That soldier petting his kitten and speaking broken English was rather touching to be honest. "If we win. I stand Ukraine. Make a family. My children live in the freedom country". Beautifully said. Great reporting.

This woman who is doing the reporting is really remarkable. None of the major networks, as far as I know, have reporters that are getting down in the trenches. They have a stand-off and use "experts' to define the war approach. I have a lot of respect for reporters that actually deal with the war on a very human basis.

"My children will live in freedom". A truly humbling experience hearing of the soldier's feelings.

I'm sure that Kitty is very therapeutic for the soldiers to have. I'm sure it gives them so much more comfort than most know. Prayers for them all.

This soldier....true hero!! Left comfortable life ,warm place where he was with his gf and now figting for his country. Trully this is act of heroism.

"I have super power, I am Ukrainian." I loved that :)

Wow, Lindsey Hilsum is older than I am and hitting the trenches. Amazing work. Watching these war reports I am always struck by how the Ukrainian soldiers smile and laugh so often. God bless all of you.

Mad respect for this bird. She's reported from every war zone

You are one brave lass, Glory to the hero's

That man in the trench with the kitten, speaking about wanting to start a family and is fighting for them to live with freedom just brought me to tears. Isn’t that what we all want? I’m so sick of leaders who send people to fight battles they won’t fight themselves, or wouldn’t send their own children to fight in. (This goes for all leaders not just the dictator Putin) when us normal people just want to live normal lives with the freedom to live how we choose. I hope that man, and everyone fighting for Ukraine , gets their wish when this is over.

The guy with the kitten, cats are extremely decerning creatures and only go to folk they trust, that tells me everything about this guy. He is a genuine man doing what he has to, I hope he gets his wish and has a lovely family when this is all over. Now world there needs to be serious discussion opened up about peace and how to end this war. I hear little to nothing about peace, the powers that be need to start now!!!

1:30 "We have superpower", "What's your superpower?" "I am Ukrainian, haha!" 🇺🇦🦸‍♂️🇺🇦

I know this has to be reported but crazy to be that close to the front and that level of danger. Hats off to you and your team.

This older woman is amazing. She has the guts to go in that mud to report what’s going on. My respects to her and the Ukrainian soldiers!!

As an Afghan veteran, speaking only for myself, I am truely humbled to watch this.

“We have superpower.” “What is your superpower?” *”I am Ukrainian”* Stand strong, Ukraine 🫡

Brave lady , even braver Ukraine warriors 💪🇺🇦❤

God Bless this Ukrainian soldier. May he live to raise a family in a free and democratic Ukraine. Slava Ukraine!

I feel so blessed as I sit inside of my warm home. It is cold outside and we still have quite a bit of snow from last week but I am warm with plenty of food, warm bed and clothes. The young brave soldier with that little kitten has literally brought me to tears, big tears. The soldier has such a kind face, what a gentle soul he has. He looks so tired. He smiles but yet there's so much uncertainty on his beautiful face. I say an extra special prayer for Vadim and his little buddy that they will both somewhere safe with his girlfriend and children soon. The innocent people, children, and creatures that are dying all because of a madman's ego... it just makes me sick and so freaking angry and heartbroken at the same time. My husband and I volunteer with animal rescue groups. God bless these people for going in to these shelled out buildings with collapsed roofs into the basements and rescuing the animals that have hidden there for weeks. It warms my heart to see that. I wish this would just stop like everyone else so that these beautiful people can start to rebuild their country and their lives and try to heal. I pray so hard constantly that these brave men and women will be able to get back home to their families and loved ones safely. I pray for all of the children and creatures, they are the truly innocent ones here. The people in Ukraine absolutely amaze me how resilient and brave they are while caring for God's creatures during this horror show. Putin has lost this war but he will drag it out until the bitter end. He lost his soul a long time ago.... he doesn't care about silly things like souls and lives. He has no reward waiting for him in heaven, he chose to pick his treasures here on earth. I will continue my prayers and donations for Ukraine and I pray I am able to visit this beautiful country one day and meet the people. Zelenskiy seems like such a fine man who loves and genuinely cares about his country and the people. Good ALWAYS prevails over evil in the end. Stay strong and know The Lord is with you, keep fighting the good fight. I pray that the people of Russia will fight on their own ground. Fight for their freedom that they've never known. There is nothing for them in Ukraine but certain death. Glory to Ukraine! Much love and respect from The United States Of America 🇺🇦🇺🇸💙💛💗✌

to see that young soldier with his little purple doll on his back pack problaly his daughters just brought tears to my eyes. 😢 What we can do to each other has humans is really crazy.

Channel 4 has an amazing and courageous reporter in Lindsey Hilsum. This gave a true feeling for the conditions the Ukrainian heroes are going through to defend their country.

