Take care of yourself. You are precious.
The American people are with Ukraine. How our politicians thought it would ever be a good idea to support Putin is something I do not understand. I have never heard anyone suggest that Ukraine started the war, and I have never heard anyone suggest that Russia could be the good guys before Trump suggested it. Any officials who support Trump and Vance's stance on this war have gone against the people's wishes and views for no discernable, potential reasoning outside the most terrifying; that Putin somehow has a grasp on our leaders. And the only American citizens who would be against Ukraine are fools who believe in the strange and arbitrary lies of those leaders.
What about the billions they can't account for 😆
When asked if he can make do without the support of the United States, he fought back tears of despair and fear. Shame on the US government for not doing the right thing.
It's not about Russia what Ukraine president doesn't understand is when you loose it's time to stop he said it himself you have literally lost 200,000 people total just stop give them some land and ceasefire the end
I'm tired of giving them my tax dollars I'm sorry it's gone on to long
Nice. Trump got it right
Jealously
STOP TRUMP NOW
The world will be a better place once him and Putin are gone.
Frump & Friends do not speak for all Americans! Many of us know very well that we are being fed lies – by our own administration as well as by Russia. Slava Ukraini!
Don't let politicians fools you, he works for Russia.
Even though trump said that. atleast he is acknowledging that the war should stop at all cost not like biden and all other snowflakes who want to continue to fund the war
Now wanting to legalize pornography to fill the governments tax jar
Ukraine is not an innocent nation, is corrupt. But regardless I don’t believe it is right to judge a nation for defending themselves against invasion, and expecting them to surrender territory of their nation is absurd
The IMF did whatever it could to forestall a devaluation of the ruble, fearing that a devaluation of the ruble, fearing that a devalued ruble would rekindle hyperinflation. The IMF approved a loan for 22.6 billion, to be paid in installments, to the bailout. The corrupt countries in the world, at first refused to be party to the bailout. The WB viewed the loan as throwing good money after bad, and it believed that Russia should figure out a way to generate revenue legally from its wealth of natural resources, rather than continuing to rely on handouts.
Despite the obvious signs of collapse, US. Banks continued to pour money into Russia. The impetus for this action had less to do with saving the Russia economy than it did with padding the banks’ bottom line. In situations such as this, “moral hazard” arises. Moral hazard is the lender’s incentive to make ill-conceived loans to a debtor nation based on the under-standing that, no matter how dire the country’s economic conditions get, the IMF will bail the lender out. Thus, the assurance that the IMF will always come to the rescue with millions or billions in loans if the borrowing country defaults encourages foreign banks to make loans they would otherwise not even consider.
Three weeks after the IMF loan began to be paid, Russia announced that it would cease payment on its debt and that it would devalue the ruble. The value of ruble declined, and by January 1999, it had lost 75 percent of its value. The Russian announcement resulted in a worldwide financial crisis. Interest rates on loans to LDCs soared; even growing developing nations had trouble attracting investment. Meanwhile, within only a few weeks, the Russian oligarchs had appropriated the billions in IMF money and stashed it safely in their personal bank accounts abroad. It was not only Russia Klepto-capitalists who benefited from IMF’s actions; Western banks made out handsomely from IMF bailout money.
Na dan pobede kijev treba postati pepeo. Živeo Car Vladimir Vladimirovič Putin sila.
Oh my god, a dictator calling one of the most respected man a dictator. Watching this hurts. THE REAL DICTATOR blew it.
I feel like he's blaming us for Russia murdering their people. How dont they have weapons?? What about other European countries?? What about all the other countries in NATO? Wasn't his wife in Cali on vacation shopping on Rodeo Drive?? Or was that BS?
Why does every country expect us to save them???
From a Kiwi (NZ) in Kharkov on a visit, the people here are suffering beyond what is being shown. I am talking to general people, working people. Trump doesn't have a clue, he repeats Russian propaganda, makes me sick!!!
Lastima en ingles no español
An actor/comedian became one of the most important people and presidents in our lives and history (Zelenskyy). Then again, another so-called president (Trump) who became a joke and destroyed the USA and its image.
Mr Zelenski you have my respect
Remember when trump promised: "I will end the war immediately. I will get it done while I'm President Elect."
That was – over 7 months ago. We're still waiting Donald….
Hero
No one donated anything to Ukraine. The winner owes it all to the USA. It's actually a double win for us when it comes to money.
trump is putin puppet never trust a big liar
dont invite trump he dosent care for his owned people in America he dosent care for no one but him
@JayciferJJ Yr name rhymes with Lucifer, I hope there is no association. Be careful bcs thats the other reason why Putin is defending HOLY RUSSIA against Zelensky and the west who have bowed down to him.
We back You Putin for apposing the evil from the world .
I'm not pro Russian but you have to look why some reason why this war started before 2014. Your not talking about how Putin was lied to. First he wanted to join NATO they said I don't think that would be a good idea. NATO told Putin how bout this NATO won't go any father than Germany and then what happened NATO moved past that agreement. Now let that sink in if the united States was told this country won' move it's forces or anything towards the united States. Do you think the united States wouldn't put forces at its border to keep what ever country from coming closer to it's border. So Russia was lied to cause what NATO told them they won't move any closer to it's border any closer than Germany. So they where lied to and there other things they where lied to about.And now and then Ukraine wanted to join NATO . That would put NATO on Russia border when they where told it wouldn't move NATO any closer than Germany. That's what started that war
And they Ukraine causes those bombing in the school and hospital and where civilians are . When you put soilders and weapons in schools and hospitals what do you expect the enemy to do. What makes me upset Ukraine uses its civilian to protect there soilders and then get mad cause Russia bomd those school or hospitals and civilian areas and buildings . Thats wrong you dont use your civilian to hope the enemy wont fire upon your soldiers and then complain about hitting your civilians . Its upsetting wrong to the Ukraine people that there military dose that

Chega guerra Ucrânia
😂
The world stage is brutal , and even sincere leaders can be left cornered by the agendas of larger powers.
Trump and his cabinet are putin"s puppets.
Nato step in russian teritory
Ask Zelensky why he continues to refuse to implement compulsory inscription. The Ukrainian army is depleted. Zelensky continues to surrender more Ukraine territory, more Ukrainian villages, more innocent Ukrainians. Ukrainian army is less than 100,000 soldiers. Ukrainian men refuse to enlist – they're cowards. And Zelensky refuses conscription. As such, Putin has no incentive to negotiate a cease fire or end the war. He has the upper hand. And he will not stop until he has all Ukraine. But Putin is not interested in any other country. Zelensky's ongoing claims that Putin won't stop with Ukraine as false narratives. He's fear-mongering. He's trying to guilt other nations into supporting Ukraine. The only solution is for Zelensky to call up 300,000 soldiers now. But he won't. It's not a popular decision in Ukraine and Zelensky wants to be re-elected. He's putting his political career ahead of the needs of Ukraine. The US and EU support Ukraine, they don't support Zelensky.
Ukraine attacks at every enemy with bullets and explosives, reminding other ways of attacks as well as disabling weapon systems or just simply destroying it
Putin will get zalensky
President trump is right
