BBC talking about "propaganda" makes me vommit.
Sounds like you live in a free world
It’s disgusting 🤮
You're always free not to watch their videos, it's your own choice
BBC is VILE.

Please the West is not the whole world
The west is a global minority who always want to behave as if it is representing the interests and views of everyone whereas they are referring to themselves. Majority must rule, that is what we call democracy
Yes, but when they talk about putin's mafia and do something with them , we - ordinary russians - greetings that. Ok, some part of russian people, more advanced one
Say it to mr Putin!
Tell it to global GDP share
True but the west believes in freedom from dictators and evil people like Putin. Putin has the blood of thousands of Russians and Ukrainians on his hands.
Politicians get away with mass murder.
17k sanctions are the proof that he is the Superman of the century.
He is going to bring USA to it's knees💀💀
Oh my so blatant.
Aside from him not doing anything himself, he brought the sanctions on himself, and his country instead of enjoying peace.
lmao, please do not encourage him
Glory to mother 🇷🇺
go to russia and look to the results of 17k sanctions it's not z what they talking i know what i say i have friends there and people just want to run away from russia

It's not 'booming' though is it? Don't exaggerate.
Because China and India keep it alive.
Factories are busy and churning out goods certainly...but they're war material...it's not helping the people on the streets of Moscow.
Definitely booming. Economy is now based on making bombs that go boom, while people get even poorer and more miserable.
❤ 😂HAHAHA brilliant well said and well OBSERVED
Can you just say is “Russia” powerful rather than Putin 😂
Putin is the head of Russia
putin Russia
"Putin" is war propaganda vocabulary. It generally means Russia.
U mean putin is powerfull.. No body stay in power since 1999 unless they have power
Putin makes Russia powerful than ever.
There is an end in sight for western imperialism
And Deep State that was located in West and had it's roots everywhere
And for Russian Imperialism.

I'm not understanding this, British guys... isn't him daying of cancer or something? Aren't they losing the war?
Sure sure😂😂

Concerning his cancer: Yepp. He definitely has cancer.
I mean look at him in high resolution photographs.
He definitely has cancer.
I know some people that have cancer and they look exactly like he does.
Unhealthy, red eyes, bloated, swollen face. Clinging to desks, chairsz etc.
He doesn't look too healthy anymore, compared to a few years ago. You can literally see that he is on heavy medication and pain killers.
(And I'm talking about the genuine President, not one of his doubles)
So I would give him 5 years at the most.
But concerning the war:
Yepp, Russia is definitely winning. Europe and NATO refuse to give ukraine anything in any meaningful numbers. So they will loose and Russia will win.
Without ammunition and without equipment you will loose. It's as simple as that.
And since Nato and the EU NATO won't give Ukraine the necessary ammunition and equipment in high enough numbers, they will loose.
When they run out of ammo and equipment it's over.
So Russia will win.
Muy buena tu respuesta.Lo han enfermado con todas las enfermedades habidas y por haber.
Navalnists also told us, Russians, how Putin is gravely ill and on the verge of oligarch coup. And thats for 12 years already
Julian exposed corruption, political corruption, and financial corruption, and that is what makes him an enemy of powerful people, and a friend to people around the world. So I support Julian Assange. And I am most definitely opposed to any further prosecution, to his being extradited from England to the U.S. And anyone who cares about humanity, who cares about real journalism, who cares about the truth ought to be in favor of Julian Assange being freed.

As a Ukrainian I can tell you that russia is the same colonial power and if you receive the help from them now be ready to survive bombings later on when you decide that you want independence. Changing masters doesn't make you free.
USSR was helped Africa, and Russian Federation finally picking up this duty of pushing back western imperialism, instead of trying to become part of it as in 1991-2014.
And what is important its Russia and China both establish economic ties with Africa, and can compete between themselves to advantage of Africans, no harmful monopolies. Similarly, India, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Iran, North Korea - powerful nations, allied to Russia and China, but not their servants and they all have to consider interests of each other, this is multipolar world. Unlike unipolar American empire where Ukrainian lives and European economy is carelessly thrown into the fire by American Congress so American military industrial complex may thrive

'The Russian economy is thriving' - What!!?? So the sanctions placed on Russian energy has had little effect but damaged western economies more due to the inflation on everything thanks to sanctions on Russian energy. Well done all involved 👏👏👏 🤦♀
The russian war economy is thriving. The russian civilian economy is struggling and in serious jeopardy.
It's easy to have a GDP growth when you raise taxes and raise the deficit for massive state spending on the war industry. Meanwhile, very high inflation (even worse than in the UK), a 16% central bank rate, high taxes, low civilian investment, state deficit in a state that cannot borrow from the markets that easily (but can very easily make the print go brrrr with the usual potential impact on inflation), etc...

