Inside Russia, the narrative around the “war” is changing. The pro-war Putin-faithful are grappling with defeats they never expected and generals are taking the flak from public figures, loyalists on state TV channels, and even military bloggers.

On our radar:
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei finally broke his silence on the protests that have shaken the country for weeks. Producer Flo Phillips analyses Khamenei’s speech – key parts of which he also tweeted – and the repercussions it has had at home and abroad.
Russia: National myths and rewriting history:
Last year, the Kremlin published an essay – in Vladimir Putin’s name – arguing that Russians and Ukrainians are of the same Slavic nation. This new historical discourse has been key in the narrative built around the invasion of Ukraine. Producer Tariq Nafi looks into the battle over historical memory in Russia.

to all russian soldier, point your wepon into your leaders and shut , make an oprice, now!
The answer for the Russian military, is simply to get rid of Putin , and move quickly out of Ukraine , and the criticism of the military will stop.
There are a lot of PUTIN SUCK BUDDIES in Russia media.
Z Bought a luxury oceanside estate is Florida .along with his other mansion in Connecticut
all our training all our air defense cant stop thousands missile , when nuclear battery fire wont be MOVIE scenario be hundreds at a time, hundreds only take 300 to wipe out west seaboard , scenario is played out a pentagon , called little death , big death, big death is day after if enemy either side launches again 300 more set to launch , GET REAL WILL YOU,
This is exactly what happened to Hitler.
HYPER launched rocket , radar sees that rocket 400 miles further LATENCY of radar that inaccurate , get real , theres huge advantage to hyper rockets planes cant catch UFO , think
WW3 will cause earth to be destroyed. Alien intervention will occur if ww3 starts and most humans will be wiped out if they have to interfere. They will use ………………….to prevent the plant and animal life from being destroyed. They have done this in the past. Low level humans will not be allowed to destroy this plant and cause a chain reaction to other civilizations in the galaxy. If the humans dont rise up to the dictators they will all perish. The humans are willing to die and fight a terrorist group far away but not the terrorist in there own homeland? wake up!.!!
Iran is a hopeless place….it is a wasted civilization!
the Russian military is a disgrace…. Weakened by corrupt generals… It has no right being discussed or rated as an efficient military organisation… what an embarrassment
Stop the propaganda lies.
You don’t criticise the Tsar but the people who work for him… In Germany people once used to say: “If the Führer would know this…” You can be sure, the Führer, the Tsar and the governments DID/DO KNOW what’s going on and usually approve of it.
Lies, lies, always lies…. I understand if outlets like CNN, BBC, AFP etc. lie and spread the west’s agenda, but a media outlet which originated in the Middle Esat and thought to represent the middle eastern views??… so disgusting and disappointing!!!…
LOL. Lets put a camera on…. THE CAMERA!
Russia has a terrible history or constantly trying to erase its history.
Maybe the Russians believe they are immune from retribution if they use the “Nuclear Option.” No one wins even if just one nuclear weapon is used! Hopefully the Russian Military will realize that their nation and people are at risk and will take action and remove Putin and his warmongers before it’s too late! I believe sanity in the military will prevail! The human toll is too frightening to even think about! Remember the winds blow in many directions.
The United States senate need to take the step to call Russia out for what they are!! A terrorist organization!! Putin is the textbook definition of a terrorist!!!
Why would we need to bomb Ukraine or Germany?
There’s Great Britain. The root of all evil.
Never laughed more loudly before 🙂 9:58
Your news are all lies
U can be sure the war has started when every main stream western channel is anti Russian propaganda. Lets see if the Russians denazify Europe again.
Funny to see the level of delusion in both Putin and Iran dictators. They should be lovers, only they can understand each other
The reason why the Russian media is turning against its military is because that’s Putin’s orders he’s making the military look weak in order to save face which is colossally stupid considering he’s the one in charge of the military but then again dictators are not known for common sense they generally destroy their strength before the fight even begins
The media is the enemy of every country.
and lets not forget that the USSR attacked Poland in the back one week after the Germans attacked, and divided up the country as previously decided, then they went on to concuer the Baltic states and Moldavia. The only reason Great Brittain did not declare war against Stalin as per their defence alliance with Poland, was that they did not feel they could stage a two front war.
I hope there are records saved online of the archives of Memorial.
