  1. General Zelensky Bonaparte enters Russia. That's a big mistake. No wait, he's not there. He's busy getting rich just like his buddies are in the White House.

  2. What this video didn't explain.

    On August 14, 2024

    According to Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, the commander of the Ukrainian military, troops advanced 1 to 2 kilometers (approximately a mile) further into Kursk on Wednesday. In addition, they captured over 100 Russian soldiers, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stating that these prisoners would eventually be exchanged for Ukrainian POWs.

    In response, the Russian Defence Ministry released videos claiming to show its forces capturing Ukrainian soldiers. Russia has asserted that since the onset of hostilities in the Kursk region, Ukraine has suffered significant losses, including up to 2,300 troops, 37 tanks, 32 armored personnel carriers, 18 infantry fighting vehicles, 192 armored fighting vehicles, 88 motor vehicles, four anti-aircraft missile systems, two MLRS launchers, and 15 field artillery guns.

  3. Anyone catch that comment, how Russia is targeting their own civilians?….meanwhile Ukrops doing exactly that, killing Russian citizens, looting stores….

  4. If Ukraine was run by Trump, he would have handed it over to Putin as long as he let him build a hotel there. Ukraine should be proud that their leader was an actual man instead of a beta boy, wannabe dictator, like Trump.

  5. The fake news channels are always giving false details until it’s time to give out Military plans , tactics and info pertaining to pre-invasion locations 🤦

  6. So went from holding down Ukraine to not be taken to them going into Russia. Seems like a terrible idea from everything I've learned over the years about all this.

  7. This is all fake so after they rig the election again and Harris takes office they'll give them more money. Just wait and see they are going to milk everything they can get and Harris will give it to them.

  9. Anybody realized, Russia have eyes in the sky? And Ukraine don't have air support? It looks like a trap..
    Ukraine can go in , but hard to go out..and impossible to hold , it means to received FAB bomb..

  10. The area is a pinprick compared to the size of Russia. As of today, the Ukrainians are being pushed out and many have surrendered. They have wasted their lives for absolutely nothing.

  11. This is the most melodramatic, inaccurate piece of nonsense I've seen recently. And that is saying something; there has been a lot of competition for this award. In the future, skip the lofty language and report the truth. What is happening inside of Ukraine as a result of this fool's errand? How many Ukrainian men have been killed as a result this cheap media stunt? Thousands.
