Russia launches military attacks on Ukraine | DW News 

And Russia wonders why their neighbors want to join NATO, this will just isolate them further.

First they came for the Ukranians, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a Ukranian. Then they came for the Europeans, and I did not speak out- Because I was not an European. Then they came for the XXX, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a XXX. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.

There are no words that can describe the criminality of sentencing hundreds of thousands of human beings to death for an adjusted border.

How media manipulate everything 😂😂 when gringos started bombing Libya they just mention that new two days 🤣😂🤣 Keep like that russia you doing 👍

It's reminds how we failed to save Czechoslovakia and Poland from Naz1 Germany.

Kudos to you for not turning off comments (like literally every news network in my country)

"We don't invaid Ukraine", they said

Ukraine is being used by US as window to Russia. Given the same situation, I will act the same way as Putin. The US ever since wanted every nation to vow to their superpowers. I am not siding China but it's good that they have evolved to balance world power.

Imagine going through all the covid of the last 2 years and then this happens to your country.

The Germans, send another batch of helmets to Ukraine!!! it will help

🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

man remember when nick constantly sounded like he was underwater? and they kept asking him to speak anyways? ah the good old days

Lord save the world from another chaos! We were just recovering from a pandemic... :(

politicians do not get hurt, its the civilians specially poor people that gets hurt the most in wars.😢😢

Did Putin seriously call democratically elected Ukraine fascist?

Look at that, now all of the sudden citizens have the right to defend themselves when it's convenient for the government. Absolute joke.

God bless all the kids and innocent citizens

Ukraine has does nothing wrong to deserve this.

From your Ukrainian/Canadian brothers and sisters: Erase all pocket tyrants and Neo-Holodomorists. Peace on Earth and God bless Mother Ukraine!🇺🇦

Calling 8 years long siege of Luhansk and Donetsk: "Some little Shelling." That's how it is done in news. Maybe she should have moved there and live in decimated houses.

Hi ya'll! ;) My name is Paul and i'm 22. I'm from Dnipro, Ukraine. Today i'll remember forever, my stepfather is already taken to base by our armed forces, and soon i'll do the same. I just want to tell you, we are ukrainians not ideal, we are still far from european mentality. But we truly want just to be free, want to self-develop ourselves, and we want to be the country of democracy. Even if we fall down, Putin won't stop on this, just want you to recognize. Anyway i'm smiling today, i've never seen my nation so сonsolidated as today, and today i understood how much i love my parents, my relatives, friends, brothers, (even neighbours ;-)) and basically my country. My Motherland is the best in the world. Just want you to know that your governments needs to try influence on him harder. I know it seemes senseless for you, but it lasts only till the moment when it touches you. Much love from Ukraine. Pray for Ukraine! Slava Ukraini!

This has always been the result when leaders with more ego than common sense, and preservation of life are allowed to remain in control of a country that has outgrown them.

NATO should intervene and defend Ukraine. Putin will not stop here. So act now or act later. Any sign of weakness will only embolden the dictator. Have we learned nothing from the 1930's?

The two most powerful countries at war in the name of energy trades and Ukrain stuck in the middle just like Vietnam. History repeating itself.

I can appreciate the irony of watching war coverage vs. Russia from a German news organization. I hope my family in Ukraine escapes the harm. :(

No to countries bullying weaker countries.Does not matter if its America,Russia or China. No country has the right to attack a soveriegn nation.

Occupying Ukraine, a big country with a big population where you are seen as very hostile in many regions, whould be a nightmare. Russian militaries must know this. Russians and Ukranians is not that different, the Ukrainans don't just roll over and surrender to avoid losses. Putin just made NATO many new friends indeed. Especially in Ukraine.

My Ukrainian brothers and Sisters fight back like warriors 💪 with a pride. Stand up to the bully Russians.

So, I may decide to have an “operation” in my next door neighbor’s backyard tomorrow morning. And I have told my other neighbors not to interfere….

I was in a similar situation as a child. I wasn't really scared... mostly we were angry because there was nothing we could do. For whatever it's worth my hearth goes out to the innocent folks suffering.

We support Ukraine. 🇫🇷 🇺🇦

I think it's clear that Putin isn't concerned about how he or Russia is viewed by the rest of the world. He's very obviously just going to take what he wants no matter the cost. I'm doing my best to follow what going on and I am so so sorry to the people of Ukraine for what you are going through. I wish I could do more.

Of all the flaws we humans have had for tens of thousands of years; I would have liked to think that the days of wars for territorial gains were behind us. This never ends well for anyone. Stay strong Ukraine!

Seen this coming long ago and it's now happening, wish I was surprised.. I have lots of Ukrainian friends out here in Canada, prayers for the Ukrainian people

Glory to Ukraine and Ukrainians!

