Victory to Ukraine!!
P.s. I expect I’ll get loads of Russian bots replying 😂
4th year lol
Druganov.
Thats the time confusion lasted longer than world war 2 for russia. Not for us its 3 year. Well not enough is done for peace. No investigations in russia occupied ukraine to see results. And people. If russia give up military annexation of said regions what of the resistance left behind, would there be residual or unhappiness if return to ukraine. If ukraine obtain ultimate security guarantee historical moscow would indeed be within an attack range in which response may not be possible.
What to do how to do? And ultimately why.
The building which saw damage was very well made and resistant to damage. No twin towers like incident. Only small part of building effect.
Who is aggressor who is defender
What is even happening
Ukraine has turn into aggressor after being defender, russia could edge closer and then sooner or later
HD footage of most high tech weapon usage and then drive for conscription in europe and sooner of later everyone is using their best weapons
And at the end of it we can frame the reference
Was city building and government worth it if we are no better than ants in a mound. Or termite in the spire.
Why didnt Russia just borrow some tanks or missiles from North Korea?
The parade that should not happen tbh. How boring – no military vehicles. Let’s hope for the missiles to rain down on the parade!
How is Poo'tin 3 days special millitary operation in Ukraine going? 😅
Occupied Kiev centre evacuated yet?
If Putin crawls out of his hiding place, for this parade, Ukraine should greet him with a flamingo.
Terrorist treats? It’s a war they started it… conchudos!
Dismounted infantry. A wiser man would settle. 1:22 fsb 🇰🇿
Maybe they can borrow some floats like snoppy or Spiderman for their half ass parade
Its a legit target, hit it hard.
4 and half years after Eu/Nato started backing Kyiv and zero results for Eu or Nato. No returns only losses.
That special military operation is taking a bit longer than originally expected if you ask me.
Bad reporting from Rosenburg. Ukraine did not hit a Moscowctower block. It was clearly a fragment shot how by Russia. The point being Ukraine does not target civilians. It is Russia that targets civilians. Like yesterday they again targeted and blew up a Kindrrgarten.
Meanwhile in Nato Latvia, Ukrainian drones hit structures.
Russia is clearly going to have to demonstrate to Nato Europe what kinetic orbital bombardment is again. This time with no ability for the Nato media to hide the results of.
