It's taken close to 4 years for Sky News to "kinda" understand Russia's demands all along.

What happened to the 'Ukraine is winning' narrative. Insane back tracking.

The minerals in Donbass are insignificant when compared to the resources that Russia has of its own. Minerals has nothing to do with why Russia wants the Donbass.

He says they did it to get a land bridge to crimea, thats rubbish reasoning 😂😂

4 more years and these people will also learn that Donbas wasn’t Ukraine until USSR made it so.

So Shaktar Dohnetsk will be out of the champions league?

Russia never wanted the whole of Ukraine, why do these so called analysts keep saying that

This same guy from the beginning of the conflict has been saying how unimportant these areas are. What has changed to make them important?

Peace is miles away. Russia won't be humiliated and Zelensky won't surrender rich land.

Come on Sky News! Hire someone who actually have something useful to say.

Russia has always been very consistent on its demands: 1.- NATO membership for Ukraine is off the table, 2.- The 4 regions of the Donbass must be integrated to Russia.

Ukraine and nato lost the war. The sooner they admit it the sooner peace can happen

The reason why Donbas is non-negotiable is because they had a referendum that voted to separate from Ukraine and join Russia. That "town belt" he referred to was shelled for months by Ukranians to subdued the population. And the population wants them back. If Ukranian wanted that population it would have followed the Minsk agreements and not have imposed a blockade.

Before there was a USSR - Donestsk and Luhanska were the homelands of the Don Cossacks. Joseph Stalin took care of that problem. The goal today is to reduce the size of Ukraine and turn what's left into rump state, similar to Vichy France

Sky Muppet show

Putin will never allow Ukraine to be a threat again. That's VERY Important! Not again!

“Minerals” - Russia is one of the leading countries for minerals… Minerals is NOT why they are in Donbas.

Give back Ireland back to the Irish .

Welsh miners dug coal for the Tsar in Donbas. Russian, always Russian, as is Crimea.

Feel like this is the first unbiased straight to the point mainstream news piece I've watched all year👍🏻
