You attack their air base and think they will respond with love and light? 😅

Oh, I forget, it's Zelensky.

The ceasefire was a 30 days energy ceasefire and both countries agreed not to attack their energy facilities in 30 days. However, Ukraine was the first to break the agreement when they attacked Russia oil field a day after the ceasefire was announced. Were you expecting Russia not to retaliatehuh They play and stop deceiving people like Western media

To Putin, this is only a game, a chess game. He can't allow Trump to take the glory of the war as easily as he thinks. He just want to use Trump.

Trump needs to tread with caution when it comes to Putin else he will realize too late or let's just hope he also knows what he's doing, u can't underrate Americans as well cheesy

It's was Ukraine and Russia attacked each other, the cease fire was a partial one here, only energy infrastructures was agreed by Trump and Putin not to target every other target is still okay.

So you didn’t know that Ukraine attacked Russian first with almost 200 drones destroying their military base. Zelenskyy even went on air to boast. Russia only responded to that attack

Laughing. That attack you read up there was a retaliation. You should have known by now that Zelensky is a liar and he's very good at
misleading the public with false information and alarm.
Below is what he did that made Russia retaliated. Though, I don't know what you knew about Putin that made you concluded like that.

🇷🇺💥🇺🇦 Destruction of the Sudzha Gas Infrastructure Station (GIS), ceasefire, and truce?

▪️Russia reserves the right to a symmetrical response to attacks on energy facilities, the Russian Foreign Ministry said today. Kiev, through its attacks, demonstrates complete unwillingness to negotiate and a lack of desire for peace.

▪️The Sudzha GIS has been completely destroyed by the Ukrainians. It will take about 2.5 years to restore it. Without it, gas supplies to Europe are impossible. Now all the efforts of Hungary and Slovakia to resolve the issue of Russian gas deliveries to Europe have been nullified and rendered meaningless.


▪️This is a slap in the face to Trump — a violation of the agreement not to strike energy infrastructure.

▪️Experts are speculating whether this was a deliberate decision by Kiev or the actions of nationalist battalions that don’t obey Kiev — which is also quite possible.

❗️The main question — how is it possible to negotiate with the Kiev regime about refraining from strikes or any kind of ceasefire?

One thing I don’t understand is that Ukraine agreed to a cease fire but still kept attacking Russia. They even carried out a massive drone bonbing against Russia.

So my question is, do you mean Russia is not supposed to retaliate? If you don’t follow this war carefully, you’ll think Ukraine is being bullied.

But when Ukraine attacked Russia after they (Ukraine) agreed to a ceasefire, there was no news about it at all.

But when Russia retaliates, the news is everywhere. It’s now I really believe this media bias.

They’re all trying to sway the world against Russia. If I did not sympathize with Russia before, I now do. ‘Cause only heavens knows what they’re trying to make us believe about them without us knowing.
Na today u dey know about western media? Super bias and very deadly set of humans.

We've been hearing a lot of vague rhetoric, especially from the mainstream media over the past three years, about concepts like survival, mutual respect and democracy. But what do these terms really mean in practice? Take mutual respect, for example—how is it defined? If a group of countries decides to place weapons near another nation's border to contain it, one side might see that as justified, while the other views it as a strategic threat.

Achieving victory in this battle is nearly impossible. Russia is not going anywhere—they will remain in Europe, and they see this as an existential threat. Because of that, they have more at stake in the long run than the Europeans and are willing to endure significant losses, including people and financial resources.

The only scenario that could shift the tide of this war is if European nations directly engage with their troops, fully committing to war—at the cost of millions of lives. However, if Europe enters a war in its current state, the consequences would be devastating, both economically and politically. Massive divisions would emerge across Europe and within individual countries, as the justification for war would become increasingly difficult—especially as casualties mount, such as children in Germany losing their lives. The recovery could take decades, and European leaders understand this reality.

