  33. Your reports never fail to completely capture my attention, as few other things do (I wish I could concentrate this hard on Ukrainian grammar, I'd be a fluent speaker by now). But as I listen, watch, and understand things I'd never really understood before, the names of all these little places, the roads connecting one to the other, the different landscapes, all keep snagging at my heart. I grew up in small towns where you may travel to the next town or village because they have a shop you don't have nearby, or your relatives live there, or you get a seasonal job, I commuted to school on the slow bus that stops at every little place to pick everybody up, hiked to the top of one of those hills for a summer picnic with my cousins. Many of my relatives still live in areas so similar to the ones described in these reports. I'm sure this isn't the sort of comment expected under a video like this one, and I keep trying to push these thoughts to the back of my mind and concentrate on the frontline update, which is after all what I'm here for (because, as everybody keeps saying, it's THE BEST). But I've decided to keep both sides of it on my mind from now on. Not least because I also grew up with WW2 stories from my grandparents and aunts: all the places that were full of life when I was a kid (and mostly still are - there's been a few earthquakes since) were absolute hellholes in the early to mid 1940s, with battles, summary executions, torture, terror, and yes, shelling by liberating forces. The scars remained for a long time - turns out I commuted to school over unexploded British ordnance for two years - but the places, as well as the people, somehow recovered. As will these towns and villages, hills, fields and forests. Sooooorry I went on so long...! Дякую за вашу працю, слава Україні 💙💛

  824.  @Juan_Jose_Miraballes  This channel is a lot more reliable than the troll you replied to - any source they'll recommend if they get back to you is likely to be pro-russian bloggers who are internationally known for lying through their teeth (and also support genocide, which you may or may not find distasteful). This channel is reliable: I've been following it for well over a year and I have never heard anything here that didn't later check out in other reports, including mainstream media. He just explains everything really well, homing in on different areas or topics on different days to keep the videos short and also allow for operational secrecy when needed. I also follow Madyar (currently stationed in the south, working with drones in the Dnipro offensive) and Motolife UA (serving in the east - formerly a biker blogger, hence the name of his channel). Sternenko is a great blogger to follow, he and his team are experienced counter-propagandists and have no problem calling out the Ukrainian government when needed. Operator Starsky blogs in English - he's a UAF press officer who also fought near Kyiv early last year. And yes, these are all Ukrainians - there is no more "objectivity" in following pro-russian sources than there would have been in listening to the nazis before and during WW2. One russian journalist I do follow is Ksenia Turkova, who blogs in English from the US but used to live and work in Ukraine (before, during and after the Revolution of Dignity) - her posts are always worth watching.

  1007. This is Madyar's full video. He rarely comments on anything other than the battlefield, and it's always worth listening when he does. He is highly respected in Ukraine and among the armed forces in particular, and I think his statement will have (probably already has, it was four days ago) a strong impact: The New York Times, не перспективно так робити. (Eng СС) Here's a comment to that video (from @bajanka6854), which really struck me because this is something I didn't know about the Holodomor - or the New York Times. Ukrainian original below. "You probably don't know that it was the New York Times that published in 1933 a series of articles that were paid for by Moscow, that there was no famine in Ukraine, and that all this was the invention of the ill-wishers of the USSR (by that time, millions of people had already died of starvation!). During all this time, this newspaper has never apologized for its deliberate lies to the Ukrainian people/Ukrainian state. The newspaper's editors don't care how many Ukrainians the Russians kill, the main thing is that Moscow pays money for the "right" articles." Ви мабуть не знаєте, що саме Нью-Йорк Таймс опубліковала у 1933 році серію статей, які були проплачені Москвою, що голоду в Україні немає і все це вигадкі недоброзичливців СРСР (на той час від голоду вже вмерли мілійони людей!). За весь цей час ця газетка ні разу не вибачилась за свою навмисну брехню перед українським народом/ українською державою. Редакції газетки все одно скільки українців вбьють росіяни, головне, щоб Москва платила гроші за "правильні" статті.
