Thousands converged on the streets of at least 50 cities, after learning of their president’s order to invade Ukraine.

Shame on you Putin!
And Pakistan…might be India to…..👀
@Spilly McGee. why?
@Kashif Bajwa figure it out for yourself….brain dead.. 😐
🤲🙏🤲🙏🤲🙏🤲🙏🤲🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭🤲🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I heard thousands have been arrested.
Pakistan is getting its two minutes of fame because of this situation.
3 hours brother what about Americans and NATO only talking not doing any practical work🤔🤣🤣
Shame on Pakistan PM 😶
When you are killing kashmiries you butchers
Praising to Putin, but please don’t kill innocent people
Sad but true, Ukranians are lect to fend for themselves. May God have mercy on your children. Peace be to all.
Pakistan prime minister was there to stop Putin from any further invasion
The people votes does not count like in Survivor. The people of the world have vote for peace, not war. We must make our votes count and stop the few elite from conducting war. The majority do not want war. We cannot let the few vote out peace. We must do what we can to support peace.
They sit across a tiny table and what we have seen last week that France and Germany leaders were sitting across a 50 metters table
Shameless
Free Russian Anti War Activists Rights Now We Want Peace We Hates Wars ✌✌✌☮☮☮🕊🕊🕊
Pakistan’s Prime Minister is a tyrant and so is Russia’s Putin they don’t care for anybody but themselves power-hungry dictators
All Ukraine can do is fight; this isn’t a war they started… fight and drive those war criminals out of your country. Sad how politicians are sitting comfortably in their homes while young soldiers are out killing each other
@Christiane Vanherck yes, guerilla
@The Mentalist Zz no, guerrilla with double r
Btw, Ukrainians will never surrender.
@The Mentalist Zz Remember the Holodomor when Russia killed up to 10 million Ukrainians. surrender isn’t an option.
@Christiane Vanherck I don’t know if you are Ukrainians in Ukraine or just sitting somewhere comfortably.
In Afghanistan in the 80s, angry Russian forces annihilated WHOLE villages just because their platoon fighters were injured in firefights. Neither Ukraine is Afghanistan nor Ukrainians are Pakhtouns (aka Taliban). Time to forget NATIONALISTIC fanaticism and negotiate for the sake of humanity.
@Artman 10 million? I think it’s stretching it too much.

To hear a corrupt leader blame others for corruption …….hope he goes down in flames.
PM Imran Khan is a great and honest leader. A true gift for pakistan. An international hero.
Yeah .. Terrorist Country 🇵🇰
@SAM same to you
@Abhay@Abhi from where ever you belong you are mind less person
International begger 😂
@san redkar pity on u
Ukraine : Help us we are dying.
US and NATO : you are doing good.
Ukraine : where is your promise to defend Ukraine.
US and NATO : I don’t remember who you are.
Taiwan : Thinking about trusting the US
@King_Rael the core income of US comes from selling weapons and technology and that’s what they wanted always. There are other reasons for not involving in fight directly.
@Gerrit Taylor majority of the world don’t agree with your statement, you are just suffering from self esteem. Oil thieves/arms seller/weed smokers shouldn’t be suffering from that
@Ice Jackal another “aMeRiCa aLwAyS bAd” Sure America has done bad things in the past but so has every country in the world and past actions shouldn’t define one’s current actions cause things and circustances change and America’s core income comes from Tech not war the very platform which you are using to reply is proof of that just look at Google, Facebook, Microsoft they’re the world’s biggest companies and bring a lot of money for America as a nation
@Ice Jackal still thinking America fights for oil for itself? America gets it’s oil from it’s oil drills all across the nation it doesn’t need to steal outside oil, but it does need to keep it off from it’s enemies example – terrorists groups from getting it
@King_Rael either you’re dilusional or you’re lying to yourself. It’s never a past thing, America built to lie and racism. American own oil is never enough for its own needs and who you call terrorists? Taliban? isis? 🤣 who created them at first place? America created them to dominate the rivals and to create a global turmoil for its own benefit. Oh and you’re talking about Tech? like only white people are geniuses? 👀 don’t forget the greatest weapon America uses… H1B visa. American technology contributed by immigrants. Do not ever forget that! and think that before you bully some colored people on the street.
No to NATO!
???
Shame on Putin and Moscow 😔🇺🇦🙏🏽 an Evil act…
Moscow and the country doesn’t have to do anything with the war. Putin is the only person has to do anything when it comes to the invasion. Not a city or a country. Only a person.
@CobraZoid yeah , I feel bad for the Russian people ..
