  1. There is no Russian version of the Minsk agreement, plus Ukraine didn’t have any gun to its head when working out the Minsk agreement, in fact France and Germany were there as well to assist in the process and essentially be the guarantors of the Minsk agreement to be implemented! Such B.S. is being said here I’m just shocked and frustrated how the news keeps on spinning the truth and making Russia the bad guy in everything and everywhere. Also neither Putin nor any of the Russians want to dominate Ukraine or rebuild a new Soviet Union, that’s absurd, there have been poles done about this topic and huge majority of Russians do not want Ukraine and neither does Putin, what they want is SECURITY, and for Ukraine to remain neutral and not Join NATO because then NATO will move its weapons even closer to Russia and by placing the missile defense system closer to Russia it will essentially compromise Russias nuclear deterrence because then it gives NATO the ability to strike down the missiles during the initial launch phase, and that puts Russia at a disadvantage to defend itself and an opportunity for anyone to invade Russia because their nukes no longer will pose a significant threat. It’s common sense and very simple to understand and yet, all of the fake news is pushing the big bad Russia narrative and giving Ukraine weapons in the process which will then essentially attempt a military resolution instead of Minsk agreements to resolve their decade long civil war and Russia is not about to let that happen for many reasons, the main being Ukraines effort to kill/jail everyone in Donbas that was against their new government that came in after the armed overthrow of the president then instituting laws discriminating against the Russian minority living in the eastern part of Ukraine…. So after 14k deaths and so many houses destroyed and peoples lives turned upside down does the Ukranian government really think that people in Donbas will simply forgive and forget and learn to speak Ukranian since speaking Russian is now prohibited in Ukraine and just move on happily ever after? Well… apparently they do!!

  2. The United States does not have a media. It has a propaganda service for the military/security complex, the pharmaceutical industry, and the global elite. It is impossible to wring one word of truth out of the US media!

  3. So the world is helping Ukraine but not Hong Kong ?

  4. PEOPLE LIVING THEIR LIFE SHOWS TO OTHER PERSON :- I have Car / Cars – Lamborghini , Audi , Mercedes ,Tesla, bmw Royal roce etc etc shows their car /cars to other and becomes happy 😊 with showing and leaders of the country shows to the leaders of other country NUCLEAR WAEAPONS – MISSILES :- 2000 KM… 5000 KM ..TANKS ….BOMBERS :- World is moving towards a good 👍 growth 😜😜😜😜😜growth is certainly there ..happening all over the world

  5. What's d problem😎🤔😞Why the big leaders cannot find the diplomatic solution

  6. RUSSIA & UKRAINE : It is d war of d eGos in d mind .On d Superficial level , Putin thinks dt He & His country more powerful dn Zelensky & his Country bt 4m inner side , he is fearful , insecure & in big fear dt if Ukraine joins Nato then 😎 is the fear of future – lot of security concerns .So, FEAR AND INSECURITY IN THE MIND IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF MASS DESTRUCTION & he become offensive rather then defensive or neutral .So much powerful country Russia is , So much powerful person MR PUTIN is but only from outer & from inner he is in fear and insecurity .On the other hand Ukraine supported by no.of countries like USA , GERMANY , FRANCE etc who are increasing the confidence of Zelensky & the people of Ukraine that we are here to support you i.e to support Ukraine but just think 🤔 that if these people of other countries takes a back step after the initiation of the war i.e superficially saying that we will support you and Ukraine but if in case after initiation of the war will not supprt as per the promise then 😎 what will happen .THE BIGGER LOSS OF ONLY ONE COUNTRY ie.UKRAINE and their people & then offcourse RUSSIA and their people .So ,it is d duty of the two heads ( president's ) of two countries i.e Ukraine & Russia to sit on the table & to interact & to leave their Ego behind & to be friendly with each other for the benefits of each other & for their countries respectively .Finding a solution is better then giving water and food to their egos dt ," I AM POWERFUL ( RUSSIA ) WE ARE POWERFUL ( UKRAINE & NATO ) .After the end of the war – Nobody will be powerful – Only dead bodies with mass destruction and RESENTMENT that what we did this only because of EGO IN THE MIND and lost no
    Of people , their home ,their happy life .IT IS BETTER – FOR THE SAKE OF OTHER PEOPLE LIVING IN THE COUNTRY OF RUSSIA AND UKRAINE THAT BOTH OF YOU – SHOULD RESIGN AND THE POSITION OF PRESEDIENT should be given to those who are having less Ego who can think from their heart ❤️ and mind rather then influenced by the leadership persons of any other country.Mr Zelensky should say to the Mr Putin – ok for your sake and for your country's security & for your insecurity in the mind – we r 🚫 not joining NATO & in return Mr Putin should say like this – Ok you can join NATO but your joining should not be harmful have detrimental effect on the security of our country .BUT what is happening is the EGO CONFLICTS dt can lead to only and only – MASS DESTRUCTION .Initially who is less powerful see more destruction then 😎 who is powerful will also see destruction at his end .AT THE END OF THE WAR — RESENTMENT AND ONLY RESENTMENT that why we did this ??????? Because NOBODY WINS IN THE WAR – BOTH WILL BE BIG LOSERS.So, think before Act otherwise ok – Go Ahead & Best of luck to both the countries .

