If Russia dose a blitzkrieg on the Nazis that won't be good
The east of Ukraine is a different fight. It requires much heaver tanks, artillery, missiles. So far the Javelins, Nlaw, Stinger, AT4 has been instrumental in stopping the Russian army from taking Kiyv. More heavy weapons need to be transferred from German, French, British and Eastern Europe countries to not only hold a defensive line but go on the offence. Offensive action is the best defence. This is not Vietnam where US was fighting a limited war. The Russian war in Ukraine is now a full offensive war in Ukraine. Ukraine need the help of the entire world including those countries that have thus far stayed neutral. We are seeing unprecedented human suffering that has not been witnessed since WWII which I hoped to not see in my life time. This is a fight for the freedom of not just of a nation but the very foundation and ideals of democracy that made the world prosper at an unprecedented level and that this world has enjoyed for more than 50 years. The fall of Ukraine will be the fall of civilization as we know it and will set the world back 50 years. When our children look back 50 years from now they will say we safe guarded their safety and prosperity by decisive action and by a unity of the world that is seldom seen today in the 20th century. It is not just a fight of US, Europe, Australia, Canada but it is truly a fight that will bring the family of the human race together to stop tyranny and raise the flag that all nations and peoples stand united as one against tyranny and oppression. I wish to thank all those past, present and future who gave their lives for us in armed forces with deep gratitude.

russian army is the most disgraceful army in the world – it shoots civilians, rapes, loots, murders! Same like ISIS. Putin wears a jacket for 18,000 dol., his soldiers in Ukraine steal bras and panties for their wives.

PUTIN, barbaric criminal
Putin is a great barbarian killer.
He must immediately stop his inhuman war!
He has already done too much harm and caused too much suffering! The respected Russian people should not approve of his madness and immediately overthrow him from the throne.
This criminal is a real shame for all Humanity in the 21st century.
It should be locked up now (for life) so that no more horrors can be done.
We solemnly appeal to all people of good will in Russia and other countries to respond promptly. The danger is too great!!"

Warrior clans like Russian speaking Cossacks have a loose nut somewhere in their heads. The Cossack soldiers fight on defending pre-destroyed steel plants of Mariupol in 2022. During ww2, an additional 400000 Cossack warriors died by defending pre-destroyed factories of Stalingrad. The same thing is happening in Russian speaking city of Mariupol in the two rebel region of Donbass. I would rather sign a peace treaty saying Kyiv will not join the non terrorist group NATO-OTAN for 100 years. Once the peace treaty is signed, it will usher in peace and stability. Nearly all top 20 cities of Ukraine are Russian speaking cities, according to a comment in youtube by a person named
"Hello from Kyiv". Gazprom official sez gas supplies through pipelines will restart very soon if Poland and Bulgaria puts it in writing that their economies are in shambles (a word used by President Obama),then the gas supply through pipelines of gas and heating oil will restart almost immediately. Gas from Gazprom pipelines will be freely given to all citizens of Poland and Bulgaria. Gazprom sez Warsaw and Sofia just has to write to Gazprom saying they cannot afford the low prices gas and low priced heating oil and to write a copy of the same letters to the press and reporters that their economy is in shambles for gas supplies to re-start almost immediately and for receiving free gas.
The world must admit Russian military power How come ?? where 1 country russia vs NATO country where is led by America which is said to be a superpower but in fact America dared to play a gang. America should be ashamed to interfere in other countries' problems. here we can see that the Russian military strength is far above the American military strength … bravo russia protect your country's sovereignty make the world balance by reducing the power of nato allies the most powerful in the world Russia is a Soviet heritage country that is highly respected by the world we are from Indonesia

..
Russia's offensive can't slow much, as it is currently stalled along most of the front!
UK queen and American presidents should kiss Putin feet, Putin is 21 century god .20223ZALLOUT40NALLOUT.
Call it a siege
Offensive ?!?
