Zelensky already fled to US embassy in Poland 🤭
You wish. He’s more of a hero and man you could ever be.
@Ashton C. ?
Hero lol! hiding behind the civilians and giving big talks.
@Tribal you must be a part of the evil 👿 empire. How bout a McDonald’s burger and a coke. Oh wait. ✌️
Where’s Putin? Killing Russians who disagree with him?
The ICJ just announced Russia stop hostilities. Bet they don’t.
I think Russia need’s to give Ukrainian assylum in there own country once they taken over.
They did. But Ukrainians want to go to the wealthy nations in the west
@A.R Ahmed like yours.r u in a wealthy nation too.
What a shame. Ignorant people blaming the victims and blaming countries that didn’t bomb anyone in Ukraine. I’m not surprised though.
Humans have always been such : greedy and pagal
Oh god
Help all innocent
Nice
I didn’t expect to see ” Pagal ” written in a Yt comment.
Zelensky is to blame for this..
He is urging the people of Ukraine to commit suicide
Ooh ! It hurts now, this people were saying they do not fear Russia and if Russia invaded they will fight and they are waiting for it to come even calling Russians Ogs. This Nazis to me they don’t look like they are fighting but they are crying 😢 😭 😪.
bot
Let Learn About History of 1st WWl upto NOW, Truthfully? For next-generation of Human?
How many non- Jew died in Holocaust? So Smart, We Can’t use “Holocaust ” non – Jew?
It’s not matter, how many Ukrainian Die, when they need to Move Jewish to destroy Palestinians?
The war will not end until Russia achieves its goals. It’s time for Zelensky to think seriously about this. In NATO, the entrance is closed, in the EU too. What is Zelensky waiting for? To kill even more Ukrainians? We must agree to peace with Russia, at any cost!
This tears the person behind this will never find peace and may the wrath of our living God fall upon him.long live Ukraine
What About The 60Yr Tears Of Palestinians. Iraq Afghanistan Somalia Syria Libya.
Niguo
Iraq War criminal NATO empire of lies
This is the height of wickedness of man to man…
The supply for war us nato its fault not by russian
Al jazeera journalists are racist because they never discovered what is going on in Syria, Libya, Afghans, Iraq and many many many other places.
Long live Russia.
Putin is yawa. Do you means what is yawa is he is a satans .putin is killing innocent civilians
The sooner velenskyy is dead the sooner the war is over.
I’ve been a long fan of the “Start Here” series. Today’s global news even on social media, broadcasters just keep stretching stories so much, that the actual news gets watered down. Start here always takes all the important topics and serves in in a 10min clip that makes something so complex easier to digest, not dramatized and packed with just the essentials. Thankyou Al Jazeera and Sandra Gathmann.
The United States must send the American military to defend Ukraine now! Already THREE weeks too late. This is the good war, at the right time, in the right place. Oh, I almost forgot. Have you heard? NATO allies have voted unanimously to change the name of the Alliance. New name: LSM. (Lame Surrender Monkeys) You gotta admit… has a nice ring to it.
..and trigger WWIII?
You should book. A ticket and stay in the front line. Go now
as always great explainers with Sandra, invasion is such a strong but real definition for what happening there, wonder if we could use the invasion when it comes to the Westbank and Gaza. I mean Palestina have been invaded 72 years ago and people are dying there on regular basis ever since and no one calls it an invasion or condemns the oppressors/invaders.
@Joshua Condell, go there and see with your own eyes what the occupation is doing to these people. you are not better than Putin if you talk like this. one day your children will be so ashamed of you as the children of nazis are now ashamed of their grandparents. I’m sorry about what your people have been through, but you are not better now.
@Vitor Israel does not “occupy” the Jordanian West bank. It has a troop presence there legally recognized by the Jordanian government in the 1994 peace agreements. That’s a status of forces agreement.
Don’t lecture me on morality. I had a good laugh, but continue and I’ll report you for harassment.
ইউক্রেন মুসলিম হলে তরা হাসতি এখন অরা খ্রিষ্টান তো এজন্য কাদছ তরা মানুষ না তর জানুয়ার তদের ধর্মের মানুষে যোদ্ধে আক্রান্ত হলে কাদছ আর সিরিয়া লিবিয়া ফিলিস্তিন তাদে ওপর বোমা পরলে তরা হাসচ পার্টি করছ তরা কি ভাবে কছ মানুষ
Its called JUDEA AND SAMARIA with Jerusalem in the center and its 100% J.E.W.I.S.H
@keybord fighter you read that in a book? an old one for sure. just on GoogleMaps mate, these places don’t seem to exist anymore, not more than Narnia or Mordon. and if you go from that book you should be a slave in Egypt as it was from there that you apparently escaped, so maybe go there and kick some people out of their houses and move in.
Now do a pice where you compare the disproportionate coverage between the war in Ukraine and Yemen. And the hypocricy of the West.
