Galloway shifts the conversation to Ukraine, arguing it has been an incredibly positive few months for the country and the West.

[1] — Jim Himes "Himes visited Ukraine three weeks before this episode and found a country with genuine spring in its step. Russia is losing the equivalent …" 30:55 The casualty numbers Himes cites are staggering — Russia is losing men at a rate that would equal all U.S. Vietnam War deaths within a matter of days. Ukraine's realistic calculation has shifted: any negotiated outcome will be radically more favorable than it would have been a year ago, and there's a genuine, if not high-probability, chance the Russian people do what they have done every 50 years and remove the Tsar. When Galloway asks if a settlement is close, Himes gives an admirably honest and politically uncomfortable answer: he hopes not, because Ukraine on the march is the best position from which to negotiate, and Putin left unchecked may well try Estonia next.
Himes visited Ukraine three weeks before this episode and found a country with genuine spring in its step. Russia is losing the equivalent of all U.S. Vietnam War deaths between now and the weekend. Ukraine is no longer just defending — it's negotiating from a position of growing strength.
