Remember Putin lies alot
Oh my boy is getting Parkinson, haha die Putin
Putin is the MAN. He’s a baller with style & SWAG. He defeated the weasel-dog Zelensky, & destroyed the Ukie Nazi army. ✨🇷🇺✨
Glory to Russia 🇷🇺
If Putin calls it off, it's because he knows he won't win. He doesn't care about the lives of the soldiers.
"Russian publicity stunt"
The new General on this mission is a true genuine
Zelennski- kokainski propaganda ..zelenski not politic wtf his comic man
Putin all balkan love you 😍
Well this says a lot, doesn't it? His most senior officials cannot even deliver a short statement without reading word-for-word from written notes. Not to mention he cannot even sit on his chair properly! Incompetent muppets!
Russia has several times opened a humanitarian corridor for the withdrawal from Azovstal, but they will not show you this …
Could it be that simple? Litteraly nato soldiers/officers there and putin wants them paraded but nato through elensky would rather starve them to death then let the world know
By the way – if true – just imagine being said nato personnel there, i suspect you wouldn't be very popular among ukrs as time goes on, lol
Fuel the underground with Water … the Rats come out !!!
Clever move. The neonazis have most likely booby trapped the entire factory. Let them rot in darkness without water or food. Eventually they will come out and we’ll know the truth of is there that the cocaine addicted actor was ordered to rescue no matter the cost.
Seems his spine has crumbled, dwarf of misery
They won't storm it because they can't lol…
I guess the Russian are gonna storm the steel mill then.. Pretty much anything Putin says is a opposite world
Don’t read the comments: save your brain cells.
Russia. It is time for the European enemies of Russia to see and feel what the sanctions are. They close and stop sending gas and supply oil and coal to the Europeans and Ukraine. With gas and oil, Russian iron is that they are using it to assassinate and end the Russian soldiers and the lives of all the peoples of Russia. It is time to defeat the enemies with their fear of the closure of the Russian gas. No more privileges of humanity for those who want to end all the Russians
He is not gonna have his soldiers storm it, he is going to continue to allow the siege so that they starve.Pootin(pun intended) is indeed a cruel man.God is gonna take Vengeance on him for all the lives lost and all the suffering he has cause around the world.
Yesterday I prayed earnestly for God to preserve the lives of the Ukrainian soldiers defending Mariupol from the Azov steel plant. God heard me, praise be to God through Jesus Christ. The Bible says the heart of the king is in God’s hand. I spend 10 days in Mariupol two years ago, visiting the frontlines and spending time with soldiers. It was a beautiful city, I pray for its soon restoration under Ukraine in Jesus name amen.
This feels so staged 😅 Yeah right Putin gives direct orders like this… When I think about it.. He might actually do, that would explain why Russia is losing.
Putin has Parkinsons. Notice how he holds table with right hand and camera does closeup to hide Putin lifting his right leg toward the end(you see a bit of that in the beginning – starts at 0.06 then the film make a slight jump/flash to hide it.)
cabaret! ha ha . Putin is typical Russian mafia thug. He is only brave when everything goes his way. He is a coward when it does not go his way. He thinks that he can outsmart everybody. The problem for him is that he is not smart at all. He is actually stupid. King is naked!!!! Nobody takes him seriously except the mistakes that he is willing to forgo in the future. He is finished sooner or later.
Putin has Parkinsons disease. Watch how he holds the table with his right hand to stop the tremors
what if the Russians flood the tunnels with seawater ?
Putin looks like he's sitting in the principals office because he's a bully that can't behave himself.
Luster nuun noh mich jonguh
And this is how the stupid Ukraine soldiers get buried alive.
What are all the same deceitful Western media, carefully cut out the part where Putin says that he guarantees the life of a humane attitude towards the Nazis and foreign mercenaries who settled there.REALLY AN EMPIRE OF LIES
I have family in ukraine stop putin!😡
Putin knows that there are American Officers from the Pentagon trap trapped in the steel plant, he wants them alive.
History has shown that Russians have mastered war of attrition.
Putin finally got those neo Nazis congrats 👏🎉 zelensky
Hahaha 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 sure P 💩 TIN
Maintain your strength whislt Starving your opponent into submission. This is what shall happen unless Zelensky offers them an opening to fight their way out.
Putin has already bought shame upon Russia. Nobody's better off for the actions of Vladimir Putin. Russia was failing economically. He attacked Ukraine because it was the only power he could exert. Putin is destroying Russia
Everything special Operations Putler says is a lie
NATO, EU and US are in a panic. This is a message from Putin that he will not allow whatever dirty secrets are in the steel factory to be destroyed. Russia is performing this Military Operation perfectly. Western media has been trying to convince us that Russia has failed and Ukraine has beaten back Russia, lies!

The ramifications of this war run much deeper than the impact it will cause to those directly involved in the conflict. It will reshape the world, as it is likely that other latent frictions between countries and territories will be activated as a consequence of the Russia-Ukraine situation. This war just opened an era of wars, small and large, between different peoples.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently said that this war could easily become "the biggest war in Europe since 1945", and I agree. If countries with similar backgrounds cannot reach agreement between them, then how much more likely it is that several countries that have big differences and ancient conflicts may easily slip into war for no apparent justifiable reason.
On a personal level, it saddens me to see how fate turns around and once again we find ourselves at war. I am sorry and restless since I have many students in Russia and Ukraine who are under threat and feel how the deteriorating situation is affecting them and the whole world. In Israel, too, I have many students who follow with concern what is happening in Eastern Europe, anxious about the fate of their family members and friends.
My hope is that the manifestations of hatred between the Russians and the Ukrainians will stop soon, two peoples who have lived side by side throughout history. If it were still possible, I would give everything I could to silence, calm down, avoid the escalation, but this is impossible for now.
There is not much that we can do at this stage. We can only long for peace and a ceasefire, talk about all parties showing restraint. The parties in conflict could follow the example of the Native American tribes who buried their hostility in a ceremony during which previously warring tribes agreed to settle their differences and live in harmony, and sealed their agreement by the chief of each tribe burying a war hatchet in the ground.
Such a scenario does not look realistic under the current circumstances. Thus, above the forces of hostility, above the egoism and control as the driving forces of all the conflicts in the world, we can only raise a global prayer for peace, asking that we all get along with everyone. Because only in the power of connection and in the connection between our hearts, can a great positive force arise, a force that is able to unite all parties, to reconcile the haters, to awaken the truth in us all that we all belong to one soul. As it is written, “He who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace upon us…” (The Book of Job, 25:2)
Why is Azovstal Steel Plant important to the Russia?
Because it stores Zelensky's balls of steel!
If they are brave fighters why are they hiding in the rat hole.They should come out and fight their way out from the Russians snare. The one in the grave already and the one on top of the grave ready to cover it who needs peace.?
Headline should read.. putins useless russian army cannot take a steel mill from 1000 Ukrainians.
The Russians admit that they are powerless before the Azov batallion. they just can`t defeat them in combat
US citizen Gonzalo Lira Gonzalo Lira, who covered the war, was captured (and allegedly executed) by Sergei Velichko
Former Azov militant from Kharkov
Sergei Velichko, as the Nazis themselves say, cut off his head, and has already shown a video in the closed group of the therodefense of Kharkov.
"block it so not even a fly comes through" – right! that's how you spare the lives of your soldiers. i don't like war. but every little bit of reason is a relief.
Definitely smelt (being puny) defeat.
