Russia Launches Full-Scale Invasion of Ukraine
Russia – Ukraine.
8 years ago, when there was a coup d’etat and the seizure of power by Ukrainian nationalists, residents of Donetsk and Luhansk regions refused to recognize the results of the coup.
As a result, the Ukrainian army began to launch missile strikes on these areas, which led to large civilian casualties, as well as the destruction of residential premises.
And these missile strikes have been happening for all these 8 years.
All this time, residents of Donetsk and Luhansk regions lived in fear of dying from blows at any second.
All this, of course, was not shown, neither in the Western nor in the European media.
Seeing all this, Ukrainian citizens did not make any attempts to stop the Ukrainian army.
They did not go to rallies, did not call for Peace.
They didn’t care.
Only Russia, at the request of these regions, provided support, which of course was turned over in the media and stated that Russia was attacking Ukraine.
All these 8 years, Putin has been trying to peacefully resolve this situation.
Nobody cared.
Rocket attacks by the Ukrainian Army continued against the civilian population of Donetsk and Lugansk. Residents of Ukraine did not go to rallies against this and no one called for peace and for the cessation of missile strikes.
All this time, the West and Europe have been sponsoring Ukraine with weapons.
And when the point of no return occurred, when Ukraine was stuffed with weapons, when the Ukrainian army conducted combat exercises in urban areas, it was clear that Ukraine was preparing a large-scale attack on Donetsk and Lugansk. About what they threatened without hesitation all this time.
As a result, V. Putin made an immediate decision to conduct a special operation on the territory of Ukraine, the purpose of which was the destruction of military equipment and the elimination of Nazis in power, who developed like a cancer, misleading the citizens of Ukraine and creating a Russophobic mentality.
And as a result, as the Ukrainian people screamed, you didn’t care for 8 years, and when you were taken by the throat, you demand Peace and ask Russian citizens to come out to protest against the operation.
You’ve had time, 8 years.
And now you need to answer for your actions.
What we see during the operation is a huge amount of fake information, especially in the Western media.
The Russian army destroyed more than 800 units of military equipment.
Attacks on civilians DO NOT OCCUR.
But the Ukrainian army launched rocket attacks on Donetsk, as a result of which 7 civilians were killed.
The Ukrainian army has placed military equipment in residential areas, which is not legal in combat conditions. They use a human shield of their civilians, as terrorists do.
Russia does not strike at this technique, other ways of disabling this technique will be used.
Since Ukrainian equipment is located in residential areas, the Ukrainian military does not always manage to correctly calculate the flight of the projectile, as a result, it is possible to hit residential buildings.
As well as a lot of fake videos and photos in general from other conflicts and countries that were in the past.
This is an operation to end the war that Ukraine started 8 years ago.
It’s literal bs that this is happening. Russia is big enough.
Shades of Hitler!! Tyrants win, the western powers run, run & spout b s in the face of evil cabal that run the world!!
All you gotta do is give up…. either fight or surrender… you cant do both and complain about the outcome
Where all the Trump supporters?
Where were these American journalists when U.S was MASS bombing killing millions of innocent civilians children in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria ? U.S Hypocrisy is Real man
Where were they when America gave aid to the Saudis to murder over 300,000 Yemen people?
Lies
Please attack on endiaa and america
Putin is killing men women and children in front of the whole world we will not forget till he is where he belongs
No he isn’t. You know who is? The United States.
@Stevia Candyman how do you know
Россияне, покажите свою поддержку, запишите и поделитесь каждым движением путинских войск, которое вы увидите. Только от тебя зависит, сколько людей убьет эта сука
May man save man from man’s own destruction 🙏
god, bless Ukraine
The Bible tells us there will be wars and rumors of wars. The most important thing TODAY for all of us and our families and all of the Ukranian soldiers and people and the Russian soldiers and people to do, is to be spiritually prepared for our eternal lives, by repenting of sin and accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, God on earth, Who was born one of us to die and resurrect from the dead to pay for our sins for us, to reconcile us sinners with God to give us eternal life with Him, by believing that:
Jesus Christ, came down here from heaven, God on earth, to be born one of us His own creation, and He dwelt among us for over three decades and He lived a perfect sinless life, then He gave His perfect sinless life to all people from all nations to pay for our sins for us, by dying on the cross and resurrecting from the dead three days later, to pay for our sins and defeat death and Satan for us, to reconcile us sinners with God, to give us eternal life with Him, and after He resurrected from the dead, He lived on earth for forty more days, speaking to many people, then He ascended back up into heaven and He is coming back again at the end of this world to set up His eternal heavenly kingdom and all people will see Him and have our sins judged by Him.
