  1. The problem with Risk, is there has to be a winner. Hope it will end in peace.

  2. that is way supposed to be, there will be no more Ukraine when it is set and done. The Island was not retaken by the Ukraine but a good will gesture from Putin to leave so that they could sell their good by the see

  3. How did the president of Ukraine became president he was a show man aka 🤡 🐠

    Like Putin was in the military and he was a KGB officer (no offence but we know who will win the war)lol

  4. People have to realise nato is the virus

  5. Real chechens aren't Putin slaves

  6. Humiliation after humiliation and more humiliation! I can't wait to see zelensky's fat face! He gained a lot of weight during this military operation!

  7. No choice. Finally the real truth is coming out

  8. Finland and sweden should not be fooled by USA .thats what they alwyas say if they want to destroy a nation…finland and sweden open your eyes and seen what is happening in Ukrain

  9. It's truly sad this reporter has to inject snake venom in her face resulting in no facial expressions. She's beautiful already. Why the botox? It is reprehensible.

  10. Claiming Russia will run out Ammo and defeat soon is like Claiming 2 weeks flatten curve of 2 years

  11. More fabricated narratives. Russia did not invade because of NATO. Anne Laure Bonnel has been trying (in vain) to expose the Azoz militants who have been terrorizing the people of east Ukraine for over 8 years. Do your homework people

  12. When proud to be the war criminal.

  13. Love you great Russia to win over America in proxy war at the battlefield of ukraine. Respect to world leader Putin sir.🇮🇳🇷🇺🇨🇳

  14. Defensive alliance ??? Offensive alliance !!! Anyway, all oppressed people in the world are with and behind Poutine today ! Enough is enough !

  15. USA stop sending money to Ukraine and help ur people's USA. Stop using Ukraine like how u did in libya syria somalia iraq yesma Venezuela and other parts of the world

  16. Only CHINA , RUSSIA CAN TAME AMERICA , Nobody Comes Close ! AMERICA IS DONED !!!

  17. Snake island is useless and not defendable by Ukraine or Russia -Russia took it then left it again to show that they're not blocking grain export. US/UK/EU weaponry is over priced junk and being completely smashed and stolen. Ukraine is basically the biggest Nato armed country in Europe, what an embarrassing joke. Also as a bonus all Western countries are collapsing economically….good job Biden, Bojo an co!!

  18. Luhansk already taken by russian.. this is the truth

  19. If the war in the Donbas had been resolved, maybe, just maybe this wider conflict wouldn’t have erupted to the carnage we’re witnessing now. It is hard to believe that peoples who’ve had centuries long historical ties couldn’t talk to one another and find a way to resolve their differences. The Ukrainian people have the will to fight, but they don’t have their own arms capable of repelling Russian aggression. They require a continuous and steady supply of arms from other nations in order to carry out the defense of their territory. Or in other words, if the West stopped supplying arms to Ukraine, then Ukraine wouldn’t stand a chance and this war would have been over long ago. This makes one wonder whether diplomacy shouldn’t have been Ukraine’s best option to begin with. The Donbas conflict should have ended years ago through diplomacy. Land in exchange for peace isn’t a new concept.

  20. East Ukraine will be free!
    Slava Russia!

  21. Zelensky be like – Ukraine make a strategic retreat 😂😂

  22. Because all prices weren't going up before bidens war. Lol. Gotta love MSM and the cult running interference for the administration.

  23. Ukraine is losing too many troops to win

  24. No one will be on snake island, just to big of a target

  25. Those who don't believe russians are losing… When they first entered Ukraine – it was all across 7 oblasts and they took one city after another, now, they left the north, they are losing Kharkiv direction, they failed numerous attempts to partisans on the south (Kherson,Miletopil) at organizing pseudo elections, Odessa is free, they failed to take Nikolayev, and the strategic point in Chrnobaevka is the place they suffered defeat over 20 times now

    The only direction is Luhansk-Donetsk.. But come on, they have been infiltrating the area for 8+ years there, bribing locals, threatening and so on…

    I know we have some tactical retreats, but we are outgunned even with the Western support , like 10 fold.
    In the light of this, we Ukrainians are doing supreme.