All these "sanctions" will be a double shot in our own knee - Russia can easily change to China. And what do we produce, what China does not produce?? On the other side Russia offers something we will need now and in the future, especially ressources and energy. The war leads to much higher prices for energy and on this way we - especialy Western Europe - finance the war in the Ukraine. Next step is Taiwan! Very quick we should offer Russia a place in NATO - first row.

God bless Ukraine and innocent ukranians 🙏

The world doesn't need war just as we wade through the Covid pandemic.

We are praying for Ukraine families and children Stay safe Ukraine

Ukrain god speed stand for your freedom and independence never submit my prayers to you all 🙏🏽

Why nato is silent? Putin does event care about sanctions UN is spineless

If you appear weak and you do not want to provoke a bully is the precise character what a bully wants, and he will do what he wants until you give him a bloody nose or you put him 6 feet underground.

Just recovering from a pandemic and this is coming up, oh Lord have mercy on us all and save the world 🌎 🙏 😢

STOP WAR UKRAINE & RUSSIA, FROM THE PHILIPPINES! ❤❤❤

My heart breaks for the civilian families out there.

“We have no plans to invade Ukraine” - I think he doesn’t speak the truth and he doesn’t represent the Russian people.

Praying for the people of Ukraine and for peace..😣👃👃

Russia and NATO need to negotiate Ukraine becoming a Neutral state!

This situation is so horrifying. I don’t know how this is going to effect the rest of the world but for Ukraine this is unbelievably terrible. The possible outcomes when involving nuclear power holding countries is terrifying to think about . Putin knows that he has now effectively made the first strike which will leave the U.S. and other NATO countries to step up and defend democratic Ukraine .

🇲🇽 Mexico will support Ukraine 💪

Putin described himself, not Ukraine.

Love, Peace, Freedom and Justice for Ukraine and whole mankind. Stop nuclear weappons.

When Russia is so heavily armed, denying arms to the Ukrainians does not help peace. Russia has never been deterred by weakness

We support Ukraine 🇷🇴 🤝 🇺🇦

Good god. This is horrible, Putin needs to be stopped and deposed!

As a Russian person, who lives in the United States, this news really saddens me. I feel like I'm paralyzed inside of me. I have nothing else to say...

Those people die for nothing. I‘m so angry right now. Humans will never learn, will they? It‘s enough. Enough people died for nothing in war.

Toilet paper will be running short. Germany, please send some to the Ukraine.

Down these streets the fools rule There’s no freedom or self respect A knife’s point or a trip to the joint Is about all you can expect They kill people here who stand up for their rights The system’s just too damned corrupt It’s always the same, the name of the game Is who do you know higher up Bob Dylan

I love you Ukrainian people be strong 💪hawaii is with you one love peace forever

This is crazy like I knew it was getting close to happening but now who knows how far or bloody this will get :(

🇺🇦🙏🏼🇺🇦God Bless Ukraine 🇺🇦🙏🏼🇺🇦

Stay strong Ukraine.

Like Poland in 1939 sad to see prayers to all those who are living through this!

This is all so very frightening and sad. I can't imagine what effect this will have on the world, but my heart is heavy with what the Ukrianian mothers are going through with the thought of their innocent children who are at threat of being cold bloodedly murdered! ..... For personal reasons and for all the people of Ukraine please hold hands with me and Pray that Putin changes his mind and lets the people of Ukraine live without threat of loosing their lives! 🙏

major cities in Ukraine need Patriot missile defense systems asap

What a horrible situation for everyone, for the whole international community! 😢

Slava Ukrajna kyiv 💙💛💙💛💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦😥😥😥😥😢😢😢😢😞😞😞😞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

When US invaded iraq, why wasnt it given importance like this

Unfortunately, Ukraine has already lost this war and America and the UN Security Council have shown themselves to be impotent. Truly unfortunate!

Innocent people don't have to die. I hate what western countries have done in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan but this is pure evil as well. Russia doesn't need this. People are praying for life not death. This is so wrong

WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER. LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT.

Apply your own MicroSanctions. Don't buy Russian. Don't do business with them.

I wish everyone peace

Ah, pandemic, recession, war, roaring 20s lololol

God bless Kiev and God bless Ukraine

Putin must wake up from dreaming of the past. Putin, leave Ukraine alone. Let them live their lives as they desire. Ukraine wants democracy and freedom.

I am from AZERBAİJAN. Good luck UKRAİNA 🙏🇺🇦🇦🇿🇪🇺

War is the last thing I want but surely nato should step in because sanctions won't work. Ukraine shouldn't be left to fight alone!

Congratulations Charles ephedrine ! Lmfao YOUR THE WORST REPORTER TO EVER EXIST ! He describes WAR and TERROR , likes he is explaining how to make a latte ? Freaking weird as dude , freaky reporting …almost like he is their as a bad inside joke lol omg Charles …get a job selling insurance .

