Over the last few days, Russia’s army has tried to take major cities and locations in Ukraine, as part of their wider mission to take over the entire country. They’ve not been all that successful yet, and Putin’s likely disappointed in their performance. So in this video we run through the reasons why Putin’s losing and why that might not be a good thing.

A few people already confused/angry in the comments, but I'd say two things:
1. Watch the video, don't just judge it on the title (and considering the video's longer than the time it's been out I suspect you haven't had chance just yet)
2. 'Losing' doesn't mean 'lost'. Russia is definitely struggling a lot more than Putin ever expected (as we explain in the video you're commenting on) but that doesn't mean it's a foregone conclusion. We would argue that Russia is losing at this point, but that's not us saying it could never change.

Putin has unintentionally strengthened NATO. Now, Sweden and Finland are openly defying Putin by joining NATO. Many of the former Soviet bloc countries are aiding Ukraine so they do not suffer the same fate.

It's very hard for a army to attack
An enemy that knows ever foot of
It's landscape and dug in with modern weapons but as time goes on Russia will get the experience ,and will recrute more
People into the army , Russia is
Next door and wants it's land back
Most of the people in Ukraine are Russia or relaided in some way.
Russia has time on its side and Ukraine will become a unlivable
Place so I think the people will move to another country.

I wouldn't say Putin is LOSING the war. He's just paying a much higher price for every inch of Ukraine that he takes.

The West should maintain their sanctions until Russians abandon their Ukrainian territory including all of Crimea

The courage of Ukrainians is legendary. If you want to support Ukrainians, then you can express the highest recognition to them by calling them Hohol. Among ordinary people, the Hohol is the highest description of their qualities

This is all lies! First, Putin never tried to take over Ukraine or any of its major cities, such as Kiev. The plan was to occupy the eastern provinces, never to take Kiev! You’re just repeating Ukrainian (USA) propaganda!!
@dragonstormx

Would Putin really be foolish enough to use nuclear weapons? I don't feel like there would be any chance of maintaining an occupation if he fires even one given the majority of the Ukrainians would despise him for not only starting a war but using a nuke when things didn't go his way. Not to mention history would remember him as the first man since WWII to use a nuclear weapon outside of test.
On top of all of this he would likely make NATO look even more appealing.

Sadly I think that Putin will eventually win out of shear fire power unless at least a non fly zone is enforced. Putin won’t back down and if it comes to Nuclear weapons

The EUROPEAN are not seriously scared of Putin nuclear threats but the are fear of missiles and bomb drop in their city.
My opinion is hey Putin bring it on then the world will not hear about RUSSIAN anymore.
@MsDeleeuw
February 21, 2024 at 11:11 am
Russia will never us there nuclear missiles they now when they started to lance the hole world wil do that, that wil be end of world so it,s just al bluff poker.
@bobmatch
February 21, 2024 at 11:11 am
Where will it end? Hopefully, not unlike WWII the people of the Western Democracies will not support more war when this one ends, strong men in the east run out of funds, and everybody crawl back into their respected corners until the next dictator want-a-be pops out of the corner.
