  1. Time will come when nearly everyone from all around the world will just spit russian people in the faces just because they're from russiaa. And I'm totally all for it. People in Ukraine go through a lot more than just having a little spit on their face.

  2. More sanctions and hate more problems will be for ppl

  3. Patton was right, should have nuked Russia back in 45 when we had the chance.

  4. Putin and Russia need to stop before total humiliation by the Ukrainians and World's humanity

  5. Russian soldiers from the 16th century

  6. Russian soldiers have a century long reputation for doing this. In Germany 1945 over 2 million women had this happen to them. Disgusting Russian military.

  7. The soldiers should be held responsible

If anyone hasn't watched the movie based on a true story watch it. It is the problem that grew in now todays world because of Russia. Movie is called. "The Whistleblower"

  16. It's scary,sick,tragedy,how those animals that they call themselfs humans could do this to another innocent human?

  17. 🤦The aggressor war criminals are Demented Joe Biden, Boris Johnson and Macron, they have an arsenal of missiles with nuclear warhead in Belgian, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Turkey, pointing at every major Russian city, now Joe Biden already put biologic weapons in Ukraine the USA pentagons have a chemical and biological weapon program for military used planted in Ukraine labs”. On top of nuclear, Chemical and biologic weapons Biden/Boris/Macron have a trillion dollars worth of missiles and combat jets in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland, now armadas of war carriers, destroyers are been set around the Russian oceans. Is not President Putin of Russia putting an arsenal of nuclear, biological and Chemical weapons surrounding the Unite States or Europe, is lunatics Europeans and UK with USA democrats with a dementia president provoking, and forcing Russia to use nuclear weapons to defend the Russian people so that they can have World War III

  18. So much brutal done by Russian soldiers is that a war killing peoples raping women n making children orphan n elderly homeless ? How could still putin denying till now ? Why not Apply NATO TO STOP TGIS WAR I PRAY FOR UKRAINE N PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING OVER THERE

  24. Ok, but you said so yourself, the guys were in civilian clothes! So how can you say, that they were positively Russian soldiers! It could have been anyone, acting like military? Not trying to downplay what happened to you, that is horrible, and should not happen to anyone.

  25. Critical thinking 🤔
    🇺🇸 My Country Feedback 🦅

    I have an Administration of Justice question.
    "What has the Ukrain ever done for me?"
    Or, what have they done for me recently?

    Sincerely,
    gospelgirl
