    David Petraeus is the perfect example of how an incompetent official can rise to the highest ranks of an Army thanks to his family connections and spectacular brown nose attitude. Such a delusional clown talking fantasies. Needless to add BBC only pushes propaganda and doing no real journalism. Any sensible person would know from day 1 that Russia will win the war in Ukraine, a war caused by 25+ years of irresponsible foreign policy by the US and UK. The victims are certainly the poor Ukrainian people who have the disgrace to have been suffering for years from the regime of extremely corrupted politicians who sold the bodies of their fellow citizens to the cynical financial interests and delusional geopolitical dreams of the warmonger neocons Western establishment

    I wonder what General Petraeus thinks now. I wonder what John Simpson is saying now. The Ukrainians have been forced to fight this counter-offensive by the warlords in the West. They are dying just to please the people making money from this war. Can we not just admit this? Crimea ( and the east of Ukraine) is now Russian. it is not coming back to Ukraine. Cut the losses. Stop the people being needlessly killed! Or at least start feeling guilty for encouraging them to die.

    The Napoleonic Wars resulted in the deaths of approximately three to six million civilians and soldiers, with Napoleon Bonaparte playing a significant role. Similarly, Adolf Hitler, an infamous Nazi leader and mass murderer, was responsible for the death of millions during World War II. Conservative estimates suggest that the war caused casualties ranging from 70 to 85 million, comprising around 3 to 4 percent of the global population. Another example is Joseph Stalin, who deliberately caused the deaths of about six million individuals. Considering foreseeable deaths resulting from his policies, the number rises to around nine million. Likewise, Vladimir Putin, listed as a war criminal by the ICC, initiated airstrikes in Syria in late 2015. The Russian army's invasion has indiscriminately targeted heavily populated civilian areas, resulting in a horrific loss of life. The final casualty count, including casualties from several other countries, is yet to be determined. In the Ukrainian war alone, the estimated number of deaths is at least 500,000. Reflecting on these past wars, it is evident that we have not learned enough. Such atrocities must cease, as individuals like Putin exhibit psychopathic tendencies and disregard human life.

    Ukraine will not achieve air superiority over the disputed region (neither will Russia). Therefore Ukraine should proceed with its offensive while Russia is in paralysis with mutineers.

    War is not in everybody genezour country is doing this war because it's making the rich richer with no regard for the Ukrainian citizens they have no choice they have to go till the last man do u think our country gives crap about them ( not one bit ) and also do we think Russia is giving up so close to their border ( no they are not ) most of all the other country's in the world are asking for peace except us and the country's we bully makes no sense . Donald Trump said he could stop this war in on day. I believe him

    This bloke must be taking drugs. Ukraine is the one on the offensive and it has been destroyed before even getting to the first wave of troops. The offensive is over. Russia doesn't want to move it wants to destroy the Ukraine army.

    Yup! General Petraeus KNOWS! He successfully conquered Afghanistan! And sent the evil Taliban monsters scurrying away.
    And look at the great success those US generalsin the Pentagon had in Iraq. And in Syria. And in Vietnam.
    Soon, Ukraine will be another "peace-loving" NATO member with its US missiles (possibly with nukes) pointed directly at Moscow! As that evil madman Putin scurries away!
    The great Spring Offensive will start any day now.
    ANY DAY NOW! The GREAT SPRING OFFENSIVE! STARTING SOON!
    REALLY SOON!

    petraeus is the quintessential spokesman for the MIC and non elected swamp creatures in the Beltway who have made Ukraine the 51st state with a 150B $ welfare handout to defend the UKE border but leaving the US/Mexican border completely undefended and open. 70 ton tanks means he is completely clued out on tanks geometry and has been in an office job for too long and he was no shining star in Iraq against a weak Iraq army.

    has anyone stopped an considered what the Russians would do if the Russian defense line collapses? If I understand correctly Russia invaded because the Ukrainian was getting invited into nato. President Putin's ego won't just let him quit. I pray there may a way out of this situation that both sides can live with.

    This didn't age well! Ukraine are getting decimated. How could the Ukrainian leadership be so stupid and so reckless with the lives of their people as to end up being cannon fodder in the US/NATO's proxy war against Russia? Having to beg for weapons and being pressured by the West into a suicidal offensive, hopelessly trying to show a return on Lindsay Grahams investment to precure more weapons that ultimately won't make any difference.

    I will never forgive the US/NATO for creating this mess, my own country (UK) for being a major ringleader and deliberately stalling piece talks, and the "leadership" of the entire collective west for arming bankrolling, in some cases, actual neo-nazis and prolonging this war, you all have blood on your hands!
