  1. Ukrainians are very kind and peaceful people. Now we know they are also brave as hell πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ’ͺ

  2. Without special training, it’s amazing a volunteer humanitarian driver knew to remember names of other prisoners. One more example of the quality of Ukrainians for the rest of the world to follow. πŸ’ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ•ŠπŸŒ»

    1. American soldiers captured by the Vietcong did this in the Vietnam War. Each prisoner had to be taught by other prisoners the full list of names of other Americans in the prison compound and practice reciting it every day. They never knew which one of them would be the first to be released or get a chance to escape. This is not a new idea. This is important and needs to be done each and every time this happens to human beings. I’m glad he had the presence and the mind to do it.

    2. Um why don’t we all stop replying to Mr. Delusional Africa and not give him any attention? He is loving this wasted time on him. If he is ignored, he has no affect on anyone,so make him feel like he doesn’t matter and neither are his opinions!

    3. You’ve obviously never been to jail ultimate equalizer and it can be a bonding experience if survived.

    1. @Emblem of Vigilance I see you’re missing all my points and spreading Russian propaganda without source would imply otherwise. It must be difficult for you to comprehend the things I’m saying since English clearly isn’t your first language.

    2. @Emblem of Vigilance If something is independently verified across multiple organizations with no coordination with each other that’s called truth.

  3. This is what they mean when they say war is ugly. The ugliness to it has no limit, it goes on and on. Dear God, please make it stop.

    1. @George Andrews no people have hurt people. It was their conscious decision. He is right because after I pray πŸ™, I feel a whole lot better. It’s the hope of better things that keeps one feeling alive.

    2. @Diana Bryner hope and religion are not linked . You are praying to yourself nothing is listening or changing anything because of it.

    1. @Sarah Palmer People like this guy live by the creed “If it’s s a problem I don’t have, it shoukdnt be someone else’s excuse.” But the moment these people DO have a problem, society owes them assistance.

    2. @Matthew Neddeau And so much more…Soviets piloted North Korean and North Vietnamese fighters, manned SAM sites with them and assisted on the ground with artillery targeting. Soviets likely killed a fair number of Americans over the years.

  4. good man, even in the bleakest of situations, find a way to resist and gather Intel.πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    1. @Get on the cross and don’t look back I’m sure many Ukrainians were praying as the bombs were dropping. That many people is Syria were praying when bombs were dropping there. That many people in Yemen are praying as man-made hell on earth is happening every day. That people in Africa pray as their children due of starvation. When is god going to answer? When is he going to help the faithful you pray to him? Remember at the same time you’re praying for this, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church is praying that Putin prevails.

  5. The depths of cruelty and depravity perpetrated by the Russian soldiers knows no bounds.
    May all those missing people be released back to their loved ones.
    God bless all the people of Ukraine πŸ™

  6. Horrible behavior, not acceptable for any country to do this to non-combatants, regardless of what other countries have done or keep doing. This needs to be called out here for UKR and for other countries facing similar types of aggression.

    1. They might have to rescue the 1,000 held captive in Siberia too. They can deNazify Russia the entire way there.

  7. Praying that everyone of the Ukrainian people that are in the russian camps get to go home to their loved ones.
    Praying for all of Ukraine’s people πŸ™ β™₯️ πŸ™

    1. @Anita Snider god can hear your prayers without telling youtube. you tell youtube for admiration. you are making it about yourself.

    2. prayer? prayer?? what will that do?? If there was a god, he/she/it wouldnt have let this happen to start with!! Religion, war and money are the three things this world can do without. Religion has opressed so much over the years, just imagine how far science would have adavnced if the church didnt treat scientists as ‘witches and deamons’ back in the early days.

    3. @Pablo Hassan God gives us free will if the choices that you make don’t end in a good way, maybe you should give your life to God,his way always is so much better…I will pray for you.

  8. Targeting civilians is illegal and evil. Targeting a representative of a third party not at war would be an act of war?

  9. Absolutely disgusting.
    I wish the families and the captives strength of a thousand men and may they find their way home well and sound.

  10. Very smart to remember names like that to let their families know. People have probably been doing similar things throughout history.. I read that for sure American POWs during the Vietnam war took extensive measures to memorize names and information, in some cases making up rhymes, acronyms, or songs to help them recall everything correctly once released. Glory to Ukraine!

    1. @Chester Mosburger Yes, but Vietnam was worse in terms of US torture and ferocity, like Iraq and Afghanistan, later.

  11. How deeply sad that we still live in times where a crazed man can rule over a beautiful countryside.

  12. β€œThe world is in more peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.” -Dr. Albert Einstein

  13. I have been volunteering at a Ukrainian refugee camp in Poland. Many women come in needing plan b pills because of rape by Russian soldiers. There needs to be accountability when this is over and justice needs to be served. It won’t fix what is happening but it will set an example.

    1. Thank you so much for working for the good of humanity. I can’t even imagine how hard it is on you. Please keep helping.

    2. Mi Polska 1990 how many women do you estimate have been raped by Russian soldiers in the refugee camp you are at? Know that is a sweeping question but I am curious about the sheer numbers.

  14. The Russian system has always been reckless, brutal and shameless. Kudos to the Bravery of the Ukrainian Resistance.
