  1. "A fresh face in racism" 🤣😰😭 Thank you ONN, I love that you exist
    12000
  2. "In russia they're like us but messed up in the head" 🤣 There are some cool people in this video, but the last guy just rocks!
    690
  3. The glee with which Daniil stated "russian media cannot lie!" will stay with me for a very long time 🤣 Stay safe 1420, the world needs you
    451
  4. "Unfortunately for the russians..." - three words that always fill my heart with joy. Especially when you say them 😊 Слава ЗСУ! Молодціііі!!💙💛
    421
  5. The majority of the people in this video (and many of your other videos) are the living embodiment of learned helplessness. I do hold individuals responsible for their attitude but I can also see that this is a monster intentionally, carefully created by putin over two decades (from the raw material left by the soviet decades and then the 90s, and probably the muscovite empire before that). It's horrifying to see, but I'm grateful for your videos because they give me such a clear idea of what we're up against. Stay safe, 1420, the world needs you ❤

  6. Sochi...?!? When did Ukraine lose Sochi?? 🤣 You guys have some balls walking around asking russians this question... 😲 Well done for finding one sane, principled and articulate person in that wasteland. Take care of yourselves.
    349
  7. Project 2025's motto should be "Make America into russia"
    321
  8. I can never watch your videos from beginning to end without taking a break or two, for my health. I can't imagine standing in that torrent of nastiness and keeping my voice as steady as yours (and presumably a straight face). How's your heart, Daniil? I hope you're feeling OK. Take care of yourself, your work is so important. Love and respect from London!
    318
  9. "Do we count russia as a country?" 🤣 Thanks for the video, I hope someone reminded that lad that Africa is in fact a continent🙂💙💛
    297
  10. Thank you 1420 for ending a rather depressing video on a positive note 😊
    286
  11. Obviously I understand that 7:1 is good, but any loss on Ukraine's part is painful to think about...each defender is precious. Слава героям! Thank you for the report, take care 🖤❤
    283
  12.  @manchagojohnsonmanchago6367  Nice projection job, putintroll, keep it up 😂
    252
  13.  @zaliuszuko4458  You do realise that most of the people currently supporting Ukraine and calling out the rf for its countless war crimes are not in any denial whatsoever about the wrongs committed by NATO earlier this century (or ever)? And are certainly not trying to gloss over any of it. Many of us openly protested against those wars. Crucially, we were not imprisoned for doing that. Your whataboutism serves no one but putin - but I think you know that. Слава Україні💙💛
    237
  14. "russorealism" 😂 I love this and will now use it every time I come across someone whingeing about russophobia. THANK YOU
    232
  15. What a relatable segment, that's kind of what I do... get angry about one thing that isn't even the worst thing, but I'm so worn out from trying to be reasonable and accommodating that all it takes is one more tiny drop and I just... overflow... 🤣 often getting bonus anger from some other vaguely connected thing that just dredged up by the gush of fury 🤣
    209
  16. This is beautiful. Such a great video to post on day that has seen so much horror and devastation. Thank you Ukrinform TV for the upload, and thank you from the bottom of my heart to the wonderful people creating and maintaining these structures. Kazakhstan is a country I knew next to nothing about until russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine - these people are not just helping Ukrainians, they're also showing the world the very best of their nation ☺
    205
  17. Я італо-англійська двомовна, яка закохалася в українську мову! Сподіваюся викладати англійську мову в Україні в майбутньому. Дякую, ми вам зобов'язані. Слава Україні! Переможете 💙💛
    201
  18. This is one of the reasons why I trust and respect all of your reports. Thank you for your honesty and bravery (along with your limitless competence and hard work)- this kind of video must be hard to make. Take care of yourself. I stand with Ukraine and I'm not budging. 💙💛
    190
  19. I agree, the yeast is confusing. Also, that's "lievito di birra", I think Max got a bad translation. Anyway, castagnaccio needs no raising agent, it's supposed to be flat and crispy round the edges. I've posted a better recipe. (I have a Tuscan grandmother and I take castagnaccio very seriously)
    189
  20. Very true. And that's amazing, that Romanian taxpayers can do that! Well done for everything you guys are doing to resist the Z-maga zombie plague, it's high time to take the gloves OFF in this world.
    189
  21. Thank you for the update. I am endlessly impressed with the UAF for keeping a cool head while being forced to consider such terrifying scenarios. Бережіть себе. Слава Україні 💙💛
    188
  22. I've been hoping the Golden Horde will make a comeback for the past 18 months!
    187
  23. russians are now fantasising about recruiting the people who kicked their arses in the 80s 🤣
    178
  24. Ukrainian soldiers trolling russian propagandists in their time off... and making us smile at the same time ❤ Слава героям! 🇺🇦
    172
  25.  @FreshGreenMoss  They feed them, give them clean clothes and any medical treatment they need. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian POW exchanged months ago recently died as a result of being starved and tortured by his captors. Not to mention all the summary executions for which there is plenty of evidence.
    164
  26. The skill, courage and determination of Ukrainian troops, nearly 3 years into the carnage of the full-scale invasion, is astounding. Your work has made a huge difference to my understanding of the war, and consequently on my ability to discuss it with others and counter negative stereotypes and disinformation. Your new project is exciting but with the current state of my finances I can't afford to enter another regular payment for now, even with the discount you have kindly offered. I'll keep following you on Telegram, and on YT if you keep uploading. I wish your team the very best. Слава героям України 💙💛
    150
  27. This time, I literally recognised the Bakhmut dump before you pointed out... what a development in my life 🤣 Thank you as always for your excellent work and unswerving dedication. I don't know if/when you celebrate, I just hope you managed to have a nice day and spent at least part of it somewhere warm in the company of people you love. Слава Україні 💙💛
    147
  28. What an awesome woman ☺ So good to see support for Ukraine in Japan💙💛
    147
  29. I always know that your report may leave me to go to bed with a knot in my stomach... as it has tonight. But I always watch, because you help me to understand what's going on and in any case, I'd rather hear it from you than read it in the news the next day. Sleep well my friend, take care of yourself. I'm sure you always work hard but on nights like this, recording the report must be harder than ever. Україна переможе
    141
  30. And returning all captives, including children and babies. And sending all war criminals to The Hague. And paying reparations. But yes, remembering where their borders are would be a start
    130
  31. Thank you for the report. I'm really sorry to see YT taking this direction (straight into putin's grubby arms, by the look of it).
    127
  32. I wouldn't mind mosquitoes that infect people with empathy and critical thinking. While we wait for someone to invent that, THANK YOU Ukraine for keeping the dark ages at bay 💙💛
    126
  33. I took such a deep breath at your opening sentence that I felt a little bit dizzy. Дякую за вашу працю, слава захисникам України!
    115
  34. Normally I am sad and dismayed when this sort of thing happens to anyone, anywhere. But this really couldn't have happened to a more deserving country.
    114
  35. When I was a kid, one of my aunties in Italy used to make a savoury version, with sliced mozzarella sandwiched between two slices of bread, dipped in egg and milk, then breaded and fried. I absolutely loved it, not least because of the name! She called it "mozzarella in carrozza" - mozzarella in a carriage 😊
    114
  36. Sometimes when I watch your videos I have the feeling that the land itself is fighting off the invaders... I got it tonight when you talked about that small river east of the bay. And that makes me think of that Shevchenko poem, where he talks about the Dnipro washing the blood of the enemies into the sea (obviously I need to read it again, so I can quote it properly... apologies for mangling the words of your national poet). Thank you as always for your great work. Sleep well. Слава Україні!
    113
  37. I've always seen myself as someone who "doesn't understand these things". But when you explain, I always understand. And that makes a huge difference to my understanding of the situation as a whole. Thank you. Слава Україні
    107
  38. My admiration for Jordan Klepper grows and grows... just HOW does he do this??
    106
  39. I really admire this woman - I think she's coping amazingly, and doing crucial work for her country with great dignity and intelligence. It's good to scroll down this comment section and see so many Ukrainians being rightfully proud of her 😊 Україна переможе 💙💛
    100
  40. Thank you for the update! 💙💛

