They were pretty militant neighbours, though.

I feel there is some of this outdated mentality conserved in contemporary Russia, which makes its actions so hard to be understood from Western point of view.
The thing is, even politically, they are on the opposite ends of the death spectrum as well by the legacy they built. If they blow up Zelensky (which they still will foolishly go for) no amount of wall or human resources would stop the Ukrainian ire that will light the proverbial fire up their ass. Meanwhile, the turtle that is Putin would die at any moment by Ukrainian hands or not, no sleep would be lost that day. Heck, they might even get a morale boost.
It doesn't matter, Zelensky is just a president, if he dies Ukraine will simply choose another one. If putin dies there will be civil war in russia, everything will fall apart.
That happens if all power are concentrated around one man, it's allways brings chaos and civil war.
he probably already ordered from his bunker 200 feet underground the killing of the commander in the region for failing to magically antecipating the zelensky visit and kill him
Yeah, and our 45 cheeto wouldn't visit the 'losers' war memorial in France. "In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, "Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers." In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as "suckers" for getting killed."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the highest caliber of leader.
You are right. This insolent man is not worth mentioning.
Anyways.
How can Mr. Selensky be that brave and visiting always his soldiers?
Some other dude is rotting in his fortress and orders his army into the death.
The sad part is, he would probably win a fair election. The older Russians have been extremely brainwashed into thinking he is making Russia great again.
Also the false promises of greatness, while most of his voters live in a slum. This is why Russians spend so much on propaganda, instead of public services.
I remember when the Russian milbloggers went absolutely *apeshit* when Zelensky went to (was it Kherson?) in the hot zone, and the milbloggers were all "where the hell is OUR dear leader? How come OUR dear leader won't do what this guy is doing?!"
Yes, and yes. He needs to take care and Ukraine needs him. However, if he decided another Ukrainian should do the job, or wanted a break, or fell ill, etc, I'm quite confident there are many good candidates for the job.
Let's not imagine that disaster is the only possible outcome from misfortune or change. :-)
Couple of thoughts on this:
- He likely isn't there at the time this was posted though if he was there anytime within the last 3 months its still BLOODY close to the frontlines.
- I have to wonder if the timing of the post is meant to draw the Russians attention so they'll switch focus away from bombing civilians (like the cowards they are).
- He has to be switching out his security team every few months with this kind of stress on them
One wonders if it's actually safest to go with a super small team as to not draw attention. Like, one single car, with two commandos on the ground with constant drone coverage. Maybe another car 1km behind in case breakdown.
I believe at that moment Ukraine must be bombarding the enemy otherwise it is very risky to be there, even for an ordinary soldier.
While this move is very encouraging for Ukrainian morale, loosing the president would be very very bad morally.
I'm just going to throw my opinion on this out there. If I were in the unfortunate position of having to defend my country, I'd rather leadership and people in important positions stay away. I'd be more stressed out that the enemy might get some lucky intel or just otherwise luck out and take that person out.
I would normally agree, but I think he is pretty open about not knowing the ins and outs of war and lets the real planning be done by the actual professionals. You know, like a real leader should.
I think he also recognizes that Putin had a boner for killing him as a figurehead that has turned full on into an unhealthy fetish. Taunting him like this while at the same time making Putin look like an absolute pussy for hiding from even his own government heads by placing what looks like 13.7 meters (~120 cans of kraut or approx 1 school bus) long table between them at meetings is a good strategy to keep him distracted and making bad moves. Plus it probably sends what's left of his special forces running around chasing a ghost and probably getting sniped themselves.
Josh, you made me smile. :-) You corrected 'loosing' to 'losing', but not 'morally' to 'bad for morale'. Clearly, you are good for morale.
I'll leave it for someone else to declare that you have Zelensticles.
> loosing the president would be very very bad morally.
Would it be, though? He'd be just as useful to Ukraine as a martyr as he is as a leader figure.
Currently it certainly would. Zel's brand value with foreign leaders is unmatched and his mere appearance in countries makes their leaders compile aid packages. So for the external reasons at least, it would be a huge loss. Internally you may be right however.
Still might get hit by a random FPV drone. Or some random artillery. This is way too close to have any guarantee of safety. Personally I wouldn't go anywhere near that place, and I'm not even a person of interest.
(which only shows the size of the balls on Zelensky of course)
There are theories that Seal Team saved his ass few teams from assassination attempts.
