The Republicans in the house had an oppertunity to pass comprehensive border policy and aide packages and they refused to do it. They are not serious politicians. They dont want to govern. It is very frustrating.

An amazingly resilient people ❤❤❤

Listening from Otago New Zealand

When will the politicians wake up?

Great work Telegraph 🇬🇧 from oz🇦🇺

Support Ukraine! 🇺🇦

Great reporting, historic is the interview!

Ukraine 🇺🇦!

Regarding the situation in the U.S. Congress, I want to point out a significant and dangerous mistake on the part of many reporters and media personalities (especially those from outside the U.S.). It is absolutely a mistake to say that Republican opposition to aiding Ukraine has anything to do with the situation on the Southern border. While that is the excuse they have been giving, it is just a distraction. A border bill was negotiated by Senate Republicans that would have provided the most significant increase to border security since the '80's, security provisions they were unable to pass during Trump's term. Those provisions were bundled with aid to Ukraine and Israel. The Senate approved the bill, and it would most likely have passed in the house, except for a phone call from Donald Trump. The fact is that Trump and the MAGA wing absolutely own the modern Republican party, and they were able to squash that bill. This was for two reasons. Firstly, Trump doesn't want the border issue fixed because he intends to campaign on it. Secondly, Trump opposed aid to Ukraine. He, and his closest and loudest supporters, have been very clear about opposing any aid to Ukraine of any kind, military, financial, humanitarian, etc. Furthermore, they have shown significant favoritism towards Putin and his regime. Trump himself invited him to invade Europe not too long ago. Again, it is a dangerous fallacy to take the U.S. Republicans at their word on ANYTHING at this point. Reporters, if they intend to be seen as serious, should avoid falling for this.

Wow, that interview was so powerful. Also very painful to hear his pain and sadness about the wests lack of adequate support and our lack of understanding. I hope the stance of France will get things moving more quickly and according to What Ukraine NEEDS

France has been reborn !!! I remember back in 2003 the US Congress had to rename the French fries in the Congressional cafeteria "freedom fries" because Chirac opposed the Iraq war. Now France is putting the US Congress to shame !!!

Quote - Russia has seven A-50 AWACS remaining. How many of these are usable? How many viable crews do they have?

Must-listen article.🌿

Great interview. Slava Ukraini.

Great interview

It will be interesting to see if Donald Trump calls Putin to congratulate him

The interview was incredible.

Amen awesome interview ,slava Ukraine America listen to this get some balls we are the laughing stock of of the world

Excellent strong determined report Francis...what a relieve to hear a British journalist at last stepping up to the truth and reality of what Ukraine faces and has the guts to say so. I don't know what's happened to some of our press and broadcaster...to be fair,...well done THe Sun for its continuous reports, and BBC when they're in Ukraine.

'Vive Le Macron' the only Euro actor with loins girded !

Well done mr president of France i agree with your speech. Putin must get out of Ukraine.

Sunak is little better than Sholz. He refuses to increase defence spending at a time when he knows that Starmer is likely to win the next election. Commitment to 3% or more would force Starmer to keep it going as cutting spending now would look incredibly weak.

Slava ukraini

Thanks to everyone who support Ukraine! ✌️✊🇺🇦🕊️

Torygraph GCHQ Jackanory time again

Slava Ukraine, Viva La France!

Macron finally gets it and in this he is right.

It gets a bit tiresome with all this talk about the Presidential election in Russia, when we all know what outcome is going to be. Perhaps it would be more interesting if we took up a pool on what the percentage is going to be (my bets are on 94%) or perhaps what Putlers first action is going to be after his bragging speech (my bets are on mass mobilization somewhere between 800k to 1mil).

Macron is showing how to lead Well done indeed

Puck Footin

Ukraine with Europes help WILL PREVAIL🇺🇦🇸🇪👍

Go France, go! I love that things are moving without us in the US. Don't wait for us. Ty for the content!

All Macron has done is talk. Czech leader leads.

Trump(USA), Kim(NK), Xi(Chi), Erdogan(Turkey), Victor Orban (Hungry), Nicolas Maduro(Venezuelan), and Ayatollah Khamenei(Iran) just to name a few that'll all be stumbling over each other to be among the very first privileged few allowed to carefully choreograph their very own personalized ceremonious congratulations to Czar Putin on his magnanimous & historic victory at the polls!

How come the UK appears to have taken a political back seat - Cameron is hardly leading the charge. Ah, politics first, people second…

Such a solid man. He needs so few words ro speak TRUTH. What a man. Ukraine is so lucky to have him. So too is the world. Wake up western leaders. Canada here.

silly stunts ... desperation

Across the free world we’ve all been bamboozled into electing nobs who have one underlying policy… keep the wealthy wealthy and the powerful powerful. We need some proper serious people in government and instead we have arseholes.

I didn't realise Western Ukraine and NATO are doing so well 😊

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦👍 Victory is certain

If they have been short down then why claim huge damages

2 in one day. 👀

3:39 That would be a first.

What are all these Russian bots doing here? Go away.

