the debt ranked up with global bankers ensures ukraine isnt going to be free for a century and the junta in kiev couldve just not break the minsk agreements or take them in the first place to build up a industry to start a war to weaken russia, there is zero benifit for ukraine to remove the self government from the back then ukranian regions. it was zelenski who started the conflict by starting the attack on the donbass, russia was asked for intervention by the ukranian republics under assault from the cia armed millitias using heavy weapons to attack civilian centers. which they are still doing today instead of aiming at troops advancing on the frontlines

@Ivan Morozov The subject of my comment was the father's reaction. You replied "It's fake." If you didn't mean his reaction but the whole narrative of the video, then you can't write, bro. Not my fault. Then you say that thing he's holding isn't a grenade launcher. Correct, it isn't, but that's just random footage mismatched to the text on the screen, so you're taking it too literally. Learn how to watch a video. No one said he did it all by himself, but initially he was on his own, so it is fair to say he "took on [a] Russian column." (Then came his support from the regular forces.) Please use punctuation. They taught it to you in school for a reason.

oh im sure he will be awarded some kind of civilian honor, he deserves to be enlisted and awarded a military honor though, zelensky should override the rules, this man deserves it

@@cFull_Rtrd 😁 His doctor forbid going to the front bc of stress & we want him around, so they won't enlist him, but this action is why orcs are afraid all the citizens are armed and are scared of townspeople. He made a great impact farther than this action and he will be given a medal and honors.
