The Russians have been there since 2014!! Is their progress really a surprise? Everywhere else they retreated
I thought russia is "running out" of rockets, missiles, and tanks? But according to CNN, Russian Military are launching atleast 100 sorties/missiles per day.
Idiots of the wourld help create massive on going energy crisis and we all suffer from it so stupid so stupid.
Ukraine better change to be federation of Russia because their president is an .i.di.ot
and who do you think will rebuild all of this …. let me bet the good ol' USofA… because this is strategic play.
Biden is such an embarrassment…
No more of our taxes earmarked for ukraine ..the world has problems too that need funding ..STOP funding ukraine
for anyone unclear about whats going on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jQMz1XWtnQ
Никто ж не спорит, что Украина имеет право на самооборону. Но, если взглянуть на факты, то эта самооборона сродни той, когда полиция ловит серийного убийцу, а он, уходя от погони, отстреливается, причем так, что попадает в случайных прохожих.
Мы понимаем, что на Западе преступления Украины не считаются преступлениями, даже наоборот, но чье-то мнение, пусть даже коллективное, не отменяет того, что Чикатило – маньяк, заслуживший возмездие.
У нас тут свое правосудие и свое представление о варварстве. Варвар не может говорить с тобой на одном языке, это пришелец, чужак, цель его визита тебя ограбить и подчинить себе. Именно так и вела себя Украина по отношению к большинству своих же граждан, навязывая мову, чужие ценности, карая за родные. Как можно назвать кого-то варваром, или оккупантом, если он говорит с тобой на одном языке и прогоняет тех, кто заставлял говорить на чужом?

Da commradeessss wwhhhat hhhaaaapppened to Ukrainians winning 😂😂😂🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺👊👊👊
ANYTHING TO AVOID TALKING ABOUT INFLATION AND GAS PRICES
🇷🇺 got balls
Putin obviously is not destroying all this in hopes of being the one to pay for repairing. That is mystifying. Maybe he has brain damage..
Ukrainian forces have to leave those regions of Donbass and stay out at the border and protect much Z&V infiltration, save lives and weaponsto the battles in the southern parts. The Black Sea shores at any cost! Slava UKRAINE and keep it up Ukrainians!!
Severodonetsk ya está tomada en su totalidad por rusia
But Biden couldn't get his head around that lets face it.
Biden doesn't know what does what.
The Biden regime needs to be arrested for crimes against humanity !
The truth will be revealed !
USA and European all they care to destroy Ukraine completely by sending all kinds of weapons, at the end Russia 🇷🇺 going to win no power in the world going to stop them, They will use Nuclear bomb and unconditionally surrender just like Japan in WW2
A very big appreciation to Dr Osaba on YouTube for helping me cure my HIV with his natural herbs medication.may God continue to bless your good work Dr Osaba …
"russia's defending their own territories" here fixed it for you.
Nice cut G
why has a metro train in moscow not been stopped yet?
Glory to Russia 🇷🇺. Huraaa
900 Billion dollar budget yearly US equipment getting pushed in by 60 Billion yearly budget Russian weapons. Americans only win in Hollywood or against goat herders lmao.
BS BY NBC BY EU AND THE JUNKIE(UKRAIN -ZELENSKY)👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎💯💢💣💥💣)
DO NOT SEND NOTHING!!!!! ZELENSKY IS JUST LIKE HUNTER A JUNKIE JUST SEND SOME 🤮KAKA 🥶💥💥KOKA💯💯💢👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Soon your homes will be unsafe, say thank you to Biden, with love from Russia ✌
There is a massive encirclement about to unfold. Russia is about to launch a MASSIVE campaign.
The US/NATO and Russia have been at odds since the USSR breakup. It would have been so simple that the countries bordering Russia established/maintained neutrality and acted as a buffer. It seems simplistic, but the price of peace is often overlooked due to ego.
Bravo Germany now not coward NATO Allies again!
Now Turning Point! Germany Chancellor approve to send Kyiv modern anti-aircraft missiles! But must not take a long!
City has fallen terrible coverage
I don’t understand why Biden is being so cautious
Donbass is pro Russia but Russia is destroyed Donbass. I don't understand this stupidity
Basically if I want to know what is going to happen I just listen what the Russians say (since the beginning). Because that's basically what happens after.
So in short:
Donbass will be taken.
No timeframe specified (as long as it takes)
Denazify Ukraine (ongoing)
Demilitarize Ukraine (till it's no longer a threat for Russia).
Pretty straightforward in fact.
There's no fighting intensifying, Ukraine has announced loss of the city and several videos on YT of Ukrainians surrendering or better still "evacuated"
