  1. I hate him…Now the whole world knows his lies and drama…This is d reason he wasting everybodys time…Weakest creature on earth

  2. Significantly more pro Russia comments. Feels like they're back on targeted campaigns to try and sway public opinion

  3. it seems NATO wants a long war give Putin something rebuild your country this crazy let him save face negotiate

  4. Come on zelensky, more Ukrainian die everyday and you are still saying you will win, you are just like an ant standing on the shoulder of a giant and yet the giant could not even extend its fist to hit your mighty opponent. It just carry you but will not fight with you. Wake up zelensky. Stop lying, no one believed your propaganda anymore.

  5. Contradicts himself every other day

  6. Russia is a STRONG Nation !!!!
    We are brothers.

  7. Shalom! Mr. puppet-clown Zelensky !
    how many innocent Ukrainians have you scarified for money? Since military operations started? Is your oligarch boss satisfied with your role as 'puppet" president?
    Go back to Israel

  8. Who ordered military forces of Ukraine to hide within critical civilian facilities?

  9. Ya act like they haven’t been shelling and attacking the region for 8 years.. How about that Donbas Airport, did Russia do that too?

  10. Russia's Military Special operations Forces didn't destroy puppet–clown Zelensky.
    he should be grateful for that
    was he converted to orthodox-Christianism?

  11. Life as usual in La-La Land… nothing ever changes on NBC!🤣🤣🤡🤡Haven’t you heard of Azov’s safe ‘evacuation’ akin to the Stalingrad ’evacuation’? Haven’t you seen enough of crack cocaine infused Elensky? Hasn’t he begged enough for your money?
    HE SOLD HIS LAND AND PEOPLE. Two words could’ve prevented the endless death and misplacement, poverty and unaccounted arms…
    MINSK AGREEMENTS.

  12. Hope Zelenskyy is trialed in Moscow for war crimes soon

  13. Ukraine wants to become a member of the EU and should never be allowed to join ..Ukraine A country that doesnt accept ethnic diversity and other culture. PRESIDENT ZELENSKY stands by a law passed in Ukraine banning the teaching and speaking of the Russian language which in EU,, UK,, USA and other countries would be a violation of human rights and branded unacceptable
    PRESIDENT ZELENSKY stands by the ethnic cleansing that took place in DONBAS by his Ukrainian troops..
    PRESIDENT ZELENSKY stands by the nearly 15000 innocent men women and children murdered in DONBAS by Ukrainian soldiers BEFORE 24TH FEBRUARY..
    PRESIDENT ZELENSKY is a hypocrite and should be questioned about his single minded politics and terrible loss of innocent life in DONBAS by his troops upon people who afterall were Ukrainians

  14. Is he using green screen? his head looks strange.

  15. 1 second ago
    How can the excentric views of a man, suffering from facing his own upcoming mortality and short commings, want to leave a trail of death and destruction behind him, as an achievement of honor, and more importantly, how can a sane one world alliance allow one person to do this, I will never, never understand the purpose behind these needless deaths of innocents. Glory Ukrainians no matter where you are, in Heaven, Your Country or supporting from afar. Glory Ukraine.

  16. Not our country. Hello, got plenty of problems here. NBC, are you just totally useless or is the propaganda just super dandy for you?

  17. Hes an actor. He knows how to fake stuff, if not the case, then hes extremely stupid.

  18. For this kind of news that we “need to hear”, you shouldn’t monetize it. I’m not buying the scam solar power from a shell corporation.

  19. Like they always say ""one has to read the entire recipe before getting started"".

  20. Do you know what caused the war in Kosovo?( when US/NATO bombed Serbia in 1999 ) From the google: The immediate cause of the conflict in Kosovo was Slobodan Milosevic, and his oppression of the ethnic Albanians there for the preceding decade.

    In 2014, an unconstitutional coup (with the direct US support) took place in Ukraine. Since then US installed and financed pro – US government in Ukraine and Azov Nazi battalion bombed and tortured ethnic Russian civilians of Lugansk and Donetsk regions for 8 long years. Lugansk and Donetsk proclaimed their independence from Ukraine, just like Kosovo became independent from former Yugoslavia.

    Just before Russia started denazification operation, Ukrainian Army came to the borders of those 2 regions with the intention to annihilate pro-Russian population that is the majority in those regions. In 2014 Ukraine signed international Minsk agreement. This agreement consisted of a package of measures, including a ceasefire, withdrawal of heavy weapons from the front line, release of prisoners of war, constitutional reform in Ukraine granting self-government to Lugansk and Donetsk areas of Donbas . Minsk agreement has never been implemented…

    NATO expansion – is another reason. What do you think US would do if Russia decided to place army bases near Mexico/US or Canadian/US borders? And how about 26 US funded bio-labs across Russia -Ukraine borders where they developed highly dangerous bio -experiments using migration birds that fly to Russia from Ukraine.

    I could go on, but the World doesn’t want to see facts and the West propaganda throws lies after lies after lies…

  21. This guy is doing the exact same thing for almost 8 years. Keep on believing him, he's just another puppet of the "emerging" New World Order.

  22. zelensky sto the crying we are NOT sending anymore more to ukraine …enough already it is not our war !

  23. Come on Zelensky … this is war ffs … LMAO… that's wat happens when your in war, they shoot not jst bullets, but missles and drop bombs as well, mayb even laser and microwave beams and watever else arms they have. There is no rule that only rifles can b used in war, haha. Also, there is no rule that says u can't fire on civilian buildings, lol… soilders can hide in any buildings, therefore, no building is off target ffs.

  24. Wow, the narrative is really falling apart, Zelensky could try a hat and cane tap dance?

  25. Who want to burn his house you give more fire that's selensky did to his country shame on you western

  26. how about a thank you before you start asking for more money. how much is in your pocket?

  27. Yep were u expecting something different??? U are in war with a super power and u have no support from other nations in the same echelon as Russia like USA 🇺🇸 good luck 🤞

  28. 🔥NATO 2👎👎👎

  29. Tổng thống uckraine và nhân dân uckraine yêu mến. Mến chúc các bạn luôn bình an, kháng chiến thành công.

  30. Bet this POS isn't even in Ukraine….kind of like Biden isn't really in the White House, he's on a production set that looks like the oval office….facts
