As a Swiss National I am ashamed of our leadersgip. It is a disgrace and out right incorrect on all fronts for the Swiss to act in this manner

Switzerland president's proposal is despicable and must be rejected. If he intends to become a mediator, he must travel or send delegates to Russia. Switzerland is not a neutral "partner" in this situation, had never been anyway. Hypocrite!

People who think that Ukraine is winning are living in denial. They seek comfort in subjective reality and ignore all the facts.

Bravo Ruussiiaa 🇷🇺 💖 🇷🇺 Avante UUURRRAA 🙏

Good to see 61 billon more going into US debt. Its building up by 1 trillion every three month. It alone will bring down clowns.

If you visit the US and drive through the gorgeous northern Virginia countryside, remember those beautiful McMansions are bought with human lives😢.

WHAAAT..?! Ukraine crisis wasn't solved by the US money? I'm so shocked 😉🤦🏼‍♀️🔥

as a former US Navy Corpsman, never in a million years would i have guessed that later in life i would fall in love with the Russian Bear. sigh, if i were 10 years younger, i would leave everything in a heartbeat, and build a new life among true warriors, who have heart and integrity. 😍🤩

We applaud the T O T A L V I C T O R Y of the Invincible Army of the Glorious Russian Federation and its charismatic leaders! Godspeed Russia ! 💫 🇷🇺 💪🤍💙❤ 🐻

Russia SWARMS Krasnohorivka with Upgraded Turtle Tanks Mighty Turtles with Titanium Shovels. "Can you Dig it" said Cyrus "So much Russia winning alone while the EU and Nato lose together"

If you prolong an unwinnable war, you can expect a lot of disastrous days.

A disastrous day? Obviously, those Congress members didn't wave their little Ukrainian flags hard enough ...

It crazy that Ukraine relentlessly continues to fight this war. Normally, every reasonable person will try to end this war. Ukrainians are suffering, but their politicians don't care. All they care about is winning the war, which will never be possible. Russia will keep on taking more towns and villages. Time will come. Ukraine will want to negotiate, but it will be too late.

The only ones suffering are the families of the dead on BOTH sides

Thank you ever so much for your objective assessment of the developments in Ukraine… The world as we know it will never be the same, thanks to Russia for standing up to the West🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

We just had another 65 billions dollars funneled out of America into this pointless and useless catastrophe.

The globalists wanted to make a fool out of Russia. But instead, the globalists ended up making fools of themselves. Let that be a lesson.

YT is deleting reality-based comments on this forum.

The only thing one can say to The western leaders and Zelinsky is, make peace you fools. Think of the people in Ucraina before your own pride and political career.

odessa and kiev before november

It’s spring, the Russian Bear is awake from winter sleep and ready for action, look out. Long live Putin! Z.

The absolute best program about what is happening in Ukraine. Information in detail, precise delivery, no extra graphics, music, sales pitch.... Bravo and thank you, Mr Mercouris

Thank you Alexander for a fine and comprehensive analysis and update on Russia/Ukraine. Welcome news of Russia's advance. Increasingly worrying news for the Ukraine civilian population and this is only going to get worse.

the pace is definitely picking up because since your video it's been confirmed that Russian troops took Ocheretino

So if Ukraine surrenders, does America get a refund? Or is it only for store credit?

Keep grinding Russia 🇷🇺 most of the Ukrainen’s are depending on your people to free them from the NATO Nazi. Thanks Alexander

Ocheretino completely fallen already, as reported on telegram with video proof.

Calling the turtle tank a failure is like saying Ukraine's frontlines aren't collapsing.

Most Western systems have performed poorly against Russian electronic warfare, said Maria Berlinskaya, head of the air reconnaissance support center. "When certain systems arrived here, I won't name which ones, they just fall from Russian electronic warfare. Certain projectiles do not reach, certain missiles with certain navigation. The suppression is carried out by Russian systems. Why? Because the Russians, objectively, have one of the best electronic warfare systems in the world," she said Berlin.

