  1. Sweden sent the Ukrainians 5000 AT4:s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT4), 5000 flak vests, and more than 100 000 field rations – a small part of our own defense against Russian aggression.
    And that is just a start. This is the type of support needed. Russian bots – go f yourself!

  2. Well now Switzerland isn't neutral country anymore

  3. Jag står med Ryssland!🇺🇲

  4. What about permanent neutrality? Laugh.

  5. Send the Flying Tigers to clear the skies of Putin

  6. You know it's a bad situation when even Sweden and Switzerland break their neutrality.

  7. As there were talks about outsourcing the Afghanistan war during Trump, say to Blackwater or some other bidders, would it sound that silly for NATO to award the biz of “no fly zone over Ukraine” to a non NATO country such as Switzerland or South Africa?

  8. How many bioweapons lab US has in Ukraine????

  9. if Ukraine lose the global nuclear arming processes will go further instead backwards

  10. Stay strong Russia!🇷🇺❤️
    Peace and safety to Ukraine..
    NATO is responsible of this war!👎👎🏼👎🏾

  11. It is very difficult to overcome a dedicated “guerrilla“ army that is armed (later trained) and well supplied. If the Ukrainian people could last long enough to shame the world … Putin could fail and fall. He’s invincible (in his mind) and paranoid at the same time. Putin trusts no one. He’s had so many people killed in creative ways that he knows keeping his distance is one way to help keep him safer. He’s afraid of Covid-19 and it’s variants. All of the revenue streams that assist Russia to wage war should be cut off, including crypto currency.

  12. This’ll end faster if they go after Putins and the oligarchs personal money. There are multiple billions in Euros, Pounds and dollars. The oligarchs may band together to rid themselves of this mad man if he costs them enough!

  13. as a russian i’m still waving the ukrainian flag 🇺🇦

  14. You can't be considered neutral if you chose sides. End of neutrality.

  15. When the guys that collected Nazi gold say your doing something wrong, chances are your doing something wrong

  16. WWII & NOW ?
    As war is fought it takes charge
    And events spin out of control.
    The madness of men can alter the soil
    which nourishes the roots of their soul.

    Many things will forever change
    Far more then wished to be.
    As the wrath of war starts to destroy
    Those things we fight to keep free.

    War is the greatest plague of man,
    Religion, state and sanity.
    Any scourge is more preferred
    Than the one which disables humanity.

    When war breaks out, boundaries change
    And all who die are a token
    Of the rage that must run its course
    Before words of peace are spoken.

    It’s not a priest that gives us our freedom of religion
    And it’s not a reporter that gives us our freedom of voice.
    It’s not any judge, lawyer, politician, preacher or teacher
    But the blood of a soldier that has sacrificed by choice.

  17. That's strange, doesn't neutral mean that you don't stand with any nation during wartime? Kind of contradictory

  18. For context, Switzerland signed the Treaty of Paris in 1815, which is the document that keeps them neutral. They have broken that in 2022. So after 207 years, they have decided that this conflict is important enough to get involved. I know there have been many historical events within the past three years, but this is one I'm glad to see in my lifetime.

  19. 💙💙❤‍🩹💛💛 Praying for Ukraine and all innocent people involved in this foolishness. We stand with you and please know that we are fighting here as well to help your voices to be heard and to get you the help that you need and deserve. Remain strong and may you soon be delivered from this senseless act of genocide.

  20. ALL 27 UNITE VS phew-tin 👹putin PIRACY IMPERIAL & BACKWARDS TO USSR WAR MOVE!!! BUT !! BUTT HEADS IN U.N. / NATO NEED TO SWARM SWOOP DOWN TO CUT OFF CONVOY & HALT REINFORCEMENTS; NOW !!

  21. Why are humans so stupid. We give a few individuals power to decide if we can live or die without cause.

  22. Get pieces of wood with nails to punch holes in tires. Get personal drones with C4 to kamikazi into the convoy. Shoot cocktail to fuel tank the shoot the fire so fuel explodes or 🔥.
