  1. Yea right as if they while Russia military is in there.

  2. Curious how many vehicles stuck or out of fuel for Russia 🤣

  3. Speechless, this is interesting too: https://youtu.be/tjUjbdJYt2I

    It has people from inside Ukraine

  4. Russia isn't "all-the-way-in" yet but Ukraine is moaning.

  5. To bad there are no General Pattons in the White House, Congress or the Senate. 141 nations and all of them are hiding in their respective corners afraid of one Hitler one a be…jc

  6. Putin has zero credibility.

  7. The Ukrainian leader shouldn’t start this war to begin with, he is dealing with the Russians who are serious about the fright of the NATO expansionism right at their doorsteps ….

  8. Putin may still win the war. By destroying Ukrainian infrastructure, homes, and refugees, many will never return. They will be replaced by Russian colonialists who in time will overwhelm the locals, thus destroying Ukrainian culture. This formula is still being used world wide destroying cultures and people who lived there for centuries. Sad fact….PEACE 🇷🇺🤝🇺🇦

  9. As always all kind of B's and silly ideas comes from officials and media !! Russian army consists of 1 million 200 thousand soldiers ! You want to say 1 million are in the Ukraine??? Haha 🤣🤣😆😆

  10. The title is so misleading

  11. Lol Talk about false news .
    The Russian military is 2.9 million soldiers

  12. MSNBC is so deceptive. Headline reads, 100% of Russian forces are inside Ukraine. Then the talking head says, 100% of Russian forces THAT WERE ON THE BORDER is inside Ukraine. They want us to believe the entire Russian military is in Ukraine. Russia needs to go back to Russia and MSNBC needs to stop with the misinformation.

  13. Better to die with honor then live in this world.

  14. ….STEP IT UP RUSSIA….forget this measured attack….STOMP them ASAP.

  15. There is no need to advertise generosity. If you really want to help Ukraine or anyone else, just do whatever you can and let it stay in your heart knowing you have done well. The typical British Home office playing a game with Ukrainian refugees hoping to buy some time. very sad..

  16. Please stop war 😭 😔 see peaple and family of Ukraine please please

  17. Bravo.. Russia (Mr.Putin) make them alike what israel did it to palestine.

    uraa 🇷🇺

  18. 100%, over 1 million ? Hehe, propaganda.

  19. 100% ? so it's empty now in Russia let's go there

  20. Every things is in place the invaders are entering a sleeping lion dens. Kiev will be some what a battle of Baston where they are holding the line for Europe freedom. Are they standing alone to fight back for freedom for themselves and the free world ?
    You cannot turn a blind eye what happening as this will hit home if you do nothing now.

  21. Putin is trying to find a victory to keep himself in power. The longer he persist this invasion he will loose grip of his own country support when this war is prolonged.

  22. Russia has become a fly, ready to be squashed, by any of the big boys. Russia's GDP is smaller than that of Texas alone.

  23. Committing 100 percent forward mean your rear is unguarded and stretching further your logistic supply will be more vulnerable in encircledment Thus the meat Grider is awaiting them in urban warefare. Soon his tanks will get booged down and run out of gas

  24. It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment

    Hebrews 9:27 ESV

    But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 

    Romans 5:8 ESV

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 

    John 3:16 ESV

    Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 

    Acts 2:38 ESV

    Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 

    John 3:5 ESV

    For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 

    Romans 8:14 ESV

    John 3:36 ESV

    Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

    Matthew 7:13-14 ESV

    Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

    What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him

    1 Corinthians 2:9 ESV

    And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. 

    Matthew 24:14 ESV

  25. Special Russia forces surrounded from 3parts..seized ..just more blood shed….

  26. I wish they raise the white flag and save the slater… well Chechnya fighters there..save people human life….

  27. The Russian Orthodox Church needs to man up and talk Pootin down. The ROC is the only group he'll listen to.

  28. Sitting targets. The only way Russia it's going to win this war is if the West capitulates

    —there are about fifteen to twenty million able-bodied ukrainians 18 to 60. But it's bare-knuckles stingers and javelins and AR-15s against monstrously outside munitions.

    I would not put it past Vladimir Putin the bomb the entire country into Oblivion.

  29. Ukraine produces 18% of the world's sunflower seed, safflower or cottonseed oil exports; 13% of corn production; 12% of global barley exports; and 8% of wheat and meslin. In absolute figures, corn is the largest Ukrainian export market and brings in a massive $4.77 billion every year…..Ukraine has extremely rich and complementary mineral resources in high concentrations and close proximity to each other. The country has abundant reserves of coal, iron ore, natural gas, manganese, salt, oil, graphite, sulfur, kaolin, titanium, nickel, magnesium, timber, and mercury. Ukraine also has/had the 2nd largest standing army in Europe.

