  6. Attacking civilians because you can't hit military targets is a sure sign you are losing. The battlefield maps confirm Ukraine's front lines are collapsing. This is just more evidence.

  7. Putin does it several times every week for 2 years to ukraine, but then cries terrorist when it happens to his russia…
    Seems pretty weak, that dont show a powerfull man, that shows a small kid who cant see reality for what it is ^^

  8. Most Russians are cowards. They should stop this war but they won't go against Putin. They just drink and hope it will all go away. In any other country there would be gorilla warfare trying to oust. his government. If half of Moscow burned I wonder if they would wake up from their stupor?

  9. strikes on belgorod few hours after belgorod was used to launch missiles at Kharkiv. adn the russian are playing victims ? Putin, if you do not want to be on the receiving end of missiles strike, get out of Ukraine.

  12. Putlers macho posturing is only for domestic consumption of his own truth-starved population. No one outside Russia takes anything he says seriously.

  13. I bet it was a Russian person who did it. They have lost so many people with this useless war. This could easily have been the fathers and mothers of the cannon fodder… I don't believe anyone in America would want war with Russia.

  14. I know this is tragic, but literally yesterday Russia launched a missile strike with double the casualties on Ukraine. What do they expect? May the Russian authorities eventually choose to leave Ukraine so that there can be peace again.

  17. France needs to prepare as this war is going to kick off obviously, if you have a bunker you may live but if not ? Same here in the uk.

  22. It makes me sick Ukraine can't attack sick Russian people when sick Russians attack all of Ukraine , sorry in world war 2 UK hit Germany the same , and the same sick people are now telling Israel to stop fighting .

  23. 1 attack killed 75 russian millitary this week. Where as 130 attacks killed 35 civillians in ukraine. Bad loser springs to mind with russia. They look like a laughing stock in crimea and havr to resort to the only thing they can get away with ! Air power against a country with practically no air force. As a russia. Citizen, i am Embarrassed

  24. They should tell Putin to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
    What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
    Ukraine should increase and not reduce its military attacks in Russia.
    It's about time the Russian people see the misery this tyrant has inflicted on both countries.

  25. YOU CLAIMED KEIV WAS HIT LAST NIGHT WITH MISSILES, BUT YOU'RE STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY AND ITS BEAUTIFUL 🤣🤣🤣 YOU CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT LIES YOU TELL. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  27. У России хорошая память. Все ваши слова мы тоже запомним. Мы простили вам Наполеона, больше такой глупости мы не совершим. Карма говорите? Будет вам карма со временем! Это ваши инструктора и вооружение убивают русских людей, как и в период Великой Отечественной Войны. МЫ ЭТО ЗАПОМНИМ!!!

  28. They chose badly wrong "fragmentation ammunition" , they attacked civilians (during the day targeting civilians in the square with the Christmas tree) , not even military objectives (as usual they attacked their own citizens, and did not apologize)

    What can we expect now from some impotents . if this attack is all they can answer…then they will lose miserably
