    1. Their cameras are way too big for 2021. Out there trying to film in 8K in JaBumbleFck Ukraine and stuff

    2. And I have a bridge in the sky to sell you since your so easily swayed this is real and not a fake news movie set of them running thru old civil war grounds in Pennsylvania. Lol. So gullible

  1. Sniper: I see 7 men running. One is holding a camera
    Russian soldier: leave the camera man alone he’s to invincible

    1. @Don Nwzad In the meantime, CHINA-JOE-BIDEN’s new woke military is drafting 100000 transgender troupes to fight Putin’s mechanized army.
      Xi’s Aircraft carriers are facing American Aircraft carriers in the south China sea.

      GOD, I miss Donald-John-Trump.

    2. @Raul JR Lara That was after Trump turned their highest general into an ONION RING.
      Israel just destroyed the mullah’s nuclear enrichment capability.

    3. Why should America send arms to Ukraine. Why not get the Ukraine’s to build a wall and have the Russians pay for it?😜

  2. This reported had a conversation with the Ukrainian president with his mask on his chin, and then ran across a sniper fire zone with his helmet in his hands. Why even have them lol

    1. Why even have a president if he is going to risk his life in such a foolish way. He shouldn’t have been anywhere near that place.

    2. @Aaron Haley damn, crazy story. Getting blasted in the head from 20 feet by a PK has to make for one hell of a headache!

    3. @clorox nMe there certainly are some crazy instances of soldiers surviving rifle rounds but I wouldn’t bet my life on it. That being said, I’d still wear one in a war zone.

  3. Russia: Kills 20 soldiers*
    Also Russia: Were just playing around, nothing serious

    Seems like the equivalent of punching someone in the face and not wanting them to hit you back

    1. @Sergey Bebenin fake U.S. sponsored “revolution” just like in Syria, you’re not fooling anyone with that rubbish

    2. @Monkey Movies Nah, it’s Ukrainian ultra-nationalist puppet fanatics trying to re-occupy Crimea but crying hard cause they lost it.

    3. How did you define that 20 soldiers were killed by russians, and not local fighters or any Italians or serbs fighting on the side of the militia?

    4. @Sergey Bebenin   yeah just like in ww2 when nazi collaborating war criminals in Ukraine murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians. These criminals are now considered “national heroes” in Washington’s puppet state of Ukraine.

    1. wrong the problem is the Ukrainian build up of heavy weapons along the contact line which is forbidden under Minsk 2 agreement Kiev signed up to

    2. @Alba1970 doesn’t matter. Both sides are looking to end the conflict in some way. Living in constant suspense starts to get dull after 7 years.

  4. Reporter goes into a hot zone and leaves his ballistic helmet off. Great idea because once you get a sniper induced headache you wont have to worry about much else.

    1. t is unlikely that this is a hot zone, since the president is there, even the president of Ukraine

    2. @Илья Старинов Yeah you would think he would not be near the front like that? Too much of a high value target.

    3. CNN has single handedly nearly destroyed our country and weakened our democracy over the past four years, so what makes them think the US is in any position to help Ukraine right now? Russia and China know this, they watched it happen and continue to watch it happen, it just doesn’t stop.

    1. @William H no, I pretty happy go lucky… I enjoy life and I have had the time of it hard, so much so that my wife and I say ‘we’ve had it much worse’ or ‘can’t get as bad as before’… a lot of people take my abstruse mannerisms for being obtrusive… didn’t mean to sound off, at all…

    2. Lol. Brain washed ! How can you NOT see this is staged. Fake news. A bunch of guys running thru Pennsylvania civil war grounds acting. Lol. I have a sky bridge to sell you. It floats. Ill put on a white coat and say I’m a Dr while spewing covid propaganda and you’ll believe it. Lol

    3. @Christ Soldier laughing while you ask a question that you kinda state the answer to…
      ..I mean I guess we all have to laugh, it helps us get easygoing…. I’ll join in … lol, master of the obvious… it is a shame but I think things will get better, it just looks funny trying to right, upside down world…

    4. @1H 1OH lol. . Your a good sport. I read the comments and I’m just. Wow. Ppl really believe this ! Its fake. Smh.

