Anti-Putin Russians based in Ukraine allegedly stage incursion into Russia
“When I look into Putin’s 👁💩👁 eyes I see the KGB.”
Republican Senator John McCain
I see SATAN
I see a war criminal, a monster, who doesn’t care about human lives, who’s twisted vision of history caused the greatest conflict in Europe since WW2
Same Clown that stood in Ukraine with Lindsey Graham and Viktor Poroshenko, warmongering back in 2017.
@Tony H I see a pathetic ,afraid little man ,a coward and a fraud,a thief
and a poser,who will end up asking Satan for mercy in hell.
@Mark Berryhill When Obama was president he sent Hillary to Russia to push the giant RESET button. Obama was caught on a hot mic saying “tell Vladimir I’ll have more flexibility after the election l”. Hillary sold 20% of our Uranium to Russia!
Democrats have placated the Russians for so long no wonder Putin felt emboldened enough to invade Ukraine
This is how war is. All the more reason to resist. How do make agreements with an enemy with no ethics? How do you make agreements with an enemy which doesn’t honor agreements?
You cannot make agreements with a liar, the only way is to defeat the enemy. And the world are fed up with russia and their threats, bullying and use of violence if they dont get what they want.
This time we will defeat russia permanently, and transform it to a new American state. It might take 20 years, but the West are very determinded that Russia must be erased from the world and the warcriminals must pay the ultimate price.
actually the u.s. agreed with russia not to expand nato toward russian borders and yet they have done so — thats part of the reason given for the invasion of ukraine; to prevent its entering into nato
so yes NOT honoring agreements leads to conflict
@barbara seymour The west can’t strike Russia. Exactly why America and Russia had a multiple decade long cold war. We knew that a hot war, ended the world as we know it.
You destroy that enemy at all costs!how else do you deal with terrorists?
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.
Glory to You, our God, glory to You
Any person creating all these miseries is not a human being.
@Northman why push for Minsk agreements if land grab is the goal?
@Northman you say the Russians are less than the rest of humans…you call them orks. This clearly shows your hate……it is hate blinding you from the truth.
@RC the problem is that Putin are terrified to loose Ukraine to the West.
His biggest desire is to restore Soviet again, but he cannot do that without Ukraine.
The Baltic States are forever lost to russia, and he doesnt want that to happen with Ukraine.
Zelensky closed the door on a NEGOTIATION to pursue his MONEY GRAB from the BIDEN MIS’administration. Zelensky has lots of DIRT on the BIDENS and must COMPLY.
Putin is not a hu am, Putin is a monster
Cyber attack on Russia’s energy grid. Anyone able to handle that out there ?
CNN viewers are being lied to in every news cycle. Whether it’s the war in Ukraine or the lies about the mass shootings. CNN is propaganda for the ignorant sheep!
On YouTube, Google etc.. United24 🇺🇦
@Wilhelm Beck could do some good overload damage russia is not one for safety measures
How about the Guys and Girls from “Anonymus” going to go for it!?
If they want to do any good in this time it´s going against Russia´s Infrastructure!
Come on Anonymus, you hacked the TV Channels, now go for the big one!
huck nuclear reactor by public wifi ?
Was in serious doubts because this is really a tough market but just got the headsup that Amazons announcement for *AMZP3X* invite hit the roads and that could maybe change the tables. I’m going with it! Who’s with me?

