    Мы как раз смотрели с женой это видео.. я показал всё, объяснил людям.. что Путин террорист..

      Террористы это националисты украинской армии, вчера вечером в очередной раз показывали разбитые бомбами Деревни и города Донбасса. Украинцы их бросают, убив всех мужчин, отойдут на расстояние выстрела и круглые сутки лупят по координатам места в котором они были. Дома восстанавливают, там семьи с детьми селятся, а они каждый год снова и снова в это же место.
