  1. Who fired the shot downing the F-16..Ukrainian or Russian..? There's a great possibility the Ukrainian shot their own jet fighter.

  2. I wise you will you will just gets lost take your wife who is spreading uk taxpayers money enjoying her self shopping in Italy everyday and your trying to start ww3 your just muppet for the west ask the people Europe what they think off you

  3. Patriots are dangerous to Ukrainians in Ukrainian hands first they fired all the missiles in the 1st Patriot system in 30 mins over the airport with debris hitting civilians, then they managed to hit a school now they're shooting down their own planes and it's the head of the Air Force he blames. 👀

  4. Youtube comments section is full of Ukrainian Keyboard Generals.
    Fortunately:
    President Zalensky says "Your Fired!" 😆