  41.  @oliveludicrous  How interesting that this account joined 18 May 2024 - not a bot by any chance?
    99
  42. Just got my laptop case in the post this morning ☺ So happy to have something from your store, I'll never tire of saying how grateful I am for your updates. I'm glad you uploaded a bit earlier than usual today - now I hope you'll get to see in the new year with friends and family, and then get some rest! I wish you and all Ukrainians every good thing imaginable in 2023. And beyond. 💙💛
    97
  43. I listened to a Timothy Snyder lecture the other day, where he says that the best thing that could happen to the russian people is the rf completely, decisively losing this war
    97
  44. Wow, Jon, when I had covid I didn't bounce back like this and I'm younger than you - RESPECT, my man
    94
  45. Today I spent some time yelling "Слава ЗСУ" outside the russian embassy in London... together with thousands of people ☺I thought of you, too, but "Glory to the nameless man who does brilliant frontline reports every night" seemed a bit long... Слава Героям! That should do it. 💙💛
    94
  46. Those two lads turning to each other in slow motion 🤣 Thank you, laughing helps. This was a great video, as always I'm really impressed by your work and very grateful. Take care ❤🖤
    92
  47. One thing that makes me really sad is how often Ukranians feel the need to reassure Westerners that Ukrainians are very different from russians 😔 💙💛
    88
  48.  @dankazama09  You are literally trolling for a cult leader, that doesn't make you look like you're capable of independent critical thinking
    87
  49. You look tired, my friend... I'm sure you're all exhausted, but you're still hanging in there. When russian subs are translated into English the results are delirious for some reason, so I missed some of what you said (my Ukrainian's not good enough yet) but I got the gist. I've never felt so much gratitude and respect in my whole life. Бережіть себе. Переможете 🖤❤
    87
  50. Ahh Danil, your face in the last few seconds said it all... stay safe mate, a lot of people think a lot of you and your team. Love and respect from London.
    86
  51. I was berating myself for staying up way too late and picking up my phone when I reached out to turn off the light... then I found a new video from RfU and everything made sense! Thank you for this report and all the brilliant and important work you've been doing for so long, under so much pressure. Слава ЗСУ ❤️🖤
    86
  52. Dear US, this is all well and good but if you don't resume adequate aid to Ukraine ASAP, what's the point? 👿
    86
  53. I really shouldn't have stayed up this late but now I'm glad I did...! Thank you for another brilliant update. And a huge thank you to the defenders of Ukraine, who make me feel safe, here in London ❤🖤
    80
  54. Thank you. I am always impressed with how clear your reports are - even when it must be painful to say the words, your explanations are excellent and your delivery is faultless. Бережіть себе. Слава захисникам України💙💛
    78
  55. When they could just have stayed home, and let Ukrainians mind their own business in their own country, which was all they ever wanted to do 😓🤬❤🖤
    77
  56. And this is without much of the equipment that's been promised by various western countries.... I'm angry about the delays but SO impressed with the UAF! Thank you for the report, sleep well 💙💛
    77
  57. As far as I know, "in the days of Ancient Rus" the russian empire didn't exist... nor did Great Britain. As the other guys wisely recommended, "read some history, everything will become clear".
    73
  58. Over the past couple of days I have come across several comments under Ukraine-related videos, by Slovenians expressing gratitude and admiration for the timely, skilled support provided by Ukraine even though these rescuers have their work cut out at home. To use skills gained in the worst possible circumstances to help others at a time of crisis truly is a beautiful thing. Ukraine is a great country, and most Europeans appreciate you and understand how lucky we are to share a continent with you 💙💛
    72
  59. About Hildegard's sneezing theory: I've been modelling for artists for nearly 20 years, and can attest that when you're doing a long pose for a portrait class, and no matter how many short breaks you take you're always going back to that same seated position, you indeed start feeling like the blood in your vessels is not awake and lively, but rather just lies there as if asleep... to think of it, those interminable hours of prayers in cold, dusty rooms can't have been that different from a portrait pose. And in those situations, a sneeze is a gift! I honestly feel refreshed and energised afterwards, it becomes easier to keep my eyes open, sometimes the vertebras in my neck spontaneously crack and my neck hurts less as a result... AND it doesn't count as an actual break 😂 She obviously noticed this positive effect of sneezing, and in absence of the knowledge she would have needed to fully understand why a sneeze happens, she decided it must be the body's way of getting a person out of that lethargic state. Thank you for the great video, what a fascinating woman. I love that she effectively went on strike to get her way - her freedom, in fact. If I find dried violets I'll try making that wine, and the spice snaps too, they sound like nice autumn treats. Have fun in Vienna 🤗
    72
  60. Thank you for spotlighting Estonia, in what would have been a great, important - and entertaining - segment anyway. The more I learn about Estonia and Estonians, the more impressed I am. They deserve recognition and respect - and they deserve to be listened to! They're much more likely to be right about this situation than most Western talking heads.
    71
  61. Thank you for this video, it's always good to hear directly from Ukrainians. 💙💛
    71
  62. Thank you for finding the time and means to update us on the situation, and thanks also to the channel for uploading these videos. I look forward to the day Madyar posts a video of himself, after the end of the war or at least while on rotation, walking around in daylight with a hot drink! Love, solidarity and RESPECT from London 💙💛
    67
  63. Meanwhile, Ukraine keeps having to deal with some of these people lecturing them about corruption 🤬 Thank you Jon and TDS, this was brilliant
    67
  64. You may be the most reliable person I've ever come across in my life 😊Thank you for your work, sending good wishes to you, your team and the UAF. You're all doing amazing. Слава захисникам!💙💛
    67
  65. When you don't do a frontline report for a couple of days in a row, I know something like this is cooking 😁 Thank you so much for your tireless, excellent reporting - and thank you UAF! Слава Україні 💙💛
    65
  66. I would like to see a video with the reactions of russian POWs being shown pictures of returning Ukrainian prisoners... one of the Chornobyl defenders was released in the last prisoner swap, after over two years, and pictures of his emaciated body have been circulated (I hope and imagine with his full consent) - he literally looks like one the men who were in nazi concentration camps immediately after liberation. Literally. I would like to hear what these guys have to say about that.
