Russia has announced plans to form 17 new divisions and a new army corps, restoring much of the military’s former Soviet glory, as it continues to wage a relentless battle for Ukraine’s eastern territories in the 43rd week of its war.

Didn’t you hear, Ukraine have taken over the church. Jesus got chased out of Ukraine.
You got it wrong God is on Putin’s side.
Propaganda mechine
Do you believ the propaganda telling you this only operation and not war? Or do you understand now that Putin lied to you?

@Craig Hughes why not?
Putler’s Worst Nightmare. PATRIOT MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM.
Scumbag Putin such a 🤡.
Knows absolutely nothing. Just 💩from the Russian 🐷
Haaaaahahahahah this is just another wonder weapon that will not only fail, but underperform like the other wonder game changing weapons that were meant to crush the russians. Who still remembers wonder weapons such as the M777S, HIMARS, JAVELINS, STINGERS, ANTI-SHIP MISSILE SYSTEMS, TANKS , JETS ETC. None talks about these wonder weapons anymore. Now it’s the patriot. My prediction is that when the Patriot fails as it did in Saudi Arabia, the next game changing wonder weapon will be satellites and nuclear weapons.
Bomb Kiev indiscriminately..
Hmm you wanted it short! But Ukraine has become a Little stone in your shoe resulting in problematic movement
It looks like this Ukraine war is going to drag for many years since Russia and Ukraine show no sign of giving way.
Russian is winning 🇷🇺🇷🇺☝️
atriots coming? We’re not scared but we’re going to move our assets far far away from them, maybe up in the artic to fight imaginary enemies. 🤡
YES, RUSSIANS ARE WINNERS OF DYING IN THE BATTLEFIELD !
someone is lieing to you, do you want proof?
Patriots is just a patriot still Russia is more power than it.🇷🇺🇷🇺☝️
The more they pushed russians in to the corner the more stronger it becomes its true patriotic missile cant even work in saudi arabia its old
I mean have you seen how inaccurate Russian missiles have been. Even during the beginning of the offensive they missed air ports.
Also strength are you sure have you seen Russian telegram and there own military bloggers. There own military supporters have been trying to raise red flags about Russian supply and training issues how is that getting stronger.
RUSSIAN TROLL !
What kind of reporting is this? Instead of updating viewers on what’s actually happening on the ground, this clown is going out of his way to propagandise everything for the sole purpose of making Ukraine look good & Russia bad. Sorry, that trick won’t work; not every viewer is as dumb as you assume
one sided report, where is the other side of the coin ?
Sometimes the coin only has one side and the other side is lying to you. Do you still believe ukraine is not war, only operation?🤡
We want freedom and democracy in the world. We support the freedom of Ukrain as well as that of Russia.
What do the people of the world think about Kashmir 🇵🇰 that is occupied by India 🇮🇳 forcefully.
@Muhammad Aftab We agreed on that. I’m sure most russians would be happier if they werent at war
@Álvaro Bro! Thanks.
I would like to ask you that you’re Ukrainian.
Kashmir is part of India
this would be the best time EVER for russians to now overthrow the putin terrorist regime completely
putin will blame USA on his own failures and terrorism. Off to the Gallows for him
putin has achieved the position of being the World’s stupidest poison dwarf.
“Relatively old system” 😂says the guy who digs holes 🤡
Patriot is junk 1970s tech man
good news
🤣🤣🤣🤣Ukrain is finish and polands next 😁😁😁😁
Lol no need, poland is drowning with millions of Ukrainian refugees. They are having a hard time because of it.
How is Ukraine SUCCESSFUL in the interception when it’s experiencing MASSIVE BLACKOUTS, Charles? You might as well claim to be rich but still have to sleep on the street.
YOU CANNOT THINK, THAT IS WHY !
@THE PILGRIM
Of course you’re the thinker. You’re the best. Ukraine is winning. They enjoy the dark. And the cold too.
They got their GUN and WEAPONS Ukraine and AMERICANS killing MERCHANT OF DEATH back…you know they gonna turn the destruction back up….this is what they been waiting for
“doesn’t work as well as our S-300” what a great system what happened at Ryazan and Saratov, your only lucky they don’t have a large stockpile. putin is a thug and should not be shown talking, because he only knows how to lie. And of course the USA is fighting a proxy war, just what putin did against Americans in Afghanistan, you don’t like it… get the f#@k out of Ukraine, thug.
