Ukraine on Wednesday urged Western nations to impose more sanctions on Russia following a sweeping round on Tuesday from the EU, US and other Western nations targeting the economy and Putin’s inner circle.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree calling up reservists between the ages of 18 and 60 on Wednesday, Ukraine’s armed forces said in a statement.
Ukraine also recommended that its nationals leave Russia.
Western nations are using sanctions in response to a speech given by Putin on Monday that declared Russia had the right to seize Ukraine as part of the nation’s “spiritual continuum” while also violating international law by declaring the eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk “independent.”
With nearly 200,000 Russian troops amassed on Ukraine’s borders, Western countries are poised to throw down further sanctions should the US, UK and NATO warnings about an imminent invasion prove accurate.

both EU and NATO ignores this since 2008. it's not like the "rebels" were finding weapons and artillery weapons in the ground. it's not like the "tourists" from the Russian army were not know. we never intervened and this gave Putin the signal that he can do what he wants.
even now with the sanctions, there are those countries that do not realize that tomorow it could be them: Hungary, Greece and a few more are against harsher sanctions. guess what Hungary, after Hungary, puțin might remember you were also a comunist country next to USSR
AMERICA ATTACK RUSSIA IF U HAVE GUT….CHINA AND NORTH KOREA ARE WAITING THE TIME U ATTACK RUSSIA …THATS IS WHY PUTIN SAY U WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS BEFORE IN HISTORY
They need threaten to put there nuclear power stations into melt down, Europe and Russia would never chance it
Ukrainians never give up. I hope ukraine army will launch big missiles to russia citties but targetting military position and president palace. Ukraine has right to fight back.
The west has not tried to find any diplomatic solutions. The best the w3est could come up with was Macronn prancing around posing as the saviour dipoimat but offering absolutely nothing. If the anybody inn the west was the least bit sincere about these claims about seeking a diplomatic solution, they would have put at least some pressure on Ukraine to fulfill it's obligations under the Minsk Accords. The West has avoided diplomacy for nearly a decade while arming Ukraine in the meantime. This is what you get.
Mr Zelensky, this situation is really your fault. Each time you say "we would like to join NATO", more you angrier the president of russia. Mr Zelensky, your speech is obsessive and suicidal, leading all ukrainians to death. Just stop, and dont cross the russian red lines. It's so easy.
👍👍 Ukraine🇺🇦

Time for Syrian people to free themselves from the dictator Al asad the donkey of putin
Western leaders have become good reporters.
You know why the president call for tve reserves??? Because his army won't fight for him.
Putin thinks he will get away with this. But, I assure you he won`t
how many years old should be retire in your country ? so joe biden how old?
Stop, in the name of love.
Russia has freedom convoy of their own
Air Land and Sea
where's the support?
why spend billions of tax dollars to mobilize troops that are just standing by looking like…mmmm
why the useless diplomacy?
sanctions for what?
the U.S.S.R showed the world how it survived in a complete state of isolation behind the infamous "IRON CURTAIN" in an era without the technology that we have today and who knows what kind of foreign investments Russia has in place that the former U.S.S.R didn't have then…
NATO member or not…
BULLYING should "NOT" be tolerated at any level…!!!
this situation needs a "GO FUND ME" of volunteer fighters to help stop a bully that will not hold back once he's done with Ukraine!
Putin has already said it: "Ukraine and Russia are one and the same"… so were "all" the former "Soviet" states…
Putin will unite them once again and against their will if allowed…
don't know where the madness is… from Russia or those who think that sanctions are a weapon…
If I could have a wish…I would wish for a "GO FUND ME A MERCENARY" or at least for someone to take up my idea…without cause of "copyright infringement"
EVERYONE wants Russia to be held "ACCOUNTABLE… but to "HOLD" Russia "ACCOUNTABLE" someone "HAS" to stand up and become "RESPONSIBLE" to "HOLD" Russia "ACCOUNTABLE"… and "NO ONE" has that courage/responsibility…
Here's the proof that the United Nations is a waste of funds that are funneled right into politicians' pockets…
Putin kills jung guys. Slava Ukraine.
I hope the Ukrainian's malitia has some sense of war like not dumping all of their ammo on nothing in fear sprays at oppositions you cant even target full auto at that range and then not moving locations after you have given away your position with your noise/gunfire. Or fumbling because you didnt remain calm. I dont know the region by experience but the people seem very hardy and have earned my respect for not cowering.
Hey 👋 what
These first attacks look very large but low cost. Maybe to put his toe in the water and see what might be a threat so to know what to bring to that area to counter it or where to relocate to and do damage at a low spamming junk cost
I sometimes wonder wether we ( the West ) are concious of the fact that the Oekrain people suffer for the fundamental principles/ values on which our societies are based. Freedom of speech etcetera. They are being sacrificed/ butchered for our wellbeing. So sad.
Russia ( Poetin ) has got a very distorted image of diplomacy . Diplomacy ( sweet talking ) while invade with military vehicles.
As soon they are telling what they
Going to do enemies knows also better stay silent keep your business yourself
YouTube Censorship is stomping on freedom of speech and expression!
Put a cap in Putin. That'll stop him!
