The fall was not meant to be confirmed but the corrupt clown gave it away 😹😹😹

[fikarrusdiawan]

What are these journalists really trying to confirm from someone like Mr. Zelensky? 😕

[hitchhiker]

It must really hurt to report this eh? lmao

[ShinShin]

Well, he said, "I think, no". That's what he thinks, that's not what his ground commander and forces think.

[stephenwambugu]

Can you imagine Ukraine army got hammered by convicts with shovels 😂😂

[peterr]

[maxameddeeq]

Is in our hearts meaning not in our hands!😂😂

[yaloluyanda]

Just accept defeat and start preparing defences for the next city

[zamraaj]

Zelensky says that they destroyed everything. Bakhmut is in our hearts. In coming months and may be years, Zelensky will say that they have destroyed everything. Ukraine is now only in our hearts. I wonder if this heartless man truly has a heart.

This is so similar on what happened to South Vietnam.

👉💀We must never forget how 30 000 of starving and demoralized Russian convicts armed with nothing but shovels had suffered 40 000 casualties, yet still managed to surround and take the city of Bakhmut from a professional Ukrainian army, which was equipped with the best gear NATO could offer, along with the best CIA intel and backed by billions of US taxpayers dollars.

[ahmedalsharman]

Welldone another victory for Russia 🇷🇺 over the NATO alliance 😊 . The whole world stand with Russia 🇷🇺

[leisakovacek]

[lubegaswaib]

For all western weapons and soldiers this war must stop

[emkay]

Big L for the West at the G7 summit. Timing impeccable.

[uniquefall]

Does anyone still care about these matters⁉
The use of Western weapons, including German helmets, played a role in these tragic events.❗

[stratfordbaby]

You cannot clarify, he's playing word games. He's trying to say Bakhmut is DESTROYED therefore Russia doesn't 'have it'. But they sure have the territory it stood on!!!

Then why your so called reporter was denying the truth yesterday