Long live russia
Gloire à l’Ukraine, victoire à ce vaillant et courageux peuple !!!
🇺🇦 = ❤💪👍🌻🕊
🇷🇺 = 💩🚽👎🌵☠️
Patriot Junk,, an EASY target for HIPERSONIC MISSILE
So Putin isn’t receiving weapons from other countries paying Chechens to fight his war, and he has the audacity to talk about the United States yet he’s the one that is attacking a sovereign country that has done nothing to him
But bu but they were extemeley successful, why blackouts then?
Putin missed his calling as a comedian. He’s hilarious 😂
Putin left a “calling as a comedian “to Balinsky
Why are you projecting? Are you trying to be a comedian? 😂
Ukraine has the right to target and attack Russian civilians and private structures and facilities. ATTACK AND ATTACK WHERE IT HURTS PEOPE OF UKRAINE. Return all the nasty and brutality you are all receiving from Russians. THIS IS YOUR INHERENT RIGHT!
Ha ha what to defend now ha ha
defending against terrorist acts by putin is no laughing joke. he has murdered russians before, and would do it again.
Can anyone explain how Ukraine have been successful in bringing down Russia missiles ?
Its easy. They just use buildings to destroy Russian missiles 🤣🤣
USE MATH ! EXAMPLE: 60 MISSILES FIRED AT YOU, YOU ELIMINATED 55 MISSILES, MISSED 5 MISSILES. IT IS STILL A SUCCESS WITH YOUR RAGTAG MISSILES SYSTEM. IF YOU HAVE THE PATRIOT, IT CAN BE 99 TO 100% ELIMINATION OF MISSILES. SIMPLE MATH — I LEARNED IT IN KINDERGARTEN !
Special run away from ukraine operation.
Ukraine is specialized in downing 60 out of 40 fired cruise missile with rifles 😅
Right. 🤥. Just like Syria shoots down most of Israel’s missiles
That’s why coward Russians are running away.
Actually I would like the Patriot system deployed in Ukraine.
Then we can watch the Russian hypersonic missiles in action.
YES, THEN LET’S NUKE RUSSIA AND ERASE IT FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH !
@THE PILGRIM
Try.
When in 2019 the Houtis bombed a Saudi oil-processing facility inspite of the latter being “protected” by the Patriot systems, they demonstrated that Patriots were simply useless trash. Now gringos are sending this trash to Ukraine – poor people are those who believe this will help…
Putin is waiting for Ukrainians to say “ok we’ll be Russian’s now”… the Russians have the power to take every city but unless they permanently stay there on every street corner, it will never stay that way, the outcome is inevitable, Ukraine will never be Russia
Putler you got the solution in your hand just go back home💔☮️😢😔🙏
Ukraine is a Russian province
After Krematorsk and Slovyansk there’s no fortifications it’s open road all the way to Kiev.
😀 …
why even bother to report anything from putin since we all know its full with lies
The best offensive for Russia is to pulled back and watch the enemy freeze 🥶
lol yes…pull back to Russia.
@GoldenX not that far back
Ukraine is the best country in teaching how not to fight a war
@OutdoorAdventureGuy who’s making the law during war
@OutdoorAdventureGuy the losing Zelensky is throwing everything out of the kitchen
@OutdoorAdventureGuy “you seem to think targeting civilians is a good thing.”
*You’ve taken OP completely out of context. Well done.*
“Are you trying to say crimes are ok?”
*No, he is saying to go outside and touch grass, Mr. OutdoorAdventureGuy.*
“Kicked Russia out of Kyiv and all the way back” you say?
*Laughable, Kyiv was never the stated objective since the beginning. Anyone with two brain cells can see what’s going on by looking at the current battle map. You’ve swallowed too much disinformation and false narrative; Hence you’re here wallowing around.*
@OutdoorAdventureGuy how old are you talking like a kid Ukrainians don’t have nothing left they are back to stone age 🤣
@Amaking10000 exactly 🥶
Over saturation of immigrants in any country os going to cause trouble. This is welcomed by the Davos gang and many others. Ireland have thousands of people living on the street yet the Irish government insist on housing everyone else that comes here, legal and illegal. It is causing great resentment and anger. Given time Ireland too will explode
Putin 💪 💪 💪 can ask for 50.000 soilders from North corea to take out Ukrainian soldiers North have good crawling fighters
Patriot missile system is old system, if it was useful, it will have help Saudi & Emirate against huties in Yemen.Russia will destory old system using supersonic missile
SUPERSONIC — ALL BLUFF !
