  1. Russia is winning. Stop lying so much.

  2. Girl people bean seeing true u all by now how u all try belittle Russia army but we seeing different from what u all trying to sell to us as viewers

  3. So you have chosen… DEATH.

  4. " zelensky vows not to retreat" – I bet he is not fighting there himself, is he? Always easy to " not surrender" when its not you facing certain death.
    I spit on him.

  5. Both trump and Baiden failed in Ukraine. That means that US$ as a reserve currency is over. America will encounter China-Russia-Iran forces – in America as Berlin and Paris will be seized within a week.

  6. Fight for freedom ukraine from a shadow rusia ..keep fighting .if you win this war many ex rusia country will be same way to fight when their land try to takeback from rusia

  7. Once encircled they can’t retreat they will either surrender or die. It’s up to them. I’ll bet they surrender.

  8. Peak of western propagandas….
    Ukraine is losing still,western media do not beleive that,,, ukraine is loseing…..
    😂😂😂😂""Bcoz their prediction will be shameful….

  9. How much russian soldeirs die.thirty thousand… on ukraine side Not a single soldeir. .reporter get out of DREAM LAND

  10. If your encircled. You cant retreat .you ave to give up. Are you will be dead. So pick your choice

  11. 🇮🇳dia❤❤🇷🇺ssia, Russia fought for India in year 1971 war with NATO/Pakistan. American gave best weapons to Pakistan but India won.

  12. 3 sides is NOT encircled, the occupiers have been saying this same thing for weeks "oh in 2 or 3 days we'll have taken the city" I don't think they will be able to take it they can't cross the river to complete the encirclement, Ukraine has not retreated from the city and it's not encircled!!! The Ukrainians have used Bhatmuk to make the Invaders pay dearly for every inch and cause massive casualties on the Rashist occupiers losing 600-1000 a day for months, just imagine that!!! Also the Ukrainians are smashing tones of equipment, the Invaders have lost over half of their total tanks and over 3k artillery pieces in this war. And Wagner has lost 30k by themselves in Bhatmuk so your 20k total number is way off because add 15k Rashist regulars and it's closer to 45k and that's KIA that's not even counting wounded, missing or POWs. All of that just trying to take one small providential sized city that's how desperate the great super power is for any kind of victory and that's sad..There is NO way they can keep taking these kinds of casualties in men and equipment and by the spring the Ukrainians will launch their offensive and smash the Rashist occupiers in an all out assaut once and dial for all and what's left of wagner will be crushed!! The Ukrainians are hungry for retribution on these CRIMINALS that just come to their country violating it raping and pillaging bound to no laws or government they don't even fight for Russia but just for a few rubles, so the Ukrainians are salivating at the chance to finish these savages off.

  13. Why should you fight twice.stay

  14. Tanks are there trick on Russian.

  15. Mossad agent Zelenky is throwing as many white Slavic men into the meat grinder as he possibly can!

  16. You dont ask someone how long they can hold out if its a stalemate. And ukraine doesnt even have the ammunition to match their casualty claims anymore…

  17. You look real nice Kara phillips.

  18. The fact you want to discuss Russian casualties but didn’t mention Ukrainians casualties… it’s a meat grinder. Ukraines are senselessly dying for Biden and nato.

  19. 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

  20. Stop with your fake news, there is no way Ukraine will retake Bakhmut. NATO president Jens Stolenberg already said Bakhmut will fall to the Russians.

  21. Resilient ukrainian fighters are playing rambo this time. “Do something or die for nothing” – Rambo IV
    Ukraine, keep it up, NATO is behind your back.

  22. What a stupid loss of lives, no common sense or peace plan, incredible that anyone thinks Ukraine can win this war, massive troop losses on both sides but not reporting the Ukrainian losses as the western propaganda media is so controlled that they can't or won't report it, Sad really!

  23. How can a surrounded ARMY retreat??? Lol! These journalists are NOT even fit for you tubers!

  24. Mainstream media 😂😂😂

  25. Just like the steel workers at Mariupol.

  26. This is pure comedy going on at this point! Tell us the real story for fucks sake.

  27. Zelensky won't let them retreat, it's like he's a Russian double agent.

  28. Stop war,,,,,,,,,, rescue humanity😭😭😭😭

  29. Ukraine's forces are done. Their numbers are dwindling.

  30. The fake western news reports with their pro Ukraine spin that doesn't help in bringing an end to this war when u have the enemy surrounded how can they retreat didn't the Russians blow up a key bridge

  31. EVIL EVIL EVIL Ukrainians that DONT want to be there are pushed to the frontlines NO TRAINING NO AMMO NO SUPPORT..

    The CHANCE of surviving Bakmuth which will be AS the URK troops themselves a 30/70..

    Not me the UKR Telegram channels are saying that and some saying 10/90 where they are..

    ZELENSKY will be killed or exiled to the US ..UK or France..

  32. They’re surrounded, so how would they withdraw? Those poor Ukraine soldiers, being sacrificed for Joe Biden’s handlers hubris.

  33. Surrounding it is a terrible idea those troops will be attacked from two sides and just get bleed to death over time!

  34. Not calling my stepdaddy a babyraper

  35. Julie lemay Edison is doing molesting cornelious' and Cornelia vaughn
