  1. No panic! This is not a 3 days special military disaster. Everything is going exactly according to Russia's PLAN. Ask it to any Z patriot.

  3. Russia has broken the Budapest Memorandum and betrayed Ukraine. Ukraine gave up its nukes for peace.

  5. Zelensky is crazy. Pokrovsk is in danger because of the Kursk incursion and Ukraine will have to make 2 choices before the Autumn rains, establish defensive positions or withdraw.

  6. 1:40
    DW your mathematics and attempt to explain how much Russian land, Ukraine has under its temporary control.
    " one tenth of one precent"…1:40 😂😂
    Are you trying to confuse people?

  7. This western hipocracy, will fill more graveyards in Ukraine. Time to wake up and accept the reality.

  9. Russia is like Hotel California.. You Check in but You Will never Leave..These Ukrainian Troops in Kursk are already Trapped !!!..Not a Smart Move !!!

  11. "Russia is holding Ukraine's territory and Ukraine is holding Russia's territory" is better than "Russia is holding Ukraine's territory".

  14. Poland's lost 18%, Russia 15% during the WW2.
    To put things in perspective, Ukraine might have lost half of its population from the 1990.
    It's an abdominable policy. It is off the chart calamity. The latest war is only an acceleration (or culmination, take your pick) of an ongoing process.

  17. REPOST

    As a Swede I'm so tired of the implicit Russian nuclear threats, which we had to endure during the Cold War and which now become reintroduced by Putin. Every time Putin mentions the possibility of using his nukes he keeps on digging his own grave. If Putin had been arrested he would've less possibilities to push the button, but we apparently missed that chance, didn't we ???

  18. The strangest of all victory plans, will go down in the history books as the greatest example of stupidity. I suppose if you put a comedian in charge then you can’t expect much more.

  19. What “Victory?” Ukraine is getting decimated and delusional Puppet comedian Zelensky is talking about victory? What a joke.

  22. Listen to Prof Geoffrey Sachs as he describes how the US instigated this war from before 2014. Russia said stop expanding nato east. The US neocons said fu€k off we want your natural resources and Ukraine resources.
    The US are only using Ukraine as their proxy to try and weaken Russia. They made a huge mistake because Russia is winning now, and will win this war, that is a foregone conclusion
    Russian flags will fly over Pokrost in a few weeks.

  30. a victory plan offered to western countries; how adsurd!!!!!!! it will turn out to be a defeat plan offered by russia and ukraine can accept it or to be totally destroyed; better accept it now. how the kursk offensive can support a peace plan is only people who lost their wits.

  36. Failure of western intelligence , is on display this demonstrates the notion that they do know the amount of reserves the Russians have on stanby. Most people still says Russians are only using a fraction to prosecute the SMO . Since the beginning have always said they held back forces in case NATO got involve, so why would they need to move people from

  37. Ukraine lost the war when Zelenskyy broke the first peace Deal with them. At the very first week of this conflict when Russia only asked Zelenskyy to not be part of NATO and they would take his troops out of Ukraine. If Ukraine would made the deal today Ukrainians would be home inside their land and enjoy their entire country.

  38. Many western countries are still pandering Zelensky's grand delusions about total victory against. This man has no conscience , ordering men who are too old to fight and die for his grandiose fantasies in his about defeating Russia.

  39. Russia is running out of expirienced forces at fast pace. Plus the more sophisticated gear. Work force is down because of mobilisations. This results in cuts of certain items like tyres or gasoline. All this is send to get burned in this "smo", including men and conscripts alike. The long range weapons of Ukraine can hit targets in the western parts of the RF. Western Allies of Ukraine should drop all range limitations of the missiles they gave. As soon as the "better" russians have to face similar atrocities as the ukrainian people have to endure for years now, the tune will rapidly change in moscow and st.petersburg. Rottening pipes, roads and heating systems will add to this.

  42. This war is already lost for Ukrain. If they want to survive as a country, they'll have to sacrifice part of the land. The way The West is helping them is clearly not in theirs intreat for Ukrain to win.. The only reason they're helping them is to weaken Rusia. It's a classic example of proxy war. Just think, who is gaining and earning bilions on that war?

  43. Ukraine government and Military are a big joke instead of using thr weapons to defend they choosen a wrong stance of invading Russia. It will back fire for Ukraine, Zelensky should resign and peace agreement should be signed.

  46. "The territory occupied in Kursk by Ucraine is less than 1% of the territory of Russia". Yes, you are right, the 0,0705%. Nothing.

  47. Ukraina i inne kraje w obszarze ZSRR, Federacji Rosyjskiej nie są wdzięczni i nie będę nigdy wdzięczni Rosji. Przykładowo Ukraina, Голодомор, dosłownie „zamorzenie głodem” – wywołana sztucznie przez komunistyczne władze ZSRR klęska głodu w latach 1932–1933, ilość ofiar śmiertelnych, około 7 milionów. Ale to nie tylko jedyne problemy od wielkiej Rosji i to się ciągnie i będzie ciągnąć po dziś dzień… Ludzkość jest nieszczęśliwa przez Rosję a i sami Rosjanie do szczęśliwych nie należą, to wynika z faktu ilości samobójstw i niepotrzebnych konfliktów, wojen. W Czeczeni mniej niż 1 procent popiera władze w Moskwie, to ludzie, którzy tylko udają że kochają i popierają władze Federacji Rosyjskiej, to wynika tylko z faktu pewnych korzyści i nic więcej z tego nie wynika, podobnie jest z innymi krajami w orbicie Federacji Rosyjskiej, nikt nie jest wdzięczny za nic od Włodzimierza Lenina, Józefa Stalina czy Władimira Putina. Są pewne ośrodki, które tylko udają że kochają i są wdzięczne władze z Moskwy, to wynika z faktów że albo jest terror strachu i muszą udawać że kochają władze w Moskwie albo pewne korzyści finansowe. Nikt nie jest wdzięczny że milionami ludzie z Ukrainy umierali z głodu. Dlatego właśnie Ukraina będzie w Unii Europejskiej i NATO. Ludzie tam staną się szczęśliwi :). J003

  48. Zelensky peace talk is none starter.. Russia peace talk is realistic.. Kursk will not fall just like ww2 re-watch kursk war largest battle tank in human history.. It's just 3% of kursk taken by the enemy Russia Wil not trade it but we take it back cause realistic Ukraine have no means to defend it anyways

  50. "Ukraine's Kursk incursion: A step closer to peace ?"
    Ukraine's Kursk incursion: A step closer to Zelensky's unconditional surrender.
