1. "Do you go to the front lines and speak to the soldiers?" "No…." he says. "Now I am the commander in Chief" …. What? What happened to Zelenski?

2. Again a lot of blablabla and no real infos, a view on the map explains, the area gained is small and a push trough towards south-east lacks personal and waepons. Another point is, doo the people of UA really want to kick out Russians ? Sanctions against Putin seems to be in favor for the Putin. So he can sell his gas and oil to a new market.

3. The General looks tired. Hard working

4. His is very honest person and his know Ukrainian lose so many peoples but they fighting for surviving

5. Whag a crock. The ongoing change in describing the Ukraine invasion of Kurst is laughable, as is the excuse of ghe US 7 month wpns pckg delay. AYear ago Biden said Rusia lost the war. Again laugha le.

6. Takes the fight into Russia making Russians destroy their own country instead just hammering Ukraine.

7. It’s a special military operation not an invasion

8. I wish you asked him how his mother is doing living in Russia.

9. Just an ordinary man trying to safe his job.

10. Great to see the journalist pretending to be a General. Is she working for Putin?

11. It is great to finally look into the eyes of the finest military strategist and leader of his generation.

12. CNN? What shit they will deliver?

13. Lotta words to just say that nobody took your PR stunt bait except westerners.

14. The West will never admit they got it wrong in Ukraine. They'd rather have us all killed.

15. Seriously, CNN's narrator is reading the subtitles, not an actual translator…. pffft

16. Why he is so high ?? Dayyummm

17. Zalyygnii now sorskii ARE BRAVE CLEVER GENERALS UKRAINE THE BEST..they fights in CORRUPTION AND MAFIA MANAGEMENT IN UKRAINE. unbelievable unbelievable BRAVO

18. Ukraine is fighting for its country, its identity, its way of life, its safety and freedom. Russia is fighting for Putin's fears, lies and propaganda.

19. The analysts I've been watching have been saying this since the start of the Kursk invasion. Why does it take CNN weeks to clock onto this? Surely their reporters are better than arm chair war analysts on Youtube?

20. Bunch of BS. Russia is winning. The Rhetorics are laughable.
    NATO is done.

21. it is easy to conquer a farm village, and history repeats for third time on having a big defeat

22. Why are we assuming he's being candid? I'm a supporter of the general, absolutely, but he's not relating reality to you on matters of training. A month would be great if it happened, but even when it does, it's days on end of crab-ass with nothing to do. You've volunteers out there with weapons they've never fired. (I am not making that up.) Kursk also doesn't border Kharkiv oblast. Belgorad does. Now on this point it's the two journalist mucking this up. He was talking about a potential invasion of Sumy similar to what had been happening in Kharkiv. That makes sense, to a point. I think the differential that's important is do you want to be fighting the Russians in Russian villages or Ukrainian towns. That's the question a serious reporter would have asked. And stop throwing the word "strategic" around so carelessly. Bakhmut was "strategic", Adviivka was "strategic". Just very lightweight journalism from CNN on this. Just taking someone at their word doesn't make them candid. It's not his job to tell CNN the truth. His job is to win this war. It's CNN's job to inform us and I don't think people are any better informed after that softball interview.

23. Anyone here think you can train a civilian for 1 month and 2 weeks and make him a soldier ready to fight on the frontlines? 5:50 damn War is trully a meat grinder

24. He looks drugged up and not sleeping. The Russians are clearly putting the pipe in their bum and drilling it deeper.
