  1. Glad to see this’s happening. A free church for Ukraine. i’m not religious, but still glad to see this’s happening.

  2. In just five years they want to be able to remove half of this. I wish them the best of luck. Don’t need to do some major expansion work though. Keep us up-to-date on all your happenings.

  3. Well done Georgia. Bravooo. From Britain, even though I’m glad we’re no longer in the EU, I do believe that being in the EU is the best thing for Georgia and the best of luck in getting in.

  4. I am soooo glad he has actually said this. Takes a lot of guts to take this step. 👍🏼 The UK needs to be ready to do the same, and should’ve been from the beginning of this. We’ve AAALL got a lot of work to do.
    28
  5. Really glad Cameron has said and is sticking by this now.👏🏻
    25
  6. With respect, probably not. But hopefully they will still be alive.
    23
  7. We desperately need to be like this in the UK. Even ‘half as good as this’ would still be a vast improvement.
    19
  8. Exactly. Japan is doing this once again in the wrong direction.
    16
  9.  @war_Shorts71  Zelensky he’s a hero not a problem. He is showing what aaaall European leaders should be doing right now. But yes, it is NATO‘s fault for not having the guts to do what is right in the first place.
    15
  10. Really is such absolutely great news. Apparently the Leopard 2 tanks now, as of writing this message, have arrived from two countries with the rest soon to follow. They are coming in thick and fast now, showing that Ukraine’s allies are committing to their promise. Challenger 2 tanks have now also started to arrive yesterday in Ukraine now that the first round of cruise have finished training in the UK and Germany. These are definitely going to make a difference.
    13
  11. This sounds to me like a great day from Mexico. Congratulations everyone. Love and support from your friends here in Great Britain.👏🏻
    13
  12. The country has not been destroyed, and it is still a beautiful one. It is being horrifically damaged but it will continue to fight and will definitely win and rise from the ashes to be better than it was before.
    12
  13. Exactly. They were awarded a year ago that this was going to happen and they knew Ukraine wasn’t going to allow the gas to keep flowing through and allow more money to line Russia’s pockets. If they didn’t plan for this, then it is their own fault sadly.
    10
  14. This is absolutely brilliant news. Finally, Venice can actually have a chance to recover after the wonderful glimpse at a brighter future during lockdown. All we need to do now is make sure the rest of the cruise ships are eventually banned as well. AND SOONER RATHER THAN LATTER. If the people want to be able to come in en masse, they will have to walk it.
    9
  15. This needs to be done NOW.
    9
  16. Here here. This’s not Ukraine’s fault here.
    8
  17. Here here. Proper education, balanced fair politics and universal healthcare coming your way.👏🏻
    8
  18.  @Mosern1977  That is assuming of course that they actually managed to get everyone off before that even happened. And I veeeery much doubt they got anyone off before the missiles even hit. Some sailing orcs definitely died in this.
    8
  19. It seems they weren’t able to get back to the steelworks where the rest of the forces were holding on. Some force is still holding on there and I just hope they can make it out of there alive.
    7
  20. Be safe chaps. Both civilians and fighters. We in Britain are not looking away and we are paying attention every day. We truly hope that all of our military aid, if not the tanks, will make it to Bakhmut as soon as possible to help with the spring offensive when and where it happens to help push the Russians back from the city area.
    7
  21. They definitely all need to be on their gard as best they possible can for whatever might happen before or on the 9th of May. These lads are all doing an incredible job and we need to get everything they can possible used to the front lines ASAP. We need to speed this up now from the inside while we still can.
    7
  22. Absolutely. The ship is probably illegal after all.
    6
  23.  @tomhenry897  oh definitely. I mean, we don’t want them to reduce shell manufacturing quality down to that of what the Russians did, but the way they do it at this French facility, and possibly close to how we do it in the UK as well, is way too perfectionist to match the rate needed in a realistic nation on nation war. We need to go back to more simple techniques in some areas to speed it up for the time being.
    6
  24. This is very good reporting here. These people are really doing the best they can to get the grain to where it is needed, in spite of slow bureaucracy. This clearly shows it needs to be sped up and I hope this will act as a bit of a wake-up call for some but they are still not doing enough on their end to make it so. Love the chap at the end. “Say hi to Macron to us from us, tell him to send tanks.” Here here. Slava Ukraine

