Two embittered Soviet (Ukrainian and Tajik) emigres with long-standing historical/ancestral grudges and a brain-dead NAFOid. Can't wait

Stopped listening to you after your ridiculous and shameful retort to your Zelensky interview. You had your ten minutes of fame a few years ago. Over now. Bye bye.

This is a long and grinding war of attrition and Ukraine is definitely NOT doing well. When the Russians are burning through 4 times more artillery shells, bombes, drones, missiles…etc, how can the undermanned, undertrained and under equipped Ukrainians “do well”? Just asking.

Ukraine should have negotiated years ago. Every day is delaying the inevitable for greater loss.

Zelensky is a criminal. His entire inner circle is a mafia, an organized criminal group. They steal millions even during wartime, while the mafia thrives under their rule. They are all directly connected to the criminal underworld. Bandits: youtube.com/watch?v=rwMNS7vF…

What’s “war in Ukraine”? What’s that supposed to mean? Did you mean “Russo-Ukrainian war”?

This guy, who was nice to Zelenskyy's face during interview then started speaking bad about him when he didn't get his precious interview with a invading murderer Putin. That interview with Putin was never going to happen.

Why would anyone waste their time on this? Preston is clearly a pro-war/NAFO idiot.

Mark Rutte stated that Europe benefits from the continuation of the Russian-Ukrainian war because, while Russia is occupied with the war in Ukraine, Europe has time to prepare its army for a possible invasion. Europe does not want the war to end and opposes peace negotiations.

Zelensky is defending the interests of the EU, not Ukraine. And the EU finances the Ukrainian budget. They are literally paying Zelensky to continue the war, and he is more than happy to oblige. Meanwhile, Ukraine's energy system is being destroyed, and the mafia is thriving.

One country has their men hiding in homes from being thrown in a van to go to the front. The other is not even mobilizing. One is begging the world for help, the other is not even fully in a war economy. That’s the reality no matter how many retard nafos tell you different

📽 Five weeks of russian terror in a 57-second video. This is what everyday life looks like for ordinary people in Ukraine today. A glimpse of what we go through, day after day.

> Total collapse across the Ukrainian defensive lines > Total lack of Ukrainian air defenses allowing Russia to conventionally bomb Odessa > Total collapse of Ukrainian logistics and power grid > Russian production and recruitment at record levels > Zelensky won’t return to Kiev “We can’t tell who is winning, either side could win”
