Here’s what others had to say:
@papaquals
So starlink is still working for Ukraine. Time to shut it down completely.
@LizaliseMpotyi
Once Russia starts using Belarus airspace ‘ western leading will be all over the news saying Belarus is attacking Ukraine.
@EA-np2fh
Once again it’s clear that this is a war of NATO against Russia.
@kellywills5852
NATO has definitely crossed the red line in my opinion and I am a Canadian.
@andrewmckenzie292
NATO will goad Russia into a conflict against NATO then claim it was Russia’s fault and the millions of brainwashed western masses will believe them.
@Princip666
The fact that NATO states did not take down drones entering their air space means they are a direct party to the conflict and a legitimate targets for retaliation.
@dhpye
NATO makes me literally sick. Their reckless games are a crime against humanity. Such arrogant fools.
@harrybreon5326
NATO truly believes Russia is bluffing with their threats. But anyone who thinks the US is not providing the targeting for these strikes is living a lie.
@BalHarry
NATO allowed to attack from their soil/airspace = NATO declared war on Russia.
@Automatko
Stop talking about Ukraine drones .. this are NATO drones …
@TK421-53
They want Russia to invade the Baltics, they want to trigger an Article 5 escalation. They really think they can contain the war and defeat Russia on the battlefield.
@alwaysfourfun1671
The NATO war against Russia was started by NATO a long time ago. NATO pretends innocence, but keeps attacking. NATO is endangering the European people and must be disassembled.
@banjalucki_andjeo_cuvar
Well this is an obvious declaration of war from Latvia (NATO) to Russia.
@maximusdikkus
Baltic states are behaving in a suicidal manor. By allowing Ukraine to use there airspace to attack Russia now Russia is able to intercept drones over these states legally under international law.
@zombieseezombiedo
NATO members providing their airspace for millitary drones?
This is going to end well.
I can’t blame Russia for anything it does.
@penoge
It is correct that Russia could not intercept the Ukrainian drones above the territory of the Baltic states while the attack still was going on. BUT NOW Russia can attack these states because an attack on Russia from their territory has happened!
@fingerprint8479
The Baltic states are doing everything in their reach to end as radioactive wasteland for several centuries…
My message to the Kremlin:
Let them have their wish!
@georgecoucourakis3306
The West continues to provoke Russia. When the sh.t hits the fan, it will be too late for tears.
@earwigbox1
The Baltic states have been nothing but trouble for NATO. They are blinded to all logic by hate for Russia. From Banning the russian language to treating their Russian minorities as second class citizens, to helping manipulate Ukraine into wasr with Russia.
As a proud Briton I wish Russia and the Russian people well. I envy them having a leader and government that puts them, the Russian people and his country Russia first. Leaders in the West shoukd take a lesson!!!
@IvailoTrayanov
Zelensky must understand that when you have Trump in the front and Putin at the back, Ursula won’t save you…
@xspot-y44
NATO wants to destroy Russia, Wake Up before it’s too late
@genes.3285
Much of the MSM news about Starlink being throttled and Trump not supporting the war is misinformation. We’re in a hall of mirrors.
@whatalegenddamn
The EU is desperate they lost their proxy war against Russia. They lost Billions of money they will never see again. Now they basically ask for World War 3.
@DanielBritoist
If this action was with the US they would strike with nuclear weapons.
@wuuduu609
If these UA drones fall down at these NATO (North Atlantic Terrorist Organisation) countries grounds, Russians will be blamed as drone owners and attackers.
@ComradeKranky
The US/NATO/Israeli axis of evil must be defeated and destroyed for the future of humanity.
@JoachimvonScheele
Ukraine is a US vassal state. Anything that looks like a conflict between the two, is just pure theater.
@reivanen
It’s time Russia starts using Belarus for their attacks.
@puggleski6097
Latvia will regret this moment of indecision. Where they chose to surrender their sovereignty to the capricious whims of that thief and tyrant Zelensky.
@marshallsac646
NATO wants war with the RF they dont care about repercussions.
@selekolela8805
Zelensky the puppet of Europe, they are lucky Russia is holding back.
@barneymagee3285
None of the climate change worriers seem concerned at all about the pollution of Mother Earth..
@leofiredog
EU citizens need to turn on their governments before its too late.
@leons.9806
Dima is correctly calling it what it is “the Ukrainian side“
NATO leading the attacks.
@aZebroadcast
In an attempt to goad Russia into attacking, the EU is demanding that drones fly through NATO/EU countries, serving both as protection and as a provocation.
They are doing everything they can to start World War III.
The EU determines, finances, arms and directs Ukraine’s war strategy.
This was discussed at the latest EU summit behind closed doors.
This is the only logical explanation.
@henryfriedel3984
The “West” seems lost. War, riots in many cities, political division to extremes … no energy, no economy, bad ideologies like gender and climate scam, it is all a mess of destruction and no way out.
@andrewwilson8317
If the Ukrainians had permission from a NATO country to use it’s airspace for an attack on Russia then a very dangerous line has been crossed. Russia has the right to defend itself. Russia will shoot down any aircraft , manned or unmanned, that presents a threat.
@cosimo7770
Wake up, YT commentators. The Trump-Zelensky war of words was pure theatre, to distract Russia and you. The attack on St. Petersburg was impossible without US Starlink and US planning at every level.
The US war on Russia is long-term, and will continue with or without Zelensky.
@jerrybriardy
NATO must want a world war. Because this is how you get a world war.
@nickhumphries6220
The answer is the same number of drones onto Lviv. Ukraine’s second capital. Isolate the city and remind the US they will get no diesel unless they stop Zelensky.
@yusufmoore
Why is Russia playing with Ukraine? if they are using Nato assets and airspace to attack Russia why don’t Russia just go to full out war and obliterate them and put an end to NATO’s games.
@MrAmhara
NATO is baiting Russia to counter attack a NATO member in order to drag America into a direct war with Russia.
@razvanvidru-h2j
These are not Ukrainian drones, they are NATO drones, launched by NATO from the territory of Latvia and Estonia. The narrative that the drones entered from Ukraine, towards Russia, and then towards the Baltic countries, is only trying to create the impression that it was a Ukrainian attack, because the only other alternative, the real one, is that it was a direct NATO attack.
@NoneOfyourbusiness-ob2yz
No, NATO and the EU want to be able to declare war but not fight it, endless fony war. If war is declared there will be marshal law, the governments can take away our rights, take our money, etc, etc. NATO can’t fight Russia they will lose, their cities and infrastructure destroyed, even worse airspace above Europe would cease. This airspace closure didn’t occur even at the height of Covid, what would it cost, the EU couldn’t survive. So it is all a sham meant to enslave us and let our traitorous governments off the hook.
@mikeperr8701
Putins biggest mistake was not using nuclear weapons the first day. This would have confined the war to Ukraine. Now he will have to nuke all of Europe to finish the war in Russias favour. Russia is losing the drone war, soon it will have no choice.
