Kurt Volker, distinguished fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, says the Russians aren’t able to “advance and take Ukrainian territory anymore.”

If any of you seriously think Russia is “retreating” you are so I’ll informed I feel bad for you, they are merely falling back to their original objectives, they already accomplished their goals in Ukraine with 1/4 the troops of Ukraine, they may have an offensive soon but it won’t be dumb like Ukraines where they waste thousands of troops on meaningless objectives, they’re going to stabilize they’re lines first, Ukraine will fall in days as soon as nato realizes it’s own citizens hate them and don’t want to support that backward country anymore
who is that idiot????? go …. yurself
Fake news channel
I swear these kinds of news videos feel like they’re auto generated by AI including the characters.
Well, why don’t you just get a communications degree, become the next Walter Cronkite and shake up the news is delivered for the next few generations? Content creators chase trends that get clicks. If you know a better way to do, take their place. It’s a free market.
@@MrFelblood It’s not a free market
It’s pay to play.
@@MrFelblood You’d be surprised to know the reality of this earth.
Your journalism is a huge weakness!!!!
so true 😂😂😂
If this is Russian weakness, then I’d to see when they are strong
They aren’t strong lol. That’s all they got bro. There nukes are old there exactly were they have been for 50 years. Easy to blow up. Mobile launchers are tracked by satellites 24/7 waiting to be disentegrated. There is probably 30 country’s with cross hairs on all his nuke stuff. Trust he’s in a bad spot. ❤
If Russia were strong the war would have been over in March.
Show of weakness my arse. Putin exposed Ukraine for what it is….
I am not taking sides but please, stop poking the bear.
Yeah, western propaganda at brainwashing weak minds at its best. It is apparent that Ukrainian infrastructure will collapse if this won’t stop within a month, meaning that the country will stop existing. We should encourage negotiations and put an end to this
Ukraine flag in bio…..I support the current thing..which is the war machine
Russian bots flooded this comment section Cope more Putin and his death squads are going to lose.
Ukraine is not innocent they need to protect themselves
How exactly is bombing the ever living hell out of a country a sign of weakness!? That’s like saying “breaking his nose in a fight shows your physically weaker” it’s backwards logic.
The argument goes they have to resort to petty bombing and shelling instead of making teritorial gains
If he’s not even bothering to fire on military targets with his best weapons, but “bombing the ever living hell” out of cities, he knows his ground forces are boned, and he isn’t bothering to support them.
This is what happens when you blow up bridges under the guise of democracy. This will continue to get far worse.
@@andydavis3075 but why even bother when you can just sit back and hit ur enemy when they can’t hit you back ?
@@lunatik3395
I’m not a military analytic but my guess is because they could be using this fire power for an attempt to make territorial gains but I think this is more of a retaliatory strike after the crimea bridge incident.
Going after civilians should be war crimes.
This sounds like coping hard
Well if Russia gets any weaker than I guess nato will finally step in! That’s the goal as per Lloyd Austin. So Russia please don’t show any further weakness it will save the world!
There’s more than enough evidence of organized genocide and ethnic cleansing in the Russian occupied regions that NATO should already be involved, but as always nukes and fear weigh more than treaties, honor and ethics.
This stunt from Russia and china is only to see if America will intervene. They never had any intention of taking their land
Sign of weakness? Where do you find these people?
yes. targeting civilian targets is a sign of weakness.
These analysts are a joke.
Ukraine broke the Minske agreement in 2019 by amending their constitution to join NATO. Why the hell are we paying for all this crap we should not be involved with
@@CastleBomb44 you mean like a civilian bridge?
@@Xeno-Zip1 that bridge was a Russian military supply line for Putin’s death squads.
@@CastleBomb44 How? We the United States done it to Japan and they surrendered. You know dropped the Atomic bomb. They had to surrender or they were going to be wiped off the face of the planet. What is crazy is This is another country and hundreds of thousands of Americans are lost when they could have dropped the Atomic bomb sooner. Not a sign of weakness in my opinion.
good job Russia. destroy bidens money laundering operation
America sends 100billion in money and weapons
Western media the Ukraine is strong
No it’s not this is our war and we’re preventing peace talks.
Weakness? Sounds like America’s m-a$$ murder of millions of innocents in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, not to mention Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and North Korea. Po – oor excuses of journali$m. So bl-at-ant it ain’t funny. The “free” press seems to be quick to del-ete posts that go contr-ary to their narrative.
This looks like a withdrawal strike of the corrupt Kremlin. Give Thor missiles and better Air defenses and Air offenses to Ukraine. Target the Caspian Sea.
Fake news
How is it a show of weakness. The USA used shock in awe to in the Gulf. The US lied about IRAQ and used shock in awe. They knew they did not have Nukes but the USA will not talk with Putin. They know he has thousands upon thousands of nukes aimed at all strategic targets in USA and Europe and their allies. They dare even try to bomb Russia or send a plane or drone over them.
