Anti-Putin Russians based in Ukraine allegedly stage incursion into Russia
The bravery of these people amazes me. Sending positive energy
its amazing to read comments like yours now that I have been made aware that the goverment and miltiary of Ukraine has many open Neo-Nazis in the the system.
@R R save you words, bots don’t listen.
You don’t see American worthless politicians are willing to put their life on the line for America. Instead we see our politicians are fighting each others for their party to divide America instead of making America better for all. Time for Americans and our Politicians to wake up and learn these noble examples from these Ukrainians.
@Owen Chang who mentioned America 😭
@OmaeWa MoShindeiru sure let me just dust it off and I’ll drive it there. 🤦🏼♀️
The people of Azerbaijan stand by the people of Ukraine. #StayStrongUkraine 🇦🇿🇺🇦✊
@Orxan yes brother, we Azerbaijanis are standing with the brave Ukrainians against Russian invasion.
@Theresa Cole What exactly is solidarity supposed to do against bullets, missles, tanks and war planes?
Put in wouldn’t dare invade Azerbaijan. The whole Muslim world would be against him!
@Rocky Racoon sadly muslims are fighting each other due to patriotism and foreign colonialism. Once we unite as mulsims under islam, your comment would be true.
@Rocky Racoon as an ex muslim, i wouldn’t think that as possible. Azerbaijan is a highly secularized, almost atheist population. ex soviet country that also has close ties with israel. And azeris are shias, they follow a divergent sect of islam . So the sunni m ajority muslim world ain’t gonna stand by them
I can’t believe how brave these people are. God bless Ukraine
@Youtube Guzzles Whale Spunk most of them are not nazis
@ksks djdj nobody is appeasing putin, other than Donald Trump
@Михаил Крафман How do Nazis denazify??? 1000+ Russian dead, burning in hell, and counting. Russia on the way to be an even poorer 3rd world country.
President of Ukraine is Jewish. Are you telling me a Jew is a neo-Nazi? Think moron…
@ThatOneGuy240 My little friend. We denazify all Nazis very easy. Just eliminate it. Last time we lose 27 millions soldiers to do that. So 1000+ it’s worth price.
She’s a brave soul! Hats off!
I hope she doesn’t get herself killed during this invasion.
If she keep wasting time on expensive Makeover even in this dire situation of her country before coming to TV interviews, then she will lost before taking arms as she will be busy with lipstick. Sad.
If only the liberals in the USA would stop trying to take away guns and the 2nd amendment. Clearly the Ukrainians are using guns to repel a foreign invasion.
Wow. This is a brave woman. I wish her and the fellow citizens of Ukraine a safe future. I fear the worst.
@Abu Hurairah Did you miss the part where she says we are staying here and we will be able to resist? What do you think she meant by that? Sit and watch??? She is a very brave woman and fighting for her country. Kudos to her and to everyone who is fighting for their freedom there!
she’ll do nothing except hide behind a man.
What about Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan? Didn’t Nato invade and then leave them counties a mess afterwards!
@Matt Horrocks yours is probably the most idiotic comment I’ve read all week… It’s hilarious all of a nonsensical BS right wing conservatives swallow… That’s why in study after study you come out as the least informed, least educated & most gullible demographic in existence… The real kicker is that u all actually believe you’re smart & well informed 🤣

This is not what civilians wanted. Please think about them. They lost home, family, and future.This is so heartbraking to watch,My prayers towards all Ukrainians.
Putin is toppling the most corrupt regime in the world. Things are not what they seem. There is no interest in hurting civilians. This country is where many corrupt politicians do their dirty business, including Hunter and Joe Biden as well as Clinton and Pelosi and many more. The funding for these corrupt politicians is about to stop.
BRAVEHEART IS BORN UNDER EXTREME AND EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES…, UKRAINIANS ARE BLESS TO HAVE SUCH BRAVE LEADERS AND PEOPLE.

Korea’s Democratic Party presidential candidate said, “The Ukraine stimulated, Russia causing war.”
Tell that to Putin.
Nobody wants this, other than Putin
May Ukraine Prevail. These brave people. Pray for peace.