    Please leave a comment and tell me where you came from and WHAT IS YOUR OPINON??

    I Post daily so be sure to subscribe to see the latest news and developments as it happens!

  8. How come every American expert is WRONG at the end? 200,000 Russians attacked a kindergarten in Ukraine. Wow that was great news. war starts on 16th February. Wow, that was great news.

  9. Mark my words:
    1. Putin will take eastern and southern Ukraine and cut ukraine off from sea.
    2. Biden and co will make noise and when the push comes they will chicken out.
    3. Germany will talk tough but take gas anyway.
    4. UK and France too will make some noises.
    5. Ukraine regime will change to pro-russian head (this point im not 100% sure)

    all others will happen 100%

  10. Anything ABC says is blatantly false .

  11. Putin is not going to invade

  12. Since Russia did not have intent to invade Ukraine in the first place, how did Biden get involved- oh! – he started it!

  13. Funny, the Russian UN ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy said Russia has no intention of invading Ukraine. He had a lengthy interview with the Grayzone. I already knew the story but – when I this media propaganda and it makes me just SMH

  14. NATO is starting WWIII

  15. Did Ukraine reach an agreement never join Nato for ten years ? Russia does not want war with Ukraine, but Russia doesn't want Nato keep expanding , that is for sure.

  16. Sanctions won't affect the U.S. but they ask Germany to cancel Nord Stream 2 pipeline which they paid for.

  17. To hell with the Ukrainian border, why don’t we send US troops to stop the illegal invasion at our southern border skumbag communists

  18. I have not heard so much nonsense in my life.

  19. So much Bullshit in such a short video. What a shame!

  20. I other news…….today biden told the American people that he was going to create a national holiday in honor of George floyd.

  21. I applaud Putin for taking advantage of bidens weak leadership

  22. What threatening position????? They are training their army in their own country. Enough already

  23. This idiot thinks Putin is stupid like him🤣🤣

  24. Russia would not wait to cry Ukraine "war crimes" until after they had lined up 177,000 threatening military troops with warships in Ukraine harbor. Russia says it discovered mass graves(196) in the area controlled by Russian backed separatists, which had not been found previously (by either side.) While this would have been an accusation before Russian invasion, it is suspect now when Russia announced it would withdraw but then instead brought in more military troops and weapons. Putin seems to be playing games.

  25. These guys are pro US. they are not behaving as an analyst.

  26. We should be bombing china not Russia. China murdered everyone with their bioweapon, not Russia

  27. The obiden-soros kiev coup back in 2015 is one of the greatest catastrophes of this century…..b

  28. She knows shes lying. Double Blinken

  29. DON'T LET THE MURDERER AMERICA INTO YOUR COUNTRY!

    You can never get rid of it, you become its slave.

