I always hope for the worse when cnn isdoing the reporting….A few dead cnn people is a good thing fir all the fake news they peddle
journalism has always been risky and dangerous, iโm surprised this is a revelation to you
NO worry! They are being PAID far more MON$Y than those Ukrainian soldiers and National Guardsmen and women!
@smkxodnwbwkdns derderderderderderder
keep fighting ukraine take back every inch of your home.
im actually surprised at how useless the russian military is.
@Red Rick bruh most of the russian are minorities and zoomers lol. realistically russia is going to win
Russia has been at war with NATO on the territory of Ukraine since 2014. NATO occupied Ukraine and raised fascists from Ukrainians, just as the United States and Britain brought Hitler to power in 1933 and raised fascists from Germans. The scenarios are repeated, again Britain and the United States are pitting nations against each other for the sake of global influence. Russia will go all the way until the United States and Britain become democratic countries under the rule of the people, not corporations and oligarchs…
@Ryan lex it is, but first there’s a lot of Red trash that needs burying there. Maybe you can help. Start digging.
@Eric P depends on how far you want to take it. 30 western(superior) countries against a half bankrupt Russian state? No contest.
@Eric P It’s funny how you think 300,000 civilians with soviet weapons will do something. They will give up once their fellow Russians explode into pieces from US artillery.
We have expressions like “Dutch Auction”.
Well, now we have “Russian Referendum” which means armed soldiers turn up at your house, force you to vote, and carefully watch which box you are ticking.
@Peter Slegers say cheers to your nuts. Gonna freeze off this winter. Julle is lekker in julle moer in. Koue winter vir jou, geniet๐
@Ryan lex ๐คก
@Eric P it wouldn’t be sham voting. It would be democratically elected officials deciding how they want the future of their country to go.
@La Duchesse Thanks for demonstrating you can’t answer a simple question.
Doesnโt matter if armed guard came or not .. the outcome to the vote would always be the same. Even if every single person voted to stay with Ukraine it would be the same outcome. The guards are there to protect the people going door to door from being attacked. They donโt need to use force or scare people into voting to be with Russia.. the Russians are counting the votes
The hardest part now is to keep the momentum of the counteroffensive, but and I truly have hope in the Ukrainian will…
They have shown to be the epitome of: “We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle, nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.”
Winston Churchill
@Micheal Jones Total nonsense.

