[GrimJim]

He sounds like the rocket man from NK. Making up fake stories

[Jeff-yqkd]

That's great! So you shouldn't need any more money.

[utahgflyer]

Without some sort of verification this doesn't mean anything. Both sides will always lie to make themselves look better but Ukraine's propaganda tends to be rather ridiculous.

[CasualMisinformationSpreader]

War criminal. Hand rubbing intensifies.

[danjenkins]

If you’re gonna lie at least try and make it believable.

Putin blame his soldiers for the 400 deaths, but why were they placed next to an ammo storage unit. And why did the officers let them use their phones. Putin always blame others😣

[hvega]

Go away Zelenski. No more money for you guys 👎🏽

[thomaspham]

It reminds me that Zelensky was a comedian and still is acting like a joker.

[bigfundonttrip]

See America we killed 500 with that extra $45 billion 😂

[NightcorEDM]

Even though I can't see the dislike bar, we know there is 4 times more dislikes than likes

[milescivis]

Please send more $$$ comrades. Lol

[pokerone]

Dead-eyed and hollow. Expect no mercy in the inevitable retaliation.

The comment section is restoring my faith in humanity. Now push your representatives to stop sending money.
