Another American has been killed in Ukraine, State Dept. confirms



Stephen Zabielski, 52, was fighting in Ukraine when he died in May, according to a local newspaper obituary. The State Department confirmed he died in Ukraine, but could not speak to the specifics of his death. After Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov’s comments to NBC News about two captured Americans, the National Security Council’s John Kirby said it’s “appalling” that a Russian public official would even suggest the death penalty.

  1. That hour no us a bell end

  2. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

  3. America mercenary dying for Zelensky's crimes..He sold himself cheaply..😆

  4. Why should we care about Ukraine? Ukraine exemplifies the fight for freedom-as well as peace. They are adaptive, creative, and caring–the embodiment of freedom and grit over oppression, tyranny and global aggression. The world is in their debt for their heroic efforts. We should be helping them as much as possible. Standing idly by will have devastating consequences to human civilization for decades to come – if not centuries.

    If not now, when?

  5. They deserved nothing but death.

  6. Good thing ppls fight for the Russia Ukraine border and not their own southern border where tonnes of drugs flowing in every day killing their own population.

  8. US: BOOOOOM !! BOOOOOM !! BOOOOOM !! China: Build !! Build !! Build !!

    America bombs, China builds! China builds 1,000 schools in Iraq

    06-18 "China's construction of thousands of schools in Iraq" by the Iraqi Shafaq News Agency has attracted the attention of foreign netizens. According to a report published on the 18th, the foundation stone laying ceremony was held on the same day for the education project of China-aided construction of 1,000 schools in Iraq. Many foreign netizens expressed the emotion of "American bombing, China building", and some people said that "in the great power competition, China is competing at a level that the United States will never understand".

    On "World Refugee Day", some netizens also specially sent a meme picture of "China and the United States are very different in Iraq" to the US Secretary of State Blinken, who boasted that the United States has greatly helped refugees, and ridiculed him: "China's government in Iraq 1,000 schools, the United States directly killed 16,000 civilians in Iraq. This is how China and the United States 'practice human rights' in Iraq."

    According to statistics released by NGOs in April 2022, since the outbreak of the Iraq War, the number of Iraqi civilians killed by the war may exceed 209,000. If military, police and other public officials are added, the total death toll far exceeds this figure.

  25. А что вы хотели? – Приехали воевать – ожидайте, что убьют. Приехали наёмничать – будьте готовы отвечать по законам которые действуют на этой территории. Поймали за преступление, которое предполагает смертную казнь – готовьтесь к смертной казни. Кто вам сказал что гражданство сша даёт какой-то иммунитет? вы подчиняетесь тем законам – которые действуют на той территории на которой вы находитесь. так за наркотики в арабских странах – смерть, в азии – смерть. чем вы американцы лучше других людей? поймите – что вы не отдельная каста или люди другого сорта – вы такие же как и все остальные. смерть – значит смерть (про наказание). и не защищайте с экранов новостей своих сограждан – они преступники – убийцы и насильники – и если они заработали такое наказание – значит объясняйте остальным гражданам своей страны и других стран – что ехать воевать в виде наёмников – нельзя – за это преступление идёт соответствующее наказание.

  41. Typical American always nosy always being in somebody else's business he would be alive today if he minded his own business here in America

  42. STOP fighting wars that ONLY serve to make the oligarchs richer. Look at America…it’s waning in power, wealth, and influence. The only thing holding back China and Russia is America’s bloated military spending. America has failed to invest long term in its future. Wall Street and Congress in collaboration with corporations have stolen the wealth of American workers. The greatest enemy is within the borders of the US. Stop joining the military and force the oligarchs to share the wealth.

  43. One more, we hope he isn't last one
