Ukrainian opposition leader: Kursk incursion shows Putin is bluffing | Conflict Zone

As Ukraine prepares for another winter of war and power shortages and Russia continues to target energy infrastructure, top politicians in Kyiv say much will depend on the outcome of the US election. The leader of the opposition Voice Party, Kira Rudik, told DW’s Tim Sebastian that Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are using Western indecision over the Ukrainian use of long-range missiles to get ready for a bigger war. Rudik also said Kyiv has shown with the Kursk incursion that Russia is not invincible, and that Putin is bluffing.

  1. After reading the comments below you realize how ignorant they are. Oh, oh beware WW3 etc. Do some research, look up WW2's start, learn about Neville Chamberlain's Munich Compromise and the concept of Appeasement. What happens when you give in to a bully? These Ukrainians are a superb example of what we should all try to be. The price of true freedom is never cheap. These negative commentators need to grow up and gain a spine.

  2. Она не может представлять оппозицию. Зеленский запретил все оппозиционные партии.

  3. Instead of seeking help to negotiate or fix energy equipment before winter to save the rest of the country, she is asking for permission to use long-distance miles. It's insane.

  4. Russia🇷🇺 must respect soveregnity territorial integrity of Ukraine, Georgia, Japan. Israel🇮🇱 must respect soveregnity territorial integrity of Palestine & syria.

  5. She should learn about the Russian history and Ukraine actually being part of the Russian Empire going far back to Peter the Great in 1725. Ukraine is fighting a futile war.

  6. Когда развалился СССР, не без помощи США, американцы наводнили всю нашу страну с указаниями как нам жить. А идиоты в правительстве поддались на эти сказки. И ведь Украина видела, что было. Но не научилась на чужих ошибках. И легла под США за печенье. А США попользуется Украиной и бросит, как старую шлюху. И прибежит Украина снова к России, чтобы им бедненьким помогли. Не хотели жить дружно с Россией, ведь Россия была главнее, в Европу им захотелось, думали, что там они станут равноправными партнерами с другими странами. 😂 Ну, все свершилось, половина страны живет в Европе, желание исполнилось. Какие к России претензии теперь.

  7. To those who care about a true peace in Ukraine, those who honestly wish for a resolution to this war, I say this. Supporting Ukraine with the means to win this war militarily is how we ensure a true peace. Showing strength to Putins threats is how we ensure war like this can not happen again.

    If we concede to Putins threats, if we abandon Ukraine. He will simply come for more land, more of our rights, our freedoms, our future.

    To stand up to Putin and defend Ukraine will not increase or decrease the potential future use of nuclear bombs from Putin. He will always take more unless he is stopped, like a greedy toddler with too much power.

  8. The west are waiting to hear that 1000 Ukrainians have been killed before they will act… This is heartless… Russia is using all in it's disposal to fight Ukraine and the west is denying Ukraine that same opportunities… Do you want Ukraine to loose the war? This question goes to the Wests…
