  5. Okay. Let him stay there. If anything happen to him then itโ€™s on him and his family

  6. Never get attached to personal possessions. They own you! U dont own it. When putin said dont touch my resources. I will knock your teeth out. If i owned house. Their. I would have put on market cheap for immediate sale. Leave start fresh.

  10. Russia๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ

  11. Let's hope nothing happens. ๐Ÿคž

  12. Heโ€™ll just buy a plane ticket ๐Ÿ˜‚ As if Russia isnโ€™t going to secure the borders in an invasion

  15. WHOS GOING TO SHOOT FIRST

  16. No rescues. It's like the holdouts during a hurricane asking for help when things get bad.

  17. Riddle me this. What does a man with alot of power and alot of money want?
    More power and more money

  18. I've been living in Ukraine for several years now and I don't plan on leaving. It's really a wonderful country that often gets misrepresented in the mainstream media. I have a home and family and friends who live here (and a pet dog and cats), and there's no way that I could live with myself if I abandoned them. If Ukraine gets attacked, I will do everything I can to help (because that's what you do if you care about a place). On the other hand, if Russia starts carpet bombing cities, I might reconsider. Honestly, I've never been in such a situation, so obviously I don't know how I would react. Who could? But we are a long way from that right now.

  19. Aaron's great. I've known him and his family since 1982. He exemplifies the good will and promise of Ukraine being roughed up and dirtied by Russian/Putin's paranoia, imperialism and bullying. Ukraine is perhaps what Russia might be like had Putin not grabbed power all these years.

  20. Manufacturing consent from the American people with disinformation.

  21. NATO rainbow ๐ŸŒˆ army get ready to be slaughtered by Orthodox army of Christ

  22. That's not a guy but a Shelia dressed as a guy

  23. Stalin and Hitler created world war 2 the Molotov pact to devide Europe….God made them turn on each other Hitler destroyed Russia…..Russia begged US for help…Russia genocided Ukraine 7 million in the Holodomor…1932 33

  24. Your video s notification no need us.

  25. Ukraine should make it manatory that ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ leave Ukraine NOW because ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ has already begged it's citizens to come ๐Ÿก. Reality is about to happen REAL time soon. ๐Ÿƒ

  26. The tensions between Ukraine and Russia are escalating out of control. Last night at my Knights of Columbus meeting, one of my brother Knights said that he was deeply concerned about the tensions between the two countries. I understood what he was saying and I remember what Our Lady of Fatima said on May 13th 1917,
    โ€œSay the Rosary every day, to obtain peace for the world.โ€ And thatโ€™s what I intend to do for today. And I also created my own rosary prayer decade. It goes as follows,
    โ€œImmaculate Heart of Mary, give peace to the world and convert America, Russia and Ukraine.โ€ This is what I take very seriously.

  27. remember if World War 3 happens in future then it will be definitely Asia Vs Europe (Russia + China + India Vs Europe). So then Europe and Nato don't think you are too much boss… please

  28. Should find out where pathatic putins 100 million yacht is docked and nato can blow the hell out of it so it will be woth very little. In the end this dispicable drug dealing criminal might end up with a huge disposable bill for the shot up piece of crap. Seize all his assetts before you hang this war criminal.

  29. there are much much better countries to live in Central and Eastern Europe than Ukraine, …Romania and Georgia are by far much better than Ukraine is, but the best is Poland and Hungary and Czech and the cost is the same.

  30. in the last four years Kiev has become much more expensive than you think just because a beer is $2.00 dollars at some loser dumpy bar doesn't mean you can eat at a nice restaurant for cheap money and if you want to go to a nice bar or club and buy a drink expect $10.00 + for that cocktail.
