As armoured vehicles keep pouring into Ukraine, Russian forces are getting closer to the capital, Kyiv.
Millions of Ukrainians have fled to the western city of Lviv.
Although Ukrainian forces continue to offer stiff resistance, the front lines are edging closer to the country’s heart.

#Ukraine #Russia
I pray for swift regime change in Ukriane to end the sufferings of poor civilians.
Viva 🇷🇺
I stand with Russia 🇷🇺
So there’s no top Russian official with common sense to just cap Putin? Russia is screwed for a long time now because of him. The Ukrainian people have shown they are strong and Russia is going to pay most for his short sightedness and power grab.
I want to game.. stop the war
All of Europe has to pay for their deeds. This war will cleanse millions.
Unless this becomes world war, Russia will win.
Go Russia go..
Perfect target for B2s Spirit
yeah espacially with unactive defences and conwoys with ones unactive cuz we got blown out of the sky inlcuding majority of ukrains air force
They’ll get knock out the sky in a heart beat! God speed for Putin 🇺🇲💜🇷🇺
“The divisive nature of politics runs counter to the fundamental Bahá’í
belief that unity is essential to the progress of civilization. The near
paralysis of elected governments today, not just at the national level,
but with growing frequency at the state and local levels, bears witness
to the enervating effects of partisanship. In contrast, the Bahá’í goal
of establishing the unity of humankind includes not only our support
for the eventual organization of the countries of the world in a global
federal system, but requires a re-orientation of how each element of
society—individuals, families, civic organizations, towns, racial and
ethnic groups, classes, and nations—views and interacts with all other
elements of society. Bahá’u’lláh (The promised one of all ages) has
written that “He Who is your Lord, the All-Merciful, cherisheth in His
heart the desire of beholding the entire human race as one soul and one
body.” The mere self-characterization of candidates as “opponents” of
one another is inconsistent with this approach, let alone the much more
censurable practices now taken for granted in political campaigns.“
“Our
contributions should be based on Bahá’í principles rather than partisan
viewpoints. Material related to issues as varied as global climate
change, race unity, the advancement of women, and global prosperity,
produced under the guidance of the Universal House of Justice and
various National Spiritual Assemblies, is readily available to assist
the friends in such discussions.”
Shoghi Effendi: “Absolute impartiality in the matter of political parties should be shown by words and by deeds.”
NATIONAL SPIRITUAL ASSEMBLY OF THE BAHÁ’ÍS OF THE UNITED STATES
Part of the empire of lies
Putin sends the youngest conscripts into the fires of war. Only boys still 16, 17 years young…
The age of my own two children, my sons.
They are busy with music, with their girlfriends and their school diplomas. Not so much with cleaning their rooms, but that is ok. They will someday.
Meanwhile the Russian army’s commanders push these children, still strangers to adult responsibilities, straight to the front lines.
Deliberately locked in vulnerable columns of trucks, as living targets. The commanders, veterans, know the reality of war and they are often even too scared themselves to actually go take the lead ahead of the troops. Also, they know the goal they are heading towards.
The boys do not.
For months they have been telling the boys that they are ‘on exercise’. Now it all turns out to be a sickening betrayal: They are to be sacrificed for a dark figure in a deep bunker, safely underground beneath a mountain, far away.
For the boys when they wake of after the tiresome ride, half asleep, suddenly they wake up to a war. When they get shot at, at first they don’t even know by whom, or why, even where they are and what they’re doing there.
The plan is that they will shoot back when their friends fall; this was the purpose of the ‘exercise’, to create bonds and make them react like that.
So that they will join the attack to protect their group of friends.
The darkest and most cynical instrument of war, which every veteran knows. The bitter truth is, unless they find a way to escape, defect or surrender, they will not see their mothers again.
Soon they will lie there, in the spring, in the spring of their lives, dying in the forest. Their insides on the moss, like caviar smeared on the toast of the billionaires aboard their superyachts full of beautiful young women and champagne.
