  1. This is exactly what they called a "Crime Triable, " exploiting a non-combatants as "Human Shileds" to impede retaliation. And It sounds very alarming does this will topple a DO-OR DIE situation! Poor innocent civilians engaging into Putins new methods of warfare which is prohibited.

  2. communists, socialists, will always be misused by some elements to carry out criminal movements by robbing everyone's property so that they are equal, this has happened in Indonesia at 1945 until 1965, this movement is to support people who hate differences in status, rich and poor, robbery will occur , looting, murder, whose members are not only from the military, more precisely there must be a group of cruel people from criminals who like this ideology, because,,,,yes to be able to rob and do many crimes for their evil personal satisfaction. There will be many kidnappings, murders, and vigilante actions in the quest. They will finish off anyone who opposes their movement.

  3. Putin should draft himself, not drafting husbands or fathers of families.

  4. Ukraine regains territory not by fighting but only after the withdrawal of Russian Forces of that said territory

  5. Pootin has yet to provide evidence that Western countries wished to destroy Russia.

  6. Those poor Russians who are just being used as cogs in Putin's military machine, should enter Ukraine and immediately surrender and handover their weapons to the Ukrainians. That's the best chance these reluctant reservists got. Then they should seek asylum to go far away from Putin's authoritarian grip. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians can finish the job. I'm sure Putin's next move will be full mobilization. This is when Russians would finally wake up and boot him out of power.

  7. https://youtu.be/aLv-W9eeJsE  After Putin's cruel war against Ukraine and humanity ends many generations of ordonairy Russians will have to pay reparations before they can participate in international traffic and trade again while Putin's inner circle will live rich on their with stolen Russian money boght foreign  estates Castles, bungalows and 500+ million dollar luxury yachts

  8. THE MURDEROUS HAND OF MAN = 2022 *

    War I hate, though not men, flags nor race

    But war itself with its ugly face.

    When we lose faith in the brave, which die

    Then we're not fit to greet those who cry.

    What distinguishes war isn't death

    But that man is slain by fellow man.

    Crushed by cruelty and injustice

    With his enemy's murderous hand.

    War tends to punish the punishers

    So the losers won't suffer alone.

    The essence of war is but violence

    Till the survivors come marching home.

    It’s not a priest who gives us freedom of religion,

    It’s not a reporter who give us freedom of voice.

    It’s not any judge, lawyer, politician, preacher or teacher

    But the blood of a soldier that was sacrificed by choice.

  9. Is it just me, or does Putin bear a remarkable resemblance to Sylvester P. Smythe?

    Seriously.

  10. Ukraine shall fall. Godbless Russia and the lives that Azov took 🇷🇺

  11. Judea declares war on Christianity(Russia)

  12. Just wait to say, I love you Ukraine, I support you Ukraine, and I PRAY for you, Ukraine. No matter what,
    SLAVA UKRAINI!!🇺🇦🇺🇲❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  13. Ukraine has tonnes of highly radioactive material in reactors in its territory and has the proven capability to strike deep into hostile territory, meaning many of Russia's nuclear reactors and stockpiles are within striking distance… If the button is pressed the ruins in Ukraine get a little bit flatter, whereas those living in gilded palaces in St Petersburg have much much more to loose.

  14. I think a partial mobilisation is where you create a 40km long convoy of military equipment then stop them half way towards your military objective… Then later leave them and go somewhere else … It is a strange way to demilitarize somewhere you want to demilitarize.. By sending lots of military equipment there.

  15. Oligarchs has been put up $ 10 Millions Euro for VLADIMIR PUTIN 🗣️ Death or live .1 million dollars for Sergei Lavrov Head 🗣️ Death ☠️ or live And 1million dollar for shogou Minister Defense of Russia and $ 500,00 for the Kremlin secretary of Russia Army 🪖
    Got them before they destroy Russia

  16. Poo tin has gone crazy. Poo tin is sick in the head, just like hitler.

  17. Russian mother' and father'

  18. Putin is destroying Russia just like Hitler destroyed Germany
    Putin is destroying Russia just like Hitler destroyed Germany
    Putin is destroying Russia just like Hitler destroyed Germany

  19. …and all those people are Russian to get out before being sent to the front.

  22. Joe Biden is such a weak feeble President…. He keeps saying Russia, Russia Russia…. This is Putin, Putin, Putin call him out and stop being such a wet noodle!

  23. A 70year old man sending young lives to destruction.

  24. Go putin and russia 🇷🇺

  25. 🥇 Zelensky the Hero!

    🚜 Russia mobilizes: Most Googled phrase "How to leave Russia" 😂 #PutinWarCriminal

    Slava Ukraine! 💛💙

  26. 🏆 🇺🇲 THANK YOU JOE BIDEN 🇺🇸 🏆

    THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO STAND UP TO PUTIN AND NOT COWER TO HIM LIKE TRONALD DUMP DID FOR 4 YEARS AT THE USA'S 🇺🇸 EXPENSE

    THANK YOU ! 🇺🇲

    THANK YOU FOR GIVING AMERICA INTEGRITY AGAIN 🇺🇲🏆

  27. Just remember this never would have happened with Trump

  28. Someone should tell this moron canon fodder is not gonna win him anything , his trash Russia is outdated and it’s his fault l.

  29. Talk about the Ukrainian “cleansing units” who are now killing and torturing civilians perceived as pro-Russian now.

  30. Congratulations Pro War Russians now it's your turn to step foot on the battlefield. Have fun.

  31. This Putin's announcement of Partial (why not Full) Mobilization is a sign of Russia's Failure in Ukraine, it is a sign that Manpower is depleted and there is an Urgent Need to Enlist Soldiers for the Frontline, his stubborn refusal to call his Military Adventure a "war" and arresting Russians for calling it so, and now his about turn eating his own words has brought shame and disrepute to Russia and Particularly to himself, and his repeated Threat to use Nuclear Weapon if there is existential threat to Russia, which could now include the Donbass the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic which Russian Separatists backed by Moscow are calling for a Referendum which outcome to be part of Russia is almost certain to materialize, and which he would point out is an Existential Threat to Russia and therefore would legitimise a Nuclear Response, for which the Western Powers Particularly the US must give a Robust and Unequivocal Response, otherwise he would assume that Joe Biden is Very Weak and would Buckle under his Threat. The World is now watching what the US President, currently the Free World's Standard Bearer, would Response to Putin's Desperate Threat making it clear to the Ruthless Authoritarian Despot that America's Response is Also Not A Bluff.

  32. Meanwhile Ukraine is running out of reserves to mobilize

  33. If Russians don't stop putin. Then we will have to stop all Russians. 💥 your choice. And China can get it too . Bunch of bug eaters anyways

  34. Sept. 11, 2001 and Jan. 6, 2021 are two dates that most Republicans DO NOT want to remember. Why? If you don't know, you have a very shallow mind like Trump. Vote for Democracy come November, not Trumpocracy. Trump supports Putin all the way.

  35. Now would be the perfect time to invade Russia, they're weak. Can anybody say counter attack?

  36. Where is the billionare comedian Zelensky?

  37. Cant wait to see videos of the two putin daughters tossed and ripped apart like ragdolls!!!

  38. XI is winnie the poos love child 👍
