Boris is one step closer to falling out of a window.

[waynehersel]

Good for him. If he's smart, he'll avoid 9th floor open windows.

[matveyc]

I would like to see all these 'window joke' guys to have enough courage to publicly sign up for Nadezhdin as so many of us just did in Russia

[MrGenosfly]

Boris is a step closer to a Siberian prison.

[ronaldcole]

Not a question of whether this man will win or lose, rather which end, head or ass, will go first out a window? That's how they practice democracy in Russia.

[mungucitimothy]

If you ever feel hopeless in your life, remember those trying to oppose Putin in Russia.

[catrionawatson]

I hope he knows to stay away from windows.

[Evulnation]

So sad how everyone seeing this knows that he has no chance because of how corrupt their system is.

[TheCoolbreeze]

If the US is in fact retiring the A-10, they should definitely give them to Ukraine. Same with the ship the UK is retiring.

[deadname...]

One foot in the grave is more like it.

[mr.v]

I've seen Boris before on Russian state TV.
He was the only one with a little bit of common sense.

A little bit of hope for Russia after all? I would DEFINITELY vote for him if i was Russian. Any Russian here agree?

[AnBS]

How did you call him? Boris Navazin??? 😂😂😂😂 not even close!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Nadezhdin!! Come on CNN! You can do better than this!

[swift_learn]

Don't drink tea for the next few months or go near any windows

[cheshirekittinz]

The destruction and loss of life associated with war has devastating consequences for societies and economies involved.

[ZoveRen]

Cons:
-Easy to misspell the last name
Pros:
+Everything else

[terrencekane]

До Свидания, Господин Надеждин.
Покойся с миром.

[Sliceofthepie]

I can tune in to CNN any time of the day or night and i will learn that i am a racist for driving a ford f-150 and not being a transgender.

*very important deliberations between Ukraine with Russia for end occupation Crimea, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Luhansk. UN plays an important role in facilitating deliberations. All countries should focus on problems of climate change, economy, unemployment now!*

[georgelabottum]

Oh, like that's going to happen. Vlad will invite him over to the palace for a plate of polonium sandwiches.

[stoopidpursun]

Can you imagine living in a country where the president tries to have political opponents thrown in jail and then dictates who is allowed to run against him? I'm glad I live in America where...

Oh...
