#Russia #Ukraine #Odesa
🇺🇲🇺🇦💚✌️
Probably a withdrawal so they can use chemical weapons.
West is just playing Ukraine as heros .
You guys should stop suggesting tactics of war to russia of what they have to do to defeat Ukraine in the name of analysing the war..
SO do you miss TRUMP YET!!!!
You cannot sit there and just offer condolences to Ukraine. And the United States, NATO and every other democracy around the world needs to unite and end this once and for all. Forget NATO. Stop being so bureaucratic and procedural. Delays, delays, delays. The help the democratic world has offered to this point is embarrassing.
Ukraine is a country on the road to Democracy, and a freedom loving country. They are your brothers and sisters like no other. Under God we are all people together on this earth. Humanity has a responsibility to end the evil of Russia’s aggression. Take the titles of organizations out of the picture. Come together, at one of Russia’s weakest moments and solve this problem. Else, all the leadership that the world has is useless. You serve no purpose, if you can act when the world needs it.
This invasion should be reversed all the way back to Moscow, and not only Ukraine’s responsibility. It is a democracy responsibility. Take this all the way back to Putin’s doorstep and his military. The Democratic world has the means to see this never happens again. Just trying to convince Putin to stop with sanctions is not enough. If, you succeeded, it would only put Russia back in their box for a while. Once again, in our generation, or your children’s generation would have to deal with genocide AGAIN.
There needs to be a D-Day in Europe with every democratic nation to clear this up once and for all. A successful campaign in Russia would have China stand up and notice. I doubt China would be so aggressive to take on the world. If Europe and the United States fail to take this opportunity, there will be a much tougher and stronger alliance with the minimum of China, and Russia as partners, and other nations that would join them.
The weapons of the world are getting more destructive with each year. We have an opportunity right now in the weakness of Putin’s military and lack of equipment, and parts. Much of their equipment has been destroyed in Ukraine, and they have few parts to make their other equipment work. There is no greater time to hold Russia accountable to the world. In spite of all the war crimes, there will be little directly the world can do, even if there are court trials. They represent formal objections, which will lead to minimal punishment.
In a world 200 – 300 years ago I could understand the barbaric aggression of nation’s armies. But today, I fail to understand why the world stands by and watches this happen. There should be “ZERO TOLERANCE” for any nation to invade in a destructive manor as the Russians are doing. The world alliance needs to stand up and act like a swat team that stops this aggression and forbid any nation to invade another. I can’t believe all Democratic nations don’t have the power together to stomp this fire out.
I watch every day, how Ukraines people struggle to fight against Russia, all alone. Equipment is not enough. We need “Solidarity!” If the free world does not act, it is just a matter of time before all free countries are lost.
Russian withdraw after destroyed everything and let Ukraine army clean this mess. They’re main target is Donbas. They just distraction Ukraine Army.
Show weakness when you strong.(-art of the war)
Don’t worry Ukrainian the US is going to send its most deadly warrior ,Emma with the two moms
Lol
Браво. Респект из България.
Good analysis. Putin is running out of soldiers willing to die for him.
Russia is an evil state that needs to be dismantled, and free all the Russian colonies in Asia. Send Putin to the criminal court in The Hague just like Charles Taylor and Slobodan Milosevic
So this is Putin’s idea of liberating the Ukrainians from Nazism ?
Yeah doesn’t look too good. Almost as if that was a falsified excuse
What if the Russian withdrawl is a preparation for a nuclear attack on Kiev?
I hope not. That will draw NATO in if Russia resorts to Nukes
My prayers to UKRAINIAN citizens
US, may almighty God give UKRAINE powerful in Jesus name Amen
Trump had all those top secret records at his house why has he not been arrested? Are everyone stupid or on Trump pay.
Trump is Putins buddy. He wanted sale the top secret to Putin. I m not that smart but if I see it .
Do you proof? Or r u just another blind conspiracy theorist?
Trump is a trader. He doesn’t care about the January 6.people. he well distance him self from those people.
I mean he does trade. So I guess he is a trader. 😂
I think he should be in jail or is he thar Boss. That make everyone a trader to. If you do nothing. We well have more like him.
Trump has to be arrested. To give back the power to the law. Or you are helping Trump. Brake the law.
Ur not making any sense at all buddy
If idid what he did I would be in jail. That true. Well it show Trump is above the law . Trump is the law.
Ur seriously going on about Trump in a video that has nothing to do with him? GTFO. 😂
Scared people should not run this country. It’s the gays .that’s why God stop blessing America. Because you bow down to gays.
Warning. God has stop blessing America. You know why.
Really why?
I hope the withdrawal is not because they are going to use chemical or nuclear weapons.
