Next Zelensky headline: "Vovchansk holds no strategic value"
That that to papa poopin.
Vovchansk is quickly losing its importance🤣
Like ur comment 😂😂😂...
@@Howiex-is8gq like your name
@@ishmaelwatson5535 how original..copy me..😂
@@Howiex-is8gq not like yours was an original either?
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy has the easiest job. Which is lying and lying.
No one suprise 😏
Hard job for an honest person with some character though.
He has toned it down - a bit. He does not talk about Ukrainian resilience anymore.
Its the other way round. Its difficult because you have remember what lies you told earlier.
Bakmut was not strategic 🤔
Nothing is when our side is losing.. Its all just dots on the map as one military expert said..
And also Avdiivka?
Mariuopol, Bachmut and many other places after lost them to the Russians ..no strategic value ...
He said Bakhmut isn't a very big town. He never said it wasn't important. I guess you hear what you want to hear.
When Kiev said they lost, 40% mean they lose 75%
I like it how even their own audience considers these "journalists" a laughing stock.
As opposed to accounts as yours, 1 year old that speak uninterested "global politics".
As opposed to Putin's underlings who lie 24/7
He is telling lies. Bakhmut is a big city. Other towns he is referring to are not small either. Shame on you
Mr Chin telling lies again
Do you suprise 😏
Did you note Mr. Chin's body has shrivelled to an odd shape ?
Why are you contradicting yourselves, yesterday offensive was pushed back, today the falling of the city is imminent. What's wrong with you guys ?
Emperor of lies parading himself as a journalist.
Shameless you reporting lies
Just tell us there was no any offensive.😂
Lying about the reality does not change the reality.
Lies never stop 😂😂😂
More Ukranian land has absolutely no value. All these villages? No value.
That town? No value
They never took it yet. It's only 6 miles from belogorod...
@@Howiex-is8gq they're about to. But don't worry. It's not important
@@AuramiteEX 6 miles from belgorod. And it's right at border. It doesn't have importance....
@@Howiex-is8gq of course not. Ukraine land has no value. Why they keep losing more every day
$61 billions very value
Ukraine war reminds me of the Iraq invasion by US under false justification. At least Russia has a point in not allowing more NATO (US) bases on its borders.
How could people ever thought that Russia would allow NATO (US) to keep building bases on its borders and do nothing?Or that Ukraine could win a war against Russia? Not even with NATO support. In a hypothetical situation, would US allow China or Russia to build bases on its borders? Remember Cuban missiles crisis?
Everything you wrote was know long time ago and repeated multiple time. Nobody gives a sh@t about it😂
@@Rdeki go away
"The United States has military bases in six NATO countries (Germany, Italy, Turkey, Belgium, Netherlands, and Poland). There are a total of 30 NATO member countries. Therefore, the percentage of NATO countries with U.S. bases is:
6/30×100%=20%
So approximately 20% of NATO countries have U.S. military bases."
In a nutshell, Ukrainian NATO membership would not equate to more bases. Your whole argument is flawed.
@@paulmitchell2468 you didn’t answer, would US accept foreign bases on its borders?
Gray zona? You sure? 😂
😂😂😂
😂😂
They like to make themselves feel nice 😅
Look how people's are insulting you in their comments nothing because of your hypocrisy and your bloody lies
"very broad concesus", yeah sounds about right.
That aid package is making progress and is a game changer. We must stop Russian's shovel supply.
He thinks he is a journalist. Liar!
How do you reporting ground reality standing calm and windy location 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The British can lie with the stiff upper lip.
“Just read this..” “but that is not true..” “just read it if you want to get a check..”
North of the river in Vovchansk is now Russian.
1 lie told today will need 1000 lies to sustain it tomorrow
If it's insignificant......why waist human lives there? Just asking
So then Kiev admits it’s lost 40% of Vovchansk.
Mr Chin is very good at comforting people with lies....
This man with stunted growth is a spewer of lies
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He is British.
@@johnadam2885He is French.
France 24, I can´t believe that I gave you a "thumb up" on questioning legitimacy of your favorite president of Ukraine. But, I did it
Scorched earth tactics 😂
Only 2000 RU soldiers are storming Vovchansk, while AFU has rushed 10,000 men to defend it. The reporter is 100% correct (I'm really shocked! for a Western media channel), the point is to tie up more AFU from other areas because they are forced to come defend it. Because RU has a 10 to 1 firepower advantage, they only need a few thousand men, while Ukraine needs five times as many to keep the place from being overrun with ease.
No real changes. The buffer zone is not contiguous
Why wont they ever mention that the goal is a buffer zone? Instead they mention secondary motivations like spreading out Ukraines defence. That is just a bonus but a buffer zone is the goal. But then again, people would understand then that this is Ukraines fault as they were attackiung Belgoorod for months, Putin had to react and the reaction is buffer zone..But me, a nobody, never served in the army knows this but this guy that is paid to know has no clue?
