Putin ‘running out of equipment’ could be forced to ‘wind down’ invasion | Prof. Jamie Shea

“Putin, who has, of course, suffered big losses in terms of men and equipment, as I mentioned, would need to rebuild his army.”

Putin could be forced to “wind down” his offensive as equipment losses have ‘limited’ his objectives, Prof. Jamie Shea former Nato Spokesperson tells Frontline on #timesradio

  1. You vastly overestimate Donald Trump. From his lips his promise to bring 'peace" is a direct threat against Ukraine because he wants vengeance on Zelenskyy for refusing to submit to his 2020 extortion attempt. In Donald Trump's brain he would be president right now but for Zelenskyy's interference, and he wants to destroy Ukraine to deter anyone from ever interfering with his dictatorial ambitions again.

  2. Putin should acknowledge, his error, apologize, shake hands and thereafter go home.

    Then to patch up hard feelings, he should send an" I am sorry note"
    with a bottle of descent wine and a quality fruit basket.

    End of story.

  3. There's also the question of if Ukraine has a hidden strategic reserve. We keep seeing all these armoured vehicles arriving and the announcements of more and more F16's arriving, but they haven't been used. Around 250 modern main battle tanks were delivered over a year ago.
    Where is all this equipment as any losses have been replaced or repaired.

  5. It is the agenda of the West to use the Ukraine War to whittle Russia's military power down as much as possible. Cynical and total hypocritical.
    And it is never mentioned Russian GDP is not much larger than Italy's.

  15. How about we stop funding a war, and instead broker peace deals between Russia, and the eu.

    Remember at the start when Ukrainians, and the entire western media said "Ukraine will win" 3 years later and it doesn't seem like Ukraine is winning. Considering most of Ukraine is destroyed, land has been taken, and many young men have died or left to nato countries.

  19. The gentlemen brought a very important point. Once you are are part of nato you achieve deterrence under nuclear umbrella. This applies to the russians and belarussians as well. Sweden and finland in effect lost the ability to have proxy war with russia. This protects russia from being attacked by nato.

  21. You (UK) did not pull your own weight until Trump said he would pull out of Nato, now that Russians are at your doors, you are talking how Ukraine will suffer because you will arm yourselves instead of Ukraine. Where was your arming initiative 4 years ago before Ukraine invasion? Oh yeah, USA was pulling all the weight. Don't use Ukrainian tragedy to justify your own complacency! There is no excuse today for you to be inadequately armed to face Russians and defend your country!

  24. Desperate & deluded Putler stupidity believed Russia is still a superpower in the 21st century and chickens have come home to roost! 🤡

  26. Do you people not understand who Trump really is? Just look at who and the position of the vice president position. Then tell me that Trump actually intends to do anything for Ukraine that's actually good. His idea has nothing to do with creating peace. Has everything to do with his vindictiveness and his attempt to destroy a country that he honestly feels has slighted him. There's no chance that Trump will ever help Ukraine, the only peace treaty he's willing to give Ukraine is the one that Putin and Russia wants. Total subjugation

  28. Ukraine was a significant supplier of weapon systems to the old USSR. I'm sure they are reverse engineering the systems they are given. For example, they supplied jet engines for some Russian helicopters. Of course the Russians are short of these engines now.

  29. Russian, it does not have no more money. It's gonna cost them four billions of dollars to replace all their military vehicles that have been destroyed, and all their military soldiers are not well-trained to fight any war. It takes russia to fight a war up to 4 to 5 years. United states can win a war up 1 year only. Russia has lost so many men in a war unreal.

  30. I don’t want Ukraine to fight this war to the last man. Our House of Congress waffled for so long they put the war on a much longer track. Hopefully with the November election we can get both Houses of Congress and keep things moving. Ukraine is doing their best, we here in the US should be too.😊

  31. The west now know exactly what putins gane is, and clearly know he us unhinged snd cannot be trusted etc. so the west know exactly what they must do for the next 20 years. We all know putin will not stop at ukraine. We also know that Xi in china is another putin who also wants to grab extra land.

  33. Putin's Military needs to withdraw from Ukraine asap before it is too late for them to go back home. This is Putin's War of choice and no one else wants this war

  34. Liss Truss's budget cost the uk £100 billion. 44 days self inflicted chaos. So the usa spending 100 bn dollars on their own defence industry is not as bad.