Leftist Politicians: wage war against Russia and discus Russia’s corruption
Same Leftist Politicians: trying to force teh same corruption and communism on the Western world
Khamenei is like a jealous lover who thinks that because someone celebrates your breakup that they arranged it. No, they just know your ex can do better.
Has putins war moved from the Ukraine to Moscow now ? How many Russian army and navy personel been murdered by Putin ?
Is this a revolution in russia behind closed doors?
I spent a month in Russia in the late 80’s before the fall. For a bunch of kds, the tours included about 10 stops at various war memorials. 30+ years later, that’s all they still have to see as source of pride. Of course, the truth is that Russia didn’t “win” WWII, they merely survived as a member of the winning side. They certainly would not have done so with the US in the war and I suspect that even if Russia had stayed out of the war, not much would have chanced except that the war may have lasted a couple months longer.
The facts keep changing so quickly they don’t know what lies they need to go with now😂
Russia and China is the weirdest country. Both see west as enemy, yet most of their citizen love western living style. The citizens embrace capitalism and prosperity but the moment it comes to “nationalism” then western countries are the enemies. Just get on with the program already. 2022. No one wants to die for Putin’s or Xi’s person agenda.
A
You need to have 1 topic at a time. Do not mix and match. 1 show on Russia and a separate show on Iran
Great Britain the root of all evil 🤣 idiot
“We must realise that no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and woman, it is a weapon that adversaries who prey on their neighbours do not have.” Ronald Reagan 1981.
This news channel has been bought up by the west.
🤖 *Kremlin bot alert!* 🤖
@Real Aiglon its true caue Russia is bombarding Ukraine like crazy but they dont mention it.
A true horrifying disgrace for Russia. Especially during the 80 th anniversary of the epic defense and victory at Stalingrad.arguably the battle that won ww2……………..very very shamefully.
Oswald spengler had reason behaid of three Power hidden something, third world war. A iman talk against capitalism, it’s work Very strange.
*Cover one subject, then another.*
Russian killer invasor…
The Russian Armed Forces want all gloves off, Putin reluctant, and its bad. Kyiv & Lyiv must be levelled as US/NATO did to Iraq and Libya.
They waving the flags are like they shouted Z Z till their youth were forced into the reality of the war. And begun to flee from their own country .
Those u see waving the Russians flags will soon flee when nuclear war starts.
Don’t u know western media also controlled by govts. What to say or not to say…… All same lol
“Don’t blame the Tzar, blame the boyars.”
That’s all fun and dandy until you ask yourself who put those boyars in those positions.
THIS IS RUBBISH
Russian citizens wanted Putin to be killed.
Russian citizens tagged Putin as a Terrorist.
This should be an eye-opener to all the people on Earth that war must be stopped and avoided. Our mother earth is tremendously damaged. Instead, we have fight together against the climate change to prolong the existence of our beloved planet.
Because you are lieing
Stop the lies
And after 30 years of war in AFGANISTAN what did UK and NATO MILITARY ACCOMPLISH??
YOU TALKING TRASH MAN
20 years
@Noah Tyler Pritchett yes
20
U are paying attention
Good for you
It felt like 30 and forever
I was there
Not fun
The freedom for women and girls to work and receive an education
Putin has little man syndrome.
The usual western propaganda outlet. The only honest reporting is on Palestine, the rest follows the US propaganda!
In the absence of censorship he says. 🤣😅 I guess what he means is if they were censored they would not speak at all and would just nod affirmative every time a picture of Putin appeared.
Why does it not occur to the Russian people that Ukraine has not attacked back at them?
Putin can’t keep the world from talking about anything, Putin’s failure.
Iran says the women will get tired of this and the women lack leadership
This channel is much better then fake communist fox propaganda….
KGB = new Russian mafia is now the head of state for the last 30 years
I get more joy seeing Russia come apart at the seams than anything else at this point. When someone finally gets out a huge can of rodent spray and puts a stop to the infestation, they will party in the Streets of Moscow. It will be a glorious day when this POS fat faced baby killer wets himself as he is cornered like a rat. This posse, this coward, this useless idiot has a date with fate, and I will experience so much joy watching the people of Russia as they sigh in relief and the people of Ukraine cheer. And then, the world will be a better place. That dwarf piece of chit will gasp, cry like the coward he is, and the pent up energy that so many people who are normal and sane but who have been forced into having feelings of pure hate for this pure evil being will eventually be able to go back to normal. And the nonsense that finds otherwise smart people justifying this, all be it just a few, it is a few too many, say that Putin has a valid reason for this, all they need to do is look at the fact that he is a criminal who has taken the wealth of Russia and put it in his own pocket and he has associated anyone who dare tell the truth about him.
