CNN's Nic Robertson reports that Russian state media is not showing the death and destruction from the war with Ukraine and is instead showing Russian soldiers handing out humanitarian aid to Ukranians.

Anti-Putin Russians based in Ukraine allegedly stage incursion into Russia
Handing out humanitarian aid for destruction YOU caused??? The “hero” staging the rescue? We’ve reached a new low in human relations.
Well if it’s the Russian Red Cross Society branch that’s their job and they’ve been doing it since 1867. The problem is when Putin treats the RRCS as a geopolitical device he can block as he sees fit. He blocked the RRCS from providing aid in Syria and did it again in Mariupol.
Russians are still humanitarian, many Russians in Ukraine are supporting the Ukrainians. There are charities in Russia who are helping Ukrainians.
There are many Russians who are hurting along with the Ukrainians. Ordinary people can only do so much.
@космический кадет Bless you and please stay safe.
It’s not a low in human relations. The Russian ppl are being lied to, true news is outlawed
Think of the USA if Fox was the only news company allowed to operate
USA has done the same thing very recently in the Middel East.
The irony of the consequences for snuffing out the truth is obviously beyond Putin’s ability to comprehend. The stronger the stranglehold, the greater the resistance.
lots of soviruss DON’T WANNA KNOW . exactly like American soviTrumpistas : they DON’T WANNA KNOW.
Just like Soviet Union tried to hide so many truths, or like Nazi Germany did, eventaully the truth will come out and destroy all those who tried to cover it. History has shown this time and again. Putin and his criminal gang are now living on burrowed time. They have dug their own graves, this kind of goverment they have wrought will not last and stand the test of time. Sooner or later Russians will discover the truth, and the whole thing Putin has tried to built will come crushing down
@Ken Wittlief well since you’re in a CNN comment thread, probably on CNN.
@itsme Yes, unfortunately based on these few interviews it appears you can suppress reality, and it s seems to be an effective strategy for the moment. Though I hate to think of the suffering it will cause, perhaps sanctions will affect economic collapse and call Putin’s narrative into question in the minds of the people. I think it will have to reach a point where the quality of life is drastically reduced for a large number of Russian citizens before there is a level of opposition that will meaningfully affect Putin’s behavior. It seems as though there will be an enormous cost to many innocent people however this ends. The only relatively low cost resolution I can see would involve Putin ceasing to be alive.
Unless you trick people into believing they’re not being strangled. Then people will fight against their own self-interest. We see this all the time in the US.
A French author once wrote: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
Russia will cleanse Ukraine of the Nazi infection. Our grandfathers did it in 1945 in Europe. We’re going to do it now. We lost 20 million people in the last war. Not 1000, not 5000, but 20 million. That’s enough. Victory will be ours! The time will come, we will put you in front of the TV, and you will see what the Ukrainian murderers have done. Do you feel sorry for Ukrainians? When they killed our children, you were silent! Where were you at that time? We are ready to fight against the whole of Europe! We are ready to turn Europe into a desert.
French didn’t defend to the death anything. They just surrended to Hitler, Germany in 1941! That puts it to perspective lol.
@Jennifer moriarty Yea there was some conjecture on the author, but Voltaire is a strong candidate.
@Олег Грозный So far I haven’t seen any evidence of “Nazi” behavior in Ukraine. I have been looking at news generated by pundits of the US and Europe. I met a woman who lived in Ukraine for most of her life and she tells me it’s bullshit. The Nazis were pure evil. To use their name so casually, as a faux reason to invade a peaceful neighbor is a disgrace to the people who lost their lives in WW2. You cannot trust news that is controlled by the government.
Long live Voltaire!
“normal people understand everything”
I feel you.
@MoonPie hahaha so true !
@Lori Curl I guess if you are positive . Yeah I could say that is smart . But I am more of a realist
This is what happens when an INCOMPETENT IMB.E.CILE becomes the president of the world strongest country. Thugs and Rogue rejimes emboldened to Bullying, Invading, Murduring and overally do whatever they want. Bc world Super power has snuck in to a hole and behave like a COWARD MOUSE. Shame on you DEGRADED BRAIN joe! You’ve not only made Mess in the country, but to the world. You are the most PAINFUL MISTAKE in the history.
LETS GO BRANDN….
@peyman p I know, trump such a weak and Pathetic little snowflake 😥 trump is so demented he still thinks he won 😂😂😂
“but can’t do anything”

