  1. He killed all those innocent people to provoke hatred against Russia, the future will show. Zelensky is american puppet massively paid by deep state to involve Russia in war, provocation, nasty provocation for decades… but he will not survive as long as he does not accept neutral Ukraine, if not, Russia should install missiles in Cuba, full stop…

  2. Is Putin Worser Then HITLER Yes Yes Putin Russia won't Last One Fight Against NATO Troops Very Well Trained Unless Putin Russia Has Advanced Capabilities Unlike Nothing We See Before an His Alliance's with More Man Power then we Never seen Before Ever he could take All Of Europe if Ukraine Falls πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

  3. Zelensky is big idiot he was sorrow about massacre but those Ukrainian people who are alive never apeal in media to usa and nato to give direct permanent resident to his citizen you know why? Think twice of propoganda.

  4. Well done Putin. This needed to be done.

  5. I just can't imagine the terror and such despair and sorrow those innocent people were going through in their final moments. This is Bosnia all over again. But in this day and age, it is very concerning how this has not had a line drawn under it as something never to repeat, yet here we are. There needs to be a reckoning for this. There needs to be retribution for this. There needs to be justice done for this.

  6. Big countries always get away with war crimes history has shown.

  7. Putin will only understand a strong reaction, everything else will be seen as weakness by people like him. Good luck to the people of Ukraine!

  8. Ukrainein comedian president
    Is responsible for this, who tried to forcefully weaponize innocent people and used them as human shields..
    Against well trained world renowned Russians force..

  9. The chechens and the wagner group did the same atrocities in Aleppo Syria

  10. Is there any evidence of this alleged "massacre" or are we just following the Jessie Smollett model of journalism? Never has the statement, "believe none of what you hear and half of what you see." , been more true than now.

  11. Zelensky should be the first one charged with a war crime. He poked the bear in the eye by simply refusing to keep his country neutral (and safe). Because of his error in judgement or arrogance, tens of thousands of Ukrainans and Russians lie dead on the ground. Also, now that the United States and NATO are arming Russia's enemy, we are as culpable as Zelensky, in my opinion. Thus, many more human beings are going to die…

  12. Close The Sky. WIN THIS WAR WITH YOUR SUPPORTIVE ARMY PUTINNNN

  13. Part of Putin’s speech (Feb/21/2022): β€œThere are many examples of this. First a bloody US-led NATO military operation was waged against Belgrade, without the UN Security Council’s sanction but with combat aircraft and missiles used in the heart of Europe. The bombing of peaceful cities and vital infrastructure went on for several weeks. I have to recall these facts, because some Western colleagues prefer to forget them, and when we mentioned the event, they prefer to avoid speaking about international law, instead emphasising the circumstances which they interpret as they think necessary. Then came the turn of Iraq, Libya and Syria. The illegal use of military power against Libya and the distortion of all the UN Security Council decisions on Libya ruined the state, created a huge seat of international terrorism, and pushed the country towards a humanitarian catastrophe, into the vortex of a civil war, which has continued there for years. The tragedy, which was created for hundreds of thousands and even millions of people not only in Libya but in the whole region, has led to a large-scale exodus from the Middle East and North Africa to Europe. A similar fate was also prepared for Syria. The combat operations conducted by the Western coalition in that country without the Syrian government’s approval or UN Security Council’s sanction can only be defined as aggression and intervention.” Google or YouTube for the whole thing.

  14. Ukraine would be better without Zelensky for a peaceful resolution l saw videos of Zelensky making fun of Putin before War started.

  15. I'm not in the Russian side but Zelensky already killed 20 thousand Russian soldiers ,and inviting the world to enjoy the party peace would be the solution.

  16. ISIS, Black Water, Rawanda……should I keep going?

  17. My first concern is abcdfake news

  18. From an outsiders perspective it's a battle between two evils. One is attacking civilian cities and committing borderline genocide, while the other is using civilians as soldiers, supplying them with scrap and positioning them in cities packed with people. There is no "good side" in this conflict.
    And then there are the Russians and Ukrainians caught in the crossfire.

  19. Be realistic ; Bloodymir Putin will never give up those criminals. At best, he will claim they were all killed later by the Ukrainians in a battle. End of story.

  20. If Russian prisoners are taken they should not be exchanged because they can be witnesses to the atrocities. Interrogate and record these as evidence.

  21. The way nazis were brought to court was by capturing them and ending the war, I don't see putin ever being forced out of his country considering that any aggression towards russia will result in nuclear war.

  22. Since Obama took office, and then empowered our institutions, with globalist wokeness. Sit up and think, Not a single corrupt progressive Judge, Cop, or Politician faces jail time

  23. Europe should ban russian oil/gas/coal and help electric cars
    plus solar/wind with storage batteries to replace that oil/gas/coal!

  24. Putin enjoys killing civilianss

  25. No way Russia can argue the special military operation has made the world a better place. But they are after the land and resources

  26. Selenzkys Schauspiel fΓΌr die Mainstreampresse um die Welt zu erpressen !!.

  27. Totally wrong assessment. This is the standard russian war play book. They have perpetrated this kind if brutal war for many, many years. I am surprised that people are so surprised.

  28. Harold Hongju Koh loves neo-nazis, he does see them as saints.

  29. Blind war in history. Russian people have to open thier eyes to stop this war to save lives from both sides.

  30. Wartime heartbreak
    Composer: Randy

    In the bloody battlefield, dad
    The day is like the night when the party cannons resound in the sky
    The person who lost your home away from the children
    I really hate war

    Many good people ran to avoid falling bombs
    The bewildered heart looking for refuge
    Wife lost her husband, she loves and misses you
    Mother's children sacrificed for the country

    Oh war sat human sinners
    Covering mass graves here
    How many villages engulfed in flames and smoke
    Who bears war crimes

    Crying baby looking for mother
    Losing a family, living as an orphan
    Hearts reaching out to help
    Sadly misses his loved ones

    Far from home to live in exile
    Wishing for a peaceful new day
    Hate against the one who does not sow
    There is no war in this world

    God bless Ukraine

  31. UKRAINE NOW DESPERATELY NEEDS LONG RANGE ANTI AIR MISSILE SYSTEMS, ANTI SHIP MISSILES, MOBILE ARTILLERY, MIGS, MAIN BATTLE TANKS, SMART MUNITIONS, MANY MORE SWITCHBLADE SUICIDE DRONES, AND MANY MORE COUNTER-FIRE ANTI-ARTILLERY GROUND RADAR SYSTEMS! AMERICA AND NATO, PLEASE HELP US! TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE DURING THIS HARD TIME… PRESIDENT BIDEN AND NATO SHOULD HAVE SUPPLIED US WITH THESE WEAPONS WEEKS AGO!!! PLEASE WRITE/EMAIL YOUR GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES AND ASK THEM TO HELP US TO OBTAIN THE WEAPONS WE NEED. THANK YOU…

  32. there is none more atrocious than the U.S. Deep State Cabal and it's MSM Propaganda Machine. If they are pointing fingers and placing blame, 99.9 percent of the time its them pointing doing the dirty

  33. Hope they know Putin is not gonna go to jail. Like he said, he has an army and nuclear weapons. He's not gonna just give himself up

  34. So So Sad@!!! This War May WE NEVER FORGET@!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  35. Russia must never be forgiven. Russia including Putin is very good at manipulating power and despicable, and the Russian people will not know until they are subjected to the atrocities that innocent Ukranians are subjected to.

  36. Turkey and Azerbaijan recently did much worse and nobody said anything.
