[DavidGonzalez-lujz]

I can't believe my eyes and ears!!
If anyone would have told me Ukraine would be in Russian territory I would have never believed it. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 💪🙏🙌

Putin will have to resort to his strongest tactic, riding a horse shirtless.

[DanaVastman]

Ukraine is merely validating Putin's statement that Russia has no borders 😭😂🇺🇸💞🇺🇦💕🌻

[turdferguson]

With their entire military on offense, they left no one to protect their own territory.

Putin: " wait a minute... I thought we were invading Ukraine 😐 ..."

We finally see the logic of Putin’s logic of invading Ukraine in the first place, to prevent Ukraine from conquering Russian territory. 😂

Have you seen how young the Russian “soldiers” captured in Kursk? Kids

[hood_TheJoker]

Putin can't put the Ukraine military on a doomed helicopter...

[pasisundqvist]

Well, Russia wanted buffer zones, now Ukraine is helping them to get those… so why the sour face?

[josephziegler]

I forget which presidential candidate called Purim’s invasion “genius?”

[davidorth]

Soon, Ukraine will be responsible for Guarding Lenin's Toumb....

[Plus_Minus_Null]

Russia has lost so much because of five-time-elected President Putin. Russia should be offered to hand over Putin in return for preventing something worse from happening.

Putin is getting exactly what he asked for. It's the Russian people that deserve better leadership. Ukraine and Russian people BOTH need to take their respective countries back.

[Andrew-qwf]

Kadyrovs men really helped out ukraine with russias border 💙💛

[docremington]

I admire McFaul, but can we get the terms straight please? Putin doesn’t carpet bomb to liberate… He carpet bombs to subdue and illegally annex! McFaul should know better than ignore the power of words.

[windorsolarplease]

It saddens me that there has been so much killing and destruction. I just would like to see everyone go into their own corners and live peacefully. No progress in their Countries can be made with fighting. No more invasions, but peace.

Georgia should see this as an opportunity