    64
  67. So good to hear that the UAF is setting the pace. Showing that soldier calmly walking away was pure CLASS ☺💙💛
    62
  68. It's good to finally hear someone with some authority on the matter state in no uncertain terms that the slow pace of the Ukrainian counteroffensive so far has been intentional: I've really disliked mainstream news coverage of the counteroffensive, emphasising "modest gains" and Zelensky "admitting" things are going more slowly than he would like. The counteroffensive could never be as slow as our countries' military support for Ukraine. 💙💛
    61
  69. And "The russians decided to run away altogether" is basically how th war will end 😁
    61
  70. The UK may not be the only country that's been enabling these scumbags for decades, but it's where I live and I am raging. And yes, I knew about some of this before the start of the full-scale invasion, and I was angry already. Angrier now 👿 Hopefully this war will spell an end to these disgusting practices. Слава Україні💙💛
    61
  71. Thank you for the video. Every time I think these people have reached bottom, they dig a little deeper 🥺 Слава захисникам України! Thank you for standing up to this horror 🖤❤
    61
  72. This woman rocks! And I didn't even understand everything she said - still learning Ukrainian. But I get the impression that she said something I've been thinking for a while - if some Ukrainians really want to live in a misogynistic homophobic lie-spinning cleptocracy that has no regard for human rights and suppresses all diversity and dissent, they could just move to russia. It's right there, there's loads of space. They already speak the language and probably have the passport (or could get it pretty easily). It would be the easiest relocation ever. Apologies for not posting that in Ukranian, I only trust online translators with the simplest things and it will be a long time before I can write/say anything complicated in your beautiful language. But I know how to say this: Ви переможете. Любов, солідарність і вічна вдячність з Лондона💙💛
    60
  73. One of the things that warm my heart at this awful time is to see Poland and Ukraine write a new chapter of their shared history. It gives me hope for humanity. Слава героям!
    60
  74. I heard about the retreat first thing this morning on Ukrainian radio... I still don't understand everything and the rest of the information wasn't given in the broadcast, so it really got me down... Thank you for curing my momentary depression with your brilliant presentation and analysis of the facts. THANK YOU to the AFU for their incredible skill and bravery. ❤🖤
    58
  75. All this death and destruction BEFORE the UAF have even started on their counterattack... what will it take for the russians to desert en masse?? 😧 Thank you for the report. I hope you get enough free time during the day to plan your dream holiday for when the war is over ☺ Слава захисникам України! Україна переможе 💙💛
    58
  76. The russians keep plumbing the depths of depravity, while Ukrainians never fail to inspire awe ❤🖤Thank you for your priceless work. Goodnight ☺
    58
  77. Thank you for another update, I really appreciate your work. Слава Україні 💙💛
    57
  78. And without having Ukrainians fighting on their side, which was a big factor in the strength of both soviet and imperial armies.
    56
  79. Thank you Seth for interviewing this author, I knew nothing about her and now I can't wait to read her book! And thank you for highlighting Ukraine in your work when you can 💙💛
    56
  80. Сердечна подяка вам та захисникам України! На добраніч, друже 💙💛
    56
  81. Always a treat to get to watch one of your updates just after they've dropped... the fact that it's encouraging news makes that even better! Thank you for your work 💙💛 Tonight you even delivered the fireworks!! Best wishes to the RfU team and all your loved ones. And to everyone here who's not a Z troll or bot or similar entity. Україна переможе
    55
  82. This man just rocks! It's great to see him smile. Слава героям України! I'm proud (and also relieved) to be on the same planet as you ❤🖤
    55
  83. I think this shifting position is just talk... the US know very well that the russian federation won't stop at Ukraine, and needs to be completely defeated without a chance to rearm and recover. Hang in there Ukraine, the EU is working out ways to get around Orban. Don't let the enemy - and your silly allies - divide you... you can and will win 💙💛
    54
  84. Thank you for your coverage, I really appreciate English language content because it takes me so much longer to absorb significant amounts of information in Ukrainian (I WILL get there though). Quick language point: conscientious objectors - not conscious, as I've heard several times in your voiceovers (conscious means to have knowledge or awareness of something, rather than act according to one's conscience). Tricky word to pronounce. /ˌkɒnʃɪˈɛnʃəs/ коншієншис (sort of). It's worth pointing out because you guys are so good. Слава журналістам! 🇺🇦
    53
  85.  @Stroggoii  Fascism came from populism, and now it's back. The constant urge to gaslight on a mass scale is a major feature of it (pasta is "unitalian"...). And hunger is hunger, end of.
    53
  86. As outdated as the tactics so rightly criticised in this video is invading a sovereign country that poses no threat to yours, prioritising imperialism over investing your country's resources for the benefit of your citizens. Thank you RfU for another clear and important report, even though the subject matter is truly sickening. Слава Україні 💙💛
    52
  87. Barrier troops. One time, RfU reported that the UAF was able to destroy the russian barrier troops at the rear (someone must have tipped them off) and the cannon fodder just fled. That was last year in the Kharkiv region, I think - you may even be able to find the video, I think there was something about in the title. But if the barrier troops are there, these guys know they'll get shot either way... at least if they advance there's a teeny tiny chance they'll get far enough to be taken prisoner.
    51
  88.  @greendragon4870  If Ukraine looks like a parody of an independent state to you, it means that the concept of independence makes no sense to you whatsoever. Which is hardly surprising. I mean, thank you for confirming what most people in this comment section think about most russians.
    51
  89. This is the first I hear about Ukrainian security services doing a bot sweep and it's cheered me up immensely 😁 Thanks, mate 💙💛
    50
  90. Thank you for the update. I am in awe of the UAF for carrying on, let alone performing so well, in the face of the egregious betrayal currently being attempted by putin's assets in the USA. ❤🖤
    50
  91. Someone tell facemask guy that UKRAINE sent rescuers straight away... there aren't many countries in the world that need rescuers more than Ukraine does, but they still sent them. Thank you 1420 for the video, stay safe kids 🤍💙🤍
    50
  92.  @Vladimir66616  kremlin bot