The guest who talked about the normalization of the talk of nukes is correct. This must end. As must Putin himself.
Is there Russian subtitles available for these videos?
only insanity makes insane statements
20:27 You can say you gave freedom to other nations all you like, it won’t make it true and you very simply did not. We already had freedom and those other nations mostly fought and died for freedom just the same. So I say bullshit you gave us freedom
WHAT A DIFFERENCE LESS THAN A YEAR MAKES: Usually, the term goes, What a difference a year makes but in the case of Putin’s insane invasion of Ukraine, it has been less than a year. As of this writing, it’s been less than 8 months since this madness was started by the depraved and brutal dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
In less than 8 months, tens of thousands of people have been slaughtered in the Ukraine at the hands of Putin’s soldiers, although many, many Russian soldiers have also felt the sting of death. In less than 8 months, it is obvious Putin is losing this war he started for no other reason than his own paranoia got the better of him. In less than 8 months, he has managed to drag Russia downward into a hopeless spiral of doom while threatening NATO countries with nuclear war.
These are the acts of a lunatic. Hitler was not seen to be a lunatic by Germans until it was much too late in the second world war. Too late to save Germany from the ruin Hitler’s decisions cost them. Too late to realize this maniac in a uniform was just that, a maniac. Like Putin is. A maniac in a suit with a powerful title of president. But it is a temporary title for already the dye has been cast against Putin and his reign of terror. He is fast running out of time.
The dye has been cast against Putin. His actions have been weighed in the balance and he has been found wanting in arrears and lacking of good judgement. And in the place of good judgement, Putin is guilty of having horrendous judgement. He is a political deviant and a devil and mass murderer. Not the kind of despot Russians want to represent them. He is deserving of death, nothing less.
But it will take the actions of brave men, good men, of Russia, to finally and permanently rid the world of Putin, to pull him out like a weed, like the cancer he is. This can only be done by assassination. And the overthrow of his regime so that a new, greater and free Russia emerges from the chaos Putin has left behind in his wake.
The only thing that need happen for Putin to remain in power and turn Russia into a nuclear wasteland is for good Russians to do nothing at all and let him continue bringing ruin on Russia and perhaps starting a world war to satisfy his demented ego. Putin will remain in power as long good Russians lack the courage and bravery to overthrow this despicable man forever and put an end to his reign of terror.
Bullshit.
Censorship is lying. Lying by omission is still lying.
Yeah no one else had anything to do with the winning of WWII.
I bet Putin himself stormed the Reichstag & planted big red.
I dont like poohtin he has eyes of a pig
Maybe Sovjet would have lost if usa havent help with weapons plans food ammo trucks and if i remember right they Got some thing like 300.000 trucks and 20.000 planes
PUTIN—-What an absolute NON-ENTITY—-A MOUTH THAT SPEWS FORTH GARBAGE 24/7.
Before Too Long UKRAINE WILL TAKE ITS PLACE IN NATO.
PUTIN WILL BE DRIVEN OUT OF UKRAINE——ALL OF UKRAINE.
Russian Society will Deal with PUTIN “FIRMLY” once the Truth about the NUMBER OF FATALITIES IN RUSSIAN ARMED FORCES is TRUTHFULLY EXPOSED—-67,000 PLUS in 7 Months.
He is a Wretched Sadistic Child MURDERER who is Very Much on Borrowed Time.
Russia’s view of Ukraine:
‘Cet animal est très méchant. Quand on l’attaque, il se défend.”
20:40 It should be noted that in the west the visit of Reginald Drax in Moscow is never mentioned. Drax tried to file a pact with the Soviets to crush the Germans.
Three days after Draxs departure, in response, Ribbentrop flew to Moscow and sadly filed a pact.
No Drax visit, no Ribbentrop visit, no M/R packt, no attack on Poland and therefore no WWII.