@gyanprovu really? I would classify the UK as great ally and beak on of independence and freedom, but I am just an American.
@public enemy #1 you mean a lot
@New Orleans September 11, 1935 Coming from a person that most likely said Kyiv was a feint, and Kharkiv was a controlled withdraw, that would be shortly follow be a trap. ๐คฃ๐
As a person from India, its weird to see Putin not being able to understand that he is giving NATO and Western military establishments a priceless gift: a real-time opportunity to test their latest weapons, weapons-systems and combat tactics, at no cost. Plus, the Ukranians are smart enough, and motivated enough, to put everything into practice, and to provide real-time feedback. This situation could not be fully replicated in any training context – how good is that! Unless Putin pulls the plug on this adventure now his military will be so strategically and tactically degraded that it will no longer exist as a viable military force for decades to come, if ever. Their incompetence is extraordinary.
@Sharky1101 Russias military has shown its hand. It is not able to produce even an effective fighting force. The concern that Russia could attack NATO has gone months ago as I believe that even Putin and Lavrov (stupid as they are) realise they will not last a week against just one NATO member. The only threat they have left is nukes, thats why he keeps mentioning them in every TV address. The 300,000 (most likely 1 million) people he’s going to throw at Ukraine is just another way of saving their skin for maybe another six months.
@Dan The Man
Of course I do. I also have been in the North of India for three weeks in 2019.
All I said is that India is not a Buddhist country.
@Glenn D.
Not true. From ๐ช๐บ
@gyanprovu โas a person from Indiaโ ==> who the feck cares that youโre from India man? Why donโt you go help the Russian front and tell the rest of the world proudly that Ukraine is running out of weapons after a HIMARS lands on your head. But youโre just a chicken shiit keyboard warrior.
You are right about the weapon testing. But not about the other. America will cut aide soon. Americans are over the entire ordeal Republicans take the house in Nov
I love that they put little quotes around it, as if we didn’t already know they were lying.
@Nicolรฒ Modica sorry I forgot that stupid people don’t understand sarcasm! ๐คฃ RuZZia must be the 1. in your “war games” right?!
@Nicolรฒ Modica If your guess is that Bayraktar X is 15 years old, then I guess, you must be ten years old or so! Get a grip! With his remark about the war games Bayraktar X was referring to a comment by TheMechanic higher above in this thread. You donโt get any point for not being able to see the whole picture. Your comment was like scoring an own goal in a football match.
@Ryan lex BDS so bad you’re wishing a foreign country gets nuked.
@Ryan lex lol ๐คฃ๐คฃ they having a really rough time, Russia to the end
Being born in the 70s I always hated it when there was general antipathy against Russia. I always thought that, despite all differences, it was possible to get along with another.
But especially starting about 15 years ago Putin did everything to make Russia a fascist state, full of fascist and/or apathetic people. A state that in the last decade has attacked Europe and the US with cyber attacks and propaganda.
Now Russia is threatening and attacking the whole world, and now, even more then before, every country should participate in supporting Ukraine. To save Ukrainian people, but also to save the rest of the world from THIS Russia. If Russia succeeds with their crimes and threats, then what should deter other countries to do similar?
@Satanic Panic Fun and Games yes it does appear that way. But adolph did need stopping. The atrocities he and his buddies did was the worst a group of people could do to another group of people. Since when do people (?) need to get rid of other people? Growing up all over the world and greeting-meeting all the different cultures, customs, views is something everyone needs to do. You end up appreciating everyone and everything you run across, no matter what religion, what color, and each other peoples lives are about. It would be nice if everyone could see the world like that and get along with EVERYONE else…
They have also violated our airspace and seaspace on numerous occasions. Not long ago they flew close to Gotland with a nuclear-capable aircraft (not armed, of course). This is the kind of insanity we have to put up with because of Putin.
@Bobbie Campbell Unfortunately, if rest happens, the US and Europe will be destroyed
@Shah Rahman Dude, Russia is the aggressor here. Itโs Russia which is against the whole world except for a handfull of countries and not much more, upon which most of them are dictatorships just like Russia.
Q: save the rest of the world from THIS Russia…
A: Muscovy is not Russia, historically. And Muscovy never was any different since its emergence in 1501. There is no slightest bright spot in its pitch-dark and totally macabric history of endless slaughtering.
Reminds me of what Stalin said during WW2 while in a Summit meeting with Churchill and Harry S Truman. During a discussion of who will be able to vote after the war in Eastern Europe, Stalin said I do not care so much who votes if I do who has control of counting the votes.
Russia has always been an embarrassment and now thanks to Putin Zelensky goes down in history as a war hero Ukraine will be able to be rebuilt economically, huge investments from all around the world are pouring in to the country that otherwise wouldโve never come the world has given Ukraine seemingly the second best army in the world, their reputation grows day by day theirs countless stories of Ukrainian heroโs and a growing number of atrocities committed by Russia, while Russia will desperately try to brainwash the next generation like they did with the older ones the rest of the world will be teaching how Nazi Russians lost another war
@Russell Feldman no. Either get medicated or grow up.

@Alan Torres russia has already collapsed.. it has a gdp smaller than indonesia and cant make repairs to equipment that controls half of their exports. they cant make or repair cars, airplanes or railroad cars.. they cant make or export defense items. ..they literally buying 1960s stuff from north korea. and best of all, anyone with a college education is now learning how to speak finnish to fit in with their new country.
Guys reply back to my comment when the results are in. Want to know who wins the vote. Thanks.
@Peter Sedesse I’m not on his side but Putin is building a alliance. India might Join him also. But they said he must end the war first. He also has China on his side . He might end up with China, India and Iran and North Korea. He is hardly finished yet. Once you get China on your side who else do you need.
History never fails to reapeat itself
Vladimir Putin living in the past! He wants to re-unify the old Soviet Union!๐คจ
Oh another cliche, how cute. ๐ฅฑ
Sure doesn’t.
@Bunsdad yeah and they would definitely rig it anyway, the same they did for putin’s elections.
@Bunsdad the Russians have violated lesser agreements. They can’t be trusted.
What they done to that guy at 4:46 is revolting ๐ You must no be part of this world to do this to each others ๐ฆ What is the point of making each other suffer ?
@NBA1 u are funny dude, with ur hacked link that trace my ip
That guy is a neona55i of azov battalion
U make other suffer to.show people and they get scared. Being killed right away is one thing but torture is another scary thing.
@Norma Colon you must be from Persia, I thought it this way
Thank God this world has Putin who saves the lives of Russian-speaking Ukrainians in Donbas from being killed by Zelensky approved Azov
That was a difficult photo to see of the POW, so glad he survived and is now home getting medical aid and some TLC. Slava Ukraini.
Starving the prisoners to walking skeletons.. where have I seen that before? Oh right.
Agree Putin is fucking mad sorry for the language but I’m angry. He is out of control. Stay strong Ukraine
Itโs not just him. Russian POWs are well cared for & fed. Some even look too fed. Many POWs look hollowed out & MANY sustained severe torture. This guy as well as others too you can see what looks like cigarette burns between his eyes
Many of Ukrainian soldiers return home castrated after russian prison. It is the thing that nobody wants to talk about. Even Nazi did not do that. Two of my grandfathers were captured by Germans in WW2 and lived long happy life after that. But that is not an option with russian orcs.