If all people do not repent and accept Jesus Christ, as our Savior Who died to pay for our sins for us to reconcile us sinners with God, then OUR sins will remain with US at the final judgment and there is no other salvation for us.
Obey God, repent of sins and be spiritually born again by honestly accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior by believing that He was born one of us, to die and resurrect from the dead to pay for our sins and defeat death and Satan for us, to reconcile us sinners with God, to give us eternal life with Him.
It was unprovoked…
THAT IS A LIE…
😱😱😱😱😱???
Pray for Ukraine!!!!!
I’m surprised when it comes to Russia winning in imagination the world supports when it happens in reality are hats get blown off
❗Considering that USA & NATO had already developed detailed invasion plans for conquering Russia and China (as per intelligence reports but also publicly available material), and to that effect have amassed weapons at strategic locations, all that has SO FAR happened is that the first in row, Russia, bravely decided to “welcome” the invaders in the neighbor’s yard (for advantage points), instead of waiting for them, sitting hands-crossed on their sofas at home. ❗
Ok Ivan
Deeply sorry for the lost lifes and injured from the both sides. But why this happened – brother against brother. NATO and USA need to be blamed for this murder act. Open your eyes, go back in time and will understand why this is happening. After the fiasco in Korea, Iraq, Serbia, Syria – now putting order in Ukraine… Did USA manage to fix all internal problems already and have will to fix the world problems? What a shame! Shame for USA and its politics, sorry for the blind us people living in the fog.
I feel so bad for Ukraine
No you don’t. You just say words that you think give you points.
Can we restart the KeyStone pipe line again? Another Biden Failure.
Real leadership on display in Ukraine!
Stop the Putin communist terrorists!
Where is Biden!
The EU has done more sanctions than Biden has!
Remove Russia from Swift now!
Do not purchase Putin oil!
Do not import any more of Putin’s Oil into the US!
Do more biden!
There should be release of pictures and videos of the Russian casualties to the world and to the citizens of Russia what is happening to their uncles, fathers, brothers, and sons?
SHAME on the U.S., Britain, Europe, NATO, UN, and the rest of the world for allowing this INVASION of a sovereign Ukraine! ALL countries should IMMEDIATELY impose ALL SANCTIONS and Cut diplomatic ties with Russia and freeze all their assets like Russia is sure to do. If the calculus was we are not going to appear to be fomenting a world war by sending in troops for fear of escalation between nuclear powers – fine, the world can accept this, BUT at least give Ukraine all the FOOD, MEDICAL NEEDS, & YES W E A P O N S (missiles, helicopters, planes, stingers, etc… Anything they need to defend their homeland — would WE want anything different IF we were in their situation?) so Ukraine can defend their country! And Do It NOW!!!! The time for Half Measures is OVER!! The Sanctions should have been put into place 60 days ago!! To Mr. Putin – I say NO ONE in Ukraine needs or wants your help!! If your intention was to support so-called Russian separatists in Donbas – then why are your actions not focused there???? For your ALL COUNTRIES in EUROPE and the U.S. and Russia for that matter – WAKE UP!!! While you are able to go to the store and travel to restaurants and shop to get products your families need — the sovereign people of Ukraine are RIGHT NOW being ATTACKED and KILLED by RUSSIAN FORCES. Ukraine’s sovereign people are huddled in their homes or basements or underground metro stations. or Maybe this was the calculus from the start — sacrificing Ukraine to show the World what RUSSIA is about??? ONLY the LEADERS of ALL the countries of the World that are allowing this to happen can answer this question. and to the MEDIA in the U.S. and Europe and around the world – STOP, STOP, STOP trying to pretend this ISN’T happening!!! I don’t care right now about Covid masks or vaccines, or U.S. Supreme Court nominees – Humans in Ukraine are DYING!!!! TAKE WHATEVER ACTIONS ARE NECESSARY RIGHT NOW – short of providing troops – TO STOP IT!!! Countries like Russia, Iran, and China NEVER seems to want to negotiate in good faith, instead they ONLY want DEALS that are Best for them period. I will say again — EVERYTHING (short of troops or nuclear, of course) should be down RIGHT NOW to HELP UKRAINE. The Too Little, hopefully NOT Too Late decisions thus far by the U.S., Britain, Europe, NATO, UN and the rest of the sovereign countries of the world has been UTTERLY FECKLESS!!!
Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova intentionally or unintentionally revealed Russia already drawn plans ready to invade Finland and Sweden next after Ukraine. If Finland and Sweden brush off Russia’s warning and do nothing, they will end up like Ukraine not as prepared for the Russian invasion as Ukraine should have. In WW2 Nazi Germany took countries and territories one at a time while the rest of the world watched. History is repeating itself. Don’t be naive. The aggressor has a different mind set and value system than the rest of the free world. The free world cannot use our value system to judge and predict the aggressor’s next move. Did anyone actually think Russia would wage all out invasion into Ukraine one year ago, 3 months ago, 1 month ago?
There should be release of pictures and videos of the Russian casualties to the world and to the citizens of Russia what is happening to their uncles, fathers, brothers, and sons.
Omg is he a relation to hilter and we a have a British hilter and that’s bold boris😂
from Japan
Ukraine Never Never surrender, Putin is just an insane killer.
So sad for Ukrainian…I hope Putin will face the consequences like Hilter
Isn’t amazing how USELESS NATO, America, The European Union are?? Madman surrounds Western Democracy, FOR MONTHS, then invades and we all get to sit and watch it happen. Disappointing to be human.
0:36 Is that the baby in there?!?!?!
Putin super President !!!!!!
My heart goes out to the innocent family’s fighting is so childish war is so immature and not needed
didnt the us put a puppet goverment in ukraine …. just sayying
LIARS! https://youtu.be/S3Ibbq_LG-4
kirov reporting
Putin satintic
how is that youtube allows the upload of this kind of videos. It throws gas to the fire and create more division.
Shameful that the pathetic excuse for a human Biden is unwilling to intervene and help our Ukrainian brothers and sisters. Our administration should be held responsible for turning a blind eye!
The short-sighted people who voted for Biden (while not directly responsible) greatly contributed to this situation. Putin is playing an international chess match while lazy and uninformed Americans whimper over “Orange Man Bad” and voted for a very weak and incapable person to be the leader of the free world.
Remember, Trump loves that Putin is trying, poorly, to destroy a democratic country.
Yeah, I mean Ukraine’s puppet government is the 9th most corrupt one on earth, so there is that.
Unprovoked? 14,000 dead in the past 8 years, is not unprovoked
Pray for Ukraine😭😭😭😭
Burn down the Russian embassy in London now. Address is 6/7 Kensington Palace Gardens, London.
I can’t believe watching them to die, because unknown reason going his head
If Trump was in office this would of never happen 🇺🇸
Long live Ukraine!!! Shame to the free world for leaving Ukraine to its own fate, for it will be the whole free worlds fate, if it cannot stand up for itself and it’s own promises now.
Yeah because no other countries being bombed are real, right?
CNN loves war they’re so happy about this it’s unreal.
Poor Ukraine I feel so bad
Putin has already lost this war, even if he wins. His own country is against him, and so it the rest of the world.
But Joe Biden still buys his oil.
Not really. You are only seeing what the media wants you to see.
Biden caused this. Midterm tsunami. Biden the clown must be thwarted with a 66% over ride.
