  1. Itch shouldn't be speaking to our elected officials. I don't care about Ukraine. I care about 🇺🇸. Let Russia take Ukraine. It isn't our business. Let Europe take care of Europe. We have expensive college, people dieing because they can't afford medicine, crumbling bridges, etc. We need our money. USA wastes billions on Ukraine, NATO, Isreal, Europe, and Iraq.

  2. This so called Hollywood star wars comedy is a joke if Russia really wanted Ukraine they could have accomplished this in hours this like Iraq Kuwait is all a scam.another transfer of billions to the criminal underworld that rules the world

  3. Why is her name Zelenska…and his name Zelensky

  4. Pimping her out internationally now huh? Make dat money baby!

  5. More weapons will not bring about the peace or the end of this conflict.

    When Jesus Christ was on earth, he taught people to pray for God's Kingdom as it says at Matthew 6:9,10. This Kingdom is a real Government that will soon replace all the human governments as it says at Daniel 2:44

    Jehovah God will end all the suffering, pain, and death as it says at Revelation 21:3,4

  6. 2003年3月20日にイラク戦争が開始されてから10年がたつが未だこの戦争の過ちについて十分な総括が国際的になされていない。

    イラク戦争は、国連安保理の許可を得ない武力行使であり、明らかに国連憲章違反であったし、その理由とする「大量破壊兵器」は存在しなかった。この誤った戦争により、イラクはあまりにも壊滅的な打撃を受け、人命を奪われた。

    アメリカ、ジョンホプキンズ大学ブルームバーグ公共衛生大学院の研究では、2003年のイラク戦争の結果として約65万5千人のイラク人が死亡したと推定、WHOはイラクで2003年3月から2006年6月までに15万1千人が暴力によって死亡したと推定している。

    米軍との戦闘で命を奪われた人だけではなく、占領後の宗派間対立の激化で多くの人が死亡したわけであるが、戦争が起きなければこれだけの犠牲がなかったことは明らかである。

    しかし、これだけ人命を犠牲にしたのに、米国では誤った戦争に関する公的な謝罪や検証は全く行われていない。

    特に、私が人権の観点から許せないのは、米軍・英軍が直接かかわった人権侵害行為の責任がほとんど問われていないことだ。

    例えば、2004年4月と11月の米軍によるファルージャ総攻撃では、戦争犯罪に該当する「民間人攻撃」が行われたとされ、多数の民間人が殺害されたという。白リン弾や劣化ウラン弾等残虐兵器が民間人の居住地で、市民に対する危害を最小限に抑える手段を一切講ずることな大量に使われ、おびただしい死者が出た。

    白リン弾使用については、イタリアのドキュメンタリーでその残虐性、極めて残酷で深刻な被害が暴露されている。アメリカ軍がアブグレイブやその他の刑務所で、拷問・非人道的取り扱いに該当する身体的虐待や侮辱などの行為をイラク人拘留者に対して行ったことは多くの証拠に裏付けられている。

    こうした行為は何より戦争犯罪の可能性が高いが、きちんとした調査は行われず、ほとんど誰も責任を問われていない。訴追されるのは少数の末端の兵士だけ。意思決定に関わったトップレベルの人々、ブッシュ元大統領やラムズフェルド元国防長官、拷問を正当化した司法省、国防省関係者等の責任は全く問われていない。

    超大国が大規模かつ残虐な人権侵害をして幾多の罪もない人を殺害しても誰も責任を問われない、そのようなことでは、大国の都合でおびただしい虐殺が今後も果てしなく繰り返されるだろう。罪もない多数の犠牲者のことを考えると怒りしかない。

    イギリスにはイラク戦争検証委員会が設置され、調査が続いてきたが、未だに最終報告は出されておらず、検証は長引いている。アメリカに至っては全く検証・独立調査委員会設置の機運すらない。

    米国連邦不法行為法は、海外で行われた不法行為、戦争行為で生じた被害については国家の賠償責任を免除するという規定を置いており、米国は海外で行った戦争行為によりいかなる被害を個人に生じさせても

  7. Who cares what congress thinks , how about US citizens that are against wasting US taxpayer $ on a lost cause…I see a big shift in support as Ukraine constantly insists we must send more weapons…enough is enough …we can send our moral support.

  8. Ukraine must be prepared to fall back. Russian forces are too strong, and they have the resources to conquer.

    Take no time to collect your belongings.
    Please, go.

    You cannot survive against a force with its own source of power

    Please, Don’t turn your families, your children, yourselves, as ones who love their land and their possessions, more than each other

    A dragon fights a beast from the sea. And while the dragon may be surprised that it’s creation fights against it. Neither are prepared to stop fighting.

    It is like children who grew up to love one android and one cyborg. One who gained their appreciation of life through the birds in the sky. And the other learned through the friends he traveled with on the sea. Yet because the children were raised to love both characters, when they fight each other, that appreciation of life is forgotten. The children themselves are destroyed, as well as the characters that fought each other. Then know that no matter who is declared a winner in this conflict, nothing survives. Please go.

    But this war leads to exhaustion, so while there is time, please flee.

    But don’t believe your fleeing to another country alone is the source of where to go.

    Again you will travel miles upon miles, and once you reach your final destination. Only a passing thought will cross your mind, because of where your heart is. ‘Wasn’t there a child with me?’

    Jesus has warns plainly. Go to him.

    Again as these things are written. Ukraine receives support now, because it is the more violent voice, claiming truth. But other violent voices will come, as they already have, On both sides of this conflict and other conflicts, and nations, kingdoms and people will join in conflict on the same principle. ‘You can’t take that from them’. ‘Our side will receive more wealth from this conflict’

    But war will continue. More loss and scarcity will come. Occupation will return, like that of the holocaust, but worst.

    Who then is willing to survive by fleeing towards the love of Jesus Christ. That has hope without the need to hear it or see it, but trust. With gentleness their needs are met.

    Know this,
    If the supply chains, famines, diseases did not take away possessions; people would be less prone to hate eachother now;

    From George Floyd, to Donald Trump, to Vladimir Putin, to one set of people, to one set of races, to one country from another.

    Then know that no one will survive this conflict, without the choice to let go of possessions.

    Matthew 24

    Again this conflict can be compared to a stunt man. Who uses all science and logic, to attempt a feet more dangerous than many before it. Wherein they say ‘ I have history, a team, and a strong will, I will make this feet. But even the smallest miscalculation will destroy all these justifications, along with the stunt man.

    So when you use all the reasons to go to war, with these same justifications, no that you will also have the slightest miscalculation that will destroy you. Because your possessions are the one thing you hold that will prevent your surviva.

    Or what do you expect to see if you go into a WWE fight. Do you say to yourself, this is not a real fight, but my desire for it to be real, will strengthen my resolve. Yet now you crave violence because your love supported a concept of disbelief.

    And what will the studio do in order to strengthen your hope for the disbelief. Are you not accustomed to the camera pointed at two women, who are angry at one another. And you say ‘I hope this is staged so this can go forward. Or you say, ‘I hope this is not staged in order to get more of my desires fulfilled.

    Then know that, all kinds of false promises will be used to justify this war, and those that will come after it. And they will continue to get closer to the truth in order to justify the reason for fighting, to nations. So flee. From these battles and these principles. They do not approach the truth as a friend.

    For when you see these types of fights, the setting is likely placed in a night time setting. But a light brighter than the sun and stars is coming. And again is already here, reaching out to save those who will listen.

    Many are searching for death right now,
    What’s worth living for
    What’s worth dying for.
    Wait a little longer
    Their are many popular beliefs right now

    For Race
    For country
    For history
    For money

    But don’t ask for the fallen mountains to kill you because you’ve lost hope. The ones that say ‘ fight and die for your country’. Those who’ve become beasts. Flee to the ones that haven’t fallen, and when the time comes, you will see plainly what to die for.

    Do not live, for the life you expect to live here after you’ve fled. Many will work expecting to receive the lives they once had. And when these things fail, those will say ‘it would have been better if I had died then.

    But wait a little longer.

    Many are searching for the right way to live.
    ‘For my family, so others must die
    For my country so others must die
    For my pride so I will pressure those who can kill me, because one way or another I will live, and they are dead.’

    But stay awake. Where you flee, let it be a place that will take you in. And do not close your eyes to what you don’t have. And when the time comes, and you’ve worked knowing that much will not return, that your children are at a place without conflict, prepared to give the right messages for all men women and children to hear, including enemies: You will know life, even when others say you are dead. And if violence comes against you and yours. Your lives will not end.

