  1. Get those Russian soldiers out of the nuclear plant. Send them back to Russia.

  2. Stop the warnings and act, you have to stop the psychoclown protected by western governments in Ukraine.

  3. Doesn't wind blow east from Ukraine to Russia? Putin is about to be hoisted by his own petard. Bwahahaha!

  4. I hope Zelenskyy and his henchmen will be brought to justice for their numerous war crimes. When Ukraine is shelling a nuclear plant under Russian control, it's a step too far. It's called a nuclear terrorism. It reminds Hitler's Nero plan in 1945.

  5. IAEA need to tell all troops to get out. Do not bring your problems in that area. No politics! get out all of you.

  6. Human are the dumbest species on the planet. We create something so forbidden that can wipe us all out. Somehow we expect it to never be used against us.

  7. With these alone you will know that PUTIN is just senseless and a moron . A complete one

  8. Russia is the aggressor in Ukraine, if bombs are threatening the plant then Russia's is culpable, Russia needs to get out of Ukraine

  9. Swear at 0:56 it sounds like the woman said mother f er…. I'm sure she didn't and she wasn't even speaking English but….

  10. NOBODY CARES BUT AMERICAS PAWNS IE UKRAINIANS

  11. Several regions in Ukraine declared September 2 an official day of mourning. The result of the long-awaited Ukrainian counteroffensive is truly astounding. Ukraine lost only in this misadventure (in just two days) 1700 soldiers (that's only killed, the number of wounded is unknown), 63 tanks, 59 IFV, 48 armored trucks, 14 pickup trucks, four jets, three helicopters (all hardware is courtesy of Biden administration and Fed's money printing — inflation be damned) with exactly zero territorial gains. Zelenskyy regime is shelling a nuclear plant under Russian control. Such reckless war crimes can be committed only out of utter desperation. It reminds Hitler's Nero plan in 1945. I hope eventually Zelenskyy, Biden, BoJo and their henchmen will be brought to justice or justice will be brought to them .

  12. They didn't even go inside just outside

  13. Russia is disparate bet it's gonna blow unless we stop them! Our world depends on this man

  14. Zelensky try to stop the un inspectors from going in but he was rong good job inspectors you are brave the Ukrainian soldiers stop you from goin in and they start shelling to scare you away but good job and you found the culprit Zelensky that comic

  15. Why are people fighting in Ukraine when Putin is in Russia? RAISE PUTIN BOUNTY & STOP THE WAR.

    Why do Americans shoot 44 other Americans each day? PUT THE GUNS DOWN.

    Why hasn't Trump been charged with treason yet? JAIL TRUMP.

    Why do Americans ignore 1,071,792 Covid deaths? WEAR MASKS & VACCINATE.

  16. Bombing BY AZOV NAZIS, the Russians aren't shelling themselves.

  17. 33 – I'll keep me fingers crossed for a couple direct hits & a huge flash to follow. It'll solve so many issues and problems then we can all move forward to build back better – 33

  18. Their worst fears will happen it's obvious

  19. …who shells a nuclear power plant without desiring what you'd expect would happen…?

  20. I hope that everything is gone be alright. This war is actually overdated conflict for the "Soviet inheritance" coused by dissolution of SSSR. Similar to the senseless civil wars in former Yugoslavia in 90-ies which were de facto wars for the "Yugoslavia inheritance". Same the conflicts between India and Pakistan which are actually nothing more than the wars for the "British colonial inheritance".

  21. Kick Russia out of the UN security council.

  22. If it's owned by Russia like the inspector said the other day when they were wondering if the Russians would let him in, why is Ukraine shelling the plant. Then they say they aren't sure whose shelling it. Come on… Are people really this stupid.

  23. "On the morning of September 1st, the Kiev regime attempted a major provocation to disrupt the arrival of IAEA expert working group at  Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

    At 6:20 a.m., seven fast-moving motorboats landed on the coast of Kakhovskoye reservoir, three kilometres northeast of Zaporozhye NPP, with two sabotage groups of up to 60 people in total.

    The sabotage groups were detected and blocked in the drop-off area by Russian National Guard units guarding the territory of Zaporozhye NPP.

    Russian Aerospace Forces high-precision weapons strikes on a temporary deployment point of units of 93rd Mechanized Brigade near Chasov Yar in Donetsk People's Republic have destroyed over 100 nationalists and 15 pieces of military equipment.

    Personnel of units of 72nd Mechanized Brigade near Artemovsk in Donetsk People's Republic refused to carry out orders from the command, left their positions and went to the rear due to heavy losses, low weaponry and lack of fire support.

    Operational-tactical and army aviation, missile troops and artillery strikes continue against military facilities in Ukraine.