As I’ve said before, what is the endgame for Europe? If they seek "mutual respect," they must sit down with Russia, define what that truly means, and ensure both sides understand and accept it. Simply repeating these words on TV or after every meeting holds no real value.

I'm sure nobody wants an escalation and all out war. They question is can they agree on something that makes sense to all sides.

This is where Trump can help cos the war should never have happened in the first place if both sides has maintained some form of mutual respect and diplomatic relationship/understanding.

Trust Putin at your own risk. He doesn't want the war to cease in the first place. He wants to ensure he kills more of his brothers and sisters who are only separated by 2 different country's names. It's just like yorubas killing itsekiris or Benin republic nationals. No be same blood killing themselves?

Putin doesn't trust Americans with his whole heart as well. He believes all their leaders are on same mission....protecting the American interests.
No, ion think that is the problem. I think Ego is taking a big play here. Trump too dey make mouth like Putin is his boy and of course doesn't want to appear like Trump is tryna control him or something

If I had not seen videos and pictures of Ukraine bombing Russian oil refinery just after the ceasefire on infrastructures was agreed between Trump and Putin, I would have believed you. Some of you just intentionally post updates that distorts the facts, here. I'm wondering why you didn't post that part of the conflict. There's actually nothing to gain by distorting the facts in this conflict.

You will never have access to the true story of events about the Russian vs Ukraine War at this side of the world because of the Western propaganda. They are using the media as a weapon against Russia. So so bias stories to favour Ukraine and paint Russian as evil. Ukraine bomb deep into Russian while the cease fire was been concluded, then Russian retaliated massively. Zalenskey will not learn his lesson until his country is totally ruined and he finds himself in exile. There is no way Ukraine can win, it will rather turn to a nuclear war instead.
I am afraid Europe will pull the world into a world war 3 if care is not taken.

The peace deal wasn't to end the war, but stop or stop attacking installations and heavily mechanized structures I believe.
It was a total halt

Zelenskky is eager for EU to send him money and tools instead of signing the US deal .

seunny4lif:
Whitkoff thinks Putin is very smart:
"Only the smartest people in the country used to go to the KGB. He's super smart, okay? If you don't want to give him credit for that, that's fine. But I give him credit for it."

The head of the Ukrainian military intelligence service, Budanov, suggested blowing up all Ukrainian nuclear power plants in case of defeat in the conflict.
This was stated by Zelenskyy's ex-advisor Arestovich. He explained that this is why the US wants to take the facilities under its control:
‘They perceive us as a monkey with a grenade. And just dangerous toys want to take control. They know about our plans to blow up all nuclear power plants if Ukraine loses. Budanov had this idea about a year and a half ago. Like, we'll blow up everything: all the Russian ones we can reach, all ours so that no one gets any.... On the principle of ‘we'll die, but we'll take everyone with us’.


Re: Ukraine Wakes Up To Scenes Of Devastation Hours After Agreeing To Ceasefire by Uten9z(m): 6:40am On Mar 23, 2025
That's fact down here, Zelenskky will have this war ended if he will agree to US term and have Americans directly involved in the war , but no the EU are pressuring him to secure a lesser offer for a more war and depts to pay regardless.
Most of the country showing face on media are very broke and dangerously indepted to even sustain their self. Check France for example, they have lost African allies and all their extortion of gold and other minerals ended and guess who is in the middle; Putin Russia empowering them in more cheaper deals.

Ukraine should stop playing the victim. Grow some balls and launch some bombs at strategic government institutions in Moscow. That's the only way Russia will know that nobody is an underdog.
They already did that , Russia is only responding to their attack.

you are a fool. Keep believing nonsense propaganda from Ukraine. Do you know that 7hours after the cease fire, they attacked Russian energy infrastructure?? Note the seize fire wasn't a full cease fire it was a cease fire that stops both side from attacking each other's energy infrastructure only(refinaries, gas plans, nuclear plants electricity generating facilties like dam etc) yet 7hours later they attack Russia refinery and you expect no retaliation? U dey mad
