Not for putin.but For mighty Russia.Join and save ur land.u r the most powerful people In planet..That's what ww2 says
Russia recruiting more people to voluntarily die for his own greed of power
Zelensky otherwise acknowledged that 34k Ukrainians died in war , and Ukraine is winning , but somehow still needs our money and weapons
Men in NATO countries are the next
We don’t want war with Russia
WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF EVERYONE HAS A MILLION DOLLARS ? It means the word loses its meaning.
The same way his boost of untrained troops is useless when matched against NATO counterparts 🤣🤣🤣
Russia has proven there weak…..still sending young people to there death…ukraine will be victorious
Long live Russia
If Russia lost 600k troops and it is Ukraine that has shortage of manpower, how many troops has Ukraine lost then?
Are they boosting the army, or are they just keeping up with the attrition of their army?
With what equipment? There hardware is mostly gone. He’s lying just like the whole Putin regime.
well nato asked for it with their long range strikes against Russia
lol protecting the motherland in another country eh?
What "threats"?? Russia is the biggest threat to the world at this time.
Russia has nice uniforms.
There is no threats to Russia, they need to increase army size to compensate for their heavy losses, due their invasion of another country – Ukraine. Russia are the biggest threat to everyone else.
It's propaganda muscle… 🤣🚮. Why don't u talk about the west African nations that France has been exploiting.
To understand what the mistake of the USSR and the Russian Federation is, we need to compare how it is in healthy countries, for example America and Canada, why are they not in a state of emergency or war among themselves? because in countries like these there is no threat that someone from them wants to harm us. That America, for example, will not steal something from Canada. And why is there a threat in the USSR and the Russian Federation that America and other countries will harm you. Or will NATO rob the Russian Federation? they allegedly had and are about to steal something from the USSR and the Russian Federation. This is a mistake in thinking. It is enough to have healthy relationships, do not terrorize, do not intimidate and do not attack. Give other countries good conditions so that they do not want to change anything, give them a sense of security and prosperity. and what did the USSR and the Russian Federation do? It creates such conditions that countries such as Chechnya, Afghanistan, Georgia, Ukraine want to separate from them, because the Russian Federation creates very bad conditions for them. For example, America creates good conditions for Canada and Canada for America. the problem is in the minds of certain Russians. So Vladimir Lenin's idea and execution were only wrong and these mistakes were continued by Joseph Stalin, today Vladimir Putin… That's the point. The problem is in thinking and perceiving reality. A person should work with his head, with his thinking. It's a pity that Vladimir Lenin didn't work with his thoughts. We still have these mistakes today in this war. U079
West has pushed world to the edge. Europe, middle east, Asia, Africa where you are involve you have destroyed world peace. Your hypocrisy towards Palestine has changed the world
Ukraine says Russia lost 600,000 troops. Zelensky says Ukraine only lost 30,000. Once a comedian always a comedian. 🙄🙄🤡🤡
The White 🇺🇲 House has a problem :
Ambiguity on Good vs. Evil
I see brainwashing and propaganda still well alive in Russia
One thing that people don't understand is that even with decreased resistance by the Ukrainians the Russians must proceed slowly and methodically due to the presence of land mines, booby traps and drones.
Putin be like Saddam when he invaded iran and becone the 4th largest army in the world, but when it in came contact with the yanks at Kuwait, it fell apart with 250:1 death ratio.😂😂
US lost 2500 troops in 20yrs of Afghanistan. Russia is losing an average of 1000 a day. But sure, Russia can rival NATO 🙄
Sadly no one is talking about this propaganda channel 😂😂
Russia : Attacks a sovereign country, killing thousands and illegally annexing territories.
Also Russia : "We are being threatened here 🤡!!".
😂😂😂😂

Why does Putin want to kill more young Russians? Because he played poker and now can’t stop. Unfortunately he is playing with thousands of lives plus the possibility of the Russian economy collapsing. Putin Will eventually have to start printing billions of worthless roubles that will only buy Russia products. How sad that for a few power greedy corrupt leaders.