Glory to President Putin! $80Billion to the fraudulent cupcake Zelensky. When he goes down it won’t wet my eye none. Let’s go Brandon! Roll Tide!!!
Restraint isn’t weakness
What restraint? Putin is ordering unguided missile strikes in downtown areas. That isn’t restraint, only desperation and dishonor.
@@MrFelblood Could be nukes and it could be a lot of them. He is showing restraint
@@zachschaefer3824 lol this is so stupid it’s actually hilarious.

Why are you media thugs trying to provoke war? You are evil…
Yeah I don’t think so. It’s retaliation. Keep hyping the war.
Well everyone saying its just been putin killing civilians needs to slap themselves because he is claiming when he does it and not hiding the fact he did the bombing. Zelensky has bombed and killed more civilians than Putin. Then tries to blame it on Putin.
Prove it you go ahead….you can’t
@@kl6180 well you cant prove it either. Your source is the west. Im just looking at facts. Coming from Yugoslavia and seeing first hand the deceit that spreads through media. You would have to be braindead to not think it is possible.
Russia launches missile attacks against civilian targets because of its recent battlefield defeats. It cannot outwit its Ukrainian counterpart on the battlefield.
A sign of weakness….sure. The biggest sign of weakness will be the tactical nukes.
Come on people this is a clearly usa-russia war. Don’t play with people intelligence 😂
a Show of weakness? But the attacks by Ukraine on civilians on the Crimea bridge is a show of strength? you people are sick, you are up there with the most propaganda networks ever…
Watching to much Russian propaganda that bridge was a military supply line for Putin’s army.
No matter which western media I watch/read always the same. Russia evil and losing, Ukraine is heroic and vining and overall perfect. It’s so weird that in WW2 you fought against the nat_zis but in the current ww3 you are on their side.b
*At this rate, Putin might have to resort to consulting TripAdvisor;* several months from now, there about; to find a way to scurry in soldiers inside of Ukraine as Tourists, which he can consult The Republican Party about, in terms of pulling it off!
How bout Americans attacking innocent people in the Middle East? Double standard bs!
The one telltale sign that your military has been losing the battle is the bombardment of and on innocent civilians.
How so it didn’t happen to hen America dropped a nuke on japan or are you special?
@@EscapeRealityMedia Did America tried to invade Japan, or it was the other way around, captain genius? 🙄😐
You mean like Ukraine did to Russia’s bridge in Crimea which started this retaliation?
You’re so **** you don’t even know that this war started 8 years ago when the U.S. and the West supported a COUP against Ukraine’s democratically elected President, and when Eastern Ukrainians didn’t like that, Ukraine and it’s NAZIS started shelling innocent civilians all over the East, so to help the innocent Ethnic Russians from being killed, Russia went in to try and stop it. The current war is nothing more than an escalation to try and STOP the war that was already happening, yet instead of peace finally being had, the West again get’s involved causing 100’s of thousands of death, FASCISM all over the place by Ukraine and the West, etc. Russia’s always been imperfect, even during WWII, but today the WEST are the NAZIS.
@@EscapeRealityMedia What about what about what about lol
You do know civilians die during war right ? It’s been going on for thousands of years and not going to stop ? Isn’t that targeting civilians claim been used every video for weeks and weeks ? If it’s true show us the civilian bodies then
The problem is WEF and joe biden! Not Putin!

Ukraine! Take the war to Russia and stop playing defense, wars are one on the offense! Kill or be killed! Your choice! NATO should be ashamed of itself for not allowing Ukraine to join NATO and now NATO has blood on it’s hands with all the people getting killed and cities being destroyed! None of this would have happened if you Ukraine was under the NATO umbrella! Look at all the money and weaponry that’s being dumped into Ukraine, which never would have happened if they were allowed to join NATO! Hang your heads in shame NATO, because you’re despicable!!!
It’s been nearly a year of Russia blowing up buildings and civilians at least what the news shows, but I ask why does Russia think they can win attacking building and civilians and not Ukrainian military 🤔
The Ukrainian military routinely sets up in civilian areas, including schools and hospitals. Even launching attacks from those locations
@@lousassole6969 yet I only hear and see the news report constantly on civilians buildings severely damaged and Ukrainian citizens hurt or killed never including Ukrainian soldiers.
@@lousassole6969 what the hell are you talking about 🤔
@@jerrychandler4430 look up amnesty international “Ukraine: Ukrainian fighting tactics endanger civilians”
@@lousassole6969 no! You look up “You just talking to be talking” I understand tactics but that has nothing to do with Ukraine.

Propaganda ridden channel. Everyone stop watching this useless fake news channel. Let everyone blocked their contents from showing up in our feeds.
