@vervetech9395 Figures for russian exports for 2024 aren't in yet (so your blatantly lying hard to make yourself feel better). However figures for 2023 show a 26% decline over 2022.

@vervetech9395 Assuming your figure of $192b is correct, that's a further ~60% decline for 2024 over 2023.

@ZoZo-st2ts Your figure of UKR casualties is WAY off. And if russia captures Ukraine the figures will be much higher, as evidenced by russia's treatment of Ukrainians in occupied territories.

@vervetech9395 So how are your IELTS tests going? Still at a very basic level?

 @vervetech9395 You don't even know that russia has been lying to you for years.

@makiavelli6101 "It doesn't take six people to secure sixty five locked up prisoners". Actually it was six crew and three guards. Yet on previous prisoner exchanges there were 20 guards. I think you know nothing about transporting prisoners.

@apex9806 "What is there to speculate here?" ruzzian supplied propaganda. It always needs verifying. "Ukraine is not refusing to have shot it down WITHIN ruzzian territory" It great to know that Ukraine can down ruzzian planes over ruzzian territory. It's about time ruzzia got the taste of it's own medicine. "you've got to have ridiculous ego and ignorance to not see the incompetence on the part of the ruzzian MoD. Incompetent as heck". There, I fixed it for you.

@apex9806 "I think it was going from one end of Belgorod to the other". The rest of us think it was going from Belgorod to Moscow. I wonder why you think it wasn't?

@mmazourov Your sources are not very good. You source that Ukraine "continued" causing deaths to ruzzian speakers but failed to mention that ruzzia also continued doing the same. You fail to mention the hundredfold increase in casualties to ruzzian speakers since ruzzia invaded in 2022. You fail to mention that such casualties would have not occurred had ruzzia not caused dissension in Donbas in 2014 and then armed the dissenters, and then sent in troops to cause more casualties.

@mmazourov Not as odd as you inverting the events and believing ruzzian propaganda.

@mmazourov "it was not Russian army that did the fighting - it was the people of Donbass". Only partially true. Initially it was not the ruzzian army. But it was the ruzzian FSB that sent provokateurs into Ukraine to sow dissent. It was the ruzzian FSB that then sent weapons into the Donbas to arm the dissenters they generated. Then the ruzzian army was sent in. All in 2014.

@mmazourov "When people in Odessa tried to do the same they were burned alive by the nationalists in the trade unions building". I'm not saying this was justified, but these were not nice people who were in the building. They were mostly ruzzian provocateurs and ruzzian agents - and other people who were trying to induce a civil war - as occurred in Donbas. Unlike Mariupol where ruzzia deliberately bombed a theatre containing around 600 women and children. That was after deliberately bombing a maternity hospital. And yet you support ruzzia.

@mmazourov "15,000 people have died under Minsk on both sides between 2014 and 22". Under Minsk? I think Minsk died when ruzzia failed to comply with it. 15,000 is an exageration. I believe the figure is closer to 14,000 with 3400 being civilians - the rest military. Compare that to the tens of thousands of ruzziuan speaking and ethnic ruzzian civilians who have died since the invasion of 2022. All as a direct result of Putin's aggression.

@mmazourov "There is a Kyiv Independent interview with Hollande where he unambiguously states that he agrees with Merkel in Die Zeit that Minsk was a way to stop UKR army being destroyed and allowing them to rearm". And.... ? Minsk was never implemented by either side. But any country has the right to arm itself against real or perceived threats from other countries. Why would you deny Ukraine that right?
1
@mmazourov "I am saying that what YOU know about this war is very one-sided". In which case you are wrong. I've heard most of the arguements for both sides and I have come to the conclusion that there was no justification whatsoever for ruzzia's interference in Ukraine prior to 2014; no justification whatsoever for ruzzia's continued interference and invasion in 2014 - 2021; and no justification for russia's full scale invasion and attempted overthrow of the lawful Ukrainian government in 2022. It seems very obvious that one side is in the wrong in this war, and so I have taken to support "one-side".

@mmazourov "Lastly in the deaths of Russian speakers after February 2022: RU command doesn't share their intelligence with me, but I understand that the US invested $5bn in arming and training UKR forces". Firstly I reiterate: Any country has the right to arm itself to defeat any threat, perceived or real. I believe the UK also contributed to Ukraine's ability to defend itself against attack from foreign nations after 2014. Lastly I reiterate: It is obvious that the deaths of ruzzian speakers since 2022 has increased exponentially. The bombing and shelling of the city of Mariupol, for example - a city of over 400,000 to a rubble with 95% of it's resindential buildings damaged or destroyed, has resulted in the elimination of tens of thousands of civilians - almost all of whom were russian speakers and/or ethnic russians. This number will have been increased by ruzzian shelling of evacuating civilian vehicles - ruzzia made it as dangerous as possible for civilians to evacuate - including the shelling of negotiated "safe" corridors. Fatalities were further increased by the deliberate bombing of hospitals - including the well known bombing of a maternity hospital. And by the bombing of the theatre - clearly marked "children". Then there are the injuries and fatalities to both ruzzian and Ukrainian troops - the former entirely ruzzian speaking or ethnic ruzzian - the latter including a significant percentage of russian speakers. These are the very people Putin said he wanted to protect - but well over half a million are now injured maimed or fatally wounded.

What rubbish. Ukraine did not invade Russia. Russia DID invade Ukraine. Ukraine did turn away from Russia, but there's no way that justifies invasion, annexation, war or "special operations". Russia is a war mongering nation.

I didn't realise Putin was on drugs?

I can't watch anymore. A comedian verses two complete clowns. Slava Ukraini.

 @ZoZo-st2ts Ukraine will join NATO, and the US will get the boot.

 @GavinGas No, that won't end it.

@briancarno8837 Ukraine is attacking ruzzian targets in Crimea all the time.

Slava Ukraini, and slava Palestine.

Thanks because this video is about the sinking of a ruzzian ship - and it wasn't sunk in Avdiivka. If you want a a report on Avdiivka, go watch a video about Avdiivka. Whataboutism.

I don't know why we even bother to talk to people like him. I mean, we know he's not going to answer honestly. If Russia has so much right on its side, why all the censorship in Russia. If they knew they were in the right they'd surely share what's happening with their people. Ukraine does (sure with an element of bias/propaganda), but Russia won't admit their casualties, won't admit their destruction; won't admit their atrocities, won't even admit they're at war. Plonkers.