    And guess what? It's the poorest country in Europe 🤪 Yes, poorer than Albania! How is that possible? Simple. The governement consists of thieves only and is completely corrupt. Ukraine's leaders and governement don't give 2 cents about it's own people. Leaders have Stepan Bandera's and Hitler's framed paintings in their offices. Oppossition doesn't exist because Zelensky arrested everyone who opposed him and threw away the key. In addition, Zelensky net worth is $ 1.3 billion 😱What do you call that kind of a president then?

  30. More coming, more to perish in the battle of Ukraine. Slava Ukrainia.

  31. Люди! Вбивають наших дітей! Ваша влада боїться ! Дайте Україні зброю!

  32. Ukraine is fighting a patriotic war; NATO is fighting a proxy war, and the British are trying to start a World War by interfering, as usual, where they're not wanted. C'mon the Dunkirk Harriers!

  33. Russian invasion of Ukraine is already a "CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY!" PLEASE STOP THE WAR! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

  34. They Said Nato is Iron Clad to
    article 5…Ukranians said they Are Iron clad to their will to FIGHt against PUTIN when nobody has the will! Fight till the fight is WON

  35. Maybe the civilians want to go to russia, but the ukrainian despots dont let them go there,

  36. Really? 100% of the Russian armed forces?

  37. Remember this isn't one hundred percent of their forces this is one of her son of the forces that were lined up at the border

  38. People, governments USA, UK, Deutschland, EU countries should immediately close the sky over Ukraine. Now and immediately.

  39. Slava Ukraini 💙💙💙💛💛💛 Russia will never be able to rebuild Ukraine but Ukrainian people will rebuild their country piece by piece.

  40. From what I see, Ukraine is just being used by US to provoke Russia.

    In my opionion, the objective is not only for making Russia look bad, but to de-stabilize Europe region in general.

    From history, one way that helped US strong was when most of competitors live in unstable region. Right now Germany, France, Britain etc in Europe will suffer economic slow down due to those government will focus on the possibility Europe became warzone.

    In Asia Pasific region, China is currently disputing with Australia. The relationshipn between those 2 is not good.

    The interesting part is Malaysia's MAS Boeing MH370 heavily involved China and Australia… While Malaysia's MAS Boeing MH17 heavily involved Ukraine and Russia…. We could not know the truth behind those tragedies, but what we know the countries above were mentioned a lot.

  41. By now everyone knows what it is all about! When Nato and EU would admit that it's entirely their fault and responsibility for this mess, jail Zelenski for crimes against humanity and apologize and ask Russia to sit and discuss all the points, only then this war can be stopped! Then we – European taxpayers will rebuild Ukraine – THANK YOU VERY MUCH Mr Presidents, because we did not have anything better to do!!!

  42. So that means Japan can seize the islands Russia occupies

  43. /////// Russia must withdraw its troops from Ukraine and return Crimea and the Donbass region.
    Russia has violated the sovereignty of Ukraine.
    International peacekeepers mobilize in Ukraine to judge Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
    God has judged China for opposing sending peacekeepers to stop the genocide of Rohingya in Myanmar due to COVID-19.
    Now that Russia is under judgment, anyone who wants to use nuclear weapons must be eliminated.

    The emergence of Nazi Hitler's avatar should not happen and cause the extinction of mankind.
    It is an era where anyone can go to the country they want to live and live.
    It doesn't matter what is there and who lives there
    It is important to manage the global environment so that it is not destroyed anywhere.
    In particular, as long as there are more than 10,000 nuclear weapons,
    it is not allowed to cause territorial disputes and invade other countries by exposing them.
    That would soon lead to a nuclear war, in which all mankind would become extinct.
    How to restore peace to Ukraine
    First, we must stop bombing civilians by declaring a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
    Second, NATO should send peacekeeping forces.
    Third, large-scale nationwide peaceful demonstrations in Russia must continue.
    Fourth, the Hitler Avatar must be expelled.
    Fifth, the intensity of sanctions should be increased in proportion to time to do so.
    In order to sustain peace in Eastern Europe, the most desirable thing is to get rid of Hitler's avatars
    who tried to use nationalism to take over other countries' territories.
    It is necessary to take preemptive measures so that the human race does not become extinct by removing the nuisance of the future.

    If the Russian military does not withdraw its forces, it continues to insist on unjust conditions that infringe on the sovereignty of Ukraine.

  44. This is propaganda, go look who the Azoff battalion is, they run Ukraine, FACT