This is proper reporting! I hope you're paying Lindsay well, she's a consumate professional.

This woman is incredible. Her calm and professionalism through all of that.... incredible. And as for the soldiers... "Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die.".... war sucks.

Thank you for your bravery: getting out there in the trenches and reporting right from the battlefield. The world knows what's happening in my country thanks to courageous correspondents like you!

That guy with the cat, his eyes and words, that really struck a chord.

The most impressive thing about these brave men is that they always find a smile, some sense of tragic humour, the deepest of human traits: laughing in face of near death, because of a much higher purpose. The very definition of a hero. Russians are forging Ukraine into a nation like no one. And Russia will lose.

Freaking AMAZING report C4!!! The camera-man and that reporter- wow!! I've been following the war since day 1 and that has to be the most incredible and scary front-line reporting that I've seen so far. Just unbelievably powerful, they are literally standing on the edge of the meat grinder.

...this reporter and her team deserve some sort of an award...their reporting has been unwavering and brave,All to communicate with the rest of the world the different facets of War.

An excellent report! Much respect. And you are a very brave lady! Also lots of respect. Didn't think after over 100 years trench warfare was going to happen again. So sad. Slava Ukraine!!!!

Lindsey Hilsum and her team's dedication to journalism brings home the reality of this war. I thank them for their service.

This lady reporter is amazing,, I hope she stays safe and God bless her and the ukrainian soldiers that are on those front lines may they have victory soon.🙏🇺🇦

Great report. Lindsey Hilsum has guts. Good luck to all soldiers in Ukraine 🇺🇦

Big thank you to the reporter who was in the trenches with Ukrainian soldiers so we could all see. She sure is brave I pray for her safety. She does a great job. Thank you Mrs Lindsey.

Astounding reporting by Lindsey Hilsum who, at the age of 64, is not a content grandmother but a journalistic ace bringing the true realities of a war to the public. 100% total respect to her and to Channel 4 News for not engaging in ageism.

God bless Soldiers like this brave man. He's not just fighting for country, he's fighting for the future of his legacy. Slava Ukrani 🇺🇦

Slava Ukraine. Stay strong soldiers.

At her age, she is an active and courageous woman.

That lady is braver than most men I know, hope she stays safe

This woman was running across no man's land she is as brave as the soldiers

Hope him and others make it out so they can, as he said, make a family and live in freedom. Prayers for everyone fighting there.

"Not 1916, but now the 21st Century..." That's hallowing. 😰

Huge respect to the female reporter. I been in many fire fights in Afghanistan and its not a good place to be. May you stay safe. Prayers from the USA.

Bro huge thanks to the reporter that are risking their lives for us to receive news on the conflict. Thanks

No words adequately describe how brave this wonderful older woman is to bring us these stories. I mean, wow.

You are one brave women to bring us harrowing stories like this. Thank you for providing an important public service to millions of viewers that depend on your coverage to learn of this unprovoked Russian aggression.

That little kitten warmed my heart. She is giving the soldiers love and companionship during such dark times.

-"What is your super power?" -"I'm Ukrainian." BOSS!

There could not be a starker contrast in the morale and spirits of UA and RU fighters. And that can be the difference.

I love how proud he is of his “big machine gun” hahaha “they shut up more quickly after that one” stands there leaning on the bunker wall with a confident little grin.

You can tell how kind and optimistic Ukrainian soldiers are. God bless them and keep them all! And huge respect to the reporter!

So on top of the kitty, I noticed a couple of things. The commander had a purple crocheted rabbit on his pack. The other soldier Varim, had a silver trinket pinned on to his vest front, along with a crocheted stuffed heart dangling off the vest front too. They have a playful sense of humor. Somehow, I just can't picture the Russians personalizing their rig in a similar way. Maybe knowing they are on their homeland, fighting for their family's life, allows the Ukrainian soldiers to be free to connect to their humanity, as an easygoing rightness. Meanwhile, the Russians are grim as they are just trying to stay alive and positive about a depressing punishment they don't understand.Or maybe I'm rreading too much into it.

can't imagine what these people are going through. much respect for all people involved, lives are being lost out there for what motive?

"What's your superpower?" she asks. He says "I'm Ukrainian." I love these people fighting for their country. The whole country deserves a metal.

Your Reporter and crew are pure Gold! Bless her and all those brave Ukrainian people!! I hope everyone in the west supplies them with everything they need to finish this quickly 🙏❤🇺🇦

This Lady is very brave to be out there.

What a great report of what the Ukrainians are dealing with. Thank you and God bless you all there.

Damn, Lindsey is legit. That was brave.

Thanks for bringing this to your viewers, Lindsey. It will boost the morale of the Troops if they know others are interested in their well-being. Life is really tough for them right now. Wish they didn't have to be in that situation. Please stay safe.