  25. Considering 25 is still much higher than past military drafts in bygone days during national defence in many countries, including here in the UK and over in the US in WW2, this doesn’t seem like much of a big deal really. 25 feels like an entirely reasonable age to impose conscription. Or even 22 really.
    5
  26.  @blockx8607  Yeah that seems very likely, as from what I saw of this, all of these people seem to be very much of the very old generation and not too many of them. Makes sense that a lot of the young people and those who actually see cents have already long since evacuated.
    5
  27. Here here 👏🏻

  28. I really hope we get updates in the coming hours. Mariupol’ so defenders are on their last legs so I think the whole country and the rest of the world needs this news. Stay strong chaps and NEVER GIVE UP.🇬🇧❤️🇺🇦💪🏼

  29.  @maigepresents5840  bloooody hell.😓. Get Looost.

  30. Okay, from what I’ve seen of the manufacturing process in the UK, and then the larger scale over in the US, am I the only one who thinks that the French technique for manufacturing the 155 mm shells is a little bit TOO perfectionist? It feels very, FRENCH, in the way they are doing it. A little bit too over the top. No wonder they only produce 600 in a week. They definitely need to be ramping up production multiple times over. Probably are going to need at least two additional factories. Still though, at least they are committed to their work and trying their best. Now it’s just up to the government and the construction workers, let alone the head manufacturers to massively expand and speed up.
    4
  31. This is all Putin‘s fault, but also in many ways our own fault outside of Ukraine for a lack of true commitment to giving Ukraine the weapons they need. True proper offensive weapons, not just anti-tank missiles. Let alone actually doing what is right and sending in troops. The risks are worth it at this point and were so from week one.
    4
  32. It’s so sad that this is how many polish people feel, considering how much Ukrainian people have actually given to the polish economy and need help right now. How on earth can their sympathy stretch so shortly?!
    3
  33.  @ryanwalters6184 What nonsense. He’s the lead engineer and thinker for SpaceX as well as Tesla. You clearly sadly haven’t done your research.
    3
  34. I am, but for different reasons. Mainly there lack of investment in the own armed forces.
    3
  35. I know right, I couldn’t agree more. I really think Poland isn’t aware in the majority of how good they actually have it right now with this.
    3
  36. We definitely need to be a part of this here in Britain. Boycott American physical goods. Thankfully, we aren’t short of options there.
    3
  37. No, he is turning into a hell hole.
    3
  38. Here here. William Britain is continuing to view it very closely and wish to help in however we can if I governments refused to act in any meaningful way.
    3
  39. You are absolutely right. It’s not nice, but this is war. In times like these, you have to be prepared to make sacrifices you wouldn’t do in peacetime. If a citizen isn’t willing to do this or do anything else to help, then they shouldn’t even be their country they claim to love in the first place.
    3
  40. I can definitely imagine that will be their next threat they will try follow through with. This is why we in Europe need to come up with our own alternative and get it up there STAT. I know we are working on one here in Britain, but there’s been very little news as to its current development and execution since last year’s latest news.
    3
  41. We will
    3
  42. That’s kinda sad to hear.

  43. Honestly it’s a pretty good idea. Only problem is that there’s no way they’ll be able to get that many nets made that were big enough or simply have enough people to stitch them together and put them between all the most likely targets in time. by the time that kind of set up was completed, the drones most likely wouldn’t be a problem anymore to begin with. It is a good shout out though, as using nets to catch these drones is actually a proven technique. Not least because using a big white net is actually used during the development and training phase of these particular drones as that’s how they collect them when they go in for their kamikaze attacks. They have to make sure they can get them back intact, so they use a big wide net and crash the drones into them, so they can get them back unharmed. Honestly, considering they aren’t very fast despite their range, actually ‘dropping a net on top of them’ could be a good solution instead. perhaps done by another drone!
    3
  44. What on earth are we waiting for now. It seriously feels like our politicians wouldn’t even reactive their own mother was being raped by Putin to help these people. We are far too preoccupied on the idea of him nuking us when that would do nothing for Putin whatsoever and would only further damage him in the long run in one way or another. These people are desperate for help and rightly feel that they have been abandoned by the West and there own forces. Many soldiers are grateful for the supplies they’ve gotten, but with Mariupol surround like this and no one willing to take the risk to go in and save them when this would’ve been easily done by any forces in WWII when they knew what was important, this is rightly viewed as a betrayal of Ukraine and the Azov battalion who have done nothing but commit themselves to defending their land with every fibre of their bodies.

