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.

Probably zelesnky is just using his police force wait until zelesnky becomes serious lol. 31k vs 500k. It means 1 million ukrainian elite force is equivalent to more than 10 milopn million soldiers zelesnky could take the active forces lf iran, russia and china at the same time.

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?

The Russians learn their lessons from the first invasion. A city like Kharkov requires at least 150, 000 troops to conquer including paramilitaries to police this is huge city of 3 millions.

😂😂"we are not planning to attack Harvov "😁😁😁I dont believe this Putin's statement😂😂😂as arrogant nato missiles attack across border attack inside Russia get intensified Russia is obliged to open Harkov and Sumi fronts to hasten advance to east side of denper river to create wider buffer zone to deter further across border attack. Russian forces will bypass Harkov by pincer attack and advance forward to west to control all regions east of denpr river regions
Utube trolls: "Russia winning" 2 tears later..😢 Putin "military excercises were not going to invade ukraine" three months later😂😂 " kyiv in three days" putin says. 😂😂😂 Putin " kgarkiv we are not taking" as he retreats to vovchansk😂😂😂😂....
out of reality, poor lady
What would a nation with thousands of nuclear weapons need a buffer zone anywhere?
Don’t worry. Corporate interests say Ukraine will win!
That .
Prisoners recruited? Thats kinda hypocrite
So, for the war, Ukraine had a larger military.
And, “maybe Ukraine will win the war”! 🤯 maybe superman, green lantern and Wonder Woman, wait maybe the justice league and Super MayB will fight for Ukraine to win this war😅🤣😂

I hope Ukraine can turn things around.
Vilnius is a city from Latvia. Less than 2 million people live in Latvia, it is a very poor country, with a low level of infrastructure and services, with a low level of freedom of speech, and at the same time extremely Russophobic. Everything you need to know about the expert.
looks like now citizens will be fighting not solders when you u train someone and send to frontline is wearing military cloths mean you are a solder
How Many NAMES has This WAR been given ?? ...

Why are you not calling Russia 🇷🇺 side so we can hear stories of both sides no one invited them on your show
I guess this guest never heard about something called "secret agreement", "confidentiality agreement", or "non-disclosure agreement".. she just looked at the public agreements signed between Russia and China and said: naah, nothing strategic there 😆

NATO and the Five-Eyes countries are the "international community" according to the western media According to Josep Borrell, the EU is a "garden" ... and everyone else lives in a "jungle" country. It's comforting to know that the UK, EU and France24 still promote and support neocolonialism ... how American of them!
What the International community revognizes nowdays some of the western countries ignores like US which ignored that Jerusalem is not the capital of Jews so International community is not like a rocket you can ignore it like US ignores it.

Citizen of a country deserves what they elect. So, be happy with your Comedian President now, why complaining?
Little napoleon is right! It’s time to send the troops now! What a tragedy for Ukraine and the clowns around them?
A lot of effort to distinguish prisoner soldiers in Ukraine Vs Russia. I think a prisoner who is guaranteed freedom after a certain period has more morale to fight and survive than one whose freedom is only guaranteed by death. Why would I briefly come out of prison, fight, then go back to prison? I'm I crazy?
Full scale
Donbass is Russian-speaking region who will choose going back to Russia any time. Shelling to Russian border regions come from Kharkiv so a buffer zone is reasonable.
Blame NATO ? naa. its russia's offensive.
Ukrainians people need to say know to Zelensky. Tell him to also go and fight too
Paying price of life for NATO, keeping finding excuses or lying to people. This lady should be sent to the frontline as Ukrainian army needs immediately, rather than spreading lies here
Look at the disposition of forces. Russia has not deployed anywhere near enough to be capable of breaking through at this time. This TV analyst is not in line with ISW and others.
This analyst a bit naïve. she is focusing on the official statements that were issued by Russia and China. Does she think China is going to come out openly and mention the military assistance they might be giving Russia. The only way Russia has been able to withstand the unprecedent sanctions has been through significant help it gets from Russia.
F24 is a joke.what school of journalism did you guys go to.
Dont forget the war is about Ukraine joining NATO. If Ukraine sign that its not Join NATO the whole fighting will be over as simple as that.

The cowardness of the West to support Ukraine makes me sick.
Putin isn't interested in media stunts. That's Zelensky's position, this lady is a propagandist and it's a pity.
Ukraine's fault for shelling Russian territory.
Ukraine needs to talk to Israel about how to level area's without killing civilians, they do it so well.
” russia has already lost” - Joe Biden 2023
Ukraine needs your money to start the reconstruction while the destruction is ongoing. The leaders needs your money to buy houses abroad.
Zelensky is now threatening to take his cizitens driving licences if they don't fight. Wow! That's a big incentive.
😂😂😂😂😂 you guys are a joke
'Buffer zone' is the excuse Russia always uses when annexing neighboring territory. Obviously, there is no need for a buffer zone at all. As Ukraine never had any intention of invading Russia.

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.
putyn Ready for "Talks" , or , Surrender defines it !!!
rusky was just "Training" 2022 ALSO ....
Aww is Russia too strong 😭🤣🤣
Then the remaining territory of ukraine can join nato, leading to a conflict between russia and nato
Ukraine can still win if USA,UK, Germany and France gives at least 5 trillion dollars and 10 million people/soldiers. Because then Ukraine will resources advantage which Russia have at the moment
👏👏👏🇷🇺
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,,,
Of course Russia doesn't wanna ocpy Kyiev,,, 2022 russian soldiers were in Kiev,, If the wonted the should remain
No to "buffer zone"

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?
