soldiers. And the current shells ? they come from India, Indo and Thailand !

@@server1ok countries that have serious boarder disputes themselves but who act like they don't indeed are the key why such degenerative situations are even possible. ukraine received shells, and that's nice, but what exactly china and india expect from their future by supporting both sides? absolutely nothing good, they are simply profiting here and now.

@@VM-hl8ms Profits are good. Profit leads to a behavior which can be analyzed and worked with unlike the self destructive acts of Russia where Russia itself doesn't know how it will act in the future. You realize that the Kerch bridge and Crimea is the last outpost of the upcoming Silk Road. A massive trade channel that includes China, India and cheap garments from Iran. This channel will ultimately outgrow Europe ( it's already bigger in non parity terms aka counting goods and not a synthetic currency value ) and by taking control of the road and working with the East instead of against it, this is the way to secure and regain Crimea. If this is what the AFU really wants ? idk. but they will never win by pure military force, the AFU must have trade allies outside of Europe. This is a matter of survival and something that I'm writing a report about that goes several steps deeper than this KZbin channel

An answer to @VM-hl8ms Exclude the shipping lanes. The reason why the current silk road stops in Crimea is the EU. The EU is unable to compete or accept the production standard of the East and is "protecting" everybody from a free competition. Does this justify the annexation of Crimea ? No. That's a separate issue. There are many outcomes. As is, with Crimea being Russian and Kiev joining the EU, the Crimean peninsula is the last outpost of the upcoming low tax regime "trade network". The only stable way to regain Crimea is to join with a global trade and avoid trade cartels with any nation or block, be it Russia or the EU. For example. If Ukraine wants to trade with the commonwealth ? this is a non exclusive pact. Meaning. You join and are free to join whatever else and there are no punishing tariffs. The US ( + Canada and Mexico ) is also a relatively free trade block ( it used to be free 50 years ago ) and so on. Ukraine needs to check a long list of agreements and not immediately jump into the most restrictive and exclusive agreement. ( stop banning this please )

Your assessment of India is accurate. India depends on Russia for 1. UN SC veto 2. Cheap weapons, but India is diversifying its sources 3. Balancing China and Pakistan. Less important are Nuclear reactor and Fuel, Commodities for both import as well as export. The older generation is tilted towards Soviets. Young generation too is pro Russian, that's because the only war that India won properly was the 1971 war that led to the division of Pakistan.

Always prefer smaller countries or unions of smaller countries as partners. Big ones might always apply some "power play" if it fits their interests. That's why the English language is such an important tool, uniting all those who "aren't important enough" to have foreigners learn its language. ..unlike Chinese/Mandarin.

Ukraine has often complained that Australia isn’t doing enough to help it defend against the war that Russia started.

@paul1979uk2000 Ай бұрын

So basically, what you are saying is that Australia shouldn't help Ukraine because of actions of the EU from the past? Can't you see the flaw with your argument? Regardless of what actions the EU have done with Australia is irrelevant on a country like Ukraine that is being invaded, and sometimes you just have to do the right thing because if nobody does, well we've seen through history how quickly things that flair up into something major if the foot isn't firmly put down to prevent it. Besides, the EU and its members have put a lot of resources into Ukraine, far more than even the US have done, where the EU could be doing better on is on the military front, where the US is doing better on that when it comes to Ukraine.

@seanlander9321 Ай бұрын

@@paul1979uk2000 Nope. What I’m saying is that Australia, just like America, is fed up with Europeans using them. Nothing changes, it’s simply deplorable the way that Europeans expect other countries to bend over for their benefit. Due to the refusal of Europeans to support mutual alliances it’s not worth continuing to waste our resources on them unless they stop waging economic warfare on us.

It's not luck nor a personal preference of the PM of Japan. Support for Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees is closely linked to Chinese aspirations towards invading Taiwan. If you cannot understand that, you're basically clueless in Asian geopolitics. And India maintains close relations with Russia to counterbalance China. Russian diplomats in Japan speak near-native Japanese, including their ambassadors. During the initial invasion, the previous Russian Ambassador was on Japanese TV almost everyday explaining Russia's position to the Japanese public. Their understanding of Japan is at par or even superior to diplomats from South Korea, Taiwan, China, and Mongolia. In fact, Imperial Russia started teaching East Asian languages, culture, and history in the 1820s, even before they seized Outer Manchuria (aka Russian Far East) from the Qing Dynasty in the 1860s. To date, those who have studied Japanese and Japan-related subjects in former Soviet universities are one of the most fluent in language, history, culture, society, etc. And they train experts for every neighboring country, which is why they are so effective, admired, and feared. Japan signed three alliances in the 20th century with the UK, Germany, and later the US to deter Russian/Soviet advancement into East Asia. And we've fought multiple wars with Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union. For that reason, 1/3 of all Japanese military assets are still located adjacent to Russian territory. Both sides are mindful that an unnecessary escalation can easily result in a real war, which is why both sides keep it contained. It's why Japan doesn't get overly involved in military affairs between Ukraine and Russia.

True, there's no such thing as being neutral, any event that happens will either impact a country that's being neutral in a positive or negative way and I always feel that countries that want to be neutral are picking the coward way out, not wanting to put any political or economic clout behind an idea or doing the right thing and want other countries to put there necks on the line whiles taking more of the burden. I can understand many countries not wanting to get involved in many situations, but sometimes, you just have to do the right thing when needed, after all, imagine if most countries were neutral and didn't get involved, the countries with dictators would have a field day out there lol.

Not clear at all what kind of roles Ukraine will promise to take and if it will become a trust worthy nation in the long run to have relations with after the war. As far as I know, Ukraine was one of the most corrupt nations after Russia. This uncertainty is the most important thing to get lasting support it needs but wining out gradually from the West and Asian counties like Japan, S.Korea and Taiwan. Ukraine's first task is to make it to be trustworthy country to invest once it becomes EU. My govt supporting Ukraine so far is okay with me in order to help it protect against the illegal invasion by Russia. But when it comes to doing business with them? It appears to me that Ukraine's business practices are the same as India's policy making as she explained of it why India acts the way it does. Partnership isn't like that. This interview is not worth watching for the citizens of many countries currently supporting financially. This is my first time to watch Kyiv Post. And I disappointed with it as it doesn't meet my expectation in quality.

the first thing ukrainians should learn is to stop talking too much about the asians and treat them as inferiors. they should swallow some bitter truths about geo-politics and try not to make fun of or criticise countries like india china or africa. They should by now have realised that even their so called allies still trade with russia one way or another. I just feel that due to the pressure they show their frustration too much in public (even criticising china in this interview ). I have strongly doubt that these bunch of people have capacity to negotiate.
