  1. Putin is a murderous psychopath and needs to be stopped .. what he is doing is disgusting in targeting civilians !!!!!!!!!!!!! … nothing human about him , he is a savage and animal !!!

  3. This was done by a Ukraine missile. The western media is just trying to blame russia for this.
    What is more surprising is that they never talked about israel intentionally doing this to the hospitals in gaza.

  4. Not only Putin, Zelensky also has blood in his hands..!! On behalf of power..!! They can't escape from the responsibility of these deaths..
    Putin is killing and Zelensky put their own citizens in danger..!! Pathetic situation..!!

  6. The whole world is watching and doing absolutely nothing as one bloody dictator destroys the lives of millions of people. Shameful!

  11. Targeting ? of course its was the same excuse Putin, aka the wanted war criminal used in Syria ! , remember when the then UN Sec General Ban ki Moon when he called the Russians barbaric for their indiscriminate air attacks with dumb bombs, and say no more about how they supported the use of barrel bombs on the civilians in Aleppo, Syria including hospitals , water plants etc

  17. Civilians casualties in GAZA- its ok
    Israel has the right to Defend itself

    Civilians casualties in Ukraine-
    Oh dear lord above, It’s end of the world. Un, NATO, Eu, G7!!!!
    Sanctions on Russia, Supply Weapons buz Humanity is in danger.

    We are living in Dirty, Hypocrite world

  22. The British medical journal, The Lancet, issued a harrowing warning that the true death toll of the Gaza conflict could be over 186,000, accounting for 8% of Gaza’s population.

  25. Very sad but this is all about an American war. Ukraine is the biggest loser, Europe is the second biggest loser and of course, Russia lost a lot in this war, but I believe at the last Russia came out of this war stronger.

  26. Probably the worst real world wide propaganda blow possible.
    NATO n rest of democratic world will perhaps wake up to themselves over Russia's real nature, intention and ultimate goals.