Girls they should be dancing with at their age…
Soon those boys lying there on the forest floor, in agony, dying for nothing, permanently damaged, wounded and maimed for life, just like in all previous unnecessary wars, in the cursed names of the corrupt elites…
The names of these boys should never be forgotten, should be remembered in compassion, while the monster in the Kremlin should never be forgiven as he does not know remorse and will never apologize.
Putin makes them martyrs, so their fathers, brothers, cousins and friends will join the fight and die for him and his safe, rich friends.
These rich profiteers that did nothing to stop any of it.
If this is to be the third world war, before the bombs end us all, all of our children, already take a moment now. Also think of the tears of the mothers and fathers who tried to raise their sons, only to lose them to the delusions of grandeur of the self-made monster in the Kremlin.
Also have compassion for the Urkaine men, often fathers themselves, who took their wives and children to safety only to return to their land in defense of their livesm the childrens future and freedom; who aim to stop the war by defending, who will soon be in tears too, to see who to shoot at.
I cry for all the children of the world, I cry while writing this and I cried at the protest, I cried while reading these very words to my children.
I cry for the children of Ukraine, but cry also in honour to these young Russian boys, who have already lost their lives and they never had a chance in this life.
Honourless Putin does not cry for them, but I know I already have, from my heart.
The final judgment is to the Highest God, who is love.
Russia just tested the mady water by in experienced soldiers and old weapons once used in the war of George back in 2008. Everyone was happy to believe they are going to be defeated. Putin is now sending the experienced troops and modern weapons. Who is going to stop them. The West reacted quite desperately and its bad. They played all their cards and nothing left except for the propaganda. I feel sorry for the Ukrainians caught in this war. This is just the beginning god knows how far they will go.
that’s terrible, I’m afraid noone can stop them
We do not stop.
Когда кружевные трусы в ЕС получать будете?
Tukey drones working great …
espacially when used by suprise, direct confrontations it was soo useless that the seperatists were able to shoot them down
তালেবান আমেরিকার বিরুদ্ধে দেশ বাঁচাতে যুদ্ধ করলে হয় জঙ্গি আর ইউক্রেন রাশিয়ার বিরুদ্ধে যুদ্ধ করলে হয় দেশপ্রেমিক 🤣
its a normal ending went you deal with usa and otan… we lie, we cheat and we stole ….
What the president need to do is to appoint a successor quickly in case he fall and the capital get taken over. The fight ain’t finish. Not by a long time. Now that these invaders are within the nation, it’s time to bury them in the coming months using guerilla tactics.
Ukraine need to put Russia security interest in Ukraine foreign policy decision. Ukraine was part of Soviet Union and part of Russia in the past. Ignore Russia security concern not in the best interest for Ukraine.
they ignored now this is their consequence
It’s a very wrong decision of the president of Ukraine and their politicians. How come you’re a leader and you risks the lives of so many innocents civilians because of your ego? He should’ve think of that from the very start. He knew that it is really hard to fight a battle that you know you cannot win. He should’ve stayed neutral from the start so Russia did not feel threatened. In fact they are one and has deep ties in history.I feel bad for the innocents Ukrainian civilians for these mess.
S500 and S400 Russia air defence system will take care of the no fly zone, Thanks to Israel constant bombings in Syria using their F35 stealth fighter jet Russia radar are adjusted they could detect it already no more stealth, Nato and U.S. plane will be at the mercy of this plane the moment they are on the air over Europe, Not to mention the hypersonic missiles and ballistic missile that could hit the whole of Europe and the U.S.,
For 8 years of conflict Russia gave Ukraine ample time to de-escalate the conflict but rejected by Ukraine now the conflict expose into a full war over Ukraine territory.
