Speaking on the 8-month anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that his country is “crushing the so-called second army of the world.”
RELATED: Putin declares martial law in annexed regions of Ukraine
While warning the upcoming winter “will be the most difficult in history,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hailed the country's successes as the war against invading Russia reached the eight-month mark Monday.
Russian forces have destroyed 30% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure in a series of targeted attacks in recent weeks, Zelenskyy has said, prompting him to call for conservation efforts. But he also pointed out Monday his military's progress in reclaiming territory in the partially occupied Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv and Kherson provinces, and said the plan is to retake the Zaporizhzhia region and the annexed Crimean peninsula.
“Ukraine is breaking the so-called second army of the world,” Zelenskyy said. “Now Russia can only be a beggar. It is begging for something in Iran, trying to squeeze something out of Western states, inventing various tales about Ukraine, intimidating, deceiving.”

Смешной, как и раньше…
Hello how are you doing today?
как его еще смотрят……
Hello how are you doing today?
Привіт
Zelensky: We are crushing the 2nd wave
Russia: will just pull out another 10 waves*
Rommel: First time?
There’s one important difference between then and now. Russia is facing a major demographics collapse in the next few decades. Throwing wave after wave of disposable pawns into the meat grinder will only accelerate the process.
SUICIDAL Russia is awaiting its fall gone are the days democracy reigns
Russia just outnumbers Ukraine too heavily.. we keep hearing about Russians being conscripted, this happens in Ukraine daily.. Ukraine has been using forced conscription since this started and most of them are just as unwilling to be involved. it’s ok we can ignore the numbers but at some point Ukraine will run out of soldiers and it will be long before Russia does…
@apache Yeah. Thats literally what im saying with the meme
country U doesn’t have any army anymore. rides on survivors and mercenaries.
والله واجعني حال المدنيين في اوكرانيا، الأسباب ليست محل نقاش الآن زرعو الدم بينكم والثائر لاحولا ولاقوة الابالله العلي العظيم أنتم اخوه ماذا تفعلون هذا السلاح اولا يوجه لعدوكم الحقيقي لقد حاربتم وظحيتو معا في الحرب العالمية الثانية افيقو في اتحادكم قد تتصدرون العالم معا فقط من يريد حرمانكم من هذا النعيم لتدمرون بعضكم البعض لاحولا ولاقوة الا بالله العلي العظيم.
Hello how are you doing today?
@Prince Hamdan الحمد لله كان يوم عمل متعب الحمد لله.
they haven’t used their whole power
I can’t wait for them to take off the white gloves
NATO is obviously trying to provoke Putin into using nuclear weapons. Putting the whole world on edge, forcing other smaller country’s into joining NATO. Eliminating Russia and Belarus government will make NATO top dog
Only nuclear weapon, do you think Russia new soldiers will change anything, when they don’t even have food and water and are equipped with rusted guns 😂😂
Hello how are you doing today?
it’s unlikely they will.. Russia will continue to maintain a large reserve army inside of Russia on the chance western nations escalate this into Russia… there is millions of Russians available to send to Ukraine, they outnumber Ukraine massively… it’s a war of attrition now
Why did freedom loving Ukraine outlaw all other political parties??
Hello how are you doing today?
I admit it, he keeps playing with nuclear power put if this keep going he will probably be nuked
Everythink zelensky is saying that russia is doing is what he is doing hes always begging and wanting nuke to be used zelensky is corrupt as they come
@99alp99 FiLa We exploded a lot of atomic weapons in Nevada (USA) just north of Las Vegas. The fallout went all over the country, only issue was Kodak corporation film had to be stored in a shielded vault in New York at the factory until the fallout cooled off. It wouldn’t be such a big deal for a few nukes in Ukraine; Chernobyl fallout didn’t bother Europe much.
@Gary Fredrickson yup always destroying North America the real foreign illegal aliens from other side of Earth that invaded
Hello how are you doing today?
@Prince Hamdan Real good. We have so much natural gas that a story said the producers are paying to have it taken away! Yes sir, plenty warm, cheap power and a whole continent of Europe 🇪🇺 making us rich buying our overpriced, price gouged gas; not to mention investing and fighting for our toilet paper dollars as “world reserve currency,” maybe our Federal Reserve central bank can put those dollars on a bathroom 🚻 toilet paper roll and box them up for you.
