"They have a very poor record for saving lives on the frontline. They throw in wave after wave... The elite youth have either fled or their hoping that military recruitment won't pick them up because that would cause upset in influential places."
Michael Binyon analyses Putin's conscription dilemma: as he continues to lose soldiers on the frontline but struggles to recruit younger troops without causing upset with Russian elites.

It’s not victory unless Ukraine recovers ALL of their territory back to the 1991 borders.
Ditto.
The Ukrainians do not need to ‘push’ Russian forces out of Crimea they just need to make their situation there untenable. If the Russian airforce can no longer over-fly the Crimea without fear of being shot down and if the Russian navy cannot sail near the Crimea without fear of being sunk then the remaining Russian land forces will no longer be able to rely upon re-supply and will eventually withdraw.
😂
Nice dream, but most Russian forces are re-supplied by the land bridge now, not via Crimea.
@CountDuckEgg false, the land bridge isn't the main route which is why Russia is desperate to protect the bridge.
MARIUPOL MAY ALSO NOT BE DOING SO WELL FOR PUTIN EITHER, IF THERE IS MUCH MONEY LAUNDERING GOING ON BETWEEN HIS GENERALS.

The usa and their puppet countries can do nothing about crimea. Fkn cowards 😂
Yeah in 1991 what about more recently eh ... according to the 2001 Ukrainian population census, 58.3% of the population of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea are ethnic Russians, 24.3% are ethnic Ukrainians and 12% are Crimean Tatars. Polling in 2008 by the Ukrainian Centre for Economic and Political Studies, also called the Razumkov Centre, found that a majority of Crimeans approved the idea of joining Russia (63.8%) neither the world nor Crimea are stuck in 1800 nor 1991 Note thats ONLY Crimea the rest of the Ukraine did not wish to join Russia

A North Korean missile has hit Ukraine, so how can Moscow complain about western missiles being used by Ukraine?
Because he wants his cake & to eat it. Anything that doesn't result in a "W" for Russia results in him being a b***h about it.
...and Iranian shaheed drones.
As long as Ukraine strikes inside Russia, Russia has valid claims to defense and can escalate accordingly. Ukraine is just the stage for Europe vs Russia....a warmup match so to speak.
@RocketPropelledWombat the original version of that saying is "you can't eat your cake and have it too". Wish people would go back to using the version that actually makes sense
North Korean missiles are Russian
the level of understanding of history and particularly crimea among western commentators is frightening how easily they can be manipulated by russian propaganda. there is no excuse for annexing part of another country, so what if it belong to russia for a period of time during which they commited a genocide of crimean tatars? should uk give back london to italians? internationally recognised borders of countries should be respected and that's it, russia has no legitimate excuse to do so
No Russia does not have the right to take by force but its not so simple as your example suggests 58% of Londoners do not self identify as roman do they ... according to the 2001 Ukrainian population census, 58.3% of the population of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea are ethnic Russians, 24.3% are ethnic Ukrainians and 12% are Crimean Tatars.

@@testing52009 Yes they did but you ignore my comment on 58% of Londoners not identifying as Roman don`t you? Which you don`t address for some reason, why is that 520? I don`t give validity I am well aware of Stalins destruction of ethic groups in Crimea, but acknowledging present facts is not giving validity is it, it happened and the make up of the Crimea now is what it is, same as England's is after 43 and the Romans and 1066 Normans they are historical FACTS ,,, what are you advocating cleansing Russians from Crimea to bring it back to pre WW2 However I agree it WAS 100% a land crab by current Russia they had no right they are wrong in their actions without any reservation, their actions in the Ukraine paint both Russian Leaders and Putin as war criminals.
'Crimea has always been Russian'! What nonsense! A quick look at the history books will reveal phenomena like the Tatars and the Ottoman Empire. Saying that Crimea has always been Russia is about as sensible as saying that Scotland has always been Irish.
Russia should be given its original lands.. which includes all of the Grand Principality of Moscow around 1462 CE. Everything beyond that is what Russia stole from others.
For first: China want their land back. A lot of Sibiria are actually chineese.

There is the 1994 treaty that recognized the borders of Ukraine, including Crimea. This cannot be ignored, 1954 or not. Things change all the time. Koenigsburg was German for centuries. When will Germany get it back?
Koenigsburg needs to be part of negotiations/reparations.
Crimea was annexed in 2014. Welcome to the party, you're right on time
When are you signing up?
The 1994 treaty was on nuclear nonproliferation. i assume you are talking about the treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation was an agreement between Ukraine and Russia, signed in 1997, effective in 2000. This treaty was renewed every 10 years, however, because Russia assisted the people of Donbas and Lughansk in fighting an illegitimate regime in Kyv from 2014 . Ukraine announced its intention not to renew the treaty in September 2018The treaty consequently expired on 31 March 2019. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko signed a decree not to extend the treaty.on 3rd December 2018. On December 6 the Ukrainian parliament declared the Treaty to be terminated starting from April 1, 2019.[21]. The borders between Russia and Ukraine had never formally been agreed and it was Ukraine who unilaterally marked out the borders.
The UN Charter and Russia regonized Ukrainia's borders in sovereignty in 1991. If Russia can't respect that, then it is time for Russia to step down from the UN Security Council.
Kalingrad once belonged to Germany, parts of historic Finland are occupied by Russia as is parts of historic China and I could go on. Russia needs to be careful in applying its warped logic as others might do the same.
BS. Ukraine will get Crimea. And there was NO understanding that Russia had rights to Ukraine; there was a clear agreement signed. This guy will have to eat his words.

