    1. @Lo Ve after 5 minutes of dumping i don’t smell nada so you do get used to it. On the other hand id think their getting hit off with every bag they open

    2. Even if you triple mask using a simple surgical mask it still get thru. Even n95 plus working the whole day and weeks. It would be a waste. Let the med supply be use with prioritization in mind.

    1. Like Vladimir Makarov said in mw3 All it takes is the will of a single man …

  1. “160 body bags” is a rather disrespectful way to refer to 160 corpses. handing over bags isn’t the point, they’re just packaging.

    1. @Charlotte Bowes i agree, im really disgusted by stupid insensitive clishas. There is no peace when there is no justice.

    2. @Sunny Wynn Easy, it’s not stupid. The intent is there for the dead, but it’s a dismissive and conclusive statement.

      My approach was to pose a curious question. Does this satisfy your soul?
      I’ve watched 40 years of torture and death, my answer is no.
      And at this point, I’m over disgusted and entitled enough to know better 💋

  2. I’m thankful to all the citizens, who keep Ukraine functioning through the war. Everyone working together for Ukraine, their country! From the morgue workers, electric linemen, funeral services, firefighters, farmers, etc. The soldiers and security services who defend the nation are heros and so are the workers trying to keep society functioning for as many people as possible. People facing death to fix electrical lines, fight fires, deliver goods, and trying to farm and feed the world. Morgue workers trying identify and return soldiers to their loved ones on such a massive scale is heartbreaking. As we see our country divided and trying to tear each other down it saddens me. We can’t even solve or agree on our issues. When I look at Ukraine I see a nation coming together to defend its existence, its sovereignty, for Democracy! SLAVA UKRAINI!

  3. Atrocities on innocent people must be strongly opposed, no matter where in the world they’re being inflicted.

  4. May these Ukrainian soldiers Rest in Peace and their loved ones be comforted by Our Lady of Zarvanytsia who cradled her Son after he died.

  5. ⚡The Austrian Ministry of Defense announced the impossibility of delivering heavy weapons to Ukraine.

    According to the military expert of the Austrian defense establishment, Colonel Markus Reisner, the most valuable routes for delivering weapons to Ukraine are already controlled by the Russian Army, railways are damaged, and trucks with weapons are under fire from the Russian military.

    That is why military equipment is either impossible to deliver, or they are trying to deliver in small batches.

  6. Back in either World War 1 or World War II the soldiers used to put their tags in their booth in case they get their heads blown off but I can’t imagine the pain the family members for those bodies are going to go through🤔

  7. Title is misleading. This was mutual exchange between Ukraine and russia 160×160. russia was not the only one to hand off the diseased

  8. “The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation in Ukraine.

  9. Beautiful strategy; as an Indian I loved it 🎯💙☁️ I would love India to buy more crude oil from Russia, to help support the war 🙂

  10. The fins give up part of their territory to end the blood shed, i believe ukraine should do the same. Because whats the point of taking back all the territory when their is no more infrastracture to return to. The aftermath of the conflict should be considered by politicians, that includes the economy that was destroyed by the russians.
