#Ukraine #Russia #War
I wonder what Tucker Carlson is gonna have to say about this?
Зі Швеції, Готланд; Я народився в Стокгольмі приблизно в 1970-х роках, але виріс на Готланді, найбільшому острові в Балтійському морі. Коли я був дитиною, сім’я проводила літо на східному Ґотланді. Ми часто купалися на пляжі в Sjaustru. Я побачив кінець горизонту, ніби там закінчилася та частина світу! Ми ніколи про це не говорили! Не треба було про це говорити! Це було все! Коли впала стіна, розпався Радянський Союз, тоді мені трохи полегшало. Але послідував передсмертна агонія режиму в Прибалтиці. На той час я був командиром взводу строкової служби гаубиць 15,5 бригади Готланд. Я ніколи не вірив, що бекграунд Радянського Союзу помер, його тільки фінансово вибили! Мене виховали сім’я, школа і шведські збройні сили, які завжди прямо кажуть, що росіяни наші вороги. https://youtu.be/6t6PS2iEc24?t=140 Слава Україні!
Ukraine will return to the Fatherland as it was before 1991.
Швеція, Готланд, Вісбю: чути про розвідувальний рейд української роти проти російських ліній у районі Орічева. Розвідувальні рейди складні, ризик втрат високий, для здійснення розвідувального рейду потрібна велика мужність і вміння. Треба буде проводити ще розвідувальні рейди, сподіваюся, результат відчинить двері для українських бригад. Слава Україні!
Keep dreaming 😂 unbelievable how Ukraine hasn’t learnt from russian mistakes a convoy of armoured vehicles sitting on a road all together easy targets.
Getting blown up big time
This is what we called how we are underestimated a Russian force they are destroying so called best western Tanks in battlefield. Lol
more bogus western propaganda tokeep the war going to make defense contractors and corporations money,what are they counter offending?the russians have sat back and let them impale themselves for how long?
All these Russian trolls on here
Russia is still toying with Ukraine 🤣🤣🤣
And USA with Russia.
@Robert Gworek keep smoking
@zoom So you really have no idea about Ukraine and this conflict. Meanwhile we have information that Ukrainians are pushing Russians out of Staromaiors’ke and reached outskirts of Staromlynivka.
Ukrainians are bravely committing their people and deserve support in their defence of freedom, a few set backs are inevitable and should be kept in perspective
nato’s counter offensive was a major fizzer
There’s talk of the US giving nukes to Ukraine and NATO putting troops on the ground in Ukraine. These globohomo mor ons really want to start a nuclear war
🤫 Crazy! A leaker leaks & Media jumps like children even a after asked Shhhhhh!
And it’s GONE!
There is absolutely no sound rationale for either the limiting of Ukraine’s access to advanced offensive conventional weapons nor restrictions on attacking Russian soil.
Both of the above restrictions are based on irrational fears. One is the fear of nuclear war. Time and time again such fears have been shown to be unreasonable. Throughout all of the major world crises of the last 75 years, no nation has had the collective desire for national suicide that nuclear war would surely entail. The second is the fear of direct NATO involvement in the war. This presupposes Vladimir Putin would attack a NATO country when he obviously doesn’t have the military capacity to subjugate Ukraine. This is irrational.
What the above policies and restrictions have achieved is forcing the Ukrainian military to fight a limited and unimaginative war. It has forced the Ukrainians to carry out its summer offensive against main lines of Russian defenses and resistance.
Any first year West Point man or woman could look at the map of Ukraine and Russia and see what should be done. North of the Russian occupied regions of Ukraine lies 250 miles of direct Ukrainian / Russian border. Send the main elements of the Ukrainian army directly into Russia towards Kursk and Voronezh. The bulk of Russian forces are holding in the South in occupied Ukraine. The Ukrainian forces should be able to make rapid progress into Russia proper, either forcing Russia to divert their southern forces north or risk the Ukrainians continuing to drive toward Moscow. Even if the Russians could continue to hold regions of Ukraine and eventually stop the Ukrainian advances into Russia, Ukraine would then be in the enviable negotiating position of swapping Russian territory occupied by Ukrainian military forces for the portions of Ukraine occupied by Russian forces
My impression is that Russian bots are very active on this comment board.