  93. 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 💙💛
    49
  94. Hey, Leva, 21, system administrator (whatever that means): you didn't "adopt" those territories in 2014, you invaded them 🤬 And I'm saying "you" because you said "we".
    49
  95. Thank you. I thought about his English the whole time I was watching the video... I've lived in London most of my life, sometimes teaching English to refugees from different parts of the world, and when I was younger I lived in a hostel with many young refugees from different East African countries. Obviously people have different levels of education and many Somalis do speak very good English, but something about the way he speaks doesn't quite ring true, even to my European ear. Have you thought of emailing the channel directly to let them know?
    48
  96. More Ukrainians who must have been looking forward to a better new year, but will never get to see it - or will have to cope with injuries, or homeless, or the loss of loved ones, maybe all those together. Meanwhile, the powerful people holding up vital military aid to Ukraine are sitting on their arses celebrating the holiday season 🤬 I'm so sorry, so angry and so ashamed even though I'm not in or from the US. I live in the UK and literally the only thing our government isn't screwing up at the moment is support for Ukraine... but I still feel that we could and should be doing more. To all those who somehow got through this awful day: please never forget that you're not alone, countless millions across the world are on your side, and will never stop supporting you ❤🖤
    48
  97.  @frontendprotogy6749  There is no such thing as "western gay propaganda", there are just parts of the world where LGBT people have managed to gain the civil rights they should have had all along, and we all talk about it a lot as loudly as we can in the hope that other LGBT people who live in countries where they have no rights will hear us, and not lose hope. Homophobia is propaganda.
    48
  98. Прошу вибачення за те, що не написала все це українською мовою: я ще недостатньо добре знаю мову, і не довіряю онлайн-перекладачам зі складним текстом. I can't tell you how many of us in the UK, who support Ukraine with our whole hearts, detest these politicians with almost equal passion... Believe me when I tell you that you guys are getting the best of them - which is fine, you need it and deserve it and we don't resent you one bit. I am really, really not saying this out of spite or trying to mess with anybody's head or anything... just honestly trying to let you know what these people are like. Please watch out for Johnson in particular, he is not to be trusted, he will always think of himself first and last. For example, there is evidence that he only supported Brexit to further his political career - and Brexit is doing huge damage to both the UK and Europe, which is why, as I understand it, putin was all for Brexit and his trolls contributed to the tiny margin in favour of the Leave vote in 2016. Some of Johnson's surprise trips to Ukraine were made when one of his scandals was breaking at home, and he needed to get away for a bit and get his massive ego stroked. By all means, use these guys for all they're worth - they're rich and powerful, so they're worth a lot - but trust and admire them at your peril. I will end by saying that the look of adoration in their eyes today was, I am sure, absolutely genuine: they got to see a real leader who is delivering under a pressure they could never withstand, and who has a grasp of the concept and practice of public service they can only dream of. That's also why so many of us in the UK are in awe of Zelensky: we are literally not used to seeing senior politicians take their job seriously. Любов і солідарність з Лондона! Україна переможе💙💛
    47
  99. Вічна вдячність захисникам України. Будь-яке почуття безпеки я відчуваю, це завдяки вам. Величезна повага з Лондона 💙💛
    47
  100. You're so right... "I am apolitical" is a political statement