Shame on Biden, bush ,who were warmongers
I salute these brave protesters who are willing to risk their freedom, health, jobs… to take a stand against this invasion. The puppets of the Russian supreme court, following Putin’s demands, banned the last human rights NGO Memorial (Sakharov was once chairman) and criminalised it’s activists using these facist laws. Memorial documented the human rights abuses under Stalin and had collected countless testimonies of former Gulag prisoners. One Memorial representative, a Gulag historian, was recently sentenced to 15 yrs in a penal colony, convicted under false charges. What a charade! A truly Orwellian scenario.
I can assure you his approval rating was not 69%. Majority of people in Russia disapprove of him for years, ESPECIALLY now
He’s a dictator you think he tells the truth or cares about what his people want
@Mask man Exactly
Because Russian people can clearly see that their paranoid dictator is feeling deeply insecure.
his real approval rating was 420%
@JewTube Wow, Kim Jung Un must be jealous at those rating 😀
I don’t know how these megalomaniacs can sanction all these wars without cause. I know for sure most Russians don’t want this. I pray for my Ukrainian brothers and sisters. Prayers from India
True Russian People are protesting the war, but Putin does not care.
@Chris Noble Worse, Putin is silencing his own people as means of scapegoating them
At least some Russian is doing something, EU and USA pathetic
Given that Putin has effectively threatened nuclear strikes against any country that tries to interfere, I’m afraid I can’t really fault the US or NATO for trying to find a way to handle the situation without thousands of their OWN people getting vaporized.
As always only men will die
very few protests in russia
with a very small # of people.
nothing event
Sanctions don’t harm those I’m power. They harm average civilians.
My prayers to the victims of this war and all wars.
These guys have lots in common they are all women haters
Words matter and Al Al-Jazeera your words is propagandic
Putin invades Ukraine to “free the Ukrainian people from the suppressive regime in Kiev”.
Also Putin: Protesters in Moskow who oppose the war get arrested.
God bless these brave Russians who risk their health and safety to protest this idiotic and pointless Putin war
Усім українцям, дай вам Бог сил і волі леви боротися за Батьківщину та родини. Нехай Бог благословить вас на перемогу.
What?
Russian live in Russia, Putin live in Soviet
I’m hope the Russian gov doesn’t torture the arrested protesters . All the world country leaders take action fast ! My God what are you people doing? Sitting in the toilet? World leaders are paid for defense and public protection. Do your job right or just resign…!
These people are getting money for movement but actually it’s reality
Now USA and NATO is trapped hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Time to shut your trap.
Now Ukraine become a birthplace of terrorists ,be aware NATO ,,, enjoy
no war
Putin assassin
By this logic, the Russian people should overthrow the militaristic, chauvinistic, nationalistic, dictatorial junta in control of the Kremlin.
Bhikhari gya putin se milne
What about Palestine stop your hypocrisy west
Go putin👍
I wonder what Putin really wants. Poor people from Ukraine having to deal with a maniac.
People dying for Poetins mideaval ideas…….god will punish you
– “Let down your weapons and go home”
– “But.. we are home”
Where are the peacekeepers, where is our Nato ?????? That costs billions but really, where are they ????
Ukraine. Is. Not. Part. Of. NATO!
It is a defensive alliance!
Given that Putin has effectively threatened nuclear strikes against any country that tries to interfere, my guess is that they’re trying to find a way to handle the situation without thousands of their OWN people getting vaporized.
Do not poke tge big bad bear
Say what you want about America, but at least here you actually CAN say what you want about America, its leaders, and its military and your right to do so is protected so long as you’re not trying to start a rebellion. Seems the same cannot be said for Putin’s Russia.
One day the younger generation will inherit Russia and hopefully they will choose a path of freedom and democracy. The state is supposed to be a servant to its people and not vice versa.
People of Russian should overthrow Putin, they shoul overthrow Putin!!! Russian people, should overthrow Putin!!!!
Putin has parkingsons disease his head is completely screwed hence y he is doing crazy things
Putin is a murdering, lying, KGB creep!
Thank you Russian protesters! Keep strong. You are so brave.
Russia is destroying the global stranglehold of the WEF and its One World Gov’t intentions ( through the installation of ” young globalist leaders” ), by preventing what would otherwise be unchecked NATO expansion if Putin had failed to act swiftly. Whether wanted or not..Ukrania will in the next short while be under Russian control, Zelensky will be in exile seeking asylum in some other Country and life will quickly return to normal for the People of Ukrania.
They’re silencing them, cause they think that they’re dangerous, pleading for peace. Too late, everyone knows the majority of Russians do not stand by this decision or their tyrant.
