  16. It's Biden and Sunak's fault — they are the one who made Zelensky believe that he was a great war time leader like Churchill !!! can you believe that theses idiots said that ?? Anyway blood is on their hands because they are the one who are making Zelensky use his own Ukrainian people as CANNON FODDER for their own corrupt purpose of regime change in Russia.
    2024 will will be a regime change for both of these clowns.

  20. AKA…even the most gullible MSM viewers have lost interest in this piece of theatre so let's run something tragic and see if we can up the figures a touch.

  22. After the way Israel has killed so many innocents in Gaza…and the West MSM has not condemned them.. the whole "russia is a monster targetting civilians" mantra is a bit dubious

  24. Haha lol what a wheeze.. The media is evil… Epsteins peado list is coming out and the west is being stabbed to death by the doctors and engineers coming in on boats.

  27. These bad wolf Russian army, was supposed be made out of Russian drunks, flighting this superior Ukrainian army and with superior US-NATO wonder weapons. Did someone lie to us?

    How can this be? Ursula von der Leyen and the UK Ministry of Defense told us the Russians were running out or had out of missiles many months ago.

    Why not, keeping singing, the european song of " Russia is bad- and russi will lose and Ukraine is good as gold and will Win" –

    Where is the dancing queen Sanna Mirella Marin an EX-Finnish PM, could it be she is dance for Tony Blair lair?

  28. Oh wow media coverage for 1 residential building on fire with 2 reported civilian deaths… Imagine if entire neighbourhoods full of people being flattened in some other part of the world would get the same coverage.
