1. So what zelensky thinks after attack russian oil

2. 🇷🇺🐻👊☦️🇨🇦

3. Wow. So many Russian trolls in one place, doing the same job. Now Putin knows where to find idle hands for the front lines..

4. Slava russia

5. Shovels 🦾

6. And floods bombed russian cities

7. Cool

8. "Bloody Russia"
   They know nothing else.

9. They attack yours, You attack theirs
   Equitable Justice fair and square

10. The country that needs demilitarising is Russia. Putin is pure evil.

11. The opposite happens nobody mentions it happening ‘despite Ukraine trying to liberate Ukrainian land’

12. Has Macron already allocated money for the construction of barracks for soldiers in the Odessa catacombs? It's a small chance for them, but it's still a chance.

13. Ukraine stop listening to western leaders telling you to attack Russia on your own risks.

14. Surrender or Ukraine will be out of network 😅 just because of US, UK Ukraine couldn't make a peace deal in 2022.

    Now uktaine has troops shortage, if just 32000 were killed where is zeleneskeys 1million troops?

    Now its clear Huge dead among Ukrainians

15. Its just decommunization of soviet infrastructures, so Ukraine leaves back all totalitarian past 😂

16. Ukraine is darkness may help them see more clearly.

17. Russia and global terrorism?. Come on france 24 you can do better.

18. Where's the Patriot system? Running out of ammo? The Russians should be having this problem not Ukraine.

19. What’s new, Ukraine needs to do same russia

20. Russia is undefeatable under great Putin.

21. Ukraine needs 100,000 mini distributed energy systems consisting of Wind, Solar and Tesla Powerwall batteries. Use the frozen Russian funds to purchase this. Wind / Solar / battery – Distributed electrical energy system. Each system would support a community of 400 people and generation capacity of approx 1.6 megawatts. They could use approx. 400 kW wind turbines which are smaller and more difficult to hit by drones and missiles and can be repaired or reconstructed within 24 hours. Each turbine could generate up to say 1.6 megawatt hours per day, based on an average generation output of 66.66 kW per hour over a 24 hour period. If we assume capacity factor is around 20%, then this covers the 66.66 kW output comfortably, with a slight average 14 kW reserve output capacity. This system would provide approx. average of 4 kWh of available electricity per day per person. This is below the average western daily electricity usage, however adequate for wartime use and basic power services. The benefit of this approach would be that for the invading force to take out one system, they don't disrupt more than 400 people per accurate missile strike. This would also mean that the invading force would have to fire very expensive missiles to take out less expensive power generation systems. This comes back to the analogy of the inexpensive drone Vs very expensive tank dilemma that the illegal invaders currently face. It just becomes less economical for the enemy to take out all power generation facilities. Further more as mentioned the facilities can be more easily repaired or rebuilt individually. The systems can be complimented with solar panel power generation and also two days battery storage. The systems could be manufactured in the EU block and shipped to Ukraine, along with replacement parts. Distributing the energy grid in this way could reduce the disruptive impact of missile strikes on power generation facilities and make Ukraine more impervious and more resilient to missile attacks on its power generation facilities. One could vary the size of these systems depending on requirements such as, cost, risk, maintainability and other relevant factors etc… Apart from the military strategic benefit, this renewable grid decentralisation would also have a long term benefit to Ukraine, making it less dependent on coal, oil and gas.

22. Vladimir Putin needs to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

23. That’s some nasty shovels