But Russia Have To Remove The Chemical Weapon In Ukraine, Its Not Just For Russia Security, Its For Our Security Also, Just Like USA Invade Irak To Remove Chemical Weapon, The World Will Not Be At Peace If Chemical Weapon Is Not Removed From Ukraine, Ukraine Government Will Use The Chemical Weapon On Innocent People
These people should have resisted the Azov Batallion overthrowing the government in 2014. Now they pay the price. Hope they learn that supporting Nazis never end well.
indeed their fault
May God protect you innocent people of Ukrainians
IT’S AMAZING HOW THE WORLD 🌎 LETS A NUT JOB PUTIN WITH HIS FINGER ON THE NUCLEAR ☢️ BUTTON RULE THE WORLD 🗺 😟😬 BUT THE WORLD 🌎 DOESN’T WANT TO GET ATTACKED BY PUTIN SO, THEY KEEP SILENT 😳 THERE IS NO WWIII 🌸JUSTICE AS SLOW AS IT IS WILL PREVAIL AFTER HE DESTROYS UKRAINE 🇺🇦 😥
THE NOBLE PEACE PRIZE GOES TO PRESIDENT ZELINSKY N HIS COUNTRYMEN 🍂💖🧡
Stop killing
Putin told them, so many times, do not cross the red line, but the puppet of the NATO nations didn’t want to listen we know who are the layers, no weapons of más destruction in 🇮🇶, 🇱🇾, and Siria 🇸🇾, we know and the world knows it..
Poland has been getting to know Russian politicians for above 80 years and knows them very well, that is why
“History teaches that a democracy without values easily turns into open or disguised totalitarianism” Pope John Paul II
Free Palestinian.. URAA 💪
Incredible to live during times like this – I always thought that Hitler was a once off evil anomaly …. Now here’s Putin shamelessly repeating the 2nd world war.
How can you compare Putin to a man that wanted to racialy purify the whole world which would’ve ended up in over a billion people murdered and in his attempt he wiped out 75% percent of the Jewish population of europe and had millions of slavic people executed?
@Flintus Mclintock let’s track Putin and see how far he goes – if he mentions Nukes, then we should pay attention !
@No 2 A.i he’s not going to use nukes ffs he’s only pulling peoples heart strings and people like you fool for it, if he wants to use nukes then he may as well shoot himself in the head.
Kyiv may fall but the people will not Submit to the invader.
Russia is not going to back down. So, Nobody can prevent fall of Ukraine. Putting emotions aside, West should accept the reality and move on.
Congratulations Russia. Proceed asap and incapacitate Ukraine leadership butchers of his own citizens just like USA and its allies did by bombing Yugoslavia Afghanistan Libya and Iraq killing president Saddam Hussein and president Gaddafi and killing millions of innocent civilians lives and wounding millions of innocent civilians and destroying all government institutions and infrastructures without taking into account human rights laws. Don’t keep in to these bunch of liars and hypocrites from USA and Europe.
Well if these kids *posted videos* on *social media* then surely Putin will stop.
/s
HE WE GO 🤥
Purge the natzis! Go putin!
He told you in 2008.
He told you in 2014.
He’s telling you now.
Everyone else: **surprise Pikachu face**
They underestimate Putins message to everyone. Now it’s gonna be worst than ever
Thank god Biden had enough sense to Not do a No-Fly zone as fhat would mean we would be at War directly with a country that has a War Hardened people and Military matched by our own
Well done Russia keep going.
Just destroy Ukraine from the map.
Putin gave a ultimatum for peace to guarantee Russia security from NATO encroachment which is understandable, instead US , NATO and it’s allies started supplying weapon to the kyiev regime in Ukraine which was interpretated as preparation for war raising prospects of world war 3
Let’s go Russia! Kick the NATO imperialist out
We support Russia… Russia best..
Rasya saport
I understand other countries can’t enforce a no-fly zone because that would involve directly shooting down Russian jets. But, can other countries send in peacekeepers on the ground to get in the way of the Russian forces to help protect civilian areas?
You mean like UN peacekeepers (Blue helmets). The United Nations members would have to vote on sending peacekeepers to a conflict zone, unfortunately Russia is a member of the UN and obviously voted no.
Sitting ducks. Wipe them out.
Zionists took over the capital of Jerusalem
Congrats in advance for the Russians in taking over the capitol
U have repeated history once again. The Zionists in 6 days and hopefully U’ll in 6 days
God speed for Putin 🇺🇲💜🇷🇺
god help ukrain🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
pls god help Ukrainian 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺👍👍👍👍🦁🦁🦁
Turkish drones have certainly achieved world wide acknowledgement
Let’s get done with it !! Let’s go for WW3 .. we are ready
Ukraine’s prime minister is using the people of Ukraine as a shield to vilify Russia. Because they’re talking about Washington. It’s a threat to Russia.
