Hope we will not witness any more innocent civilian casualties.
😂😂😂a channel that believes and pushes its viewers with lies on how "Ukraine is giving Russia tough time"… almost greater than 8000 Ukrainian troops are dying and Western influenced media is seeing nothing wrong with that instead they spread Zelensky's hearsay 😂😢
Bunch of hypocrites medias , children are dying on daily basis in Gaza .
Nobody seems to care about it , when its comes to Ukraine you guys expecting the whole world to cry.

Aw Diddums, it's called WAR, how many people did Germany kill when they dropped bombs on the British ?
So Sad.
Shovels of Russia are so Bad and Dangerous.
These Shovels need to be Sanctioned.
"educational institution and hospital" = Military Academy and Hospital. We know hospitals are OK because when Israel stormed one a few months ago in Gaza, Biden said "good job!"
All is fair in love and war…."
Zelensky needs to go. He seems like a person who is using Ukraine and the war to benefit his own international importance. He Brags when they kill Russians calls for more international weapons when Russia retaliates.
I don't know if they are buying them from Iran or North Korea (or both), but Russia CLEARLY has more Iskanders to use than ever before. I saw one fired at a single Ukrainian tank a couple weeks ago. Only the United States is wealthy enough to fire $1M missile at a single tank….. Something has changed; if RU has that many cheap Iskanders now……I mean those things are 1000kg of HE hitting at Mach 6 with 10m accuracy…."
Im unsure what they want they British public to do or feel? We're more concerned about the boats and hundreds of thousands of people coming over draining our gdp and public sectors??? yet i doubt that'll get much coverage. How disjoined could our government be?
Yankees, go home! The American Marines were defeated in Izmir. They were defeated. In the same way, the American military was persecuted in Sevastopol in the 90s.
No war in America over the Labor day weekend…Still more were killed here
But those were military camp, troops doing drills.
How does president of Ukraine practice penis piano play with all this drama …it must be hard to do it😂
Определено Путин няма мозък. Брутален престъпник в пълният смисъл на думата. Накрая целият Руски Народ ще плаща скъпо и солено сметката на престъпникът Путин. Бог ще накаже тежко и сурово Русия.
Don't poke Russian Bear in this proxy NATO War 😂
The issue is that Ukraine just fly drone into Russia just to make impact but Russia is hitting all her targets in Ukraine.
Zelensky the comedian, thinks he standing on a comedy stage.
If I say Russia has full right to defend itself, how will you feel 😂😂
David vs Goliath only produces a good outcome in fantasy …
Russia just holding it until usa election if trump wins this war is over, if kamala wins, welcome to world war 3
This is happening because of brainless Zhelensky. He is doing too much. He dragging everyone in to his personal war with Putin
Maybe Putin is a bit jealous of Netanyahu 😂
Fake news
The cause and foundation of the problem is italy and France Paris,Rome,Napolitano,Napoli,America, Rome,Taranto,Torino,Sardinia)(?,,
GOD bless Russia,Glory to Russia in jesus mighty name Amen)?,,
Haha the times fails to show this, I guess their propaganda isn't working so well after all.
Have been scrolling the videos of BBC, and was shock to see there was no report of Israel bombing Ghaza. Then searched the about it, and it come across that BBC is heavily funded by Israel.
The comments on this thread are 90% sympathetic towards the Russians and the fact that this war was forced on them. Strange how the BBC has never given a balanced view on the conflict. I am amazed so many people can see the truth.
Wow! 41 casualty on military training centre? What shovel and washing machine microchips cannot do never exist
Why do the bbc side with ukraine and not russia like they do with gaza who attacked isreal just like russia attacked ukraine.
Americans, wants their money BACK!
Did borris cause all this?
bbc, what happened to challenger tanks?
Ukarain and Israel has the right to defend themselves. They were both attacked first. The US and West will always support them 🇺🇦🇮🇱 🇪🇺🇺🇸
but…..kursk!
Whenever Russia strikes any infrastructure in Ukraine, the west describe these as hospital, school, mosque, charch. 😂
The blame here lies squarely on the restrictions being put on Ukraine's use of western weapons.
Oh well, chat 💩 get banged
Ukranians n russians dhould file financial compensation against nato n US for leading ukranian to devastation n lost of lives…??
zelensky the criminal comedian that destroyed his country
Military facilities struck women and children dead.
