  1. By making her show her son's photo for no reason, the authorities can track the son down get his name and then find the mother now – what a dumb reporter !!!

  2. She is the mother of a soldier from a army with russian mindset….. she was the one, who missed to transfer education …..to late to cry. If she made the picture with the nice cap, she was proud tho have a Russian soldier as son. Or she believe the Russian army is always cleaning tires ? This is not the war of Putin alone…also the military stay close behind. Or who start the war ? No, sorry this is a peace mission… every dead home coming russian soldier will stop the war… I know this sounds hard. But to see dying civilian kids of the Ukraine is harder. They are not coming with tanks ….

  3. Poor Russian mothers……russian police acting like the S.A. 90 years ago……how is this possible…??

  4. Everybody blames Putin. I blame democrats

  5. It's sad to fight a war, and even more so when your enemy is forced and brainwashed to fight you.
    While in reality they are your brothers, who also wish for peace and not for a senseless battle.
    Let's not forget that war is brutal, merciless and extremly stupid. I really hope this is going to end soon.
    Only in video games, war feels fun or enjoyable to watch, while in the real world, it's horror and humanitys ugly other face.

  6. I wish Putin would become a new person with a heart full of love and respect for all living beings.

  7. The Russian people are not bad people they are lovely kind people. Putin and his war is it is affecting the Russian people and making them afraid of his their own lives. Putin is definitely a war criminal. whatever happens he will become one most hated man the wold has seen.
    Putin has done a good job on his own demise.
    A lesson learned to the world from this ! Be ready to deal with dictators before they do just what Putin is doing.

  8. cant stand the heat get outta the kitchen! go russia!!!!

  9. YOU stop the bloodshed. Oust your president Putin.

  10. If enough Russian mothers said what this lady has said then Putler's senseless and murderous war in Ukraine would stop and we would have a normal human being like Kasparov running a peaceful and prosperous Russia making the world a safer place, instead we have police-state Putinland aka North Korea threatening civilisation with nukes.

  12. Unprovoked Attack.. Anti Tank Guided Missiles, Mid Range Anti Aircraft Missile Systems and Combat Drones.. ASEAN high alert..✌️😊✌️🇻🇳🇲🇲🇰🇭🇱🇦🇹🇭🇸🇬🇵🇭🇧🇳🇲🇾🇮🇩

  13. come out n fight russians, dont b scared abt putin, soon he ll rip

  14. 🇷🇺 : it will take over 2 million citizens on
    the streets of Moscow to over throw
    Putin and his Regime. A. N. can help

  15. Her son should be at home playing Call of Duty, not doing the real thing for no purpose other than to create needless human misery and be subject to the whims of a dictator. I cannot imagine what she must be going through. 😔

  16. I pray for you and your son. However, make no mistake I hate your president.

  17. She would have been very proud of him if the Special Military Operation had lasted only a few days.

    Those mass graves full of women and kids in Ukraine didn't appear by magic.
    They were caused by sons of Russian mothers , like the one in this video.

  18. thank goodness the Russian people are starting to know the truth! The next step for them is to stop the Murderer PUTIN and dispose of him for good or many more Russian Sons will die 😢🙏

  19. look putin, this is all your fault, leave the ukranian people in peace, stop the war you are evil

  20. Russian people, Russian women, Russian mothers… Say NO to War, and start a movement to get rid of your senseless President Putin, he doesn't care about your children, you giving him a young man 22, years old to go to invade Ucrania for nothing, for only to get killed!!!!… Mothers protest, and protest against your Dictador, he is not giving you guys any freedom, and democracy!!!!!!

  21. Poor people in russia I'm glad I wasn't born a russian.

  22. Oh man why did she show his pic. Now they might turn on him. Just for the news to have a story

  23. Russians don't like the war, only Putin wants to destroy unprovoked Ukrainian.

  24. They need to get captured by the Ukraine or surrender peacefullly so he won’t have to fight god bless them all everyone around the world

  25. Sad thing he's probably dead now

  26. Shouldn’t she have worried, when Russia invaded Syria, Georgia, and Crimea, why worry now?

  27. Here we go again. With the news playing on our emotions instead of reporting the damm news on BOTH sides.

  28. Are you not putting that man in harms way???

  29. Oh yeah, Putin/Rasputin fiddling & looting, screaming & hooting, wining & losing & losing, dyeing, lying, abiding & spitting, regretting & betting, fearing, spearing, tearing & steering, with the lives of children, in his satanic-caldron, waiting for the blood-booty reward for his satanic duty, human-child-sacrificing, laming, maiming & degrading. Truly the wickedest and most hated man on earth in any and all turf and underneath the depths of the earth, where His Master Thrives, gluttonizes and preys on the young, helpless, weak and innocents in the Heart of Life. In his bitter end Putin/Rasputin will be the worlds most prime example of wickedness and the most infidelities' of the worst kinds, no less than Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Vlad the Impaler, Pol Pot, Heinrich Himmler, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin and Ivan the Terrible (1530-1584).

  30. Sounds like ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ chance of kick Putin's azzz kick Putin's azz chick Putin's azzzzz ❗❗❗

  31. Why put her in danger of arrest you fools.

  32. That… That cuts deep.. and I thank her I guess I didn't think about it
