  1. As far as I understand, west only cares about Ukraine because of their huge reserves of oil and gas. By having them on their side as a member of NATO will ultimately reduce their reliance on Russian energy and provide them with geopolitical advantage in case of future conflict with either Russia or China. And Russia knowingly cannot let this happen as it will drastically impact their economy while having western influence right near their doorstep. Unfortunately for Ukraine they are nothing more than a scrapgoat for either side. And because of this greed, it's highly unlikely that we will see an end to this war.

  2. All commentaries here didnt really help Ukrainians with anything but just talk. Just wish Ukrainians for good if you dont help.

  3. Zelensky is destroying Ukraine and Ukrainian lives by ALLOWING NATO uses Ukraine for battle ground between Russia and NATO

  4. Russia's double agent, Ze sent all fresh Ukranian brigades and tanks to Kirsk's border villages, and left the main Ukrainian front lines without any support 🤓🤓🤓🤓

  5. I thought Ukraine was winning by taking the battler to Russian territory, why is Ukraine fighting to keep pokrosk again? 😂😂😂 those NATO bots have disappeared, two weeks ago they were all over internet bragging about Ukraine lol 😂😂😂

  6. kkkkkkkkkk😅😅😅😅 the people the mida who told us Russia is loosing Russia got shortage of weapons now crying and crying. Lie lie Lie

  7. America/NATO are systematically destroying Ukraine by continuing this war. Ultimately they are now destroying NATO as they misunderstood the ramifications of provoking Russia. They have exacerbated the decline of European power and its economies and accelerated the rise of the non Western world. Immense sadness for Ukraine as they have been used but unfortunately one can see the same proxy war tactics being instigated against China.

  8. The blue and yellow flag of Ukraine flies high above Sudzha and dozens of other Russian cities, they will never be Russian again 🇺🇦

  9. Thank’s Germany for failing to allow Ukraine to use Taurus…you really know how to get on the wrong side of history — yet again…