❤😊RUSSIA CONTINUES TO DOMINATE

Your clear headed analysis of the situation in Ukraine is much appreciated.

Btw Ocherertino is fully liberated, I know changes on the ground are really fast and dynamic

G'day Alexander and everbody!!!! Glad once again to your great update.Never change and keep up the good work.😉

Ocheretino has now fallen and it is a serious blow to Ukraine. It is a position on a hill that provides access to the flank and even the rear of other Ukrainian positions The Russian Armed Forces can now develop an offensive in several directions at once as soon as they tighten up the logistics. The operation in Ocheretino was brilliant. The 2nd line of defense of the AFU west of Avdiivka is now gone. In the coming week we will see active painting of maps in red to the west of Avdeevka. Zelensky needs to start explaining why Ocheretino has no strategic significance because Russia will make huge gains now from its fall.

I can give 61 billion reasons why giving Ukraine $61 billion is a waste of the American taxpayers money.

Thanks again from Canada

Thank you Alexander. I have listened to every single program since the start of the SMO. I'm sure your focus on the subject along with our interest, is that it is the single biggest tipping point in the hegemony of the west. The west's debauchery, arrogance, greed and cruelty would eventually be called out, and Russia was the country to do it. I saw the way Russia, China and the other parts of the majority were slowing linking arms back in 2018. They could see where this madness was headed, and here we are--a shadow play of the 30's--elites funding yet another mass blood ritual. But it seems there is a force of good patrolling the horizon.

Budanov. Talking to the BBC does not necessarily imply being alive.

Excellent Alexander

Thanks again Alexander- Yes Baldric …. I have a cunning plan my lord….😂 All the best from down under Lewis Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️🇦🇺

Love how every single video that comes out now includes some form of "Bad day for Ukr"

Great

May God Bless The Holy Warriors of Christendom and Defenders of Mother Russia. May Their Shields Remain Strong ! Uraaaaaaa Uraaaaaaa Uraaaaaaa Russia 🇷🇺

I love Russians ,my formiddable friends go Russia go reach hope safe takecare of each other fight hard youre on the rightside ligitamate reasons salute to Russia from the uk

The war is lost - Gary Kasparov (A real chess master) 😅

Thank you Alexander. You provide second to none news and analysis to us here in the collapsing West. God bless you, sir.

Good day Alexander thank you for all you do 😁

The Irving Kristol Trotsky Brigade just received their $300M check from the federal reserve. Besides buying gold and funding a hedge fund, donating to the council of foreign relations, the rest of the money will go to a new R&R resort in Miami. Thank u US taxpayers.

The rate of Russian advance continues to grow.

Thanking you

Yes the Ukrainians are indeed fleeing from Orechetino there is a video of that on Hindustan Times UKposts channel.

Thank you Alexander, please take good care friend

The Russians are welcome here.

🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪

❤😊THANK YOU SIR

Always looking forward to hearing the true and accurate and latest news from Mercouris.

A US administration's pretext that China is supplying Russia with military weapons is more a case of their wishful thinking ie; that Russia might need such assistance, whereas in actual fact Russia probably doesn't and never will, at least not in order to meet its Ukraine SMO objectives.

❤😊YOU ARE THE BEST

Vugledar ! Freedom soon for Vugledar !

Good update - thank you.

Apr 22, 2024 Update on the conflict in Ukraine for April 22, 2024… - US passes $61 billion spending bill for Ukraine but lack sufficient weapons and ammunition to sustain Ukrainian forces on the battlefield; - Ukraine faces critical shortages of artillery shells and air defense interceptors that the US and Europe are unable to produce in sufficient quantities; - Western media admits Ukraine faces defeat; - The New Atlas

❤😊THANK YOU FOR A FANTASTIC SHOW.

