      @@mariettayaton2919 the people of Donbas have been murdered due to their Russian ethnicity by the vile Nazi Azov battalion. Over 12000 civilians have been slaughtered since 2014. It is very sad to see Ukraine tearing down monuments and calling Bandera a hero. He was a Nazi collaborator who murdered his own people. The Russians, men and women, mums and dads, teenagers died to rid Ukraine of Nazi occupation. 27 million. I don't think Zelensky could control them if he tried. Russia's people are not Nazis. The Russians take Nazism very seriously. Happy Victory Day! I pray these brothers can remember the common destiny they share and realize NATO and the USA are using them.

He never fought like this brave man..,yet the may 9th celebrated day was a mockery…all those “veterans “ who have believed him, standing to shake his hand? Would they have done so if they had seen and heard this wonderful old gentleman?

Provide solid proof that the Russians are shelling residential areas, not areas that have been damaged by heavy artillery battles but purposeful shelling, because there's plenty of evidence of indiscriminate shelling by Ukrainian azov and right sector forces, not to mention the use of residential areas as human shields with weapons and ammunition have being found in apartments, schools and hospitals by those same nazi fascist forces.

    Russia has never cared about its soldiers regardless of the war. When Hitler's armies attacked the USSR in June 1941, soldiers were sent into battle with just few rounds of ammunition if they had a rifle. Many charged with instructions to pick up a weapon from a dead comrade. The state has no concern for the many soldiers it sent to their deaths. Due to negligence and incompetence, Nazi Germany captured millions of Soviet troops with millions to die because Nazi Germany wasn't prepared to house and feed so many POWs plus the Germans looked on Soviet troops as subhumans as it did many Slavs.