Germany needs to send Patriot missiles and keep its promises to Ukraine ❤🇺🇦🇺🇦🙏
Russia will pay a very very heavy price for the detestable things they have done and though many are innocent in Russia they will all be held responsible and will have to live with this terrible Legacy cannot wait for retribution
and yet russia is accusing ukraine troops of war crimes the other day because of a footage of russian troops being shot whlie they are already surrendered. I think Russia had already commited more war crimes when they targeted civilians by their missiles.p
Much more concerned with what China is doing. The real threat to freedom. This is just a CNN psyop
Repent. Believe in Jesus. John 3:16 -KJV – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Luke 13:3 KJV – I tell you nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV – Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
If Putin looked at you directly, you would cry like a b i t c h and run away🤣
Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight– That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.
Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.
Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart– These, O God, You will not despise.
Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem.
Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.
Poland, when offered a missle defense system said “Send it to Ukraine!” ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Defroster would be a gooder support
Much more concerned with what China is doing. The real threat to freedom.
Poland has been waiting for almost 100 years to recover its lands stolen by Ukraine..
@Les Vampyres dumb, dumber, Les Vampyres 🥳
@A2Z Les Vampyres has no clue whats goin on. He/she/it never heard of NATO politics I guess.
All money from frozen accounts of Russian oligarchs and banks (allies have frozen more than $330 billion in financial resources owned by Russia’s elite and the central bank of Russia) should be used for Ukraine, like power generators, construction projects, weapons, humanitarian aid, winter clothes etc., Russia just cannot get away with its imperial war for territory and resources…. Sláva Ukrajině 🇺🇦 from Czech 🇨🇿
Really?
Burn it sooner than soon.
Ukraine is corrupt.
@Rebecca Perry-Piper Need an accounting? How about a reality check ffs!
@Franklin the difference is we stand for freedom and democracy and our conflicts are to protect and defend. Russia, North Korea, Syria etc are corrupt regimes with dictators that need to be removed. Fact
@Rick Arnold that, too
@Chris Mifsud give context please
I feel like putting out into the world that electricity is coming back on like or reporting generators are being used, just tells Putin when to bomb again or more. Maybe not telling him would be a better thing to do?
@BJ Rosen Emergency black out….no lights…but at least electricity available for people’s medical needs…and building a huge electric chair to fry putin….a fitting end for him!
@BJ Rosen these people think Russia is some poor 3rd world Nation…To much CNN for them hahahahahaha. Russia is not using it’s full arsenal I guarantee you that…
@BJ Rosen 👆👆sᴇɴᴅ ᴀ ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛ ᴍᴇssᴀɢᴇ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀ’ᴍ ʀɪɢʜᴛ ᴀᴡᴀʏ.
Ukraine and Moldova need mini grids. It’s too easy to knock out power that centralized.
The people, the cities currently need generators, but a longer term solution is for power banks, green tech micro-grids.
@ninemoonplanet sure like green energy has worked so well for Europe in this crisis….oh wait..
Poor Ukraine 🇺🇦. Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤❤
In my opinion, the risk of Russia rigging a nuclear reactor as a dirty bomb is really quite low, because it would be fairly easy to determine that they were at fault.
Besides that, the prevailing winds would carry the fall-out to ruSSia.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.
Glory to You, our God, glory to You
And all this against a democratic country – stay strong Ukraine, they will reap what they sow

I know he’s speaking about a very serious subject, but every time I see Leighton, I see The Grinch.
I agree that all frozen Russian assets should be immediately liquidated and the proceeds go to rebuilding Ukraine and helping its citizens now. I can only hope that all the help that Ukraine is getting brings them success as swiftly as possible. Russia must be stopped, and prevented from ever again repeating these actions.

Bahahahaha dude people are so corrupt in Ukraine you have no idea…They steal and resell everything that comes there way
God, please help restore electricity, water and food for the Ukrainian people and may it all stay on, and you know what to do with Putin, the devil incarnate. Amen.🙏🤲
I salute the resilience of the Ukranians! One can only admire. They are giving a new dimension to the concept of flexibility and adaptability!

It’s of the utmost importance now that every country stands firmly with Ukraine. We must enable them to continue their inspirational fight for freedom and democracy no matter what. Putin must understand that he cannot just invade peaceful sovereign countries as he pleases. He must learn that we will not stand idly by while he destroys an innocent people’s infrastructure and commits war crimes. I really admire the discipline of the brave Ukrainians who are defending their home without attacking the Russian mainland. It must be very difficult to resist the temptation of bombing Moscow and other Russian cities and towns. It is a testament to their honorable strength of character to refrain from doing so. They are worthy of great trust and respect. Slava Ukraine. God is with you.
LOL
How do you fight evil if you do not destroy them? Go spread your pacifist garbage elsewhere.
This is fantastic reporting.
I had thought that waging war against a nuclear superpower would be fun.
There is no punishment severe enough for what Russia is doing in Ukraine. And Russia’s actions and the level of support for Pute within Russia’s population clearly demonstrates that if permitted to succeed now none of Europe will be safe in future from Russia.
That would be an unacceptable situation for all Europeans and requires that Russia and Russians pay a very high price for their actions, as extreme as what has been inflicted by them on Ukraine. Complete reparations, trial and execution for murder of Russian war criminals and politicians, and the complete financial destruction and cultural isolation of Russia and Russians from the rest of the civilised world.
It is time to finish Russia once and for all and the war should continue until Russia itself collapses. Even then the Reparations due must be paid by all individuals of its population.
A simple and effective action would be a $15000 cost for any visa for any Russian to travel to any western country.
This would be a contribution to reparations and also a clear and permanent reminder to Russians of their recent mass murders and the extreme contempt now felt for their race and country.