Crimea voted in 1991 in a free and fair election to be In Ukraine. This is not a war over territory it is a russia’s war to exterminate Ukraine. This man like so many cold warriors have such a difficult time understanding this. Ukraine will not abandon its people to extermination.
I agree 100%.
The statement "Crimea voted in 1991 in a free and fair election to be in Ukraine" misrepresents the actual circumstances of the 1991 referendum. The 1991 referendum in Crimea was about restoring the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic within the Ukrainian SSR, not explicitly about choosing to be part of Ukraine as opposed to another state like Russia. At the time of the referendum, both Crimea and Ukraine were still parts of the Soviet Union. The overwhelming support in the referendum was for the restoration of autonomy within the structure of the Ukrainian SSR. In 1992, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Crimea did declare independence briefly. The 1992 Declaration of Independence by Crimea was influenced by several complex and interrelated factors: Political and Nationalistic Aspirations: Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was a surge of nationalism and regionalism across the former Soviet states, including Ukraine and Crimea. Many ethnic Russians in Crimea felt a strong cultural and historical alignment with Russia rather than Ukraine. The declaration can be seen as an expression of these local nationalist aspirations aiming to assert greater autonomy or even merge with Russia. Ethnic Composition: Crimea had a majority of ethnic Russians who were potentially uneasy with the new Ukrainian government's policies and the prospect of Ukrainian nationalism. This demographic was instrumental in pushing for policies that would secure greater autonomy or a closer relationship with Russia. Economic Uncertainties: The early 1990s were a period of significant economic upheaval. The breakdown of the Soviet economic system led to instability and uncertainty. Regions like Crimea, which were heavily dependent on industries tied to the wider Soviet economy, faced particular challenges. There was a belief that a more autonomous or independent status might allow Crimea to navigate these challenges more effectively. Legal and Constitutional Dynamics: The Ukrainian government was in the process of forming its own identity and constitutional framework, which included defining the status of Crimea within Ukraine. The 1992 declaration was partly a response to these dynamics, as Crimea sought to assert its position and negotiate from a point of strength. Reaction to Ukrainian Policies: The initial moves by the Ukrainian government to impose its control and integrate Crimea into its administrative and legal systems were met with resistance by many in Crimea. The declaration was a pushback against what was seen as encroachment on local autonomy. Ultimately, the declaration was short-lived. The Crimean parliament rescinded the declaration later in 1992 following negotiations with Kiev, which led to Crimea being recognized as the Autonomous Republic of Crimea within Ukraine under a new Ukrainian constitution. This status provided Crimea with a degree of self-governance, although the tensions and complex issues around Crimea's status persisted until the 2014 crisis.
he implied that the war is somehow not full scale and that Crimea is russian historically, very incompetent
He is correct

They have secured them. Russia control them, securely.

@@user-kn3de9li1u I’m not going to be rude so I’ll just say you’re confused, misinformed and out of touch with reality.
Mr Binyon needs to brush up on his history of Crimea.
He does. I would point to 3 facts; 1. In 1800 92% of Crimea residents were Tatars, then byi 1944 after some good old fashioned colonisation was 25%, in 1945, after some ethnic cleansing it was 0%.
By the same logic, Slovakia should be part of Austria and present day Hungary
Crimea is Ukraine agreed
Since when?
This whole war is *about* Crimea. It's mind-boggling that any supposed expert could believe that allowing Russia to retain Crimea wouldn't end in disaster for Ukraine, and eventually the region as a whole. But leaving all that aside, it's utterly preposterous to act as though Crimea is some sort of impregnable fortress. It's extremely vulnerable. As another commenter stated, if Ukraine has the military assets to sink Russian ships, shoot down Russian planes, target Russian ground assets with long-range precision munitions, and prevent resupply to the Russian army in Crimea, as will soon be the case, how, exactly, is Russia going to hold it permanently? 😵💫
Meat grinder about to be turned into a food processor!
Crimea was Ukrainian and Tatar until the Russians invaded the region at the end of the 18th century. They brought a lot of russian colonialists and established serfdom immediately.