The Russians taking to the streets to protest this attack are to be applauded. It’s incredibly brave.
@TrollGutta🇺🇲 its been said if you can’t say anything good don’t say anything at all.
@Google user yes the reason they have less in prison is because they have more in the grave yard.
Look those statistics up.
@dance master
Lol.
It wouldn’t take thousands of our airmen to create a no fly zone. Far less.
And I disagree with your assessment of the abiliities of the Russian air assault campaign.
Unlike you and your kind, I wouldn’t fault someone for trying to do the right thing… even if it were Biden, but he’s not doing the right thing.
Hell, he hasn’t made the right call on anything ever since he took office.
@dance master I already call Biden an “Idiot”, I don’t really need another failure to convince me of what he is.

@Олег Грозный f u
@Олег Грозный The nuclear powers in NATO will turn Russia into a biological desert. The people on the peripheral countries that Russia has r@ped in the past will hunt down the remaining Russian survivors. There will be no more Russia… ever! It will be the West’s dying gift to the world. Nuclear hegemons should be utterly destroyed as a matter of course.
@Олег Грозный Literally a Russian troll lol.
@Олег Грозный Nazis? You mean the Azov Battalion containing roughly 900 people? Because, yes they are real and they have been fighting for Ukraine since 2014. You can ask yourself why? Because Russia attacked Ukraine, and Ukraine searched for allies. There are 40 million people in Ukraine. Do the math.
Now lets take a look at Russian National Unity (RNU). This is a russian neo-nazi group that has been fighting on the seperatist side in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. So there is obviously nazis on both sides here. And when you look at the political climate in the whole of eastern Europe there is for sure alot of nazi-like attitudes. Lukashenko the president of Belarus has said that the “jews run the worls”. Russia has passed anti-gay laws and in the constituent republic of Russia, Chechenya has death squads that hunt down gay people. All of this information is pretty easy to find.

“We have given civilians corridors through all battle zones”
Yeah, the corridor is 6 feet under the dirt
Oh, give me a home, not near here, that is seven by four, by six……..” the green, green grass, of home ”…..by Englebert Humperdinck.
He gave them 7 days amnesty, where is the coverage?
How about moving the battle zone into Russia and leaving the Ukrainians alone?
God bless those people for standing up ❤️
Bless the Russian Elderly Woman. She has already seen too much in her lifetime. She still has the strength to speak up, when so many are too afraid. I hope she is treated well.
#LongLiveUkraine
Your Royal Majesty… My god, to survive the siege of Leningrad was a miracle!!! Hundreds of thousands of people died there. The Russian people have suffered under so many terrible leaders. It’s heartbreaking. And now for the last 20 years, this BUTCHER.
@Carol Hill Right?!?! I feel for everyone affected by this man and his predecessors!! May the world find better leaders. 🙏 Until then …
Stay safe World Neighbors.
Putin ain’t sh!!!!-et compare to a niqqa by the name of corn pop! He was a bad dude..
This is horrible,My heart goes out to the civilians!!!!!😭💔🇺🇦🙏
@Евгений Миндолин What a joke. America spends literally 10 times more on military than Russia alone. Do you realise that the whole world except for China is against you. You are a poor country. Even if you were powerful. You vs the whole world. You are screwed
@Евгений Миндолин I feel for you honestly. I don’t want Russians to suffer because Putin did this. You don’t deserve the sanctions. War is not the way. Ukraine did not fight Russia. It was never going to. It was never a threat to Russia. But Russia attacked it. Putin talks of nazis in Ukraine. Did you know Zelensky is a Jew. You a being fed nonsense by the media
UR COUNTRY DID THIS, F. HYPOCRITES.
@Joey Miller the difference is that UsA is the real terrorist.
@Олег Грозный, you don’t know what you’re talking about! Your Putin is a murderous thug.
This is horrible,My heart goes out to the civilians!!!!!😭💔🇺🇦🙏
Look at these kids in Ukraine omg 😭https://youtu.be/K0w7GridWNo please please 🙏😭 pray for them they need it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!god is coming soon
Look at these kids in Ukraine omg 😭https://youtu.be/K0w7GridWNo please please 🙏😭 pray for them they need it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!god is coming soon
If few Americans tried to remove Biden on Jan 6, Those Americans are labelled as terrorists and sent to prison. But forceful removal of President of Ukraine in 2014 by few Ukrainians was great event. They are heroes. Why European countries did not Condemn forceful removal of a sitting President in Ukraine. Europe and America supported those Ukrainians who forcefully removed their President in 2014. This coup forceful removal of President of Ukraine in 2014 created tensions between Ukraine and Russia. NATO sponsored coup also removed and killed President Gaddafi ofLibya. NATO is behind every mess created due to regime change. Its a fact..
@Uick democracy always prevails
@Dylan Johnson Democracy has many versions. American style democracy or European style democracy is not compatible for every country. Europe should learn from Afghan defeat and brave soldiers died in pursuit of a forced democracy. Trillion of dollars wasted. Where is the learning? 2014 NATO sponsored coup in Ukraine created WW3 conditions and threatening world peace. NATO must go..
I’m surprised to see the more critical Russians interviewed on television, without interference from the authorities.
@MOTOR RAJ I’ll tell you even more, many of these problems have not yet been resolved … Let’s say the Russian oligarchs, the corruption system that was established during the Yeltsin period, but the West could help us with this, let’s say with our corrupt officials, because Russian corrupt officials and oligarchs are all the stolen money is transferred to Western banks. The West could well return this money to Russia and these bandits, but the West only talks about corruption in Russia. Do you understand the double standard?
no bull, a good street interview is all about timing
@zmeya It’s rather like China.
@Aleksa Žunjić You can here, too. It will be controversial, but you could say all of that.
Because we have a free press, unlike the Western media. See why the war started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8veOzd39VWI
Your media are just hypocrites
finally a respectful and empathic journalist/ news reporter
@Cameron Rhodes ironic you leave out the insurrection
Thus is the “Ukraine Democracy” the west is fighting for. https://youtu.be/Sm16htweOJQ

