salute to the people who seem not afraid and look calm like there is no war. they seemed to be walking quietly.
@O4aRIPJ4 4 it doesn’t reach our front door if we keep our noses out of it.
People are scared because they are listening to people who have a vested interest in us being scared, turn the telly off for a while.
Politicians around the globe talk, peasants around the globe loss their lives and yet have to pay more from their tax contributions for a higher costs of living, nothing benefits a fool peasants from war in any part of the world. peasants around the globe have to become unity and stop being foolish and stop taking sides. Geese’s War is a game for a rich elites, politicians and businesses family to deal and bargain their businesses by using a fool peasant lives as one of their chess game.
Ukraine and nato were killing Russians well before outin declared war…this is all fake, Russia is justified!
well screaming and panicking never helped to anyone
@Watch With Me there was that car being run over by a tank
I fiercely want this young soldier to survive! Why.. because the world needs such young men in future who will remind everyone around them to respect and value their freedoms, never take their parents and families for granted. Never under estimate the luxury of being born in a country free of geopolitical turmoils and wars. I teared up listening to him, sending my prayers for his brave mom and dad. Praying for every ukrainian to come out safe and strong! 🙏
@Bjorn Sjöström Почему все молчат?!Восемь лет там гибнут люди мирные от рук радикальных националистов таких как Азов.Приедьте туда,поговорите с жителями.Знаете сколько детей там погибло?Кто нибудь из вас об этом хоть слово проранил?Нет.Мы смотрели на это восемь лет.Пытались договориться. Переговоров больше не будет.Мы идём что бы судить преступную власть Украины.Украину Россия захватывать не будет.Нужен только суд.
@Bjorn Sjöström Вы знаете русский язык?Переведите им на английский всё что я вам напишу.Переведите что их политики это преступники розжигающие мировую войну.На Донбассе убивают людей но никто этого не видит.Они закрывают на это глаза.Где ваши суды по правам человека?!
Quit posturing….your just a hypocrite goof
@The Wide Open Life drafted*
And we did! For 20 years I took for granted living in a safe country, now I might get draughted to help protect them
I broke down in tears watching the interview with 21 year old Sergiy Petroshenko. Bewildered, frightened, worried about his parents, and guarding a bridge on his own having fired only 16 bullets in his life on a shooting range. I pray that he survives and that peace returns to all the people of Ukraine.
fascism will be eliminated in Ukraine..AZOV ..Bandera..and I think Ukrainians will be happy
@The Hills104 yeah it is true
Never mind it was a different guy.
I just seen a video that this guy blew himself up while Trying to blow the bridge so the Russians couldn’t enter.
This is a sad moment for Europe and the
Ukraine, my heart goes out for the Ukrainian people and hope they can pevail against the evil that has been put on them.
How about evil that they has been putting on Donetsk for 8 years doing the same?
@Рест Фест But in their eyes, the bad boy is Russia because it’s the invader.
but what about the killings in the Donbas? This is the criminal Ukrainian government.
@F A Sorry to say within thouse countries the evil is within and life is cheep to them.
Same goes for Syria and Iraq, let’s not be hypocrites
I have sons and seeing the young man guarding that bridge alone was just heartbreaking 💔
I pray God be with him and the Ukrainian people. 🙏
My heart goes out to this man on the bridge. He is too young to be there all alone left with his own thoughts trying to not focus on his inevitable ultimate sacrifice.
@Evryatis link?
@Evryatis the story wasn’t false. There was more than 13 people on the island. Most of them surrendered and then there was the 13 that didn’t
@Skyhawk _452 annnd now we know that story about the 13 soldiere was false and they actually surrendered
@Haylock Transport he’s likely there just for observation and relay purposes.
Yes, but why are they giving Russia this inside Intel?
My heart broke for Sergey Petroshenko. As I watch these people carry themselves with ultimate courage under some of the most dangerous circumstances, I can’t help but to be reminded of the demands for safe space by some students in American Universities. God bless the courageous people of Ukraine.
@Pavel Scott Russiam BOT
My soul shivers hearing that he is only 21. I myself am 17 and can’t even imagine being in such a situation.
Ur not even an adult bro 😂😂😂
The boy on the bridge , I feel so scared for him, I hope he is protected and returned to his family . He is a boy ! He didn’t do anything but protect his village! God help the Ukraine people!
I’m an Ukrainian 🇺🇦 soldier ‘ I’m proud to fight for my country and ready to die as a hero 🫂🥷