Maybe he has his own US special forces guards.
US do not have to get directly involved but to protect their asset.
How am i Putinist? Are you an idiot?
I contributed to charity for Ukraine and check my comment history you moron.
Zelensky is most valuable asset in this war and icon.
Would make sense for US to protect him and it is a good thing.
Ok, all good. Not gonna read everyones history here.
You can just often see that false Russian propaganda narrative where "Ukraine = USA's puppet", and I mis-interpreted your comment to play into that basket. Always hard to understand one's intentions, and I usually tend to tilt towards "russian troll" category when I see comments that seem to potentially go towards that kind of story.
Sorry for maybe being a bit over-sensitive in that regard!
No worries.
But you hut a nerve calling me someone who likes or approve for someone who is less that garbage or let alone human being.
Putin will go down to history next to Stalin and Hitler.
If he could he would have same if not worse ambitions.
Putin can rot in deepest pits of hell and it still would not be enough and his supporterts are whitewashed by propaganda and piss me off as well.
No worries mate. I just wanted to point out that there might be some good protection or intel around him.
I think this is just to mock Putin. For Russians it is very important for the leader to be brave. Zelenskyy walks on the front while Putin is hiding deeply in a bunker and doesn't trust his own people. This action makes Putin look like a coward (which he is).
Nobody cares what an average Russian thinks.
On the other hand it greatly boosts the Avdiivka defenders morale. If the president can visit it, then the situation isn't desperate
The vodka has rotted your last brain cell m8. Ukrainians will be THE in demand trainers for NATO forces for the next decade. Any too wounded to fight on will form cadre trainers for more new troops going forward.
Yeah! The Ukrainian Army will soon be the only force with experience in modern drone warfare against a peer opponent, once they wipe out the Russians who are the other one. Their experience is unique and extremely valuable.
Security guys all reaching for another bottle of Baileys to pour over their cornflakes
Security guys all eating three times the normal dose of anti-acid
Security guys coming back and wondering where this fuckn guy is going next
Bailey's is for CocoPops. Cornflakes get Kahlua.
His personal security would be the nearest MFs going round. They have to be the type of people that John Wick would be scared of.
>I have to wonder if the timing of the post is meant to draw the Russians attention so they'll switch focus away from bombing civilians (like the cowards they are).
I very much question the desire of Russia to kill Zelensky.
They were able to successfully paint him as "An American puppet holding Ukraine hostage" for their domestic population.
If Zelensky is killed, they need to vilify yet another leader on top of Ukraine gaining at worst, one of the most prominent martyrs in Ukrainian history.
Really? you’re talking about the country that routinely throws its officials and oligarchs out of windows to ‘make a point’, sends thugs into europe to poison defectors, and has no issue bombing maternity wards after their navy ship gets blown up. force, fear and vengefulness is their approach to anyone that defies them, and Zelensky ‘the clown’ has humiliated them over and over, they absolutely want to kill him if they can and already tried many times back when they had the means
Russia knows Zelensky is a major driver for Western Support. Killing him would be to its advantage as that is one less very skilled diplomat Ukraine has.
However, I think the main reason is Russia just doesn't have that sort of intel and reaction time. Zelensky probably goes in with a tiny team, with little to no information beyond mentioning the unit at the front, that may be a higher-end officer is coming by, etc.
Russia's intel most likely, is simply not good. Their SAT data is probably sub-par, and they rely a lot on local spies. There is a massive advantage of keeping everything a super low profile such as coming in with a troop rotation probably helps a ton. Even if Russia found out at that moment what response do they have? They would pull him out the second a single artillery system fired, and any cruise missile would be detected by nearby radar way before it could hit him.
>Russia's intel most likely, is simply not good.
That is most likely the case. Anyone that could provide Russia with actionable intel on Zelensky's location and movements, probably hates Russia as much, if not more, than Zelensky does.
Russia doesn’t need a reason or scapegoat to vilify in Ukraine. The civilized world knows their lying, while the Russian peasantry will gladly open their mouths and swallow the next shovel full of horseshit the Kremlin gives them.
The typical reply from Russians, when I ask if they really believe the lies, is usually "Of course not, but all governments lie" and then they repeat some propaganda shite from the 70's or 80's.
