CNN's Will Ripley reports from Ukraine's border with Belarus where there is growing concern about Russia once again assembling troops and holding joint-combat drills. #CNN #News
Defense Minister says Ukraine is preparing for possible Russian invasion from Belarus
It’s extremely odd seeing Russia, the one unique country we civilians were told are supposed to be on the same level/have been competing with for the past 80+ years tirelessly expanding and developing our own military to counter for, is struggling so terribly just on basic military tasks regardless of invasion status.
@Latino God Yes , ofcourse, US and UK are Empires of Lies and Deception who doesn’t provide any real goods like Food or Fuel to World because they’re both far away isolated across some unheard Oceans 😂 Who built their Empire on Slavery and Colonization on blood of innocent native population….
@R May Then why don’t US or NATo jump into Ukraine by deploying their troops and send their fighter jets to target Russians in Ukraine ?😂 That means your country are most worst than paper tiger’s 😂 atleast they have GUTS ….
@R May US and NATO are Coward Army 😂
@R May US and UK are getting an Idea of their Stupidity just look at Inflation in their country 😂
@cat I agree it feels plenty odd. I wonder how much their Warsaw Pact allies, who would have gone in front I guess, could still have made them a force deserving vigilance and preparation and deterrence. I definitely don’t remember anyone entertaining the absurd fantasy that the first country Russia marched into would stop them.
I don’t think Belarus will actually invade, I think they’re just going through the motions to appease Putin.
@Declan Kearns If they cave to Russian pressure, it’s quite likely that thousand will die.
@Ellen Faulkner Lukashenko is holding on to power by a thread. If he tries to send his soldiers to fight in Russia’s war he knows there’s a good chance the army will turn on him. He’s in a bad situation- his hold on power propped up by Russia . Refuse to fight and Putin could withdraw support or fight and risk the army deposing him.
@Stan Obert totally agree with you Stan. The people are separate to the government in Belarus. In fact, Lukashenko took office in 2020 (he’s been in office since 1994, the first and only president of Belarus since the establishment of the office in 1994). To huge anti government protests. It’s Russia’s war, not Belarus. It’s a tightrope for Lukashenko. Sure, the Belarus foreign minister Vladimir Makei “died suddenly”after criticising Russia. I have read that Lukashenko is totally paranoid now. He fears Putin for his own safety but the Ukraine situation will make him have to choose: Save the Belarusian people, or save himself from Putin. Should he decided to join this war guaranteed, once Belarusian people start dying, father’s, brothers, sons, in a war that’s Russia’s, he will then realise that he will have conflict from within and abroad, at the same time. In this case will be left with one only choice, to flee to Russia in exile. He wouldn’t be the first.
@Tall Grass yes, I agree. Totally. Belarusian troops will then be in the meat grinder along with badly equipped and poorly trained Russian troops
Yeap the fat boy is trying to keep his job
Good, a Belarusian change of power is desperately needed.
Uk and the USA would be better
Wäre ja vielleicht in ihrem Land auch von nöten? Was sie sich mit Belaruss wünschen wird nie eintreten, dafür wird schon Russland sorgen.!!!
Villeicht ist ja auch in ihrem Land ein Machtwechesl von dringenden Nöten, so würde die Welt einmal wieder durch gemischt werden.!!!!
@Ray Harth Both countries you mention have mechanisms in place to facilitate periodic changes in power. Imagine that 😆
@Chas what is the reason to change power while country laws are dictating? Likes of USA NATO
Seeing the unbridled emotion of the Ukrainians standing up for their freedom and against outright tyranny makes a young Brit like me to feel proud to have contributed a sum of £8300 as charity for Ukraine’s freedom. Human beings have a natural instinct to be free and Ukrainians like any other human beings on this planet have that right if they so choose and to determine their own future. Tricky 🇬🇧 🇺🇦
@Bonnie I think you watch too much of CNN and BBC propaganda news 😂
@Hugh Curl People in Britain fell for the lies of Farage and Johnson. They voted for poverty.
