  4. Well if they are actually gaining ground they are no longer being defensive and being the aggressor so let's not send them anymore money. Also this is just propaganda no they haven't left wing globalists who make money off selling weapons are making this stuff up go to other news sources and you'll see Putin says this is simply a lie they have taken no ground

  9. Look at all those Russian bots coming out in force. Maybe if you cowards were fighting in the trenches against ukrainian forces instead of being keyboard warriors in your mums basement Poo Poo Putin wouldn’t be getting embarrassed by Ukrainian forces taking Russian territory.

  13. Putin's minions have found this video and seem to be trying to take it over. As if the pathetic efforts of those Russian keyboard warriors will win back the territory lost by the even more pathetic Russian battlefield soldiers.

  15. This story is completely false . It’s easy to research through many commentators who are actually versed in the war . And it’s easy to see because there is no way the Ukrainians have had the time to dig in like this into almost cavern like structures . It’s a complete fantasy. Russian military reports that over 1000 Ukrainians out of a force of 3000 have been killed and the report itself contradicts itself and Indicates this is not within Russian territory. The headline and story makes no sense it’s purely propaganda . And I don’t believe there’s a journalist in northern Ukraine it’s simply untrue .

  17. Me thinks this is like the fish being lured towards the bait.
    Why the hell isn't Zelensky fortifying his positions and setting up a North/South Korea demarcation zone??

  19. The 10 thousand Ukraine troops that attacked Kursk have been wiped out. Ukraine is trying to replace those troops with forced conscripts rounded up off the streets from Odessa and Kiev who have had 3 weeks of training. Kursk is being retaken by Russian forces at this moment in time. Note: Ukraine is fighting on 4 front's ~ to open a new front line with reserves is military suicide. This incursion by Ukraine will shorten the war dramatically as Ukrainean troops are wiped out ~ 14 thousand Ukraine troops were lost in the Donbass region two days ago along with NATO forces from Poland France and the US. NATO countries have run out of weapons to send to Ukraine. Russia isn't going to lose this war and western propaganda will not win it either.

  25. So how do these men get food and artillery supplies and how on Earth could they built such shelters so well in one week?? Apparently this was filmed somewhere else.

    Some Ukrainian soldiers are being left by their commanders without food and water for days at a time while being forbidden to retreat under the threat of death, according to a Ukrainian soldier who surrendered and was interviewed by the Russian Defense Ministry.

    On Sunday, the ministry released a three-minute clip featuring Ukrainian soldier and former police officer Aleksandr Makievsky, who said he voluntarily surrendered to Russian forces after experiencing firsthand the hardships on the front line caused by the military leadership’s callous and ruthless attitude toward its own troops.

    Makievsky said he was dismissed from the police force after refusing to join a Ukrainian assault brigade. Three months later, he ran out of money and received a draft notice and had little choice but to sign a contract with the military.

    He claims he was told that he would be deployed to Donbass on the second line of defense, which was not supposed to directly engage with Russian forces.

    “We were immediately taken and dumped there and told to dig in… The spades were blunt, work was impossible,” he recalled. “We had no food or water. By the sixth day, I thought I was going to die.”

    He also recounted how one day he heard extremely chaotic and tense radio chatter when one Ukrainian group decided to retreat. “[The group] was told: ‘If you retreat, we will fire a volley of Grad rockets at your position. The war will write everything off.”

    Makievsky admitted that he was scared and wanted to leave, but he knew that he would be executed by his fellow troops. “Two brotherly peoples are being pitted against each other… War is hell… The government embezzles money while the common people suffer. They are doing business, and commanders are no better,” he added.

    Many of the Ukrainian soldiers who have chosen to surrender have accused Kiev of treating them as “cannon fodder” and failing to support them in combat with basic equipment. They have also complained of a lack of basic training and numerous desertions. Meanwhile, the Russian military has set up a special radio frequency that Ukrainians can use to surrender while guaranteeing prisoners of war humane treatment.

  28. A suggestion to Sky News (Australia): follow ABC News (Australia) and turn off the comments section. The low level of thought and insight given by commenters makes for dull reading.

  31. Do I understand correctly? Is the invasion of another country by Ukraine being presented as a normal phenomenon? This is an invasion! Ukraine has invaded another country! What are you talking about?!

  35. What are the Russo bots calling as a lie?

    FACT Ukraine seized 1250 km² in a week, more than Russia seized in a whole year at great cost.
    FACT they are still advancing.
    FACT over 90 Russian settlements occupied.
    FACT 2,000 Russian POWs gave up without a fight.
    FACT 180,000 displaced Russian some evacuees living in tents as winter approaches.
    FACT Kursk and Belgorod wheat harvest off line. These Oblasts are the breadbasket of the nation.
    FACT all the info is supported by pro-Russian mil blogger telegram channels, geolocated footage, not main stream media or Ukraine.
    FACT Russia will resort to levelling Russian settlements to evict Ukraine.

    Which facts are you disagreeing with? This is all proRussian telegram channel info. 😂