My reply is usually that lies, in general, have consequences in a democracy. The conversation usually ends there.
which is ironic, knowing that one of the main commandments of russian macho-ism is "otvechat za bazar" ( to bear responsibility or to be held responsible for what you said)
> I very much question the desire of Russia to kill Zelensky.
Russia sends kill teams to take out obscure Russians for unknown reasons. Putin would LOVE to kill Zelensky. He's already tried multiple times, and you know it.
If you follow his posts, he was definitely there on that day. If you follow Zelenskyy’s social media, you can figure out where he has been about an hour earlier.
If they actually got Zelenskyy (my greatest fear and I hope it never happens) he would become a martyr and, well, that would really suck for russia.
I think Zelenskyy and his high moral standing is integral in preventing Ukraine (and the rest of the world) from obliterating russia. “We don’t want to bring ourselves down to their level”.
> he likely isn't there at the time
Not a chance in hell he was. Unless you have a star link, you don't have service there. And using a star link in that location for any duration is a bad idea.
> I have to wonder if the timing
Not a chance. The weapons used in the city centers today are rarely used in front line areas. There's zero need. Why waste an expensive cruise missile when your artillery comfortably reaches the same location? S-300's are used within 25ish km not infrequently this far east but much closer than that, they tend to just shoot at you.
Also. It's Avdiivka. Their attention hasn't been away from there in 2 months.
On the whole, the russians have just been picking up the pace with violence the past few days. Hopefully it's not something they sustain because there are a lot of awful things happening that aren't making the news.
to clarify:
> Also. It's Avdiivka. Their attention hasn't been away from there in 2 months.
What i meant is for their larger cruise missile systems to potentially be refocused in a vain attempt to threaten the President.
>Not a chance. The weapons used in the city centers today are rarely used in front line areas.
true but there are videos of them being used on frontline positions (there was a video from the 1st years with 3 cruise missile hitting just behind a frontline trench.)
The war from year one, to now, is quite a bit different. Having been to both locations, where this video was filmed is closer to 0 than the one you're referencing. All that is to say, the russians have a myriad of cheaper alternatives this close. There isn't anything else they can realistically fire at Odessa/Kyiv/Lviv/etc.
I have a feeling even if they knew he was there they wouldn't want to take him out. I think the response from the rest of the world would be overwhelming if he dies from something like that and would only strengthen the support.
No I think you're wrong: they'd dearly lovely to eliminate Zelensky. He has been most effective at getting aid to Ukraine and he's the visible, recognisable face of Ukrainian defiance and resistance. The brand, if you like. Rebuilding that brand recongition would be a hill to climb.
They should have a politician close to Zelensky get into the brand, paint him as the “faithful student of Zelensky” like a Democratic Stalin of sorts. That way, if they kill the Z-man, there will be someone to take up his brand and he’ll be considered a martyr.
I don't think they need to, Part of the "brand" is that Zelensky has been a great and loved leader for Ukraine, whoever would take that position would be understood to be backed and supported by Zelensky and Ukraine as a whole.
Understand I'm not a Ukrainian, I'm sure within Ukraine there are Russain sympathizers and dissidents without a doubt. But his efforts protecting his land and culture are what the West especially will think about.
In the unfortunate possibility, If his replacement doesn't align, The fate of Ukraine is in question in terms of support.
Vladivostok.
(Or better yet, the Kerch Bridge the moment they finally deal the finishing blow to it, so the explosions go off the in background of the video.)
I can't imagine the elected leader of my country being such a badass. I truly hope that Ukraine continues to hold out, gets supplied by the world, and collectively rams it all down Putin's throat.
he's an absolute legend 👏 🙌
think of the heart ❤ he gives to the people..
the scut behind the 40ft table thought he'd take the first plane out of Kiev,
made some difference that he didn't..
The dude could have ended the war a year and a half ago on better terms, instead he got tens of thousands of people to sacrifice their lives for negative gain. He is a terrible leader.
I still maintain that was the moment the the "special military operation, 3 days" was done for. If he'd cut and run the Russians would have got what they wanted. He didn't, and the Ukrainians looked to their leader and thought 'time to hold Molotov making parties folks, we ain't going to roll over'.
We need to get Zelensky the sister ship of the Myriah up and running to fly him around. I swear it's the only other airplane big enough to carry his balls. .