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🙏🙏❤️💐
are you mad? Ukrainians have nothing in comparison to Russia to fight with ,they even disassembled their nuclear weapons to be in a state of peace with USA UK and even Russia !!!!! Is Al Jazeera Russia backed ????
The rich don’t want comunist governments but those comunist governments are good for the poer people
Reality begins
I have no idea whatever made Ukraine think war with Russia was a good idea. NATO won’t step into Ukraine and no matter how brave they all try to look on camera… They’ll lose. This is taking long because Russian soldiers apparently are stopping cuz of protesters lol. I don’t know if y’all have ever seen war but this is not what war looks like.
Russia the new North Korea
I am from Iceland. I am a pure Aryan. No Arabs in Iceland,,,,,,
When America invaded Iraq were was the moral outrage across Europe, were was the moral outrage when America funded the wars in Libya , Syria. We’re was the moral outrage when millions of children died in Iraq because of the American embargo’s in the early 1990s. We’re is the moral outrage in Saudi Arabia s war in Yemen and the famine that the country is experiencing. In September of1973 a brilliant Chilean president Allende was murdered by Pinochet a puppet for the Americans, were was the moral outrage. All this American foreign policies and the western world never stood on its feet as they have now. In the last generation all this action have served to emboldened Putin with China watching with thirst over Taiwan. Western nation now have to remember this are armed nuclear powers. Unlike the Middle East, Africa or Latin America.
Remember Bosnian War .see how west differently reacted to lt. They just watched Bosnian being butchered by Serbs
.they were more European than Ukraine.they even put weapon sanctions on Bosnia!!!?
Biden is an incompetent coward
Slava ukraine..
Defend your independence, your country, your land, your democratic ideology, your children, your wife, your husband & your parents..
Don’t let the invaders take it all away.. don’t let your country be made a *DOLL STATE* Putin..
respect to russia down with america and their puppets
Now every country should start producing nuclear weapon….bigger countries will just bully and play politics…..
it s Ukrainian water, God saves you, situate them no water no drink no food
I AM SENDING AN EMERGENCY TO YUKRAINE TO SOMALIA
Russia needs to take it if it needs to protect its country
OUR SOMALI CITIZENS SHOULD COME OUT OF UKRAINE AND FOLLOW ALL FLAYT
RUSSIA STOP THE WAR IN SOMALIA ASK ABOUT THE VIOLENCE OF WAR
Brave
BRAVO RUSSIA!!! Destroy the HIPOCRATE WESTERN! They closed their eyes to the Palestinian, and now lets close our eyes for them. 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
This war must continue for peace ✌
ditto and long live Russia
America is an inferior state. The United States did not take any action when Israel invaded Palestine. Now Russia is invading Ukraine, so they are imposing sanctions on Russia. Destroy America
ZOG
The Russian dollar is going to be worth less than the Mexican peso WOW!!! From America
poor blue eye blond white people 😢😥 this shouldn’t be happening to them. war and torture is only ok if zionist attacks tortures and ocupys brown and black people
8 years of artillery strikes on its own people, and nobody in Ukraine begged to stop.
Shame on Zelensky for civilians citizens for human shield.
A very dubious war. Russian tropps can invade Ukraine directly to the big cities, particularly Kiev, in km long columns without any blockades, no attacks, bo ambush. The main goal is to mobilize Europe and to push Europe (except Rothschild’s diverse Jew UK) down a dark abyss on the way to the NWO.
Nato and USA are so clueless when Russia controls all of Ukriane The Russians will have West and USA weapons like Javelin, Anti tank missile and many others the spoils of war for Russia just like the taliban on Afghanistan
Western media lies. Russia has air superiority . Thetrucks prove it.
Al jazeera is a liar of muslim
Al Jazeera stop you lies from 40 to 60 that’s 50% of phucking lies
🇧🇩❤️🇹🇷❤️🇵🇰
When ukrainian nazis were murdering 400 thousand polish women and children during the WWII nobody was helping the victims. The justice is coming now.
