‘We are too easily spooked by Putin’s rhetoric’ – Tobias Ellwood | Ukraine war

Defence and security analyst Tobias Ellwood says the West should give Ukraine the military kit it needs “without caveats” so they can win their war with Russia.

Amid discussions on long-range missiles, he told Sky’s Kay Burley the West’s support for Ukraine has been characterised by “hesitance” and slow decision making that has resulted in “costly delays”.

The pair also discussed the apparent second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, which Mr Ellwood said raised “big questions” about the security of US politicians.

  1. Are these people still saying Ukriane can win 🤣. 2 years on , we had Nord stream blown up , Peace deal thrown out the window, Ukraine counter offensive fail and now Ukriane being chased out of Kursk whilst losing there biggest strong holds in the east .

  2. would be more exciting if this analyst is the front lines, talking tough in front of camera is peanuts, more sensible would be finding a way to push for Russia and Ukraine to stop this nonsense, not just to keep Ukraine on trickles of a life line while they keep getting hammered. Except UK and US are willing to supply enough long range missiles and the personnels to operate them, then they should quit the rambling.

  3. America has had the backstop to agreement on Ukraine from 2014 but if the Russians who may agree to their peace proposals similar to the Lavrov peace plan 2014 excluding Crimea , can the EU and GB agree to US trade agreements before the Americans can surrender control of Ukrainian borders , money , Laws and trade policy to EU EC and the Russians will demand similar trade guarantees from the Sovereign parliament and Government of Ukraine ,

  4. It would be a great mistake to ignoring Putin's nuclear threat and allow Ukraine to use of long range missile. Entire Europe will be at risk of nuclear war, and no one will be the winner.
    The best option is to negotiate peace with Russia.

  5. Delighted
    To hear someone advising to Disregard Mr.Putins Bravado as He says, suppose Tobias Ellwood will back that Up by heading to the FRONT.
    Why is it always Politicians who take NO PART in Conflicts that urge the Youth to do their FIGHTING.
    Should Tobias prove me Wrong & head to the Scrap, i wish HIM well.

  6. 2 candidates? Trump is being shot at. This guy wants nuclear war? He hid in his basement for two years? From a virus? Nuclear war will kill 6 billion people, and destroy the world.

  7. Another one saying the obvious truth
    Britain didn’t go nuclear after the Russian chemical attack in Britain
    And Russia didn’t go nuclear after a invasion of Russian territory with western tanks
    But OH NO if there are western missiles hits in Russia (except for the region next to Kharkiv where they already have) that it’s, end of the road
    Give me a break

  8. President Biden has made much of his support for UK people being able to vote to join part of the UK to another country, yet when Russian speaking Ukrainians overwhelmingly vote for East Ukraine to join Russia, this is somehow different and wrong.

  9. Highly likely, almost certainly Russian nuclear submarines are in the seas and oceans around Great Britain, ready to retaliate against the British establishments proxy war against Russia (via Russo – Ukraine War sponsorship) at any given moment.

  10. This nonsense doesn't stop. These politicians are bought to entertain rather than focus on policies that will benefit their voters and lift people out of poverty. What a shame

  11. Crazy talk. That's what we just heard there. Take risks? We've been doing that for 11 months and Ukraine hasn't moved the Russian army nowhere near what is necessary to get the Russians out of the Donbas. To resort to attacking a nuclear superpower like Russia with our weapons on their soil, is just a crazy act of desperation! Nuts! These people are off their rockers.

  12. Russia will do nothing, because Putin loves life, a man who has multiple body doubles has no intention to be vaporised !!

    Putin wants to live to spend all the money hes stolen from Russia, he will not start a world war.

  13. He didn't answer when she said "what if he (Putin) is serious " . Like all the rest of those western experts , trying not to be responsible.Never dare to put money where the mouth is

  14. They are not going to allow strikes, they are only looking for who will take the blame.
    NATO, as a strategic alliance, doesn't appear to have any stategic ideas. Perhaps it is running down now?

  15. Kier doesnt like the war stuff.
    at all. Thats okay.
    but u kno Labour voters they do tend to pretend we live in this happy world where nothings wrong
    and nobody suffers
    and that the things and opportunities we had when we grew up are still availble
    and possible to obtain.
    they are much simpler evening TV folk
    i gave up TV over a decade ago.
    gave up Smart Phone last year.
    It makes Kier uncomfortable
    but that is the frustrations we all have
    is the same in Ukraine Russia.
