Final thought is that Freedom is priceless

"We took responsibility for our country" is what it boils down to. I remember telling my wife at the time (she is from Kherson) that Russia offered a "better deal". The key is that Ukraine voted for less corruption and more equality when they had the "Euromaidan revolution". It has made slow but steady progress since then, and the war has accelerated that progress. The corruption has grown noticeably less, and no longer blatant and open. Even members of my wife's family who were against this at the time are very much for it now (to the point of returning from their job out of the country and taking up arms). It really takes a generation to change the values and expectations of society, so it is still a work in progress. Thinking back on it, seeing the change was not obvious, but after almost a decade, the tiny year to year change becomes obvious. When Ukraine wins this war, I now have faith that things will continue to improve for the average Ukrainian, because this is what they want.

Victoria is an inspiring young woman. Russia will fail with Ukrainians like her. May peace come quickly to this most inspiring of countries.

Best ukraina reporting on youtube.

In war the first casualty is truth.

Thanks again for a clear understanding of the situation in Ukraine. The West must stand firmly against the real crimes of Russia. Please tell the truth so we can learn from our mistakes. Glory to Ukraine.

Best episode ever. We never ghosted Ukraine. They are family here. And I think we should invite them to our homes for the ...holidays.. or till they can return home. Please Canada, lets invite Ukrainians to come to our homes for a while. Chrystia, please help.

Seattle with tears in my eyes. Great broadcast.

Thanks friends for support Ukraine!🇺🇦✌️

Following your reports daily from here in Fort Myers, FL

From El Paso, Texas, I enjoy the show keep up with the good work.

Thank u guys and that women Vic girl stay strong keep doing what u believe stay safe

Superb, keep going!

Yes, yes, finally ukrainians start to uinderstand. Yes, when they suffer, they should REMEMBER EUROMAIDAN.

Good reporting as always.

Under UN rules of engagement any person holding a weapon is a combatent. The man who opened fire was at fault for the massacre. The Ukraine forces may have lost a man ? Force protection is the standing order & their duty. 🇬🇧

Rest in truth, Vika. Eternal memory

Bravo guys! Glory to Ukraine.

It's time to negotiate for the sake of the people. Don't let the people freeze

I believe that the Ukrainian people have been through so much in the past few years and we as a nation of civilized people made a deal with them in which we promised to defend them if they were to give up the nuclear weapons that they had when they decided to break away from the Soviet Union and we failed them when they were invaded in 2014 and we are not fulfilling what we promised still. So I think that if we are going to fulfill our promise to Ukraine we should at least give them everything that they need to drive Russia out of Ukraine that means everything not what we want to give them. If they had never given up the nuclear weapons in the beginning of their independence we would not be going through this now. Because Russia would have never invaded Ukraine if they had the weapons that we talked them into giving up. So stop cherry picking the weapons that we are sending and just give them everything that they want and need to get the Russian military out of Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine

I spent some time with my closest friend in in Jerusalem in the 80ies, it was pretty calm and pleasant at the time. There were some sc UN peace keepers, do such still exist? Russia , Putin is committing war crimes constantly and nothing stops him,

It's been a long time since Europe fought for our freedom. It wasn't just undervalued, we took it such common sense, that EVERYONE loses by war, only a madman would start one. And then one did, thinking we had grown too soft. I believe more and more Russians will understand this, as many did, now silenced, lost. All countries have flaws, sometimes it takes a long, painful, time to improve... Definitely, the finest example of a brave, determined, courageous model to us all. !🇺🇦 !🇺🇦 !🇺🇦

Ok so if I want to buy "Fall Syndrome" where can I do that? Because it's not on Amazon, I can't seem to find it on google...

I think Dom was dead right when he said that if on the one hand, the rest of a Russian unit appeared to surrender, but one of them ran out of the building shooting, then it makes total sense that the Ukrainians would revert to instinct and open fire themselves.

The Ukrainian soldiers did what they needed to do, great job.

J’adore la culture ukrainienne

🇵🇱🇺🇦❤️❤️

I have tried to enjoy some sort of Xmas in the UK but its very difficult to do so when the world is in chaos.. Nothing much to be cheerful about...

This war is the worst of 1990s Yugoslavia on a huge scale.

He lives by the sword dies by the sword

See Col Douglas MacGregor.

The 4 nuclear powered and armed submarines of the Russian Federation have moved their naval base to Novo Rossiyisk to the East. 21:02 precisely! The line at Mariupol would be an ideal anchor ⚓ to the new Ukraine lines. Building the previous lines from Donetsk to the border and Luhansk city to the border. Starobilsk is the target in Luhansk. With Crimea being more long term and a different territorial issue.? Manpower remains a concern. Is the ZSU army still at 185,000 strength? Russia has deployed 39,000 men since September. Of a target of 220,000 men. 750 British Brimstone - 2 ATG GTG missiles with 40 miles range are in battle. 🇬🇧

This site is almost incomprehensible due to the relentless advert for funeral plans in Spain and some Australian interview. I give up.

It is a very good point. Ukraine and other nations of ee deserve attention not just in a war but also in cultural, scientific and entertainment wise. Very often I heard so much ignorance from British people that everything is Russia what is beyond Polish borders. It show open and blant disinterest, ignorance and neglectance to ee nations.

