Might not be enough tanks, but the moral of the ukraine defenders will improve just by having Nato tanks by their side.
The word is morale not moral.
@Jimmy Timmy Keep grazing on that Kremlin propagandists grass like the other sheep 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🇷🇺🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
@Jackie Mack Oh god, what have i done.
@Jimmy Timmy You tell me how many mercenaries (eu, us) are fighting in Ukraine ? And then tell me how many Ru soldiers are dying everyday ?
@Supersupra87 I know. Bad bad boy. Just sayin. My OCD kicking in but I can’t do Algebra to save my life 😆 forgive me?
A man’s got to know his limitations – let’s see when puthler realizes that he have lost in every aspect in this war. Ukraine will prosper! 💙💛🔱

🙏🇺🇦💖🥇SLAVA UKRAINI!👏🇫🇮🇨🇭
🥇💖🇺🇦 Heroic Sava🥇💖🇺🇦
This is a very important first step in providing Ukraine with weapons to take the offensive against Russian forces. Expect Russian spring offenses on all fronts including the border with Belarus in an attempt to overwhelm Ukrainian forces by sheer numbers. That has been the Russian tactic since WW II. They don’t care about the number of body bags they create. I just hope there are enough armored components in place to hold off the Russians into the Summer when the new Leopard tank battalions become activated. US Abrams tanks won’t see the battlefield until late Summer or Fall at the earliest. Pray for Ukraine that they can hold off these despicable attacks until western armor gives them the upper hand on the battlefield. Fighter aircraft should be next!

Slava Ukraini!💪
Yes these tanks will make Ukraine hit hard, but it will also make Russia hit harder, not the best diplomatic path, it does not mitigate the harm. Not only the death of their soldier but death of the Ukraine nation.
Maybe for the spring offensive get some South Korean SGR-A1 auto-turrets to just mow down the Russians as they try to advance in large numbers?
Literally escalation…
Shame on those who try to defend brutal dictators like Putin & Xi. Ukraine is a sovereign, peaceful country, a trade partner, a close ally & an important part of the civilized world. They have the right to live in peace. The slaughter of innocent Ukrainians & forced deportation of Ukrainians to Russia must stop.
Love how he says main battle tanks! Slava Ukraine! Freedom from Putin and one party systems!
@Jose J nope it is, considering we actually have party changes that have different ideals and policies lol. Also the ruling party doesn’t assassinate or imprison their rivals. I don’t like the way the two party system works much either, but I’ll take it over the worst kept secret of a Democratic system that Russia has
@Геннадий Шуплецов ok… but all agree with Putler right?
@Геннадий Шуплецов the opposite parties are good to disagree with Putin, yeah right. When most Russians have only really seen Putin in power their whole life you know.
@Геннадий Шуплецов The only real Russian to oppose Putin is in jail or dead.
Seien wir ehrlich, wir erinnern uns alle an dieses Video:-

Dear Mr putin, such a powerful man in human history has the capability of adding so much goodness to the world, why waste such powers on destruction. Building a legacy of peace and development for mankind is what I’d do if I had that power,
He’s a 🦐🍆.
@Chelsea Nolen biden is a pedo who made tens millions in ukr
Because he’s evil, doing evil things that evil men have always done.
Putin is doing this because NATO is expnding aggressively, putin must destroy US and west hypocrisy, its been a year already and no one reported about who destroy the pipeline, if the investigation was Russia is the one who destroyed it it will be in the media a day after the incident, but other countries who participate in the investigation already knew who did it so they keep on silent, this bunch of hypocrisy of the west will be destroyed, i hope their houses will be hit with shahed drones.
@Vladimir Protein Kremlin Fascist propaganda being parroted.
To put things in perspective, Ukraine had 176 ICBMs and over 2000 tactical nukes along with bombers able to carry them. They gave it all up in exchange for security guarantees from USA, UK and Russia ( Budapest Memorandum 1994 ). One would say that assisting Ukraine now when its being invaded should be obvious thing to do when you signed up on their security and they gave up literally thousands nukes…
@Gisela Pfeifer you cannot be serious! Do you really think that Putin invaded Ukraine to protect the Russian speaking people in Ukraine? It’s a land grab for Ukrainian resources. Why send many young russian soldiers (who also speak Russian) to Ukraine to possibly be killed? Putin wants to obtain the Wheat, grain and fertilizers as well as the Salt and gypsum mines and other minerals, Gas and oil. Also if he keeps Crimea and all of the Ukrainian ports,he will have control over the Black sea shipping lanes. You are aware of this? It’s not about liberation it’s about gaining resources and land in the aid of Novorussia!
