  13. Putin had warned Ukraine not to attack Russian territory which Crimea is an integral part. Ukraine attacked and destroyed a ship in Crimean port. This is Russia's response to that outrage. One Russian ship was destroyed but Russia's retaliation is horrendous. Very many Ukrainian infrastructures, military industrial and civilian have been destroyed.And more attack is on the cards. Who is encouraging Ukraine to commit saucide? Russia is not going to run out of missiles. Let Ukraine go for peace talk and not depend on western support with more weapons & dollars. None of these things will help Ukraine. Ukraine is on the verge of total destruction. Putin is a sane person unlike what's going on in Gaza.

  18. Putin is doing it because he knows he won't face any repercussions. Nato and US are very weak and putin knows it. Everyone is frightened of putin, he kills his opponents but tomorrow putin will also die. Not in his bunkers but where God chooses for him . He thinks he's above everybody, he doesn't respect anyone but he wants to be respected.. Every day for thief, oneday for master the saying goes.

  21. I have never seen so many Russian bots in the chat trying to justify Russias bombing of maternity hospitals and apartment buildings. Its pretty obvious the robot 🤖 farm is on full display. Some Russian oligarch somewhere must have just opened a troll farm. Oh well, at least they get to collect their 10 rubles a day! 😂

  24. What law which country follows them well Isreal doesn’t where’s the sympathy what Israel bloody doing is acceptable and killing 25.000 innocent people is ok , oh yeah there’s isn’t bcoz they are Muslim and Arabs. Racist countries.

  34. Russia 🇷🇺 known as the Soviet Union was founded by Vladimir Lenin in 1922 after the Russia revolution and Vladimir Lenin was in charge of Soviet Union as a chairman for 2 years until he died of stroke and then Joseph Stalin took over as a leader of Soviet Union known as general secretary for 29 years until he also suffered a stroke and then George malenkov took over as a chairman from March to September 1953 and also Nikita kruschev the first secretary took over from 1953 to 1964 and Leonor brenzhev first secretary later general secretary 1964 to 1982 and yuri Andropov 1982 to 1984 general secretary and Konstantin Chernenko general secretary 1984 to 1985 and Mikhali gobachev general secretary and later president 1985 to 1991 until Soviet Union was a dissolved after the end of Cold War

  35. The UN is controlled by Russia, China and Iran. Do you really think the UN has any say in its ability to do anything? While the USA is the largest contributor of this organization. The members and influence is the communist countries. The BBC too is a liberal communist propagation machine for the CCP why would you believe its reporting? You can't!

  40. Lol I don't know weather to laugh of cry,the west has an issue with this while Israel has obligated and mass executed woman and children for 2 months now yet the west won't condemn.

  41. Interesting take on this. Russia bombs Ukraine and hits civilians and civilian infrastructure .War crime says UK and UN. Ukraine launches attack on Russia. Hits civilians and civilian infrastructure. Silence. Israel launches attack on Gaza hitting civilians. Silence. In fact UK and USA says it ok. This is what is wrong with the world. Depends on who's killing civilians.
