Inspector Scott Ritter delivers a harrowing analysis of Ukraine’s deteriorating battlefield position. With relentless Russian advances, Ukrainian forces are losing strategic towns like Orikhiv and Tokmak, critical to their defense. As electronic warfare and artillery strikes paralyze Ukraine’s command and communication, over 2,600 casualties have been reported in a single day. The HIMARS systems, essential to Ukraine’s counteroffensive, have been destroyed, leaving troops vulnerable. Will Ukraine be able to withstand Russia’s tightening grip? Or is a total collapse inevitable?

  1. Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity.

    In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.

    If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.

    Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.

    Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time.

    Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.

    20th September, 2021: Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO.

    NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter).
    We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.

    Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster?

    Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest.

    Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland.

    Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed.
    Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens—theirs will hide in the basements”.

    Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it.

    Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country.

    Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list.
    Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list.

    There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence).

    The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present.
    Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave.

    Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) R.I.P.

    The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims).
    The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter.

    I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion.
    I have provided a brief summary of events that took place. In order to explain this whole situation in great detail, a book would need to be written.
    Hopefully someone will write an UNBIASED book, stating facts and allowing the readers to form their own judgments. Everything I said can be fact checked and verified.

  2. Zensenky needs to go and should never killed Ukrainian Russians! Women, children and Men and should listen to Putin instead of NATO and America. I am American and I Blame Biden and Elites! They do not care about Ukraine! Think of how many lives would have been saved! We have Blood 🩸 on our Hands! GOD pleas forgive us✝️🇺🇸🙏

  3. I wonder what's that giving confidence to Joker Zelensky to continue this war against all powerful Russia??? I think like US, Ukrainians too are consumed by hubris. Whatever weapons, how much weapons US and NATO may provide, everything will go down the drain. Russia can not afford to lose this war whatever may come nor is it going to loose this war.

  4. Can you shed some light on the reports that the Russians are losing upwards of 1200 troops a day in combat, be they deaths or injuries, is this true, and if so what does this dynamic look like?

  5. 100% Scott, few days they were standing at Kiëv doorstep. Then Putin did something amazing, he called the troops back. Understand, Russia is not in war with anyone, decided to help the Donesk&Lugansk population after democratic elections were held by which over 80% of the people there litterally begged Russia to help them. So Shoigu was not allowed to finish the job and in fact was replaced. To take Kiëv would have been war, the polish had their army on alert ready to move in, this would have ment european, NATO involvement. To me this was the master stroke, from then on Putin called it a limited military operation, to liberate the Lugansk&Donesk population on their explicit request. Eventually after the failed Istanbul peace negociations Donesk&Lugansk became Russia, mind you, all this can be found on-line, the elections, their becoming part of Russia and the rest of it. There is a bigger $story$ here but will leave that for now, it's all an almost exact copy of the last time the dinasty changed adress🧐

  6. Zelensky has literally finished all the big armies, he has finished a large part of the conscriptable population, he still relies on a handful of men, and many old men in the rearguard. The Russians are increasing their possessions visibly, the only handicap on their path, are mines scattered everywhere, but despite this, with minesweepers they always advance. By the end of the year they will reach the Dnipro River, and at that point half of Ukraine will be in their hands

  7. Putin crossed a red line for Xi by making deals with North Korea behind their back. Xi will make Putin and Russia pay. Without China's support Russia will fail economically and militarilyl.

  8. Scott Ridder is a hero. He went to prison for soliciting sex from a minor and emerged a world geopolitical expert. He now makes a fortune spreading Russian propaganda on YouTube. The only problem is he is paid in rubles.

  9. Why not say his name , it was DRUNKARD BORIS JOHNSON and he WILL be accountable for every single unnecessary D€@TH on the battlefield.

    SALUTE to Mr. Vladimir Putin from a retired white South African BOER.

  10. Good never been behind Ukraine from the start and hate it our government is telling us we're in shit monetarily but sending our tax money to a war that has nothing to do with us. Russia has more right there than any of our governments did going abroad to do illegal wars, no wonder the world is pissed off

  11. Scott Ritter claims that the initial part of the Ukraine war was not a war, it was just a Special Military Operation with political goals. What nonsense Ritter. Russia had a forty mile column of tanks and militry vehicles trying to reach Kyiv in the first weeks of the invasion. It was rebuffed by Ukraine's defence and forced to retreat with massive losses. Shameful propaganda.

  12. What Ritter remarked was correct. Russia conducted a special military operation not a war. It was just that US didn't
    Know or realise that. If we're correct., Russia wasn't going in for a war while expecting US to do the long game. Strategically Russia was way ahead of the US.

  13. Ukraine never developed a broad strategy that was based on realistic goals and a means of achieving them. This was the fault of NATO and Zelensky. NATO trained the Ukrainian military in tactics that REQUIRED air superiority. Yet it was obvious that Russia had air superiority in every phase. Zelensky was obsessed with regaining lost territory, which was equally unrealistic. They should have been planning for defense, but they went on the offensive, which requires a 3 to 1 advantage in troop numbers because offense takes 3X as many casualties. Russia gave ground to protect its own troops, while inflicting horrendous casualties on Ukraine. Zelensky went for propaganda victories without regard for his troops. The failure of the offensive was ensured by Z's idiotic defense of Bahkmut, which had no strategic value. Now we are seeing the result of Russia's long-term planning as well as Zelensky's lack of strategic understanding and planning.
