  1. Why are these unethical, unprincipled Americans are ready to save Putin's face for him, when he is constantly threatening nuclear exchange?

    These same people would have argued that Hitler should have had a diplomatic solution handed to him.

  2. Russia is a military and super economic power that even NATO fair to engage directly. Why in this earth that the president of Ukraine felt that he could fight the bear. Which country put such false hopes and thoughts in the Mind of the president of Ukraine. RIP all the solders on both sides. Stop the war compromise and save lives.

  3. If Trump hadn't pulled his extorsion game Ukraine probably wouldn't in this mess.

  4. A Russian over excited over a small land destroyed what was built 50 yrs a corrupted fail state had lost all the weapons only resources left

  5. A Russian over excited over a small land destroyed what was built 50 yrs a corrupted fail state

  6. Nope. It can't. And it shouldn't,they should pull out and make peace and put that army near Kyiv.

  7. Drunken teenagers with no guidance slogging forward. Vodka battalions forward.

  8. I see a lot of comments of brainwashed people over here. Little do you know that Ukraine shells its own people since 2014. The Ukranian army does not care about people's lives but only about losing ground. If you really want to know what's happening over there then stop following the mainstream lies from the US and Europe. For instance start following Patrick Lancaster who is an independent journalist who interviews local people. He even lives in Ukraine.

  9. US troops are not needed in Ukraine. US missiles and military equipment are needed. The Ukrainians are tough and can do their own fighting. They need just latest military gear and training to defeat Russia. SLAVA UKRAINI…HEROYAM SLAVA !!!!

  10. I put my money on Ukraine 🇺🇦😎😤😌🤪💯🇺🇦

  11. Nigeria you are a slave and will remain a slave why what ever the white man say you say black .og

  12. The Nazis reign of terror in the Donbas region is being upended.

  13. The Ukrainians need those howitzers asap. They could have tried to get their people out of Mariupol by forcing the Russians back with artillery but they don't have enough offensive weapons. The Germans said they had 100 mobile howitzers available, then Chancellor Scholz decided to "sit on the fence". Maybe he got a phone call from Putin and got scared, who knows.

  14. 🙆Just watching fake NBC news, the Russian enemies news, The fraud Joe Biden’ news, The Democrat Party News Network, the All negative against the Russian people news, the corrupt democrat’s legal theft’s news, the electoral fraud cover-up news, the Sodom and Gomorrah way of life news.💁

  15. Russia is no where near as incompetent as the Main Stream puppets make
    them out to be. If you want to see the other side of this conflict you
    need to go to Intel Slava Z on telegraph and Patrick Lancaster who
    films from the eastern Ukraine in places like Mariupol.

  16. I have been framed by special agent Mike rodic.hes a computer guick is what his mother in law call him .in other words he's very smart with a computer .he can frame you and you won't be able to prove it .that s how smart and crooked Mike rodic is.

  17. Course they can hold them off so long as we give them the kit they need, straight away…

  18. NATO needs to incorporate Moldova, Finland, and Sweden now.

  19. It's disgraceful the the rest of the world chose to sideline & let Putin destroy Ukraine

  20. shame on Ukraine, the Ukrainian military is hiding behind civilians, shame on the Ukrainian Nazis who hid in schools and hospitals! Shame on the drug addict Zelensky!

  21. Weapons cannot end the war of force Russia back down. Can't we all just talk oeace other than weapins weapons weapons?
    Russia will do the necessary to achieve what it's wants. Please let talk peace for the sake of the innocent people.