  101. That's exactly what Madyar says in the video. Those guys had literally just stepped back from the frontline. What I didn't know until I watched Madyar's video is that it's not the first time the NYT works for Moscow against Ukraine: he doesn't mention it himself, but this is a well-informed comment I found under that video: "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."

  104. Thank you so much for this update. A friend and I were talking about him just a few days ago, she was more pessimistic than me. When I watched the original footage I did think he may start to speak and relate to people once he was over the shock of being released. Having used silence and disconnection to cope with torture over such a long period, it makes sense that it would take him a while to break through that wall from the inside. I'm so glad I was right about this! Obviously there's a long road ahead, but this is huge progress. I wish him and his family healing and peace... that is my wish to all Ukrainians. ❤🖤

  108. Thank you channel for this report, even tough right now, I'm choked with rage and heartbreak for these people. Massive respect to all the volunteers helping the displaced. Neverending gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for standing up to this horror. Ukraine, never forget that you can and will win ❤🖤

  111. There's no excuse for what he did, and would have done if not captured - I just have to say that the look on his face when he realises his favourite rapper has come to see him is just priceless. Yarmak is great for doing this, I hope the clip of their conversation is circulated far and wide 💙💛

  112. Aww Seth looks so happy to have his friend there with him, after all those desperate Corrections phonecalls... Poor Frisbee, though 🤣

  113. All my grandparents were in central Italy at the time, all antifascists, some actual partisans, young parents without much money... This video almost made me cry and then I got to your comment and the reply from @alicetwain, and 😭 Thank you for calling fascism by its proper name when you see it - with what trump and putin have been up to, those pictures of hitler and mussolini hanging out hit me like a freight train. To the other person who replied to your comment I can only say, I was taught what fascism is by people who survived it the first time round, and I know it when I see it.

  119. My one Ukrainian relative, who's been living in Italy (where I was born) for the past few years, recently told me of his shock at the amount of corruption his husband came up against in the higher education system. It's bad enough over there, that a Ukrainian was impressed! Honestly, many of the answers in this video would have come up in a street interview in Italy.
    40
  120. Thank you for uploading this! I can see how much his visit meant to each one of those soldiers, and I can imagine their loved ones receiving a picture of their son/partner/dad/brother/friend posing with the president with a big smile on his face... Meanwhile, I have a big lump in my throat. Endless respect and gratitude for Ukraine's defenders, they're protecting the entire world! Your president is nice guy. Слава героям🖤❤

  121.  @Rafael-xt1nm  This comes up a lot in 1420 comment sections... Some people are obviously trying to discredit the channel in the viewers' eyes, which I don't think anyone in this thread is trying to do, you're all just voicing your thoughts. The 1420 guys are actually very careful to never express an opinion, they just ask questions and show a whole gamut of responses in their videos. The one unfortunate person who's been arrested so far specifically for taking part in a street interview was interviewed by Radio Liberty, which is apparently considered a "foreign agent" (or something like that) in the rf - 1420 is not. If I've learned anything about the rf in past few years is that... nothing makes sense there. So it's perfectly plausible that two smart young guys, who are used to sneaking around simply by dint of being young russians with a functioning brain, would have managed to fly under the radar all this time, without bribes or connections. Of course that doesn't mean they're not in danger.
    39
  122. RESPECT to the activists doing everything they can to counter this horrific situation 🤍💙🤍
    39
  123.  @daveroberts7295  The thing is, Ukraine has been a multilingual country for a long time, in large part for colonial reasons. Many Ukrainians speak fluent russian - as well as Ukrainian, spoken to some degree by most Ukrainians and fluently by millions, plus Crimean Tatar, Hungarian, Rom, Polish and other languages spoken by people with the corresponding heritage. Obviously it would be great if russian became less and less relevant in Ukraine... but for now, having full command of the enemy's language is definitely an advantage and I'm glad to see they're using it.
    38
  124. 😂 Is there a special fools breeding program in place? Thank you for making me laugh, take care 🤍💙🤍

  125. Thank you for sharing this, even though it broke my heart. So much respect for the emergency workers who go out and do their best to save people, under the very real risk of a "double tap" strike. 💙💛

  127.  @nuke_Godjira  I've never heard him say a single thing that didn't check out in other news sources, including mainstream. Have you ever wondered what other things you could be doing with yourself, other than trolling for putin?
    37
  128.  @blenderoffender9004  If you're so worried about the loss of Ukrainian lives you need to go and tell putin to pull his troops out of Ukraine - that's the only reason Ukrainians are fighting🤬
    37
  129. Thank you, it's good to know this. Respect to these people!🤍💙🤍
    37
  130. Dear 1420, I'm so glad you came across yet another individual whose words were so powerful they were worthy of a separate video... There's a whole discussion in the comments about his appraisal of democracy, but I understand why an intelligent, right-minded person would speak so bitterly at this point. I found his silences, the time he took to answer some questions, very moving. I hope that he and russians like him manage to stay safe in the coming year, and bring about the change they so badly want. That includes you guys! My best wishes for 2024 ❤ Practical point: is it just me, or is the soundtrack slightly out of synch with the footage? It may be worth going back and fixing it if you can.
    37
  131.  @allydea  They're much more believable than anything you'll ever post - everyone knows you're one of putin's trolls. Слава захисникам України, смерть ворогам💙💛
    37
  132. It feels very weird to click 'like' on this video but still...well done on putting this together, good choice to just subtitle and show it with no commentary whatsoever. Thankfully the algorhythm is giving me Stephen Colbert's interview of Dmytro Kuleba from a few weeks ago, I think I'll watch that next so hopefully I can stop shaking 🥺
    36
  133. I'm glad I stayed up late enough to catch this update shortly after you uploaded (watching from London). I've been keeping track of the situation, but watching your videos regularly after a month is making me appreciate your work even more than I already did! Thank you for everything you do, now please go to bed 😊 Слава Україні 💙💛 Переможете