A WAR WITH RUSSIA WITHOUT ANY CLEAR PROOF OF ATROCITIES.. WE SAW THIS EXACT SCENARIO TIME AND TIME AGAIN IN BOSNIA AND SERBIA ONE SIDE CONSTANTLY BLAMING THE OTHER FOR ATROCITIES.. WHEN THEY ALL BATTLE DRESS EXACTLY THE SAME.. DRIVE THE EXACT SAME ARMOUR.. FIRE THE EXACT SAME GUNS.. TRY DIFFERENTIATE THE SIDES… AS FOUND IN FORMER YUGOSLAVIA IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE..OFTEN THEY CHANGED SIDES ON A DAILY BASIS TO CARRY OUT REVENGE ATTACKS ON FAMILIES THEY HAD A GRUDGE WITH BEFORE THE WAR BEGUN AND USUALLY OVER FARMING LAND RIGHTS BASED..
BE CAREFUL TO JUDGE THIS SITUATION.. ITS NOT CLEAR CUT WHO IS KILLING WHO..
There will be no nuclear. If it comes to that the US will enter the war.

Oops. When zooming in on Odessa, next/west to Moldova “Poland” was written. In reality Romania is located there. Poland is not a neighbouring conuntry of Moldova, Ukraine lies between them.

To nuke them
He has been playing everyone since the beggining
Why don’t you call Vlad and tell him how to win this war. wanting to gives the latest news doesn’t mean giving out helpful hints. I am disgusted with the media.
They could just nuke it and get it over with.
מלחמת רוסיה-אוקראינה: מלבד תפילה אין מה לתת
גילויי השנאה בין הרוסים לאוקראינים – שני עמים קרובים שחיו זה לצד זה לאורך ההיסטוריה. מצער לראות איך הגורל מסתובב, ושוב אנחנו נקלעים למלחמה.
המלחמה הזאת הרבה יותר עמוקה מכיבוש שטח כזה או אחר, היא על כבוד ושליטה. הצורך הטבעי הזה, לצד שאר הדחפים והאינטרסים הגלויים והסמויים שיש בכל העמים, נובע מיצר הרע שלנו, מהאגו האנושי שגובר בכל עם ואדם; אגו דורש את טובתו על חשבון האחרים, גם במחיר דמים.
ככל שהרצונות למשול ולנצח יתגברו בכל אחד מן הצדדים, נהיה צפויים לראות כיצד המלחמה הזאת היא רק יריית הפתיחה לעידן של מלחמות, קטנות וגדולות, בין עמים שונים. אם מדינות קרובות אחת לשנייה אינן יכולות להגיע להסכם ביניהן, אז על אחת כמה וכמה מדינות שיש ביניהן הבדלים גדולים וסכסוכים קדומים עשויות להיקלע בקלות למלחמה בלי סיבה מוצדקת לכאורה.
תיבת הפנדורה נפתחה. תכף יקומו ממקום רבצן שאר המדינות: היפנים שידרשו את חלקם, הפינים והארצות הבלטיות שיבואו בטענות, גרמניה עם מחוז קלינינגרד שהשתייך לה עד 1945, וכל המדינות הממוקמות דרומית לרוסיה, עד אוזבקיסטן וטג’יקיסטן.
האזור כולו נכנס למצב מסוכן, ואוקראינה כנקודת התפר תהפוך לפצע מדמם גם עבור רוסיה וגם עבור אירופה, פצע שלא יגליד במהרה. אין הרבה מה לעשות כשהאבן הגדולה מידרדרת במהירות במורד ההר. המקסימום הוא לייחל לשלום ולהפסקת אש; להרבות ולדבר על כך שכל הצדדים יפגינו איפוק, יגלו חכמה כמו האינדיאנים הוותיקים שקברו את הגרזן במעמקי האדמה ועישנו יחד מקטרת של שלום.
מעל כוחות האיבה, מעל האגו שמסכסך וגורר למלחמה, אנחנו יכולים רק להעלות תפילה עולמית לשלום. לבקש שנוכל להתקשר ולהתקרב יפה בין כולם. כי רק בכוח החיבור ובצירוף הלבבות זה לזה, מתעורר כוח חיובי גדול, כוח עליון שמתקן הכול ומכסה על כל הפשעים באהבה.
הרב”ש כתב “כשאני מסתכל על הכלל כולו, אני רואה ייסורי הפרט, מחלות ומכאובים, וייסורי הפרט מהכלל כולו, היינו מלחמות בין העמים. ומלבד תפילה אין מה לתת” (“אהבת הזולת”). גם אנחנו צריכים להתפלל יחד לכוח העליון, שייתן לכולנו את השכל להבין שבכוח הזרוע אי-אפשר להשיג דבר. שייתן לנו רגש נכון זה כלפי זה, שיפתח בנו נטיות טובות לזולת, שיקרב בינינו להרגיש כמשפחה אחת.
נבקש מהכוח העליון שישלים בין כל הצדדים, שיפייס בין השונאים, שיעורר בכולנו את האמת, שכולנו שייכים לנשמה אחת.
Stop the invasion and killings of civilians in this country. Putin has no right to decide he wants to take over any other country! We are actually watching this loss of innocents day by day. Think! When he is done! Forty four million people lived in this country. Who comes next? He won’t stop! We need to save these people now less we will see so much more loss of life and willful destruction of this country! Because of the news coverage the world actually sees war and the horror of it! – stop this now and get food and aid in NOW!