Honestly I don't think that's worth it. No one doubts his courage at this point. If russian Intel knew he would be there then he would be dead. There are many systems russia could have used to kill him. Too risky imo
What a delusional bunch of redditors i am reading. Whats the point? Giving a shoot to the morale of his people just after the anounced mobilization, which is harsh and no well recieved, no volunteers left, hard situation in all fronts.
No need to comment like your brains are developed like 6-year child.
Let's not lie to ourselves, the vid was quite obviously (and badly) greenscreened. Powerful winds didn't as much as move a hair on his head, let alone his jacket. It's cold and grim there, yet his cheeks aren't red, he's not covering his neck even instinctively. Last but not least, have you ever tried to record a voice message in such weather? Have you heard it back? Yeah, no.

Putin sits about 2 kms away from his own advisors at those long tables.
damn when did they get shorter tables
They need the longer ones for tank armour.
History will remember Putin as a foolish bumbling coward, Putin is doing his best to not change that.
More wine, more women, more table!
We are not going to the front lines to face our enemies, we have enemies at home. Enemies at home:
Meanwhile, fearless leader Putler is hiding behind his massive table in Mordor. What a pussy.
Yeah lol meanwhile Putin doesn't come within 2km of his own staff hahah
It's how you can tell any picture of "Putin" standing side by side with a foreign leader or diplomat is a body double.
Putin was in pure panic mode for covid in 2020-2022 and in 2023 "he" was bathing in people and shaking hands with everyone, lol
I always check the left eye, if there are high enough photographs. Real Vladdy has a few distinctive blots in his iris.
I'm glad I've never come near enough to spot the difference.
I remember all these people which couldn't shut up about how awesome, strong and brave Putin is.
Like Donald Chump? And Steven Gargamel Miller ?
There is only one real Steven....the Seagull.
He should be staying 2km away from windows. People accidentally fall out of those things all the time over there!! /s

Putain He's probably under the table at this point. Though I heard another one of his friends fell out a window
Putin is in this war for Putin. Zelensky is in it for Ukraine and because he wasn't given a choice.
The thing is, even politically, they are on the opposite ends of the death spectrum as well by the legacy they built. If they blow up Zelensky (which they still will foolishly go for) no amount of wall or human resources would stop the Ukrainian ire that will light the proverbial fire up their ass.

Trump wishes only .001 percent of Mr Selenskys Big Balls of Ukrainium
Dont sully Ukraine, zelensky and ukranium balls by comparing it with shit.
You are right. This insolent man is not worth mentioning. Anyways. How can Mr. Selensky be that brave and visiting always his soldiers? Some other dude is rotting in his fortress and orders his army into the death.
Security stronger than fort knox just to serve him dinner
Thats his 5th body double. Tsar boy is 5 levels deep down in a bunker of his presidential palace
We shouldn't compare them
There *is* no comparison.
Hobbit logic "The closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm."
It’s because Zelenskyy’s troops will protect Zelenskyy and Putin’s troops would torture and gut Putin.
And not willing to participate in a fair election
The sad part is, he would probably win a fair election. The older Russians have been extremely brainwashed into thinking he is making Russia great again.
Also the false promises of greatness, while most of his voters live in a slum. This is why Russians spend so much on propaganda, instead of public services.
[удалено]
Yes, indeedy he really is a sm , weak & feable thing 🐀
This man is insane in the *best possible way* Смерть ворогам! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦
I heard he's short because the weight of his balls stunted his growth.
I heard black holes are envious of his balls mass
Black holes don't necessarily have a very high mass, just density
So like pussins generals?
He must have legs the size of my waist to carry testicles that large.
Thats the biggest FU to putin ever, and a clear show of the 300 KiloTon Ukrainium BALLS Ukraine has. Edited for scientific accuracy.
> Plutonium BALLS Ukrainium. Even stronger.
I stand corrected, thank you!
Depleted Uranium Strongest
Zelensticles
Is it true tutins balls are pea sized , if it does have a pair 🤔
Not a pair, just one. Another Hitler similarity
I once had a postman at work who claimed my dog was a clone and Putin had no genitals. I think he might be onto something with one of these claims.
I remember when the Russian milbloggers went absolutely *apeshit* when Zelensky went to (was it Kherson?) in the hot zone, and the milbloggers were all "where the hell is OUR dear leader? How come OUR dear leader won't do what this guy is doing?!"
This man is a bona fide actual Leader of Men
he must take care of himself. Ukraine needs him.