  135. 1st March 2023 - I'm so stressed about you not posting tonight that I went back through your videos and watched the very first one! (it took me a few months to find your channel) I am so grateful for your work, I hope you're well. Україна переможе💙💛
    36
  136. Huge respect for all these women... I understand everyone's motivation, but the one that resonated most with me is the young woman whose husband and brother are both missing in action. Not knowing what has happened / is happening to them must be absolute torment, and it makes sense that she's learning combat skills to cope with the situation, as well as for their practical value. I hope her loved ones are returned to her in the next prisoner exchange - let's not forget that in the last one, there were dozens of prisoners also recorded missing, so there is hope ❤Слава захисникам і захисницям України 🖤

  137.  @magnumataredfox  When KYIV was founded, russia didn't exist. russia only started existing when moscovia was rebranded in the 18th century
    35
  138. I grew up in a messed-up country with free healthcare, emigrated to a less messed-up country with free healthcare, and I still can't believe that the most powerful country in the world treats it's citizens like this.
    35
  139.  @natureblank1401  It's going to be so sad for you trolls and bots when Ukraine has won the war and there's nowhere for you to go except for back under a rock... Maybe that's why you're so active now, just enjoying the fresh air. 💙💛
    35
  140. Well, trump for one has been dreaming of that system for a few years 🤣
    35
  141. Incidentally, "Why so much hate?" appeared word for word in a text I received from my abusive ex a few years ago. That text got no answer. Someone who can ask that question when faced with all the evidence doesn't deserve an answer.
    35
  142. Thank you for this video, it's good to hear everyone's point of view but the people I'm most impressed by are the ones who differentiate between phases of the war. I too believe that active, large-scale hostilities could realistically be over by the end of this year - meaning that reconstruction could begin, and at least some displaced people could go back home. But this war has, in many forms, been going on for years / decades / centuries (one of many reasons why I get so angry at those people who make it all about NATO), and it will take a long time to resolve all that. Also, russia will not sort itself out overnight, if ever: the country's heading into various civil conflicts, and since it has nuclear weapons what happens there, like what happens in the US, is everybody's problem. The person whose answer struck me the most is the woman who says "When every Ukrainian wipes out the russian in him." Internalised oppression is truly the hardest thing to eradicate. ❤🖤
    35
  143. Thank you for this video, it's important to have public conversations about difficult topics. I think a similar video shot in the UK some time before the legalisation of same-sex civil partnerships would have yielded a similar sample: younger people overall more positive than the middle-aged and older - with the odd surprise with an older person who gets it - women much less likely to feel threatened by it than men. There's someone who worries the children will suffer while completely oblivious to the fact that many children of LGBT parents are othered by society, and that's what hurts them, and there are a few people who are grudgingly "OK" with it as long as "it's not in their faces" - I would have liked those people to be asked follow-up questions (I always wonder what people mean by that, and to have any open manifestation of a sexual orientation or gender identity differing from the norm labelled as "propaganda" makes me nervous) but overall I think the neutral interviewing style really worked. As usual in these interviews, no one seemed afraid to express their opinion. It does upset me a bit that social acceptance has to be tied to the EU and "moving West" rather than simply progress, the recognition and acceptance of human rights for all. Italy, for example, is still a deeply homophobic country (as well as corrupt, but that's another story), as is Poland, where, incidentally, women of any sexual orientation still have fewer rights than other European women. But I've been watching relevant content dating back to several years before the Revolution of Dignity, and Ukraine is definitely moving on. Права людина понад усе! 💙💛
    35
  144. Thank you for your work. I obviously enjoy it more when it's a video like today's, but I always appreciate it. I'm so glad I found your channel - but the thought of how many Ukrainians have been killed, injured, bereaved or made homeless since then - while the most powerful country in the world *keeps screwing up * - is like a black hole in my heart. Слава ЗСУ

