  1. Why negotiated over ruins now,when it was possible to do it over buildings ports houses schools hospitals
    That’s what happened when you believed in Hollywood movies
    The underdog will win at the end
    Oh l forget his comedian

  2. Said two months ago after initial Ukrainian tactical victories and before the Russian advance that Zelenskyy should concede to terms or Ukraine would get destroyed. That's what's taking place now with Russian scorched earth shelling. Putin and Russia have been clear from the start they won't accept NATO bordering. There was no threat to a nuclear Russia but what was difficult to negotiate? Now Russian forces have advanced making the conflict more complicated to negotiate a diplomatic solution. Admire the courage of the Ukrainian resistance fighters but at what cost to Ukraine..

  3. Russia never wanted land locked Kyiv, Russia wanted to draw Ukraine forces away from the Donbas and the ports. STop lying MSNBC

  4. It seems that Ukraine will lose more lands to Russia when the war ends. I don't see the other alternative.

  5. Lloyd Austin told him he wud defeat Russia. Zelensky arrogantly said he would defeat Russia outrightly. Now Russia is showing Ukraine REAL WAR and they are screaming CRUELTY as if WAR is a BIRTHDAY PARTY

  6. Talking with Zelensky is a waste of time.

  7. no contacts with russia, no business, russia is a country of bandits, thieves and alcoholics !!!

  8. Russians agreed to pull out of kiev region during negotiations. Zelensky was Pressured by Boris Johnson and US to shun negotiations. They promised money and weapons to secure victory. Zelensky started saying he would negotiations with only putin and Russian troops must leave donbass and crimea before any negotiations. He knows that wud be impossible. The Russians are pounding Ukraine now and he is begging. NO NEGOTIATIONS. HE should wait for the US to use his country as a geopolitical project and destroy it totally.

  9. In addition to the topic: France and Germany supports Putin's bandit state, which is waging war. And what Germany is doing is a threat to the world, because Germany acts as a kind of political, economic guarantor of what Putin is doing.

  10. Why did Ukraine think it would win? The only way they'll end this war is by not attempting to join warmongering NATO allies.

  11. Terrible our deep state promoted all this destruction.

  12. NEVER SURRENDER TO FASCISTS.

  13. Russia invaded Ukraine with the reasons of the Nazis, and the CCP invaded Taiwan with the reasons of Japanese militarism. Regarding the expansion and aggression of the CCP, because of the network wall, the CCP has instilled that foreign countries are enemies from a young age, and hates democracy in Europe, America, Japan and Taiwan. The country, using its internal propaganda to promote nationalism, made many Chinese people do not know the truth and made them go to the battlefield as cannon fodder. Want to spark humanitarianism. Therefore, in the event of a war, tactical nuclear weapons must be used to directly wipe out the top leaders of the leadership, and the same must be true for Russia, so as to truly liberate the good people of China and Russia. And now Kissinger or Soros in the West, as well as some officials of the Democratic Party, are only anti-Xi Jinping rather than anti-Communist for their benefit, and they want to continue appeasement and make money. It is still a collusion with the CCP's Jiang Zemin, Wang Qishan and other CCPs. Things always have to be faced, not evaded. If the Communist Party is not destroyed, there will still be evil countries like North Korea, China, Iran, and other evil countries threatening the world.

  14. Zelensky on one hand wants NATO to provide military support and the other hand to offer talks with Putin when he's doom. Such a clown and a coward. God bless Russia with glory.

  15. Peace should of been made long ago this is insane how so many people support war and murder…

  16. Pointless war…..oh ya let’s destroy everything…makes sense

  17. I thought Russia was losing? Shows how the media is a biased manipulater

  18. On one hand, Vladimir Putin is a very prideful man. It would be extremely difficult emotionally for him to withdraw entirely from Ukraine. He does not value human life, even that of his own people, and so regardless of how many Russian soldiers die, he can draft or hire more. On the other hand, Ukraine does not have the manpower to push the Russians out of Ukraine entirely. Given all this, Zelenskyy faces a dilemma. He has to negotiate. How much territory is he willing to pay for in Ukrainian blood? How much territory does Putin believe he (Putin) can conquer? I am glad I am not in Zelenskyy’ shoes.

  19. In February, I admire this president for not leaving his people even though western countries were encouraging him to leave. Then as weeks goes by, I lost those admiration when he wants us to enforce no fly zone, probably the first time I sided with Biden when he did not enforce the no fly zone in Ukraine. Then, Zelenskyy started to be demanding like the world must follow his demands or else. I’m not pro-Russia. I’m just expressing a frustration. We and US allies have been aiding them accepting refugee, etc. But it seems like this man, Zelenskyy never appreciate to the aid we sent to them.