@Gisela Pfeifer BS
@Gisela Pfeifer Then they should’ve went back to Russia.
My man! A fellow historian? or well educated human being…either or….well said sir….ON POINT! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿
giselapfeifer4666 Russia is a a state of terrorists and Russia always attacked the other nations ( Georgia, Moldova etc) … and always the excuse was to protect Russians there… they will never stop if we won’t stop them.. and the civilisations is together to defeat this evil!!!!
Russia Response: “These tanks will burn just like all the others”
No, all the others burned because of your faulty autoloader design.
Looks like you have been reading and listening to way too much western propaganda. These western tanks don’t have some magical “cheat code” that’s gonna stop them from blowing up from Russian artillery or anti tank weapons. They will blow up and burn just the same. This is gonna be quite shocking once we start seeing these western tanks getting blown up on social media.
The facebook, reddit and twitter mods will have to work overtime to remove these post and censor anything showing destroyed western tanks haha.
@diasflac0g dog, Russia ain’t got the logistics for all the copium you’re going through right now.
Thank you USA, Germany, UK, France and Poland and all other friends who help Ukraine to drive these barbarians out of her sovereign land. From every last square inch. This is the right thing to do.
Slava Ukraine from Hungary. Glory to the heroes of Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Hello Alex V. First time I saw my name and was confused at first.
From USA
👊🇺🇦🇺🇸
Yeah best of luck with that
It’s not like the Ukrainians will be able to just hop into the German tanks and be able to use it to maximum capacity. Going to take a while to get them trained up. But I imagine at this point they’re probably pretty good at figuring out foreign weapons systems.
I’d seen several years ago a really impressive documentary about tank school. It is on par with flight school, from requirements to be placed to the technological challenges they must master.
@Shane Painter Haw haw. And the electronics and maintenance? It’s not a farm tractor.
@David Renwick like I said anyone can operate a tank its not the 30s
Yes, the Ukrainians have proven themselves very capable with Western advanced equipment. I assume those with MBT experience will be the first to go to school for the new tanks. Should be a quick learning curve. I also assume that those currently training for the F16 aircraft are already military or commercial pilots. Things are looking up. 🙂
@Shane Painter anyone can learn to drive a tank. It’s battle tactics that takes time. Coordination between ground troops, air and artillery support. Tactical maneuvers, proper positioning, communication with other armored vehicles. Then you get into advanced tactics. What type of ground you are traversing on. What ammunition you need to use (It’s more than just AP and HE). Calculating targets. How experienced is your loader, commander and gunner.
Extremely well done!
It’s impossible to overstate how important the last point made by Jen Stoltenberg is. If Putin/Russia wins this war it will be a tragedy for Ukraine but it will inevitably lead to a destabilization of Europe and indeed the whole world. Yes supporting Ukraine is the moral thing to do but the West benefits enormously from the heroic sacrifices being made by ordinary Ukrainians. It’s important to drive home that message to the populations of Western countries. The cost of helping Ukraine now is a pittance compared to the cost we would incur by having to fight a full scale war on the European continent against a belligerent Russia.
Amen to that Juan. Thanks
It’s true the Ukrainian tank crews will need training, but a good tank crew or truck driver-aircraft pilot- heavy equipment operator or a mechanic all can learn quickly to operate and maintain a different machine. There are many examples of Ukrainian civilians jumping into Russian equipment and driving away with it. And how much training did they get? Granted they did not go into battle with them as far as we know. Canada should send our leopard 2 tanks and stage our supply, repair and training efforts in Poland.
Ukraine is fighting for their lives, my prayers 🙏 goes out to them.
..and for ours – that’s what we need to keep in mind.