Omg it's world war 3 ,I guess Richy rich isn't going to be greedy much longer ,awwh
Zelemsky, Porochenko and etc. they are responsible for everything bad that has happened in Ukraina. Zelemski had to stop the genocide of the people of el Dombass (14,000 civilian victims) in time. Zelemski is responsible for all the deaths in Ukraine because he provided the people of Ukraine with human shields to provoke World War III. 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇪🇸
Russia, conducting war on Ukraine for some reason in personal. but how dare you rape young Ukranian girls in Ukraine… no nation that did injustice to girls especially hu raping flourished, see Srilanka's situation now…. learn lesson. conduct war don't rape innocent girls…. RUSSIA WILL BE SURELY CONE DOWN TO DUST if your army continues raping…MARK MY WORDS
Even Mikhail Gorbachev is going to be very disappointed about this. It's understandable that you got people who are good Russians, and you got people who are bad Russians. Even Nikolai Volkoff would be upset about this, since he detested Soviet communism.
The first casualty of War is truth. The evil neocons instigated this war.
We are all support Russia only
The west provoked this military operations of Russia.
After Russia, Ukraine is the second largest agricultural supplier in the world. If these cultivation areas are eliminated, nutrition will become really really expensive. We are talking here about at least a sixfold increase in all prices for food.
And the stupid screech "war" again and once again understand nothing…, nothing at all.
WHEN LOVE ISNT ENOUGH, YOU GOTTA GET TOUGH. THE WORLD IN SOLIDARITY WITH RUSSIA'S DEFENCE.
我在中国深圳（China），正遭受恐怖打击！🆘
What a scumbag of a leader. Would sacrifice his own people to a superpower hostile takeover just to save face to the sjw's in America.
Not slowing ?
U told us Ukraine was winning.
Guess they're losing
The time for negotiation is long over. Talking will only delay peace. It is time to defeat Putin with a show of strength that he cannot deny in front of the Russian people or the world. History will show either the western nations are weak or the western nations are united and stronger together. One cannot back down or negotiate with terrorists or dictators. A win in Ukraine is a win for all the people and countries that hold democracy dear to their hearts. If we the western free world fail Ukraine the consequences of emboldening dictators who feel they can invade other countries at whim and murder civilians is great. The line of decency must draw and defended or those who died to defend our freedom in WWI and WWII will have died in vain. They cry out to us through history to stand strong and steadfast to defend all that is good and decent in this world. My God bless those who are standing with Ukraine and the Ukrainian civilians and soldiers who are dying daily.
This is a fake war. Its all been orchestrated by people behind the scenes with power over both Putin and Zelenskyy. The Ukrainians have been bombing themselves all the time and staging photos of bombs and things. Look up Zelenskyy atrosity photos and look very carefully at how the soldiers are looking at him in some of them. Because its all just an act. They are very angry. Also many are looking at the floor ashamed. I'm suprised they haven't assassinated him already. I'm sure that is a concern of his. That a revolution happens or something.

1 year ago To be honest, when I found out I had herpes/cancer, I was completely confused because I didn't know what to do and I was worried about how this incident would affect my relationship. That was until I met Dr. Okosodo, who helped me regain my health and maintain my relationship. you are the best sir thank you
In 60 AD Apostle Saint Andrew traveled to the area of Kiev, preached, and said, one day a great city would be built here with many churches to the glory of God. Today there is a church to Saint Andrew in Kiev. The peoples in the area were Slavic. Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv, three brothers and the sister Lybid founded Kiev in 482 AD, Kiev was named after the older brother Kyi. Kiev the older brother was King. Herodotus wrote that Hercules had founded this land.
