  1. Such young doctors are truly deserving of the greatest medals and honour

  2. Night vision is not basic equipment in these types of armies.

  3. We think nato is well prepared to sustain all ukraine necessity for long

  4. First few are real comments, the rest are Russian trolls, bots and MAGA idiots. Give Ukraine whatever they need to end this war. Full power to kick Russia out and be done!
    🇺🇸🇺🇦

  5. we don`t want to give our hard earned tax money to wars , enough !!

  6. RUSSIAN 🇷🇺 THE BEST MILITERY 😘

  7. There's scams to collect money for Ukraine!!! Be careful!!!

  8. I guess we could trade them basic needs for baby formula. 🤔

  9. A simple solution for two birds in one stone: the US federal government should declare assault rifle and ammo buyback, and ship this all to Ukraine

  10. Ukrajina win propaganda.war thet is all real war is winer russia.richard h black macgregor ritter skott henry kissinger. Nobady win war on propaganda only

  11. Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation
    John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have an everlasting life $$$$$$

  12. America is a terrorist country destroying and killing millions in the middle East Asia and Mexico, stupid Ukraine is destroying itself by supporting comedian pet of west

  13. Mr Putin, for the past 6 months you have wrecked havoc on Ukraine! You are a disgrace to the Russian people whom you claim to lead. Your soldiers are butchers who you have cut loose on innocent people. History is full of tyrants like you, including Nebuchadnezzar's son Belshazzar, who treated the Jews abominably. You may remember that he threw a party where a hand appeared writing on a wall. If you turn around you will also see a hand writing on your wall written in the blood of Ukrainian people. Any person from outside your tightly controlled kingdom will tell you that your days are numbered! You have been weighed by humanity and found wanting. **Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin ***

  14. The truth this War will Not end Well the Whole World will eventually be pulled in.There will be No Winners & the very survival of Mankind is at stake. 🙄

  15. 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️SUPPORT UKRAINE!!! THEY ARE WORTHY!!! – MOST BRAVEST NATION LOVE YOU ALL❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸

  16. to all the russian trolls/clowns 🤡🤡🤡🤡here go back to russia SLAVA UKRAINE ki ll all russian soldiers we ❤you

  17. Not all Ukrainians want to fight Russians until the last, especially those that respect their Slavic race. But mainstream global media and their own pro zog government seem to be pushing them into the war even forcing it upon Russia
    These malign actors are the true culprits and the Eastern Slavs their victims

  18. Wish trump
    Still the president he’ll do more to defend Ukraine!!

  19. I've got a drone, I'll send it.

  20. A prayer for salvation:

    Lord,
    I know that I am a sinner and I know I will never be able to repay you for your sacrifice. I ask you to forgive me of my sins and come into my heart. I want to walk beside you and bring glory to your name. I will put all of my trust and faith in you Lord. I love you and I thank you for all of your grace.
    In Jesus name I pray
    Amen

    If you have prayed this prayer and truly meant it in your heart ,
    God’s Word assures you that you now have eternal life.
    See John 6:37 and John 10:27-29

  21. Oh yes sir, It is only natural, practical and a very needed items of a country and the people are, the BASIC Needs of Food, Shelter, Clothing, Medecines and Sanitary items in PEACE times. WHAT more in a WAR time ???? These are the needs, usually Neglected and forgotten by most country LEADERS. Just hoping that, leaders help their OWN first, before spending a lot for others. Just an opinion ONLY & saying based on News/Media REPORTS. Good Luck ALL. Ty.

  22. It's in America's interest to support Ukraine. They are keeping Putin in check which is something US has failed to do. They are giving their lives so Americans families don't have to. Every penny sent is a bargain and makes Americans safer and better off in the long term. I appreciate things are though now but lack of US social programs isn't ukrainian's fault.

  23. winter is coming! blankets, winter clothes, etc.

  24. Give 40 billion to the immigrants they need food and house and snap..disability

  25. Russia attacking Ukraine is making me worry that China might try the same thing depending on the outcome of how NATO reacts to the attack.

  26. I can pull up a video of Vladimir Putin sitting there telling you Ukraine he's not the bridegroom oh they should have been ready because no he's not their friend he is a serial killer with the nation

  27. Some Ukrainians are selling Russian militaira items to people into the US. I got me a Russian uniform

  28. The Ukrainian people should just “act” their part like they have all they need. An actor as a President and his staff of actors make a good show of their reality TV government propped up by the EU, UK, and USA. I don’t see anywhere in the script the Ukrainians doing anything but celebrating in the streets. Crowd sourcing for needs? You mean selling US weapons on the black market. Disgusting Western propaganda.

  29. Just let Russia have the country and end the war your gonna lose

  30. Zelenski is a total parasitic creature. It reminds the Vietnam war when the South vietnam screamed at the US for rescue at the end and before gone under. Zelenski knew the game, he just told the EU what to do or he would give ukraine to RS. The West is just bobbling its head over the water line for air but still digs out the last pennies for zelenski.

  31. No more money for other countries at war!!
    Start CARING about OUR SENIORS AND DISABLED,. STOP KEEPING US IN DEEP POVERTY. YOU MADE PROMISES TO REFORM SSI/SSDI.
    KEEP YOUR PROMISE
    NO VOTING FOR OUR SENIORS,. YOU WILL LOOSE OUR VOTES IN NOVEMBER!!!

  32. some ukraine citizens keeps saying they were not prepared and never thought Russia would invade when the war started years before and the videos are on you tube

  33. What we ain't Santa Claus we all know all that money come from tax payers we have our own needs wtf

  34. What happened to the billions we sent them

  35. 700,000 is a lot more than 100,000

  36. Russia needs to make Ukraine pay for even thinking about counter offensives, Ukraine wouldn't be successful with anything short of US weapons supplies, Russia should utilize whatever means necessary to stop Ukraine cold and send them back Westward…!!!

  37. We care more about Ukraine’s border than our own.

  38. 60 years needed in Chicago. War is good for nothing. Stop 🛑🛑🛑 the killings worldwide. For God will stop all of us. This world was made and belongs to him.behave world.

  39. I've been needing basic needs for 7 years.

  40. That's what the EU is for. America needs to. We pray for yall but whos praying for blacks in the Hells of America.. I'll wait 🤔

  41. Woooooo woooo, from the restaurants dance floor to help the owner get pants for war.

  42. Biden will starve America to death by sending constant supplies

  43. We're did our tax money go? Right in the hands of there government or maybe Hunter and not to the people who need it!!!
