  1. Amazing incredible story, Thanh you

  2. This is the face of Putin, a man who lives in absolute luxury and sends his army into neighboring countries for a land grab. Putin must be removed and destroyed he is a criminal, no escape for this war criminal.

  3. The easiest way to sell weapons is to make an area unsafe.

    The example of Israel, nurtured by America to become a thorn in the Middle East. Among the rich countries, Israel is made as material for Security Propaganda. As a result, all the countries there are competing to buy weapons from America.

    Now, Ukrain.. Dumb Zelen

  4. Extraordinary Ukraine civilians & thanks to Richard Engel’s knowhow journalism👍🌹.
    Glory to Ukraine🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🏆🌹🧸❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.

  5. tears roll down unconsciously from my eyes on Kherson's liberation.. people embracing soldiers, putting up their flags back, Ukrainians are the bravest strongest people in the world, some can have the best weapons, but these people's dedication to stay and protect their land is something no weapon can ever match. SLAVAAAAA UKRAINI, the whole world is rooting for your victory!

  6. Sasha…you are forgiven…for your experience is of survival and not betrayal. I am praying for your recovery, financial stability, and for your country. Slava Ukraine!

  7. Wonderful and attractive stories. But is it worth it showing the faces and identities? These guys can go to the frontline at any moment. Wonder what the russians would do to them if captured. Hopefully Kherson stays in Ukrainian hands till the very end, but in wars there are twists and difficulties. IMO this level of precision is not necessary until the war is over.

  8. Joe bidens administration and all government agencies our run by morons from joe on down how much is this Biden production company costing the tax payer do funny 81 million people voted for joe but he can't get 81 people to attend an event it's all staged here and abroad what a mess these grifters have our country in harm's way we the people deserve better

  9. Peace to Ukraine! The resistance fighters are heroes!

  10. The big reason Russia and Putin are losing their illegal war is that the free people of Ukraine are defending their home. If someone rolled up into your neighborhood and tried to force your family to live under their rule, you would fight to the bitter end too. Much respect to the free people of Ukraine, we in the USA have your back!

  11. Sweden will send up to ten Leopard tanks to Ukraine.

    This is presented by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Defense Minister Pål Jonson during a press conference in Boden on Friday.

  12. Slava Ukraina🇸🇪🇸🇪🇺🇦🇺🇦

  13. Each time I watch the Horror that UKRAINE became I weep and Pray God to Protect and Preserve these People and give them Speedy VICTORY.

  14. Excellent production of an event that needs telling to show the unbelievers that this is real for far too many people who are being brutalized. And for all those Do-Nothing Congressional freeks who are against the Ukrainans, this makes you look like the cowards you are.

  15. I can’t imagine what they through. I’m proud of them

  16. Let hope and pray Ukraine victory soon. Le hope and pray the is end this year for the innocent Ukrainian people.

  17. why don't you go to Donbas??? and ask them if they were waiting for Russians to save them from these Banderavtsev??? why are you only spinning one narrative and ignore what they were doing to Donbas people for the past 8 years???

  18. I would murder with no worries in that situation💙💛

  19. I was always ok with mossad hunting down nazis after WW2, even if it wasn't exactly um.. lawful act. Just saying. just saying.

  20. Absolute heroes! Amazing stories of unseen resistance fighters of Ukraine. Two guys, a girl and a war.

  21. Thank you, Richard. An incredible story, which is so much needed in and outside Ukraine right now. Looking forward to another documentary about the liberation of Ukraine. This will be epic!

  22. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤🙏🙏

  23. Ukraine at the start of the War, literally made Black People and their babies last to be evacuated from an Invading Enemy Army. No Black Man should Risk their Lives for a Country that would use Black Babys to Slow an Advancing Enemy Army!

  24. Top Notch .. Brave people’s one and all ✌️🇺🇦

  25. I see a damaged building but we're is the evidence that any equipment was destroyed? Usa news loves to put the spin on it.. spin doctors

  26. Nobody besides the obiden crime family and all the lil fake news trolls and bots on this forum cares about Ukraine and Zelenskyy's proxy war….n

  27. Praying for Ukraine,, stay strong and Putin will be diminished 💪💪Putin’s disgusting ☹️🇺🇦😡

  28. Get them before they get you

  29. Thank you to the wonderful people of Ukraine and thank you for doing this story

  30. This war need to stop all these people dieing ain't right

  31. Them poor people should have to live like that so sad

  32. Cultural notes:
    The chant is: Slava Ukraini ! ( Glory to Ukraine)
    and you are supposed to chant back: Heroyam Slava ! ( Glory to the heroes)
    And then they chanted: ZEH- SEH-UH ( ZSU) the initials of Zbroyny Syly Ukraini ( Ukraine Armed Forces). So, basically, they were chanting U-A-F! U-A-F!

  33. Award winning work. Thank you for these untold stories of such unknown heroes. #GloryToUkraine

  34. The joy and jubilation one felt after stabbed or shot a Russian soldier in occupied Kherson is an amazing feeling, it just feels like you can born free and live happy again.

  35. This is propaganda. These people wouldn't live long if they were exposed as operating behind the lines .showing faces n the bar.. I call BS

  36. Zombie apocalypse would of been easier ha ha ha funny guy … At least Zombies have more brains then orcs .

  37. Some storytelling, and these 3 are heroes even if they didn't set out to be!! I just hope their scars will heal!! And I hope that the younger guy will get his life back too! Like they said nobody knows what they'd do until your private parts are hooked up to a live wire! So yeah, I hope his scars heal with time as well! Wishing them all the best of luck!! Hoping they make it thru this mess and have happy lives! Wishing and praying for all of Ukraine! Slava Ukraini!! Glory to all the heroes, big and small!!!

  38. Wow, this is simply extraordinary!
    What a truly exceptional piece of work on this documentary!

    I hope you guys continue to produce more full-length documentaries related to Ukraine!
    Im sure there's thousands of stories just like this one all around Ukraine

  39. If you ask yourself why Denmark opened a pipeline of weapons to the Ukraine…here is the answer. These Ukrainian partisans remind of so much of the stories of our own underground fight against the Germans…

  40. It reminded me of French resistance during WWII, I am sure many country will have brave people like that when their home is occupied.
