- As Russian forces launched new offensive operations in the north of Kharkiv Oblast on May 10, Vovchansk, a town only some five kilometers (three miles) south of the Russian-Ukrainian border, has come under heavy strikes. The Kyiv Independent joined local police on their mission to evacuate civilians from Vovchansk on May 11 - an operation that was constantly interrupted by Russian launches of aerial gliding bombs.

Why are the students and the world not protesting this BS here in the US on college campuses?
Because the vast majority of Americans are in agreement regarding supporting Ukraine.
Because they're dumb liberals. They really have no clue what they're doing or talking about. They would rather praise terrorists..
Israel support russia instead of ukraine
@@ismiismael , no, not exactly. In March of 2022, Israel joined 140 other countries at the UN General Assembly in a resolution formally condemning Russia. The following month, it joined 93 countries in voting to boot Russia off the UN Human Rights Council. However, Israel has been attempting to remain neutral by not joining in sanctions or sending weapons. But Israel has sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine. They’re trying to straddle the fence, or sit in two chairs at the same time (as I hear Russians say).
Are you comparing this to the level of civilian carnage in Gaza?. You are way off base dude.

7 words: Should have stuck to the Minsk agreement.
You don't know shit about minsk agreement nor about how it happened really, russian troll. Nor you care, really
It was Russia which refused to say it was involved in the conflict from 2014, and refused to oblige the Minsk Agreements. It was also Russia who failed to adhere to the Budapest Memorandum, among their other flagrant violations of international law.
Your shitty country is a mafia which can hardly be called civilised.
Bingo…!

Russia should've stayed out of Ukraine, I agree.
Godbless Ukraine, Dont Give Up.

Absolutely heartbreaking to watch. "War is hell"... indeed.
Thank you very much for this video,
No military targets. Only civilians.
LOL
It's literally the front lines. There are military personnel everywhere. Just because there also are civilians still left doesn't mean there are not military there. It was a losing war from the start, they could've had peace after the first 2 weeks, but Zelensky decided to follow his American and British partners advice instead. I don't think an ethnic Ukrainian President would've made the same choice.
@@DunDeeoZno they could not have a peace. If you like to be Putin’s salve that’s in you. Unlike subordinate Russian slaves who can’t even protest against their dictator Putin or his war they are fighting for their country.

The only reason the war continues is because the wealthy of Europe and North America insist they profit from what they took from people to pay for.
Is it that Ukraine must have refrained from attacking Russian civilians close to the border?

This would have not even started if Ukraine would have complied with Minsk and Minsk 2 agreements, which it never did.

@@spao9411 You're not telling the truth, it's not true. According to the Minsk agreements, Ukraine had to withdraw weapons from Donbass and take them back into its composition. But Zelensky refused to do this and simply continued to shell Donbass. I can provide plenty of video evidence. The OSCE monitoring group also recorded the attacks in 2022. There are reports on her website. Russia was obliged to introduce its peacekeeping contingent under the Minsk agreements. Germany and France were also supposed to do this, but they refused. Russia introduced peacekeeping troops at the end of February 2022. They had no orders to open fire.. But all of them were destroyed by the Ukrainian army. Therefore, Russia was forced to launch a military operation to protect Donbass. There are people living there who have Russian citizenship, citizens of Russia.
