  1. Typical Putin, ask my brother if I'm a liar. 🇺🇦🇬🇧

  2. У моей семьи жены и дочери отрезали голову русские окупанты. И вот моя история. Только пожалуйста прочитайте до конца.: Доброго вечора. Мене звуть Арсен, я родом із України. Все, що пишуть кремліботи путлера або агенти кремля – це неправда. Я живу на вулиці Степана Банденри будинок 29. Щодня нас обстрілюють російські оккупанти. Але ми тримаємося тому, що у нас у підвалі є польські військові, які захищають нас від цих окупантів. Щовечора я приношу Нашим польським захисникам свою доньку для тимчасової втіхи, щоб моя дочка спала з польськими солдатами, а моя дружина працює з американськими найманцями. Моя дружина каже що американці в плані втіх та задоволень краще ніж німецькі найманці. Я сам щоночі підробляю чистильником туалету для арабських найманців, які живуть у нас у Києві. Наш український народ обов'язково здобуде повну перемогу над росією. Ми Українці народ сміливий відважний і відстаємо нашу перемогу над путіним. Перемога буде за нами. Ще я за нетрадиційну сексуальну орієнтацію. У нас в Україні усі чоловіки за ЛГБТ співтовариство. У нас усі чоловіки особи з нетрадиційною сексуальною орієнтацією, а всі жінки активно вступають у зв'язок із арабськими найманцями. Всі наші діти дуже люблять працювати за їжу, люблять спати коли у ліжку знаходиться найманець з будь-якої країни світу. Ми любимо витрачати гроші на спа салони та салони за доглядом за шкірою. Це все тому, що наші доблесні наймані військові зі США дуже люблять гладку шкіру на наших українських тілах. Ми обов'язково переможемо у цій війні, бо ми Українці доблесний народ. Перемога буде за нами. Слава Україні, героям слава. Нехай Україна буде символом дикої рослини під назвою Елда. Вона росте лише на свободі. Тому Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. ЄлЄлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єїна. Єлда

  3. There were no Ukrainians on board the plane. It was delivering a supply of S-300 missiles and other military supplies. The plane only had 4 crew members, and they were all Russians. Russia lied yet again.

  4. I expect Ukraine are employing their own Hannibal Directive.

  5. This is not the first time Ukraine has shot down planes.

    in 2001, a Russian passenger plane carrying tourists was shot down. The Ukrainians denied this for a long time. Then they admitted it.

    In 2014, a Malaysian plane was shot down. The West conducted the investigation so that even the Malaysians were excluded from it.

    They did everything to make sure there were no traces.

    in 2022, a helicopter carrying a Ukrainian minister was shot down in Kyiv.

    Now the Ukrainians shot down this plane and will deny it.

  6. Former Pentagon Adviser Col. Douglas Macgregor said Wednesday that at least 400 Americans have died in Ukraine and accused authorities of the United States of concealing this information.

  7. Il-76 Provocation ‘Setting Zelensky Up for Fall at Time of US’s Choosing’

  8. 😒😮😮😮Russian IL-22 is used for military equipment transportation. Russian always lie. 😔😔

  9. HEADLINE: Il-76 aircraft crash. Russian VIPs were supposed to be on board, at last moment they were forbidden to board – Yusov

    QUOTE: "On board really had to be several official VIPs from the military-political representation of the aggressor state. Their names are known and will be named, materials will be provided as part of an international investigation. But at the last moment, the FSB actually ordered them not to board this board and use other modes of transport. This information has already been clarified after the incident occurred, "says Yusov.

    He also adds that russian rescuers were not allowed to inspect the crash site of the plane.

    "Representatives of the russian Ministry of Emergency Situations who came to the scene were actually expelled by representatives of the FSB and the military, and they were not given the opportunity to carry out, according to the protocol, an inspection of the place and localization of this accident," said the representative of the Defense Intelligence.

    Yusov also says that no remains of human bodies are visible in the video from the plane crash site. And only five bodies were delivered to the local morgue in Belgorod the day before.