Why does this podcast get only about 10,000 views within 24hrs?……. Whilst alexander mercouris gets 10x that figure with zero backing from a MSM outlet 😅

No more war but peace and love.❤

Has anyone forgotten the ubiquitous commentary of "Ukraine is winning" and "Russia is reduced to fighting with shovels" we were being doled out just a couple of months ago?

Despite having a more competent and powerful military than Germany, France has given Ukraine way less than them. So far it's just words from Macron.

This is NOT the beginning of WWIII. (I asked Grok on X) This is finishing WWII. (put on pause) "World War III is a hypothetical conflict that would involve many of the world's major military powers. It is often depicted as a global war with widespread destruction and loss of life. While it is difficult to predict the exact nature of such a conflict, it is likely that it would involve the use of advanced weaponry, including nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. In terms of the scale and scope of the conflict, it would likely involve multiple theaters of war, with fighting taking place on land, sea, and air. The use of cyber warfare and other forms of technology would also be a major component of the conflict."

The cross-border raids have no strategic effect on this war, I don’t believe. The strikes on oil refineries are huge, however. Russia can’t manufacture kit off they have no energy.

"I am president I DECIDE!" Thank goodness someone understands what leadership is!!!

❤

‘Europe’s credibility will be destroyed’ …….. I think that ship has sailed 😅

everyone should know trump is all talk. he will do what is best for the country. he wont just do a trump withdrawal. im sure they will figure it all out before any of us even know about it . Great Podcasts. listen. everyday !

🦷

interesting, thanks

Putin's election results are like 2020

All modern states have multiple ethnic groups. Having all single group countries is not workable. A balance between a strong state and respect for ethnic groups is complicated. Dictators will exploit differences.

🇺🇦🇺🇦🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘💪

why shortage??? WAXKZENZNKY SAID "ONLY 33K SOLDIERS DIED" ,.... silly no??

Synthesizing realities from plastic truths

This guy doesn't get it. In russia it only matters who counts the votes. Not the voter. It is not a democracy!!

I changed my mind, I don’t like Dom anymore. I like Francis!

Macron has grown some who would of thought ! Viva la France !

Lol

The "invasion" into Russia was decimated. What a waste of Bradley's and other armor and men. Wasteful and no help to front line, another PR attack. Who is okaying these attacks??

Slava Ukraine. Listening from Punjab. Warrior Sikhs with Ukraine ❤

Chilling ... a strong message for western leaders who are still sitting on their hands.

If America stops support for Ukraine, they will feel more ashamed and disrespected when Russia withdraws from Ukraine. And Europe showed their support and grew stronger militarily. Producing military equipment, planes, and weapons. SLAVA UKRAINI

France is a force for peace????😂😂😂 It's more like it's a farce for surrender!😂😂😂 13:37

How come at the end the translated soaring rhetoric was about twice as much as the Ukrainian official was actually saying??

It is amazing, a lot of discussions but, where are the jets,helicopters,long range missiles,more tanks,more and more ammunition?I am disgusted!

Viva la France. Europe needs a leader on the continent. Germany is still worried about offending the war criminal Putin.

Ukraine is losing. Stop the war.

Delusional

Zelenskyy is running out of bodies to fight. So even France, given its history of surrendering, will do.

This podcast is hilarious..i swear..im from Florida when will ukraine learn..The west has sacrificed them on the altar of CAPITALISM😂😂😂

We need a leader like President Macron. He says the truth. At the start of the war, I was very angry that he says we should not humiliate Putin.

The fact that Macron's remarks didn't get overwhelming attention and coverage simply shows that what European leaders say is no longer taken very seriously. People wait to see what actions follow their words. And rightly so

What kind of credibility does Europe have to lose? I didn't know it had any left. Europe has been resting on credibility of the past far too long. It seems to me Europe needs to earn some credibility before it can lose it. I would love to see it happen, but it has been a long and disappointing wait. Europe isn't even a real continent, so what is it?

What an utterly ridiculous, moronic, ignorant headline Telegraph 🤣🤣🤣.

WOŁYŃ 43! NIE WYBACZYMY

Viv le France!! Russkiy go home!!

Cant stomach this propagandist crap.Russia has not used world war 1 tactics during this war and relied on it's massive artillery superiority, now suplemented with air superiority to decimate Ukranian positions.

What a joke Ukraines done

I would just like to ask: Is it a good time to put some spare cash in to buy shares in Vickers and Rheinmetal? Would that help with values and morality as Danilov alludes to? thanks just trying to help maybe we could set up a go fund me page to help do our bit and sleep better at night.

I now believe Macron is a great leader

😂😂😂What a joke😂😂😂😂

Less and less good news with each passing day Time to negotiate

Is there a mechanism that can somehow remove Russia from the UN security council? The USSR was rewarded inclusion, by winning WW2 (they really did). Russia proper, inherited these veto rights. Severe UN sanctions would inflict deeper wounds, than the anemic economic ones that have been implemented, so far.

Is this a joke???

Macron makes Trump look like a wimp.

I hope if (when) Starmer wins, he'll have the authority to join Macron in leading support for Ukraine.

Very informative disinformation…

At last, a European leader gets a spine.

😂😂😂😂 Please be real

Slava Z baby ☦️🇷🇺☦️

Uk fart propaganda

News!! Propaganda more like.

what a joke program!