@David go on support the men Trump and Putin you area Traitor to the United States of America TRAITOR 🇺🇸
Babushka, pray for peace will not happen – prepare for worse…
My heart is broken for these very brave people who are fighting for the freedom they deserve. In a time when I don’t feel as free as I did 6 year’s ago this insane movement here in the USA is starting to feel like a dictatorship taking root. It’s about time to stop letting the bullies dictate the law’s and make up their own rules. 150 year’s ago these people who spread malicious lies to incite hatred in the United States would have been hung by the neck until dead on the White House lawn…..when did we stop holding people responsible for their crimes based on how much money they have?
The Western policy of appeasement led to the rise of Hitler, this time Russia invaded Ukraine, does the West still want the policy of appeasement? Media reports say that Trump’s attitude towards China is not tough enough, but at least Trump has imposed sanctions on China, so what about Biden? Biden turned a blind eye, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the United States are only sanctions, Russia’s economy has China’s help, and sanctions against Russia will not have an effect in a short period of time

@ksks djdj The Biden leadership at the earliest onset, unhesitatingly, identified Russia publicly as the GREATEST GLOBAL THREAT by eminence—did they know that without preparing, I don’t think so, going by how they have superbly opted to bath their actions in extremely public SUNSHINE and forced Putin to embark in fast-tracked KABUKISM…
Western countries are a joke. China and Russia rule the world.
I take your point about the current state of things, but when in history were people not given a pass for their crimes based on their wealth and power? History is written by the criminals who win is all.
The bravery of the Ukrainian people is astonishing. Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 Long live Ukraine 🇺🇦
Ukraine is super corrupt. You can buy everything there. You can buy a driving license, an engineering degree, a Ph.D. diploma, etc.
I wonder how many bribes she took.
@Jerry Griffin Twat a dope!
@Toddb513 cashapp lol right as Russia are already at the capitals door step in two days🤣😅
@Jerry Griffin So what? That doesn’t mean they’re part of Nato and Biden was pushing what? What is your problem, you want this to be Biden’s fault?
@Jerry Griffin Why don’t you go vote for your lord and savior, Trump. 40 or 50 more times! Sheesh
I’m in awe of the courage of the Ukranian people!
Good thing the citizens have guns to protect themselves otherwise they probably wouldn’t be willing to fight an army, armed with firearms with their fists.
The 2nd ammendment isn’t all that bad huh?
The 2nd ammendment is like insurance so to speak.
@Matt Williams Using the worlds most generic name, and typed words… that’s hiding. Say it with your full chest, show who you are.
@Lizzet Torres Like you can read…
@DinoPal right…
@John Doe Dude Trump would’ve let Putin walk right in there, He wouldn’t have said nothing about it, it’d been no big deal.
You and I both know that.
Chill with the partisan bullshit.
People are fighting and dying and you’re out here trying to own lefties.
Way to go Scumbag.
This woman is legend! Like the Ukranian people.
@Enrique Enrique nobody is taking away the second amendment
@Matt Williams *In what would you do,take first flight 🛫 out.*
@PrinceTigerBeatz Happens all the time to countries full of brown people.
Absolutely. I may order my next girlfriend from there.
Brave woman, she’s ready to fight for the freedom of her land.

@ksks djdj you’re a liar.
Tariffs are not sanctions
Your claims are lies.
Your advertisement for authoritarianism is stupid
You are a basic troll
Brave woman…my thoughts are with the people of the Ukraine…

