The tail of that traffic jam at the Kerch bridge is approaching Kyiv faster than Russian soldiers.
Watch the war not ending 40 days from now.
"Hovether" 😂
украина не может добиться победы, потому что у них нет своей обученной армии, уже скоро женщины пойдут в ход
Ukraine is fighting on all fronts! Their women, while their men are being captured by cannibals on buses, are fighting on all fronts, serving Polish truckers both in front and behind)))
Mr. Zelenski is biggest European dictator !
That's fine until the russians move to total war due to the pressure. They have been fighting with the legal restrictions of the smo.
Let's cut off Russian crude oil that continues to flow across Ukraine to landlocked European Union nations like Hungary and Slovakia and end this hypocrisy since the EU and NATO wanna "get some".
The free world is thankful to the heroes of the Ukraine! <3
If you haven’t invested in Ukraine yet, I don’t know what you’re waiting for
Just a matter of until DW starts claiming crimes against humanity from Russia, we've seen this movie before😂
The same clowns here will start crying when Russia starts retaliation,claiming it's targeting civil infra …😂
The SMO has turned into a war of attrition. It doesn't matter how many drones Ukraine fire, but they need 10k drone strikes per day or ground troops on war front to make Russia surrender. In the current situation Russia in any case will have full Donbas by autumn or next summer.
Ukraine is opting for psychological/mental warfare ops designed by MI6, CIA to portray a defeat of Russia visually, which would then play with the minds of people to believe that the government is doing nothing to protect its people and their interests which then come to the streets doing protest (financed again by the western so called NGO) forcing regime change.. Everyone should know that the western dream is not the win of Ukraine but regime change in Russia and division of Russia into small countries and extract the natural resources out. The ruling class of the west is trying to play the same game of regime change which they successfully failed in Iran and are now trying in Russia.
Can you please give more coverage of the Battle for Kostiantynivka?
That would suck running out of fuel in the middle of that traffic jam
Ukraine has proven its strong leadership unites the country towards triumph regardless how strong its enemy is. Bless Ukraine.
Russian Defence Ministry — we've intercepted 660 Ukrainian drone 🤔 !? but 840 went through and hit our military facilities 😂🤣 !!!!!
Yeah yeah yeah , just don’t forget who footed the bill for you guys to win
She is the most confused person I ever heard. Please interview someone else next time.
russia will end up with empty pockets and no teeth
Glory to Ukraine 💪🏼🦇🔥🇺🇦
How sweet I’m so happy to see Ukrainian army getting even with Putin and other government leaders
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Looks like Putin has everything under control, 15km traffic racing to a speech by Putin. Ukraine has the right idea take the war directly to Moscow. Thousands are jailed for protesting about the war. The Russian poeple are rising up. Slava Ukraine.
Ukraine Will Win 👍✅
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇭🇲🇭🇲🦘🦘🦘💪
It needs internal special operations forces to target Russian bureaucrats and civilian businessmen involved in the manufacture or coordination of the Russian war. An extensive liberation campaign similar to the campaign the African National Congress used in its targeting of the Apartheid regime. Extensive “kaboom” packages, parcels, and parked cars targeting any and all involved in these crimes.
The pair of aggressor predators aren't doing well.
It's time for one to turn on the other.
beautiful news for Saturday morning coffee <3
Why would someone read the news in his t-shirt?
I WOULD ADVISE UKRAINE TO LEAVE A PATHWAY FOR RUSSIANS TO LEAVE CRIMEA.
U lie too much 😂
Not Ukraine. NATO. They're asking it. Waiting for the bear to retaliate.
A few ukranian drones are hitting yes but this isn't and wont change the battlefield, ukranian military mappers show that ukraine is losing land daily and how many drones hit Ukraine daily? 😂 and remember Americas own Sectary of State openly says that this is a Nato proxy war and American generals said that America was training ukranian army 2 years before Russia went in so Russia have already wiped out a Nato trained and equipped army, all this information is free to search…
Ukraine's 40-day Special Military Operation vs. Russia.
If crimea is going to lose the population that Russia planted there after annexing it there needs to be thousands of Russian leaving the peninsula daily. The estimated range is 2000 to 3000 people per day, for a year.
