Russia has launched a number of missile strikes across Ukraine. At least three people were killed in Kyiv and a fourth died in the southern city of Mykolaiv. Meanwhile politicians in Ukraine are looking at ways to increase the number of troops, with the army reportedly in need of half a million extra soldiers.
Al Jazeera’s Rob McBride reports from Kyiv.

Tragic price of NATO expansion
Nato Watches while frontline country try to free themself.
@@user-iy3dx1zl9q NATO expansion caused the war and Ukraine has paid a tragic price…
They thought the west was their friend.
They should’ve chose BRICS.
@@OzzyBlokeHow did NATO expansion justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Ukraine rejected the 2007 offer to start the process to join NATO and did not commence discussions with NATO regarding joining until October 2022 which was 8 months after the Russian invasion. Ukraine was interested in joining the EU because there was greater potential economic benefit to having free trade with European nations than with Russia and the CIS states. Russia has been interfering in Ukraine, Georgia , Moldova and the other former Soviet states since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russian aggression is the sole cause of this war.
Where will they found 500k men? This isn’t Command and Conquer
Unless they deploy NATO soldiers, I don’t think find those
By “find soldiers” they mean kidnapping Ukrainian men and forcing them to fight.
America spreading the war to worlds
Why should Congress go and see the war zone? The American’s they represent don’t want to pay for this war. We could $60 billion of our own taxes right here in our own country.
The US is increasingly Bankrupt by the Wars being started by itself. Karma won’t leave anyone
500.000 more? and after RUSSIA kills all them…
then what?
then you negotiate?
or you could have KNOWN you were NEVER gonna win and saved 1 million people from dying….
The civilian casualty ratio in Gaza is hundreds of times higher than for the conflict in Ukraine.
Perceived reality. That’s because the Russians want to destroy the Ukrainian military, but the Israelis want to destroy the Palestinian people.
It’s making money, keep quiet.
It’s also hundred times for dense then Ukraine. Use your Brain it’s there for a reason
Agreed…now where is the solidarity for ukrain against russia occupation??
You do know an entire generation of men are dead hundreds of thousands its just not reported Ukraine lost 1000 in 1 day
Disgusting all the social welfare blocks are being destroyed. We all know it isnt Russia doing this clean up for social services.
🤣🤣🤣
All you need to do is tell your president Solinski to negotiate a peace settlement. The Russians have been begging for negotiations. By the way US Senator Mitt Romney said this NATO backed war in Ukraine is the best thing ever for the US
This proof that Ukrainians already lost 500 000 soldiers already
The west cannot condemn russian when they attacked civillian while they supported the exact same thing in gaza.
❤❤❤
They chose this since 2014.
Technically you right but it started in 2012 when ukriane want be closer to russia
@@danielbb85702012?
Ukraine wanted no compromise, all they had to do was reject Nato. Unfortunately, its corrupt leadership is willing to destroy the country for money
5 millions troops are coming from Europe & usa soon
No not going to happen
Usa will never fight direct with russia
@@poppystars9005it’s gonna happen
@@mw9297maybe but not sure it will
These high tech wars aren’t like those of ww2 anymore. Armies don’t have surprise anymore and can easily attacked by drones or smart munitions. Usa would suffer greatly this isn’t Iraq
half of israel is ukrainians they should go there
Russia has the right to defend itself against NATO
нато пряталось в многоэтажке?
NATO is not and was not attacking Russia. Besides, what about NATO Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, who border Russia why doesn’t Russia also invade them, then? Ukraine is NOT EVEN IN NATO. Duh!
@@bigglesharrumpher4139 1. Once Ukraine is in NATO – it will be too late. Ukraine lost its neutrality. 2. Russia has 0 strategic interest in the Baltics. It has huge strategic interest in Ukraine.
@@user-tc3zq9yu7o Смешно предполагать, что удар был нанесен по многоэтажке, от которой бы мало что осталось при попадании ракеты, например. Необыкновенно “разумный” расход боеприпасов на бесчисленные многоэтажки. Не разумнее ли предположить, что это результат от промахов ПВО или обломков.
