I’ve been watching you gentlemen for several years. Kudos to you both. I lived and worked in Ukraine from 2016 and was there when this all started in 2022. I watched and saw this whole thing unfolding and it was so obvious what was happening. It amazes me how correctly and succinctly you have reported around this whole story over the last nearly 4 years. It is unusual for western commentators even online to present such factual and on point information continuously. I have great respect for both of you. Thank you
There's 13 billionaires in the US administration. The political system won't change soon.
The elite in the EU and america stole billions on our western tax payers money. Now they want peace and ignore the billons they stole and standard of living they destroyed in the west with inflation and expensive energy
You two are awesome, have a great day !!
Russia will take Odessa. NO WAY, Russia will allow Ukraine to keep Odessa.
Do you think the white house is leaking the level of corruption in the zelensky regime to force them to accept a peace agreement
