  1.  @DRKrust492  I feel Transnistria has some legitimacy, having been established about the same time as modern Moldova was established. However it is real tempting to just invade (with Moldova's agreement) and rid that border of Russians. Also, the stockpile of Russian munitions held in Transnistria could be very helpful to Ukraine.

  3. Temporary peace - at any price. No thanks. Trump, you can stick your extortion where the sun doesn't shine.

  5. I hope the Gulf States promise fuel supplies but then fail to deliver - a bit like German military supplies to Ukraine.

  8.  @shans4167  They didn't fire on themselves. They know exactly where their own troops are so they made sure to fire somewhere else on the site. Ask yourself, why would Ukraine fire on their own citizens working at the plant (probably at gunpoint) and risk a nuclear meltdown that could make half of Ukraine uninhabitable. Then ask yourself why Russia might fire on the plant - to attempt to discredit Ukraine. What would the Russians care if there was a nuclear incident in a country far from Moscow.

  9.  @danielobrien8417  Russian troll. You're jumping the gun. This war is showing Russia's weaknesses, and the west will not help Russia rebuild when this war is over.

  10. @kudi If you can't string a sentence together in English you should stick to commenting in your native tongue - Russian.

  11.  @mgronich948  Paranoid russian thinking.

  12.  @guystokesable  I have done so, and I can assure you that russia's attacks on Ukraine are unprovoked.

  13.  @cjelder8321  Except that it's Russia that is shelling the ZPP. You'd have to be a bit dim not to realise that.

  14. ​ @TheYoutubeUser69  If China gets the east coast of Russia back, it might take its attention off Taiwan (a territory that was never China's).

  15. Except that Russia doesn't know the meaning of "negotiate".

  18. Logistics. Ukraine can only move about 10% by land compared to by sea. Also it costs more to send by land. It will be cheaper by land when Ukraine changes it's railways from "Russian gauge" to European "Standard" gauge as it will no longer need to be transhipped at the border - but still it will cost more by land than by sea. Any many poorer nations can't afford to pay much more.

  19.  @yvonnerahmes9618  Yes. It's very important that any aggressor is not rewarded for their aggression.

  20.  @aeye9772  I think you'll find that it's Russia that is the provocateur.

  21. No, it hasn't been about money. Trump is now making it about money.

  22.  @vervetech9395  Callous people with no moral compass don't care. The rest of use do. Slava Ukraini.

  23.  @СергейМонин-д7с  Yes Russia always makes more demands, more threats, and uses more weapons. But one day justice will come and Russia will pay.

  24.  @bernardchan4090  Ukraine did NOT brutalise Crimea - that's just what Russian television tells you. The rest of your points are off topic - but what about Russia.

  25. God save Ukrainians from Russia. And could he also please save Ukrainians from poor American pronunciation - Kherson has a silent 'K' you Know, as does Kharkiv. Slava Ukraini.

  26.  @felipe-vibor  Russia is far more aggressive than USA, UK or NATO as a whole. Of these, only Russia invades other countries for the purpose of building a "greater" nation. Only Russia invades to annex territory for itself. Only Russia kills hundreds of thousands of people for its own "glory".

  27. He was a very good comedian. And now he's a very good leader. Slava Ukraini.

  28. There is only one country "making efforts to escalate this conflict". That country is Russia. If Russia pulls its troops from Ukraine today, this conflict will immediately de-escalate. Silly Russian troll.

  29. ​@VadimRadtchenko Yes I trust Zelensky - far more so than Putin, Trump, Orban, or the leader of my own country.

  30. I wonder if Lukashenko will take a pair of handcuffs with him tomorrow? He could apprehend an alleged war criminal. 😅

  31. Roads and rail can only shift ~10% of the grains available for export - and at a much higher cost.

  32.  @springbloom5940  No, it's what to say to a silly Russian troll who is presenting false information and knows it is false.

  34. ​ @hamadsebaduka  Afghanistan isn't in Ukraine either.

  35.  @SPIDERM0OSE  Yes, I want even more interactions with Ukraine, and even less with the aggressor, Russia.

  36.  @SPIDERM0OSE  On Ukraine working towards being a responsible member of the world. And Russia being an irresponsible fascist state.

  37. Europe can buy all the grain it needs. It is Africa and Asia that is vulnerable.

  38.  @startracksha  Why are you not on a frontline?

  39. I was thinking along similar lines. I'm sure Ukraine could provide AA stations (and probably has now), I was thinking along the lines of a NATO Patriot battery protecting Bulgarian airspace, and extending over the Danube.

  40. ​ @proudlyafrican3373  I don't believe the Afgans or Iraqis are involved in this war. Please keep to the discussion.

  41.  @auweia5024  It means getting rid of Pootin's influence (preferably including his departure from this world)

  42.  @auweia5024  Pootin falling out a window, being poisoned, or being executed after a revolt, would all achieve a loss of his (minor) influence in China.

  43.  @auweia5024  I have not even mentioned China. Maybe you should answer your question. But why would you want to assassinate Xi anyway? He is not evil like Pootin is.

  44.  @proudlyafrican3373  They aren't part of discussion about the Russian attacks on Ukraine. Afghanistan and Iraqi are part of this world, just like Tierra del Fuego or the Canary Islands. But equally irrelevant to the Russian war.

  45.  @BLMVDV  All of which are available to see on Russian television. But only fools believe what they see on Russian television. You do know that the POWs were killed by a Russian thermobaric weapon don't you.

  46.  @srdj23Q  Bollocks. Stay away from that Russian television, it'll brainwash you.

  47.  @viaceslavmikhailovich9825  You've been watching Russian television again. Ask yourself, why does Russia arrest and jail anyone who says Russia has gone to war; anyone who says Russian's are dying in significant numbers? Why is any opinion that does not back the Russian narrative banned? Because Russia is hiding the truth - and you are believing what Russia is telling you. You need to get out more.

  48.  @davidrodriguezcastaner3931  It's now been confirmed that the plant was supplying power to Ukrainian held territory. It's also been confirmed that no Russian soldiers were killed or injured, but one Ukrainian technician was injured. That's because the Russian spotters at the plant would have told the Russian artillery where to shoot. The major damage was to the power supply to Ukrainian held territory. So it was obviously a Russian attack.
    1
  49.  @masakitonguba8919  That's one possibility. Another possibility is Russia did it and blames Ukraine for sympathy. But that only one of many things pointing to it being a Russian attack.
    1
  50.  @masakitonguba8919  Of course it makes sense. Why would Ukraine attack its own workers at the plant? Why would Ukraine risk a nuclear disaster that might make half of Ukraine uninhabitable? Why would Ukraine take out the electrical transmission line that lead to Ukrainian occupied territory? Now ask yourself the same questions about Russia. Russia wouldn't attack its own troops because it was the troops at the plant directing the attack. Did any Russians get wounded or killed? No, it was a Ukrainian worker that got wounded. Why would Russia risk attacking a nuclear plant? Why would they care what happens in a country far from Moscow (that they're already trying to smash). Why would Russia take out transmission lines to Ukrainian territory? Why wouldn't they. There are just so many reasons why Russia WOULD attack the plant and so few why Ukraine would. Of course if you're a Russian troll you would only support the Russian statement. Are you?