@@bigglesharrumpher4139 you clearly don’t understand geopolitics
Peace NOW
Tell that to the Putin who invaded, not the Ukrainians’ defending their country
@@bigglesharrumpher4139 have you ever taken time to research on what lead to the war in Ukraine other than listen to the ugly western propaganda which is being showed by western media?
What’s happening to Ukraine is very very very bad and unfortunate. God help those people.
The USA is to blame for this
@@Comradeblucher312 No it is not, stop lying. Russia, or more precisely Putin and his fascist regime, are the only ones responsible for this sensless war of aggression.
Helped the US, but the US is a bad god who also killed the people of Syria.They originally needed to negotiate in the war, but Zelensky behaved like a small and resentful child
@@Comradeblucher312Did USA invade Ukraine? Russia did.
What’s happening in Ukraine is nothing when you compare it to Gaza, yet NATO is still helping Ukraine more than Palestine
But Nato has never helped Palestine & never will?
@@drcatzsurgury NATO is fully controlled by USA, and USA loves Israel
NATO has never helped Palestine or any brown or black nations.
@@mahirrahman7 because they don’t care about those people
@@mahirrahman7 NATO countries funded Gaza, way more then any Arab country ever did. Do some research, or stay as stupid as u look
They certainly don’t need to become a NATO member… Maybe they can join the EU. That may be enough to keep Russia out of there.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸 and Free Russia 🇷🇺
Free Russia?
But they are winning, why they need another 500k soldier?🤔
Their Far from winning
If you want to know the truth about the Ukraine war don’t watch any western News channel they’ll mislead you, Ukraine is currently struggling while Russia is getting stronger
Потому, что не побеждают. Важно быть а не слыть.
Well, they are not losing, which is amazing since the whole invasion was meant to take 3 days.
Zelensky didn’t try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity.
In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.
If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.
Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.
Who didn’t want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time.
Russia’s national security was compromised once nato began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining nato was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.
20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO.
NATO is not a defensive alliance. Nato illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter).
We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster?
Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest.
Zelensky also tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland.
Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed.
Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens—theirs will hide in the basements”.
Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it.
Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine’s negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country.
Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. (13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list.)
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list.
There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas. (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence).
The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present.
Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave.
Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) RIP.
The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims).
The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter.
I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion.
I have provided a brief summary of events that took place. In order to explain this whole situation in great detail, a book would need to be written.
Hopefully someone will write an UNBIASED book, stating facts and allowing the readers to form their own judgments. Everything I said can be fact checked and verified.
You are completely correct. Everything is correct. This is the true account of this history. The West, on the other hand, has been feeding nothing but lies.
both wrong first slavic settlement there was actually the dutchy of lithuania if your going by chronology, prior to that it was the greek settlement of Histria, Russia (grand dutchy of moscovy) didnt exist till 12th century
Good points – I would suggest the suppression of the Russian peoples was because earlier, Putin had announced one of his reasons for invading was to ‘protect Russian speaking people’. Hitler had used the same pretext to invade Czechoslovakia and Poland. Thanks for your detailed points.
Down to children under 18 soon?
Stop this ridiculous war. Ukraine is defeated.
Nato is afraid of putting boots on the ground?
That make no sense, Ukraine not members of nato , nato don’t want caused ww3 , are you dumb to understand that
They’ve already sent enough military aid, they underestimated the strength of the Russian army
And still they do Wallstreets dirty work! Another Nato genocide and silent takeover. Breed hatred among slavs. Depleted the ukranian gene pool. The police is being sent to the meat grinder now, and guess who gets to patrol their women and children?
Israel America war criminal
Meanwhile Russia saying Israel should halt it’s war
Russia not occupy a whole nation . While Israel occupy Palestinians lands.
