  14. If only the British hypocrites cared about Palestinians as much as they do Ukrainians, oh the smell of zionist racism bellows from the racist Brits, good work Russia 🇷🇺

  15. funny that amerika announces to the world that they are sending 250 million to ukraine and then this huge attack happens on infrastructure well we know where that money's going to be used 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

  17. Happy New Years Zelenskyy 🎉 Next time don’t cheerlead when your criminal generals strike civilian targets. You just poked the Russian bear and we have no more money to give to corrupt war criminals. Have fun in 2024, Joe and his buddies have been hinting that your on your own this year.

  23. We need to stop this unjust war and tell putin to back off and stick to solving poisonous issues within his boarders, not spread those issues to other democractic and proposering nations.

  31. Claps for you BBC, for covering such a terrible incident caused by russian missiles while utterly ignoring the Gaza issue. Absolute hypocrisy at its finest!

  38. The BBC has lost all credibility, what about the 24 people who lost their lives to Ukrainian missiles at 10mis pass midnight, straight into a packed square, where is you reporting for that..

    When deleting comments that doesn't support your narrative..

    Lower than a snakes belly you lot, where is the balance in journalists gone

  41. This is the problem I have with the western media. When Ukraine strikes the Russian citizens, the West applauds. When Russia strikes back, the world will shake and every TV station will talk about Russia. This is hypocrisy at its highest level.

  49. It was probably Ukraine's own air defence missiles coming back down to earth having missed intercepting the incoming Russian ones.!!! Then say Russia is targeting civilians.Wake up fools
