Here’s what others had to say:
@OldGuy2-m4c
No elections in Ukraine because the dead will be counted when they don’t VOTE.
@rafaszopa2955
Well, Budanov said that ukr needs at 30.000 troops per month to keep the front lines, so indirectly it confirms what tusk said.
@frikkiebotes3951
42000 per month with 2,5 million dead and wounded in ukraine.
@Proletariat-u8o
SO no sanctions on Israel or the USA but sanctions on Russia, I say NEVER stop this war until Ukraine is finished, nothing left.
@JPRolls-r8n
The Russians would be doing the populations of the EU countries, the UK and USA a favour by ignoring the ‘human shield’ of warmonger leaders. If Boris Johnson had been blown up last week, you’d have heard the cheers from the UK in Siberia.
@bak2back
Ukraine is getting hammered but still refuses every decent peace offering. There’s stupid and then there’s Ukrainian stupid.
@63Vaso
Feel sorry for Ukraine people who are dying for NATO proxy war against Russia. As well NATO countries using Ukrainian people to fighting brothers and sisters of Slavic. Same happened in Yugoslavia my country. NATO and allies organised civile war’s between Slavic people 1991-2001. Yugoslavia was destroyed and 40% people left country forever.
@aZebroadcast
But the EU and the UK have, after all, promised to fight and demanded that Ukraine stand its ground until the very last Ukrainian. Then they’re going to flood Ukraine with mass immigration and take full control of the country—exactly as they’re doing in the rest of Europe.
@Sal-j8e6r
EU taxpayers protesting in the streets.
Less American support
Unsustainable troop losses
It’s time for Ukraine to surrender the East
The railroad connections and locomotives are doomed.
The electric blackouts are spreading.
@latinasTubeTv
Translation Tusk Words: Ukraine/Nato is losing 40.000-50.000 troops per month.
@Nobilangelo
Poland has only one tusk. Apart from that, it’s toothless.
@reggosse3901
Who starts wars, kills unborn and old people, steals your wealth and takes your freedom? That’s right Big government. Small government necessary, big government always evil. Vote only for people willing to downsize and dismantle government and pass it on.
@alanjones8810
Putin shouldn’t play their games.
If foreign diplomats go to assist in the killing of Russia.
They should not expect any mercy.
These type of people are happy to see Russians, Ukrainians,
And even their own people, but they won’t be so happy if it’s them or their family’s.
@pietsee1000
4:19 it is VERY DANGEROUS for Zelenskyy to hold elections during WAR. Dangerous for Zelenskyy, because he will lose the election, then who knows what happens to him? Jail? Crimes against humanity because as a puppet he does what Mi6 and city of London, tell him what to do, he does what is best for city of London, not UKRAINE.
@latinasTubeTv
Deep attack inside Russia…650 drones….0 damages. Wow! What an attack bro!!! And no, there is no war in Russia. Sorry to tell you. Life here in Moscow is much better than in 2022.
@latinasTubeTv
Funny also is those who believe (as Dima) that European leaders come to Ukraine by train hahahaha, and freeely…no boy, they call Russia in advance, and set a path for planes to arrive in Lvov, and from there, to kiev. It is sooooo funny to read about trains and so hahaha. Regards from moscow.
@leicestersq1
Horrendous figures from Tusk. Does anyone think that joining NATO is worth the cost of those lives? Of course it isnt. Sadly those behind the war dont feel the pain and just see our lives as numbers on a spreadsheet.
@katesisco
This is the third time in our livng living history that Ukraine has been emptied of Ukrainians. Can we go back to a world with enclaves of ethnicity instead of the US promoted ‘separate country for every different opinion?”
@darrellwhitman1962
In 1864, the third year of the American Civil War, the U.S. held a national election with battles raging within earshot of Washington, D.C., Union troops pushing into Georgia, and President Lincoln issuing an Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves in the South. Lincoln was reelected and the war ended a few months later, reuniting North and South. Elections in Ukraine are not only possible, but necessary to open a door to ending this horrible war.
@NormanMoffatt-t7k
So Ukraine sends drones to the Kremlin and a countryside residence to murder the Russian president but expects Russia to hold off when Ukraine puts up human shields.
@hankogle6858
There was a time when the soldiers had to tell their leaders not to put themselves in danger. Today leaders sit in other save countries and tell their soldiers to fight until they are no more. We live in a world where the cowards lead the western world.
@privateer9181
They started with 900k troops…they drafted about 1.7 million..they have 800k troops now…thats 1.7 million casualties and desertions….also…conscripts desert as soon as they can..nor do they hold ground well…Ukraine is out of volunteers..who fight well…to be honest the best strategy russia can have is leaflets to Ukrainian troops to surrender then treat them very very well…even worse for ukraine..when these men r released after the war…they will be angry at zelensky…for continueing this war beyond the failed whisper offensive in 23.
@2fathomsdeeper
A country can only afford to lose 10% of its population in a war. Beyond that, the country is lost. At the start, Ukraine had a population of 22 million. They can only afford to lose 2.2 million. I think they’re already at that number! Zelensky is going to go the same way as Hitler.
