  1. It was a cheap Chinese drone that took it out. Great job. When is Biden going to get off his arse and start the lend lease program and give Ukraine the 300km HIMARS missiles so we can take out the supply bridge from Russian mainland to Crimea. Take that bridge out and watch the tables turn in Kherson. Get it done Mr President. Winter is coming and stalemate for another year if we dont get this done asap.

  2. It would be nice to see Russia limp out of the Ukraine, tail between it's legs.
    Putin booted out of office. Sanctions continued until they show they can be a friendly nation. Big ask that one.

  3. Dangerous if russia declares it a US strike if the weapon is American on russian soil

  4. about time the word governments did the right and proper thing and made the blindingly obvious legal – Russia is a terrorist state. Lets get it labelled as such. Then the Ukrainians can use the sanctioned monies to rebuild their country.

  5. 👍 🇺🇦👍 🇺🇦👍 🇺🇦

    The ramifications of this war run much deeper than the impact it will cause to those directly involved in the conflict. It will reshape the world, as it is likely that other latent frictions between countries and territories will be activated as a consequence of the Russia-Ukraine situation. This war just opened an era of wars, small and large, between different peoples.

    UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently said that this war could easily become "the biggest war in Europe since 1945", and I agree. If countries with similar backgrounds cannot reach agreement between them, then how much more likely it is that several countries that have big differences and ancient conflicts may easily slip into war for no apparent justifiable reason.

    On a personal level, it saddens me to see how fate turns around and once again we find ourselves at war. I am sorry and restless since I have many students in Russia and Ukraine who are under threat and feel how the deteriorating situation is affecting them and the whole world. In Israel, too, I have many students who follow with concern what is happening in Eastern Europe, anxious about the fate of their family members and friends.

    My hope is that the manifestations of hatred between the Russians and the Ukrainians will stop soon, two peoples who have lived side by side throughout history. If it were still possible, I would give everything I could to silence, calm down, avoid the escalation, but this is impossible for now.

    There is not much that we can do at this stage. We can only long for peace and a ceasefire, talk about all parties showing restraint. The parties in conflict could follow the example of the Native American tribes who buried their hostility in a ceremony during which previously warring tribes agreed to settle their differences and live in harmony, and sealed their agreement by the chief of each tribe burying a war hatchet in the ground.

    Such a scenario does not look realistic under the current circumstances. Thus, above the forces of hostility, above the egoism and control as the driving forces of all the conflicts in the world, we can only raise a global prayer for peace, asking that we all get along with everyone. Because only in the power of connection and in the connection between our hearts, can a great positive force arise, a force that is able to unite all parties, to reconcile the haters, to awaken the truth in us all that we all belong to one soul. As it is written, “He who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace upon us…” (The Book of Job)

  7. Ukraine winning again lol

  8. How does Russia keep advancing with all these supposed losses they have taken? Norway has nuclear missiles on their subs to take out Russia within 30 minutes if any Nuclear action by Putin.

  16. Radioactive fallout will be spread across Russia, if there is an accident at the Nuclear Power plant ,because the prevailing winds blow out of the west in Ukraine! If Russia allows a accident to happen, this radioactive fallout will kill many Russian citizens! Only a Madman would take this risk with people's lives!

  17. GO UKRAINE! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦The ruthless russian communist dictator, enemy of FREEDOM and democracy, enemy of the World must be jailed for ever.

  18. Ya ya typical *the world's best liers Russian's dirty lies to the whole 9-yard plus.

  19. Demokkkrat voters killed those Ukrainians.

  20. luring the Russian army into defending Kherson, then attacking Russian bases in Crimea. now, the Russian army is confuse where to point their concentration of forces to defend or what to defend. Genius strategy from Ukrainian Generals. #Confuse your enemy, Psychological warfare with maximum effect on Russian hardware.

  21. Well done whoever has done this.
    Hope Ukraine takes over Crimea soon,

  22. I guess now russia becomes increasingly interested in peace talks.

  23. El Presidente Volodymyr Zelenskyy 2016 Playing Piano with Penis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oua0Puihrkc

  24. The peacekeepers of the Western World ought to be able to put together 1 – 2 million soldiers in Ukraine to push Russia back. Perhaps going all the way to Moscow. The real people needing liberation are the Russian citizens, from a tyrannical government. Russia has shown it's weakness and now is the time in history to put Russia away for good from future war campaigns in other countries land. There should be a lot more countries fighting in Ukraine, than just Ukraine. They all have a stake in a peaceful future. There may not be another time in history when Russia is so weak. Now is the time to strike with unified force of all interested countries in a peaceful future. We need a D-Day in to Russia.

  25. You're never going to have peace when every other country needs a strong military to defend themselves against our strong military. If we really want peace we need to demilitarize and America needs to lead the way but of course more money is all America wants, so WW3 it is!

  26. Meanwhile, this puppet administration left 800 americans in Afghanistan, has funded War Crimes in Ukraine, and approves of the Ukraine killing the world with a Nuclear Disaster.
    The USA is the greatest threat to this Planet.
    Democracy is an absolute joke.
    Freedom is a bunch of lazy, apathetic jokes calling themselves christians while children are being molested and given the monkey plague by satan worshiping degenerates.
    Never forget.
    Never forgive this tyranny.
    Do you monsters still support the degenerate democracy Ukraine?

    The Ukrainian military has fired multiple rockets directly at coolant systems and nuclear waste storage site inside the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in Energodar, local government administration member Vladimir Rogov told Russian media on Tuesday. He warned that a successful strike may result in a radiation release equivalent to a “dirty bomb.”

  27. You can't take back crimea with out targeting it. Everyone needs to evacuate now.

  28. Give him anything zelensky wants without questions or he will accuse you of being a Russian supporter

  29. All the while the US & Russian oligarchs are getting wealthy selling weapons and fear. Ukraine and Russian soldiers are dying in a war between Oligarchs for the right to the spoils of the Ukraine dictatorship.

  30. Cleansing Crimea of the orc Air Force is preliminary to the beginning of the offensive to retake Kerson.

  31. Biden loves 16% inflation
    Housing market is going to crash soon
    Car market is going to crash soon
    Food shortages coming soon !

  32. Châu chấu, những dòng sông nước chảy như máu, bệnh dịch, hạn han , lủ lụt, các điềm lạ, động đất.. là báo hiệu tận thế
    Phản Kito là ĐGH
    Sắp tận thế lúc 15 giờ

  33. Million man army sorry Russia 300.000 behind your lines 🤣🤣🤣

  34. Ukraine plans to carry out artillery strikes on the Russia-controlled Zaporozhye nuclear power plant on Friday, and then accuse Russia of causing a disaster at the site, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday.

  35. WHERE did this concept of brothers come in from ? From David Duke on, the average white guy in the western hemisphere sez he mentally never left Europe 300 years ago, and sez white ethnic Ameticans of the western hemisphere and Slovenians and ethnic Ukrainians are brothers. This shows or indicates something bizarre.