NATO sponsored coup also removed and killed President Gaddafi of Libya and Saddam Hussein of Iraq. NATO is behind every mess created due to regime change. Its a fact..
@AWIRELINK From 2015? They were pro-Russian then so just as well they are gone.
It’s kind of amazing how rarely you can truly see and feel the compassion from a news reporter, but this one is just amazing. wow.
So crazy when you have to go around your media to get the truth about something. 🤔
@NZ Sole L 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
@Donald Bird OH…you got me there!!! 😂🤦🏻♂️👎
@Media Maker Here in the US we have to go around the mainstream media to get real news.
@mountainguyed67 “real news” like Facebook memes you can’t verify.
@Drunk Pekka No, not memes.
Once again, I’m so proud of the younger generation. They are so wise. Wish they were able to get through to the older people the truth of what is happening
@Uick You want countries to invade other countries for killing their own people? what does that even have to do with this?
@Gerald Gallagher you said “there are so many different opinions”
@smkxodnwbwkdns yes from so many different networks and sources The west or what you perceive as the west has many differing opinions due to its freedom of speech unlike the state controlled media in Russia which uniformly pushes the Kremlin version
@Gerald Gallagher is English not your first language?
@smkxodnwbwkdns Being Scottish I’ll take that as a compliment 🤣
Huge props to that old grandma. She’s a Russian national treasure. Putin and his lapdogs should learn from her.
@Uick Why did they invade sovereign country with the help of Russia back in 2014 and why did they killed tens of thousands of Ukrainian people in their invasion? Did they thought that they as aggressors and a war criminals will be loved by Ukrainian people?
@lady bug damn
They even won’t know about her…she was removed out of sight out of mind
See why the war started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8veOzd39VWI
Your media are just hypocrites
“When the speech condemns
a free press, you are hearing
the words of a tyrant.”
– Thomas Jefferson
“free press” is overrated. The equipments, staff, time, travels, works all required to be paid. You can’t do it for free, it won’t work, everything from press is done with motive so they can function and been paid. Press is for earning money, not charity.
When you are silenced and ignored and not allowed questions with a label, “fake news” you are in cross hairs with a Tyrant.
Julian Assange is going to be tortured and sent to an American military prision for giving us the truth. If you think what they are telling you is the truth you are just as foolish as the russians believing state media.
@Alpha66 let’s compare it to Hilary’s body count?
@Monika Jameston Russian troll alert. yes, they are still active.
You know, I felt bad for the Russian people at first….. but now they made that super difficult for the older people like the younger folks I feel for
