  1. What is impressive is the speed with which Ukraine is taking back places, It Took Russia months to invade those places and Ukrainian soldiers are taking those places back in matter of days, I hope that Ukraine can continue and win

    1. As I click, Ukraine has won the war ending the remaining Russian soldiers to surrender peacefully. Crimea has to concede to its motherland Ukraine for peaceful transition.

  2. This is a demonstration of the courage, the bravery and the resolve of the Ukrainian people. And it is not just the result of the Ukrainians being supplied by the west. The people in Afghanistan and Iraq were given even better arms and ended up surrendering the instant the Americans left. This just shows that without courage and determination people can never be free. And this also exposes Putin’s lie that “Ukraine wanted to be liberated by Russia.”

    1. @Bernard Edwards Yes it does. That is why the UK is a full democracy according to the democracy index.
      Ukraine from 2014 has been implementing a number of decentralisation reforms that are still ongoing. Their slow but steady implementation that couldn’t be stopped by pro russian politicians/russian agents were one of the reasons Russia invaded Ukraine. That said, from 2014, Ukraine has internationally recognised free and fair elections.
      Look up the „democracy index” and a list of reforms required by the UE, reforms that Ukraine has already passed and reforms that it still needs to pass. Also, check reports from international observers of Ukrainian elections, and EU reports on the implementation of reforms.
      Funny how you make such bold claims without providing any evidence or even explanation of why you came to such conclusions, yet you call other people fools.
      You present a russian level of ignorance.

    2. @Sheila Boston This is a really good point Sheila. Almost all of Europe is supplying Ukraine today. And if it wasn’t for that, the USA alone couldn’t have accomplished much.

    3. @Marty4650 Does that really matter when the quality of US arms is greater and the US is giving more to Ukraine than all of Europe combined? Sorry, but Sheila is stretching it with her claim that this a team effort. The US always carries the ball in wartime.

  3. Ukraine has suffered greatly because of Russian forces over the course of this war. They’ve lost their homes, their friends, and their families, and yet, even though Ukraine forces have been losing ground for some time, they’ve finally begun their counterattack against their invaders. This push against Russia will help them regain the territory they’ve lost and is a show of strength that they won’t bow down to Putin’s tyranny!

  4. Such brave troops! So determined and driven. Ukraine will succeed and win! Glory to Ukraine and God bless all of you!

  5. With thanks to You the USA and and here in the UK and other nations who have supported Ukraine from day 1, But without the bravery on determination of the Ukrainian people this could not have happened, They have shown the world the kind of people they are, a small country has humiliated the so called mighty Russia and their dictator terrorist leader, Slava Ukraine they are not only fighting for their own country but for us all and the future of our children x

  6. This war has taught me one thing. No matter how big your opponent is, you keep fighting till you can’t fight anymore. Ukraine had its back against the wall and fought. To Ukraine I salute you… 🫡🫡

    1. @Everything Isalie your answer – insert MAGA cult talking points. By the way, you people always point out the “constitutional republic- not a democracy” part as if thats some important point. Like someone named Tucker told you it was either or to prime you.

    1. “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17

      “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39○

    2. @Matt26 Or she. The lack of free choice, what a hideous thing to “respect.” I would rather look to those people who do have a choice, and respect them for their choice if it’s deserving.

    3. The modern soldier also needs superior technology to draw strength from. Even inferior men with weaker morale can best a better one with just the right clickies. I’m just saying that they both regularly take each other out, and that superior technology is one of the biggest factors concerning only strength.

    4. I completely doubt you are a vet, because that sounds like something you read in a book, and not how us vets would ever talk. Sign up, friend. Be a super mech warrior and save the world. “limitless source”… that’s sketchy af.

  8. Ukrainian’s are BADASS! Cheering for you. True Hero’s in defending their Country. Can’t imagine Their losses, and the horror they have seen and experienced. Seems to make them more determined to defend their families, their people, their home.

    1. If a small country like Ukraine kicks a world power’s behind, n this case would they then displace Russia as such and would Ukraine then become a world power?

  9. The Ukrainian people are amazing. They live by the same value’s we do here in America. They are our brothers fighting for freedom and all of us free people need to support Ukraine until the war is over.

  10. Really proud of the Ukrainians, their fortitude and creativity in the conflict as evidenced by this latest battle.

    That being said, this is a battle not the war, a significant gain but they have to hold this territory. The Russians will be regrouping, we’ll see what that brings

    1. @Igor I live in Kiev and have never been out of here, I do not even need to watch the channels to understand that “Goodwill Gestures” will continue, the Russian army was only strong on TV.

  11. The Ukrainian people are remarkable!
    We all knew at the start that Ukraine would have no choice but to entirely defeat and completely humiliate Putin and Russia, and that is what they intend to do.
    I fully believe that Ukraine will successfully retake all of their land, including Crimea.
    Slava Ukraini!

  12. The world supports the Ukrainian people. Please keep piling up those Russian tanks, preferably along with the occupants!
    Stay strong Ukraine !! 🟦🟨

    2. I know you don’t know me nor I you and we never will but nothing touched or broke my heart more than when Russia invaded Ukraine, I am not Ukrainian nor is really anyone I know. The thought of someone taking your home, under false pretense by brute force outraged me – anyone who has a heart, courage and a sense of right and wrong feels for you right now. The world feels for Ukraine. God BLESS UKRAINE a win for you is a win for the world and all the people I know are incredibly impressed with your bravery and conviction.

  14. Give them marders, give them leopards, and give them whatever else they need. Because they already give their lives.
    Stay strong brave ukrainians. 🇺🇦
