  1. I'm very gratified that the citizens of occupied Ukraine seem to know that it was not only their own brave soldiers, but also those outside their country who helped this to come about. Congratulations on this victory and godspeed.

  2. Putin IS Evil. Slava Ukraine. Slava USA, UK, Europe, Australia etal

  3. Dear ukraine army, Meet your friends, have a beer, have some good food, have a bbq party, Enjoy your stay.
    But don't forget to run back when Russians come back 😀

  4. Richard, I hope you get the biggest award given for your excellence in reporting, you captured this moment of freedom and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you to you and your cameramen for capturing this time in history.

  5. from morocco, many thanks to the usa for their great help to the ukrainian people

  6. When will the Russian people rise up against their fascist goon and dictator, Putin? Until that happens, Russia will continue to be the enemy of the Western world. Period.

  7. And asshat Republicans want to stop helping these people. See..they hate some white people just as much as they hate POC.

  8. who wins the stone age wasteland? cheerleaders for death.

  9. The Ukrainian Nazis shelled the Donbass for 8 years and you kuntz said nothing so fook off

  10. I salute all Of You reporters who are so braved and risked your life just to show the world what was really happening, and what putin did to Ukraine. You are heroes as well, no doubt about that.

  11. 19:26 to 20:40 Colonel Macgregor: General "Armageddon" made it clear that when he launches the new offensive, "he intends to put an end to the conflict". . .

    , and some "sober-minded people at the Defense-Department are saying we need to think long and hard about this".

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry7j-DaabpQ

    Those sober-minds are usually the military-officials, trying to talk some sense into deranged-politicians, and their water-boys from Wall-Street, telegraphing their warped-desire to escalate and expand the conflict to a whole new level, by fulfilling the Polish and Romanian PM's, along with Ukraine's Zelinsky's wet-dreams to trigger combat-engagement with 40,000 US/NATO troops dispatched to the Polish Border with Ukraine.

    We need to heed Former Joint-Chief-of-Staff General Mullen and current Joint-Chief-of-Staff General Milley's advise to pursue diplomacy and negotiations, before Armageddon breaks out.

    But the illusion of battle "successes" (due to a methodical early-retreat operation conducted in Kherson by the Russians), is giving the rabidly war-enthusiasts in Zelinsky's Azov-Battalion, and the freckled-faced "National-Security-Advisor", as well as the Top-Robo-'Diplomat' from the State-Department, a false sense of confidence and certainty of "victory". . .

    Enough so as to pledge more war-fundings, to further sacrifice the lives of Ukrainian Civilians, not just from constant drone-attacks, but the freezing of a winter of energy-crisis, as well as the Aleppo-styled devastation from a new all-out-unrestrained-OFFENSIVE to come from Putin's General "Armageddon".

    General 'Armageddon' is willing to commit any war-crime, any amount of slaughter (just like in Syria and Chechnya) to achieve his military-aims. He has declared that he "will not allow Ukraine to fester like Syria with all kinds of foreign-combatants, . . " mercenaries, Nazis, fascists and Mujahedeen-types.

    Question is: Will his war-drive and determination be enough to convince an equally deranged / deluded (and somewhat demented) current-occupant in the Oval-Office who has chosen to follow the advise of proto-fascist Neo-Cons and Neo-Libs of beltway-careerists at the Potomac, rabidly 'Hegemon' and 'NATO-Expansionist' Deniers . . .

    Instead of the sobriety and prudence offered by Top Career-Military-Officers . . .

    In the same way General Eisenhower warned us about the dangers of a "run-away and out-of-control Military-industrial-complex, robbing not only our national-treasury, but also the future of our next-generation".

  12. Still hard to see real world Is real on all directions

  13. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦 FOREVER!!!!!

  14. IF UKRAINE CAN DO THIS WITH 2% OF THE US MILITARY BUDGET, THEN IMAGINE HOW QUICKLY THE WAR WILL END IF WE GAVE THEM 5%

  15. To those of us who live in the sheltered safe world of instant gratification, THIS is what the faces of freedom truly looks like.

  16. Stand by for Russian encirclement and massive shelling as Putin turns Kherson into another Mariupol.

  17. There are many pro Russian people blind in this spectacular and happiest moment of Ukrainian people being leberated from Russia , i hope this will become a message to putin and in his government that Russian soldiers or government of putin are not truly welcome in Ukrainian soil , paranoid putin must put in trial for his war crimes together with his supporters in the government.

  18. Putin and trump both are weak men that are destructive.

  19. Praise the lord! Thank God for helping the Ukrainian people.

  20. Brought tears in my eyes…Praying for Ukraine. May God help you

  21. Man, I don’t think these reporters have ever experienced anything like this. A different reporter actually remarked on it- I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard accounts of liberated treating even the reporters like heroes, not like this. Though this reporting does help them & they do risk their lives.

  22. AQUELARRES DE SATANES GENOCIDAS ESPAÑOLES EN MADRID Y SANTANDER CON MILLONES DE ASESINADOS EN SU HABER DE GENOCIDAS.

  23. СССР возрождается! СССР ВПЕРЁД! USSR FORWARD!

  24. NBC News вы продажные, зависимые, лицемерные журналисты.

  25. Matthew 24:6-8 KJV
    6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

    7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

    8 All these are the BEGINNING of sorrows.

    Luke 21:28 KJV
    And when these things BEGIN to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. 🙏😊🙏😊

  26. You made me cry Richard with your " no words"..💙💛💙💛💙💛

  27. Lovely story ..and heartbreaking but.. hopeful tonight from
    Kherson, Ukraine. 🌠🇺🇦…Way to go. Celebrate! Yup. ….Viva Ukraine 💛…🇺🇦…..🌻!

  28. Every Russian who see this video should be ashamed what they did to Ukrainean people and should go on street and apologized what they did to this innocent people ….. may god help Ukraine to liberate their territory and wish they can go inside the Russian territory and give them some pain back

  29. Now it’s time we end Russia

  30. So when do we start the invasion of Russia?