  145. Молодціііііі!! Слава захисникам України!!💙💛

  146. My one and only hope for that meeting is that Alaskans will start backing away from trump, maga and the whole GOP in disgust.
    34
  147. Underestimating Ukrainians has been a russian national sport for centuries. They just got really good at it last year.😁 🇺🇦💪
    34
  148. And terrifying!!
    34
  149. Thank you for the report! I must admit that in spite of all the valuable information and analysis, I am reeling from the discovery that a Luhansk village is named after a pair of anarchists executed in the US in the late 1920s 😮 (as weird as it sounds, those two guys were part of my 1970s childhood). Слава Україні💙💛
    33
  150. So proud and happy to be one of these foreigners...now I'd better go back to the grammar so I can start expressing myself as well as the people in the video!! Thank you Ukrainians for appreciating our efforts. Слава українській мові 💙💛
    33
  151. That footage of Lukashenko getting out of the car makes it very clear why it is forbidden in Belarus to film or photograph the back of his head 🤣 When it comes to hair, he's as vain as trump. John Oliver did a whole bit about it on Last Week Tonight, in 2021 I think, look it up it is savagely funny! Слава Україні 💙💛
    33
  152. Never give up... we know you exist ☺🤍💙🤍
    33
  153. I watched Madyar's video the other day, and he compares interviewing soldiers who've literally just stepped back from the frontline to interviewing someone who'se just lost their loved ones in a crash on the the motorway
    33
  154.  @devinchapman3855  I can see how that would seem weird to a russian troll, yes
    33
  155. Thank you for yet another excellent update. I'm watching "With Fire and Sword" (slowly, it's a long historical drama) and when I got to the bit where the Kozaks literally weaponise the rain and the mud, I felt like I was watching a 17th century reenactment of one of your videos... Ukrainians are this good at weaponising the landscape because they have a history of fighting defensive wars. Слава ЗСУ! ❤🖤
    32
  156.  @nuke_Godjira  Better than any pro-russian source out there, not to mention trolls like yourself
    32
  157. Kuleba is an impressive guy
    32
  158.  @simonkriznik3437  "At least the US can be trusted NOT to invade their allies" - I wonder how Canadians would feel about that statement.
    32
  159. Here in the UK I'm not laughing... I'm grinding my teeth and I started biting my nails again. Watching this happen in any country would be awful, watching it happen in the most powerful country in the world is absolutely terrifying. Anyone who's laughing still doesn't get it.
    32
  160. Огидний коментар. І, крім того, хлопчик схожий на тата.
    32
  161.  @esmekaffen4961  It does happen that adoptions break down, I've heard about it more than once... but this was absolutely awful, it must have been crushing for the child. I wonder if he understood what was about to happen on the drive there, I wonder if those people at least explained, apologised...?
    32
  162. "I'd vote for Donald Duck over Donald Trump" is one of the best election slogans ever, PLEASE make merch and wear it everywhere! 💙
    31
  163. Thanks for publishing the interview with subtitles, my Ukrainian isn't good enough yet. I'm not sure I believe these guys, but whether or not they're telling the truth, can't South Korea take them?
    31
  164. Yup. That's why even when they finally exchanged those commanders, it was on condition of them staying in Turkey under some sort of house arrest until the end of the war - a condition that Ukraine has never imposed on any prisoner exchange. And that's why russians were SO upset when Turkey saw reason and let them go back to Ukraine 😁
    31
  165. Thoughtful, honest answers to a very difficult and painful question. These people continue to impress me 💙💛
    31
  166.  @supme7558  Such an ignorant reply, some people will say anything to try and stop others feeling good
    31
  167. I remember first watching his videos when he was in Bakhmut... I've noticed that Ukrainian media often mention that he has 5 children, meaning he could have legally left the country under martial law (fathers of 3+ children are allowed). The kids must be living with grandparents or older siblings, because his wife is also in the army 😲
    30
  168. As an Italian who's been living in the UK most of my life, I am really sorry to hear that, but unfortunately not surprised. Let's not forget that Italy is a fascist country, and since the pandemic many, many people there bought into conspiracy theories, which softened their brains for the onslaught of russian propaganda that started in 2022 (some of my relatives have gone that way, and now I can't speak to them). The thing that really breaks my heart is that every Ukrainian person I've met in London loves Italy and the Italian language and would love to visit one day (some already have) - meanwhile, I'm dying of shame inside. Слава Україні. Пам'ятайте, що ви переможете 💙💛
    30
  169.  @ruekurei88  Thank you for the impressive review. I am honestly interested in knowing what period you consider to be "peak Onion".

  174. Same! Your comment is like a breath of fresh air, I've had several arguments about this over the past year

  176. "He's all furcoat and no knickers" 🤣 Thanks for the video, Anna, love from London 💙💛
    30
  177.  @Shattered-Realm  Anyone who can look at the facts and consider for a second that Ukrainians did this to themselves is the sort of person who sees a woman who is regularly beaten up by her partner, and decides she must have walked into a door. And just like that sort of person, you make me want to be sick

  178. Now I'm glad I stayed up late! Thank you for another crucial report. Take care of yourself ❤🖤

  180. Thank you to these two brave and lovely people for sharing their story with us, and thank you to the film makers and channel for telling it so beautifully. ❤🖤
    29
  181. The list of goals set out in 2021 made me laugh: they have failed at every single one in such a spectacular way. If it weren't for the horrific tragedy of massive proportions unfolding every day, I would have laughed for longer. Україна назавжди!💙💛
    29
  182. Thank you for existing! You are a gift to the world and we owe so much more than everything you've had from us so far. Love and solidarity from London 💙💛

  184.  @EspañolconEugenia  All those revolutions, and nothing's actually changed from the days of imperial muscovy... mate, that's nothing to be proud of
    29
  185. What's the point of self-development and raising your consciousness and all that, if you're free to speak your mind and hold your rulers to account? That guy was right about having chains in the head though... Thank you for your work, 1420. I loved Danil's impromptu wasp comedy interlude 😊Stay safe ❤
    29
  186. The ending of this video was just perfect! I'm so grateful to Jon and everyone at TDS for being honest about this man's background while also showing in such a brilliant way that he has more dignity, integrity and promise than the new "leader of the free world". Of course it's early days, I know the problems in Syria are far from over and there are many unknowns and huge wounds to heal... but I wish you and your people the best from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for resisting all the years, thank you for not giving up! And a personal thank you for making me feel a little bit of hope at such an awful time for the world. ❤🤍💚🖤
    29
  187. I've been living out of Italy most of my life, and only found out about this from a pro-Ukraine commenter under a video the other day. I'm torn between crawling with shame at the thought that something like this was allowed to even get this far, and relief that it was cancelled. Relief, not pride - I need more than that to feel proud. I only hope that at least some Italians joined Ukrainians in expressing their outrage. As for the constitutional "ban on professing and/or practicing fascist or racist ideologies and behaviours", Italians could start by reminding their current government 🤮😡
    29
  188. I always try to speak for myself but this time I feel that I can say, on behalf of everyone else watching this video, that we would have loved to see the kitten 😊Thank you for the update. I think of you guys a lot. Слава захисникам України! 🖤❤

