  1. Russia’s upset get over it Tell Vladimir about your anger He’s the one that started this war with Ukraine for absolutely zero reason! The fact that Ukraine is fighting back is amazing congratulations guys keep up the great work

    1. @Nati

      ” I have my own consciousness and my own view of the situation. Your friend’s opinion doesn’t matter.” – neither does your opinion or mine. That is why I have been giving you facts.

    2. Everyone. Tank Hill is a bot account. Do not repky to the copypasta lies of ukraine banning free speech. We know that it is russia that has legislated against freedom of speech, even freedom of thought and has jailed, murdered, persecuted and even run hostile news agencies out of russia for reporting the truth.

    3. @Nati you are confused. The Slavic people of Ukraine stand against the evil Putin regime and its policy of corruption and brutality. The corruption of the Putin regime has been revealed and soon all Slavic people will be released from Putin regime corruption. God bless Ukraine 🔥🌎

    4. @Nati Something for you to ponder:
      Ukraine: civilian casualty update 26 December 2022:

      Date: 27 December 2022 1

      From 24 February 2022, when the Russian Federation’s armed attack against Ukraine started, to 26 December 2022, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) recorded 17,831 civilian casualties in the country: 6,884 killed and 10,947 injured. This included:

      a total of 6,884 killed (2,719 men, 1,832 women, 175 girls, and 216 boys, as well as 38 children and 1,904 adults whose sex is yet unknown)
      a total of 10,947 injured (2,364 men, 1,709 women, 229 girls, and 318 boys, as well as 253 children and 6,074 adults whose sex is yet unknown)
      In Donetsk and Luhansk regions: 9,695 casualties (4,052 killed and 5,643 injured)
      On Government-controlled territory: 7,579 casualties (3,569 killed and 4,010 injured)
      On territory controlled by Russian armed forces and affiliated armed groups: 2,116 casualties (483 killed and 1,633 injured)
      In other regions of Ukraine (the city of Kyiv, and Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Kirovohrad, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Khmelnytskyi, Poltava, Rivne, Ternopil, Vinnytsia, Volyn, and Zhytomyr regions), which were under Government control when casualties occurred: 8,136 casualties (2,832 killed and 5,304 injured)
      Most of the civilian casualties recorded were caused by the use of explosive weapons with wide area effects, including shelling from heavy artillery, multiple launch rocket systems, missiles and air strikes.

      OHCHR believes that the actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration. This concerns, for example, Mariupol (Donetsk region), Izium (Kharkiv region), Lysychansk, Popasna, and Sievierodonetsk (Luhansk region), where there are allegations of numerous civilian casualties.

      Civilian casualties from 1 to 26 December 2022 (individual cases verified by OHCHR)

      From 1 to 26 December 2022, OHCHR recorded 681 civilian casualties:

      165 killed (72 men, 31 women, 4 boys, as well as 58 adults whose sex is yet unknown); and
      516 injured (102 men, 91 women, 11 girls, 7 boys, as well as 3 children and 302 adults whose sex is yet unknown).
      This included:

      143 killed and 437 injured in 89 settlements in regions (parts of regions), which were under Government control when casualties occurred (85 percent of the total); and
      22 killed and 79 injured in 7 settlements in parts of Luhansk and Donetsk regions controlled by Russian armed forces and affiliated armed groups (15 percent of the total).
      Per type of weapon/incident:

      Explosive weapons with wide area effects: 144 killed and 493 injured (94 per cent);
      Mines and explosive remnants of war: 21 killed and 23 injured (6 per cent).
      The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine

      Since 2014, OHCHR has been documenting civilian casualties in Ukraine. Reports are based on information that the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) collected through interviews with victims and their relatives; witnesses; analysis of corroborating material confidentially shared with HRMMU; official records; open-source documents, photo and video materials; forensic records and reports; criminal investigation materials; court documents; reports by international and national non-governmental organisations; public reports by law enforcement and military actors; data from medical facilities and local authorities. All sources and information are assessed for their relevance and credibility and cross-checked against other information. In some instances, corroboration may take time. This may mean that conclusions on civilian casualties may be revised as more information becomes available and numbers may change as new information emerges over time. Statistics presented in the current update are based on individual civilian casualty records where the “reasonable grounds to believe” standard of proof was met, namely where, based on a body of verified information, an ordinarily prudent observer would have reasonable grounds to believe that the casualty took place as described.