Ruskie Bots, Ukie Bots, “Peacenik Bots”, all day everyday.
I actually have no idea who is winning.
the pigs of the west want to discourage the rugged male based on communistic ideals
Peace By The Bayonnet
the west is chattle to be used by the bankers and corporations orwell told us nothing
Are they winning?
Lets talk about Trump’s classified documents
@Lol Asdov and aliens pls
The Ukraine are getting slaughtered, the famous equipment given by America and Europe are getting turned to scrap! RIP poor soldiers on both sides.

There are people in the west who actually believe this media propaganda.its all nonsense for money,ukraine lost 2000 men and 86 amoured vehicles and 14 tanks in the last 24 hours.and now they are kidnapping teenage boys and sending them to the frontline with zero training where they have a life span of jst four hours,i wonder whether there will be any college boys left in Ukrainian universities.people who support Ukraine don’t seem to realize that the war in Ukraine started 9yrs ago when when the usa overthrew the democratically elected govt of the time and installed the their purpet.and they also dnt tell you that of 18m of 36m Ukrainians are ethnic Russia ns
Not verified by NBC?
Was that a ‘don’t believe your lying eyes’, and ‘this is not the outcome we want to report on’ type of thing?
Nothing is gained by war – today generation is full of evil knowledge , doesn’t understand the consequences of wars … its not computer game …..
0:23 “…Tell us what Kyiv is saying about it.” – That’s when you lost me.
Why would you have a news report and show aerial photos that can be matched up On satellite imagery from Russia you’re giving the way the positions of the Ukraine forces…. If Ukraine loses the war it will be because of Newcastle like this😆 FOOLS
Newscast sorry I’m extremely frustrated when I see these news reports. .. I’m sure these newscasters do not realize that this is a form of treason
I rather think the Russians know where the Ukrainians are………. 🤦♂ Knowing the location of Ukrainian positions is not necessary the same as being able to hit them. Listen to the report. Operations are occurring along = a 100 mile front…… As such the Russians have their hands full and their fire support is likely engaged trying to hold key sectors. Also you seem to think this was aired in simulcast……… What is more likely is these units moved on before this segment even aired.
If I didnt know any better Id think they was at war with someone.🤡
God bless all the people, fighting for Ukraine. I hope this invasion of your country is over soon. Heaps of Prayers to you all. Stay strong get this job done.
The Ukrainian Army lost Bradley Fighting Vehicles and A Leopard 2 Tank while failing to breach Russian defenses in Southern Ukraine
are Russians trolls this stupid?
Already broke through and Bradley’s are nothing special. I would be skeptical about any leopards being destroyed as Russia has already been caught faking pictures of destroyed ones. That’s not surprising being that Russia lies about literally everything.
‘Failing’ that remains to be seen.
Russia has lost at least 1,000 tanks while failing to capture the country.
@Brian Thompson good to know that ukraine didn’t loose anything
Ukraine needs to continue terrorist tactics like blowing up pipelines, bridges, dams and other civilian targets, because Ukraine is losing badly with Western Supplied weapons. I just see them blown up.
Zooprinsku
And lost 4000 troops😂
My mind and my heart on Ukraine. Hopefully Ukrainian win soon 🙏🏻🇺🇦🇺🇸
Wishes are free
@Dawit Dima
No free . I donated my money to Ukraine many times included 2 days ago
Faker than anything on hbo. I thought there was a writers strike?
So they will be begging for more money like agent orange is it a competition who get the most cash
Father, I ask that you wrap your arms around our Brother’s and Sister’s in the Ukraine this afternoon.. Please talk to them and bring guidance into their lives with your Word.. I ask that you please watch over and protect them.. Father, I ask that you please bring healing into their lives, healing from any injuries, healing from any sickness and disease, healing from hurt and pain, healing from mental illness and confusion, healing from worry and anxiety, healing from depression and grief, healing from anything else that may bring harm to their body and homes.. Father, I ask that you please provide for any assistance or needs that they may have and I ask that you please bring blessings into their lives so that they may be a blessing for others.. In Jesus name, I pray.. Amen!!!