Every captured town is not of strategic importance..
Not "occupied" but liberated territories.
This man Cragg's body seems to have shrivelled. Perhaps the strain of telling lies.
He said that Ukraine had checked Russia's northern attack but he says now 40% of Vovchansk is a grey zone. But it is not important.
reporting doesnt match mapping on the ground
lies
Propaganda can't win War The host I think was not fully informed or forget told something
The reporter deserves awards 😂 in lying 😄🤥
From Kiev in 3 days to ...... Vovchansk in ..... ?
Day one million.
And Russia still in Ukraine!!!
Ans ya still happy because it was supposed to be 3 days!!
From 48 millions to 16 in...?
2 yrs with total $100 billions for rotten defence
"Mason, my friend...Tell me...What is left to believe in, when you are betrayed by your own? When all that you are, all that you have done, is buried beneath the lies and the deceit of corrupt men😂😂😂
Cope on lvl 99999😂
"Correspondents who have been there" is a very good start, along with this reporter being in Ukraine. Excellent reporting France 24 English. Zelenskyy is doing a responsible job. Once Churchill became prime minister, he wasn't ousted until after VE day.
Always lies about everything this is Ukraine now 😂😂
When they start saying that the town is not big or not important, that's a sign that Russia is about to capture the town.
As anyone heard anything about America being at war???
Lord Haw Haw
Vovchansk is gone
Gave this a thumbs up because they forgot to turn the comments off.
It's so funny that they said Robotyne being taken by Ukraine after 4 months of failure and heavy losses was a success & "that they broke thru Ru lines & would retake Crimea" which they just pretend never even happened now that all their gains have been erased as if didn't ever happen .
But now they call a real offensive going well "not a big deal"😂
Nada can stop FABS..😏
What does Russia claim then if the news is about what Ukraine claims?
Is this channel about what Ukraine claims? Then tell us about what Russia claims as well.
Wow I am impressed with all the positive comments from our Russian trolls.
I put my thumb on the thumbnail 2:31 and watched Zelensky impersonate the journalist. He's an excellent actor!
Thank you CZcams for feeding me this slop after I watched real coverage of war. "Analyst consensus confirms that Kharkov is not a goal..." wow, what a breaking news. Also Russian said for months that Kharkov was not a goal, and if ukraine keeps bombing Belgorod they will loose border territory... that news missed him.
Kyiv, not Kiev.
I think it's Kiev actually. That's how I always noticed it was spelled.
We say Kiev because thats how we spell it..Belgrade is not called Beograd and no one cares. I cant demand that foreigners spell my city as they would in my country..
@@Jole30 I think they want everyone to say “Keeeeeeeev”
If russia has 500,000 troops and Ukraine has 1 million. Why does ukraine meed more soldiers and why have i heard them say they are out numbers 7 to 1? 😅
Poo-tin is an accurate verbal and picturesque description of the Russian leader or more exact tsar.
If that is the best you Neo-Conning trolls can achieve, should you not find some fresh insults?
Other towns Russia has try to take 🤔 what
It seems that Russia is learning from Israel ( & the US ) by using Heavy Dumb in the battles in Vovchansk .
Assumes zelensky like Ivan
Eastern Ukraine becomes a land of not strategical value.
I think the person who should have stepped down is potin. putin is the person who is illegally occupying the post of a president.
We believe you
So vovchansk.is not important 😂😂😂
Zelenski is still president? Or his duration is at the end?
France 24 is a WEF public broadcast service.
His swede doesn’t fit his body
My my how can you keep leading your viewers down the garden path your nose is touching my phone screen
Ukraine is still winning.
😂😂😂😂😂😂zzz
The lies are pathetic
“We are winning “, Napoleon in the wood🤣
Hahaha now Russia is retreating forward and Ukrainian offensive backwards......just mentioned the shovels... hahaha
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Gray zone? Xddd
Lies
The language being used has been used b4 when they r about to lose something😂 n
No election only US selection
Dictator
Ohi forgot Ukraine because of Iranian president death and Mew President in Taiwan😅
lie over lie
Weak leader
Emperor protect.
Zelensky dictator for life then cause people who left wont return
Hahaha then y are u murmuring
Volo wanted war. Volo gets war.
Capturing city of Volchansk basically secures the Russian Belgorod region from Ukrainian cross-border attacks. That is not "strategically important", whatever you say, F24.
Zelensky western puppet
Congratulations themselves 😂😂😂😂😂… another lies that they stop Russia 😂😂😂
Russia is an absolute embarrassment Go sit down somewhere. Russia people couldn't fight their way out of a paper sack
And you still cant win..What does that tell me about you guys?
@@Jole30 look up the number of soldiers that each country lost last year.