"Partly because there aren't any independent polls" That's an untrue statement. LEVADA is an independent agency funded by the US/West based in Moscow who is frequently polling the Russian society, and on every poll conducted since the beginning of the Special Operation, Putin's scores consistently an approval rating of over 80% among the Russian people. Prove of that was the recent presidential elections, were 77% of the Russian electorate when out to vote (in the US's 2020 presidential election only 60% of the population participated) and out of those, 87% voted for Putin to stay in power. If the people in Russia didn't support Putin, they would have stayed home and not gone out to voted.

Russia never began wars with equal countries. He is always attracted to small countries like Georgia, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Finland... Yeah, Russia is not a powerful country.
War strangely had a way of uniting people, nationalism is a powerful force when a nation feels isolated, is Putin more powerful than ever, hell yeah, it seems that good old death will be his only opposition, probably of old age? Besides democracy has become questionable in the world, most people are not well enough educated or well enough informed to vote, democracy itself needs reforming..
Some truth in that. Many spoiled brats have been brainwashed into to thinking that democracy is to be taken for granted too.
Hell no, Mr. Putin is not isolated. Have you heard of BRICS and global South lining up behind Putin ? The sanctions have failed. Very soon, the SWIFT system of transactions will be history. There is a shift already in the universe. The western hegemony is dying and can never be fixed. Crazy and deluded leaders in the west running their economies because of selfish interests.

What part of Russia is a "dictatorship" do too many people not understand?
'Dictatorships...' don't even allow their own people to speak out, or know the truth!
So why on earth would think for a moment they would tell "you" the truth?
If a Russian person even calls this a 'war...' they can face upwards of "12 years" or more in jail, or worse be murdered by the regime. Putin has said this 'war...' has to be called a "special military operation."
Russian soldiers are brutalised, lied to and tortured by their own government. The families how lose loved ones, few get the death payments promised them, and soldiers themselves are left often with no pay or weapons with substandard equipment, which left many to freeze to death in winter.
There are no free fair elections in Russia under Putin - all free media and political opposition has been shut down, journalists, politicians and ordinary people - imprisoned or murdered!
Many have been taken in by Russian disinformation: by the way it was Russia under Stalin and the KGB in 1923 which arrived at the concept and coined the word 'disinformation!' They even gave it a Western sounding name, so we would more easily adopt it... so that worked?
Putin has murdered "100 000s" of people in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, Moldova, Belarus and Ukraine and elsewhere in the world.
Syria, was a people's uprising as a result of the Arab Spring, which began in Tunisia in 2010, as a result Assad slaughtered peaceful protesters with gunships. The people fought bravely for years, but when Damascus was about to fall, Assad called in Putin. Assad and Putin then murdered "100 000s" of people, dropping bombs on children in their schools, burning them alive!
In Russia itself, if people even call the Ukraine Russia War, a "war..." they can face up to "10 years" in jail, or if someone is a high profile politician or public figure, then can be imprisoned or even murdered.
A recent UN stated the in a terror campaign orchestrated by Putin... "children" as young as '4' years old are being tortured and raped.
We must act to stop this, and support the people of Ukraine to ensure this ends... in defeating the Putin Regime this could be a turning corner for humanity, in our search to end war, and all injustice?

Not Only Loved and supported by Majority of his own citizens with over 85% approval rating. We from the Global South respect and love Vladimir Putin.