Haha they plan to attack n cut them off n us ICBM’s o gosh can’t wait for them Russias too bunch up
Remember when Putin said this “operation” would only take them a week?? 😆 🤣 😆
Glory Ukraine 🇺🇦
Well he never said that and wasn’t expecting all of NATO and USA to send Ukraine hundreds of billions in high tech weaponry either. If it wasn’t for that massive help, Ukraine would’ve fallen long time ago. Oh look, Zelensky is on vacation again begging for more weapons 😅
US media said Ukraine would fall in a week
I hope for their sake this isn’t Ukraine’s “last, best chance,” because Ukraine kind of blundered the launch, and those Leapard tanks look like they’ve seen better, not smoking hulls days.
Like POOTY said, it will be easy to just roll over the UKRAINE People? Do you know their history of warriors? Like Viking ferocious.
This take is asinine at best. The only way to avoid equipment getting damaged or potentially destroyed in a war is to not use that equipment at all. In which case the equipment is pointless to have. It’s laughable that a few videos of western equipment being destroyed (most of which are too blurry to confirm) is a sign the counter offensive isn’t going well.
At the U.S. expense.
Prepare to be disappointed
NBC is propaganda for the military industrial complex. They started this war not Russia. It is more war profiteering.
When there is a war there is no winner and there is no loser just people being killed for selfish reasons
Hitler lost a war. World War II
England lost a war , and George Washington was a winner 1776
*Godspeed to Freedom, Ukraine!💖🟨🟦*
Ukraine is Pakistan of Europe
Yes I think is a good idea after 5,000.00 death soldiers and sending soldiers with no training is very good. Stop spreading fake news and help to stop it
the cover picture for this video of a mark19 set up like a mortar is hilarious.
Is America winning yet? 🤔
Yeah with all the aid from richer, smarter countries then them. Let em go to war with their own money
russian bots are going crazy
Russian army using drones and artillery to take out German and American made ARMOR; Ukrainian army seems to be slowly moving the ARMOR on the mined roads or near roads – perfect sitting target for drone/artillery work – they is my interpretation from the recent drone videos – Pray for Peace, prosperity for all, and end to totalitarian regimes
The Putin-loving, lunatic conspiracy theory spreading, fascist Republicans here in America will not stop our support for Ukraine. Their day is done, just like with the outrageously fascist Tories in the UK. We will win this global fight against 20th century authoritarianism and hatred.
Judging by the forum comments on all the Main Stream Media YouTube sites, the globalist propaganda war is being lost.
Get em!!
I want Ukraine to win, don’t get me wrong, but if that map is correct, Ukraine is slowly being strangled. They’ve got fighting all along their eastern border and there’s a Russian controlled city to the west of Ukraines capital. This looks like theyre trying to pinch the Ukrainian fighters into one area of Ukraine, so Russia has a better chance of decimating their military with one nuke instead of having to use 5 over 5 cities, but I’m sure the Ukrainians know how dire the situation is and wouldn’t allow all their troops to be consolidated into one place…idk…this ain’t lookin good for anyone.
News yo can trust to be fake mainstream mockingbird news
LOL they still lost
Your Joking Right ❓. Ukraine’s army consist of boys as young as 16 and Men as old as 65. …..no formal training , limited equipment . This is going to be a Blood Bath. By the end of June , the World will know exactly how much of a Desaster this war really is. Ukraine has already lost 1/3 of it’s population , and 3/4 of it’s land/ Country
To this Western Civilization Proxy War.
What a Shame , the origins of this goes back to Obama/Biden…
Great news!. Until victory Ukrainians!
Unlike russia moving its troops in plain view for a week. Americans support Ukraine. Magats support putin.