Hit the truck windshields with glass containers filled with glue or paint. This will blind the operators hit the truck doors with molotov cocktailbombs immediately after. Hit lead, middle and rear vehicles. Go for supply vehicles with less defensive capabilites. No supply = no ammunition or food for the Russians.
Why putin
WW3
Why would I listen to NBC for war news when they’ve been wrong about Iraqi WMD’s, Syrian gas, Taliban in Afghanistan and so much more…
The American bush is a war criminal.
See the next phase, if Putin’s generals are smart, is the siege phase. Up until this point he has been using his “green” forces. The 2nd phase of the attack is where the cities are surrounded and besieged thus preventing the tanks and personal from being killed and bogged down in city combat. A siege over a couple months would give the Russian’s time to replenish supplies, heal the wounded, and plan the 3rd phase of attack where his generals move in the elite units. Meanwhile, the artillery, ships, and air strikes will bomb the cities day and night and lower the moral of the people and soldiers in those cities as well as cause starvation. Over time this will cause attrition damage to the besieged cities and thus could cause a surrender if done right.
Luckily historically Russia does not have good generals and when they do they are killed
The world must support Ukraine
Was a long time coming
Drama 🤡
The United States Japan Australia and South Korea need to start doing naval drills off the east coast of Russia make them divide their forces and save Ukraine
-God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤️❤️❤️
unprovoked? why lie
Why? was covid not hard enough on humanity…..
Please tell us about the US biolabs in Ukraine. Were they making bioweapons? Who were they going to use them on?
Russia-Ukraine conflict: The only way NBC News gets to 2 million+ views.
Enjoy the show.
We need to stand strong with the Ukraine.
IN
Wooh. It’s unimaginable that how strong Americans are! 😳
Respect human life and respect each country’s sovereignty. The fall of humanity begins when love ends. As it is written, Love does no evil to the neighbor hence love is the fulfilment of the law. It is even furthered, Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good. Praying for peace and love. God bless the world. 🙏🙏🙏
🇷🇺 🇺🇦Putin really thinks he’s “protecting” Russia by ruining their reputation, businesses and lives. There are massive protests in Russia, the Russian fathers have to leave their families and a lot of Russians are getting arrested.
Even after knowing what USSR has done for India during 1974 war time and beyond , and knowing Ukraine’s policy towards India all this while , still as an Indian i support Zelensky and common people of Ukraine who are fighting for their country. Kudos to the bravery of you guys. You guys put ur land as priority than ur lives and loved ones. Keep fighting against injustice. No amount of justification can justify this war.
Indians will always be thankful to Russia for their selfless acts. But our hearts beats for the lost sons , the battling father’s , the dead mothers and warrior daughters of Ukraine. Humanity is above Geopolitics and power politics
I m sure if Gandhi , Ambedkar ,Nehru ,Bose , Bhagadh Singh was there now , they will also say the same. India and Indians know the pain of war , we know the pain of our ancestoral souls when British colonised and occupied our area. It took 200 yrs for us Indians to come out from the colonial regime. We fought ad we won. The help which Russia give , The number of Vetos it has used for India in Kashmir issue, is not above of a human life. India always wanted world peace and always highlighted the need for healthy talks instead of war. What is the use of all education and experiences and what is the use of saying we born in the land of Great Gandhi , Warrior Bhagat Singh , peaceful Mother Teresa when at the end we can’t support for mankind and justice. No amount of provokation from NATO , No amount of Russian sovereignty is a justification infront of human life.
Govt. Has to think about India and Indians and thats priority but each Indians heart and will is with Ukraine in this tough times. Keep fighting against this injustice. Finally success will be urs ,with the eacha nd every common man of Ukraine.
Beijing Genocide Biden is sleeping once again. All the sanctions mean nothing. Putin is laughing at it.
Why didn’t these reporters sympathize with Iraq and Afghanistan like they are with the Ukraine. Propaganda!
Reminds me of iraq SHOCK AND AWE
😁😁😁
American CANNOT DO
ANYTHING againts the russian
😁
THEY ARE WATCHING
HOW RUSSIAN
TAKE EASILY THE UKRAINE
Ukraine is a gate way to Europe, the NATO have forgotten history until it’s too late. NATO should have staged military exercises and docking naval forces in Ukraine months ago.
