  1. 3:50 the thing is like Stalin, Putin will silence anyone who speaks out or goes against his wishes. No matter if what Putin is doing is wrong.

  2. I distance myself from and I'm ashamed of the South African government who is taking a neutral stance in this terrible war that is happening all because they are afraid of Putin and how much money they have put into BRICS. On the evening that Russia invaded Ukraine, they were having a party and drinking champagne at the Russian embassy in Pretoria. Disgraceful to say the least. SLAVA PRESIDENT ZELENSKY!! 💙💙💙💛💛💛 SLAVA UKRAINE 💙💙💙💛💛💛

  3. Then we will March a convoy to sky and bt erase all dishes simple what u expect we will capture the registration

  4. Main reason why people are suffering, because there’s no partnership between government and a community, all money put into a war and no money invested in a public to build economy , you can be dictatorship country or democratic country, end of a day if this carry on forever it’s not the public to blame , only people who run the country , that’s why most people feel betrayed by government and runaway if they get a chance , and those countries who are stable and doing everything for people getting accused or finger pointing , because their leaders investing money into public and doing everything they can for public and country itself , and that’s how bad leaders washing people brains and passing the blame on anyone , including successful countries, corruption is everywhere, but there’s a limits to it , thx for reading, maybe, I’m wrong, I do apologise.

  5. the "economic" is not all
    MUCH MORE IMPORTANT ARE LIFES. You can put your sanctions somewhere… no effect whatsoever to THE RESULT which is the total destruction from Ucraine. When this is done We have to be very carefull as China will fill all the ""sanctions holes quickly" But again.. do not punish russia.. deescalate BY STOP NATO EXPANSION.
    I find it extremely bad to focus just on "how to ruin Putin" "the economy"
    .. Focus on saving lives OF THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF BRAVE PEOPLE!! Stop for a while the sanctions stalking or else We.. including US very likely to be dragged in a war.. this one is different than the Lybian or Syrian.. i hope I'M WRONG but watch after 2-3 Weeks from now the Ucraine and its status.. and ask Yourself:
    how did the sanctions help?
    could you protect or save any life with it?
    Did Putin even slightly backed off because the sanctions?
    I guess you know the answer!!

  6. Children are dying from their bombs and if they can’t use the atm machine…..so sad…

  7. Спасибо что говорите правду об отношении русских к этим событиям.

  8. Western Hypocrisie ! So disgusting. And yet they still manage to manipulate the masses into believing they are the good guys. It irks me

  9. Good. Let the bastards squirm.

  10. Does the police feel what the civilians feel?

  11. Can’t wait China take over India and Pakistan ….

  12. Ukraine fall is going to happen. Media pros–titutes will not stop it with their dog $h!t. Better get other facts too and stop misleading.

  13. A wounded animal needs to be shot

  14. Nothing gonna happen too russia they still got there oil 🤣

  15. Zelensky=man of the people beloved by the world for his bravery, Putin= man for himself and his own ego embarrassing himself on the worlds stage..

  16. The West assume that by crippling Russia economy by sanctions, its people will go against the Russian government. It might work or it may backfire. See Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and etc. Example: 20% of the those individual countries population hating those government does not represent the whole country by any means. It just mean that the balance 80% support those government.

  17. Hitler, kadafi, kim jong il and now putin. On the wrong side of history. What a waste of brilliance.

  18. hypocritical and warlike propaganda media #fakenews