  20. Imagine how futuristic it will be when they rebuild they will probably be able to turn on the water in their sinks and set it to whatever temperature they want or their country will be nicer than america

  21. Who gets to bid on all the new construction contracts in the ukraine

  22. Stop taking americans first smendment rights away we are afraid no slavery for woman or anyone

  23. You can talk as much as you want. BUT ! NO EVEN INCH OF UKRAINIAN LAND WILL BE GIVEN TO russia

  24. I had a dream last night that if Vladimir Putin doesn't marry Mary the family trees of the 12 Tribes of Judah will be taken down. The only problem is that Mary lives in the United States. That means America needs to get along with Russia. ❤️🙏 Now!
    Jeremiah 36:2
    “Take a scroll and write on it all the words which I have spoken to you concerning Israel and concerning Judah, and concerning all the nations, from the day I first spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.

  25. Zelensky does not want peace.

  26. Americans reporters are terrible. Listening to French reporters, there is big difference, French reporters are very intelligents, knowledgeable and their analysises are clear, well detailed.

  27. NATO is disgusting. How can they sit back and watch this slaughter? Get them the MIGs and other weaponry they've requested ASAP. Once Russia consolidates their advances Kiev will be next.

  28. No need for talks now ,,, take it all or take nothing
    Go Russia I understand the threat

  29. Zelensky is always changing in his statements in the media, indicating that he is panicking,, in contrast to Putin, who is calm in the media, remains consistent in his statements and can give directions to his subordinates. Zelensky is not like the president, he is like an actor.

  30. Israel told Zielinskyy stop sending America’s foreign aid we can no longer hide it for you

  31. Full of lies crap news reporting

  32. Ukrainians intoxicated with the prospect of sovereignty and democracy tighten the snare on their own demise.

    Democracy is based on a grain of truth sufficient to evoke the intended emotional reaction. For example, citizens will vote to place a halt to the use of land for housing in order to secure the future for their children. At the same time barriers that are virtually impossible to overcome are erected through local regulations. Housing ends up in short supply causing home prices to skyrocket beyond reach, rents are at maximum levels that exceed the incomes of the bottom twenty percent and continually climbs upwards. Thousands of homeless in each city. Citizens voted for a situation that no dictator could get away with? There are likely few, if any, barriers to building a home in Russia. Democracy and dictatorship have exchanged places in the equation.

    In order to realize what path Ukrainians are taking that country should be compared to Canada that has a similar sized population with sizable territory and similar resources and not compared to the USA. The little con man knows where he is coming from and where he is headed. Ukrainians do not. The nation comprised of tenants will enjoy sovereignty, but will not be populated by its native people, as the country as a whole functions as an income generating enterprise exacted through rent that is concentrated into a few hands with tenancies replenished through massive immigration from a world wide pool. This has been referred to as the great replacement, a process that has progressed to an advanced stage in Canada.

    Truckers in Canada were protesting needless regulations that were hampering their ability to continue earning a living. Life on the street beckoned. Their reward for a life of hard work. This follows a similar fate experienced by forestry workers during earlier years that were shifted to hospitality. Persons that used their windfall gains from home equity to start restaurants and similar businesses lost it all due to covid regulations and are now desperate.

    Democracy is a process of voting in order to implement conditions that facilitate the transfer of land away from citizens to the chosen few.

    In order for Ukrainians to realize their vision of a land for themselves they should join up with mother Russia of which that region is an integral, ancestral, part.

  33. DONT TALK GO UNTIL CLAIM BORDERS ALL, TOO LATE TALKS PAYING BACK 10MILLION HEADS KREMLIN.

  34. Putin doesn't understand any language other than the language of weapons and screams of his victims. You can't negotiate with him.

  35. Another fake war. Like ww1 and 2. All the while making trillions in oil and drugs and vaccination and trying to colonize mars. World class idiots aren't they?

  36. I mean atleast don't ask a reporter who is in kyiv what will he know a out situation in Donbas either send him to Donbas or get another reporter who is in Donbas to report.

  37. Surrender. Cowards .. Have some dignity.

  38. Unfortunately Zelensky refuse to see.

  39. How does the world just sits back & watch these atrocities. Shame on all countries.

  40. Sure they wamt it ALL plus more. Do not negotiate with Russia STOP them! Putin is EVIL. EVIL should not win. STOP the genocide of Ukranians!
