These people are cracked … “Putin knows what he’s doing” as you rely on foreign troops for food and security since they occupy land Putin is supposed to govern.
“You blame us for everything anyway”…. Umm… it wasn’t troops Ghana, Nepal, or the Bahamas that invaded Ukraine ..now was it ? Do we blame you for the hot summer , toe fungus and the ending of Game of thrones ?? No, we don’t… but for invading Ukraine … yea, we pretty much blame that all on you
Rusia 25% de Ucrania. vs Ucrania 0000000000000000000000001% Kurts
So basically these Ukrainian troops serve no purpose but were used as a PR stunt. Ukraine is in a desperate fight for survival and the army is holding almost empty land just so they can say "look over here" bring your cameras, while their soldiers are dying in the hundreds every day inside there own territory. This was a bad idea.
Been taken?
Kursk is now a hotzone you'll never get in without seeing drones or rockets flying.
Warrant of arrest for being in Russia illegally coming.
lol and this is European media 😂😂
What a journalism it is? When are you going to stop your false narratives? Shame!
Keep joking we all understand your joke’s
russians are sooooo dumb
Ukraine is winning
What i learn from this video is that Russian love and trust Putin,they believe in him and you would never take that from him
DW ! are you down to this ?? Really ?
The west continues to be aggressive to the world we are not blind
Putin is already Finished…!
Ukraine is now Stronger than ever before…!
That means Russians love their president and elections were never rigged! Shocking indeed after listening to western propaganda all the time about unpopular Putin and Russians being unhappy with this war! Viva Russia!
Russia is showing the world that it is not under anyone's global dominance. The world should learn from this. Americans and the Europeans are in denial of losing the old colonial ways.
When was this last month?!
What are they still doing in Kursk while their president is asking the UN to enforce a ceasefire onto Russia?
Ddnt they get a memo that Kursk is a futile exercise?
Which Ukraine controlled Russia
You trying to hard to convince everyone that Ukraine can control anything
don't trust them, they only see what's on Z TV. no independent mentality. brainwashed for years
The Russian population do not see Ukrainian soldiers as enemies but rather as brothers who have been misled by a bad neighbor with bad motives in thsi case the West. The West just lie this journalist arevtrying to hard to drive a wedge between the two people who have together for over 300 years. As day follows night they will fail. The regime will go but the bond of brother hood will stay. It will even be far much more strong than ever before.. This war is a tragedy ..and one of the political leadership has to go for the other to clean up the mess.
Why not showing a report from a area of Ukraine that is proudly hold by the Russian army?! And why would the Russian civilians trust the Ukrainians?!
Poor fellas dying for US intrest😂😂
Orcs are surprised that Ukrainians are still in kurs 😅😅😅😅 this is what happened when you only take your news in RT 😅😅😅 welcome to reality orcs the oblasts of kurs belongs to ukraine forever now that is the reality SLAVA UKRAINI
Ukrainian is already surrounded and started to retreat in kursk!
Why Russia has not arrested this shameless reporter who is entering a country illegally. I guess western hypocrisy.
It feels like they will be chased out later
The 60 year old AFU in Vuhledar were ordered to stay until after Zelenskys meeting with Biden tomorrow, whether they are alive or not…
❤Ukrainians ❤
At least Ukrainian soldiers treat Russian civilians well verses how Russian soldiers have treated Ukrainian civilians.
According to Kremlin propaganda almost almost the Ukrainian troops have been wiped out. And yet Russia can't dislodge this last remaining Spartan! Something doesn't add up.
We don't hear Ukraine is advancing in Kursk again! The journalist did not show us were they used to show us in the past.
fake news,it's in Ukraine, from the interview I suspect it's a setup, basic western media
But they only control few villages. Not even the main city. 😂
Game changer
Be careful….thank you for the coverage…
i like this russian patriotism
Hard to report the truth
Ukraine controlled??😂😂😂😂
Frace must have no problem with Russian journalists crossing french border without authorisation from the french government.
Putin is Putin, he's a great guy❤️🙏🇷🇺
They're trying to brain wash the people against Putin.
This is a PR stunt that won't last much longer.
Western propaganda
Come on 😂. Go to Gaza too
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇫🇷🇺🇸
The soldiers there are trembling, the lions will meet them…
