Ukraine braces for heavy battles as Putin says Russia carving out 'buffer zone'' • FRANCE 24

Kyiv struggles to boost troop numbers after Russia launched a new offensive that some fear could close in on Ukraine’s second-largest city. Russian President said on Friday (May 19) that the Russian push aims to create “a buffer zone” rather than capturing Kharkiv for now. For more, FRANCE 24's William Hilderbrandt is joined by Alexandra Filippenko, a political analyst. "Ukraine needs the help of Western allies in order to stop Russian offensive", she said.

    Ukraine war reminds me of the Iraq invasion by US under false justification. At least Russia has a point in not allowing more NATO (US) bases on its borders. How could people ever thought that Russia would allow NATO (US) to keep building bases on its borders and do nothing?Or that Ukraine could win a war against Russia? Not even with NATO support. In a hypothetical situation, would US allow China or Russia to build bases on its borders? Remember Cuban missiles crisis?

    NATO's actual leader, the US, in terms of foreign policy, is to be regarded as an imperialist rogue state. The wars and coups the US has initiated or interfered in are countless and millions of civilians have been killed. In almost all cases, it has also involved countries far from American territory that themselves did not threaten the United States in any way. It has simply been about geopolitics and about maintaining US power and influence. France's presence and military operations in a number of African countries "to protect its interests" is another of many examples of how NATO is not only a defense alliance, but also an alliance consisting of imperialist actors.

    With this move, the Russians, when they moved towards Kharkiv Oblast, only widened the front even more, and forced the Ukrainians to bring their reserves there, and the Ukrainians are short of manpower,,, , and the front is 700 km long. ,,,The Russians are working slowly, to have as few victims as possible, but they are conquering,,,,,and of course they will continue to conquer,,,

    The west and the US have supported Ukraine. But the assistance is so little to push the Russian. Why can't they bring in heavy weapons and air defense + troops enough to pull out the Russian?