This happen when comedian runs the nation …this is responsible for Ukraine situation
I wish my country was ruled by such a comediant! But! My country is runned by incompetent corrupt scum bag! Slava Ukrainy!
Pretty sure Russians illegal invasion is what caused the Ukrainian situation. Russian has even kidnapped hundreds of thousands of little kids from Ukraine. That’s genocide, and anyone who supports it is a monster
Like your kgb rat is any better
Peoples choice will alwys be supported majority wins
Lol like zelensky had any control over whether Russia invaded or not when he took over it was already going towards war. He’s been an excellent war time leader anyone who says against are just salty or coping it’s that simple.
Russia is begging said by greates begger in human history zelensky .
Yes but with weapons they are beating the so called 2nd most powerful nation showing you how outdated Russian forces are
@Media Don russians have 200 k troops in Ukraine and Ukrainian had 700 k troops..
Russian military eleminated majority of ukrianian militry within 100 days..
It is the endless supply of equipment by the west that still keep the UAF running..
But soon this will be over..
Hello how are you doing today?
Where are you from
What Russia has done is just a taste 🤣 once they war starts on all fronts you will see because Ukraine will be ashes then not just a pile of rubble…. this clown needs to see and understand that!
Hello how are you doing today?
Something amazing he smokes. Tommorow he will again cry 😂😂
I like how this clown tries to make his voice sound deep 😂
🤣🤣🤣🇷🇺👍
RUSSIA!!
@Oxana Orlova ❤️
It’s your war, solve your problem yourself with the Americans. Impudence nor from Europe to demand money for the reconstruction. No one helped the Bosnians and Croats during the war, let alone reconstruction
Send another batch of $32 billions….of tax payer money!!
(As a tax payer i do not prefer spending money into Ukraine war, Biden)
That’s just because you’re weak and worthless Every country has the right to defend themselves.
And I’ll remind you that Joe Biden didn’t even want to get involved with this war at all. Joe Biden was working with Russia to work out an Iran nuclear deal.
I’m guessing that you’re not part of the United States because you would have already known that. It was the outcry from the United States citizens that demanded the United States help out Ukraine.
The United States citizens controls what the United States government does. Joe Biden was given absolutely 0 choice but to help Ukraine.
Failing to obey the United States citizens Demand can get you removed by force.
That being sad.
As a United States Citizen I 100% support Ukraine but I don’t know if this is a very wise choice to be taunting Russia.
That is threatening nuclear war this seems pretty stupid to me.
Ukraine is only defeating Russia because of the United States’s help Financial and military hardware.
Everything he said is the truth but it doesn’t really need be said.
@Pamela Johnson Hey, yes iam a weak tax payer with no power or no say in how my tax money is being sent into war but you may keep the worthless aspect. Rest of your blabberings are returned back to you.
World has awakened including US citizens.
Looks like you are not a citizen of USA, may not be paying taxes either.
Yes,
You are breaking the 2nd strongest nation with the rest of the world helping you…
Don’t be arrogant,
Be grateful!
🌎🌍
🙏
Don’t be stupid. We send small boxes with supply and they do the hard job
@Christopher Christian VanLang small boxes? You have sent more military aid than the whole Russian military budget …
agreed 100%

@Christopher Christian VanLang Do you know what wins wars ?
Intelligence the 4000 United States satellites that can see What brand of cigarettes you have in your pocket.
Ukraine is getting live updates From the United States letting them know where Russia’s troops are. Elon musk is spending 20 million dollars a month providing them with Startlink satellites
The United States tax payers Has them $16.9 billion In Military aid.
Smallboxes well if you don’t need our help we can just leave I mean you got this right I mean you got this right?
You don’t need our help anymore right?
This guy was asking for more anti-air missiles free of charge from Europe the other day, It would otherwise be a great speech if he didn’t let the others pay for his war.
That man has taken begging up to a new level.
As a United States citizen I’ve been 100% supportive Of Ukraine’s war I think the country has the right to defend themselves however after this message I’m kind of rethinking that.
It seems like they have this wrapped up. Instead of being grateful towards the people helping him hes being obnoxious and taunting Putin.