For those who only follow “general news” reports and not some war maps updated from military sources on the ground: in the Bakhmut area Ukrainians have pulled back slightly from a stretch of area east of Bakhmut to the eastern outskirts of Bakhmut itself. It seems Russia is focusing an attack there. This isn’t hugely concerning as the Ukrainians have been experienced for quite some time now in holding the frontline and on top of that if a few settlements have to be temporarily abandoned it will not affect the outcome of this war. More positively, if Ukraine can keep hitting warehouses and convoys, then those advancing Russian forces may even get stuck. There is also the rumoured third counteroffensive in the Donetsk area that can happen.
Meanwhile, there are some lowkey breakthroughs happening on the Luhansk front, especially past Rubtsi and Lozove that may make a surround on Lyman soon possible. Ukrainian forces are also deepening a push east of Kupiansk and Dvorichna past the Oskil, the supply line along the east side of the Oskil is at the moment pretty much unusable by Russians. Russians are definitely on the backfoot on the Luhansk front, again.
Kherson meanwhile has seen more active fighting while the frontline seems to have somewhat stabilized, but Russian forces are very likely still at breaking point. It’s a bit of a waiting game until Russians there crack completely and Ukrainians can capitalize on the situation.
Despite the general positivity, we of course need to continue supporting Ukraine with everything we have so that Russia will not get away with this. The Kremlin can threaten all they want, but they fear Ukraine, they fear NATO powers and they fear losing Russian public support.
@Relaxed Sack I’m not your bud and the best indicator of what will happen in the future is what has happened in the past just like the best indication of a persons future behavior is there past behavior.
Russia has all the gains in the areas it wants and will continue to do so in any part of Ukraine it wants to.
Ukraine has done nothing militarily except in Kharkiv, an unimportant area for Russia who had few troops there.
The future for Ukraine? Hundreds of thousands will be dead, tens of thousands of Ukrainians will be widows and orphans(while Zelesnky gets rich and his wife and family are safe. Same with the entire Ukrainian Parliament), Ukraine will be in ruins. Russia will permanently control over 1/3 of Ukraine that includes their oil, gas, and coal deposits as well as the most of the agricultural lands.
The U.S. will have more and more inflation by spending, spending, spending on this war and domestically. The U.S. will be in recession for years.
The EU’s economies will be destroyed. There will be riots over fuel and food costs.
All this over NATO expansion so NATO can sell weapons of war to everyone it can recruit with scare tactics while pretending NATO is not a Nazi organization who supports Nazis any place they can find them.
@New Orleans September 11, 1935 Haha wow, you are deep in the hole, Good luck with YouTube propaganda. Funny thing is you are almost definitely an actual Nazi
@New Orleans September 11, 1935 i agree but i really couldnt care less for russia either. fk me man i hate subhumans controlling us manlet zeleksky and coping putin
Too. Much. Reading.
@Peezie Forestem its general knowledge agreed by both russian and Ukrainian. If anything the russian side is painting a lot worse picture, I am guessing just to disprove it later on or something.
The world has a duty to stop this madness

I’m so proud of how Ukraine is standing up to Putin’s monsters. He’s like having Hitler with nuclear weapons and I for one am tired of his threats. It’s about time that Ukraine has real help against evil.
@Mike Honcho they actually have NATO jets given the fact that some NATO countries uses soviet weapons, but even that won’t help them though they are losing against a well defended russian positions, and the one’s they have taken have pockets of defenders or local militia defending it, that is why with these mobilization they can retake the kharkiv region and then Odessa.
@Darko 1234 they couldn’t beat United States let alone NATO lol
@Mike Honcho you will never know that? and pray that they don’t fight..in case you forgot Russia is a member of CSTO and SCO just russia and China alone already dwarves the army of all NATO combined and we’re still not counting the members countries in there see the big difference when you add the dragon in there and don’t underestimate China militarily and technologically they are at par with US not to mention they defeated US back in the korean war would you look. at that hahaha๐คฃ
The West has been too slow to act and that has increased the danger for us all. It is time to end Russia’s occupation of Ukraine.

Welcome home to those two who went to fight. Gotta respect men who are backing up our allies who need it most. Hopefully the Ukrainian people keep standing strong and fighting for their freedoms. It’s tragic to see the need, but here we are, despotic dictators doing what they do. X.x
So sad to see these brave people go through this because of some dictator’s warped thinking.
