@@Ridethebomb777: You are factually wrong. Hodges is a senior director of a charity that donates significant amounts of cash to Ukraine’s cause. He knows Zelensky personally. He maintains friendships and regular contact with insiders in NATO and the UN, as well as America’s armed forces. And he remains at the highest levels of clearance for intelligence communications. Given that no one sees Hodges as anything other than an informed campaigner, supporting Ukraine and raising international awareness, your comments are ignorant in the extreme. But that’s what we’ve come to expect from the Vatniki. So don’t feel bad about your abject failure. They didn’t give you much to work with. Feel bad about the destiny of your soul instead. That’s far more imperilled than Ukraine’s future.

It is always a privilege to be able to hear Ret. Gen. Ben Hodges speak. He brings a sense of calm, understanding, and determination to every show that has the wherewithal of having him on.

Incorrect. France and Britain agreed to supply only the 'unitary' standard model. The elderly missiles are co-manufactured from parts bins comprising components from both countries in both countries. The British just chose a pretentious name. As Kiev has misused the missiles and broken the agreed restrictions stated by both donors the question of sending any more is moot. French stocks were low from the start and only one 'tranche' was set aside. Ben Wallace failed to consult with the British Chiefs of Staff and probably sent too many. As they can only be carried by Ukraine's S-24s and few of these planes remain it is not likely that more will be sent. Announcements that adaptations to Su-27 planes allowed carriage of the missile were misleading as welded racks failed in all tests. Had they succeeded there would have been a need for heavy fighter cover because of performance loss in all respects. In 2019 Ukraine had 30 Su-27s and by December 2022 had only 12 in working order. As a British tax payer, I could wish that they had never been sent and would definitely oppose sending any more weapons to such a corrupt and misguided regime which has no regard for the lives of Ukraine's people.

This guy is a clown. Ukraine taking Crimea is a pipe dream at best. He knows that but instead of being honest he continues to lie to the public. The 4 regions that Russia annexed are gone. They arent going back to Ukraine. What Ukraine needs to do is to try to hold on to Odessa and not become a landlocked country. At this point I doubt they could even hold on to Kharkov. A peace deal would include Ukraine keeping both Kharkov and Odessa and surrendering the 4 annexed territories to Russia. It's easy for Zelensky to continue to send young men and women to die in futile attempts to attack a superior Army and take the territories back. This guy has been telling fairy tales since February 2022 , and the sad thing is that some people actually believe him. I remember 18 months ago he said on national TV that Russia had completely ran out of ammo 😂😂😂. The "Reddit Bro's" actually believed him and were telling everyone to " watch Ukraine steamroll the Russians ". Well....it looks like the other way around. Ukraine is getting literally steamrolled in Adiivka, which is the most powerful fortess that they have. The best brigades were stationed there. But now they are being decimated in large numbers and retreating. These are FACTS. The Ukrainian soliders on the ground are sending videos to their superiors and publicly refusing to follow orders to go on suicide missions. It's sad. This war is basically over. It's just a matter of how far Russia continues to push.

They are only part of Russia in their minds. The vast majority of the rest of the world does not see it that way. That includes China and India.

Ukraine needs Crimea back to safeguard adequate access to shipping and the resources in and around Crimea. Ukraine should think in terms of shortening its border with Russia by ceding areas of Luhansk and Donetsk that achieve that. This would be part of a long-term strategy to create a border with Russia that can be better defended and that decouples the rail and road systems that would facilitate a future Russian invasion. The border needs to be minefields, anti-tank ditches and obstacles, concertina wire, electronic surveillance systems, and farm fields. No rail links. No paved highway links.

I think that Donestsk and Luhansk has all the mines and the old factories

The best channel on The Times, thank you Kate!

Excellent interviewer, and an interesting and illuminating interviewee.

That’s exactly what I was thinking all along.

Does the Dnipro freeze over hard in winter? If so then that will remove the logistical problem the Ukrainians have in crossing the river. If not ( and it has to freeze hard without large gaps) the Ukrainians can supply their troops much more easily. Hard to see heavy armor going across the river ice but perhaps tanks are no longer that useful on a drone filled battlefield.

Apparently only further east where the crossing is much narrower. There may be some freezing over, but it supposedly isn't reliable enough for heavy vehicles to cross.

The war is lost. Zelebsky should have mercy on those poor soldiers who go on fighting an already lost war.

Please have Ben on more often... 👍

Thank for explaining in clear details the situation around the Ukraine war

The situation is nothing at all like Hodges depicts it. The reality is that Ukraine has lost the war. Those poor soldiers are dying for nothing: they keep at it just because the US orders them to go on. Hodges is simply depicting what he'd like to see happen, not what is actually happening.
