Does anyone really expect Putin to say "Oops, sorry, I made a mistake and will pull back all troops now"? This is going to get really nasty.

[mrfugazi]

The only thing that’s gonna make Russia look good here, is if one of his generals takes Putin out, apart from that, forget about it.

You really think that lady was going to be critical of Putin? She's a smart lady. She don't want drama.

Feel bad for both ukranian and russian citizens as they are the ones suffering the most in all of this conflicts

I realy started to admire Russian people in last 10 to 20 years how they grow after ussr colapse, their lifestyle and welth. Now one leader throw them back 30 years, they are doomed.

"What negotiations?! Get the f. out of my country!!!" - Vitali Klitschko
Also note that Russia conducted cluster bombing on a super market in Kharkiv while the "negotiations" were taking place.

It's crazy how just one man can have this impact on the whole world, *one just one man

Protesters in Putin’s Russia can face years in prison, not just a fine or a slap on the wrist.

This is why democracy is the way to go to prevent this kind of one man tyranny that doesn’t even represent the interest of the people of that country

[underthebridgetv]

Poor old lady, it's really heart breaking that ordinary citizens are suffering for one man's megalomaniac

the pictures of how far away he sits from everyone is comical

I really hope that this war ends quickly and that Ukraine will win and be a free country. I am cheering for Ukraine and their people.

[jonethomas]

When no one can't say any thing in a country, this is a huge lesson not to lose freedom to us all.

[kevphillips]

I can't imagine having untold wealth, privalige and material satisfaction yet desiring to cause war in another country for no particular reason . Our leaders have so much to answer for .

[aaronedringtonnone]

Russia needs to wake up and stand against Putin.

[MrYuryZ]

This is madness what's happened in Ukraine now. I've been to Ukraine. It's a beautiful and peaceful country. Very kind and nice people! I have friends there. And I feel that I am responsible for what's Putin is doing because I haven't done enough to stop this. What a shame to be a russian. But I am so proud of Ukrainians! What a brave nation! They fight to their home and families! My heart goes out for Ukrainians. May God bless you.

[jbeasty]

I hope this will end soon in a peaceful way. No one wins in war except the rich and politicians. Those fathers who picked up guns to fight, if they die in the battlefield, the mothers will be left alone to raise their children by themselves. And those children will grow up with hatred. So, the cycle will just continue.

Dude gave him a evil look & said " you know " 😂

I feel bad for these people, but I feel worse for the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦
