Garbage

The pope implore Vladimir Putin, democratically elected president of the Russian federation to kneel to the US unipolar World and let his people to be murdered!

The Pope should also voice his words towards Europe and the 🇺🇸 USA Mainly on The man from Delaware

The most political Pope in history!

The chaos of the universe cannot be controlled.

Anyone notice we never had any issuse like hyperinflation, nuclear war, border crisis under trump? It took biden to do this.

Uh... he didn't notice North Korea threatening nuclear war? Oh wait, those are Communists so it's OK.

He should have also included NATO and Biden.

Putin is doing with Ukraine what the Israelis do with the Palestinians. It is all a land grab, except that the Israelis can do as they please, but not Putin.

Tax The Church

Isn't it better for the top of the Greek Orthodox Church to call ?

Capture the flag in real life

I wouldn't just throw them away, I'd use them as toilet paper

With major towns like Kharkiv, Izyum, Kupyansk and now Lyman retaken by the UkrainianArmy, eyes must now be set on Kherson down to Mariupol in the south and Severodonetsk in the east of Ukraine over coming few weeks. That could signal the demise of Putinism.Russia

Very brave human

Please let the world stop this war is not necessary, can't sit down and resolve the issues?

Russia-Ukraine live updates: Russia accused of shooting civilian convoy, killing 22JUST IN: Russian forces have withdrawn their troops from the once-occupied Ukrainian city of Lyman as Ukraine's eastern counteroffensive recaptures more territory, Russia's Tass and RIA news agencies said citing the Russian defense ministry. It's as hard for old men to 'advance to the rear,' as it is to march toward the front. A grey army is not going to be much of an asset for Mr. Putin. We need global leaders who tell Ukrainian & Russian leadership to come to terms. Peace. Slava Ukraini. Putin has what he wants. Zelensky and the MSM can act like Russia is retreating. But they aren't. 'Withdrawn' Well, perhaps the massive body count soon emerging could count as a withdrawal of available RU forces, forever, I suppose.
