  2. So with other words Russian bloggers are crying because Ukraine possebly used American weopons to destroy there litle boat and turned in to a midget sub. So why Cry the ship was in ukrainian waters so they are free to use american mahde weopons. BTW like with avery weopon before supplied by West in near future Ukraine will be set free to use the on russian territory. They are already now talking about this and many Nato country already give go ahead. its just USA and Germany that is not on board yet

  8. This is all possible using starlink, you can remotely control any boat with explosive using IOT. Starlink Radio line of sight comminication that's why hard to jam.

  11. In this situation Putin again will conduct nuclear drill and will Warn,warn and warn NATO and West. Comedy man.

  14. Ukraine has no navy it was destroyed by the Russians , they can’t even make 50 cal ammo on their own what makes you think they can supply a navy .This was NATO

  15. Ukraine should focus on stopping the war and not winning. They can never win because they're up against powerful nukes and this could trigger a world war. We don't want that.

  17. What a joke china n Russia hacks cant make a difference they got destroyed in cyber space not able to use net work world wide groups stay focused on the next generation

  25. Classic old WION, always defending russia. One thing i like about it though that when it comes to china, WION blows all the shit crap they got 🤣

  35. Ukraine better not be taking bribes or selling missles or keeping the money that USA is sending. Or they will find themselves in trouble, so I hope Zelenski finds out about this

  37. I prefer you say NATO has sunk the vessel operating in Ukraine . WION is afraid to say exactly who is fighting the RF in Ukraine. Note the world south knows that fighting in Ukraine is done by the US and its NATO allies

  42. Perhaps if countries like India would stop buying cheap, bloody oil weapons and lumber from Russia, They would put to an end of this madness and go broke. Many of their refineries were shot down recently, so the both the money and the oil stops flowing, Russia now imports oil from other places to fuel their sorry-ass warmachine. You guys have to make up your mind about which side you are on! Slava 🇺🇦
