The Ukrainian military's command North said two were downed over the Sumy region, located on the border with Russia in the country's northeast. "We're waiting for further proposals from 'peacekeepers' about 'peaceful settlement,' 'security guarantees for RF' and undesirability of provocations," Podolyak tweeted, a sarcastic reference to statements from some in the West who urged Ukraine to seek a political settlement of the conflict.
It’s ok. Democrats are gonna chip-in out of their personal funds to rebuild.
Don’t care! Get OUR money back!
The West must totally annihilate Russian military in Ukraine and stop Putin’s madness.
whocares. CBS doing their state work.
This is a war of lies. It started with a 2014 coup, yet people say it was a 'revolution'. People have been fighting since then, not since when Russia invaded. Minsk Agreements tried to being peace, but Kyiv doesn't want peace in its country. End the war or stop complaining
Stand w/Ukraine. War Criminal Putin's paper army is failing and his only aircraft carrier (which was a hot mess to start with) is burning. Can't think of a better Christmas/holiday gift.
At what point can Ukraine strike inside Russia?
b b but, they have no missiles left 🙄
Zelensky doing fine.
White conservative Christianity is greater than brown and black tribalism