Joe Biden arms women&children to fight and die against Russia 🇷🇺. Just so you and Joe Biden can scream war crimes .
@james R karolchyk Yes it’s a old tactics now….
@Manjunath and with those old tactics. Russia just took 1/5th of Ukraine. Lol
If Belarus invaded it would be the end of Lukashenko as a independent ruler. I mean he barely is now but truly. If he gave the order I think hed get coup’ed out by his own generals, which would likely trigger a full takeover by Putin thus ending Belarus as a state. If the Russian army is doing this poorly I promise you the Belarussian army will do no better and likely far worse. Belarussian soldiers are even less motivated to fight Ukrainians than Russian soldiers are and they are even more poorly trained and equipped than them too.
@MrDac0964 much of it is an open forrest protected by young guys that should be chasing girls.
@Adi B darn good comment
@TheOffkilter hmm make sense, thanks for explaining that. 😀
@MrDac0964 There is the truth, the shadows and what lies in between. Remember the coverage that confirmed a pending Ukrainian offensive in the south when..it really was the east? Guess putin…guess.
Yes i Agreee
Freedom for Ukraine from Russian aggression…..glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 Godspeed and strength to Ukraine and God bless 🙌 🙏
@Enrique LaRoche Palestine is a terrorist “nation”
@JackLikesCheese Every people fighting Occupiers are called Terrorists
@Enrique LaRoche no, I refer to many as rebels whether I support them or not. The palestinians are using human shields and attacking Israelis.
@JackLikesCheese The Palestinians are an occupied people Just like the Ukrainians both condemned by UN resolutions only you like one group and hate the other because well you are owned by one group.or your politicians are. Ukraine is shelling a Nuclear power plant is that Terrorism? What if Russia arms the Palestinians like we arm the Ukrainians? Stingers and S400’s to take out the Israeli Jets?
@JackLikesCheese The Palestinians are using human shields??? Why the Isralis shoot right through civilians like they were not even there.
Ukraine 🇺🇦 needs more modern weapons and equipment. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
@painmt651they don’t need weapons they just need heart
Yah what we need is more weapon?!., more deaths, what we need is talks for peace!!!
Patriots on the way 🇺🇸
As a United States citizen I’m sick and tired of paying for this war .
@John Mack It causes us higher gas prices, but if we didn’t support them it would cost a higher amount of lives.
More long-term support for Ukraine-they are fighting the war for a better world. Slava Ukraine!
Better world?. The Arabs, Africans ， ，South Africans, Asians are laughing.
Rest in piss all ukranian soldiers
Crap
I was sure the year would end badly for me but I think Amazons AMMP22X is spot on with what they do and how they do it. Can’t say for how long it’s gonna work and for sure it is overyhped right now but even for half a year or something it would be smart to ride the wave and then eventually jump away but the thing is why this is smart right now is because it’s so cheap, won’t ever find a better entry than now
Who falls for this crap?
Scammers
🚨SCAM ALERT🚨
All of the recent youtube scammers have hacked and disabled the “report user” functions.
They should buy weapons from china ,india . Nato are to Rich why waste valuable resources from Nato countries just get your weapons from the enemy and give them papers.
The solution is to NOT go and fight for governments, not to accept masks, injections, or any other nonsense, and when more people wake up, you even refuse to pay them taxes – which are nothing more than protection fees given to the mafia but under a masked form! You just don’t care about them or the media, which is an extension of them!
God bless the brave Ukrainian soldiers.
@Ray Harth Perhaps not, does putin pay well? I’ll bet he doesn’t.
Gods been bleesing them with missles and shells from russia for a very long time now, dont be greedy 😂
Zeus, Wotan, Ganesha, or Ahura Mazda?
@JERRY RICHARDSON Putin doesn’t pay them at all lol
@Ray Harth Shouldn’t you be heading out to a funeral for one of those Russian boys being sent home in a box?