Heartbreaking. The war must be stopped. So tragic.
Remember when their president said that Palestine it’s a terrorist state now who cares about Ukraine we pray to ALLAH that HE bring’s More destruction to their homes and we will be happy Alhamdulilah …..
So sad to see this ( who know million of million people kids women killed in middle East. Palestine. Afghan until today killing by Israel.USA. eropian army no one ask about no low no worries no senction why??? Why because they are not humans?? Why because they Muslim community?? I ask this question to all American. & eropian people specially ?😭 know how many media how many leaders speech about Ukraine why only know ?? Because you all heartless ) 😭 I hate killing people each other who ever we all one people no more hate make peaceful world 😍
It starts here – invasion of Palestine for 74yrs and it’s impact
🕊God speed for Putin 🇺🇲💜🇷🇺
Excellent.
people of Russia !! you must stop this !!
You should ask the west to stop the war and. Start the dialogue, not sendimg the weapons. LOL
Putin start war…
The President of Ukraine is klliiing his people, what putin want is not Join the NATO only. But he ignore him think that west can help him.
I don’t want someone die-but I blame Russia 🇷🇺 or Putin-do you?then why and give me one reason ✌️
Good, reporting, but one-sided. To fully cover the impact on the innocent, you’d have to cover the 14,000 ethic Russians these Ukrainians have been busy killing for the last 8 years. Appeals to the emotions while ignoring the intellect. Overall, great job, though.
This war shows how we have chosen to not appreciate life. We are simply human beings.
So sad.
Mariupol will become like the seige of Sarajevo if they cant get the civillians out
This is hard to watch without crying.
What about the human impact happened to the Iraqis no milk no clean water no power no spare parts a siege by the Americans for thirteen years
Always you people, once again butthurt that Arabs are not the center of the world’s attention. When the Iraq war was happening, Al Jazeera did plenty of reports about it including reporting on American war crimes. I remember watching those videos on YouTube. Now something else happens “but oh what about Iraq and Palestine and…and…Kashmir?”
@mudshovel289 we not talking about the media coverage of the war do not twist the comment ! We are talking about the killing of the innocent people under false and fabricated reasons by the USA qnd their allies including the Ukrainians and the double standards that happening during this conflict qnd mentioning words like security Council and the U.N. and the international law which they didn’t and wasn’t applied to the Iraqis case and or the Afghanis or the Palestinians for over 70 years
The whole world stands watching this tragedy .
Thank you NATO for fooling Ukraine.
Because of the nukes Russia could start the invasion without fearing any outside intervention and then again because of the nukes, the USA and the west can not enter the war to help Ukraine more.
I am not a fan of Russia. Not at all. But the first person to blame is the Ukrainian President. Why did he insist to join NATO? What’s the benefit? As long as your people life peacefully, join NATO or not is not important.
He wanted to join NATO to prevent, whats happning now. So to think of your fellow country men safety if not importent ?
It’s more than heartrendering…
syria destroyed by US bomb. and, Ukraine destroyed by Russian bomb
Such is the result of Nato’s relentless expansion into the East. NATO is driving Russia crazy.
Biden is arming Neo-Nazis in Ukraine and prolonging the war there .He is not a man of peace but a bird of prey .
It’s very painful, but I’ve been watching such scenes for years
Why should people of colors should care about the white people suffering? While they don’t care about non-white people like rejecting non-European refugees, with various insults too. The non-native people can’t leave Ukraine easily as well because Ukrainians (white people) have to leave FIRST. So let the west takes care of Ukraine themselves, non-westerners “care” won’t be reciprocated anyway
This war has been going on for 8 years, yet the focus is just on the last 3 weeks.
Yes, very sad.
How did Finland break a peace deal with USSR?
The Ukrainians need to have a number of Iron Domes as they have in Isreal in the short term while they are trying to get fighter jets from the US…if that will even happen? Secondly, Putin needs to be dealt with by the Russian government as in taking him out. This bitter old man has no conscience about killing defenseless women, the elderly, and children. This is not a war…it’s a slaughter of defenseless people. Absolutely disgusting: I can barely think of anything else and I am in Canada.
Take Putin out of this Slaughter he is Causing
A child in Ukraine said it best:
“Putin is just a selfish old man who is not allowing children to grow up and have their life”
Ukrainian leaders are also responsible for this disaster. All started in 2013 and it’s tough to stop this
by doing what ?
Diss information. You all talk about. Is just that. Propaganda and lie is just that. It is only what you all say and show. Any rational person can see the balance that is only 1 way.
I do not here notthing but 1 way.or so called truth. So I do not get behind this wave. You shut 🇷🇺 out all 2geather. So stop talking about this. It is only your way and no other. Disinformation. Was I born yesterday
Again being bombarded by 1 way. And if I disagree I guess I am evil. You all make my stomach turn.
