🇺🇦Russian troll farm below.
BBC couldn’t look into a true story if it smacked them in the face they are controlled media stop listening to them
CIA plot to gain sympathy for the embezzler. If anything, the CIA could cancel Zelensky just as they did Diem of Vietnam. He is losing support so he has to go? He should call elections. Then not run. He is not responsible to make sure the elections go on. He did the democratic thing and is off the hook. He did not run like a coward, he did the right thing and saved face. Then retire to his villa in Italy because of the stress of war and he wants to be with his family. Don't call me. Right now, he cannot trust anyone. His own wife could do him in to be free of this manure pile. His trip to Davos and all the sex parties could not have helped his marriage.
What is this lady newsreader's name?
Propaganda
Zilisky doesn't serve any purpose in office
To be got rid off if anyone it be America to replace him
Putler looking for an inauguration present. Hope he gets a smoking Kerch bridge instead.
More like someone said something like let's do a piece deal.
Seems legit
If u bleev bbc ur 8yrs old
Stay away from windows Zelensky!
I assumed this has been happening the whole time.
Nobody believes the BBC anymore. Or our own NPR.
Methadone again?
With Zelensky being so very unpopular in Ukraine It's only a matter of time before others have a go…
So the BBC continue their ploy to oresent Zelensky as an innocent protecting his people and his country. Instead of a nazzi and leader of the Azof battalion who have given Ukraine to private company Blackrock to do with what they like. Zelensky is jewish and so is Larry Fink the president of Blackrock. The company that owns the world. Check them out. Im sure it's nothing to worry about though
Can you actually believe any thing the BBC says.?
I can't find Putin's inauguration address on CNN so I came to BBC. Not here either
Yea
This is a lie
Fake news
I noticed this a while ago: ANY video with Zelenskyy gets immediately swarmed by Ivan bots.
Bullshit propaganda as usual
When will his blatant actions as criminal and thug be punished?
Two government protection team officials, at the behest of Ukrainian Poroshenko ordered the Hit on Zelensky.
Fixed your shitpost for you.
This just a lie, Putin knews very well ZELE-CRAZY is irrelevant. Stop with this fake news, if anybody wants him dead that would be his people. Never Russia
Of course because this is being reported by the BBC, it probably isn't true.
Shame on BBC for deleting my comment.
Does anyone actually believe this nonsense propaganda…. Ukrainians are getting slaughtered all for American weapons manufactures profits…. Shame shame
Probably isn't true.
A certain 'small dick energy' man is getting very desperate.
This his just shows putin's desperation. 🇺🇸🇺🇦
Zelensky's coca¡ne habit will
eventually be his end of days.

More BS propaganda on the BBC. 🤔
Who cares
Clown has put his country in mess.
Deceptive LIES😅😅😅
Zelensky really got a lot of support from his own people, does he ? lol
Zelenskyy’s lame attempt to get rid of his opponents. A corrupt failed actor and failed leader
Turn Zelensky over to President Putin NOW!!!!!!!!!!
Ukraine is been held hostage by the Zelens puppet & the west.
We know who’s behind that if it’s true and that’s not Russia 🇷🇺.
Breaking news? Ukrainian intelligence also says they need a lot of British tax money and free weapons to defend themselves.
Next time you are gone Zelensky, and if you go, please be a good shepherd on Moses's ducks or otherwise your soul will rest in devil's hell…been telling you to surrender long back and you are refusing, taking Ukrainian people for granted….🇷🇺🇧🇾🇮🇩🇷🇺🇧🇾🇮🇩🌍🇷🇺🇧🇾🇮🇩🌍👏💪🇷🇺🇧🇾🇮🇩🇷🇺🇧🇾🇮🇩🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪💪💪😘
