  1. Putin Hikes Salary Of New Russian Soldiers; Big Boost For Moscow's Troops Amid Ukraine War Gains

    President Vladimir Putin has doubled the signing bonuses for soldiers joining the fight in Ukraine. New recruits will now receive 400,000 roubles ($4,661) upfront, with regional authorities matching this payment. These financial boosts aim to prevent nationwide mobilization and support the current 190,000 volunteers this year. Critics warn these payments may trigger an economic wage spiral.

  2. 20:22 😂😂😂😂😂😂 The Russians want their troops who they can't train for anything else, to train for the deployment and use of a tactical nuclear weapon… Yeah right… Probably a prequel to "The Blackout" 😂

  3. What impact will Putin's decision to increase the signing on bonus to 400,000 rubles have on the existing recruits (those still alive) who must have signed on at significantly lower bonus payments?

  4. But why should Ukraine default when its sponsors have just stolen 300 billion dollars …not to mention the over 250 billion so far transferred to kyiv

  5. At 40:00 the statement is made that Russia would only use nukes if they felt they were being defeated. Ukraine taking back Crimea is that red line, even Russian moderates believe Crimea is Russian. Ukraine forces are 100 km from Crimea's border.
    Peace now, Russia saves face and Ukraine keeps its sovereignty. Win, win.

  6. Secondary sanctions have been far more successful than most media channels have been reporting on, likely mostly because they are accepting Kremlin talking points rather than seeking information from within Russia

  7. West needs to keep focused on saving Ukraine.

    Ruzz is sagging and likely to fall apart once pudin has his batitsky moment.

    The middle east is a mess with blow back going all over the place. Some seems to be hitting Ruzz, arising from the Syria involvement, evidenced by the attack on the Crocus Concert Hall in Moscow. Other partisan like things also seem to be happening, that are not necessarily a consequence of Ukrainian action but linked to ME.

  8. Смердючi паршиві ублюдки сбушники на цьому каналі йдіть на фронт і воюйте за неньку бо легко сидіти за комп'ютером та гратися в героїв україни та пити каву з коньяком у зручних умовах…..підари та підараски бог дай вас всіх шляк наглий трафить курви нікчемні!!! Ви всі тут злодюги кляті тільки хочете війни бо поки війна йде захід буде давати гроші і ви злодюги будете красти і наживатися на смертях українців. Досить цією війни і смертей. Ганьба верховній раді і банді злодіїв зеленського. Зеленський закінчить так як Дмитро Ярош сказав На Хрещатику На Гіляціі!!!

  9. Yet again, nothing about Chasiv Yar, nothing about Pokrovsk, nothing about Toretsk, nothing about Konstantiniivka…
    The military situation is not covered in any detail because all the details are bad news for Ukraine.

  10. I mean, Russia can't produce a brand new T-72 main battle tank. Putin thinks he has the technology base to produce brand new IRBM nukes? They're scavenging S-300s to use as surface-to-surface missiles. Get real, Mr. Ex-KGB.

  11. Interesting to get the pro NATO side here to juxtapose with more neutral or even pro Russian coverage. Always important to realise that this like most "news" has an agenda
