  4. Sure those ruSSian terrorists intercept everthing and have no casulties and are not guilty – how dumb can someone be to believe all that junk, unless being brain washed

  12. It was only a couple of days ago the US green lighted for strikes on Russian territory with ATACMS, coming weeks will become increasingly hostile.

  18. Ukraine is definitely winning now!! They are out of reserve brigades, cant hold the front, Russia has air/troop/artillery/rocket/missile superiority…..but Ukraine is definitely winning……just ask the "experts" Slava Biden war pigs , human sacrifice for "democracy".

  19. 0:53 likely a total lie because Russia, but then, how many mothers and 4 year old sons has Russia killed bombing hospitals and apartment buildings on a daily basis for 2 years straight?

  22. Russians are very opportunistic ppl
    We hoped nazu Germany will be our friend …BUT they backstabbed us’ We hoped Ukraine will come to their senses!! and gift us the Donbass BUT they backstabbed us’ with American AID!! History has a funny way of repeating itself 🤭……..

  25. No wonder why Putin is blackmailing the west to not allowing Ukraine to use the weapons in Russia. Even slow moving drones hits their target!

  28. Unfortunately Bullets and Bombs cannot differentiate between civilians and military That is one of the many unfortunately very sad things about any Armed Conflict in any country A statement made during the ll world war by Churchill said the following
    It's better to Talk Talk than War War How very true those words are for todays Worl wide unstable situations If only Politicians could put all differences aside and converse rather than Diverse with a completely neutral commitee. ( Not the UN who no one has any faith in that Orginisation any more )
