  1. Truly a sad statement about the Russian military. They can't even defend their own border, don't have air superiority after 3 years, and have barely made any further gains in Ukraine. All this versus a country much smaller than them, and right next to them. They could win entirely today and it would still look horrible for Russia. Ukraine is never going to surrender it's land, Putin should end this embarrassment before it ends him.

  2. So…they caught the black dragon. Excellent! Thank you for letting us know…

    So that is BOTH my birth certificate AND my social security card.

    I am so grateful for all of your hard work.

    Slava Ukraine!

  3. the truth is they need to keep pushing forward, if they just take some land and settle in, Putin will just ignore them. You dont negotiate by settling.

  4. What awaits Ukraine nobody can envy. You poked the bear in the eye one too many times. Ukraine and Israel are both being run by madmen intent on leaving no insult untried. Their future is very dim indeed. What a shame we had to see this happen to anybody even crazy Neo-Nazis. From the beginning Ukraine was attempting to betray Russia and never negotiated in good faith. I feel they have bought for themselves unrelenting pain and suffering and we will see austerity here also in the U.S.

  5. Dude, we need over 100 settlements yeah let’s take some Russian land free from communism thank you so much for your reporting and risking your life and the safety of your camera crew. Thank you.

  6. Desperate fake news from ukraine since last week 4 543 ykraine troops butchered in Kursk in a week plu 654 NMato weapons destroyed and this Kursk is turning to be another nightmare for ukraine and worse even Pokrovsk the industrial and logistical hub in Dobass is about to fall into Russian complete control while zelensky is busy with lousy PR stunts with his propaganda Nato media instead of protecting key cities like Pokrovsk and Volchansk that are about to be captured by Russia.

  7. If u go more deep .. u r more streghthed .. then will u stay there ?? Till then russia will occupy more in south of Ukraine. U can't stay there for long in russia .

  8. This proves one thing about Russia. Again . One major premise for Putins war and a propoganda tool for convincing Russians is the fear of a NATO attack on Russia . Yet he has almost no defence of Russia ? UKraine just proved this. And Prighozin proved it too. And the "threat" of Finland ? No resources there either . In reality Putin wanted to be little Peter the Great , steal a bunch of countries , build his economy and then topple the US economically. . How's that working out Vlad ?

    Trump picked the wrong side apparently

  9. Hitler & Napoleon made the same mistake. The long history of attempted invasions of Russia has always ended badly for the invaders. Overconfidence leads them in to the bear’s cave. The bear waits and then annihilates the invaders to embarrassing levels. If it looks like a trap, smells
    Like a trap, then it’s a trap
