  1. Zelenski is the man of this decade …and the defenders of Mariupol are men and women of timeless heroism..!

    1. @13shadowwolf
      There’s footage coming out of war crimes on both sides.
      Both sides are proudly posting videos showing torture and execution of their enemies

    2. @ЭЮЯ of course, you have a proof to back up your claims right? I think the worst part for these russians is that they are being sent back to russia

  2. Zelenskyy! 100%!! He’s a true leader and Patriot to his country and people! Stand with ukraine! Glory to ukraine! Russia is a terrorist state! Deplorable and disgusting! Zelensky and Ukraine fight not only for their own country and their own freedom but for freedom of the whole world! Their example, their courage, is what inspires generations!

    1. The Ukrainian people have been an inspiration to all countries of the world to fight for their democracy. Thank you, President Zelensky, and all the Ukrainian people. You are all heroes to the world!

    1. Where is the report about the Russian soldiers who returned from Ukrainian captivity? Their arms and legs were cut off or shot through, all soldiers with traces of torture, emaciated. Where is the report about Russian prisoners of war???

  4. Don’t be sorry for your tears, love. You’ve earned the right to them. Bless you. I hope you and your loved ones recover from this. Glory to Ukraine. 🇺🇦

    1. ❤I’ve nothing to add here except to again bless these people and to hope they are with loved ones now.
      And as a former serviceman and veteran, I can tell you that tears are natural on a homecoming.
      Slava Ukraine.

    2. @13shadowwolf Zelensky is a Nazi war criminal who deserves the death penalty. Only the Nazis consider him a hero.

    3. @ЭЮЯ really, he’s a Nazi? How so? Go dig up some reports of how he’s connected to them.

      You are a Russian Propaganda bot.

  8. Wonderful, wonderful! Zelensky! Yay! Person of the Year!
    Of course, it had to be Zelensky, who else could it be!? Slava Ukraine. Peace and victory to the brave citizens of Ukraine!

    1. @ЭЮЯ seriously, spend your time doing something meaningful. Make a contribution to improving the lives of others instead of trolling utube and being oppositional about comments you do not agree with. I feel sorry for you if this is all you have. Peace.

    2. @marika lathem seriously, spend your time doing something meaningful. Make a contribution to improving the lives of others instead of trolling utube and being oppositional about comments you do not agree with. I feel sorry for you if this is all you have. Peace.

    3. @ЭЮЯ This is so childish just repeating her words back. Why are you wasting your time with comments no one believes?

    4. @ЭЮЯ There reports on Russian prisoners of war on YouTube. Why don’t you search for them instead of pointlessly trolling,
      You might learn something

  9. I’m very pleased that President Zelenskyy has been recognized as “Person of the Year” by Time Magazine. Certainly meritorious and well deserved, he has demonstrated throughout this conflict in Ukraine that he is committed to the oath he took to office when he was elected President.
    Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

    1. @Phil MaCrackin Not if yourconsider that the jews were probably in control of hitler? I bet they brought hitler out when they seen the anger building in the german citizenry. What better way to destroy germany and start WW2. Now they fight to start WW3. LEAD THE SHEEPLE TO RUIN. LIKE THE Q PSYOP. then switch puppets at election time. 😂

    2. @ЭЮЯ You mean the guys who got more weight after prison than before? You mean these guys, who then moved to RUS media and told them, that they received nothing to eat?
      You mean these POWs?
      This video alone shows how skinny Ukrainians are after RUS imprisonment. It reminds me of Nazi-Germany KZs. Honestly,… where is the difference between Nazi-Germans in 40s and Nazi-Russia nowadays?
      Ask yourself why Russia stationed POWs close to the front lines in Donetsk? Ask yourself why RUS or pro-Russian DNR killed these POWs in Olenivka. Either they tortured them severly and couldn’t release them with such deformations or they just hated these Mariupol fighters for their persuasion.
      Ask yourself why red cross is allowed to visit POWs in Ukraine, but not in Russian captivity. How much more “facts” do you need?

      btw. What report of Russia do you want to hear? The one of attacking the bridge where their “professional” FSB provided different evidences of truck? Or the fake satelite pictures of MH 17? I could give you so many evidence about how Russian and their pro-Russian terrorists from LNR/DNR faked their terror acts for 9 years. And this just in Ukraine.
      There is even more for Near East and Africa!

      Even Russian soldiers don’t believe their government and ministry. Why should we believe in one of their reports made by their own state media? Today there was another talk by Russians who said, that Russia has to be silent when it comes to quite everything negative inside Russia. They try to avoid the same criticism by independent journalists as US had in Vietnam. Or do you believe RUS treats their prisoners well, while their own mobilized soldiers got nothing. No beds, no equipment, no supplies, even no buildings to sleep!

  10. for some their lives are still waiting for them, but for some everything they knew and love was in Mariupol and is now but ashes in the wind… and they know that…they have on one left to call, no one to tell that they are finally home and free… because they are alone… and I feel the worst for them their recovery will be so much harder because they may have survivors guilt, wondering why them them and not the ones they loved…on top of getting over being tortured physically, emotionally, and the psychological torture it will take years to get over, if ever….. and lets hope that is all they went through…but never ask!!! they have been through too much, they already look like the ghost from another war walking through the halls… and if you weren’t taken back by it you need to watch up on your history channel…. I hope they heal… and are able to live new lives…
    SLAV UKRAINI!!!
    💙💛SLAVA HEROYAM!!!!!!💙💛❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤‍🩹💙💛

  11. No other personality to contest Zelenskyy choice, nobody can be closer to him in this category. Congratulations President Zelenskyy, you deserve more than this award, you raise the bar of every President.👍👍👍👏👏👏

  12. I am so happy that they’re home, and sorry that you had to go through being in a Russian prison. Glory to the heroes of Ukraine! The US stands with Ukraine!