Quick, let’s send them billions more!!
Here we go again 😂😂😂😂🇷🇺🇷🇺
I’ve been hearing about this counter offensive for a while now. This has to be a joke.
🤮🤮🤮🤮
For those too young to remember the Vietnam War and the staggering corruption of the military (and advisors to LBJ), just consider this: From the actual documents released in the Pentagon Papers – “Assistant Sec of Defense, John T. McNaughton wrote to president Johnson, that the reason we’re still in Vietnam is 70% to avoid a humiliating US defeat, 20% to keep the territory free from Chinese, and 10% to permit the people of South Vietnam to enjoy a better, freer life”. There you have it, folks. You can’t trust anything the US government tells us about Ukraine. We’re there for all the wrong reasons, and we won’t leave because the US military-industrial complex loves war.
Another Tonka toy 🪀 for the Big Bear to throw around😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Go get these Putin pukes!! America is rooting for you!! GO UKRAINE!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇲🇬🇧, and all other NATO COUNTRIES!!!!!
We want our money back
Now we have to ask how much of the reporting is true.
After they got on an open field hahaha ..how smart was that.
Russia hits decoy tanks hahaha.
The only objective with this so called counteroffensive is so Ukraine can in a near future say they are having ” peace talks” because Russia can’t handle Ukraine war anymore , when it is Ukraine who is losing this war, you can tell by Ukraine randomly attacking Russian territory with no real plan, has no real long term benefit, they haven’t even taken back lost territory, they will certainly not conquer Russian territory.
Oh, it’s not over yet???
First time in combat and last time in combat. Russia will wipe out all western equipment in Ukraine like taking candy from a baby. Nato is a paper tiger with no balls and 72 genders.
😂😂😂😂
The reporter is not a very impressive specimen. Find someone else.
I’m calling total BS in the GOP not fully in support for this war . Mitch McConall said we need to defeat Russia for global security because China is watching . It’s
in our best interest to fight this war without any US or NATO boots on the ground .
UA army is already in vladivostok, didn’t you know?
the americans want to pretend as if life is a fantasy that they are so good and so righteous while they not only ignore palestine but support the brutality and bigotry is america so called racist,what do you call isreal who accepts no foreiners
The offensive is a failure. Thirty Leopards have been destroyed along with numerous Bradleys. The Ukronazis haven’t even gotten to the first line of defense. They’re destroyed before reaching it. Armored attacks without air superiority are the height of stupidity. The Germans found that out during the Battle of the Bulge, December 1944.
❤ 🇷🇺 RUSSIA ❤ 🇷🇺
❤ 🇷🇺🏅 PUTIN🏅 🇷🇺 ❤
NO ROOM FOR NATO PIRATES IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION!!! 🇷🇺
After the war USA are going to loose Alaska because Putin is going to take it back!!😮
Greetings from Houston, Tx Mexico 🇲🇽
Mk-19…Taliban we’re always scared the most from it
Don’t know why anyone shocked it take a while for a army to take land , when the enemy has had a month to get ready it going to be a long bloody couple of months for both side .
Waiting to see this escalate into a nuclear war in ukrine.
Who y’all saying is going to win ?
I am nervous I hope everything will go well for Ukraine!
Watch history legends channel to see about Ukraine
GOD BLESS UKRANIAN’S SOLDIER’S…I PRAY THAT GOD IS WITH THEM ALL THE WAY INTO VICTORY…IN JESUS NAME.
Putin needs to be stopped at all costs…
These are MORE mainstream media LIES. The Ukrainian military literally has less than 4,000 soldiers left. They haven’t recaptured anything… they’ve hung their flag on two vacant and crumbled buildings for the camera. The “not-zees” have been exterminated. Good job, RUSSIA. Most of this video is from training exercises about 150 miles west of ANY Russian forces.
Attacking into fortified defensive locations, with prepared minefields, other engineer focused deterrents and covered by artillery and air, this looks like a slaughter of the last of the Ukrainian forces.