      ENDS

      Ukrainian and Russian language versions of this update as they become available, please visit this page.

      1/ An increase in figures in this update compared with the previous update (as of 18 December 2022) should not be attributed to civilian casualties that occurred from 19 to 26 December only, as during these days OHCHR also corroborated casualties that occurred on previous days. Similarly, not all civilian casualties that were reported from 19 to 26 December have been included into the above figures. Some of them are still pending corroboration and if confirmed, will be reported on in future updates.

  2. I think it’s great! And I hope that they continue to let Russia know that when you give it you’re going to get it back in return.

    1. @Dogz Digital yes. one of their stated goals was to de-nazify ukraine. and by any reasonable attempt of a value based standard, russia is by far the most nazi actor there

    2. @Dogz Digital The Nazi regime is in Ukraine. He is fighting against Russians on ethnic grounds. The Russians said that they want to denazify Ukraine, that is, to eliminate the Ukrainian Nazi regime. This is similar to how Nazi Germany was denazified after the Second World War.

    1. Makes you think dosent it?… how can anyone be that stupid let alone a Russia general versed in warfare…Mmmm…it does make you think something else is going on

    1. FRIENDS, VOLUNTEERS FROM EUROPE, ASIA AND THE USA ❗ UKRAINE REALLY NEED YOUR SUPPORT IN BAHMUT, DONBASS, WE FIGHT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD❗THANK YOU, SLAVA UKRAINE 💙💛✊

    2. @Ligma Johnson “there” huh? Lol not on my end . Oh well , I just thought you finally realized you’re an embarrassment to yourself.

    3. @I’m gettin Weird you must have plenty of free time on your hands 😂 and need that much attention? If you want we can zoom call and I can show you my ball sack. I’m sure that’ll entertain you enough ☺️😉 you need me to help you get your rocks off? Do you even know how it feels to be inside of female? And I’m not talking about a trans girl, I’m talking about a real female 😂🍆🍆🍆🌭🌭

    1. seriously? bio weapon labs on russians border & crimes against humanity against the people republic of donetsk are ok ?

    1. @Kryzzan This war is part of Brzezinski’s plan to destroy Russia. But I think the US will fail. Neither Ukraine nor NATO will help.

    2. @Rick M Let your Ukrainian neighbors thank Zelensky and his US curators for the death of their nephew. It was they who refused to conclude the mutual security agreement that Russia proposed.

    3. @Armani Webb which move? On churches I mean that all the orthodoxies are wrong. Right up to the catholic church. It was never supposed to be like how they do things. You must be born again Jesus said and they don’t even baptise like the original church.

  3. A true soldier fights not because he hates what’s in front of him but because he loves what’s behind him.. that’s the difference between Russia & Ukrainian troops keep up the fight fellas!!!🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇸

    1. G.K. Chesterton said, “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”

    2. @Sam Hull Do not blame the unfortunate Ukraine. Zelensky was elected president because he promised peace. But the US ordered him to foment war. Zelensky and the United States should be blamed.

  4. And what did Ruzzia do all over Christmas. NOTHING?, they deserve what they got and I hope they get a lot more…..Incomming

  5. This was a humble reciprocation for the theater with helpless civilians in Mariupol. Happy New Year from Poland. Slava Ukraini.

  6. I have been repeatedly saying this and I will say it yet again. The best defense for Ukraine is offense. More like this please.

    1. What a stupid thing to say. Ukraine honorably defending their homeland is heroic, however these continued strikes deep inside Russia will lead to catastrophic nuclear war. We need diplomacy, no more war,no more senseless killing.