Michael Binyon shines as an expert in military affairs, and James delivers a scorching interview bring viewers in the UK and around the world and across the channel from you up-to-date. Early in the interview Mr Binyon sheds doubt on the Ukrainians ever getting Crimea back, but here is what I have heard and my disclaimer is that I am an artist and have never served in the military. America's greatest living general---again, in my unschooled opinion---is General (Ret.) Ben Hodges whom has said repeatedly that Ukraine will not survive as a country if the war ends and they don't have Crimea back in the fold. What General Hodges says to back this up is that if Crimea remains in Russia, then the Ukraine will forever be at mercy of the Russian Black Sea fleet and ditto for the coastal cities in the Sea of Azov. President Putin's crown jewel is Crimea and once you know that, even an armchair defense analyst like myself sees the only main objective for the Ukrainians in the war is to do everything in their power to make the Russians flee the stolen land and then see how long the Russian people will support a president who has lost their main prize from the Ukraine 'military exercise'.
What Black Sea fleet ? Are they not at the bottom of the Black Sea ?
It also wasn't five minutes ago, historically, that a British - Turkish alliance threw the Russians out of Crimea. Ukraine is much older than Russia and if one had a claim on the other it would be the other way around. If Putin wants to blabber about the return of Historical territories, then he needs to grab all Russians and withdraw to about 100 miles south of Moscow and give it all back to the Swedes. I'm sure he'll love that idea.
It’s absurd to pretend that NATO affiliated support services within Ukraine is unjustified or necessarily escalatory, Russia invaded & it doesn’t get to determine who is allowed within Ukrainian borders. Russia’s war is widely & increasingly recognized as villainous & disastrous, its always possible their autocratic State controlled media foundations could crumble at any time. Those risking & fighting in Ukraine should have a greater voice in the process of negotiation, strategy, and reconstruction policy.
Nice.
Мы защищаем свою государство от вас. Как ваше правительство наплеван на международное право, вторгнулось в страны ближнего восток
Here is why I believe Michael Binyon is wrong about the potential of Ukraine to gain all territories to 2014 borders. Russia is vunerable to defeat in so many different ways. The collapse of the Russian Federation might not only be military, but could also be economic and political. A political coup for example is ripe and the new leader will gain support domestically and internationally on a platform of trading territory for peace and the recovery from the horrific reign of Putin. The weakness of Russia is multifaceted and collapse will be sudden and may come in many different forms
Why can’t they get them out of Crimea. If you were in charge. Yes…it would be impossible.

The reason Krushchev would have given Crimea to Ukraine and Russia didn’t dispute this in 1991 is most likely because it makes more sense. It’s almost an island and was dependent on Ukraine for fresh water and tourists. Putin had to build the Kerch bridge to try to restore the economy after the annexation because it was dying. A big reason for the size of the Russian population there was the naval base which was leased to Russia.
We've heard this line countless times. Until we witness concrete action its safe to assume theyre still on board and making money over this heinous war.

Crimea is Ukraine. The Prince of Darkness has my absolute confidence, and it’s no surprise to me that he has been successful.

I’m surprised that James Hanson didn’t ask Binyon about Ivanov. More info on the Shoigu/Ivanov debacle please!
Even within the bounds of one channel we are locked into a journalistic case of ‘chasing the error’; the relentless broadcast of sequential contrary views. Most of the analysts have become obsolescent.
Would have been nice if you had listed who was who in this interview. However, I noticed the "expert" did not answer the entire question with regards to a Ukraine victory. Point 1 is would the "Western Allies" allow Ukraine to retake the Donbas and Luhansk before a ceasefire was called? The war will not stop until they achieve that and it means betrayal of Ukraine if the West stops supporting them. Secondly, a lot of attacks in Russia, such as Belgorod are coming from clandestine teams in small units with fast vehicles or Russians who are rebelling against Putin and his policies. Finally, the eviction of the Russians from all territory of Ukraine will not end the war. It might result in the cessation of fighting, but that will simply mean the Russians will rebuild for a new attack. Even it Putin is deposed, the people most likely to replace him are just as hawkish. The clock on this cease fire would run to Ukraine joining NATO before the Russians feel strong enough for another go.
Conscription is coming.
Ukraine doesn’t need to take Crimea for a tactical victory over the province. If it can demonstrate that maintaining a military presence in the peninsula would be untenable due to lack of reliable supply corridors to garrison meaningful presence to launch any kind of attack, it would be pretty much a bleeding wound in which Russia would have to negotiate terms, continue to burn money it doesn’t have to maintain their positions in Crimea, and it incentivizes Russia coming to the table because it can claim (probably not Putin himself) that they have ‘demilitarized’ some of the contested territories between Moscow and Kyiv. Kyiv needs to be supported at least to the point where it can control key high grounds and junctions that can be fortified to the point where direct attacks would be unproductive, and that all critical supply corridors would be under threat from entrenched Ukrainian outposts that essentially bleed Russian coffers trying to maintain forward support to their positions inside Ukraine.
