  4. Ukrain can end this war immediately, but it doesn't, constantly asking for new military supplies and seeking paths for escalation.

  8. Al Jazeera failed to play the incriminating audio evidence of a series of subsequent explosions because ammunition was stored there. Al Jazeera may be good on Gaza – but the lie on the regular when it comes to Ukraine, taking the US/Vassal narrative.

  10. Desteoying the whole country rather than accept the wrong thwy did in crimea and give russia what they want and move on
    What a moron dancer president. U can give them crimwa then politically take it back…..no death. Idiot. Thats how politics were invemted. U destroyed the country the peoples future the everhthing bcz u re a jew with big nose and u listen to people who have no interest in ur peace like usa and europw….u lose.

  11. Putin is clown. Killing russian opposition and invading other country using gas to lure Africa, Middle East for legalization of GENOCIDE.

  12. So how will Ukraine win? By aggressive panhandling and begging. How about using diplomacy with Russia? Maybe that could work if Zelensky wasn’t a dictator

  14. talk about timing !
    why would Putin send a bomb into civilian heartland when he wants to negotiate a ceasefire ?

    raise me eyebrows on this one.

  19. These sort of attacks are just terrorism plain and simple..digusting attacks on innocent people doing their shopping..shame on russia

  24. Ukraine stores weapons in civilians infrastructure. Hence, Russia strikes such places.
    No way that place was full with people when it was struck and only four died.

  26. am from Kharkiv ! This is my home town ! 🇺🇦😭😭😭😭😭Before a war it was a very beautiful , reach city 🏙️ with many opportunities: factories 🏭 , plants , markets , hard and light industry… , everything had worked, people had good jobs ! People had families ! Now it is a nightmare 😭😭😭

  29. Im noticing putin is hurting citizens……am i the only one.. …. someone tell putin to be careful. …..he is becoming too much and he us not a god …..its funny

  33. the parking lot shows to be mostly empty, inside footage shows no people, another Ukraine fake? So many times they bomb their own to boost more money from USA

  34. Shopping center used to store weapons and ammunition? Tell the truth Zelensky. And your 400 million dollars in tax havens as reported by Pandora,s Paper?

  35. Wait so Ukraine didn't have an Election because a State of Emergency was declared.
    The comedian is still on stage although the show has ended.
    And all those fit civilians shopping instead of being enlisted ?
    And Bro that's a lot of black smoke for a hardware store.

  38. The number of dead quickly rose to 14. And I think it's over 40 now. This attack is nothing but pure terrorism.
    Yesterday the russian target was Ukraine's largest book printing factory. None of these are military targets.
    Can anyone still fail to see that russia is a terrorist state?
