  2. Every night now for the past three days, Russia has used larger and larger number of washing machines. Last night, the largest number of Kinzhal hypersonic washing machines fired since the start of the war. Of course Ukraine will tell BBC "we shot them all down" and that massive fire on the Kyiv horizon is a burning toy factory, and BBC will dutifully report it as such…

  3. Why are these western media more concerned about intercepting misiles …while saying debris caused damage
    …this obsession of Dowgrading Russia is a myth 😮

  4. We need to stop this unjust war and tell putin to back off and stick to solving poisonous issues within his boarders, not spread those issues to other democractic and proposering nations.

  7. 260,000 residents of Kiev now have no electricity. But according to the Ukrainian regime: "Every missile and drone has been shot down." 🤣😂🤣

  11. The Dagger missile cannot be destroyed. There is no confirmation of the interception of this missile. These missiles are shot down only by the target.

  14. The demographics – population decline – are going to be horrible for both countries. Already bad, especially for Russia, but WHEN this thing gets really out of control, it's going to look like auto-genocide.

    Somebody shouldn't have listened to Boris Johnson, serf to Victoria N.

  16. Why did Ukraine move their new years to January 2? Those fireworks were AWESOME! The best show in the world! I know they moved their Christmas but why New Year's too? Impressive. 🎉

  22. Wow, the gun from North Korea is better than the patriot system. Probably the whole point is that in these hypersonic washing machines there are chips from shovels.

  23. You showed apartment buildings. Buildings shook. What were the missile targets and where did the missiles hit?

  25. Zelesnky thought he could use cluster bombs with impunity. These vile weapons are banned by most civilized nations but the US gave them to the Ukraine to use on Russia. The Biden Regime is evil.

  27. " President Putin branded the warmongering socialist Western colonial powers as the real enemies of Russia in his declaration yesterday: “Ukraine is a mere tool in the hands of the collective West which is using it to fight Russia…The point is not that they are helping our enemy, but that they are our enemy…They are solving their own problems with Ukraine’s hands, that’s what it’s all about…Despite the fact that from time immemorial the West has had such a goal – to deal with Russia, it looks like we will deal with them first…Those who only yesterday were talking about the need to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia are now looking for words on how to quickly end the conflict”.

    While the socialist Western colonial powers frantically search for an end game to the proxy war they ignited against Russia, this report notes, President Putin warned about the Ukrainian Nazi Regime targeting innocent Russian civilians: “Not a single such crime, and this is certainly a crime against the civilian population, will be left unpunished, there can be no doubt about that…We are capable of carpet-bombing Kiev and any other Ukrainian city…Instead, Russia will continue targeting Ukrainian military assets and infrastructure”— "

  28. Haha! Where are the SENILE PATRIOT SYSTEMS? Are they stumbling in Kyiv like their Washington master in the White House?

  30. The Republican party is purposely sacrificing the lives of Uranian civilians by hijacking American Democracy to force their disillusioned southern border demands before they free up aid which is supported by the majority of Americans.

  31. Please stop pretending that the war is between Russia and Ukraine. The war is between US/NATO and Russia on Ukrainian territory. If Ukrainians proved to be so dim as to let themselves be used in US proxy war, it's their problem. US Senator Richard Black: "The decision for war was made in US…" Keith Kellogg, a former US general and advisor to VP Mike Pence, in his congressional testimony, called "acme of professionalism" to use Ukraine to fight Russia because it "takes a strategic adversary off the table without using any US troops".
    Today, the United States allowed the Ukrainian Armed Forces to launch long-range strikes from the HIMARS MLRS. The Ukrainian Armed Forces can now independently choose the range of strikes using the American HIMARS MLRS, said US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink. The Pentagon will supply the Ukrainians with shells for firing at distances of over 160 kilometers. Although recent events confirm that this ammunition may already be in the hands of the Ukronazis.

  35. Zelensky (as usual) boasts about the missiles shot down by Ukraine Air Defence, but is silent on the missiles that hit the targets. Then he thunders retaliation 😂🤣

  36. NO mention of the cluster bomb attack BY Ukraine on civilians and 24 deaths in Russia which results now in this attack?! Typical mainstream media, leave out key info and focus only on what they want.

  40. It's a proxy war and Europe and the US are going bankrupt trying to arm Ukraine. Biden has to do what Zelensky tells him because he is compromised.