So was the bombing of Afghanistan in retaliation of 911 a sign of weakness or how about fleeing the country just so the taliban can take over the country
CNBC is sick to try and push lefts narrative there a super power idiots this war could be over tomorrow if Putin wanted to he could level Ukraine in one millisecond so what’s going on try asking the elite what’s there plan besides rapping tax payers becouse this war we all know is un winnable by Ukraine and if the usa fights it game over world war so what’s the point just the money DISGUSTING
They have only been using about 20 percent of their military so far. How is Russia loosing?
Kurt Volker sounds like a dumbass. Russia is fighting Ukraine and NATO DUDE. If it wasn’t for NATO Ukraine would have fallen long ago son. Russia could turn Ukraine into a parking lot tomorrow if it wanted to.
to have your cities bombed and destroyed is now a show of strength? War Pigs always sing the same song. No one wants to talk about peace.
The left was right about one thing.
Trump will get us into ww3, they just misspelled Biden.
If all the news reports are true then Russia lost the war months ago.
Not able to effect the course of war, are you serious? If you don’t recognize the destruction of infrastructure, thus denying it to the enemy, and the way that effects your opponents ability to make war or even defend against, then you don’t understand preparatory action
Hey Putin Mac — when are you coming back back to life — back to reality — back to the here and now, or are you going to keep slip sliding away!
But it’s totally OKAY for UKRAINE to Attack Civilians in Eastern Ukraine, i.e. the Bridge in Crimea, which is also the whole reason Russia even went to war with Ukraine starting 8 years ago, when Eastern Ukrainians didn’t like the U.S. and the West supporting the COUP replacing Ukraine’s Democratically elected President, and then Ukraine and it’s NAZIS started attacking Eastern civilians over and over again. So, it’s okay for the U.S. to help people around the world INVADING their country’s, especially for OIL such as Syria in their oil region, but it’s NOT okay that Russia does the same helping primarily Ethnic Russians? The West are the NAZIS today… all their Fascism, censorship, confiscations without due process, Xenophobia, etc.
that bridge was a military supply to Putin’s soldiers they were using that line to attack and bombard civilians.
What war is this reporter watching talking about Russia being powerful
A show of weakness.This is war.Many deaths will follow and in the end Russia will annex territories…
Putin will never be anything but a thug working a protection racket. He only knows how to threaten and intimidate people. He has no backup plan when faced by people who refuse to bow down and be enslaved, just because he tries to terrorize them.
He’s slinging out more of the same terror tactics that didn’t work back in April, even though he knows it won’t work will destroy what little credibility Russia has left. That is the mark of a desperate man struggling to look like he is in control.
*Great analyses!* I think he is in a mental state of flux, even he has not ever seen himself in before. Yet, *when some sense of reality breaks through, he will realize what he has done.* It is best his military advisors coax him to understand the reality of his circumstance because it is highly likely he’s going to want to resort to nuclear weapons. However, *he has pilfered so many of billions from the national treasure; that the diverted funds amounts to not maintaining the maintenance on his nuclear armament* (old as they are); to the point that where they launch from would be more in harm’s way than intended targets.
Agreed looks like a desperate man. This fight needs to be fought. As long as unchecked power continues to fester it will continue to bully. I think Putin is weak as hell. A little resistance and he buckled. Resorted to mad hornet syndrome. Can’t wait to disable his nukes and go in hand to hand combat see how tough he is. Watch him run like saddam Hussein.
Russia have said again today that they are open to diplomacy without specifying what that may entail. Why not at least speak to them?? Why all this pushing for war all the time especially considering the stakes.
Thousands of ukrainians are still in those region trapped if Putin takes those regions they will be trapped there forever.The separatists will not let them leave.
Sadly, western Media moved from doing professional journalism reporting news objectively to plain cheap propaganda machines basically repeating what their political leadership wants them to. Which basically what they were blaming RU and CN media to be doing. Quite disappointing that now you will have to do your own research to find the unbiased truth which is not given to most people…
Volker is a descendant of Nazi Germans.
The U.S. is occupied by Nazi Germans since 1935 and is not a democracy. NATO is not a democracy. Ukraine is not a democracy. The EU is not a democracy.
The U.S. is not controlled by the descendants of Americans. The U.S. is controlled by the descendants of Nazis who invaded in 1935 and committed genocide on the American people and NATO is a Nazi organization and an international smuggling ring.
Why is the genocide of the American people not commonly known? That’s how many people they killed in the U.S.
and how much control they have over the U.S.
I have eyewitness accounts, emails, and audio recordings with U.S. Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, a German and former CIA. The U.S. Congress is heavily German. The State Congress’s are much more heavily German.
And these Nazis are still bent on worldwide domination and control. And they don’t care how may people die because they are Nazis.
