USA calls it "Liberation" instead of "Invasion". That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on... Why the double standard? Confused... Please enlighten. Genuine question...

Ruskyi mir in all its glory...destruction, destruction, destruction...thankfully the orcs are getting trashed by Ukraine, well done !!

[ethanrichardson]

driving the Iranian military counselors and the Russian aggressors out of Kherson city will always and forever remain a historical achievement

[СемёнПыхтеев-гс]

Always fun to watch vast majority of people filmed by Al Jazeera speak Russian, not Ukranian. /s

_mantep liputannya Al Jazeera English._ 👍🙏💙

Slava Ukraine. Please deny Russia taking over Bakhmut if you safely can. From USA.

[maxsoon]

Ukraine also target Russian position in Bakhmut. It will not be easy roads for the enemies

[diazvirdani]

*Russia🇷🇺 occupied Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, Zaporizhia.*
Russia must end occupation & Peace!

[musicplaylists]

wool blankets, oil lamps, wood stoves, waterproof ski clothing, fishing equipment, archery equipment, food seeds, are all things you will wish you had taken the time to prepare in advance for harder times.

Ukraine will lose this war if christians didn't unite to help their brothers and sisters in Ukraine. God says in Corinthians 12:26 " if one members suffers, all suffer together, if one member is honored, all rejoice together " and even Prophet Muhammad pbuh said help those who are in need and oppressed.

[AugustusOmega]

I thought Ukros are claiming a great victory in Kherson? meanwhile getting pumped everywhere else

[tonysargent]

I'm liking Russia's chances in the next para Olympics and the next Special Olympics!!!

[philliptemple]

Yes this looks like typical Russian "liberation". Mass graves and torture dungeons. Destroyed civilian buildings. This is why there is a huge party in Kherson tonight.

If you know your enemy you know yourself, even a victory is pain if it cost too high. I can say word after few years Ukraine become graveyard by hunger and corruption takes over everything 🥲
