Interesting about the lawn mowers sounding like drones and scaring people. One of the things you don't think about until you live in it.

[Bob-kx]

They look run down. Russia can not continue as a country after this.

Jesus, those poor guys being released from Russia look like they're a few weeks away from "Holocaust survivor" territory.

Slava Ukraini, Geroyam Slava!

I like this man! Putin called him an actor! He is tactical politician that putin! The war monger

[TheBHAitken]

Just out of curiosity: The Russian soldiers held prisoner are given alternatives to being returned to Russia, including volunteering for the Ukrainian forces. What percentage of Russian soldiers refuse to return because I am assuming none of the Ukrainian soldiers are refusing a return trip.

[johnglover]

I was in Kherson a couple of weeks ago and as I watch this video of President Zelenskyy speak, I get a very nervous feeling in worrying about russian drones flying nearby as he speaks.

[orangadil]

Luhankz, donetz, crimea etc are UKRAINE TERRITORY based on any kinds of international law. That it is a fact and officially.

[dwsmgfx]

My god look at them all of them looked starved, like does any country have any morals left or is it just countries like usa and canada and some EU where you will still be fed like proper human being needs too