  26. Ukraine Zalansky mess-up with the wrong person . First He should have understand that putin is not a actor and he s the role model

  27. Victory ✌️ always belong to russia 🇷🇺

  28. американцы начали осознавать правдув комментариях

  29. More and more western media channels are turning off comments. If you
    see a news video and the comments are off don't watch it. They don't
    care what the audience thinks so why watch it.

  30. As a citizen of just one country, the USA, an equal with the world’s nations, those with an ear to hear truth: Russian President Putin will drag the great nation of Russia into a world war if Russians do not stop him. The modern democracies of the world will not allow a dictator to continue. Not forever. And Mr. Putin has calculated that he has inspired too much fear throughout Russia to where Russians cower to him, and this he believes he can start a nuclear war, if he sees necessary. That will destroy so many lives. My children. Your children. I beg of all Russians to stand up to the dictator. Take back your nation for us all. Please!

  31. Sind die behindert, so lange Krieg zu machen?! Entweder man greift einmal richtig an oder man lässt es bleiben!

  32. 𝗢𝗳 𝗣𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗿 𝗜𝗜𝗜
    Last week, a conversation with Pope Francis was published, in which he related to the Russia-Ukraine war as the start of World War III. In a conversation with the editors of European Jesuit publications, and which was first published by the Italian Jesuit publication La Civiltà Cattolica, the Pope said, “The world is at war. For me, today, World War III has been declared.” Subsequently, he lamented, “What is happening to humanity that we have had three world wars in a century?” I do not believe that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is a third world war or that it should devolve into one. However, the fact that there is such a danger, or that there is war at all, shows that we have not drawn the right conclusions, which puts us in harm’s way again.
    It is clear to everyone that no one has anything to gain if the war in Ukraine escalates into a global conflict. That said, the war is yet another indication that we still do not know how to govern our desire for dominance and control.
    We have come to a point where our ego does not settle for controlling others. Nowadays, people are willing to destroy others for simply behaving or even thinking differently from them.
    If we want to prevent wars, we need to help all the nations realize that war does not bring any benefits, that we do not want it and do not need it. This is a process that must involve everyone, since each country must have its neighbors going through the same process, or belligerent countries will exploit other countries’ efforts to end violence.
    If countries do not adopt this approach, they will continue to compete against each other, exploit each other and deplete the earth of resources. We are already seeing the consequences of this attitude on our planet, but they will grow far worse in the very near future. Hunger, extreme heat, extreme cold, and countless other problems will overwhelm humanity and force nations to stop abusing others and focus on their own survival.
    To prevent this scenario from developing further than it already has, humanity needs to understand that we must learn to work together or nature will destroy us. Currently, many nations are still dreaming of conquests and subjugations of other nations. We must gradually make these nations understand that doing so will only harm them, and harm everyone else, as well. Unless we help everyone realize that we are dependent on each other for better or worse, and we must act accordingly, we will all be in big trouble.

  33. Those sanctions don’t really seem to be working, accept on US.

  34. All people in Arabic world support Russia glory for Russia

  35. What happened to the Ghost of Kiev? Can't NATO send him to the East?

  36. Why don't ABC report on how Zelensky came to be in his position of power. There are no Angels in this thing only swelled ego power trippers.

  37. The Russians are using the pound and ground strategy. It is going slow but they are gaining ground . The Ukrainians are doing what they can to stop them . The Russians don’t care how long it takes . After they fully capture the Donbas region they will bomb Odesa day and night . Then take that city of course with heavy loses and completely control the coast . Then they will move into Moldova in the area controlled by the Russian separatists. Then we will see what happens next . More sanctions should be applied. Russia should be isolated more and more till they leave these lands . One last Item Snake Island controlled by the Ukrainians give them absolutely no controlling power in the Black Sea .
