'The Pressure On Putin Grows,' As Ukrainian Fighters Push Deeper Into Russian-Controlled Areas

Ukrainian fighters push deeper into Russian-controlled areas in the east, threatening to cut off Russian forces from supply lines and potentially deal another costly defeat to President Vladimir Putin. This comes just after Vladimir Putin announced Russia's illegal annexation of four partially occupied Ukrainian regions: Donetsk and Luhansk in the east, and Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the south. Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Admiral James Stavridis, and President of the Council on Foreign Relations, Richard Haass, join the conversation.

"The Pressure On Putin Grows," As Ukrainian Fighters Push Deeper Into Russian-Controlled Areas

[geofo]

There were reports late last night by British journalists on the ground following Ukraine army that they were close to Lysichansk.
Looks like Ukraine is on a roll 👍🇬🇧

[lucienpoulard]

Imagine Putin enjoying his own party while young Russian men are dying for no reasons at all.
This true Russian Roulette.

[gljm]

I heard that with each new Ukrainian victory the frustrated Putin apologist Tucker Carlson kicks a puppy.

Where is Trump When Pootin Needs him Most ? Trump Could Help him by Winning the War “by Just Thinking “ About it.

Africa is sending prayers to Ukraine and Condemning this Russian war

[mikekelley]

God bless the people of Ukraine, you are the bravest in the world; may victory be yours and your country returned to you.

I never really noticed how short Putin is. No wonder he has issues 🤣

[CycloneGU]

"We proclaim this territory Russian...what do you mean they are leaving? Make them stay until I sign the papers, dammit!"

[stevesteve]

Trump said Putin is genius. Trump should move to live with Putin.

[catrox]

It’s nothing that a few more parades, concerts and fancy signing ceremonies can’t fix.

Go Ukraine 🇺🇦 💙💛🌻
Love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤🤍🍁

[beringstraitrailway]

All of those people cheering in Red Square should show their support by heading to front lines!
Starting with the short guy and the guys standing next to him!

[Arigna]

Go Ukrainian fighters, kept sent Russian fighters back home in body bags.

[barbarabretti]

SLAVA UkRAINE ! Keep strong 🙏🇺🇦🇺🇦💛💙💪💪💛💙🌻🌻🇦🇺

[SNOWDONTRYFAN]

Winter warfare is hard, especially for those who are about to start their second combat tour, as for the state of their equipment that is in desperate need of maintenance ?? in the meanwhile for sure the UA will be getting shipments of cold weather combat gear !

[Muttinchopsforeverstrong]

Putin could have retired on his yacht with all his countrys money wine women and song lived out his days living the high life now he lives in fear of death .

[oscarespinosa]

I am pretty sure Ukraine, will take back Crimea, because is also part of their territory...

[NattyDaddyDreams]

I can't help but think the more we "help" Ukraine, the faster we drive to WW3. It will make WW2 look like a dinner party. We need compromise in the world. Not human slaughter factories of war on scale the world has never seen. continuing and eventually coming to your front yard. PEACE should be debated for 100 years, rather than fight a war for one hour.

PRAYERS FOR UKRAINE 🇺🇦🙏🇺🇦🙏🇺🇦🙏🇺🇦🙏🇺🇦🙏🇺🇦🙏🇺🇦🙏🇺🇦🙏

[antitsa]

No, Joe, no sports mixed into the news of Ukraine.
