What is Russia's plan for victory?

The Russians have no intention of taking all of Ukraine for obvious reasons. This guy is completely clueless.

Who told you Russia wants to take all Ukraine?

Nato pushed it's boundaries too close to Russia. The west was always Hungry to take more resourses from other contries and Russia has plenty. So it's a war that west started.

America needs to getting out of control too

CHRISTUS VINCIT

That's how the USSR worked is it not. No surprise here.

Thanks for this meaty analysis. I had to listen to it twice, It is so important for our politicians to understand, I do hope they're listening. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Wars are about resources or influence. This one is for both reasons.

This is the most accurate breakdown of Russian aims that I have seen yet. Would not put it past Putin to be this sneaky. Now it makes sense. Why waste your own troops and equipment in a war you know is going to be concluded to your advantage at the negotiation table. Use some dimwit tin pot dictators troops and equipment to do the dying for you. Kim, you've been had by Putin.😂

At last, Ukrainians will be in NATO countries.
Ukraine will be Russia federation of Ukraine.
That is the only way to have long term world peace.
Because, Ukraine is never a independent country.

You are such warmonger!

OMG, this guy is so pathetic!!!!
This war was never about Ukraine for Russians.
It has been the Russian war against NATO.
How much longer this simple thing has to be explained????

Excellent analysis.

Excellent analysis.

A video full of western nonsense.

The goal of Russia is to keep the Sebastopol naval base, allowing to retain control over the Black Sea and have access to the Mediterranean region. For that, they took Crimea using the moment of instability. But as it turned out, the Crimea bridge alone is not enough of a lifeline, and Crimea agriculture was suffering from water shortages and started questioning benefits of staying with Russia. So, to keep Crimea, Russia needs a "land bridge," which southeast Ukraine is planned to be. This is an ultimate goal, everything else is optional. That's it, folks.

Meanwhile western politicians: after ukraine, putin is going to poland and baltic states 😂

Wow. Outstanding work. Thank you.

Why dont you tell why Russia wants power over Ukraine? It is just not to allow NATO further expansion to Ukraine as it was invited to join back in 2008. It is the trigger of this escalation. What would US do if Mexico would negatiate to place Chineese rockets next to Texas, US would invade Mexico to take power over mican politicians. Same here. NATO came to russians borders.

Shit their fucking pants. That’s what their plan.

A possible unilateral ceasefire from the Russian side is a genius assumption/projection. A well-crafted and delivered analysis. Well done.

While it is concerning that many in the west have the wrong idea what the war is about, it's reassuring to know that all they have to do is watch this 14 minute video to understand what is really going on.
Thanks for sharing as ever Anders. - you're the best at this.

Ahhh, Russia wants a Lukashenko like government in Ukraine.

Exactly. I'm Ukrainian. Quite agree with this guy. Thank you, Sir, for a truth point!

Thank you Anders for the understanding of the topic and explaining it to the broader western audience. It's strange to me, that it isn't known for a fact. That it is about the influence. When pro-russian politician sits on the president seat, such as Yanukovych (who fs up his own people) ruzzia is happy. Whereas when a pro-western politician, who is supported by majority of the country comes to power ruzzia gets mad and want to restore the status quo, with a puppet sitting in Kyiv, the same can be said about any post-soviet country: Georgia, Moldova, etc. ruzzia is a modern colonial power, and those leftist who support ruzzia because of it's communist past are quite blind and delusional. Ruzzian propaganda works very well though.

Thank you, Mr. Zander’s for the unbiased information on this conflict. I myself want this war to stop, so the death and carnage will end.

I’m from the US, and we have a lot of “SLAVA Ukraine” people here. I find that hypocritical. The US wouldn’t like it either if Mexico, Cuba or Venezuela was being invited to a military alliance with one of their geopolitical foes. As you know this happened before and it almost started a war in 1962 with the USSR.

Russia wants Ukraine and all the other former Russian Empire/USSR countries to become puppet states: Belarus is a perfect example.

Putin wants to control Ukraine because this way he’d share border with many more European countries which allows to influence Europe more effectively. For him Ukraine is merely a dirt under the boots of his soldiers. On paper, it may be an independent state like Belarus.

if nato can not give ucraine membership as a security it should give them weapons to defend them self from a posibal second invansian until they get memebarship

I dont think its russian its only putin one man

Ukranians didnt want to live in Russia, because they know their neighboor the best. Its like a forever drunk crazy person with a gun, who took hostages of all his family and now feeling not punished, he wants to expand his power over neighboors. But it's so simple to solve it: let him feel consequences for his actions!

Hvor er det dog nogle gode betragtninger du har. Det eneste jeg kunne mangle var at du underbyggede dine teeser med fact. Det er vel ikke noget du selv har fundet på. Hvis du på en eller anden måde kunne oplyse hvor du har dine teorier fra, ville dine synspunkter måske stå endnu stærkere, Men igen. Rigtigt gode indlæg du kommer med. Tak for det og god jul.

It is a war about Russian security and not about territory or influence. It wouldn't be a problem if Ukraine becomes a EU member. However, what, somehow everyone ommits, even though kremlin communicates it clearly, this war is about not allowing Ukraine join NATO. Russia would rather use nuclear weapons than allow it to happen

Good video

Excellent!

Why is Neutrality left out as the most common sense thing for all 3 involved in this conflict ?

Let all of those western politicians see this video!! This is Putin’s war, and the only reason of it is to keep his power! He doesn’t care about Russia, people or anything else. All he wants is power and money. And this war is helping him a lot!

When I see puck it is a dislike automatically...

In any case, Russia wants to conquer all of Ukraine and they can take their time and do it for decades. But next to conquer Moldova, Belarus, Central Asia. Ordinary Russians believe that they should own these lands.

FFS. More propaganda.

If only Anders' voice was more widely heard but there are a hundred opinions, many of them utterly wrong. QV Mearsheimer.
Anders is just one voice.

Our problem in the West isn't an evil cabal ruining everything, it's simple incompetence & "semi-corruption" (QV list of FDA executives who joined Big Pharma).

Source on him saying Russia will lose resources on 2025, because I have been hearing this since 2022 and the mighty Shovel is still swaying, and stoping those Abrahams

You have to consider the Russian population. America threw out the elected Ukraine govt and installed these Azovs. They burned people alive in Odessa and murdered 14,000 people in Donbas. The CIA had 10 bio/chemical labs set up near the Russian border. The Russian people won't allow that to happen again. If NATO doesn't like Russia's terms...see you in Lvov.

Dis guy is well informed 👍

it is about territory, since the eastern part speaks only russian

I stole this comment here from Helen just to push the algorythms to increase your visibility ;-)
