  1. Everyone says the counteroffensive is slow . What do people want to win in a couple of days . This is war . It’s a slow grind sometimes. The Ukraines are constantly on the offensive taking positive ground . The Russians are on the defensive and losing ground .

  3. Russia just needs to keep pounding the Ukraine Cities with the population still there… They are never going to be the same again. The Territory they are fighting for is new boundries. Ukraine obviously lost this war. Cant even take back their land from them. Glory to Russia.

  4. Once rockets with nuclear warheads lends in New🧅York, Washington DC, San Francisco, Berlin, Essen, Munich, Hamburg, Warsaw, Szczecin, Krakow, Paris, Lyon, Nantes, Manchester, London and Birmingham the King Charles/Biden’ War against Russia, Saudi, India and CHINA is not going to be so wonderful. King🥞Charles got all the European countries against Russia like Germany’s Hitler and French’s Napoleon did, “Hitler and Bonaparte were beaten by Russia” There is a great chance that the USA will not win WW3

  5. The Ukrainians haven’t even gotten to Russia’s first line of defense. 1.2 million casualties for Ukrainians and Nato mercenaries, with 400,000 K.I.A, in one and a half years. Good job! 👍🏻

  6. they have not even reached the first line of defense, this is insane what kind of propaganda is performed in this war…they report a village with few houses as a turning point in the war… while no one covers the Russian offensive at the east which is a threat to the town of Kupjansk and even Kharkiv…

  7. The situation is so catastrophic that Zelensky even banned strongly pro-Ukrainian Western media from coming near the front lines. Some Ukrainian soldiers, who spoke on condition of anonymity, were too frank with Western reporters in describing Zelensky's mass slaughter of unfortunate Ukrainian conscripts. For example, the NYT quoted a wounded Ukrainian soldier as saying, "They shot us like on a shooting range." According to his fellow soldier, "his battalion suffered so many killed and wounded that only 10 men remained on the front line." WaPo reports that another failure by Zelensky has caused bitter recriminations on Capitol Hill

  8. This news about a breakthrough is not credible. The Ukrainians have now lost 400,000 men and recently committed their last reserves. The Russians have used their control of the skies and their vast superiority in artillery to methodically identify and destroy Ukraine's attacking forces. Ukraine has no air defenses left and cannot protect its troops. As a result their attacks are suicide missions. The Russians have at least 300,000 fresh troops, plenty of ammo and have now gone on the offensive in the north. The US is responsible for this terrible war aimed at Russia. This is not about freedom for Ukraine. The Ukraine president Zelensky banned all opposition political parties and shut down all media outlets except his own state propaganda network. Ukraine outlawed the Russian language even though more than a third of the country is ethnically Russian. As I write the Ukrainians are persecuting the eastern orthodox church, seizing church properties and throwing priests into prison. The Ukrainians have been selling children into sex slavery and also preying on their own people as well as Russian prisoners, by trafficking in body parts. It's called organ trafficking. Israel is one of the main buyers. Ukraine is the most corrupt nation in Europe. The main victims of this awful war are the Ukrainian people. Pray for peace! If we do not bring it to an end soon — the war will escalate and could trigger WW III.