  5. Both Russia and China are increasing military powers in conflict areas. Something is gonna set it off…

    1. Domt forget now we have this Australias team I forgot the name of it. It’s like 4 countries in it. The QUAD there we go

    1. @JOHN BOYAJY nuclear war is over rated and if they invaded we wouldn’t nuke China anyways why would we

    2. @Fentanyl Floyd China will be walking into an army of millions of Americans that have guns that’s not going to happen it will be nuclear believe me

    3. @JOHN BOYAJY I have my faith in Jesus the christ also and he said its more likely America will be invaded like Isreal was invaded by the babaylonians he punished Isreal do u think we get a pass

    4. @Queen Nita completely agree. If the roles were reversed and the US had another civil war it would be equivalent to Russia sending troops, equipment, and aid to the rebels while threatening the federal government if they intervene with US rebels.

    1. Trench warfare has never gone out of style. We still use trenches to this day, as you can see.

    1. Pence stood at the N.Korea border overlooking the military. Trump walked into N. Korea….what else do you want?

    2. @Elkyn Correal LOL that’s not even close.

      There’s no danger on the DMZ unless you walk on the other side, in Ukraine on the other hand there’s a full on war going with at least couple of soldiers dying weekly.

    3. The real front line is far away. No one would risk sending the president so close. This is staged propaganda. A lot of lies.

    1. Russia will have to give up once it collapses or too many of them get slaughtered in Ukraine 🤷🏻‍♂️

  6. I salute all journalist teams working in the world’s hotspots, much respect for getting the stories out.

    1. Lol. I have a bridge in the sky to sell you since you can’t see that’s just fake news. A movie set in old civil war grounds Pennsylvania. Lol. So gullible

  7. “The Russians are ready. But we too, are ready. This is our land, not theirs!” Truth was spoken there. Best wishes to the Ukrainian people.

    1. @Aleksa Cerovic you better respect my motherland this is why we are top 1 in the country. You see what the tv shows you!!! You dont know what type of force we have behind the screens lol. So believe what you want but America fought in ww2 and won with our allies, we almost took out your communist country after the fall of the 3rd Reich but our great General Eisenhower gave you mercy. The middle east hates america? So why their armies need our help to train them and give them money. You people are brainwashed by propaganda and hate America bc of what we do? Its war buddy… so what if we dropped nukes? That’s what you get for playing with fire. We will always retaliate for the motherland no matter how. The middle east is lucky we haven’t gone full military on them haha. We can destroy the taliban and their civilization with a few codes so watch your mouth. We actually care about not putting innocent people on danger, rules of engagement!! Without those rules our soldiers would unleash hell🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    2. @Марина Владимировна lol stop listening to your countries propaganda. You have no idea, but go ahead believe what a communist tells you! What did your founding fathers give you? Ours gave us rights 😂😂 but too bad you had dictators all your life who only cared about themselves

    3. Kazaki013 Actually, Czarist Russia lost WW1 & surrendered to Germany, which craved Ukraine’s famously deep, rich topsoil. So as the victor, Germany tacked portions of former minor “Empires” Polish, Lithuania, etc., onto the west end of Russian area of modern Ukraine. Read Tolstoy. The first Russian government ever had its capitol in Kiev in the 800s & welcomed the Patriarch of Constantinople – whom the King of Russia had invited to perform mass ceremony of conversion of the pagan Russians to Christianity in the 800.s AD – at the Russian port on Crimea.

    4. @Dollbeast Cybervoodoo ha ha ha. What Ukrainians are you talking about, are you trying to tell that pro nazi & neo nazi Western Ukrainians are in love with pro Russia eastern ukrainians? All your comments are so dumb that I suspect you are a bot…. turn yourself off.
