The recent escalation in hostilities in Ukraine has put at least 7.5 million children in grave danger of physical harm, severe emotional distress, and displacement. Save the Children have been in Ukraine since 2014, and are on the ground near the Ukrainian border providing people with life-saving assistance as they flee the conflict. Please donate, every little bit counts.

This is Putin’s war and to understand it you have to look at the story Putin tells himself and the Russian people that helped justify this invasion. In this video I explore Putin’s motive and make the case that Russia has already lost this war.

Thank you to the excellent reporting by: The New York Times, The BBC, Reuters, The Economist. Thank you to all those on the ground who sent me videos and perspectives about the situation.

    "The intel was exactly right." As a career intel analyst, that is not a sentence you hear very often.
  • @Xavierpng
    Huge thanks for calling the army "Putin army" instead of "Russian army". And for so much effort you are putting into it. Great work.
  • @user-gv1ve7jq6t
    To everyone asking to update the video, he can't do that, Joni has already spent the money he got for this video.
  • This video is almost two years old... Johnny can you make an updated video all the way from start thru September 2023? With current events on this conflict in Ukraine and show how all parties involved have been affected, the relation of this war with BRICS, the African Rising and the Demoralization of the global economy?
  • @Phant0mZ_360
    The logistics of war is something a lot of people tend to overlook
  • @superikura2453
    History has taught us that invading a country is easy, but keeping it is near impossible.
  • @yossefs
    Definitely need a current update Johnny!!
  • @hillmieahmad
    Dont feel shy to make an update of your assessment 2 years ago.
  • @zhenyiwong
    Seeing the unity of the Ukrainian people gives me goosebumps.
  • As a Russian I feel terrible about what has already happened to Ukraine as well as about the upcoming economical catastrophe we're flying towards because of this war nobody asked for. I'll probably get mobilized if the war won't end soon, until then I'm going to protest for as long as I can.
  • @user-jf2ft5vv4o
    I rarely write comments, I'm from Ukraine and want to say thank you! I'm literary crying when watching this, thank you for support and letting world know what going on here, I love my country and want peace, and I would rather die but not give up my country!!!
  • @NightDocs
    As a creator myself I’m very selective on who I support on Patreon but I’m a proud enthusiastic supporter of you. Your style, storytelling, editing is a huge inspiration to me I really mean that.

    I sit in switzerland, considered one if the safest places on earth. but there is something in the air ever since this war started, that makes many of us worry, many of us alert. we are a generation that was gifted with peace and democracy, built on the blood of our grandparents. we have to face the fact that it is not to be taken for granted. seeing ukraine suffer is a vision of what could happen to many more countries. thank you for giving us a perspective of hope. i hope europe/ukraine stays brave and doesn't back down. it is not a matter of ukraine alone, it is a matter of all of us, of our home and our prosperity. ukraine is fighting for the kind of democratic freedom we are born into. They give me hope that people can still unite, and withstand terror.

    I'm actually feeling sad for the children in Ukraine. They don't understand war but they are sufferers.
