]]> Lord Richards: Ukraine cannot win against Russia, warns top British army chief Lord Richards: Ukraine cannot win against Russia, warns top British army chief Sun, 19 Oct 2025 07:00:33 GMT 59:36 699895c50e5c959d592f2923 false https://shows.acast.com/world-of-trouble/episodes/world-of-trouble-ukraine-cannot-win-against-russia-warns-top 699895c50e5c959d592f2923 6998810f1b49b62ccc851e6b world-of-trouble-ukraine-cannot-win-against-russia-warns-top full 1 1 Ukraine cannot win its war with Russia and should negotiate peace terms with the Kremlin, according to Britain’s most senior army officer.


Field Marshal Lord Richards said Kyiv will not be able to drive Vladimir Putin’s soldiers out of Ukraine without the help of Nato forces - who won’t get involved on the ground.


Lord Richards, who was promoted to UK military’s most senior “five star” rank earlier this year and led Nato forces in during its troops surge in Afghanistan, said Ukraine’s allies have failed Kyiv.


“What we have done in the case of Ukraine is encourage Ukraine to fight, but not given them the means to win,’ the former chief of the defence staff told The Independent’s podcast World of Trouble.
