1. Mon idée d'une relation rapide implique maintenant une brève sieste entre les lessives et la préparation des repas. Ah, les joies du multitâche dans une relation à long terme👅

2. Mon petit ami m'a demandé de lui murmurer quelque chose de sale à l'oreille. Je me suis penchée et j'ai murmuré : "Lessive… vaisselle… impôts…" Apparemment, grandir est le summum de l'excitation💋

4. Once Ukraine controls 3,000 square miles, Russia will pay attention to

5. Visiting other countries looking for “meat” grinders

6. Yeah, no. It's not going to change the outcome by capturing undefended territory once the reserves are fully mobilized.

   Niu-York fell with Pokrovsk next on the list. Places that were being fortified since 2014. This incursion will be forced to fall back one way or another.

7. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

9. {CNN} The safety situation at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is deteriorating after a drone strike on a nearby road, the United Nations’ energy watchdog warned Saturday.
   The plant, in southern Ukraine, has been under Russian control since March 2022.
   “Yet again we see an escalation of the nuclear safety and security dangers facing the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. I remain extremely concerned and reiterate my call for maximum restraint from all sides and for strict observance of the five concrete principles established for the protection of the plant,” the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in a press release Saturday.

10. When you're faced with a totalitarian neighboring country and its insane leader… when your allies have your hands behind your back, you'll be forced to take extreme measures. And Ukraine calls it – "Kursk 2.0"

11. Every time you accuse the wests enemies of bluffing you are admitting the west has habitually provoked them.

12. The war needs to end. The Great War needs to end ; says your King and Queen.

13. Battle of the Bulge anyone?

14. Unless they have a 10-thousand men 2nd wave and a 20-thousand men 3rd wave, this incursion will fizzle out through attrition. It is unsustainable.

15. And now REAL FACTS: 1) NOTHING has been cut off with bridge destructions – Russian pontoon bridges are already in place. 2). Russia will not fire nuclear missiles at Ukraine over a few dozen occupied villages. 3) For Russia, Donbass is as much Russia as Kursk Region, so Russia would gladly let Ukraine occupy the above-mentioned villages with troops badly needed by Ukraine in Donbass, where Russia is advancing very quickly lately. 4) Russia will NEVER negotiate with Ukraine until it removes all the enemy forces from Kursk region.

16. Civilians flee Pokrovsk as Russia’s army bears down on key Ukrainian city: Civilians with small children in their arms and lugging heavy suitcases fled from Ukraine’s eastern city of Pokrovsk on Monday, where the Russian army was bearing down fast despite a lightning Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk region. Local authorities said Russian forces were advancing so quickly that families were under orders to leave the city and other nearby towns and villages from Tuesday. Pokrovsk is one of Ukraine’s main defensive strongholds and a key logistics hub in the Donetsk region.

    Its capture would compromise Ukraine’s defensive abilities and supply routes and would bring Russia closer to its stated aim of capturing the entire Donetsk region.

    Russia’s relentless six-month slog across Ukraine’s Donetsk region following the capture of Avdeevka, the onslaught has gradually paid dividends as Ukrainian defenders have no choice but to pull back from positions blown to pieces by Russian artillery, missiles and bombs.

    Russia wants control of all parts of Donetsk and neighboring Luhansk, which together make up the Donbas industrial region.

    Officials warned last week that Russian forces were rapidly advancing and were just 10 kilometers (six miles) from the outskirts of Pokrovsk.

    Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief, said on Monday that “heavy battles” were taking place in the Pokrovsk area.

    The nearby town of Toretsk, whose capture would open the door for a Russian advance on the key stronghold of Chasiv Yar from the south, is also under heavy pressure, he said.

    Russian troops have fully liberated the town of New York in the Donetsk People’s Republic. The settlement bearing a peculiar name had been turned into a major fortress by Ukraine. Capturing New York opens a path towards Toretsk, another major Ukrainian stronghold in Donbass. Both towns have been heavily fortified by the Ukrainian military ever since hostilities broke out in the region in the wake of the 2014 Western-backed Maidan coup.

    This reckless Kursk gambit, more akin to a desperate stunt worthy of a second-rate actor than a seasoned statesman, diverts critical resources from the primary battlefield while offering negligible strategic gain. While the incursion has captured headlines and inflicted some measure of PR damage in Russia, such superficial victories do little to alter the fundamental dynamics of the conflict. Russia, despite this minor setback, remains a formidable military power with a vast arsenal and a nuclear deterrent. Ukraine still faces a daunting challenge in overcoming this overwhelming disparity. More critically, this diversion of forces from the main theater of the conflict is a huge strategic miscalculation. Every soldier, tank and piece of artillery deployed in the Russian incursion represents a loss to the Ukrainian effort to liberate their territories.