    2. We must keep supplies going and when i say we i mean America Britain nato and our allies… this time we have no choice if we truly believe in democratic sovereign nations…i believe it’s right and just to help Ukraine…i also believe Putin is a delusional leader that must be stopped at all costs… whatever it takes

  7. What a great New Year’s gift Ukraine has sent to the Russian military. One can only hope that UA will continue to send more of the “generous gifts” in the future. The Russians have really earned the attention. Happy New Year. Slava Ukraine!

  8. Russia be like right now: when I strike civilian targets with ballistics missiles is fine but when I get striked it’s not fair

    1. @enigmaticmisfit Actually you should blame the eternal warmonger US. There are plenty of evidence that the US started this operation back in 2014, in the nazi Ucraina the most corrupt country in the world. But hey, you cant’t speak to a deaf man.

    2. Russia neither used ballistic missiles nor attacked Western satellite reconnaissance which was used in this attack. Now, the door can be opened to further escalation.

    1. @RonJohn63 The Russians have conducted this war as if they are also battling massive substance abuse issues.

    2. If I was a Russian sent to the front lines and had family in Ukraine, I would act stupid too!
      ‘My bad commander! All the supplies were lost somewhere…’
      ‘My apologies, but the equipment I was given wasn’t properly maintained…’
      ‘I didn’t mean to drive my brand new tank straight into the enemy’s territory and then flee on foot leaving the tank there for them to take…’

  9. Russians are now angry?! I slap my neighbour, he slaps me back – and I should be the angry one at him?! Never occurred to me. This is eye opening moment about this new logic taking place.

    1. @Da Gre Why was someone watching Russian TV where the law threatens to arrest anyone who speaks the wrong words or reports on anything that isn’t fed to them from the Kremlin.

    2. @steh. The anger Russians have (Putin polling positive in high 80’s), is that he took so long to bring down the hammer. ‘Yes .. Ukraine is a brother nation .. but look what they have done to us “( Donbas ). Get off this channel if you really care about what is going on. If you care other than political narrative. Do you ?

    3. @Dan Wright The same shameful polling that all brutally oppressive regimes have. Those risibly high approval results are a mark of shame not something to brag about. Kim Jung Un, Xi, and every other murderous dictator on the planet can claim the same. Such results are a disgraceful mark of regimes that allow absolutely no free speech or open criticism to be expressed. societies inundated with propaganda lies, isolated from differing thought, and a population terrorized and afraid of their own government.

    4. @Dan Wright Hi GRU/FSB bot, you are an expression of the very thing that is leading Russia to ruin right now. Namely, Russia’s impedance of knowledge growth via rampant dishonesty, and oppression of free speech and open criticism. And it is the freedom of speech that such bots abuse in attempts to undermine open discussion that are the very reason Ukraine with help from other free nations of the world are so readily able to generate the knowledge required to defeat the problem that is Russian criminal aggression, while Russia lacks the knowledge to solve the problems it faces.

    5. @Scott Mcmaster @scot. And your implying we live ( America ) , in the land of the free and un oppressed ? What’s your take on ‘Twitter files’? Do you even hear of this phenomena? ( msm blocks ). You can’t be serious , @scott ! You probably even believe that Putin longs for the re establishment of the USSR! This narrative is spawned from the need NATO has for an enemy . ( or they can’t keep the coalition.) Russia bad ! I know Russian people. And I know them intimately . Get off msm?

  10. Ukraine fights a war by hitting military targets, Russia fights the same war by indiscriminately targeting the civilian population. A truly magnificent military power!

    1. I am embarrassed to grow up during the Cold War and had actually been afraid of these pathetic losers. And these morons think sending even more untrained and ill-equipped conscripts is going to change the outcome.

    2. @Da Gre The Russian army is a drunken sh*thole under corrupt command for the whole world to see!😂😂🤣
