  1. The inhabitants of Donetsk and Lugansk also had to take shelter when the far-right Azov militias attacked them in 2014.

  2. Wasn't it the NATO countries that looked on silently as the US destroyed the Anti- Ballistic Missile treaty?

    They stood by when Washington unilaterally withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. NATO allowed the U.S. to quit the Open Skies Treaty. Which made the agreement worthless as an effective mechanism for controlling military activities.

    Was it not NATO countries that took part in the bombing of Yugoslavia, the attack of Libya and the invasion of Iraq?

    For twenty years NATO led the situation in Afghanistan to the ultimate ruin of its people and then in billions of dollars of weaponry behind.

    For eight years Western Nations have ignored the killing and abuse of thousands of civilians in Southeastern Ukraine. They became accomplices to the genocide of the Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics.

    Why now so much Media attention?

    Males aged 18 to 65 are not allowed to cross the border and leave Ukraine. They are then given guns and ordered to fight. Does this sound like a Democracy?

  3. just remember the syrian refugee

  4. I hope they all make it out alive. Stay strong Ukraine ♥ ♥

  5. Narcissists in charge of russia and other countries wouldn't want to be determined unfit-per-narcissism to lead a country: but leadership and narcissism should be mutually exclusive; putin must have received a terminal prognosis from his doctors and wants to take Europe with him as he goes.

  6. It’s Russians living in Kiev not ukranians. False narrative. Ukro slang for the Russian cities Kiev as they started writing kyiv won’t go.it’s Russian genocide. Hopefully Kiev, Harkov, Odessa, Ekaterinoslav, Lvov will be liberated soon. It’s certainly not harkiv and not lviv, you nazis

  7. 😢 😭 😢 😭 😢 😭 😢 😭 lost words my prayer to Ukrainian innocent people 🇺🇦 will pray to stop the war 🙏 😢

  8. they wantet war för 7 years xD
    stygg yör äpp and New Äll-inn VVörLD ÖR-D€R vFv

  9. Wow. Poor Ukraine. Russia should be learn a lesson for real.

  10. (Matthew 24:3) "While [Jesus] was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: 'Tell us, when will these things be, . . . and of the conclusion of the system of things?"

    (Luke 21:10,11) "he said to them: 'Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;'"

    (Matthew 24:14) "And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."

    Soon.

  11. Her question, “Are you scare?” Seriously woman? Is this what you call journalism? People’s lives are at stake here and she has the audacity to ask such a dumb question.

  12. This is what happens when you voted for Biden and the Democrats; weak and incompetent president and administration that will do nothing. All America Allies should be concerned and prepare to defend themselves. Find trustworthy ally!!! Especially Taiwan, China will attack you next because America is too afraid to STAND UP!!!

  13. Still looks more tame than AMERICA

  14. Praying for the Ukrainian president who is sticking this out with his family and all his people and precious children! May God intervene at a time that is so needed!!! !Praying God protects you all from this horrid evil!! 🙏🙏🙏 Praying God puts an end to this and that heartless Putin !!!

  15. Dude at the end said “I just need to sit down and figure out how to use the gun” this is how u know that sh*t is messed up. Whiled he’s trying to figure it out, they already at his doorstep. It’s so sad. He didn’t ask for any of these. I will continue to pray for Ukraine 🙏🏿

  16. @1:28 my American jaw just hit the floor, 'good hunting' for that young man.

  17. Putin’s a coward! He would never invade a NATO member nation knowing the consequences of doing so.

  18. Prayers for Ukrainian people and soldiers from the people of the United States

  19. Good thing trump gave em a bunch of javalins

  20. "Keeve" 😂😂😂
    She must be parroting our genius former vice president.

  21. Wasn’t this a modern warfare 2 storyline?

  22. Send the transgender soldiers to fight Putin

  23. America should not support a country that flees when times are tough this moment shows russias that they can prevail and that needs to change

  24. Respect to the ones who are capable and willing to fight for there country together they can pull it off out numbered does bot matter look at history

  25. Funny how Biden lifted sanctions on the Russian pipeline earlier this year…….

  26. This is terrible. God be with everyone

  27. Peace to the ones who are fighting the rest are weak minded criminals letting there country fall

  28. F@ke NWZz.. We already had full scale 1nvasion of Ukr8ine. From Pe-l0si sun ,J0hn Kerry sun, M1tt R0mney's sun, and of course Byedum's sun have all been 1mplant3d as "b0awrd of d1rectors" in Ukr8yne energy… There's your 1nvasion.
    The real issue and reason for this drama, is because Ukr8yne is the m0ney laund3ring country for d33p st@te p0liticians' "foundations", and so they need to cover it up with war.
    Meanwhile it's all f@ke NWZ just because Russ1a protecting the acknowledged indepence of the outer regions, like "Donbass" which Ukr8yne was continually at war with. So All U ppl are totally m1sinf0rmed with S0ap 0per@ here….
    Meanwhile Russ1a said to have taken 4 out of 7 bio-wep0ns sites, which is probably what iz pictured. So 👎 no 1 don't believe the L1es.

  29. My prayers go out to everyone in the Ukraine. This is horrible

  30. The man at the end is brave but it also breaks my heart. An innocent civilian willing to risk his life to defend his country. I hope the best for him and Ukraine

  31. Men and woman play on there phones walk away with suitcase there “scared” for there families but they do nothing for there country

  32. Citizens of Ukraine stay strong. Sorry we in America have a brain dead president whose leaving Ukraine out to dry. Even after he and his crackhead son used you to make billions. Everyone thought Russia was going to smash Afghanistan in 2 days, back in the 80s. With their superior air force. But instead. Russian military ran with their tails between their legs. You can do the same Ukraine. Look like history is going to repeat itself. Countries are standing by and letting Putin take over one country at a time,like Hitler did in ww2. We don't join forces and stop Putin today. He will be knocking on our door tomorrow. This may not be our war today. It will be our war tomorrow.

  33. Yall start stocking food and amo this is 1000 percent the beginning of the end.

  34. NBC, this has been an issue for 6 years… 6 years of Russia making threats and amassing troops on the border after taking the Crimea.. Why start the story now, you warmongers!?!?!?!?
