How come I haven't seen Putins speech anywhere on North American News?

[richkamminga]

How about bringing about an end to this Orwellian war?

[gayleenelliott]

Before celebrating let’s just calm down and stay focused
Everyone understands that Putin has claimed this as Russian territory
Everyone knows he just did a speech that’ll they’ll defend by all necessary means
Everyone knows Russia is still saying this is a military operation not a war
I say just sit tight
Pay attention
If nothing happens after 2 weeks then we can celebrate
But let’s just stay focused
No egging on just report facts and leave the input out of it
This next few weeks is a very tense time and reporters have a responsibility not to add to it

Lmao, if Putin’s forces are retreating it’s part of their plan, Russia could have easily wiped Ukraine off the map if that is what they wanted .

...could lead to more money laundering. There, Heather, fixed the title for ya! I know you're distracted.

[LelandReview]

If a region votes to leave Ukraine. And they take it back by force. Is that not invasion ?

[kodac]

It’s a trap. The soldiers in that area will be slaughtered. Get them out.

[gunngrease]

C'mon Cans they only got 87 000 000 000.00 so far

Lyman is not a part of Donetsk region, it is a part of Kharkov region, where referendums did not take place.

[amandastevenson]

Where's our prime minister like looking for Waldo I don't even know what he has to say about all this

[princentirwimura]

Nothing changes 😂 the title is misleading 💀

[marcelnowakowski]

This is definitely a bad news, I have to say.
But... in a war things can swing either way and let's hope Russia re-captures Lyman soon.

Every time Ukraine makes a gain like this you can see the Russia supporters say the same stuff like a broken record

“It’s just a feint!!!!”

Yeah bro, that’s what you said the last 4 times and it wasn’t one, also in feints you usually don’t just surrender most of your equipment and soldiers, or take heavy casualties

[kathleenweinberg]

Hope the Ukrainian people are staying strong and continue to grow and pray

[sergueivergounov]

Could lead to new gains, may lead to new losses as well.
A quarter of Ukrainian territory is lost since 2014, more on the way.
Slava Zukkini!