Where is a free mind. Not listening 2 this wave of bias my way or no way. Putin is doing what he believes is right 4 his country. Like many before during and after. I do not condone war ivcource. I actually vnderstand why. And if I speak out. I will be outcast. So be it NATO has provoked this and for decades has esculated this. And now it is.
Ukrainian Army trying to hide between Civillian. Those coward Nazis…
they have no chance if not hiding behind a human shield.
Russian bullet will fire to any place, any person with a weapon.
Sadness. But let’s see the end. Strong enough as nation… Such as Afganistan, Vietnam, Syiria etc……..
When you insert videos, you must find out if the video is fake or not. Also, the military forces of Ukraine, who do not care about civilians, are also shooting at cities.
I am a big fan of Al Jazeera, but these episodes where you explain things are bar none my favorite. Ukraine I already had a decent grasp on, but there have been times where an event happens with countries I am less familiar with, or where I was busy, did not watch the news for a few weeks,then find I am way behind on a major event. This series helps me feel less lost.
Discussions in relation to another seaport for Russia on Chinese territory between Russia and China two years ago did not come to anything. Now Putin’s demands of Crimea being annexed to Russia and the cutting away of two other sections of east Ukraine is obvious. These two areas Putin has recognised as divided from Ukraine, the area of the separatists previously aided by Russia in their resistance and civil unrest with Ukraine, areas that aid in access to Crimea and another much needed Russian sea port gives Putin what he wants. So Putin has illegally invaded Ukraine, destroyed and murdered his way to Kyiv only to demand what he was after all the long. The threat now after what Putin did in Syria is chemical warfare. So Putin will no doubt get what he wanted all the long. Time to wake up folks, snap out of the propaganda fog and see what is really going on.
It’s called *WAR* and in war anything can happen.
260 in West and you guyz are weeping like btchs…. What about millions in Iraq and Afghanistan Syria…
The Russian legacy.
Ukrainian will suffer while zelenskyy and his family enjoying lavish lifestyle in US.
In future.
why would you think that ?
What a biased and strange way to interpret this war…are you dumbo🤡?
Because of Ukraine president
very sad Ukrainian,Palestinian,iraq
Ukraine must know,
What you sow what you reap.
what did they do that so bad that any one has the right to destroy the county ?
The “cause” is Joe Biden, and the “effect” is Ukreine War..
Zelinsky can stop this right now, and save Ukrainian lives. He can’t win anyway . Ask to surrender
It’s as simple as A, B, C / 1,2,3…
Either support the invaders (Zionists, Russians, Saudi Arabia, etc etc)…
OR…
Support the victims (Ukraines, Palestinians, Yemenis, etc)…
U can’t support 1 side and then exactly support the opposite side…
U can’t bake ur cake, eat it, clean after urself, and wash ur hands…
Comprenda
Zelenky president of Ukraine is responsible for killings.Why he is making scape goat of his own infants,week people. Even after he knows his limitations he is on war with Powerful Russia.Why Putin cares Ukrainian people,He is same like bitter enemy.Zelenky should feel pain about his own peoples and immediately stop challenging WORST PUTIN.CAN ANYONE MAKE HIM TO UNDERSTAND THE FACT PLEASE ?
Peace doesn’t mean you can do everything
This is Putins war & he will someday soon pay the price. Sooner then he thinks. Let’s all hope it’s today or tomorrow at the latest he is forced out of power & he’s on trial for crimes against humanity.
Please Written Subtitle in English we are students
And all zelenskyy had to do to stop all this was be a nuteral country not join nato an stop killing Russians in the east, not much to ask
খ্রিষ্টান হলে কান্না মুসলিম হলে হাসি এই জাতিসংঘের কাম
i think people are used to seeing on the news people’s home being bombed day and night in Syria,Iraq,Yemen and basically muslim countries yet no one stood for them. So does it mean that angels are living in Ukraine while devils are living in other war torn countries?????
Why do you want continuous support warfare against humanity like this 🗣please stop 🛑war.
As always….excellent reporting. Thank you.
Why don’t you mention about the other side of the war in lugansk and donestk who have been under fire for eight years
Years ago at the behest of U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Their agenda was quite different — to remove a dictator, Saddam Hussein, whose regime was abhorrent.
The only way around this predicament was for the Bush-Blair axis to fabricate a case of threat. This they did by the knowing manipulation of flawed intelligence about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (which were never found), and the bogus claim that Saddam Hussein could deploy such WMD within a 45-minute window.
They used cluster bombs and depleted uranium in Iraq by coalition forces (euphemistically called collateral damage) .
Without accountability for Western states, how can we expect the rest of world to respect these principles?
Start Here Madam 👍👍👍
We are against the war and you should make video on kashmiri people situation.

cool
My heart pours out to Ukrainians affected. The only solution is for “a clown” Zelensky to give up and get on the negotiating table.