Estos montajes realizados por los nazis ucranianos, tienen como fin iniciar un genocidio contra el pueblo ruso. Convertir a Rusia en un paria acusándola de crímenes de guerra , Hoy el régimen ucraniano tiene carta abierta para cualquier crimen atroz
Las tropas rusas se retiraron el 30 de Marzo y en videos de la policía ucraniana no se observaron cuerpos tirados en las calles.
Russia clearly isn’t very capable.
Real analysis! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ32cntgP_8&t=24s
Russia is an evil empire -Ronald Reagan 1983
@2:09 east of moldova lies ROMANIA, not POLAND!!!!
jesus christ, who put this map together?
MAN this is embarrassing
Make no mistake Ukrainians (civilians, military etc) are fighting FOR the right of the USA military to have missiles pointed at Russia right on their border… THATS what theyre fighting for. Just clearing up any misconceptions that the media has been putting in your head
No they’re fighting to survive an attack
@KG but thats why they are having to survive an attack in the first place
The YT race is cancer to humanity
Well, if the US is really sooooo concerned about international law, why is it NOT supporting the Haag international court, like almost all other “respectable” countries in the world has? Also, why is it NOT joining almost all other democratic countries in the world in ratifying even the most basic international rules concerning weapon sales… Why is it in the same small “league” of nations, together with Russia, China and Israel who don’t seem believe in these types of laws, if they have to apply to themselves? Perhaps if the US acted just a tad bit less unilaterally, it would give some credence to its otherwise one-eyed view of international justice.
Plus Interpol doesn’t have jurisdiction in the US apparently, which is just ridiculous.
This is why us in Europe have been so ashamed of the US system for such a long time.
@Daniel Whyatt because we have the FBI who is better at their jobs than interpol
Russia is pulling back from Kyiv so they can clean and repaint what equipment they have left for their May Day parade next month.
Now can you imagine Russia trying to take over a NATO territory? It would be an atrocious failure
This is because Russia does not go 100℅on Ukraine because they are same.if russians fight nato ,you will feel what Russia is capable of,,rocket launchers,missiles,supersonic,cruise missiles,will be their biggest assets,
Biden can attack Chechnya for aiding Russia! Why isn’t he doing it?
Prayers for Ukraine!!
I really hope the Ukrainians get a missile that is non nuclear but has the range to hit Putin’s house & the Kremlin as well 😊
“Let the men of pride be shamed; because they have falsely given decision against me” – Bible.🇺🇦 🇧🇷
Don’t underestimate the Russians and their combat experience, especially when you couldn’t even handle poorly equipped militants and sheepherders in Iraq and Afghanistan after 21 wasted years.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvN9pjSezCM …a word about reality
The only winner of this war is west Russia and Ukraine are just redusing each others strength !

Continue attacking Russian soil, you will see a Putin squeal like a pig. Congratulations. Hopefully on Russian soil soon, leverage for your reparations and NATO investment
Putin doesn’t want to destroy Odessa because that is where Catherine the great resided and Putin essentially adored what Catherine did in her life…
Most of the news are fake
They withdraw in the north because of the radiation.who knows how many russian soldiers are suffering now coz of radiation in chernobyl?sure russia will never tell about this.if they stay there,they will die.they russian soldiers dont know how to combat radiation and w/o knowing,they are giving the radiation dusts to their fellow soldiers and who knows if they also develop in their bodies a special transmitted virus through the radiation.
I think the war is over now, they made there deal but just not telling us,my opinion is russia gets Crimea and the dumas, and they end there operations.
Lol the US was build on genocide and now they judge others. Only in a neo liberal world view one can forget the past. Hypocrite at its best
retreating? they just REGROUPING at BLRS border and waiting for the weather to get warmer so they dont keep losing legs to frostbites

Odessa witch even today have big ethnic russian majority was called Southern Capital during Russian empire times. Communist just give it to newly created Ukraine.
They’re probably withdrawing because something fast and VERY POWERFUL is coming from the sky.
Nato special forces are destroying russia 🇷🇺 🤫 it ukraine 🇺🇦 really
Secretary of Defense
Ask Russia to join the EU and NATO and the war would be over in a second. Just joking, there are no profits in the word peace.
I’m still shocked this news network is still operating after six years of non-stop lying and advocating
The Russians are even leaving their own soldiers behind and we know this because MSNBC was there an underground with a half a helmet to protect their half a brain🤣… tell us more about the laptop that doesn’t exist
2:02 I believe that’s not Poland on the map but Romania.
#UKRAINE VICTORY FOREVER !!!!
May the Mother of Jesus, together with all Ukrainian saints, holy Jewish men and women and First Testament Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos etc) intercede with God to bring an end to Putin’s terrible evil rampage into Ukraine. May NATO come out of its slumber and offer genuine help to achieve this – no-fly zones, military equipment, fighter jets etc
That weakness for a fake super power so call Russia is front in lmfao
Maybe they reatreat for a reason maybe they are preparing to nuc Ukraine
