  1. This has been going on sice 2014. Last time Ukraine bombed Luhask and Donetsk was 2021. Western media doesn't tell you this but tries to hide it.

  2. @ the end of the day this American puppet will be a billionaire and biden crime family will make their pockets full as well. This is a slaughter Nato should never of broke the treaty it signed way back when with russia

  3. Why did everyone abruptly forget that in 2014, in a country called Ukriana, terrorists seized the government and gained access to power? All zabli military takeover of the country?

    Why does everyone pretend that this is a normal phenomenon and nothing has happened in Ukraine?

    Let me remind you that in 2014 Ukraine was seized by terrorists by military seizure, the legal president fled from death, and the regions who did not agree with the seizure of the country, the new terrorist "government" having access to the army began to suppress and seize by force. Nobody remembers this?!

    Why does everyone pretend like everything was normal there?

    According to all international laws, in 2014 the country of Ukraine ceased to exist, the constitution and laws on equality and democracy were violated! Why does everyone pretend that Ukraine is still a country.

    After the seizure of the country, the terrorists held their fake elections in the hope of making themselves legitimate, but these are fakes, they still exactly remained terrorists!

    Now these terrorists have attacked Russia and all the euros are silent, as if this is normal.

    It is not normal.

    Stop calling Ukraine a country.

    In 2014, there was an armed seizure of power in this "country"! Not democratically with a vote, but an armed seizure with weapons and militants !!! People with weapons broke into the parliament, the president's house, the administrative building, seized everything by force.

    Those who seized power with weapons now rule Ukraine!

    They are not legal!

    It was terrorism within the country!

    The laws of the country were destroyed and ceased to operate.

    Since then, de jure, the country has ceased to exist.

    In fact, now this is a territory with a dictator and their personally invented "laws" to which everyone has become obliged to obey in Ukraine under fear of terror.

    You don't have to pretend like it's normal.

    It is not normal!

    Everyone understands that this terrorism by Ukraine.

    I repeat. Ukraine made terrorism!

    Ukrainian soldiers blew up a civilian train that was carrying wheat!

    I repeat. Ukrainian soldiers blew up a civilian train!

    This is terrorism!

    Ukraine blew up a bridge to Crimea,

    blew up the daughter of an official Irina Dugina,

    blew up journalist Vladlen Tatarsky,

    blew up a drone over the Kremlin tower,

    blew up a civilian train.

    Ukraine is a terrorist!

    Don't support terrorists!

    By supporting Ukraine, you are sponsoring terrorism

  4. A brilliant leader has been sending his army to his death without air support.

  5. Zelensky is a money gruber who should not be funded by U.S. taxpayers!

  6. Ukraine had 1.2 million military personal, then started pulling boys, and men off streets. To say Russia has more troops mean Ukraine has hundreds of thousands dead

  7. 100×1km2; do you know how much that is? If you imagine that you stood in the center of the circle and looked only to one side, then that is half as far as your gaze reaches in the plane of the semicircle.

  8. Thousands getting killed while Zelensky hides like a coward waiting for his next shipment of American tax payers dollars. He knows Ukraine has lost but as long as that money keeps rolling in he will keep the Genocide going. Won’t be the first time

  9. But Ukraine is winning 🤣🤣🤣

  10. The Ukraine war has bored everyone for 1 year and 111 days.

    Shoot Putin and US arms dealers NOT everyone else.

    Go protest outside the houses of Oil executives.

    Protest the problem NOT the public.

  11. High heels zelenskyy 🤣😂🤣🤡

  12. Ukraine backed by USA, EU and NATO countries almost over 47 European nations all against one Russia and yet still our ♥️ Russia stands 💪strong. URAAA.
    The USA, EU and NATO all 40,plus European countries ganged up against Russia for all this period over 18months; arming, training, sending their special forces, merceneries, and supplying Ukraine with all the latest military hardware in their storages and yet Russia still stands tall, far much better proves too strong? Russia has performed much better than expected fighting against USA and NATO backed forces? Surprising them more not only does Russia continues to stand her ground, but is destroying everything the USA and NATO throws at her, Russia continues to crush Ukraine at will and anywehere she wants? Am begining to wonder how long can the USA going at it alone last in a Mordern war against Russia? the answer is clear "no one country alone, not even the over praised USA can last long in a mordern against Russia."…

    To many of us, Putin is a Hero, a great Man and dignified President. Putin is fighting the evils of Western emperorist of the USA and NATO, thus Putin is defending the right for every country to self determination rather bending to iron rules of of USA and NATO scams.

    USA leaders and EU leaders say every day that Ukraine is difacto defense/security for EU and NATO.. Ukraine is trapped in proxy war and Ukrianan are perishing for what?? Ukrainians perishing fighting for a USA and NATO proxy war against Russia.

    As at now believe it or not Russia is the number one military super power.. when USA and EU and NATO over 40 countries ganged against one Russia; logic and common sense had put all odds against Russia and we all expected Russia to be thrown out of Ukraine in less than 90days; but to the shock of everyone outside the Russian government(Russians were prepared and knew they can withstand anything the USA/West throws at them), Russia is still holding on to Eastern Ukraine destroying everything the USA and NATO throws at Russia..;

    Lets imagine for a second, if all the EU and NATO countries had ganged up against USA how long will USA last??? Look at how long Russia has withstood and and continues to crush the USA and NATO countries supported Ukrainian forces?? Jealousy aside Russia is the number one military super power in the world as at now…Uraaaa Uraaa…

    Now I smell freedom in the air; just look around the world there is wind of change; all the fear many had over USA and NATO is vanishing. Even countries that were too scared to confront the USA have now gathered the courage to air out their views because they have realised Russia is more powerful than USA and NATO combined together. Russia is the real deal and abash usa and NATO scams..

    Russia is a true hero, very very strong but humble in nature. Many countries are now seeing the reality of Russia as the Number One Military Super Power as at now. What can the USA and NATO do to Russia which they have not already done in the Ukrianan War? The USA and NATO have nothing more they can use to frighten or threaten Russia with?? RUSSIA has for all purposes won and crushed the image of USA and NATO for good.

    It's just a matter of time the USA and NATO allies will count their loses and eventually USA and NATO will cut and run leaving zelensky to fight the battles alone… USA and NATO did cut and run in Vietnam, Somali, just recently in Afghanistan remember not very long ago. Just recently the USA Military left Afghanistan in a panic like rats running away from on coming floods or fires . The USA military equipments and hardware left behind is worthy hundreds of billions USD dollars…Nothing lasts forever. Word of advise to Ukraine and Zelensky team, take it upon yourself agree to negotiate peace with Russia on Russia terms and save many lives.. better to negotiate peace , live to fight another day if necessary if not just negotiate peace for goodness sake and save lives. Otherwise the USA and NATO are Soo happy to continue seeing Ukraine burned to the ground…and truth is later, USA and NATO will abandon Ukraine to fight on her own and happily move on to next unsuspecting victim to be tricked and destroyed…

  13.

  14. HOW ABOUT LETTING UKRAINEANS HAVE FREE ELECTIONS….. correct they are not allow to… currently. thats their "freedom"

  15. Russia = terrorism. Let’s eradicate terrorism.

  16. Russian imperialism has to stop in Ukraine if the world is going to have peace. Every wanna be dictator needs to see Russia fail so they dont start their own war.
