But the genocide and war crimes against Ukrainian civilians perpetrated by Putin is acceptable. That is why there are over 100K cases of war crimes referred to the Court in the Hague and an arrest warrant for Putin.

Well then all the Palestine people can go to Russia start the air lift.

How utterly ironic and hypocritical is his suggestion that ground invasion of Gaza would be completely unacceptable. "THERE IS NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO WILL NOT SEE..."

[bernardotoole]

Amazing that he simply ignores his handiwork in the Ukraine by reflecting on the conflict in Gaza instead.

[Leo]

For those thinking it's hypocrisy. Imagine what's left of Ukraine if Putin did there what Israel is now doing in Gaza. Use your brain.

WTF? The pot calling the kettle black?

The differences are that Hamas stages military operations from civilian areas. Russia is hitting civilian buildings that have no military presence. Staging military operations in civilian areas like hospitals, apartment buildings schools, is war crime.

Russia is "accused " by whom, by murderers ?

[Tuuktalus]

How rich. What does he have to say about his buddies in AZERBAIJAN massacring Armenians??

[fkoff]

The nerve of Putin to say what he's saying when he himself committed war crimes when he first attacked Ukraine. The nerve, Can anyone give this guy a mirror or videos of what he did to Ukraine? The audacity of this war maker.

[Thundarr]

Music sounds like a 90's porno flick.🤣

[benswimmin]

Lmao! Says the war criminal!! Bahahaha

[jeanwesterman]

For Putin to even think that is laughable! Has he forgotten that this is what he's done for almost 2 years and Ukraine?

[conservative-girl]

They are given 24 hours to get out....
They are forewarned.
If they don't get out?
KaBoom

Practice what you preach, Putin. Cease fire yourself & stop with all this war. 🤔🌎🙏

Russia has the right to take back Ukraine and defend itself

[joe.oneill]

What's Putin going to do? Blow up more Russian tanks in protest? 😂
