  1. Keep it up Russia . This war is because Zelensky opted to satisfy the needs of NATO and the West

  2. Zelensky will be satisfied with being the lord of the ashes as he retires in another country.

  3. None of this had to happen. Zelensky, Joe Biden, European Union, and Great Briton are at Falt for this war. Even the Pope condemned the war on the west. The U.S. coupe to put Zelensky in power in Ukraine is one point. Making and breaking the Minx agreement by Angela Merkel who even said it was a stalling tactic to build forces for the west's war with Russia. If Nato will pull back out of Ukraine Russian's said Thay will stop and disease and pull back. Every time there's talk of peace talk's it's the West that shut's the talk's down. The real reason for this war in my humble opinion is the U.S. money supply is based on the petrol dollar. ( A.K.A. Oil ). Thay say oil is going to stop being used so if that's the case what is the American dollar going to be based on because there's not enough gold to pay for the United States debt. 🙁 Prices are only going to go up sadly. But hay on a good note there's more U.F.O.s to be shot down. lol. It's like look over here. 😛

  4. Glory to Russia!!!!!🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪

  5. This comments section is a piece of history.

    Of how the Russian propagandists tried to distort our reality to stop us from supporting Ukraine. So many videos, posts, and comments were popping up, describing the “futility” of supporting Ukraine. We’ve been inundated with posts like “The economy is dogshit. Why are we throwing money at Ukraine?”

    “Ukraine is just as bad as Russia. Why are we supporting this war?”

    “Woooo Russia! Show those Ukrainians who’s boss! 🇷🇺”

    “Y’all have been brainwashed. Let’s not kid ourselves here. Ukraine doesn’t stand a chance. By supporting Ukraine, you’re only delaying Russia’s inevitable victory. Stop supporting Ukraine. It’s a lost cause.”

    Yesterday and the last 2 or 3 days prior (but mostly yesterday), posts like those have absolutely exploded in numbers. Yesterday, it was RARE to find ANY comment supporting Ukraine. It was almost as if I had been ripped out of this universe, and placed into an alternate reality. Just as the new offensive was unleashed, Russia also unleashed a misinformation offensive, to try and dissuade us from supporting Ukraine. That way they could take over Ukraine with minimal interference from the west.

    But they failed.

    I see way more comments and posts supporting Ukraine again, Russia suffered another embarrassing, humiliating, pathetic defeat, and everything is back to normal. (When I say “normal”, I don’t mean the war is over. I mean Russia is losing.)

    Now gaze upon these comments!!!! Revel in the fact that they have aged like milk! (Hopefully this one won’t.)

    Slava Ukraine, NATO, and all democracies across the world!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇵🇱

    (And btw, if they were selfless enough to support Turkey after the earthquake, WHILE THEIR OWN COUNTRY IS AT WAR, the very least they deserve is our full support.)

  6. Putin is a modern hitler just isn’t gassing people he’s just bombing them

  7. That dumb family should leave lol.

  8. They don’t want to leave cuz they actually wanna be under Russia (secretly). Otherwise they are stupid to be under blast zones.

  9. It sucks that America and nato won't let this end and they keep blocking peace talks, o well

  10. Thousands of Russians will die.

  11. Long overdue for Moscow to be blown off the map .

  12. 💥 Biden is releasing 26 million additional barrels of oil from our strategic petroleum reserve! Is it being sold to China like last time even as they Spy on American citizens? Also the Ohio train derailment – the chemicals being burned there, a 'Hazardous Materials Specialist' said, "We basically NUKED a town with chemicals". The U.F.O.s are a distraction.

  13. We need to send Ukrainians all possible help we got.

  14. 💪💪💪🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

  15. This video confirms none of the money sent for helping the Ukrainians aren’t actually getting to them. They are being funneled elsewhere! At least most of the money is not even used for the innocent civilians in the frontline areas. Look at how a woman who just gave birth is carried out with ?

  16. Day 356: 78 years after WWII another boring European war targeting civilians.

    46 Ukrainians are killed each day in Putin's senseless war. 44 Americans are killed each day by other Americans in no war.

    $1.7 Trillion was spent on the multiple failed F-35 fighter jets that was enough to house ALL the US homeless 29 times over.

  17. Must evacuate all people..dont use as human shields
    Stop all wars …..dont want a ww3

  18. Unfortunately Ukraine don’t have chance against Russia my time to Surrender and spare rest of the Innocent people

  19. Putin needs to be neutered once and for all. De-militarize Russia now!!

  20. The clowns still think ukraine will win

  21. Defense stocks are doing well, that is the main goal.

  22. Hopefully the Russians don’t know they are using ammo faster than the “Allies” can resupply…

  23. And yet they tell us every day Russia's losing the war what a bunch of crap

  24. Nato should've stopped interfering with peace talks and these kids wouldn't be born in the middle of a war

  25. God bless Russia 🇷🇺

  26. Lobbing missiles into cities? Russia is waging war against women and children again.

  27. well…… breakfast time! the most important thing!
