What do you expect to happen if you keep attacking oil refineries
Exchange bombs is bad for people.
Ukraine should go to the negotiation table – immediately ! Peace!
Innocent people dying but Zelensky does not want dialogue he wants war to continue to destabilise whole Europe
Ukraine not deserve better than this. Western provocation caused pain for Ukrainians
Russia propaganda. Russia runs out missiles.
Again, Ukraine intercepted more missiles than Russia actually launched 😁

Zelenskyy wants more war. Because he wants money 💰 fame and specially 🥰 HUG from allies. 😂😂😂
This is retaliation
Putin getting serious now.
Heartbreaking to watch this.
Russia is nothing but mud and death.
Has never changed in 1000 years.
Very painful situation but unfortunately they have chosen that all themselves, to be the part of EU and NATO instead of living neutral with both sides, now they stuck between the rivalry of two big powers, may GOD bring peace for all 🤔🤔
This is Russian propaganda, Ukrainian air defenses intercepted every single missile and even the aircraft that fired them.
The Ukrainian air defense systems even bomb Russian missile factories in response even.
Call it. The Russian are coming. Slowly but surely. Ask the country Germany
Shovels are very dangerous
Humility
Zelenskyy can't surrender after taking in so much aid…..
Shame on Zellensky. He is counting dollars while his countrymen are dying and suffering
Stalin is back 🤣🤣🤣
Surrender already. The majority of NATOS population is sick and tired of this war and want nothing more to do with it.
dont worry eu will give built houses