The Rus were Viking tribes that settled peacefully in Kiev as far back as 750 AD with the Slavs there, 400 years before Moskva existed. The name Russia, coming from the city Moskva, has no connection to the RUS. Russia coming from Moskva started with Batu Kahn much later as a vasal under Mongolian rule. All the early Czars were Mongolian and of no connection to the RUS. The Rus were with the Slavs to the south in Kiev. Moskva were Finnish Urgic Tribes; Mosk means cow and Va water, which are Finnish names. There was no RUS there. The ethnic background of Moskva is Finnish-Urgic and Mongolian. The Rus developed the religion, city Kiev, alphabet, churches, and had its saints. The founder of Kievian Rus (800) or the Rus was a Viking named Askold or Oskold (Norse) from Sweden; not Oleg as in the Russian story. Kievian Rus exists long Before Novgorod and Oleg’s arrival there. Askold is the Slavic name. Oskold, the first King of Kievian Rus was in Kiev before Oleg in Novgorod. Oskold had 200 ships and 20,000 warriors. Oskold was baptized in Constantinople (128 years before Volodymyr) and sent the first bishop back to Kiev. Oskold and Dir were the first Dynasty of Kievian Rus. Askold rules from the 40-60s and Dir to the 80s. Askold is buried in Kiev and the first Kievian Christian King & Dynasty. Oleg followed coming from Sweden through Novgorod and was a pagan. Russia as named today started in the city of Moskva over 400 years later after Kievian Rus or Rus. From Kiev, the capitol of Rus, Kievian culture was spread, much like the Greeks Hellenized the known world, or like the British anglicized the world by the English language. This process does not make Moskva to become RUS in as much as Persian are not Greek. How we are misled by a name; Russia. The capitol of the RUS has always been Kiev. There is no other RUS and no RUS in Moskva. Many say Ukraine began recently; but the culture of the RUS is Kievian RUS, both culture and ethnic background. Ukraine is a name given by Poland meaning outer lands. The land of the RUS before the Mongolian invasion was very large. The name RUS is a Norse name which means men that row; there are no men that row in Moskva. So Moskva adopted the name Russia while being a Mongolian vassal, essentially traitor to the RUS; and all the Czars were Mongolian-Finnish. The Culture of the Mongolian was centralized power, and that cultural imprint was passed on to present day Russia. Ukraine’s real name should be Kievian RUS, or Kievskarus! Russia began in Moskva by Batu Kahn and Novgorod conquered much later, still no connection to the Rus.
Putin & Lavrov should be ashamed of themselves, the USSR was an occupation; it never had the status of a sovereign state and due process of law that would be associated with a free society. Even today the mentality of the gulag exists. There is no freedom of press and speech, people are arrested for speech, there is no due process of law, and the religion is state run making it a totalitarian theocracy. As such, it did not deserve to exist in a free world; and history has shown such totalitarian organizations fail over time and author in many gulags. The true culture of Russia is Finno-Ugric and Mongolian, having nothing to do with the RUS (Kievian), expect borrowed as in the sense of Hellenized or Anglicized "forms" as a comparative reference. The centralized form of Russian politics is a very Mongolian imprint on culture. The actions of Putin seem to be another Mongolian invasion of Kiev; here I suggest as to the correct metaphor. I believe so. Putin & Lavrov insistence to have purview over eastern Europe also seems like paying tribute to the Mongolian Horde. Moskva started as an agglomeration of Finnish tribes, combining a Finnish name meaning cows water and developed by Mongolian culture. Mosk means cow and Va means water. The RUS are men that row, Vikings, Norse, established Kiev 400 years before (750 AD) Moskva even thought to exist. The name Russia for current nation is totally inappropriate. The current Russia started in Moskva; how misleading is the name Russia coming from Moskva that has no connection to the RUS. All the lands should be returned to Kiev; the West of Russia to Finland, and the East to Mongolia. Russia’s place on the globe appears as a temporary aberration in my view. To use threats of Nukes publicly strikes at the heart as adolescent behaviour; surely any nation or person that issues such threats and being an ally to such while not even having war imposed on them is not fit to rule. This would include allies of Russia. Oh yes, I remember, Russia didn't invent the bomb, they stole it in the 1940's and gave it to Kurchatov. Russia struggles with an identity crisis since its beginnings unoriginal to the ethnic groups. Its errors are numerous, 50 million killed by Stalin in WW2, allied to the Nazis to kill the Poles for their defeat in WW2, Holodomor where millions of Ukrainians were killed and grain stolen, and constant antagonist with Europe. We even have the Holy Mother announcing Russia’s errors at Fatima. Russia is a Mongolian culture and all the first Czars were Mongolian and Batu Kahn is the author.