    NATO makes you a target. Maintain your independence.

  30. Hitler too invented reasons to go to war. Biden is doing the same exact thing, exactly how it happened for Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s fascinating to think there are peoples like you that don’t realize obvious truths. The same people that pushed for war in the Middle East are the same exact people in the same exact hidden position of power to continue the US’s unrelenting wars that never stop. You actually think our government is in control?

  31. In the year 2022 the world is still run by monsters. We are truly a primitive creature that has very little value for life. Even at this point Putin should be charged by the world courts for war crimes. Can you imagine the fear these families live under in Ukraine. If I threaten my neighbor I could go to jail. Here we have a single man that has the whole world on edge waiting to see what HE decides to do,. Will I start a war killing thousands , even millions or innocent people or will I go home. it is insanity, nothing less, what kind of creature are we.

  32. Ukraine and Biden want to create war there.
    Its Biden who is helping Ukraine gov to start a war which they gonna blame to Russia. Dont b fooled folks. This is just like Korean war.

  33. The only ones that are pro’s at false flag operations are the US and Israel. Maybe the Russians should take some lessons from the US on how to do a false flag and blame it on the enemy. Lol.

  34. The only ones that are pro’s at false flag operations are the US and Israel. Maybe the Russians should take some lessons from the US on how to do a false flag and blame it on the enemy. Lol.

  35. They say the same thing about Russia every day for the past month. If they really wanted to invade than they would’ve long ago.

  36. What is happening in Ukraine… it will not be able to change either the supporter of LGBT democracy and gender change in children Joe Biden.. not the United States… neither NATO nor the Russian Federation or the United Nations… this is the result of the multiplication of lawlessness and the spread of sin among the population of the planet… more precisely, acceptance as a norm of behavior in civil society. It seems to you that the problem in Russia, the desire of Ukraine to be in Europe, democracy and the like is stupid… but the problem is the multiplication of lawlessness and crimes among people and enmity against the Lord God Jesus Christ, American godsdemocracy, free life in sins and the abomination of enmity with the LORD GOD lead this world to destruction, as it is written – for the wrath of God opens from heaven to all wickedness and untruth of people who suppress the truth wrong. For what can be known about God is clearly for them, because God has revealed him. For the invisible of Him, His eternal power and Deity, from the creation of the world through the consideration of creations are visible, so that they are unrequited. But how they, having learned God, did not glorify Him as God, and did not thank Him, but were in their minds, and their unthinkable heart was overshadowed; calling themselves wise, distraught, and the glory of the imperishable God was changed into an image similar to a dark man, and birds, and four-legged, and reptiles – then God betrayed them in the desires of their hearts to their uncleanness, so that they spoiled their own bodies. Therefore, God betrayed them to shameful passions: women replaced their natural use with unnatural; like men, leaving the natural use of the female sex, were fueled by lust for each other, men on men doing scars and receiving in themselves due retribution for their delusion. And as they did not care to have God in the mind, God betrayed them to the wrong mind – to do indiscretions, so that they were filled with all untruths, fornication, cunning, greed, malevolence, filled with envy, murder, strife, deception, malevolence, slanderers, God-avengers, abusers, samochvals, They know the righteous judgment of God that those who do such works are worthy of death; however, not only do they, but also do they approve. (Rome 1: 18-24, 26-32)… Therefore, wars, famine, earthquakes, catastrophes… God wants sinners to realize their corrupted nature and know the evil in which they live… repent of their crimes, turn to the path of service to the LORD GOD and carry in their lives the light of the true love of the Gospel of Jesus Christ… through the service of the Holy Spirit. The Lord God will destroy all his opponents and destroy all the nations of the Gentiles. The SSHA, with its democracy, replaced the values ​ ​ of Gods culture of behavior and relationships in human society recorded in the Bible. If politicians do not repent of their crimes and sins… this world can perish