    In other words, SOMEONE KNEW BEFORE TAKEOFF THAT THE PLANE WAS GOING DOWN.

    SET UP – FAKED. STAGED TO PROVIDE OSTENSIBLE JUSTIFICATION FOR EXTREME RUSSIAN RETALIATION.

    I CALL BS.

  10. Why isn't the news reporting the ineptitude of the UN and world leaders in stopping this human tragedy by diplomacy rather than feeding the military war complex?

  11. The Russians lost the plane, pilots & crew, and many weapons that were being transferred. I doubt it had a single POW. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

  12. Only ruzia is responsable of Ukrainian POWs on ruzian territory . Only ruzia – it's obviously. It's their territory. Where is the problem here ?

  13. They killed their own men. 😮

  14. Reliable MSM ostriches heading for the sand.

  15. Can’t believe how mainstream media twisting everything all the time !😁 Yes Zelensky is criminal and Washington supports all crimes same like in Gaza by Israel !

  16. I believe this channel, Ukraine is winning. 😅

  17. Russia did it end of the story!.

  18. The plane's dive was not 90 degrees to the ground but at roughly 45 -60 degrees. The plane and its contents, including people were thrown outward and predominately forward. The fireball (orange) in color is a deflagration of the fuel at a relatively low temperature and speed, not enough to destroy a human body. Humans are mostly water, and it takes a lot of heat and the right conditions for it to burn out completely. The videos I have seen of the crash site have shown two bodies and they are far from being "nothing" or even completely burnt. Hence, I can only conclude there were not 65 prisoners on the plane and likely only 4 to 7 max, otherwise the videos would have shown more bodies. – This is real life and not the movies. Bodies don't just vanish.

  19. Why does the media believe and broadcast Russian lies? Why give them the headlines? Seems so gullible.

  20. if you believe the russians then you;ll believe anything

  21. For sure all are russia and moscow is afraid to tell the families of those soldier

  22. proof ruzzia? the POW list had names of people ALREADY repatriated. A typical Ruzzian ploy. Putin lies, His troops also didnt shoot down that malaysian airliner, an investigation ruled ruzzia did it. Typical Ruzzia.

  23. Hi! I'm from Russia. Thanks to the many thoughtful people in the West who have already figured everything out, and not only with the plane. And the following information for the doubters: of course, there were agreements with the Ukrainian side. That is why the Russian board with Ukrainian prisoners of war left the Moscow region to conduct an exchange of prisoners of war. That's why it became possible to shoot down the plane. Russia did not protect him, knowing that there would be an exchange of prisoners of war. The blow was inflicted intentionally and purposefully. The enemy knew that this board was not used for military purposes, but for transporting prisoners. Exchanges are currently unprofitable for the Kiev authorities, since Ukrainians return from captivity and say that they were treated normally in Russia and the more people return, the more all propaganda of Russophobia collapses in Ukraine. I will tell you more: the armed forces of Ukraine committed a mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war held captive in the DPR, in Olenovka (Elenovka) on 07/29/2022. Among the prisoners in the colony were soldiers of the Azov battalion. The APU used the HIMARS system. By the way, have you ever wondered why the Western media is so afraid to tell you the truth?

  24. so according to Ukraine, Russia blew up the nordstream , their crimea bridge, their own buildings in Moscow, the missile that killed 2 farmers in Poland and now their own planes . 😂😂 THE DESPERATION OF UKRAINE IS HILARIOUS 😂

  25. Narrative control is what every side does.
    Real want media & leaders to stop using this as a point when uts done universally.
    More so want public to wise up.

  26. Watch the video. After they show the crash the camera aims up and there is a black cloud in the sky . I would Say it did get shot down from the looks of it

  27. Putin calling this a 'monstrous act' when he did EXACTLY the same thing to the plane carrying Wagner officers out of Russia. Killing 2 pilots and a stewardess as well as military.

  28. Imagine faking a whole war just to launder money