New Ukraine People’s Republics have decided to leave Kiev Regime oppression & join Russian Federation.. the end
@@goldarrrdigi8588well really it Palestine and Isreal land , Palestine never existed, Muslim kicked out all Jewish people years ago
Putin said that his open for peace talks while Biden keeps telling Zelensky to keep fighting
They got it.
You 🙀 generation only thinks protest will stop whatever they don’t like or want to do. Like little babys throwing temper tantrums kicking and screaming in the store.
Almost 100k healthy and fit man ran away in canada.ukranian government should call them back in Ukraine.
😂😂😂Why should US Congress come see the apartment Complex ??? Ask Zelensky and other clowns who did not make PEACE with Russia .
This war is partly of America’s making lol, not the Ukranians
Russia will win this special operations. Long live Russia
500,000 do you have that many men left? Just stop the war and come to the negotiation table
Joe Biden Doesn’t want Zelensky to negotiate
The war can end today, if Russia stops its aggression and ends the occupation of Ukrainian territory. The thing is, that Ukrainians are fighting for their homes and their survival as a nation, Russians are fighting for more land (which they already have more than any nation in the world) and Putin’s imperial ambitions. More importantly, Ukrainians have good reasons to believe that any peace signed now will only serve Russia to rebuild their military and invade Ukraine again in the future. Russia has broke every international agreement signed with Ukraine in the past, so of course there is no trust.
Does it look like that is going to happen anytime soon?
its okay the women can date outside the country
ZV👍
Draft new soldiers . You are at war for survival . 🇺🇸🇺🇦
When US foreign investors are ready to tell Zelensky to negotiate peace treaty, Russia can accommodate
Ukraine, Province of Russia
Gaza, province of Israel
@@recikkrecik1886 And both statements are completely false of course. Both Ukraine and Palestine are independent nations and occupation of both must end.
Ukraine translation in Russian: “Edge” : edge of Russia as it always has been. It has never been a country and was always Russia itself, except for these 30 years that don’t count now, especially after the illegal criminal coup with snipers attacking and killing government officials. Had this happened in the western world, they would’ve been called terrorists. Little example is the capitol invasion in Washington. By the way, there is no Ukrainian culture, Russians stem from Ukraine and Russia was founded there, so Ukrainian culture is just a cult movement like the AZOV supported by the Western propaganda.
Russia, to be divided into 3 separate countries.
Kyiv 482
Moscow 1147
someone need to get rid of Putin as soon as possible
Any realistic replacement for Putin will be more anti-Western than he is.
Try to think before posting may be?
And replace him with who exactly? Any likely candidate to replace him will be from the same political wing he was from… and likely be far harsher towards western meddling…
Why, for 8 years Putin tried to find a solution to this but America didn’t want peace, what other choice did have apart from invading Ukraine
Оооо если будет Медведев….. То…..
Replace with whom? You? Use common sense, what needs to happen is NATO needs to stop provoking it’s adverseries. Secondly respect other countries. Lastly, understand that NATO countries are not the centre of the universe
Hire me ❤❤❤
Ukraine should have abided by the Minsk peace accords, but chose not to.
Biden forced Zelensky to tore up the treaty
Russia broke Minsk 2 agreements the same day they were signed by breaking the truce and attacking Debaltseve. Minsk Agreements were stillborn, and it is Russia’s fault.
Russia broke Minsk agreement, thatswhy they didnt work anymore
us and eu only reason for this conflict
And what reason would that be? Ukraine being the only nation bordering Russia NOT in NATO?
Russia have his right for defend itself
Israel has a right to defend itself

Ukrainian need to be honest first and tell us the number of lost soldiers.
Who are you to demand it? You see killed 5 killed civilians in one morning and asks about more killed people?
I’m no importance, you are corrupt country killing innocent people for NATO. Shame on you
@@marina1463 they are not civilians. Zelensky turned his entire population in to soldiers. They are forced to fight.
@@gregmasters8558 your country is under attack of the other country. What do you do in this case? What have Sovjetunion, Britain in 1941 done when they were attacked? What would be when they would not fight back?