  45. Stay strong Ukraine. We believe in you.🇬🇧❤️🇺🇦

  46. Wish him and every single one of his compatriots from Ukraine and abroad the very best of luck and all of our wishes for success.

  47. It is absolutely awesome. It is VERY WELL DONE. It seems like this video is getting a lot of attention already, and it's only been out for a day. I very good sign indeed, about the very baaaad things that re happening to the planet we live on and are doing hardly anything about it.
    2
  48. It’s certainly a very perfectionist job. Unfortunately, when there is very slow demand, it’s easy to be stuck into a routine of doing things a certain way. They need to be able to eventually switch over, despite how hard it will be, to more of a manufacturing production line like that of bullets (or WW2 way for shells) in order to actually make the amounts needed. Right now we do need quality, but more so quantity, and that just isn’t what they seem to be able to provide at this French manufacturer. The US one is better, but they still too need to massively expand by at least three times in order to keep up anywhere near demand.
    2
  49. It’s good to hear at least as well that Ukrainian force to being able to regain some territory around the town of New York. It was very sad to hear that one was to fall as well. What on earth though are Romania and Latvia going to do about Russia breaching their airspace. Nothing that’s what. 😔
    2
  50. Well THAT’S a weird comparison.
    2
  51. Haaaardly. Lol
    2
  52.  @jyrrin  I really do hope so. It is such a wonderful idea that can actually work.
    2
  53. Here here. Elon with SpaceX and Tesla and all his other companies our leading the way and helping to truly push these sectors forward.

  54. I have been wondering the same thing. With all the custom-made drones Ukraine has been using so far I would’ve thought they could use them to drop off some supplies. My only guess is that the majority of them are only able to be used right now for recon or possibly to be crashed directly into the enemy or drop down single explosive shots on top of the enemy. Of course they can’t exactly spare them right now to be smashed into tanks and soldiers so I’d imagine they are only able to use them for recon right now. Biggest guess is that deliveries into the city of ammo and other equipment via drones is hampered by the range limitations of any custom-made drones at a safe area to do so, rather than specifically designed military drones. Of course the BT2 has been used so far but I think it’s currently been preoccupied in the rest of the country.
    2
  55. The grain though isn’t going to Poland.😓
    2
  56. Clearly a Russian flag on at least one of those ships there in the clip.
    2
  57. We need to be stepping up now more than we have for decades.
    2
  58. Here here
    2
  59. Absolutely on point.
    2
  60. They definitely should at this point. Especially as our countries governments in NATO are STILL, AFTER AAAAALL OF THIS, too cowardly to send our own militaries in this help. At this point, what the help will it take. I feel soo ashamed.
    2
  61. I will clap for the fighting ethnic groups as well.👍🏼👏🏼 These people are sure to win eventually, but we neeeed to help them damn it. We can’t afford for are morality to stay on the sidelines like this.
    2
  62. We sadly may well have to consider American an enemy of the free world soon enough too along its the rest in its own right if this goes much further.
    2
  63. That’s because America always seems to use it in the wrong way.
    2
  64.  @DRSHANKER  This’s just the beginning. They’re using everything to the best of their abilities and showing us all up because of it. If we can actually put the major modern hardware behind all of this as well, they can certainly achieve victory. They are showing what real smart fighting is all about.
    2
  65.  @menrihei3515  Hope they’ll be alright after this is over.🤞🏼
    2
  66. Hehe 👌🏼
    2
  67. Don’t know where you got that information from. Any piece of military equipment right now is useful equipment.
    2
  68. In the end, this illegal government is sure to fail. Can it ever even really be called a Civil War when it is all the people against the military!? In the end, the remaining troops will have to bow down to the people they originally swore to protect, and they will have to answer for their cowardice and crimes.
    2
  69. Like number 100. Yaaay