    But Not alll men women and children in a family will accept this. So when violence comes against you because of them, hold on to these words. Because that is the thing worth leaving behind, a chance for them to live where you will go.

    Beware the spirit of the frog. Because it is here, and it is spreading. Forgiveness, mercy, the right definition of love and hate. Many close their eyes ears hearts and soul to these principles.

    The final war is upon the world, which is called Armageddon. Jesus is coming soon, to collect those who are ready.

    Anyone may receive his words freely without cost.

  9. The entire civilized world is obliged to help Ukraine in its fight against the monster of fascism – Putin's Russia! The world is obliged to destroy the evil empire so that goodness, democracy, and peace will triumph again!

  10. Crush the Azov Nazis! 🇺🇦☠️👎

  11. Hi you people on this chat, show no sympathy at all to the Ukrainian people

  12. Looks like a sick beggar.
    I wouldn't be surprised if they sell Ukrainian children to the Bidens/ US govt elite paedophiles.

    This conflict is diss af and Americans do not owe these people a dxmn thing.

    Why is our money and govt not being used to focus on resolving our internal crises?
    Govt Collapse.
    Public corruption.

  13. Can I address congress? I'm Ukrainian too. More Ukrainian than her or her husband.

  14. Why are people fighting in Ukraine when Putin is in Russia? RAISE PUTIN BOUNTY & STOP THE WAR.

    Why do Americans shoot 44 other Americans each day? PUT THE GUNS DOWN.

    Why hasn't Trump been charged with treason yet? JAIL TRUMP.

    Why do Americans ignore 1,049,927 Covid deaths? WEAR MASKS & VACCINATE.

  15. Many thanks to people of #US 🇺🇸 for your love and support for Ukraine 🇺🇦👍 Thanks for the truth and call for action from the First Lady, Olena Zelenska, adressed to the U.S. #Congress. It is now important for every Ukrainian to feel and being supported. #Ukraine really needs much more, up to ten times that got as of now, heavy weapons and ammunition / missiles to carry out precise strikes on logistics warehouses and control centers of the terrorist group "Armed Forces of the Russian Federation". Also we can not understand why Financial Action Task Force (#FATF) still hasn't recognized #russia as a state sponsoring #terrorism, which is targeting civilians in their missile attacks.

  16. Most theses ppl don’t like Ukraine there just using this to hate Russia

  17. at this point we're working for the UKRAINIAN government with all the money we gave them, ! and she's coming for more

  18. she came personally to beg for more Americans money? unbelievable!

  19. Good showmanship by both husband and wife.

  20. I hope she wears a bra….so people can pay attention!

  21. Did she bring her knee pads?

  22. Sends his gold digger wife to beg for more billions

  23. Why? Is the Ukraine running America? I demand a cognitive test from Joey.

  24. War criminal Zelensky. No Ukraine in EU

  25. Ukraine will never win militarily, Russia is taking territory everyday. If the political class of Ukraine truly cares and want's to end this bloodshed as those in the east Ukraine do after 8 years of shelling; Zelensky must broker a negotiated deal. My govt in the US is just adding weapons to the issue, I think Macron in France would be a good mediator. I might be wrong but I could see him sitting Putin and Zelensky down.

  26. Don’t care about Ukraine the Biden crimes that took place in Ukraine matters . Money laundering, human sex trafficking, pay to play

  28. July 20, high-precision weapons of the Russian Aerospace Forces have destroyed U.S.-made Harpoon missile launcher near Usatovo, Odessa Region. The Russian military has already destroyed some of Ukraine’s newly acquired Harpoon missiles and launchers. On July 8, a pinpoint missile strike on Odessa wiped out two Harpoon missile launchers. Later on, July 16, another missile strike on Odessa destroyed a large warehouse where Harpoon missiles were stored.

    Clashes between the AFU and Russian forces continue near Grygorivka.

    Clashes between the AFU and Russian forces continue in Verkhnokamyanske.

    Clashes between the AFU and Russian forces continue in Ivano-Darivka.

    Clashes between the AFU and Russian forces continue near Soledar.

    Russian forces claimed control of Berestove village.

    As Churchill famously opined victory is not born of glorious retreats.
