  1. I don’t see any difference in the 2 photographs.

  2. Don't have satellite of nuclear facility, or Ukrainian prison. Does US have responded satellites? They have razor missles,why not

  3. Tensions heightened hm? Wow it's not as if there has been a war going on for a few months

  4. How exactly do tensions get higher when there is already a war?

  5. Zelensky screwed up ukraine and simply enjoying photo shoots, throw him out ukraine

  6. Putin can take Ukraine in 1 day if he wanted.

  7. the russians made a strategic move here very smart… evil, but smart… an essentially unbombable ammo depot and logistical hub… a nightmare gor any army to attack… only way is to take it by a ground offensive

  8. Crimean crisis cannot be solved simply by supporting sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. Anybody who live in Ukraine or Crimea knows that the issue is far more complex than what the news platforms generally report. Nevertheless, if you would like to know the solution, you should know that the presence of NATO and an ethno-linguistic power struggle have been playing out in entire Ukraine and Crimea for almost two decades, which led to creation of many far-right groups among Ukrainians and Russians.

    It is sad and depressing that we collectively see this conflict like a football match, picking a side according to our ethnicity, religion or political orientation, and we generally want Ukraine wins the war. In truth, there is no winning in this war. We should be talking about possibility of a diplomatic solution to bring this sensless war to an end. That means we and our leaders need to demonstrate more wisdom and not try to liberate this territory, because liberation would have disastrous consequences for the long-term stability of Europe. Be the voice of people and contribute to peace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyHK1QpP8uA

  9. Shame on ukraine – ukraine is winning so why do they have to do this – disgraceful.

  10. Not sure why Russia is mad, it's not even their territory. 😂

  11. You are forgetting one thing my dear American friends the only two atomic bombs used in all of human history. until proven otherwise, they are neither the Russians nor the Arabs nor the Chinese nor the Africans. Stop making the world believe that you are here to liberate the people. the United States has waged more war outside its borders in 200 years than the Chinese in 3000 years. Just give me the name of a war you won besides landing in Europe in World War II. Stop positioning yourself as the police of the world, your foreign policy has been sowing discord for too long. This policy divides more than it federates. I am a Westerner but I say it without any problem the West does not have the monopoly of morality and good.

    Whether you are Democrat or Republican your world view is based on the fact that the USA will export the "good" in the world. Good is not Coca Cola. You don't have 3 centuries of history, it's as if children were teaching their parents about life. Putin is no angel far from it. but do not forget that the Nobel Prize winner Obama is one of the American presidents to have done the most war. Don't look at postures look at facts

  12. The guilty in the conflict is absolutely Ukraine. They are the ones who are bombing their citizens, who then are seeking refuge in Russia. The so called "refugees" coming to Europe are not even coming from conflict zones. They are merely economic migrants.

  13. the western media are liars run by the federal pigs

  14. this is the typical bs from the west,where is the ukraine forces but in retreat

  15. erase russia on the surface of the earth 💪💪💪

  16. Mis are begging a nuke

  17. "Russian / Ukraine tensions heighten"….. they're already at war! How much more heightened can they get? Stupid sensationalistic title.

  18. Still waiting for all these counter offensives…

  19. Get well soon for this hospitalized man, much respect.

  20. Don't worry the Russians and the United States is working on a deal to swap prisoners it will all be over soon. 😉

  21. NATO terrorists are only formidable when they are dealing with unarmed civilians.

  22. Stop saying with Russia and give the Ukrainians and the necessary equipment to be able to strike at any territory that is being used to launch attack on innocent civilians .

  23. NATO ..Time to fumigate! NOW..!

  24. World would be a better place if GAMERS runs it.

  25. They're already killing each other, tensions aren't getting higher.

  26. If you examine closely the before and after aerial photos, there 's a lot more than 8 damaged Russian fighter jets as some media reported. 19 fighter jets before the explosion, and now it appears that possibly only 3 are not damaged! By my count 16 have been damaged. "Russian-occupied Crimea has become a new flash point in the war with Ukraine. Fresh satellite images have shown devastation from explosions two days ago at a Russian air base in the peninsula. It is still unconfirmed what caused the blasts. Meanwhile, both Ukrainian and Russian forces appear to be stuck in a deadlock at the front lines in the southern Kherson region, but Kyiv has said it is preparing to recapture it. While Russia has reinforced the Kherson region, Ukraine hopes the US rocket systems that arrived in July could boost their chances."

  27. Pootin' is infallible and there must be no discussion, no debate permitted. Russia needed to destroy it's relationship with it's best customers for the people's national resources, trust Pootin'. Trade and cooperation with the West was bad for the Russian people, trust Pootin'. Pootin's hallucinations of imaginary nazis, and non-existent NATO offensive weapons cannot be questioned, just trust Pootin'. The good of Pootin's Russian elite who have robbed the Russian people of hundreds of billions for palaces, mansions, Yachts, and luxury western products is worth killing, destroying and dying for, trust Pootin'.

  28. Tension heighten? Really,? Have they been getting along in the past months?

  29. " drumpf wears granny panties "- melanianaia

  30. Today marks 110 years of Russia’s Air Force. The Air Force Day did not go without celebration. A Ukrainian Su-25 attack aircraft was shot down near Slavyansk ✨