Such a great leader...the world love u and we compliment your great wisdom and restraint
I dont love him
I don't love him either. I think he's an idiot.
@@jelen7217 You love Zelesnky the guy that dances in high heels and Biden that sniffs other people hair
@@9w9id You love a dictator who has sacrificed hundreds of thousands of young men for his own imperialist ambitions. Annexation = Imperialism. Crimea, Luhansk, Zaphorhizia, Donetsk, Kherson... What next? Estonia? Lithuania? Poland?
Putin is the 21st century version of Hitler, responsible for so much death and misery. All on the pre-text of someone "might" invade us.
So glad to know that we have always been the good guys in every conflict and that our media and intelligence agencies never manipulate us.
Identifying attributes as indicating strength while they really indicate sad weakness.
In one year all EU will know like German fiind in ww2 and Napoleon, Russia will never be defeated. Even Russian people are not electric flower power generation
When russia was fighting against napoleon or germany, you retreated to moscow, more than 1000km from your empires border, and you had support from britain. because they were in both wars on the same side. Now russia is standing against usa, canada and almost all of europe, including france, germany, uk and so on... So you want to tell me, that you will defeat like EVERYONE?!

@@jelen7217 go în Egipt for holiday and see how russians are doing, all the little business are booming, they work for army with big contracts, men power is in not shortage, they have the north poor resources for men power. They have the gas for money and all this can keep 5 years the war easy . Plus how you deget a nuclear power with strong leader . I am not with Rusia , but I don’t want to be lie like in ww2 that Russia will fall and in one year german women war girls for russians . My grandfather was in the army in ww2 and he know Russia will not stop until men power =0 . It’s the Russian way , they have a big ego , this ego will make the Russian population to want to fight

2:15 "The West for Putin is embodied by Nato"
Correction: The West for the literally the WHOLE WORLD is embodied by NATO.
Putin the only world leader with common sense go Putin go
In era of social media, building targeted narrative is hard. Specially when some institutions integrity is questionable on current international events...
Not only the longest running president but the best leader ever in Russian history and the greatest ruler in the world. Via Putin 🇷🇺♥️
Leader in murders, torture and with a beautiful family
He may be best, but he is dictator, and thats a fact, in west, nobody can rule longer than 10 years, meanwhile putin was ruling russia as a president or prime minister for 25 years now.
Thats why he is dictator, in western world, it cant be possible for any leader to be "president" or "prime minister" for 25 years.
It's a lie.
@@nefed-L damn right it is.
BBC crying 😢😅
That intro though🔥
The western leaders dont talk about their clueless leaders like joe,sunak only create adverseries
The only one clueless in your comment is you🤡
joe and sunak have not invaded their neighbour and expanded their borders. The Russian empire has been expanding since 2014
@@mark63424able the West just robbing their neo-colonial possession and the whole World through rigged financial system without bothering making those countries constituent parts of their countries, without taking responsibilities and giving citizenship to people living there, like Russia does
Again, you have failed with the old story of "Almost nobody in Russia supports" Putin
"after a terror attack in moscow in 2024 putin pointed the finger at ukraine, despite islamic state claiming responsibility" they will not go an inch closer to looking at why he said that... good journalism. dont look at why the were given passage to escape into ukraine (:
yes president putin is might on earth.
leave Putin have Netanyahu...

Whataboutism
@@martinswitzer6534not whataboutism, but debunking monstrous and murderous hypocrisy of the West.

I wonder why western criticise the love of the choice people of Russia,you western dont love pilutin but his people love him so much..they don want your approval to whom to love😂😂
I think the west is disappointed. They groomed a stooge called Nevalny and thought he would be loved by the Russians cos he's younger and better looking than Putin. Too bad the Russians have never heard of him.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaa
Its funny, that you like dictator, meanwhile we dont like our leaders, but thats just how democracy should look like, not like having one person ruling there over 25 years.
A lot of Russians don't love Putin, but they don't have a choice.
Lol they were trying to make you look better. Thanks for admitting that it’s your society that’s the problem
We don’t even respect what you report. We respect Russia and Putin. Russia ain’t your enemy.

All them oldies supporting the fight and depriving the young from opportunities.
IT IS NOT CIVIL WAR, IT IS NATO VS RUSSIA WARRRRRR
Putin certainly thinks so. After all, he sent his ultimatum to NATO, not to Ukraine. And didn't even mention the Donbas or its inhabitants in his ultimatum. Clear evidence that Putin's war is indeed a proxy war against NATO (and ultimately the USA).
Nah
It's a US (!) provoked (!) proxy-war !
Long term intended - at least since 2008 (NATO-summit where USA pushed for Ukrainian NATOmembership; F and D against; Ukraine did not ask for!).
At least since 2014 CIA bases in Ukraine.
