  5. But Ukraine said they've stopped the Russian advances and stalled the offensive. Funny that in this bucket full BS by the media and Ukraine itself they don't know what to say on a daily base. Wonder how low can the western media get.

  11. Why can't you allow residents to tell us that there are no military targets there? Pro-Russian civilians are always allowed to do that by Russian and independent media. Ukraine never allows its civilians to do so because they're scared that the civilians will expose the truth.

  17. Why would Russia use a S300 SAM which has a small warhead to hit a surface target when they could use an Iskandar which costs about the same and is optimized for hitting land targets. and has like a one ton warhead? Answer the Russians wouldn't therefore that is a Ukrainian S300 that missed its target and fell to earth

  18. Ukraine 5 years later you will not see man in the city just women Because America and Europe are using Ukraine but I think Ukraine women They will go Africa find a strong man

  20. LOL. Same thing Ukraine MoD said after Avdiivka. "…we are moving to more advantageous positions to save the lives of our soldiers…" They are retreating to try and build a defense line somewhere between the current front and Kharkiv. With no bunkers, mines or fortifications, that "line" will only slow the RU steamroller