  70. The German chancellor is an absolute embarrassment to all of Europe.
    1
  71. Really horrendous that the Spanish government when and did this. Have heard there are many parts of the Spanish system that are bad, but didn't think they would be willing to go this far and dump their own citizens like this. Solar is good for a country and the planet, but what Spain has done here has given it a bad name for their own country.
    1
  72.  @RyunosukeHachi  I doesn't mean they would've loved heat all the time though. Plenty of Dinos we believe also died on possible heat sources and lack of water in the hottest regions like animals and humans do today.
    1
  73. Uuuum, Taiwan. This’s having ramifications everywhere.
    1
  74. Exactly. It’s now their same approach to China. The US is suuuch a hypocrite.
    1
  75. Wow, this looks really great. Doesn’t seem like there’re any problems with using this method yet, and it seems like they really tried to see if there were any. I think I’d go for this if given the chance.
    1
  76. I seriously couldn’t agree more there. It would be good if we could also work with Australia and New Zealand on this as well. A CANZUK style approach would be best, as the framework has been talked about for several years now. Sad though we’d actually have to use it first against the US of all places.
    1
  77. Time for a revolt it seems. We back you, from Britain.
    1
  78. Here here. That’s what it should be called. Calling it just the ‘Ukraine war’ suggest that it’s a war that is merely only happening in Ukraine and doesn’t have anything to do with or impact the rest the world. Something which is completely untrue.
    1
  79. I definitely agree there. I’m living in the UK and don’t have a say in US politics but I still have an opinion, especially if it starts to happen here in the UK too. I have a mixed opinion about TS rights verses simply gay rights, but this one in California is clearly crossing the line, and is clearly more leaned towards getting the popular vote of the younger, less well informed people in some quarters versus the primary caregivers who actually are responsible for this kind of thing.
    1
  80.  @Cn147-gp5  But it would also usually mean a more advanced bigger one would rise from it.
    1
  81. I can only wonder how much information the Chinese people actually have on what’s really going on.😞
    1
  82.  Modiji myran  Yeah that really does speak volumes.
    1
  83.  @somkaranbhardwaj5484  Yeah this just goes to show even more what China is really like.
    1
  84. That’s because plenty of none Ukrainians are also are marching in protest as well, dur.
    1
  85. Yeah same here. I really did think that with the utilisation of 3D cutting technology they would be able to finish it by the expected date of 2026. Such a huge disappointment. They reeeeally must be low on money. I can only imagine how quickly they could’ve got it finished if it was on a UK or US budget.
    1
  86. A message from us in Britain, to all the people of California, I definitely advise you to seriously consider ‘taking this offer’. They will make California exponentially better than it could ever be under the US.
    1
  87. We in Britain and the rest of mainland Europe and all of our free world allies across the world must stay united now more than ever in support for Ukraine, and ‘increase it’ rather than just doing like for like reactions of what the Russians have been doing. The US truly cannot be relied on anymore.
    1
  88. Seriously though, the Turkish designers actually thought these were a good idea? They look like an absolute joke, in a house of mirrors.
    1
  89. This deal cannot got ahead, no matter what. It’ll be a complete disaster for the EU and probably even the planet.
    1
  90. Well, no guarantee of that latter part.
    1
  91. Actually, this was the plan from the very beginning. Make other trading block connections to compensate for being out of the EU and being able to do so once we were out.
    1
  92. Here here. They must work equally together now to fight the military to restore democracy and even better than before with equal representation.
    1
  93. @Richard Foran I think you mean ‘Nukes’ though!
    1
  94.  @kyisyn2271  Most definitely
    1
  95. With the type of people we can see in Myanmar, this most likely will not happen. Especially as they actually have a leader to restore to power. And this time, with the original military out of the picture, it can be better than it was before.
    1
  96. I only hope so. In many ways it’s better to make the enemy think that they are winning in order to lull them into a false sense of security, and then we can crush the Russians afterwards. But of course there is also the argument that you want them to think they are losing and be scared so they will retreat or surrender. Not quite sure which might be better here
    1
  97.  @4lugan Not unless Norway followed through with their bid to actually buy it. Now that would really be something. Haha
    1
  98. About time, but we mustn’t just do sanctions, we must take actual action. Both in the EU, UK and UN.
    1
  99. Well, I've got to give you that. I guess that's why so many people need zen spaces these days.
    1
  100. It’s just pathetic all round.
    1
  101. Absolutely. With that number, it should definitely be able to achieve the eventual goals. I don’t think this French manufacturer will be able to keep up with demand by any level, but if they can truly double their production level and combine it with other manufacturers and suppliers around the world, it should be possible.
    1
  102. Yeah, I do have to admit on a more technical note that the Texas grid is a very inefficient one.
    1
  103. Here here
    1
  104. They clearly need to speed up the rate of grain being able to ship down the rivers and get rid of more of the bureaucracy slowness. You would think after all these months it would’ve been sorted by now. Not sure whose fault it is on either end but most likely just international customs rules.
    1
  105. I am just begging and hoping every hour now that more Ukrainian and volunteer forces can get close to Mariupol to try and stop the Russian forces from taking out what’s left of the Ukrainian forces fighting inside the city. It’s good to know that part of the resupplies and troop deployments in the city did consist of helicopters helping before, as I had wondered about that. But makes sense as the advances increased that this would no longer be a viable option. The Azov Italian has been giving it their all and they have every right to feel betrayed by the lack of help they have so desperately needed to keep going. They are true heroes to the world. We need to get them more supplies or get them the hell out of there ASAP.
    1
  106. It’s music to my ears.
    1
  107. As usual, despite it seemingly falling on deaf ears, we need our governments to critically get the long-range equipment needed in the east to them ASAP. They need proper weapons NOW. More surface to surface missiles, drones and body armour for this particular fight in the region.
    1
  108. Lmao👌🏼
    1
  109. Absolutely