Nous devons arrêter UKpostsr Eva Bartlett qui blame Ukraine pour les bombardements à Donbas

🇺🇦

What does Don mean by " we need that...." who is the " we"

In a way Ukraine was always two countries. It was Ukrainians in the west and Ethnic Russians in the east who have been moved there by the leadership of the Soviet Union who were attempting to Russify the Donbas

someone on a discord or somewhere forgot where. Says the last prisoner to come out tried to reach for a gun or did so they fired back and chaos ensued

I always turn to the Telegraph when I want the best propaganda coming out of Ukraine.

Please do a piece on how language and ethnicity are intertwined -- or not -- in Ukraine. I find it confusing.

Is it really so difficult to pronounce Novorossiysk (a bit like new Russia)? He said "Novosiysk" several times.

"No gory images"?? Is that supposed to be a feature? The fact is it's NOT a feature. It's a major deficiency. For people to understand the horrors of war from the outside, sanitized pictures will just not cut it. There's no substitute for gore.

"Russian Federation Armed Forces continue the special military operation. In Donetsk direction, units of Russian army continued their intense operation. More than 60 Ukrainian servicemen and five armoured fighting vehicles have been eliminated. In South Donetsk direction, artillery fire and decisive actions by Russian troops have repulsed an attack by the AFU with up to a company's tactical group forces towards Pavlovka. In addition, as a result of a pre-emptive fire attack, enemy reserves advancing from Ugledar have been destroyed. A sabotage and reconnaissance group of the AFU has been destroyed near Novodarovka (Zaporozhye region). The enemy's losses amounted to more than 40 Ukrainian servicemen killed and wounded, three armoured vehicles, a MT-LB and four pick-up trucks. In Kupyansk direction, an attempt to launch an attack by an AFU mechanised infantry company near Novosyolovskoye (Lugansk People's Republic) has been thwarted by artillery fire and heavy flamethrower systems. As a result of Russian artillery fire more than 30 Ukrainian servicemen, two motor vehicles and one mortar have been destroyed. In Krasniy Liman direction, an attempt to move the AFU company tactical group to attack the Chervonopopvka (Lugansk People's Republic) has been disrupted by pre-emptive fire. Up to 20 Ukrainian servicemen, three mortar crews and two motor vehicles have been eliminated. Operational-Tactical and Army Aviation, Missile Troops and Artillery have neutralised the AFU 128th Mountain Assault Brigade's command post deployed near Volnyansk (Zaporozhye region), as well as 72 artillery units at their firing positions, manpower and hardware in 144 areas. 1 U.S.-manufactured AN/TPQ-37 counterbattery warfare radar has been destroyed near Nikolayevka (Donetsk People's Republic). Two AFU artillery-missile armament and munitions depots have been destroyed near Volnyansk (Zaporozhye region), and Chervonopopovka (Lugansk People's Republic). Air defence forces shot down five unmanned aerial vehicles in the area of the gas condensate fields in the Black Sea and near Sevastopol. In total, 333 airplanes and 177 helicopters, 2,554 unmanned aerial vehicles, 390 air defence missile systems, 6,782 tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles, 901 fighting vehicles equipped with MLRS, 3,615 field artillery cannons and mortars, as well as 7,329 units of special military hardware have been destroyed during the special military operation."

"Ukraine freezes after Russian strikes" - Great news!

Soooo many ads. 🤦‍♂️

I don't think that soldiers laying on the ground are a threat,because easely to control if there are more than one soldiers on the other side involved. Shooting at them, even if there's a "uncontrolled situation", while someone shoots at them from somewhere else, is a) done because of anxiety through the not "finished captivity measures" (not searched for hidden weapons and tied up) of those soldiers who "allegdly" surrendered, or b) through taking advantage of all of them, because of revenge, what could be a warcrime. The videos footage is rather bad and shows the effects only. So, there's much playground to speculate and only a investigation can verify what really was happening there. Where I condemn ALL warcrimes I really can't say, well that's a warcrime or it isn't!

There's no video, guys...just a flag. Is it a UKposts thing or something?

any body needs to go is the Russian

As for the surrendering and shooting. It smells like perfidy. One thing to think about is that russian soldiers are told apparently that it' best to shoot yourself or self grenade than to surrender. I wouldn't be surprised if the last russian decided that they're best to all just die than to be taken POWs. Something to think about

Your commercial breaks are out of control

I have been following this war fairly diligently since 24/02/2022. What has happened here with people across Ukraine living without power is utterly heartbreaking. It begs the question. Rather than attempt to demoralise the Ukrainian populace to force a capitulation. Does all Putin want here is his pound of flesh? If he can’t take Ukraine he might seem to just want to destroy whatever is there for the sake of it. Cause as much pain and turmoil as he can out of vicious spite. For the Ukrainian people and for the West supporting their fight. I just hope that in the end of this the Russian government loses. I hate to say it, but I’m looking quite favourably at NATO getting in there and bringing his army to ruin.

Very one sided podcast; it only tells one side of the story.

Victory to Russia

Victory to russia🇷🇺❤

There is no ukrainian literature, only Russian as ukraine is not a real country but just one of Russian territories.

JAJA. USA TALKS ABOUT RUSSIAN WAR CRIMES. IT IS SO FUNNY