Awesome reporting. Thanks for your work!!!

Love the positive attitude, always have one and things go out great.

That's pretty brave for an old lady to run through open fields while gunshot heard nearby...

These soldiers are amazing. They are in a very dangerous situation on the front lines and still have a smile on their face. How do they do that daily? And the reporter and her team are gutsy also!

Thank you for going through all that risk to feed us up, whith what the people are going through in Ukrainian. It’s an unfair war. 🥺

very good reporting, thank you

Incredible reporting. So important to see what is happening to these soldiers.

You are such a brilliant journalist! These brave heroes, God Bless you ALL! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦!

"What is your super Power ?"...." I am Ukrainian! "...Slava Ukraini..Glory to Ukraine!

I told people around me it would probably come to trench warfare and no one believed me. Unfortunate we don’t learn from our mistakes in the past 😔

This is Real combat journalism! I’m amazed at your courageous reporting. Much respect. I enjoyed seeing the resilience from the bravest Ukrainian soldiers. That was a Lot of muddy and wet conditions-seeing helps understand what the army is dealing with. Thank you. Houston Texas USA

Beautiful superpowered Ukrainians ! Glory to Ukraine

God bless Ukraine!

Wow Lindsay Hilsum, a truly brave journalist. Thank you for having the courage to show us these men. Thank you for your humanity. Thanks to God for your talent.

Great reporting!

The bravery of front line reporters is unreal.

3:40 U takvim prilikama što manje pokreta . Mirovati i ne skretati pažnju neprijatelja, može te locirati i oprašiti . Svaka čast gospođi za hrabrost . 👍

I salute you reporter lady!!!

Watching this breaks me. God help those young men (on both sides).

I'm obsessed with the war in Ukraine. I watch videos on it all the time. This video touched me in a way I hadn't been before. Keep up the good work and Slava Ukraine from the United States!

that superpower line was pure amazing

4:14 - Notice the *toy-bunny* tied to his backpack. A "good luck totem" from his child perhaps? I hope they stay well. All of them. - *Slava Ukraini! - Heroyam Slava! - Stay safe!*

My utmost respect for the warriors defending their country. I am furious, that we can only do so little to help these brave warriors defending their country. We sent what we could, but it is not enough.. We will start to repair their equipment soon, in Slovakia. This barbaric horde from the East must be stopped. Excellent reporting, thank you.

You're a good man Vladym. "My children [sic] live in the FREEDOM COUNTRY"!!!!!!!!! May God bless you with devine safety when you truly need it... and with unwavering courage with your brothers to continue your fight for you and your country.

I fought in two combat tours in Iraq and this grandma is more relaxed under fire than many young soldiers I've seen. Cool as a cucumba ma'am, I love your work!

oh my God, the Journalist is very brave - thank you to show us how Ukrainians are doing the job

We're watching brave people, soldiers and journalist. We are with Ukraine, we think of these soldiers who are fighting not only for their freedom but for ours as well. Ukraine will prevail. Slava Ukraini!

Greetings from America. Much respect to this older lady from channel 4 news. She's out in the trenches on the front line under sniper fire. Wow that lady has heart. God bless her and protect everyone on the good side in Ukraine. Keep up the great work killing those cowardly orc's. Glory to the hero's. Glory to Ukraine 😀.

Great and brave woman. 🙏 Thank you for this report

Brillant , thanks👍

Ukrainian Soldiers are unbelievable people. Always smiling about something regardless the situation. Just AMAZING! Glory To Heroes” Glory To Ukraine! ✊🏼🇺🇦🪖🇺🇦🪖🇺🇦🪖🇺🇦🪖

You journalists are so brave, you are like soldiers!

Let s pray for Ukraine to survive for winter season

SLAVA UKRAINI HEROES DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM 🇺🇦💪🏻

Stay strong Ukraine we believe in you Godspeed and strength love and prayers from the United States

People can argue about who is doing what behind the scenes, and for what reasons, but for the Ukrainian citizens, they just want their land back and to be left alone by Russia, and that's it.

What a brave lady to be there reporting at her age bless her.

Praying for protection n for Ukraine to win...🙏🙏🙏

Much love from Edmonton Alberta. My heart goes out to those brave soldiers. Slava Ukraine

Thank you for your fantastic reporting. The world must see what is really going on and how hard Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom, it is truly heroic. May god protect all those brave men and women protecting their conurty and for them to be reunited with their families once again. Ukraine will be victorious, that is certain. Слава Україні, Героям слава. Смерть ворогам.

a pretty old lady down in the cold, muddy trenches with hardened soldiers telling her to stay put till the bullets stop whistling over their heads incredible

i love that guys kit tactical af