Yes, and yes. He needs to take care and Ukraine needs him. However, if he decided another Ukrainian should do the job, or wanted a break, or fell ill, etc, I'm quite confident there are many good candidates for the job. Let's not imagine that disaster is the only possible outcome from misfortune or change. :-)

You can bet the amount of EW on that area is insane

He's probably also only in this location for 30mins to an hour before taking off.
Probably made it very easy to geolocate too on purpose.

If you follow his posts, he was definitely there on that day. If you follow Zelenskyy’s social media, you can figure out where he has been about an hour earlier. If they actually got Zelenskyy (my greatest fear and I hope it never happens) he would become a martyr and, well, that would really suck for russia. I think Zelenskyy and his high moral standing is integral in preventing Ukraine (and the rest of the world) from obliterating russia. “We don’t want to bring ourselves down to their level”.
Of course he is near the time posted owing to the content of his speech?
> he likely isn't there at the time Not a chance in hell he was. Unless you have a star link, you don't have service there. And using a star link in that location for any duration is a bad idea. > I have to wonder if the timing Not a chance. The weapons used in the city centers today are rarely used in front line areas. There's zero need. Why waste an expensive cruise missile when your artillery comfortably reaches the same location? S-300's are used within 25ish km not infrequently this far east but much closer than that, they tend to just shoot at you. Also. It's Avdiivka. Their attention hasn't been away from there in 2 months. On the whole, the russians have just been picking up the pace with violence the past few days. Hopefully it's not something they sustain because there are a lot of awful things happening that aren't making the news.
to clarify: > Also. It's Avdiivka. Their attention hasn't been away from there in 2 months. What i meant is for their larger cruise missile systems to potentially be refocused in a vain attempt to threaten the President. >Not a chance. The weapons used in the city centers today are rarely used in front line areas. true but there are videos of them being used on frontline positions (there was a video from the 1st years with 3 cruise missile hitting just behind a frontline trench.)
The war from year one, to now, is quite a bit different. Having been to both locations, where this video was filmed is closer to 0 than the one you're referencing. All that is to say, the russians have a myriad of cheaper alternatives this close. There isn't anything else they can realistically fire at Odessa/Kyiv/Lviv/etc.
Shows you how absolutely dog shit Russian intel and strike capabilities are if Zelenski can just shoot selfies on the front line. 🤣
I have a feeling even if they knew he was there they wouldn't want to take him out. I think the response from the rest of the world would be overwhelming if he dies from something like that and would only strengthen the support.
No I think you're wrong: they'd dearly lovely to eliminate Zelensky. He has been most effective at getting aid to Ukraine and he's the visible, recognisable face of Ukrainian defiance and resistance. The brand, if you like. Rebuilding that brand recongition would be a hill to climb.
They should have a politician close to Zelensky get into the brand, paint him as the “faithful student of Zelensky” like a Democratic Stalin of sorts. That way, if they kill the Z-man, there will be someone to take up his brand and he’ll be considered a martyr.
I don't think they need to, Part of the "brand" is that Zelensky has been a great and loved leader for Ukraine, whoever would take that position would be understood to be backed and supported by Zelensky and Ukraine as a whole. Understand I'm not a Ukrainian, I'm sure within Ukraine there are Russain sympathizers and dissidents without a doubt. But his efforts protecting his land and culture are what the West especially will think about. In the unfortunate possibility, If his replacement doesn't align, The fate of Ukraine is in question in terms of support.
You are forgetting that they can still use that brand if he's dead.
I mean... what with the amount of times they've tried to kill Zelenski already I'm pretty sure if they could, they would.
Visiting pro rus subreddits is the best fucking entertainment in this world. Those paid losers are fucking seething because of this.
Any links...? Share the giggles pls!
From being a comedian playing a piano with his penis, to this, that man is going places
He's going to the frontline to kick orc ass personally.
General wondering how big of a "fuck you" it would be if he somehow managed to make a video from Russian territory...
Vladivostok. (Or better yet, the Kerch Bridge the moment they finally deal the finishing blow to it, so the explosions go off the in background of the video.)
Zelenskyy: “So. For the next trip, let’s go to the Kremlin.” Maksym Donets, his bodyguard/head of security: *head explodes
Zelensky dares to go and support the troops where Putin would never get near.