It was the Fnglish that orchestrated WWII !
it’s odd to realize we had the same BS with Trump: NO ONE in the repub party was allowed to criticize him… EVER. For ANYTHING he screwed up (which was a LOT!). Instead, conservatives piled scorn on whomever Trump blamed for his own massive failings as a leader. We Americans watched one talented general, CEO, or dept head after another got sacked and dismissed, their decades-long careers of service ruined forever. Rex Tillerson was one of our brightest CEOs, LITERALLY a MENSA member, and brought the Boy Scouts of America back from the scandal-ridden years…canned when Trump’s trade war with China failed. Our FBI Director, who had been described as “the most eloquent, loyal, and competent leader of the FBI in history… canned when he refused to stand by Trump’s attempt to blackmail the Ukrainian president into manufacturing “evidence” against the Biden family… canned. $ top Army and Marine Corps generals: all canned. Gen Mad Dog Mattis, DoD chief, after refusing to remain quiet about Trump throwing our allies the Kurds to the Muslim Turks to butcher: resigned before Trump could can him. Birds of a freakin’ feather, yo.
The lies are starting to catch up with them as the truth always does. It’s one thing to lie to the outside world, it’s quite another to lie to yourself. The only reason why the failings of the Russian military wasn’t exposed a long time ago was because it hadn’t really been involved in full spectrum warfare since the war in Afghanistan of the 80’s. In Syria for example, most of the ground fighting was done by Syrian forces along with Russian mercs. It was mainly a bombing campaign from Russia’s side. There was Chechnya but again, it was a fairly low level conflict and even then, Russia performed badly in the first war (hence the need for a second one) it’s just that there was no social media back then and so much of it didn’t come to light until years later
Maybe it’s time to liberate Russia 😎
8:36 Maybe Putin should call his troops back and start with the denazification of his own country. I’m pretty sure his military would be way more efficient in achieving their “official goals” of their “special operation” that way.
Yeah right.
Fight on Ukraine!!!
Glory to Russia!👍The most powerful in the world!
We need the Russian people who are free thinkers and unchained mentally from putin to make a stand and defy the man child with a dangerous ego.
As a former news editor who has begun subscribing to Al Jazeera after a while away, I find the camera shot behind the studio cameraman silly and distracting. You would pay one cameraman to film the other one working? Not clever, nonsensical and a waste of time and money.
All of the walks were good until he got to Putin’s he didn’t have enough arm swing 😂
I’m in awe of the effort and sacrifice the bravest of Russia’s men, and women, made when fighting in WW2. Bringing Russia back from the brink, the nation was on it’s knees and it still pushed back! To see what the “leaders” of the great nation have done with that freedom those men fought for is dispicable!
I love it when talking heads on television talk about “cowardice on the battlefield”. We used to see some of that during the Iraq War debate in the USA back in 2003.
We have our own problem with censorship here in the US
Religious leaders should not be part of any politics. They are acting like God. That is a big problem in the world ruled by religious leaders and dictators like Putin.
U.S. General Patton Jr. was right in 1945, he was relieved for making aggressive statements toward the Soviet Union. he died for it, and our leaders in the 90s let us down by not stepping in early to make sure they never got where we are today… back where we started…
If I were a Russian general I would look to get out of harms way before Putin needs another scapegoat.. or maybe just oof him
If the Russian people ever get the courage and I doubt they will to rise up… keep in mind who the propagandist are
Don’t worry, kids in the US are so retarded they will remake the USSR for Russia.
Russia can’t even field a military a tank or an airplane they’re gonna field nuclear weapons that require technology…. I doubt it…
Russia was never a superpower always a 3rd world country..
Rewrite of History, they did the same to Finland, same exact claim, same exact action and in a sense same outcome. (Sulk, Putin’s love of history is just so tragically flawed)
Putin is an egotistical despot. He thinks he will become a legend and hero in the history books. Unfortunately, if he continues on the path he is now on, there will be no one left living, to write or read his story.
Hershberger is living proof that the German sense of humor is stuck somewhere in the 3rd century.
Gotta find somebody to blame. They can’t blame Poo Tin.
It’s not the US,its called the world,Iran.
Without Stalin there would be 60 million more people alive today. Millions of family lines would still exist.
It’s true the root of the evel the last few centuries is in London while Washington is just the “young Idiot” trying to emancipate from time to time from its colonial superior capitals in W Europe!
It’s the same as China dictatorship, absolute control to keep power over the masses.
But here’s the thing, one stands up, it an extremist… one thousand, it’s a protest, 100 thousand, its a movement, 500 thousand its a coup, a million,…. you need to find a way to calm the public, multi million unrest…. your reign is over, you now painted a target on your back. It only took one angry citizen to snuff Japan’s possible next president, with a homemade firearm.
The Ukrainian army , the army which Putin wishes he commanded .