I have friends in Belarus and I know this for a fact, Lukeshenko doesn’t have enough power to keep his military and even his citizens in check if he joins with the Russian military to invade Ukraine…..
@Terry Harris I believe so to. But Russia is throwing alot of men at them. I just hope they can’t over run the ukraines with so many men that they can’t keep up with killing them all.
@Terry Harris they need to take kremmina before Russia takes bakmut. Even thou it will be a long time if ever russsia does take it
We will see. You probably say Ukraine is winning , even when Russia takes 1/5th of Ukraine.
@james R karolchyk the Russian army has been destroyed you dumbass. What part of that don’t you see. We will see. Belarus don’t make a bit of difference in this war. Ukraine will handle it just like they handled it before. When Russia is without Crimea next summer we will see.
@Claude Maggard sure, meanwhile Russia just took 1/5th of Ukraine. Throw away your smartphone phone . It’s lying to you. Lol you Twit. I bet you can name several dead American black criminals, but can’t name one dead Ukrainian. What a fraud
Nothing says “great idea” quite like expanding how much you’re losing by.
There are a lot of Belarus fighters already in the ground in Ukraine.
The thing is… they’re mostly on the Ukrainian side. These are people who left their posts in Belarus to defend their cousins, aunts, and uncles in Ukraine.
@BunzeeBear it really doesn’t in a YouTube comment section.
In the ground as in staying in trenches and foxholes you mean.
@BunzeeBear It’s probably a typo, Happens all the time,
There are also lot of Belarus who are pro Russian and pro Putin. Don’t act like they are mainly pro Ukraine.
@Adi B True, but the divisions in Belarusian society are there. There’s also a difference between being pro-Russia and Putin, and being pro-sending your own people to die for Putin’s ambition.
Looks like the Ukrainian army could use some snow camouflage for these Winter maneuvers, based on the video shown in this report.
The Finns, Swedes or Germans should be able to supply some quickly.
– – – Just a thought!
Ja die stehen doch bereits vor ihrer eigenen Haustür!!!!
Very brave Ukrainian soldiers, God bless Ukraine.❤
russian soldiers are 1/2 as good as Ukrainian soldiers.
prove me wrong, oh wait you cant.
@Paddington Exactly and thank you.
@Paddington Is that why alot of Russian soldiers are deserting or dying?
@Paddington lol not all of them most of them back Putin
🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸 God bless Ukraine, we pray for you
Thank you to the thousands of Belarusian and Russian soldiers fighting against the RuZZian invaders in the International Legion of Ukraine. Thank you also to the Chechen and Georgian soldiers in the International Legion. I know there are many other nationalities fighting too.
Wennsie soviel dummer Zeug schwätzen wie der Selensky, dann gut Nacht, dann ist es wirklich besser dass nachts kein Licht mehr brennt.!!!😂😂😂
I could be wrong, but this sounds like a bluff / decoy to deflect Ukraine’s attention away from the front the East and South. I’m sure Russia and Belarus also get some mutual benefit from training together like this.
Yes they get to share the vodka bottles 😂
Agree ,All the weasels in Moscow are bluffers!
“All warfare is based on deception” – Sun Tzu
God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦
Putin: we will never invade Ukraine
Also Putin: Joe, please recognise my annexed territories
Putin “We will not use Nukes” ooops changed my mind you are dead.
Slava Ukraine from Hungary. Glory to the heroes of Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Gimme money! My Oligarchs have needs.
@Zelenskyy-the-Blackmailer here o_________________o I did. My work raised money, too. What else do you think Ukraine needs to kick the Russian terrorists out?
@Zelenskyy-the-Blackmailer here o_________________o How much money do you get from Kremlin these days for posting on youtube?
Maybe you could petition your jackass government to pay more for this fraud of a war. Since Hungary 🇭🇺 is right there.
Nazi slogan, fuxx them
Doesn’t matter, they’ll get their clocks clean too like the ones before them. Only now they’ll be facing hardened veteran defenders with almost a year of constant combat experience.
