And tell us why we should believe anything the media says.

Russian Drones! Russia, Russia, Russia.... We're not gonna buy it!

All citizens should have been evacuated a year ago. Anyone still there now is either a soldier or a mercenary.

[patriayvida]

Don't you mean "allegedly" just like when Russia "alleges thst Ukraine commits acts of terrorism?

[davids]

I guess they’re not partying now huh!!

[domfel]

they chose war over peace, let them have it

[zachdancy]

How many made their target, besides the supposed 10 shot down?

[mariannemarek]

Are you spelling the names correctly???

[scottwaters]

What did they expect? No sympathy here!

[mrboom]

[CarringtonHollister]

At this point I’m siding with the Booskis.

[Jasper]

That is what happens when you elect a comedian as your leader.

[parkave]

Ukraine: The Art of Bullshit

Narrative continues to collapse in on itself

[jaspajones]

I am rooting for Russia as an American. They have the right to deny nato creeping in on their land.

[youtubedeletestheoppositio]

They still fighting in Kiev? They have been there the whole time lol… at this point I’d move onto somewhere new.

[rafimontoya]

Putin is asking to get nuked at this point and I would love to see Russia wiped off the world map 😂

[steveduval]

The russian military must have sobered up enough to do something effective. Long live a heavily militarized Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 love all Nato !! See ya later russia 🤣🤡

[Libs.R.Idiots]

I guess drones are not considered ammunition. 😂
