  1. i must say that the land looks lovely, and apart from the winters and Putin its probably quite a nice place to live.

    1. “Bankers will make sure we are in debt, pharmaceutical companies that we feel bad, arms manufacturers will make sure we fight each other, the media that we don’t find out the truth, and governments will make sure everything is legal ….
      Show, the payment is made at the end … “

  2. They are actually gonna pull this off! Absolutely amazing guys, and gals over there…😂

    1. @Yuri HAHAHA! Ypu clever Russians sounded the same just before you lost Kherson and Kharkiv. Ukranians aren’t idiots. They aren’t going to drive their tanks into impassible mud for meaningless gains of a few meters. The weather forecast is for warmth and sun. The counteroffensive will start soon, and you’ll get very quiet.

  3. that contrast of the alarms going off and these kind people acting almost normally… those are some strong people even if they’re not fighting

    1. I’m not Ukrainian and never ever been in a warzone… until i spent 1/3 of last year there.
      3AM: BOOM! get up, sits in the corridor. Wait. 20 min later, straight to bed. Then 5 days later you don’t get up anymore.

    2. Same thing happend in London during the blitz.

      People get used to basically everything in the end.

    3. Yep. Ukraine now has definitely embraced the old British saying, ‘keep calm and carry on’.

    4. @Eh… They are truly absolute legends. Saw a BBC documentary last month they exclusively produced following the workers as they keep the power plants going and the electricity flowing throughout the country, repairing it again and again as it goes, and getting more skilled at it each time, along with the foreign aid they have received from across the world to patch it up and improve it in areas to be more like the rest of some parts of Europe and even Japan. Wishing them ever further success.

  4. I hope Oekraïne prevails asap. So much respect to the way they fight and the passion and strength they display. Real fighters! And you can see where the real power of Sovjets army was coming from. It’s so sad now that Russia is taking away the pride of the battles they’ve fought together against Nazi Germany. This war is ridiculous and atrocious.

    They’re fighting brothers in some sense. Sad 😢

    1. I have heard of “Oekraine” it is a planet in the Markarian 231 Quasar system, the ” Oekraineians” have 8 arms and legs and are fierce fighters!

  5. First Russians could not take Kiev (5 million population).
    Then they could not keep Kherson (1 million population).
    Then they could not take Bakhmut (70 thousands population)
    Then Danish gave Ukraine F16s with permission from Biden and Ukraine won.

    1. ​@Muktadir rahman Sajid the took khershon in a week and gave it up in a week… The have 90 percent of bakhmut and donetsk city is still in Russian hands.

    1. How do you fight a group of people, who’s babushka’s even walk around telling Russian soldiers, their blood will be used to fertilize the soil for spring harvest.

      That’s nerve chilling 🥶

  6. For those who want to be aware of who are the Kremlin bots: they work in pairs, one writes something about Donbas or Zelenskiy, when they get a reply from a thinking human, the other comes in to say they agree with the first bonehead. Don’t interact with them, ignore their comments, they get bonuses for interactions.

    1. @Helen C що? Це смішно. Я не був у Америки, але я був у Україні, Беларусі і т.д. Если вы не понимаете Украинский язык, я русский язычный человек, я жили в Украине много лет до война, это не секрет.

  7. Like, the days before D-day, keep them guessing, make them spread out thier defensive forces. That was the key to the successful landing!

    1. True, but these days, it’s hard, especially with social media and modern satellite. I’m not saying it can’t be done, but it will take so much secret effort

  8. “Our army is fleeing. The 72nd Brigade pissed away 3 sq km this morning, where I had lost around 500 men.” – Wagner boss, Yevgeny Prigozhin

  9. Looks like things are finally shifting now.
    I think the offensive really has begun. We just need to make sure information is as confidential as possible. If anybody knows anything specific that you feel probably isn’t best spreading, keep it to yourself. not the time to look cool right now flapping info about.

  10. The sheer amount of approving and cheering comments by ordinary Russians under videos about the atrocities committed against civilians and prisoners of war in Ukraine were no less shocking to Ukrainians than the war itself.
    We somehow got used to the war, but the realization of who we have been living next to all this time without even knowing it is still terrifying.
    Those barbarians called themselves our brothers.
    Imagine what they would do to you, who they call their enemies, if you let them.
    Not supplying weapons to Ukraine under the pretext of achieving an early peace is like allowing a violator to violate his victim in order to end the violence as soon as possible.

    1. Lol if there was ever a bot I would assume it is the program copy pasting the same message an unreasonable amount of times.

  11. When every expert gives only hours till the collapse of bakhmut for seven plus months straight just for Ukraine to send them packing 😂. I hope this is a sign for things to come.

  12. Fear has always been a great weapon in war. But it doesn’t work when your opponents are fearless.

    1. it don’t work People want to live there lives and they will fight for it at any cost. no one will just lay down and die. even if your out numbered 10 too 1 your going to put up a fight.

  13. This is probably one of the more interesting videos I’ve watched since the war began.

    Years ago I was in Iraq with the US Army, and I remember it taking us about 2 months to get used to the constant sounds of artillery. For some it was less time, others more, but generally speaking 2 months was about the average.

    It’s interesting to see how long it took a population of people who were, largely, not trained for war and little exposed to its horrors prior to the war beginning, to get used to the same. I would imagine for many they’ve long since grown accustomed to it. But I would also not be surprised if, years later, the sound of a siren would also illicit some PTSD response in them, I know it does for a lot of people who, at the time, were completely un-phased by it, but years later had issues.
