  1. Let’s fighting back inside Russia.

  2. Thanks a lot for covering this topic, we appreciate your support!
    It's been a hard year to pass and war is not over yet.

  3. I pray for the Ukranian people.

    However, I request NBC to create a documentary on Pakistan's genocide of Bangladeshi people in the war of 1971.
    That genocide was fully supported by the US.

    In that war the brutality and death had been at least 10 times than this war.

    Therefore, I request you to make such a documentary.

  4. Thinking about Taiwan if China attacks even more dangerous then Ukraine.

  5. Ukrainians are strong brave and unified pray for both sides.

  6. @NBC News: It would have been nice to have subtitles throughout the entire documentary, such as starting @33:28 when that man & woman were talking.

    Kinda dropped the ball on that one!

  7. If you want to help..?

  8. Well done. Thank you for the hard work in showing us this bit of history.

  9. Slava Ukraini
    Heroyam Slava
    This American stands with Ukraine. I don't care which side of the political isle any of us are on. Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom and Americans should at least respect that.
    🇺🇸♥️🇺🇦

  10. God I hate Russians who support this war and Putin

  11. This looks like the other fights I’ve seen the last 20/30 years, it’s got the guns and stuff

    I had nothing to do with those outside of watching videos and making comments, so I keep the same energy with this fight

  12. Why won’t they surrender for peace?

  13. Fake news propaganda. You forgot to mention how Joe Biden is responsible for most of this war and how he and the president of Ukraine are making millions of dollars from this war.

  14. It's DEATH !
    And Biden and Zelensky,,, Stole $200 Billion !
    The Rest,,, is the LIE,,, to Cover it Up.

  15. Russki Mir… stinking since been centurys.

  16. There is no way the UK will win the war, economic is destroying. But USA continues supply weapon all over the word and bring more death and global crysis. Since the changing of political regime in other countries such as UK. And doing the same in china region Taiwan. US creates new war becaus of democracy but in the same time USA regime is not a democracy. All the wars because of religion, now religion is pseudo democracy.

  17. Kyiv was a thriving metropolis when Moscow was still a swamp. When the Mongols invaded, the Kyivan people fought back so the Mongols burned down their beloved city and survivors scattered across the steppes of modern Ukraine. In contrast, when the Mongols invaded Moscow, the Muscovites kneeled so their city was spared. Muscovites/Russians have kneeled to various czars an and dictators ever since while the Ukrainians were never enslaved. That is the difference between a Ukrainian versus a Russian. Courage, indomitable strength and resilience are in the DNA of every Ukrainian and this is why Ukraine will always be free! Slava Ukraini

  18. Richard, we're grateful for your outstanding reporting! Thank you for your bravery and professionalism! ❤🙏

  19. What beautiful, inspiring heroes! Your example strengthens the world! Our hearts and minds join you! 💞🙏💞

  20. OH MY GOD., VLADIMIR PUTIN IS ANOTHER HITLER, COMMITTING ANOTHER HOLOCAUST AND GENOCIDE, someone PLEASE STOP HIM.

  21. Слава Україні. Героям слава. Слава нації. СМЕРТЬ ВОРОГАМ.

  22. someone needs to liberate russia from putin

  23. Ukrainians, do not negotiate any peace deal with the devil Putin! Fight on until you scrub and cleanse your lands of his evil grip. Slava Ukraini!

  24. Russians you must work against Vladimir Putin anyway you can.

  25. Our law in America will take down trump and his family and followers we won’t let him go forward .we will back Ukrainian people people.

  26. Trump loves Vladimir Putin and the Republican senators and house members continue to back trump

  27. The criminal kremlin regime must be ended once and for all

  28. Liberation it is,when someone sells their soul to the devil,blood have to be spilt to liberate their soul fr the devil it's a holy purpose and Russia is God's army, Russia victory is for god, Slava Russia 🇷🇺💪.

  29. Ukraine will out Putin once and for all and Russia will have to pay for all the damage they caused

  30. Russians must suffer for allowing Putin to rule, if it takes 100 years, Russia must pay a price.

  31. Keep fighting strong 💪🏽 Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦 Glory to the Heroes! 🇺🇦

  32. Neo nazi means new nazis, the target of their hate can change and that target seems to be primarily people of color but one thing for sure neo Nazis do exist in Ukraine and actually form and entire military arm…there are also parts of Ukraine that consider themselves Russian but I agree none of this is why Putin invaded because Russia is not much better … this is all about keeping NATO out of their backyard …but I wish this war had been averted because it’s the innocent, the young and the elderly that suffer the most and it’s heartbreaking… but even in trying to help, report the facts or you lose credibility 😑

  33. …..trump and Putin have the same mission bring back the glory days of their once great nations and I approve and stand behind that! If those people understood that they were all one greater ussr this wouldn’t be happening they don’t know that they are just being used as pawns and they are doing this to themselves by supporting their president in this war.

  34. Joe Biden the Antichrist, destroying USA and Ukraine. We can't take 2 more years of him.
