  1. America stands with Russia 🇷🇺

  2. WRONG! It's the Democrats refusing to pass the bill!!!!

  3. Abruptly, really, Zellensky has either fired or asked Zaluzhny for his resignation about a dozen times over the last month, with Zaluzhny refusing to step down, which is a tell tale sign , that a miltary coup is in the making, I dont know how much money zellensky had to give Zaluzhny to finally step aside, but it obviously didn't calm zellensky's fears of Zaluzhny still making a move, so zellensky had the entire Azov battalion,. who were fiercly loyal to zaluzhny and based in Kiev out of harms way and at the ready to sieze control of the government at Zaluzhny's command, transfered to Avdiiika, pretty much a death sentence, but not a guarantee, so at the last stop of Steplavia to regroup before deploymemt to Avdiika, whatya knowb they were discovered and Russia made the most devastating missile strike on troops since the start of the conflict, 500 dead and upwards of 2000 wounded, all but eliminating any Azov threat to Zellensky and cutting of Zaluzhmy's nut sack,

    Oh, think its bullshit because the media is covering it, that's on you.

    But, muaw, Democracy Democracy

  4. He is forcing men and women to die. Disgusting!

  5. Zalensky is responsible with the United states senators of killing a entire generation of ukrainians why don't you report that abc news the average age of a ukranian soldier as of Feb 13 2024 is 45 years of age and this is the truth

  6. Must be nice to have Americans pay through the nose to secure Ukraines border, while the USA borders are overrun by illegal migration. This crap is crazy.

  7. How can anyone watch this news channel? I lost a few brain cells watching a few mins of it. Gotta love propaganda.

  8. Gonna need Billions more. Maybe sell out homes for them?

  9. Zelensky is stealing funding and Biden, Pelosi and Schumer probably have accounts being accredited. Veterans in the UNITED STATES suffer while Ukraine, Israel and Immigrants reap in the $$$. God will wipe the slate clean.

  10. Zelensky doesn’t like his top commander that the war was on stalemate and need to recruit more soldiers.

    Soldier don’t play politics. It’s a fact. You can’t change the fact by changing the army general.

  11. 😮In the history of the human race there have been many who have clung to the card of belonging to one group as extremely interested; But when he cannot get a position that suits him, he then, as a disappointment, again changes his affiliation to the extreme, but now to belonging to the opposing group of the previous group. Depending on the circumstances, that is, his career and the position he occupies, his attitude also changes. However, I have met those who completely blindly serve the goals of the West or companies without having any contact with them.

  12. I don’t care. I live in MO. I am trying to figure out how this information will help me.

  13. Shame on you for this coverage. I urge everyone to watch the Tucker Carlson – Putin interview.
    Then you will see how Western media has been fabricating a nararative around a war that needn't have happened, and how these two presenters are guilty of perpetuating this false narrative.

  14. New general was born in Russia his brother and parents live in Russia

  15. Zelensky must replace him self and war will end

  16. Inn other news Tucker Carlson interviews with Putin😂😂😂😂😂😂

  17. I dont even watch these videos. I just pause and go straight to the comment section to see people take on this.

  18. I don’t trust a word these people say. Nothing but liars and treating us like we are idiots.

  19. Zelensiky is egoistic selfish man. I don't think he is able evaluate himself and see the truth on the ground. I feel sad for Ukraine people. His decision doesn't surprise me. The general doesn't give much for Zelensiky ego, so the man who give priority to his personal ego and who has no knowledge of military science can not see beyond his feet. He is loosing more and more than gaining. He could negotiate and work hard to get back some or even the Four provinces if respect and let the Russian speakers have autonomous region under Ukraine. He could, but maybe too late because of Zelensiky thoughtless and egoistic mentality. He pushed Russia into this war driven by the old PM of Britain and NATO Secretary miscalculated political and economical game plans. Ukraine was the envy of the world. I blame Zelensiky nobody else. He made huge mistake. I believe the Ukraine people must own their destiny not this joker, Zelensiky.

  20. Russia in fact told Ukraine and the US if Ukraine joins nato he will invade. He held true to his word and now everybody is upset. Haha. 😂

  21. Misleading tagline probably nothing else is reliable.

  22. What should we do in the kyiv war during the water front riot

  23. It's only abrupt if you work at ABC News and don't pay attention to world events.

  24. The ABC team learned absolutely nothing from Putin's interview and history lesson.

  25. No Ukraine or Israel Funding until America's Southern Border is secured and Deportations of Illegal Immigrants begin.

  26. and you wonder why no one trusts your news.

  27. They started the war by cleansing ethnic Russians in the donbass in 2014

  28. ABC keeps shilling for war, while at least Carlson seemed to be trying to push a peace deal. Do these media morons realize that people will continue to die because of this fawning nonsense from a media who should be speaking truth to power, not backing up the military industrial complex. Disgusting sell-outs.

  29. Who will replace joker zelensky 😂🎉

  30. Long live Russia and Vladamir Putin!
    Love from Yemen!

  31. You have no idea what you’re talking about. It was not the abrupt decision but thoughtful and careful. Zalujny and Zelensky have great relationships but different approaches. Enough false information. Americans abandoned Ukraine a year ago. No aid since then. You have a zero right to criticize or praise any of the decisions and pretend that you play any part in Ukraine winning this war. Ukraine is on its own and you’re too weak to change anything so shut up and stop your criticism.

  32. The war is OVER in Ukraine it's been over STOP sucking tax paying dollars from the US citizens and get it over with. Swallow your pride call Vladimir Putin and get it done. Enough is enough already. You lost now move on.
