  20. Pray for Ukraine let’s put our love a prayer to Ukraine we are NATO and NATO hope Ukraine is will win I hope Ukraine and Russia whats wrong with you!?what Ukraine did to you!?your a meanie that’s way no one support you?!

  21. Ukraine will fall and the United States will help Russia. Why? Because its profitable.
    You think Russia couldn't just flatten Ukraine? Why would you flatten a country you intend to occupy? Don't be dumb, the longer this lasts the better. The economy suffers, then you ask for help. Who's going to help them? Displaced people, destroyed infrastructure, beautiful. Classic. Sanctions my dic*! Lol, this is war… Nothing is off the table.

  24. RUSSIA needs to keep moving forward and let those countries feel how bombing innocent kids feel lik in the middle east. See you in the heart of Europe. Nuke them to death Go Russia ,🇷🇺🇷🇺

  25. Putin is a furious and mad killer of innocent children, their mothers and fathers. I can't imagine how it is possible in the centre of Europe. Its so heartbreaking 😭😭😭. Ukrainian people are dying every day and all the world is observing the war. Only sanctions are not effective against russian invasion.

  29. it is quite obvious that the tactics of the militants of the Ukrainian army, who hide behind civilians like rats and actually took them hostage, are similar to the tactics of the ISIS militants.There is nothing surprising, because they have the same Western teachers and military advisers.that is why the Ukrainian militants do not bring agreements to the civilians at the negotiations on the creation of corridors for the exit of civilians/refugees from the blocked cities.and they continue to shoot refugees trying to leave the blocked cities.after all, these rats, under the leadership of the drug addict nuclear terrorist Zelensky, are cowards, and they are afraid to fight in the field, without hiding behind civilians.where they are instantly smashed into minced meat

  33. The USA and Great Britain are the guarantors of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, according to the Budapest Memorandum!  Please fulfill your obligations!!!

  40. The people of Lugansk and Donetsk(The Donbass) sought military intervention from Russia to stop the massacre by the Ukrainian militants. For the past 8 years, more than 14000 people(men,women,elderly&children) have been slaughtered by Ukrainians and NATO backed Militias . Putin refused to step in, waiting for Ukraine to honour the Minsk agreement to allow the two states to become autonomous regions. Instead, US-backed Zelensky(Actor and Comedian-.- ) refused. That's why Russia responded, condemning the disregard of the genocide by the international community. Of course you will see none of this on western media since the war mongers(NATO) want an excuse to expand their influence in the region and to invade Russia…