Oskold was the grandson of Ragnar the king of Sweden, his name is old Norse and spoke old Norse, the name Rus is old Norse, he settled peacefully in Kiev and the Slavs made him king, he brought Christianity to Kiev with his son dir…his burial mound is where St Nicholas church is built, Oleg wasn’t even in Novgorod when this happened, and Oleg is not a Rus nor old Norse name. The Slavs called Oskold the name Askold. After came Dir, Oleg was a pagan who assassinated Dir, Oskold becomes the first dynasty…later when the line of kings get to Vladimir, he is captured at a trading post by the Mongols, the post is called Moskva, and the king killed. Moskva as a city was a Mongolian invention, and Novgorod becomes a part of that Russia by conquest, although having nothing to do with the Rus. Oskold line is Ragnar, ironside, Oskold from the King of Sweden Ragnar. Oleg is via Rurik coming much later. The accounts of Oskold are within the time, Al Mamun an Arab writer of the time wrote of Oskold, the Russian chronicles come hundreds of years later. In much the same way accounts of relevant history are better understood by those of the times, much like the Bible, dating to the original times makes the account authentic. The Russian chronicles are merely a tale and inaccurate.
Kiev was a city over 1000 years before Russia even existed. Kiev was Kievian Rus before Novgorod and when Oleg arrived. Putin is kidding himself if he thinks any part of Ukraine belongs to Russia. We can see that Israel belongs to the Jews, similarly all the lands around Kiev of Kievian Rus belong to Kiev as a single nation and city state. Russia's beginnings are a wanting child begun as a captive insurgency having nothing of its own; a captive state that was reeking in servitude to Mongolia and invented by Mongolia. The entire culture of Russia from Moscow is Mongolian centralized power, a pagan culture of no empathy and Christianity. The Christianity is tainted as a state religion or theocracy and politicized. History is often obscured by being written by the ones in charge. The history of Ukraine has been obscured by the Soviet Occupation and cultural appropriations. Moscow in an attempt to appropriate a history not its own, rewrote the narrative of history to cover up its compromised origins; Kiev and Ukraine is a history much older and more civilized; making contributions to civilization. Russian despotism becomes the blueprint, foundation & model for every despot nation, look at its allies; the error of its ways has spread throughout the globe; much like the message from the Holy Mother at Fatima. Those that are sympathetic to Russian atrocities can find similarities in their own histories. Ukraine has a democracy at a local level Moscow never had and fears. Russian boundless ignorance is a type often found in the poorest of nations, and usually the poorest have a history of the hardest tyrants over them that also inflict poverty, physical and spiritual, on others they attempt to subjugate, a reflection of their own lives, an abomination of desolation.
Askold was in Constantinople in 860 and Oleg arrived in Novgorod not until 862. The Arabs referred to Askold as the Slavic King or King of the Slavs which he had been for a while. Pontius says Askold brings Christianity to Kiev from Constantinople and a bishop. Ragnar the Norse King of Sweden was born in 767 AD, his son Bjorn ironside was born in 796 AD, and grandson Oskold (Askold) was born in 820 AD. Askold arrived in Kiev in 840 and had a son Dir, Both become King and the first Christian dynasty. Askold dies and gets a burial mound in a park in Kiev. Dir follows as King. Dir is assassinated by Oleg who is a pagan. Nobody knows who Rurik is or who the father is . Oleg is a generation away from Askold. Olga of Kiev builds a church on Askold’ s burial grounds. Pontius of Constantinople says Askold brings a Bishop and Christianity to Kiev. Russia much later is a Mongolian invention…..
WW3 is coming.. Putin won’t stop At Ukraine.
Let's go Russia 🇷🇺! 🇷🇺
Kick NWO ass!!
Great people great country are act like dump moving into nuclear war
When will we hear the 24/7 reporting that this entire thing is Joe Bidens fault? Had this occurred under ANY Republican that would be the narrative from the neo globalist deep state traitors of Democracy that call themselves the Media.
Nobody's ever had a "friend like me"
I should be there…
The Ukraine war is an European issue. Why are we even there spending billions of dollars. Is the Europeans helping us stop the illegals at our borders.
Here is the truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2P9AmGcMdM