For instance, these Nazis found Nazis in Ukraine to support. And their hatred for Russia is because if not for Russia the Nazis would have taken over the world and there would have been world wide genocide only seen in Star Wars movies and there would be NO Russia today. All the Russian people would have been executed. All of them. As they did to almost every American in the country.
You do see the head of NATO, Stoltenberg, who is a German with Norwegian citizenship. How many Norwegians were killed during the Nazi occupation? No one really knows. But Stoltenberg’s family stayed alive because they were German. And Stoltenberg’s father just happened to wind up with a very nice position in the Norwegian government and now his son is head of NATO.
WW II is not over yet. And these Germans who occupy and control the US want to finish the destruction of Russia that they started in the beginning of WW II. This is the entire reason for U.S. support of the war in Ukraine and all the wars they have been in since 1945. See, Murder of the Creoles of New Orleans 1935, Youtube. My father was there. I went to school in the USA that was mostly for German kids. I have a half sister and a half brother who have the same Nazi father in the USA.
And Nazi’s murdered people in every country they occupied so they probably control many of those other EU countries as well. NATO is a Nazi organization responsible for the killing of millions around the globe because they are Nazi’s.
Operation Gladio was also a Nazi organization and Operation Paperclip was a Nazi strategy.
WW II is still going on.
Britain? With the outbreak of World War I in the summer of 1914, strong anti-German feeling within Britain caused sensitivity among the royal family about its German roots. Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, also a grandson of Queen Victoria, was the king’s cousin; the queen herself was German. As a result, on June 19, 1917, the king decreed that the royal surname was thereby changed from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor.
Queen Victoria was half-German, her husband German
.
I am French. One of the survivors of the Nazi genocide of the American people that included French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Mexican, Africans, part Africans and many more.
That you and the elites act like I don’t even exist. I am a survivor of the genocide of the American people. I despise all of these people..
There were some who became German surrogates. There was a man name Wilcox in Waveland, MS. He told me he thought it was a racial thing. He said he would never have betrayed his country. Ran the city to his death. He could have sex with any woman he wanted as young as he wanted til his death about 20 years ago. Had the only real estate office there. No one else could. Owned the big shopping center there as well.
People are being killed there all the time. They do it to one another. Depends on what someone has. If they have “too much” they are fair game for those connected to the German elites in that area.
And this is repeated all over the U.S. regularly. All people with no soul, no conscience, no shame.
They are nothing but animals pretending to be human beings.
I am more concerned about if there would be car bombs as that bridge happen in US. You know Bin Laden was CIA trained. And you probably understand what “extremists” means.
And the leaders of ISIS were all recruited from GTMO by the US government.
I pray for all the ukrainian people suffering millions of them all the children who have lost parents and family Palestinians feel your pain we pray for you.
A SHOW OF WEAKNESS SINCE THE BEGINNING, MIGHT YOU ADD,..🙏🏻😌

Being a news commentator is a sign of weakness.
The US “Shock and Awe” in Iraq was a sign of weakness.
Volker is a paid liar, former CIA hack, NATO apologist and neocon war momgerer. People like him are why war is happening in Ukraine and why the nation is perpetually corrupt.
I don’t think the words “show of strength” exist in the lexicon of the Western media in regard to Russia.😂😂😂
What did they expect after making fun of the bridge explosion and continuing to attack the people of Luhansk and Donetsk.
The attack on the bridge was articulated by the USA, Zelensky does not take a step without the US dictating.
And what are the consequences of RUSSIA’s response, obviously only attacks on Ukraine, which is and will be the only one harmed by this war, that Zelensky and the Ukrainian people do not see, that they are only being bullied for US interests.
Many Ukrainian soldiers and civilians are and will die only for the egotistical interests of the USA, as it is not possible that both Europe, together with Ukraine, are being sacrificed for only these interests of the USA.
It is wrong that Russia invaded Ukraine, but it was Ukraine’s fault for not respecting the Minsk treaties and for attacking the people of Luhansk and Donetsk.
In March when it seemed that there were peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, the USA is going to immediately intervene and manipulate Zelensky to continue this war.
Peace will only come if the USA and NATO stop interfering. The only thing that will be achieved is that Russia may get all of Ukraine.
Please wake up you can’t so stupid.
President Putin’s goal was never to take over Ukraine. Why would Russia want that headache corrupt bankrupt country? That’s why there was a Minsk Agreement. The Special Military Operation is to stop the eight plus years of attacks and killing of citizens in the Donbass. Russia is just there for the Donbass and due to NATO expansion. It has no desire to take Ukraine.
Russian Ally forces are taking more of the Donbass in Bakhmut area. Ukrainian troops and western mercenaries have taken heavy losses and their progression halted. The current bombing are not just due to the bridge in Crimea, but the constant shelling of citizens in the Donbass, the assassination of journalists and bombing Russian territory.
Love Russia
