  1. NATO says no, NATO is not interested in embracing Ukraine … Why would America want to encourage another world war in Europe? Why would America want to be involved in a civil war that could escalate into a nuclear holocaust? Ukraine has always been the cradle of Russia and it always will be. Putin isn't interested in destroying people on the ground, he wants an intact Ukrainian state independent of NATO, free of the threat of war. Ukraine has been poking the bear for years. Why encourage Ukraine to fight Russia under the impression of full Military support and then shy away (USA/NATO)? The the USA (CIA) are playing games and used Ukraine to start a Proxy War. They want to win a Soft war vs Russia by using Ukraine citizens as a shield. Very cowardly.

  2. Under the principles of equality and freedom of speech, I must say a few things that has stressed me. Iraq was invaded for the pure nature of weapon of mass destruction or in other words bio chemical weapons. To date, under every grain of dust or sand, the claim that has been made was never found. He paid the price with his life. However in ukraine today, we have confirmed reports that Russia has found 16 bio chemical labs. America has confirmed this. Does this mean that Volodymyr Zelenskyy President of Ukraine soul should meet saddam's in the hands of Putin and his soldiers or people? Saddam was murdered by super powers because no WMD was found by super powers and political leaders or investigators. However, if Putin does the same to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, would that also classed be a murder like sadam or a fair trial because WMD labs has been found on Ukrainian soil?

  3. Mr.Zelensky, would you like to say this to the world? "It is Russia that should accept unarmed neutrality." The Ukrainian people and the international community will agree. If the international community promises to screw this into sanctions against Russia, that is also a great achievement of the Ukrainian people and Mr. Zelensky's fight. So why not accept the demands of Russia's ceasefire conditions and ceasefire? Since the Japanese stated similar provisions in Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, the war has stopped completely and we Japanese people have lived in peace for 77 years.

  8. Dear God Jesus Holy Spirit, Please Love, Bless, and Explain, "How is Volodymyr Zelenskyy helping/supporting United States of America? Nancy Pelosi said in the news report – Ukraine's president and people are defining their democracy and USA's democracy. I don't understand. Yes, I am confused. Thanksgiving Thankful Thanks. Please Love, Bless, and Allow Poland, USA, and every person pray for YOUR Image of God to be healed and healthy. Yes. Thanksgiving Thankful Thanks. IN EMMANUEL ALMIGHTY Jesus of Nazereth NAME ABOVE ALL names. Amen love Gary Don Nicholas:)

  9. The outcome will be nothing, no one going to help him. It's already obvious, because his most trusted friends left him alone in his real fight despite of many calls to help him and his country. Unfortunately, the beautiful country is destroyed and the people Ukraine are scattered or perished. May God grant peace to Ukraine and it's people.

  20. Well Nancy I think Jet Aircraft would be a good idea so Zelensky can protect there airspace,Mr President a strong backbone wouldn't go amiss.

  21. He address US congress, British parliament, Canadian Parliament, EU parliament, but DID HE ADDRESS HIS OWN PARLIAMENT?

  22. They are fighting for American’s democracy?

  23. DEMOCRACY is on life support in America & many are acting like the Ukrainians did before Russia invaded & brutally attacked them; even President Zelenskyy was under the belief that it wasn't going to happen, Putin wasn't going to invade Ukraine, telling his people to be calm, making them feel as comfortable as possible that war was not going to happen, even getting pretty agitated with the United States & NATO when they were warning him & the Ukrainian people that Putin was planning to attack them, SOON; SADLY & UNFORTUNATELY, Zelenskyy & the Ukrainian citizens were DEADLY WRONG.

    WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!!!!!!
    The United States is being attacked from the inside by TREASONOUS RepubliCONS that have been COMPROMISED & that are only seeking more money & more power over the people of the United States and they think that turning America into an autocratic dictatorship ruled society will get them as much as or more money & power than the dictators & oligarchs of other countries; WAKE UP AMERICA, THERE ARE ENEMY AGENTS AMONGST US & WE MUST STOP THEM & THE TAKE DOWN OF DEMOCRACY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE & TOO LATE IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.

  24. Doing a "No Fly Zone" is impossible without the NATO going to direct war with Russia.