Push it to the limit.
Hopefully the Russian soliders are vaccinated
Feels messed up that we’re just watching it unfold
I think every country just wants to be on top it’s terrible but I hope Russia knows it can get ugly real quick if they mess with America
“Full-Scale Invasion”? Where is the big Armor battles? I was told there would be Tank Battles! Where is the massive artillery barrage? Where is the massive waves of paratroopers blanketing the sky? Where is the wave after wave of carpet bombing? STFU
Putin is a murderous tyrant. Both the USA and the UK betrayed the Ukraine (think Budapest memo). Sick and sad.
All I see and hear government officials say is “praying, praying, paying for Ukraine, and condemning Putin’s actions” while Putin is killing civilians, sitting in the safety of his well-guarded office, and making a mockery of the so-called “world leaders” and a chess game out of other nations.
Spread the message to the world, to the Russian citizens, to the Russian soldiers : “Citizens of Russia : Remember the Nazis invaded Stalingrad murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters!? You are now the Nazis invading and murdering the innocent fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters of Ukraine!” Post large signs along the roads of incoming Russian vehicles and tanks so they can see.
Trump in the US funded a truck convoys in Canada and US for weeks before and then the same day Trump orders the truck Convoy start out the same morning Russia Invades Ukraine to Washington DC to try somehow blame the current administration to get re-elected whilst he is funding ridiculous truck convoys arguing a lack of freedom out of context. They didn’t bank on the complete contrast between a real lossof freedom and a bunch of Trumpers imagination of the movie Braveheart they quoted from,
This is really heartbreaking and sad tbh #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦
Do Democrats see where there obsession with calling everyone a Nazi leads too? Putin uses your logic to push his agenda. Next he’ll claim he’s invading Ukraine to push more transgender rights.
Listening to the US President talking about peace and the defense of Democracy without analyzing the chronology of the facts can even convince (the layman). The USSR ended in 1991 but for the US the NATO war machine could not stop. They buy weapons and fund projects that help US astronomical spending. Like the F-35 (American tax dredge). However they surrounded Russia on all sides and wanted to turn Ukraine into a big military base and use cannon fodder. By the way, why are two brother peoples who share the same language and history and family and blood ties at war? That’s exactly why. Has there been a lull in the conflict now and what did (NATO and US) do? Did they exhaustively try to reach a peace agreement? No. They sent tons of missiles and weapons to the Ukrainians. Literally they said: – you and the Russians together blow each other up. You must fight to the death. I wonder where the policy of peaceful conflict resolution is. Where’s the brotherhood? And where they want to go. Because Russians and Europeans had the same traumatic past in common and could be friends. However what is the future being built by creating a nuclear power as an enemy. Annihilation? If Europe continues to listen to the US, focused on fomenting conflicts and concerned with selling weapons, it will end up reaping this: war. Peaceful conflict resolution. People’s self-determination. Mutual respect. Non-belligerent politics. This is the way. Still from this perspective, it is obvious that if it were in the interest to help Ukraine economically and socially, there would already be a rich and prosperous nation here. However, they only gave weapons.
If the U.S. and NATO didn’t push to have their military expansion to Ukraine in the first place this will never happen. They’ve been warned already before many times, but they just ignored it. Look at what’s happening now, innocent civilians were just the victim here.
US and NATO’s military expansion to Ukraine was a security threat to Russia that’s why, it already hit Putin’s nerves.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Geez almost looks like an American invasion , OOPS we never invade we just “liberate” because you see we are ALWAYS the good guys
and if you don’t believe me then maybe a killer drone is in your future
NATO and the west are scared of russia. They know only how to talk and impose useless sanctions and conduct meetings without any result. By the end of their meeting russia wouldve taken over ukraine.
Zelensky and the corrupt obiden-soros kiev coup are finished.
Long live Putin, Russia, and the new liberated Ukraine 👍…