I know my question, it's a hundred years old; AND, after hundreds of years... an answer seems too vague and non-producible. Yet, I ask myself more than anyone: WHY war? IF our leaders must choose to war, may they war between themselves and their personal supportive factions. … may we allow everyday people to live a simple life? My gut wrenches. THIS could be any of us sitting at our keyboards, sipping our brew... watching as if Hollywood has offered its finest cinematography; yet, it isn't a production. It's people with a family just like mine.

we stand with Ukraine 🇹🇷❤🇺🇦

Please pronounce the name of the city correctly! Come on you can do it! The people of the Ukraine will be very grateful! Prayers for Ukraine🙏🏼❤️🇺🇦

!!! UKRAINE NEEDS MORE SOLDIERS!!! VERY URGENT!!! THERE IS NO TIME LEFT TO WAIT. PLEASE, EVERYONE, WHO WOULD LIKE TO HELP TO FIGHT FOR UKRAINE, ARE WERY WELCOME! COME OVER. WE WILL PRTOVIDE YOU WITH THE GUNS AND EQUIPMENT. Hugs and Peace....

Maybe listen to Russia when they start negotations, next time? Everybody was quick to lecture them when they had large enough nukes and millitary to do this... This is no joke. Dont antagonize someone like Putin with a clown like Zelensky..

To all the computer hackers out there, go after every institution in Russia and render their IT systems inoperable. You guys can do it. Please do your part. Work relentlessly to get them down and keep them down. You will be heroes.

Lovely ukrainian people 🙏❤. Long liive Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤💪!!!!

I think Zelansky should have learned who his allies were after the debacle retreat in Afghanistan. I mean if that’s how you choose the colour of your allies this should be no surprise. No one will come to help Ukraine. I pray for the people of Ukraine. your government , and NATO, have severely failed you.

Charles well-spoken and informative.

I kinda feel sorry for the citizens of russia because the economic sanctions will hit them very hard. But I hope it does anyway

What a Sad Day in History. 🥺 Prayers to Ukraine and it's People. 🙏

One major point why we don't send weapons to the Ukraine is that there is no easy way to do so atm. We do not have much what we can send since our military is underfunded. And if we would have, there is no airtraffic possible atm to Ukraine. On the ground it would take a long time before they arrive and then it would take weeks and for some types of weapon even months of training before they can be used effectivly. And small arms (rifles & co.) on a few trucks wouldn't really have any effect on the conflict. As sad as it is, it is too late for that option. In my opinion NATO & EU leaders have underestimated how far Putin will go because they do not understand Putins mentality and his need for such a conflict to stay in power himself.

I feel strongly that we now are in a key-moment - a turningpoint - in europeian history. Its about recpect for settled internasjonale ordner. How can we respect a amall country - let say Danmark - right to decide her own path into future, If we dont respect the second largest country in Europa the same way? How can we recpect any landborder, If we dont respect Ukrainian borders that have been acceptet and repected long time ago by all- including Russia? Putins security talk is only a handy distrraction. Putins nightmare is not NATO, but that Ukraine become a succes. Putin and his clepomanic oligark regime, dont want that Ukraine develope euconomy positive way like Poland. What will Russians then think.??? WARNING : All west media net is ovverfloaded from Russian trolls in disguise. They try od course to "sell" the false Russian narrative in any different way. * there is two sides, two aggressors etc etc that have to be repected. * the Ukrainan side is illegal, bad and wrong in one way or another *the west is so hypocratic..... * Europa is fooled by Biden to promote war to gain more profit *west media CNN +++ tell Biden lies * always use west alias. Sometimes diff alias, but never Russian names *play diff cards: pasifistic, regilion, Trump - GOP card, student-card etc etc

thanks for the support, friends!💞 our mans on the east are the strongest! Everything will be ok) rusia kaput🤞

This is what happens with weak leadership this has been is on the makes for years, profits over people I won’t be surprised if this spreads to other former Soviet estates for sure Ukraine will be getting a lot of volunteers from this countries,stay strong Ukraine

NO WAR🚫.INNOCENT LIFES MATTER..

This surely is going to escalate. 😢

The way west and the US terrified Iraqi and Libyan citizens, Yemeni citizens, Afghan citizen where Palistinians are terrified on a day to day basis. Why this double standard? I do not approve war and feel for ordinary citizens of Ukraine and Russian

What this news channel only talks only of ukraine as the victim and doesn't mention that all this could have been avoided if ukraine had.stick to the Minsk agreement. Why yiu don't mention anything of Ukraine aggression against the breakaway republics during these past years.

Give those people some arms to protect them self . Take Putin OUT,👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿 Sanctions won’t work