@THE PILGRIM how Patriots do in Iraq when Iran rained missiles on u.s base all night long?
you are wrong, putin is now crying the blues spreading more lies, you can tell he is concerned because his terrorism campaign is a flop and because putin is a terrorrist he knows his game is coming to an abrupt end soon
Air defence system? Ukraine have no electricity ffs
When the Profits are Removed from anything they stop.
Україна 🇺🇦🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾 లేటెస్ట్ న్యూస్ మీడియా ప్రతినిధులు పాల్గొన్నారు
Let’s not forget Russia put actual bounties on American soldiers heads …. They don’t like when someone does it back in ho
Negotiate peace ✌
GO RUSSIA GO, KICK THE west OUT OF YOUR HOUSE. 💯💪💪❤️
5 months to get the US missile defense system down by Ukraine’s military is a given but there are global mercenaries on Ukraine’s soil including the US that may cut that time down being familiar with US tech? Ukraine is on its last straw as witnessed by Z’s Washington visit IMO, the western media’s spin on what’s going on in Russia is what it is, one has but to watch Russian YouTube v loggers who are everyday folks and they haven’t felt any adverse reaction’s from western sanctions, on the contrary, it’s the other way around. Anyhow, American’s are living relatively well momentarily while the EU cuts back on their luxurious lifestyle, carry on
Patriarchs missiles will not be used this winter ( next two months) , unless Western military operate them ( which won’t happen), as it takes too long to train new operators to use them.
Russia sends it’s soldiers in to war ill trained, ill equipment & ill informed, the statements from any of the Kremlin / political elite are just like the beginning of this Military Operation (funny how when talking about the western allies it is a WAR but when talking about Russia involvement to Russian it is a military operation). Putin & his cronies cannot stop LYING (as starting to believe their lies / cheating people as been doing for so long).
It doesn’t work well but you are angry 😂😂😂😂
Putin saw the rift between US and Europe and the fault lines between European nations and thought it remain permanent but the reverse was true…..
The most idiotic government, they are happy to risk losing their country for Mc Donald’s.. what do they imagine in the future? Build up against Russia? Will Russia permit that? What is their goal? Do they have diplomacy or its interdicted by Sam? Incredible, I hope their population will do something until is not too late.. Incredible how they manage to ruin that country.. Sad!
Patriots are war tested and Putin is worried. He said the same thing about HIMARS.
Only wars can save US!!!
The war is over he ain’t expanding nothing he has good understanding
May your Christmas be filled with blood on your streets

Russia has lost 2 millions men, 3000 billions of trillions dollars. 50 000 Tanks, 1000 000 planes, 10099000 ships. Russia lost 5 years ago. Zelensky just got the okay from Biden, He’s marching Moscow with his army of the galaxy. Putin hs seeked assylum to Mexico
What a nightmare, and we did not know)))
Ukrain is not fighting a war …
It is performing ethnic cleansing and opponent cleansing in order to ensure survival of junta that came in power after illigal coup sponsored and organized by the west…
Most of what happening there is related to the survival of the about 5 million weastern ukranian radicals that took over the country of 40 million.
Russia will not expand the army if it can sustain the present rate of killing of ukranian army…
This war is not about land grab it is about making money through depleating ukrain to the last ukranian and destroying the industry of Europe.
It is self distructive for USA but the British put this trap to USA.
Who cares…Russian win or loose…no one cares…but sooner or later all these democratic states will vote out their leaders bec they want an end to this war
Russia is loosing with heavy casualty ,they are running out of a munitions then why is Ukraine crying in public for help ?
Go Russia 🇷🇺
RACIST ! FASCIST !
Russia is still toying with Ukraine, it took Russia 10 years to decide to level Grozny, don’t know how long will it take them this time to put Zelensky 🐕 out of business but Russia can do it anytime without nukes.
Absolutely true
100,000 Russian died at the hands of Ukrainians, Now Putin wants to expand his army and kill another 200,000 Russkis at the hands of Ukrainians 🤣😂
World Cup 2023 is Russia vs Ukraine? idk 🙉
With what exactly? Cavalery?
Why expanding Army when you have intercontinental nuclear missel that can be shut in Russia 🇷🇺 and hit the exact target in USA 🇺🇸
Use your Nuke and end this world .
Glory to Russia 🇷🇺 from Ukraine
How will they do that??? Deploy stray dogs???