@@marina1463 You don’t understand how empire works. Once USA colonized my country they installed local people as puppet government. So the country has no hope since the people in charge only cater to their bosses interests. This is why I admire Russia they have repelled USA and it’s colonial allies for centuries.
Zelensky knows there’s no hope and could put an end to it immediately by suing for peace. His top general Zalushny wouldn’t stop him. So why doesn’t he do it?? What does he have to gain by continuing to increase losses to his country?? That’s the big question.
Ridiculous that Ukraine is forcibly conscripting old men and pregnant women. Ukraine lost this war when they started it. Only way out is to sue for peace.
Stupid, NATO was never a peaceful organization
For what?
Ukraine don’t need any military personnel for all they need is comedians if anyone likes they should asked that idiot comedian president of Ukraine and his senior idiot comedian of usa Joe Biden
Their comedy will makes Lord Putin and Russia Russia to forget and end the war
At least u have soldiers
israel and Russia are doing war crimes against innocent civilians.
SEND THE SWEDES TO HELP. THEY WANT TO FIGHT A WAR.
Any Swedes that wanted to help were able to join for the last 2 years
End the war.
Tell it to Biden
The president and his family should join the army. Maybe if he lost his son he would consider to end the war
His children are way too young to even serve yet, so what’s your point?
His point is that the political class never suffers from the results of their actions. The sons and daughters of politicians never have to go to war. They don’t know the pain that they impose upon their citizens. They are completely detached from reality. Same in every country not just Russia or Ukraine.
Russian president started the war. He sent tanks to other country. Putins youngest children were born in Switzerland. The elder children are daughters
@@mob-kw9hz leaders don’t fight on the front lines – they’re needed to lead their country……
Yes, I recall, Dmityry Peskov pulling his own son out of his army mobilisation pretty darn quickly but then expects others to send their children. Pretty typical of Russia’s double standard…….
You mean the losses are real.
13 million tory voters in Britain to choose from…
500.000 more troops for what, invading Poland?
Because Ukraine lost 500,000 men
WHY! don’t they conscript Women?..
They are strong in movies..,
and Equality EVERYWHERE..they say
bikini armor is the best…
They do actually conscript women, and the new law would expand the number of categories of women to be conscripted as well
From the many young Ukrainian men I’ve been seeing arriving of lately in my country south of Europe I don’t see how they’ll be able to do that… Most Ukrainians men I meet are just trying to run away from the horrors of the war and I can’t blame them, they deserve a peaceful life with a future, not the neat grinder at the frontlines:(
They are terribly racist though
500,000 more soldiers? Are they planning to invade one of their neighbours?🤣🤣🤣
Aljazeera became cnn showing one side of the story, and interviewing residents who are pro endless war …… Millions of Ukrainians are against the war, but their voices are silent and media not allowed to approach them …..
I taught the where winning ? Who is voting for this 500, 000 men? You think Russian can’t bring in 1000, 000. Stop this nonsense
Britain has 72,000 in total and are trying to recruit but not many people interested in war. This ahows just how beaten nato is

A war that was caused by the west, funny how you fail to mention that.
Why do they want to wipe out another innocent 500,000 soldiers?
Weird how an entire country can be willing to become murderers and then die just to make USA some money.
Not just one country involved, Columbian armed forces are appearing more in ukraine, just like the latino migrants storming the border into the united states, they have no love for the flag they are there for the money, however columbian armed forces arnt to be taken lightly, they ARE some of the most experienced soldiers on the planet.

For alle who do not know. Ukraine is not in NATO. Ukraine was not a NATO-member, when Russia started the war. As well as Finnland ans Sweden were not in NATO before Russia started the war. NATO-membership is now the answer to Russia for this countries
To many draft dodgers, the same people will be fighting on the front line if Russia takes over. For the next front
This war is lost to the favour of russia, the “offensive” failed. Its time for ukraine to drop eu/us and save anything that can be saved. People are effing dying!!
They could easily end the war but their leaders dont want to be assassinated by the cia