    Instead, Ukraine finds itself embroiled in a costly and ultimately futile endeavor. While the world watches in fascination, the real battle for Ukraine’s future continues to unfold elsewhere. Zelensky’s decision to gamble on a high-stakes publicity stunt is a tragic misjudgment that may have far-reaching consequences.

    To squander precious resources on a symbolic gesture is a luxury the country cannot afford.

17. It very well might. It changed the whole situation. Both sides have dug in with extensive networks of trenches in the east. Trenches are a meat gr!nder, so opening another front was brilliant. Instead of fighting for inches, they are able to fight for large swaths of territory while embarrassing a certain someone in the process.

18. We are looking at Ukraine's agony. Mr. Putin just shrugged it off and went traveling 🙂

19. Global News license corruption like the liberal government😡🤬🖕

20. Davis Donald Jones Cynthia Lopez Matthew

21. They have done this in the undefended, uncontested north twice before for propaganda purposes. Both times they were pushed out and a new front was opened in their country, losing more territory. ….. So Dumb

22. Propaganda to Solicit more Western Taxpayer Funds for Laundering

23. Viva Russia 🇷🇺 from Toronto
    I’ll not support Nazi Ukraine

24. Stop giving our money to Ukraine

25. Any loss on Ukraines side that you don't want to report on lately?😂

26. Omg you call yourself journalists. Ukraine shooting missles at another nuclear power plant in Kursk in a vain attempt to reach it and got stopped. What is the use of gaining territory in Russia when you’re loosing land in Ukraine. Those troops will be cut off and anhilated. NATO planners just made another blunder and you report it as a success

27. Seymour Hersh-Jeffery Sachs-Brian Berletic-Aaron Mate-Max Blumenthal-Einar Tangan-Martin Jacques-Lijinjing-Tian Wei… CGTN The Point-Hub-Heat, Shanghai Eye, RT International-Africa Summit-SPIEF, 90%countries trading with Russia.. Reporterfy Media-Cyrus Janssen

28. If it's a bluff, send in NATO to help Ukraine hold territory.

29. Lol😂😂😂. Yeah right. The entire eastern Ukraine that was fortified for over 9 years has fallen due to this gamble, and now Russians have more excuse to demand more than the east 😂

30. It is weird watching mainstream propaganda news lie to their viewers.
    I've been 21 years removed from mainstream media. Ever since The Weapons of Mass Destruction lies in Iraq, I turned this crap off forever! Russia is fully in control here!

31. damn this is a delusional headline, west overdosing on copium 😂😂😂😂

32. From Ukraines pov it's a no brainer. If they don't call their bluff, they'll lose. If they call their bluff and get nuked, they lose. If they call their bluff and they're right: they can survive.

33. When will WWII end? Is it still continuing? Whats going on overthere?

34. Western lies doesn't save Nazis 🇺🇦Ukraine 😂😂😂😂😂

35. So if the Ukrainians are advancing why do they want to create “buffer zone” and why did they blow up the bridges? What are the casualties on the Ukrainian side? This is all just lies and propaganda, Global are digging their own grave.

36. Oh it’ll change things alright

37. Censorship on YT is at an all time high. Perfectly normal conversations are being deleted.

38. Yt is so censored. Cant even find one vid on russia taking podrosk which is a fairly major town/city about to fall.

39. If the west was hoping to start ww3 the Nuclear war it could happen and they had no conscripts but beat and killed Russian Civilians they are close but 4000+ Ukros dead so far and the Ukraine offense is pulling more to fight this sad and futile attempt 450- 800 dead NATO forces from Poland and other western Nations looks bad so far as US going into this election year. Most of the fighting is done within 7-11 km and any Journalists going over the border will be prosecuted and the law. Most of the forces were not properly supplied for such an operation as most of their so called bases are in the Sumy Region. Many units orders was to cause chaos by shooting at civilians and infrastructure and was a violation of the Geneva and a war crime intel caught on Western Sheep Dipped Forces acting as Pirates. What is most funny the lot of you guys are days late with your propaganda news.

40. Crap

41. Pathetically stupid war.

42. where is the part where they say ukraine is slowly losing the war?

43. Ukraine's establishment of a buffer zone on Russian soil has opened the door for countries bordering Russia to establish a buffer zone on Russian soil, in case of Russian invasion. Over time, economic, financial, scientific and technological sanctions against Russia will gradually weaken the Russian military and Russia will not be able to defend its vast borders.

44. Where do they find these so called experts from dont remember these brilliant minds anywhere in my past so not intellectual stalwarts is my guessing.

45. Globull propaganda. No one wins at war except those involved in the military industrial complex.

46. Brava ukraina 👍

47. When did Canadians become the worst trolls on the internet? Eh?