Budanov may well holiday in Crimea. As a guest of the Russians

Great report, thanks

MASSIVE RUSSIAN STRIKE DESTROYS Kharkov (East Ukraine) TV tower (footage of collapse above). Communications antenna for Ukrainian air defenses was installed on the 140m-tall tower before attack splits it in half, crashing digital television signals. - Intel Republic

Alex is correct, the us gave weapons that were not authorized to do so thus, the 61b bill had to be approved.

❤😮UKRAINE IS RETREATING

Great details

Great program, thank you! You are indispensable❤

Good evening Alexander, thanks for the update.

Vuledar has been spared up until now...the Russians have played this brilliantly...once a meat grinder..always a meat grindet

Thank you 😁

Ocheretino is ONLY 23 kilometers distant from Donetz... :(

Blinken goes to China Frankie goes to Hollywood

Thanking you Alex

Great podcast Alexander, you are so insightful, I watch you every day.

The Zelensky clown show is coming to an end! 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Michael Maloof, a former senior security policy analyst at the Department of Defense, pointed out the very same thing. He expressed skepticism about the aid's ability to change the strategic military balance in the ongoing conflict with Russia. According to Maloof, much of the funds designated for Ukraine will end up with U.S. defense contractors to replenish American military stockpiles, thereby circulating money within the U.S. economy while making a big show of supporting Ukraine. He points out that under this arrangement, only older U.S. military equipment will be relocated to Ukraine and that will not enhance Ukraine's military capabilities at all. - TFIGlobal

Arthur Tane recieved a slice of the 61 billion pie people 😂😂😂

"anyway..." the Oracle of London has spoken.

It must be said again: Alexander's analyzes are irreplaceable in this world of chaos. And even if the message is sad and frightening, the truth is always a comfort. Thank you for your incredible work.

Thank you Alexander .

Thanks for the update

Excellent analysis as always!

Grazie Alexander!

I saw a video of two guys from the 47th near ocheritino saying they were the last 2 surviving out of 200 in their division. They were crying and looked broken. Very sad

I guess they'll need another 61 billion dollars...

Thank you Alexander!

ISRAEL PETRIFIED BY POTENTIAL U.S. SANCTIONS: Secretary of State Blinken expected to announce sanctions in coming days against his best bud Israel - specifically on 1 IDF battalion for human rights violations. Netzah Yehuda battalion’s made up of ultra-orthodox soldiers, known as destination for young radical settlers who weren't accepted into any other IDF unit, and it's been on radar of U.S. investigators since late 2022 when they tied up elderly Palestinian man and left him to die out in cold. But PM Netanyahu’s furious, claiming any sanctions against his troops "height of absurdity and moral low". Maybe real "moral low" here is all crimes committed against Palestinians by ruthless IDF as a whole. - Intel Republic

Thank you Alexander. Big respect for your competence. Good day all.

Future headline " A Ukrainian nightmare: The war that could never be won"

This is what has me baffled. Ukraine is collapsing. There can be no doubt about it now. It is a slow motion demolition at present, but it risks picking up its pace. No amount of aid will stop this. It is impossible. So why does the US send this aid? When Ukraine collapses despite the aid, the humiliation will be much worse than if they had just cut their losses.

Your knowledge and understanding of these subjects is simple fantastic, well done Alex, great show as always mare-

Alexander's final comment is extremely important and is almost certainly going to be where we're all headed. Very scary indeed.

I think ocheretino has fallen already.the news is all over Russian media for over 2hours now.

Thanks, Alexander!

Hello Friends! Today is Comrade Lenin's Birthday. What a wonderfully auspicious day. We would do well to recall Lenin's brilliant observation: " When the military struggle comes to an end, the political struggle intensifies." Can truer words be used to describe the combined West's hot-potato hopping politically desperate antics as it comes to the painfully slow realization that Ukraine is lost to the Glorious Russian Federation and invincible, undefeated, heroic Russian Army? Thank You very kindly Alexander for your daily brilliant analyses, we treasure your wise assessments dearly.
