    I don't think they believe what they are saying.
  • @trqster
    "There is no reason to be afraid of Russi@" - such great news Mr. Expert! Marina is the only person here that knows what she's talking about
  • @indian2003
    Marina Miron has been the most level headed real expert used by DW so far during the war.
  • @Dengtree
    This German guy is kind of slow 😂
  • @alfredorayo1
    Marina Miron is by far the best analyst´since the beginning of the war
  • the woman.. Marina is the only lucid one there in the debate.. The german dude is straight out a lunatic.. the russian/ukrainian dude was.. i don't know depressing
  • @dipin2
    That guy Nico lange is a blind anti putin anti russia. We can be heard he's saying Russia achieved nothing in this war😂. He's biased
  • @dechingmuu
    She has brain and be honest the situation。
  • @chokosabe
    Marina always bringing up great points. Will whats being proposed actually make a difference?
  • @John_Pace
    If the Russians were casualties were as high as reported by Western media, then why is Moscow recruiting so many volunteers? Interesting, it is Ukraine that is having to press-gang new conscripts, not Russia.
  • @jineeshpr
    Shoigu was actually promoted right?
  • @Brimwald
    Marina is right about consider the consequences of an effective no fly zone and the escalatory ladder that would follow. If any significant action is taken it needs to be thought out long term with 10 moves ahead planned for. The fact that new actions arent taken is because there is a fear of destabilizing that will impact reelection campaigns making hard choices not acceptable. Elections will always matter more to politicians than anything else.
  • @dsolis7532
    Wtf with this panel. Shoigu is not fired, he was moved, the guy he substituted retired and his son got a job at the government. This is just a shuffling. Also, he says that Shoigu hasn’t got any military goal. What about a fifth of Ukraine?
  • @conchaivn
    The gentleman that keeps saying Russia has not achieved any or its military goals, how does he know what Russia's military goals are?
  • @wilsonerese7677
    Why you switch off while she's talking her side. Meaning you don't want to hear by the viewer and your talkativeness be more to broadcast.
  • Nico is some kind of impressionist artist or something, he's talking about alternative reality which has nothing in common with the reality the rest of the world experiences.
  • @Hans-Wolff
    As a German I think Tony played a Song in the Bar to Welcome Russia in Ukraine in General and in Kharkiv in Particular :"Thanks Russia for defeating Us in Europe"
  • @nemo1877
    The German analyst is living on other planet...Unfortunately all western analysts are very naive regarding the Russian potential.
  • That's censorship DW. You didn't want Maria to finish her statement because it wasn't the DW talking point. What a shame. 😂
