Zelenskyy Calls Captured Americans ‘Heroes’ In Exclusive Interview
source
This Zelensky guy if he likes to fight so much should be in the front line not in the back while his people are dying
Maybe you should pay more attention to what's going on in the world before you make your ridiculous comments. Putin is trying to exterminate the Ukranian people and erase their existence from history. Ukraine has no choice but to fight, once again, for their right to survive peacefully in their own country. And President Zelenskyy was elected, not appointed, because Ukraine has a democratic government. His credentials also include being a businessman, tv producer and being a law school graduate. Oh, and the Azovs aren't Nazis. You'll find all kinds of Nazis in the Russian forces and in their totally corrupt government though.
Do you know you can get rid of any kind of disease with natural root and herbs,I was able to cure my HIV completely by the help of Dr Osaba on YouTube,he is a traditional man he has cure for all kinds of chronic diseases..

If you choose to fight be sure you are fighting for worthy cause that is worth dying for. No one made them go to Ukraine they were manipulated by the corporate media and lacked the critical thinking skills to know what they were fighting for. They thought they were fighting for freedom but found out they were fighting for the nazis and for people who don't even care about your life. They don't even care for the lives of their own people what makes you think they care about you. You were just a resource to be exploited and even now zelensky is exploiting you for a boost in popular support hoping more Americans will sign up to give more weapons and money to a war already lost. The best they can hope for is a political deal to bring them home. The western corporate fascist media are manipulators of people leading the gullible astray. Had no business over there. The corporate media is wielded by the rich using emotions to control people. Using emotionally mind control to manipulate people into throwing their lives away. They were grown men who made a choice. They chose to fight and possibly die. But now zelensky wants to use them as an opportunity to exploit their capture to win more public support from the west so they can get more weapons to sell them on the black market without any over sight and get those extra billions every month in proxy war funds. I hope it was worth it to them. Most times in Ukraine they take your passports and send you to fight without weapons and if you refuse they shoot you in the back. Thanks mercenaries we appreciate your sacrifice to the glory of Ukraine take a bullet in your back we appreciate your service to the Supreme Aryan races reconquest of Europe. That's the reality of fighting for Ukraine. Cannon fodder and sheep led to the slaughter. While zelensky eats his steak and lobsters while you die in a ditch or get captured and hung. "Thank you for your service…Slava Ukraine!" Glory to Ukraine But no glory for you mercenaries. Matter of fact there is no glory to Ukraine there is only death and destruction. You followed an actor and he watches as your country is destroyed. There is no glory for Ukraine now. You listened to a comedian but im sure the people of Ukraine are not laughing. Im sure these mercenaries are not laughing either. Sitting in a cell waiting to die is not too funny. Sitting in a dungeon in a steel plant waiting to die is not fun. Where is the glory in all that. No glory to be found in Ukraine. But slava Ukraine is a good tag line gets people to want to come there searching for glory but finding only death. So sad you listened to the liars of the rich man's media. This rich man's propaganda is dangerous and they are really good at deceiving people to do whatever they want. Lesson to the rest of the world…don't believe anything the west tells you. Do your own research. Listen to every side of the story. Use critical thinking skills. Think for yourself. Don't just follow these liars of the west. They will lead you off the cliff.
I call them fools, fighting for a corrupt country and Z" the clown
Obviously he gonna say there heroes cause there fighting benefits only him
Yeah, I bet you think they're heroes and they most certainly are..they put themselves in enormous danger to fight for a country most Americans know little about..but that's cold comfort to those men and their families. He doesn't care as long as it benefits him. I'm all for helping and doing what we can, but I wish we would've been more limited in our willingness to fight and financially support them in this war..it's come at way to much of an expense to us
Behold. The great Russian Bear always wins in the end. The inevitable SUBMISSION of the Donbas was never in doubt from many informed observers. Severodonestk is only the prelude.
The Kiev regime should know when they are already conquered; acknowledging reality instead of chosing to live in a dangerous denial could have saved more lives.
The UAF retreating didn't help the innocent elderly, woment & children that lost their lives because of Kyiv's delusional madness to fight on in Severodonestk for so long, and for no reason other than hubris and political expediency.
Mr. Zelenksy and his failed Ministers- Reznikov and Kyrylo Budanov are existing on borrowed time.
They. Are. Coming..
'Heroes" lol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
SLAVA UKRAINE!
Lololol people lose all common sense talking to or about zelenskyy. Those "heroes" deserve death by Russia when captured. Not the first lives zelenskyy words have caused to be lost. He is a mad man
Puppet comedian is a killer. Scammer
Ukraine will never give up and never give in… America will catch Ukraine up it takes time
Meh…Nazis. You don't like people of color why should I care? Wicked Esau
Nominated for the oscars
The mercenary are not heroes but spiced for cia and m5.
Ukraine defends what is your right as an independent country, not afraid because it is governed by other countries.
That fool is coked out. Dreams of bigger bombs and bigger weapons to destroy the earth. This is thoughts of a nazi mad mad.
War Monger..

They play politics while people lose their lives. Such pretenders. This guy is totally fake.
They aren't heros, they are dummies. He just wants more U.S tax dollars. Americans are suffering and tired of our government investing and financing other countries.
Nato and french union x Italy union x portugese union
This guy does not seem to be stressing at all! He looks well refreshed..probably enjoys steak dinner every night. I feel sad for the Ukrainians who are made to suffer and those who lost their lives fighting this unnecessary war
This comment section is infested with desperately slobbering Vladolf Putler ZZZombie bots 🤣
For God's sake NATO, send these courageous Ukrainians all the heavy weapons they so urgently need NOW! They are defending our values of freedom and democracy for us with their lives.