Stay strong, Russians and Ukranians!
yeah im not buying the “we are only targeting military installations . either yall have the accuracy of my grandma on cod or you are kill citizens and dont care
lol…noo crit thought in these guys i guess..maybe they watch too much CNN
Why has it taken so long to compare Putin to Hitler? Putin had played it really smart all the way up to now. I thought Putin read history ! This never works out in the end. All of this cuz he hated the revolution in Ukraine. Bullies bully till someone bloodies their nose.
Anyone who stands for Trump stands for Putin’s bloodshed, Trump attacked America and praised Putin.
Anyone who is American will reject Trump in favor of a real Republican like George Bush if they don’t agree with President Biden.
Accept George Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq though lol. If Trump was still in office Putin would be too scared to pull stuff like this. How’s the CNN kool-aid? 😄
Russians deserve more freedom ❤️
For all Leftist morons out there…Note: protests in Russia, an authoritarian country run by a thug dictator, are illegal…sound familiar Lefties? Before you get a swell head and think the US is better these days, think again. January 6th? Ring a bell?
soldiers should protest with them too, thats the only way to stop war , i hope it well end soon. Even though, im worried about the protestors safty. Maybe try to get someone else as presedent of russia someone decent that really cares about russian citizins.
Russians killing Russians! If we don’t put a stop to this now, soon it will be Chinese killing Chinese even though the emperor of China says they would not do that. Personally, I don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth. The good Russian people are protesting in the streets and are being arrested in huge numbers for defying the government. Where are they going to put them all? I have a suggestion. Now that a good many of the Uighurs have been brainwashed and re-educated on how to perform slave labour in factories, there is less need to house them in the concentration camps in Xinjiang. Those Uighurs who have been re-educated have been sent out in groups of 100 along with their handlers guaranteeing their complacency to factories all around China where they are housed on site 24/7. This leaves hundreds of thousands of spaces in the re-education centres which can now be used to house Russian citizens who oppose the invasion of the Ukraine. The Russian government can fill up trains and send them to Xinjiang! Wait a minute, haven’t we seen this before. I assumed we were over this already and the world had moved on to be a better place. Obviously, I was wrong. Take a look at the countries causing all the problems. They are dictatorships, ruthless dictatorships. And who in the past created all the havoc in the world? Dictatorships!
When you watch all the Chinese propaganda on YouTube, they are always talking about the US and how there is so much collateral damage during their bombings. There are reporters on the ground in the Ukraine who are clearly filming strikes on hospitals and residential areas. We’ve already seen the blood spattered beds were children died sleeping from shrapnel in residential areas. Sanctions will not work because the emperor has guaranteed his buddy Putin That he will foot the bill for any sanctions which caused them difficulty. Dictators make for strange bedfellows.
Isi pakistan 🇵🇰
Putin stop acting like Hitler
All these money will not go for the ppl but for the oligarchs and the politicians.. with these money russia will have 2 years to survive… absolute joke..
Yet Putin talks about defeating the Nazis… how about the 6 milion ppl Stalin killed in Ukraine oh yeah… that never happened
Putin is delusional
The Thumbnail. 😁
A smiling protestor. Sure, some would say, they would be glad to challenge the establishment of corruption and corrupt power. 👏
A change of government would be nice. 😏
He really is short, isn’t he?
God bless all the people in Russia who are standing up for peace, your bravery shows the world that you do not want this war. I am so proud of all of you. May you all remain safe.
Вся власть советам
Putin is facist
Strong people standing against tyranny. Canada and our Truckers stand in prayer with you crying out to God to free us from dictators everywhere.
Ukraine invaded by troops in Russia, Russian people arrested by Russian police because Putin wants to silence his own people. Its incredibly twisted that he’s willing to silence his own people for the actions he’s deliberately causing. He’s using his own people as scapegoats
This guy Khan is s piece of work.
To shake hands with Vlad at that time.
Incredible
Two crazy people together….
I pray for the safety of thesd peace loving Russians. They had enough of Putin’s childish reactions.
Pakistani President 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Russia change your president that’s all they need
BRAVO RUSSIA YOUR POWER PEOPLE :*******************
Saying that Ukraine is made up of Neo- Nazis is a desperate excuse for all this violence. The president of Ukraine is Jewish!
Even worse is that Putin’s regime has been sponsoring far right fascists parties in western democracies for years
Show Rosji i Ukrainy.
Ukraina która na,co dzień handluję z Rosją bronią neuklernä
Coś jeszcze ?
Putin assassin,
Not only devils, Putin & his gang, but also big liars!!
Putins time is over.
❤️🇷🇺❤️
Dictators are willing to fight until his their soldier. The question is, how willing are the soldiers to fight for their dictator?
His own military need to just say no to crazy.
Surely his own government and military know he’s absolutely insane, they need to grow some balls.