“armed and ready to fight” ye with lipstick and earrings sure the russian troops are afraid
@Matt Williams Maybe you could use your red hat suppository.
@Scott Meeker ye use it on you
That’s one brave woman. May God protect you and your people.
What about Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan? Didn’t Nato invade and then leave them counties a mess afterwards!
@Harpy Did you finish fifth grade?
Not brave, suicidal. She probably can’t even hold a rifle properly, let alone shoot straight.
Just free target practice for the Russians.
Amen 🙏.
I am rooting and praying for Ukraine every single minute of each day that goes by. Ukraine is outnumbered in every way possible against Russia but they are still fighting. Literally over there fighting for their lives… alone. To hear the leaders of Ukraine beg for outside help because their lives, their country, depends on it but knowing no one will be able to show up for them because they can’t, eats me up inside. It brings me to tears everytime I think about it. 😢
Whatever outside countries can do to help without doing “too much”, I hope they do and quickly. Ukraine should be appalled, praised and recognize for their courage, strength and willingness to fight no matter what the odds are. ❤
Idk how long this is going to last but when it’s over, I hope NATO and other countries can band together and help Ukraine recover and build back stronger than they were before. 🙏🏾
@PrinceTigerBeatz If that was us what? We, American Citizens, would be fighting along with our military…alone. What else are we going to do? We rather fight or run. There are literally no other choices. All this what ifs, would’ve, should’ve, could’ve, doesn’t matter. The facts are, Ukraine is over there alone fighting for themselves, by themselves. Emotions and feelings doesn’t change anything! Nothing at all. So again, I applaud and respect Ukraine for fighting under these understand horrible and impossible circumstances.
@PrinceTigerBeatz When did I say we didn’t? When did I ever say we aren’t apart of NATO? I’m over it because most of y’all come in comments to troll and make up things. It’s so childish and I can’t stomach it. But I’m a fool….okay. 👌🏾
@Camilla Morris Camelia, I am not sure why you take offense in my comment. In fact I agree with you. Why you are responding so defensively?
@Camilla Morris No you would not be fighting alone Camilla… WTF?? Why play such a victim role? Don’t you value the fact that you have hundreds of nations allied to your nation who will be ready to defend you? No appreciation at all for that?? Just because you have the biggest military, doesn’t mean that your partners are irrelevant, otherwise you wouldn’t be calling upon us each time you choose to go to war. And we have joined you every single time so far since NATO was created. I don’t get the whole victim scenario to be honest. We are an alliance, as we always have been. Don’t you take any pride in that? Personally I believe respect to our fellow allies is very valuable, because it ‘s what holds us together and makes us strong so we can fight for a greater cause and a better future for all of humanity.
@nexus solaris I don’t need you to agree with me nor am I responding defensively. This is not a debate. This conversation is irrelevant. America does not have Russia on their soil right now. So, again…all I was and am doing is giving Ukraine the props they deserve. There are online forums with hundreds, probably thousands of people who would love to go back and forth with you or anyone else about different possibilities of war scenarios. I’m just not one of them.
If there is something good about this, it is people of Ukraine being so brave and showing the world that they need help fighting for something it belongs to them and they love so much to give their lives for. Praying for them!
It’s horrifying that this level of courage is even necessary. She is the type of politician I want as a leader.
@Enrique Enrique Russia is dropping bombs and missiles.. guns aren’t going to do isht against any of that. Here’s a match go play in an oil tanker.
@jakatom Probably the same kind of country that gets invaded every few years and needlessly loses their own country’s expats to war.
@floridahacker Nobody in their right mind uses a gun against tanks, guided missiles, and jets.
@sweetsendaedreamr They still need to send in troops for a ground invasion. You do realize that right?
And to think a couple mema’s waving American flags at j6 made us look so weak. And lead the biggest Wich hunt since McArthur.
this is so heartbreaking. they’re literally alone fighting for their country and their lives 🥺💔 please help Ukrainians!!
Thanks for support!
That’s exactly what the politicians want you to say. They won’t make a move until Americans are united. All in the plans…
If only they had decided to join NATO. I know, I know 20/20 hind sight. Please I am NOT criticizing these people in any way, I only have admiration for them.
@Deb Eichmann they aren’t qualified
@Deb Eichmann not all of NATO were prepared to let them in, and its not a USA thing, all of NATO has to agree to new membership.
It is great to see the strength this woman (and all people that do so) have, to stay on the land that she loves, she was raised in and is willing to defend it at all costs. I hope this maintains. We have seen small army’s, in the end, triumph over larger powers. They should keep this hope, even though it looks grim right now.
The courage of these people is so impressive.. The whole world left them alone, but they are defending their country like heroes. Presidents, mayors, deputies, journalists and of course the public.. It’s really incredible. Their courage and devotion to their country is admirable. It’s unacceptable that the power wars of politicians and dictators destroy the lives of innocent people. Our hearts are with you Ukraine, we wish this unreasonable war to end as soon as possible with the least damage..🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🙏💙💛 Turkey is with you 🇹🇷