  110. Here here
    1
  111. We already fully understand that. We know it was caused by human mismanagement due to the damning process. We all understand that global warming is a major issue, but many others are simply caused by human made construction errors. And just like with global warming itself, many of these things can be fixed with a simple solution, it’s just that those in power are slow to ever do them.
    1
  112. Most likely
    1
  113.  @tjohanne  Yeah. I just hope much like other big construction projects that are financially backed by China, they don’t end up just cleaning the asset as their own.
    1
  114. Thought so. Cleaver they’re able to track down the source like this.
    1
  115. I can’t believe this has happened again in such an incredibly short space of time. The management of Venice is a joke. Let the young have a say. The elderly deserve no say or stake in our future.
    1
  116. Yep. And I’m both occasions, skimpy clothes are the height of the occasion.😌😁❤️👏🏻👏🏻

  117. Trump has brought great shame upon the alliance. We cannot trust him.
    1
  118. Soon rather than later please. The military junta deserve dead. Anything else is a slap on the wrist for these scum now.

  119. Screw you you monster. What the HELL is wrong with you.

  120. I reeeally hope Poland sends its tanks to Ukraine either way. Will send a muuuch needed message to Olaf Schulz. Thankfully though, I think Germany today is getting the picture.
    1
  121. This is an issue in the UK as well and it’s not the young people’s fault. It’s a massive issue for all us young people as a result of the old generation still hanging about meaning we aren’t able to afford new homes. Older people living for much longer now and as a result we can’t keep up with building new houses so the price is just escalate exponentially everywhere. And unlike some other countries, we don’t cave in to building shoddy small houses to meet demand so we just simply aren’t able to move out in many cases. Not unless you buy a really small apartment somewhere in the cities. I know it’s sad to say, but it would all just be so much more simple of everyone over the age of 70 just died. It’s sad, but it’s true. This is just simply a consequence of the 20th century now affecting the 21st, like everthing else I guess.

  123. Surprisingly honest? I’ve never noticed FRANCE24 to be dishonest.

  124. Absolutely agreed

  125. You do understand that the shrapnel still has to come down somewhere, right?

  126. Absolutely. The people are doing a smashing job it with so little resources. The UN really needs to hang it’s head in shame here.