Takes a 90 man Patriot battery almost a year of specialized training to become combat effective. It’s also very specific as to location defense. It’s for defending against SPECIFIC assets like airfields. I guess Ukraine will put them near power plants.
90 will be denied life insurance
russia is biggest military agressor since 1800. right now russia has all 14 signs of phashism. putler kaput! Slava Ukraine!
_”The United States has by far provided the most military assistance to Ukraine, More than every other country combined, The US House approved to help Ukraine with an additional $45 billion aid package; Meanwhile the Ukrainian regime is bombing civilian hospitals in Donetsk which is a war-crime, Funding war-crimes is a war-crime.”_ – *Antiwar*
You have to be a special type of stupid to be convinced that the people defending themselves are the problem and not the invaders. The invaded are forced to fight. The invaders can go home at any time and the war ends.
funding a country to defend itself against terrorism (terrorist putin) is NOT a crime, in fact it deserves an award.
💪🇷🇺💪🇺🇦
Ukraine war is about to stop, because Zelensky went to America ask for aid. President Biden would support this Zelensky is a bad choice, bad choice leads to defeat. Taiwan media said Zelensky and Biden both are the failures.
Survival mode for Ukraine while Putin uses mercenaries and prisoners in futile attempts to take ground, really as effective as the troops and materials Russia attempted to take Kyiv with. Russia still bombing Ukraine wherever and with what ever they can, Ukraine patching together gas and electric services and collecting the dead.
I can’t imagine what Biden and Zelinsky discussed, maybe there is a plan, I don’t think Patriots are it.
Perhaps just defending Ukraine until Russia expends itself is the strategy. I’d say it has become a stalemate at the expense of Ukraine because the West, Europe, the US don’t want to confront Putin and have no intention of doing so.
World War 3 is going on and once again we will wait and see and try to thrive on hope, we learned nothing from WW 2, there are many differences of course but the game is the same.
The so called second most powerful military in the world can’t even take a small city in Ukraine despite have 10x the weapons and twice as many people, what a truly pathetic army they turned out to be, Russia is humiliated and rightfully so, they are a joke who who is only capable of causing a lot of death & destruction to civilians.
putin is crying the blues, trying to fool the russian public with any reason he can think of to validate himself. Originally he thought he could steal Ukraine and overthrow Pres Zelensky, he failed to do so Then he blamed nazis, then he blamed world economic forum, then he blamed terrorists, then he blamed America, then he blamed NATO, then he blamed a proxy war, am I forgetting anyone else he blamed? He is deliberately spreading misinformation in his speeches, on rt website, on sputnik news, and other media. Truth is he is commiting terrorism against a nation and the world is helping Ukraine defend itself. putin is in a downward spiral and is now grasping at straws trying to convince russian civilization that what he was doing was justified and he is defending russia, however he is a pure terrorrist. Targeting civillians is never okay either. Merry Christmas to ALL Ukrainians 🇺🇦 We the world 🌍 love you.
Putin is so Full of SH=T
Please peace…
victory is for Glorious Ukraine and aggressor will be defeated
V good channel.from Pakistan
Putin finish he self
So who’s war is it anyway. The US is funding and arming Ukraine and setting the conditions for which Russian cities to target. A blind man can see through this farce.
How can the Russian people let this monster off a leader putin send there kids to a war that has no sense of purpose, knowing that they may never come home. The Russians people need to stand up and send him packing to jail, because what is he going to gain? nothing because Ukraine 🇺🇦 is going to be flat with nothing left to rule but waste land and needless deaths.
Les patriot peuvent détruire les bases de lancement des missiles et les avions russes stratégiques jusqu’à 1000 ou 2000 km et à 4000 km/heure, c’est redoutable, ça signe la fin de la pauvre armée vintage de putin, et plein d’autres armes arrivent en Ukraine en silence, ,une armada arrive en Ukraine , la fin du minus putin est proche, Moscou sera frappé et la flotte vintage de putin coulée à Sébastopol, enfin ce qu’il en reste.
Buildings destroyed, abandoned apartments, Ukrainian population
wanders around helplessly looks similar to Gary, Indiana. Our United States city of despair.
Why not food and money ?
Merry Christmas to Ukraine and shame on Russia for blindly sticking to cruel dictators of repression (who send bombs upon innocent civilians including children). Shame on Russia!
calling it an old system? Putin is a total Joke.
