  1. Slava Ukraini ! Kremlin had created what he fears most : United Free World.

  2. One the main goal of Russian Army that invaded Ukraine on February 24 from the North ( tactical group V ), from the West ( tactical group Z) and from Crimea ( tactical group O ) was to capture a special object A in port city of Mariupol which construction started on spring !944 and was finished on 1947 as one of the Command Centers of Stavka ( headquarters of State Committee of Defense of USSR, highest authority in the country during WWII), probably in response to Hitler's headquarters in Vinnitsia ( West Ukraine) that he visited 3 times during 1942-1943. Object A was built as underground city and could withstand even direct nuclear attack. It's unclear if it was visited by Stalin, but it could be done during Korean War 1950-1953, when Stalin most of the time was spending in Black Sea resorts, not in Moscow. A+Z+O+V=AZOV, possibly codename of Russian " Special Operation in Ukraine".

  3. Sad situation,the more they fight ,the more they die.By arming the civilian population,they all became targets.All cause of stupid NATO.

  4. Worthless dark news anchor and correspondent

  5. if the west still had some balls and not pathetic sniveling snowflakes they would be supporting and supplying these legends

  6. Miracles if the supernatural πŸ™ in prayers in good angels in heaven or on earth 🌍. In direction of governments and NATO etc. Those that are with Ukraine.

  7. Prayers of direction preachers and those praying in churches.etc . For governments etc .in faith in battle in Jesus and God in mysteries in spirit and power.

  8. USA and UK should stop harassing Ukraine and stop lying about Ukraine can win this war.

    THERE IS NO WAY UKRAINE CAN WIN THIS WAR.

    The USA ego does not allow Ukraine and Russia to reach a peace agreement.

    Many Ukrainians and civilians are dying and their cities are being destroyed.

    USA and UK should stop harassing this war.

    USA and OTAN are using Zelensky like puppet just for ego and USA interests.

    Peace & Love for Ukrainians

  21. "Resistance is the catalyst to overcome adversity and death."
    Alexander Tran

  24. They make it sound like they are holed up in the mall…..They are surrounded in 10 km's of tunnels and if the Chechen's go in to get them , they will never be seen again !

  25. America will see what will happen to them after their malicious actions full of corruption and lies….

  26. I have yet to see a Hispanic reporter for abc news

  27. Russia should just send those mercenaries few cruise missiles for them to eat and drink and then move on to another target, don't let those mercenaries dogs waist your time "Zzzz uraaaaa πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ’£πŸ’₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ‘Œ

  30. if 10 percent of russians fight for ukraine,that would be a major blow to putins plan.

  31. They re not heroes they re ISIS terrorists employed by the west….they know they will never be spared.. being known all the way from Syria and Iraq….by Russians……some Britons and USA idiots….rest in hell folks you deserve it…..

  32. The Azov forces in that steel factory are wearing double lighting bolt insignia's on their Ukrainian military uniform…

  33. If Mariupol falls it's because of the cowardice leaders in the world who have no balls but wear panties

  34. Mariupol is modern Alamo . Those troops will perish however they will never be forgotten and it will become battle cry for Ukrainian forces

  35. Major blow sensing idiotic concept at this critical moment….. Ukraine will be leveled to the ground folks…..watch and see…..your propaganda is about to rot….and .be exposed to the entire world….

  36. This feels and looks more and more like the Defense of Sihang Warehouse in World War II.

  37. Why not claim it openly, it is not Ukraine-Russian war, but US vs Russia! Ukraine is not in control of its military operation. The dire risk for Ukraine now that it might go on to the last Ukrainian soldier, I'm not pro-war but Russia will not back down and the army of Ukraine is loosing its ground as their major elite forces substantially lost its numbers and new untrained recruits will fall even faster!

  38. Putin's objectives will be achieved by fire by force….