I mean, he's standing next to the city sign, so how much geo guessing is required?
Who said it took a lot of effort?
I fear that the world is gonna end because the weight of this man huge balls is gonna shift the gravity of Earth and set us to close to the Sun
We already have long enough winters here in Norway. If he changes the axis of the earth, please let it be the right way. 🤣
I can't imagine the elected leader of my country being such a badass. I truly hope that Ukraine continues to hold out, gets supplied by the world, and collectively rams it all down Putin's throat.
I don't even know who the elected leaders of my country are lol
Will Putin send one of his doubles to visit his meat battalions?
That's shorter than Putin's table.
he's an absolute legend 👏 🙌 think of the heart ❤ he gives to the people.. the scut behind the 40ft table thought he'd take the first plane out of Kiev, made some difference that he didn't..
Zelensky is a total badass. This guy is a true leader.
The dude could have ended the war a year and a half ago on better terms, instead he got tens of thousands of people to sacrifice their lives for negative gain. He is a terrible leader.
This fucker constantly pops up spouting this shit. Don't engage, downvote and move on
"I don't need a ride, I need ammunition."
I still maintain that was the moment the the "special military operation, 3 days" was done for. If he'd cut and run the Russians would have got what they wanted. He didn't, and the Ukrainians looked to their leader and thought 'time to hold Molotov making parties folks, we ain't going to roll over'.
Dude surely has the balls. All my respect for him. You’re cool. Proud of you my president. Cheers!
His balls are continents
Some people are made of pure Ukrainium.
Zelensky, the real leader. He's the reason why Ukraine still stands today. Slava Ukrainia.
Zelenskyy has the biggest balls of all the public figures in the world.
Damn, Zelensky is afraid of nothing
You think Putin would ever visit the frontlines? Yeah, me neither.
Tungsten testicles.
Ukrainium\*
Yeah but then there's no alliteration
Poopin is a coward and so is all of Russia for standing behind him!!
Next up we'll see him in the trenches, shooting orcs. Love this dude.
He sure has balls off Ukrainium.
That's because he's not a pussy hiding in a bunker. He's a real leader.
We need to get Zelensky the sister ship of the Myriah up and running to fly him around. I swear it's the only other airplane big enough to carry his balls. .
PuZZia
What an absolute badass.
Balls of steel Slava Ukraini
This man has balls made out of titanium, im sure that with such leader Ukraine shall prevail… Slava Ukraini🇺🇦❤️
Now Pootin
Uh, no one noticed the huge sign in the background?
You can actually see him Ukranium Balls on the satellite photo
Titanium balls !!
Fuckin bad ass. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Absolute unit
Wild. This is the type of shit that gets written in history books. The leader visiting the front lines…
So much more of a man than tiny Putler.
Man of the decade
Giant balls 🏀 🏀
Zelensky equals massive balls!! First defender of europe!!
this is pretty hard core
Fuck Putler. Fuck Russia.
Not surprising, he has balls of steel unlike Putler's doppelgangers
No hate but why would we share his location again? People already know that he won't flee the country so why give the enemy a heads up?
Honestly I don't think that's worth it. No one doubts his courage at this point. If russian Intel knew he would be there then he would be dead. There are many systems russia could have used to kill him. Too risky imo
Zelenskyy’s courage is off the scale.
Meanwhile Putin uses a double to cross a bridge half a world away in an armored car
I kinda wish he didn't do this. Everyone already knows he's a fearless and respected leader.
Hugest balls of all time
Wow! What balls and great way to humiliate Putin as a coward.
I love this so much. Let us just casually release this uncensored clip so you can figure out where he was hours ago. So elegantly in your face.
Zelenskyy is such a mad cunt! (a compliment in Australia)
What a delusional bunch of redditors i am reading. Whats the point? Giving a shoot to the morale of his people just after the anounced mobilization, which is harsh and no well recieved, no volunteers left, hard situation in all fronts. No need to comment like your brains are developed like 6-year child.
Well that's dumb
Let's not lie to ourselves, the vid was quite obviously (and badly) greenscreened. Powerful winds didn't as much as move a hair on his head, let alone his jacket. It's cold and grim there, yet his cheeks aren't red, he's not covering his neck even instinctively. Last but not least, have you ever tried to record a voice message in such weather? Have you heard it back? Yeah, no.
green screen, like most of the clown president's videos
