  1. Off topic but... Ukrainian government: you should give operator starsky recognition for being such an excellent communicator for Ukraine. He is one of your best.

  2. The Roman empire hired mercenaries, and it was the beginning of the end for them

  3. Very interesting interview. Makes a lot of sense.

  4. The Lincoln brigade of the 21st century.

  5. Take back Mariupol. You need to maintain interest from the West. Concern for Mariupol is very high and if you succeed in taking it back you will get more support. It might even convince everyone that Ukraine has the power to push Putin's army back to pre-war boundaries and stop assuming it can't be done.

  6. Ukrainian government: I suggest you include the concept of "armed neutrality" in negotiations. It will convey the concept that you do not want war but you wish to be prepared for it if it is brought upon you. The West will understand this as necessary for Ukraine and support this as fundamental to your existence as a sovereign country.

  7. Take back the coastal region and destroy the Russian naval presence, Donbas can wait. You need to be able to import/export products and military equipment.
    23
  8. Its amazing what Ukraine has done with only 3% of the US military budget and tiny fractions of EU military budgets.
    22
  9. Ukraine must develop its weapons industry. And not just to fight Putin, but to build the economy. When the war is over, they can export battlefield tested weapons.

  10. You can push Putin's army back Ukraine! The whole world is amazed you have been able to stand your ground. Slava Ukraini!

  11. Wonder how it got named New York

  12. Good news!

  13. I really hope Ukraine makes the coastal region in the south the a priority. Donbas can wait. Without ports the economy will not recover and it's becoming clear this war is all about weapons and the funds to buy or produce them in Ukraine. Ukraine need a narrative that resonates with the free world and as much as I hope all of the territory is recovered priorities need to be established. Armed neutrality is the likely solution.

  14. Putin isn't just fighting an army, he is fighting and entire population determined to resist. Meanwhile the Russian population doesn't care about it, even the Russian soldiers don't want to be there. I'm starting to believe Ukraine can win if we just go e them the weapons they need. Slava Ukraini!

  15. The priority should be taking back Mariupol and evacuation of the civilians. The whole world wanted this and this war is a contest between the free world and tyranny.

  16. Why would South Africa be sympathetic to Russia?
    7
  17. You need to release them and have them talk to the press. The west really doesn't like this sort of thing. Hopefully someone in the government is paying attention.

  18. It's time to go after the launch sites. Even if it's in Russia.

  19. You can do this Ukraine! More trained troops and more weapons coming. You are smarter and more effective than Putin's army. I have confidence in you. Slava Ukraini!

  20. I've been following operator starsky since the beginning. But I still don't know what the "operator" prefix means. Lost in translation?

  21. Exactly. I hope Ukrainians will some day acknowledge Bandera was not a good guy
    6
  22. Pure terrorism 😡
    6
  23.  Firstname Lastname  just need have enough control to evacuate civilians. It would be a huge win. I really hope they just try

  24. Reducing Russia's ability to wage war is a publicly declared objective of the US.
    5
  25. Push out Putin's army now!
    5
  26. The model works if it includes Ukraine producing its own weapons like Israel does.
    5
  27. Rebuilding infrastructure is part of this war. Putin destroys, Ukrainians rebuild. Gotta admire the endless energy of the Ukrainians. Slava Ukraini!
    5
  28. I understand these staff changes are normal, but the optics are problematic. It actually does matter how the changes are perceived.
    5
  29. I agree. They should look at Israel as an example of how a small country survives surrounded by hostile forces. Including developing a weapons industry. In the long run they have to be able to stand against Putin on their own.
    5
  30. Powerful speech. I hope more people hear this and understand what is happening in Ukraine. Hitler, Stalin, and now Putin define the idea of evil. Slava Ukraini!

  31. Getting rid of Putin won't change the tyranny in Russia because he will be replaced by someone just like him. BUT, it will make it possible for Russia to leave Ukraine by blaming the failure to take Ukraine all on Putin without admitting they lost.

  32. Excellent presentation 👏

  33. I have a bad feeling Russia has "relocated" a lot of Ukrainians to remote places in Russia. They have a history of doing this kind of thing.
    4
  34. To the Ukrainian government: you need a big victory somewhere to show you still have power to resist. Liberating a captured city would work. It's really depressing watching you fall back in city after city.

  35. Right now is the only time countries that have lost territory to Russia have to fight back. I suggest the Ukrainian government reach out to those countries and show them how they can defeat Russia.

  36.  @billglobalrc5384  had no idea. Gotta start paying closer attention.

  37. So bizarre, looting and pillaging was something medieval armies did. Putin and his army are literally barbarians. I don't know of any war in my lifetime where this sort of thing was happening.

  38. Amnesty international has been losing credibility for several years now. They became political and their leadership is too biased to provide balanced assessments.
    3
  39. It seems to be a feature of tyranny that human life is expendable. Putin wouldn't care if a million Russians die in this war. The free world needs to step up and put an end to this. If Ukraine pushes his army out of Ukraine, Putin will lose power and, with any luck, will suffer a slow painful death.

  40. Belarus is de facto, a province of Russia. They are just as guilty as Russia.

  41. I think the Ukrainian government doesn't understand how offensive this is. They need to have some western consultants help them out. All of them need some media training or they are going to lose a lot of goodwill and alienate a lot of their supporters.

  42. This is the key to stopping Putin. Ukraine can do it!
    3
  43. If Putin can attack anywhere in Ukraine, block the Black Sea, and threaten targets outside the conflict zone then Ukraine has every right to strike at supply lines in Russia and ships in the Black Sea and the bridge to Crimea.

  44. Some day Ukraine will have to admit Bandera was not such a good guy. Americans are dealing with the shame of historic slavery, Ukrainians will have to deal with the brutality and treachery of Bandera.
    3
  45. Once Ukraine starts producing its own weapons, they will be able to defeat Putin without completely depending on the West. This is huge important news. Slava Ukraini!

  46.  @VajrahahaShunyata  I didn't know that. From what I've seen the Ukrainians will find a solution. Ukrainian ingenuity is remarkable 👏
    3
  47. I saw a video recently suggesting that Ukraine could keep fighting even without the US. All they have to do is hold out until Russia runs out of money to pay mercenaries and collapses under economic strain.
    3
  48. Its a tragic situation but the silver lining is that Putin has to divert military resources to Syria
    3
  49. So much theft going on. Stealing cars, ships, grain. Taking stuff from houses. We have every right to take frozen Russian assets and turn it over to Ukraine.
    3
  50. Ukraine army: you need to after the airfields and launch pads in Russia where the cowards are destroying Ukraine from a safe distance. They are legitimate targets and you need to stop them now. Slava Ukraini!
