  6. The Russians made millions of civilian victims, old people, women, children, innocent people, in the wars of occupation fought in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Georgia, Transnistria, Syria, Ukraine! The Russians have their hands stained with innocent blood and until they pay a blood tribute and recognize the massacres committed, so that they are punished, they will not have peace in their country! Putin is also guilty!

  7. Ask "expert" few key questions:
    1. Were coordinates gathered by Ukraine or by USA Satellite intelligence?
    2. Were coordinates of targets entered by Ukrainian of Ukrainian nationality or USA nationality?
    3. Was button pressed by Ukrainian or American person

  9. revenge?! 😂Crimea is the territory of Ukraine according to every international law and all worlds standards of the law and regulations! Just because Russia successfully annexed the territory in 2014 it doesn't mean that it became legitimately Russia! It's russia only in Putin's and his allies heads!

  23. its sovjet propadanga delivered by Putins regim. Putins have bombed out whole citys with 3-400.000 civilians in Ukrain were tens of thousends men, woman and children died from missiles. How dare he complain when ukrain fight back and defend them selfs. Also …How many russian wepon and russian intel have killed american or western troops all over the world. Dont throw stone when sitting in a glass house. If it werent for USA and other western alies russia wouldnt have survived WW2 who forced germany to fight a two front war, Plus west resuplied sovjet with hugh quantetys of material. West gave them both air and naval support so they manage to defend themself and push back. Still russia have threaten same western countrys frequently since end of WW2. What is putins regim so afraid of.

  24. There are news sites in English (usually names like Hindustan or India in their names) that depict the exact events with empathy on an opposite side and the comment section looks same as it's here only it's from parallel dimension. Funny world we live in where we can not agree on reality.

  25. So if Russia used North Korean Missiles like they do against Ukraine….Would DW announce and ask the question is Ukraine going to retaliate against North Korea ? 🤔

  29. U – Buys a gun, shoots someone.
    R – It was the gun sellers fault. Ok.

    Some sound Russian logic right there.
    Next they will tell us the sky is purple.
    I bet there universitys are like hospitals for disabled people 😂
