  1. Unilateral ? 😆 Love how way they spin "Zelensky rejected Putin's proposal "

  2. Show your desire for peace and pass the peace message around by any means. Do not trust Zelensky and Putin. They are the cause of this war and they are hungry for war. Do not trust them, force them to make peace and ceasefire with people power.

  3. the donbas region was already in shambles from a horrible civil war long before russia showed up…

    i love you ALL
    my best wishes thoughts prayers and meditations for ALL
    ONE 💛

  4. Day 318 Putin calls for 36-hour ceasefire for Orthodox Christmas.

    46 Ukrainians are killed each day in Putin's senseless war.

    44 Americans are killed each day by other Americans.

    Guns are for losers unless you are hunting to put food on the table.

  5. Putin is not a president. He is a low life thug. A thief. And a rat. Just like Trump.
    If you think your Government is doing a bad job. For once in your life. Think again.

  6. He's taking time off, the Republicans just nominated him for house speaker, he's coming over to press some flesh.

  7. “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood

  8. This is exactly what 🇷🇺 wants. It's a perfect opportunity to claim justification for a wwiii with nato & go ☢️ on ukraine.

  9. You started killing people and now you think of Christmas,

  10. all Ukrainian been feed with lies and propaganda that they will win this conflict with Russia on the battlefield. Ukrainian now have a delusional mind disorder -if they think they will win and take back parts which are under Russian rule.

    Russia has already won – they control a large area of Ukrainian. Ukrainian fools have not yet learnt nothing and when Russia makes its final offensive push next 3 weeks – they will push up-to river dnieper and take back Odessa region, which was Russian in the past.

    As United States Senator Lindsey Graham said in an interview – we expect Ukrainian to flight to the last man.. We expect them to bleed Russia on the battlefield … (words are chilling ) – NOT win… Ukrainian sheep to the slaughter . !

  11. Zelenskii may get a first dose of nuclear taste if he continues to push his stupidity deeper each day. The West is cheering in its sheer madbess

  12. did putin get Zelenski's approval?

  13. hahah here your civillian targerts in Ukraine – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J81Gkp7A86s

  14. Putin's holiday should be ignored just like he ignored Ukraine's!!! DO unto others putin!!!

  15. Oh how sweet, the cause of the war wants a time out to rebuild his efforts?

  16. Putin is a deceiver, destroyer and mass murderer. Like the devil you can never trust that evil man. He will use ceasefire for his sinister purpose.

  17. Does russia not remember we game them weapons and planes in ww2? We were allies. How does Ukraine being pro western make them "godless heretics"? Kinda hypocritical if you ask me

  18. Make sure you decimate their positions

  19. There are 2 countries…. One a big country and one a small country,  a big country attacking a small country is not nice ~ Kamala Harris
    I'd rather have her in charge then Trump with his very very mean tweets
    The fact that we had real peace,  great economy, low prices, low crime and less covid deaths doesn't really matter 🤔

  20. Interesting how a long time avowed Communist and Atheist is all of a sudden concerned with Orthodox Christmas. Like his KGB buddy Patriarch Kirill, yes he is another known KGB agent….
    Probably stalling waiting for another shipment of drones from his most Christian neighbor, Iran…they really know how to do Christmas, huh?

  21. Zelensky and U.S. politicians backed by their weapons dealers love war.
    WAR is a RACKET!

  22. This küṅṭ wants to call a time out after all his crap? How fugging pathetic. 🙄