They are fighting for what lays under theor feet fool, see mining
Let’s pay more taxes some that we can help them
Well this may not ‘initially’ add up to the 300 Zelensky wanted, it does start to add ‘up’ and with Abrams and Leopard 2’s sharing the same ammo, logistics issues are reduced. I think the Challenger 2 uses some of the same Ammo too that is ‘more’ accurate with the rifled barrel but can’t shoot certain ammo because its rifled but they have used tanks and IFV’s before in a ‘combined’ force so I don’t expect them to ‘struggle’ with western made gear – especially as they are supported by IFV’s sent to Ukraine and they all speak the ‘same’ language to co-ordinate effectively on the battlefield so I doubt it will matter where the tanks were made, they’ll integrate them in effectively – they seemed to grasp Hi-mars and M270’s well enough…
Ukraine already lost lol
There are currently just over 2000 leopard 2a4 2A5 and 2A6 tanks in NATO countries hands at moment….. If all the pledges come in…they will get the 300 they want. Mostly 2A5´s. Germany is sending its 2A6 model. All deadly!
@Ligma Johnson Quite the Opposite!…..Considering russia was Supposed to sweep through Ukraine & Dominate in 3 days. We have seen NO Sweeping and NO Dominating! Except for the russians, dominating AT sweeping up, ALL of their Dead Orcs!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇸
The Ukrainians need to be schooled in modern combined arms armor offensives. They should punch into the russian’s rear and kill the russian offensives by starving them and disrupting their rear. Expect alot of bodies. So sad. I hope the Ukrainians kick the C.R.A.P. out of the russians.
@Todd Dillon need to stop watching Western propaganda LOL….. The first casualty of war is always the truth….when will you sheep ever learn?….
Slava 🇺🇦!!! ~ an American who votes, writes, speaks out every oppty.
I like what he said at the end of the interview. Essentially he was saying is if countries like Russia succeed in taking Ukraine by force, then other countries will see this as a way to do the same thing. We need to supply them with military equipment so they can defend themselves so this doesn’t happen.
老實說，我們都記得這個視頻：-
https://youtu.be/RmKA26-CNBU
Who’s next to fall, Latvia, Taiwan. Maybe the Kiril Island’s
US illegal invasion of Iraq has entered the chat.
Turkey illegally invading Syria has entered the chat.
NATO’s illegal destruction of Libya has entered the chat.
NATO had absolutely no business expanding to Russia’s borders, and the only reason why the U.S. is sending weapons is because the idiotic and utterly failed “war on terror” came to an end so the arms industry needs another boogeyman.
Your unbiased and pertinent questions demonstrate a knowledge of the subject matter. I compliment you on your poise and demeanor. You are a valuable news journalist.
Thank you, Jens Stoltenberg, for all you do and for all you have done to help keep NATO united and committed to the defense of Ukraine against Putin and this Russian aggression.
We are fortunate to have a man like you at the head of the NATO defensive alliance. I am impressed with your moral courage and sense of what is right and what is just. May God be with you and with the Ukrainian freedom fighters. Ukraine carries the weight of the fight. Surely we can carry the weight of supplying them the tools necessary to preserve theiur country and their freedoms. With the help of NATO and the west, Ukraine can win. Ukraine must win. Losing is not an option. The consequences of this fight will be felt for centuries to come.There can be only one outcome. Glory to Ukraine!!!
😁😵💫🤡😂
*Stoltenberg is laughing stock for god sake*
@Elbib Wen Who’s laughing? Putin and his Russian criminals? I don’t think so. Tanks are coming and so are the Ukrainians. If Putin is smart, he will cut his losses and stand down. Why sacrifice his mobilized civilians and put them in a “meat grinder” in an effort that has already been lost. It is over, but for the crying by the Russians and the cheering by the Ukrainians. The longer Putin persists in this losing effort, the more he stands to lose. Seeing how incredibly hard-headed the Russians are it will most likely take another year or two before they come to realize what everyone else already knows. The outcome is not in doubt. NATO and its allies are united and committed to the defense of Ukraine and victory by the Ukrainian freedom fighters in repelling the invaders/aggressors from their sovereign territory. Thank you Jens Stoltenberg and all who support Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!!!
Stoltenberg is a very intelligent man, he always has very informative answers to questions asked. 👏
I am from Canada and I am proud that our country is donating 200 Canadian made armoured personnel carriers to Ukraine, these vehicles offer state-of-the-art, best in class technology and weapons can easily be mounted on them.