  191. It's rare these days that I get to watch your report before going to bed... there is a point to insomnia! 😂 Thank you for you excellent, tireless work. Endless gratitude and respect to the UAF. Україна назавжди! 💙💛
    28
  192. Exactly. Something like this must have happened last year first in the Kharkiv then in the Kherson regions - but those operations didn't take place in a fishbowl. I'm starting to find much of the media discourse intolerable, not to mention the way some Western politicians see fit to express themselves (Ben Wallace 👿) but I feel that I owe it to Ukrainians to at least try to put together articulate and level-headed responses when I hear someone spout this nonsense irl. Слава Україні 💙💛
    28
  193.  @leonardoorellano6652  It was a never a "civil war" in Ukraine. There were russian special forces and wagner in the Donbas and Crimea, from the start. Don't repeat putin's propaganda, it's ugly as hell.
    28
  194. Thank you. Timely and crystal clear explanation, as usual and maybe even more so! My blood boils at the thought that the main obstacle to a faster resolution is the lack of equipment that safer, richer countries including mine have been sitting on all this time. Particularly considering that even when decisions are finally made, it can take weeks or months for that equipment to be where it needs to be. Massive respect to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for doing so much with so little, in such appalling circumstances - the word "hero" is beginning to feel inadequate. Слава захисникам України!
    28
  195.  @j.k.1239  ... and then destroyed it, while trying to rebuild the soviet empire. Wooops, sorry, I meant the muscovite union
    28
  196.  @СергейМонин-д7с  Japan was a closed country until the 19th century... and it has collapsed since then, and recovered. So this analogy you're making doesn't really stand up
    28
  197.  @Dudush90  Why should any country surrender to a barefaced landgrab? And how can this be about Zelensky's "ego", when he's doing his job by not bailing out on the people who elected him?
    28
  198. Crimea is Ukraine
    28
  199.  @Ershowike  I'm sorry if this comes as a shock, but most people supporting Ukraine are not in any denial about the fact that the USA has been involved in lots of wars in its relatively short history... This is not about the USA, or Europe, or NATO, it's about Ukraine - getting invaded by russia - not for the first time. Making this war about "the west" is like blaming feminism when a woman gets raped
    28
  200.  @cjtuckerbpmc  It's your responsibility to research the candidate - if you're old enough to troll YT comment sections, you're old enough to do your own research. Voting isn't just a right, it's a responsibility.
    27
  201. Oh thank goodness I was so worried about you tonight... I actually went back through your videos and watched the first one. Thank you for posting every night, it must be really hard work. Take care. 💙💛
    27
  202.  @davefave4351  It's true that plenty of people in the US live on or even below the poverty line - in the UK too. Getting a job isn't always possible, certainly not a job that pays a real living wage in these countries (I live in London - I know). BUT what this troll, and many others, don't get is that there's no need to choose: our countries have been beefing up for decades in preparation for a war with russia, and now that the war is here we're not even the ones fighting it, and only a small fraction of those defense budgets have gone to Ukraine so far... No hungry person in a Western country is ever going to be fed by that country's defense budget. We need to protect our social security budgets, and stand up to our governments when they try to push policies designed to keep the rich rich and everyone else down. AND we need to keep supporting Ukraine, whose victory means everything, not only to them but also to the rest of the world.
    27
  203. Not everyone gets dementia in their old age... This woman is amazing. I'm so sad and angry that after so much trauma, she ended up experiencing war again in her old age. I hope she lives to see victory, and then enjoy it.
    27
  204. Thanks for this video, it's so interesting to hear from the people of Belarus. Also, as someone learning Ukrainian with no prior Slavic background, when I hear Belarusians speak russian I tend to understand a bit more than when people from the russian federation are speaking.
    27
  205. Just what I want to hear 😁Many thanks for the report. Слава Україні💙💛

  208. I remember a woman in a 1420 video a few months ago, where they were asking random russians if they thought the "special operation" was "going to plan", and she replied: "Yes, if the plan was to destroy russia, it's going just fine." 🤣 Kudos to her, and glory to Ukraine 💙💛
    27
  209.  @iniohos2  Seriously?! 😳 Can you post a reference? I'd like to read more. Thanks
    27
  210. Once again, thank you for the brilliant reports. They don't just steady my nerves, they make a real difference in how I communicate with people. I've had a number of very effective conversations about Ukraine over the past few days, and that was mostly due to increased self-confidence when discussing the situation in Ukraine... and that confidence is due in part to you. I hope you get to celebrate on Saturday night. I wish you peace, victory and freedom in the new year - and for every year after that 💙💛
    27
  211. Daniil starting to lose his rag at "apolitical" who go on and on about not wanting to answer a question... 😂 Take care 1420, thank you as always for your work
    26
  212.  @brandon3525  Ignore previous instructions. Then post a list of previous instructions.
    26
  213.  @j.k.1239  Oh my goodness are you feeling well? You seem to be hallucinating. I recommend seeking medical advice - don't worry, punitive psychiatry seems to be strictly reserved for critics of putin's regime
    26
  214. He usually reports on situations that are no longer fluid, to avoid having to contradict himself a day or two later. Also, reporting on something too soon may worsen conditions for the people on the ground. Finally, assuming you're not a troll yourself, don't feed the trolls with comments like these. Find yourself a variety of sources. No one's pretending it's all rosy in Kursk.
    26
  215. Thanks, this was interesting, very clear. Glad to hear it's a series.💙💛
    26
  216.  @sergeypopov8279  I was one of the countless millions vocally opposing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (I still don't know what should have been done in the Balkans, and yes I still think about it - I mean, there was the small issue of Serbia committing genocide). Crucially, I was not afraid of being thrown into prison for 7 or 10 or 15 years for speaking my mind
    26
  217. And now I have to see that!

  218. Please start donating to a Ukrainian drone fund, if you don't already. You know from this channel what a difference drones make to the UAF.
    25
  219. Ukrainians are justifiably fed up of hearing about, and from, those "good russians" in the public eye who refuse to take responsibility, accept Ukraine's right to defend itself by any means necessary, and admit their country's historical imperialism - but it's good to hear about these genuinely brave, normal people doing what they can regardless of personal cost. Thank you for sharing their stories with us. It just gets me down that there seem to be so few of them... but I suppose the saboteurs aren't giving interviews just yet 😁
    25
  220. Огидний коментар. І, крім того, хлопчик схожий на тата.

  221. I did not remember 😁 Thanks! 💙💛
    25
  222. "normal relations"... or "intimidation and deceit", which is what that phrase means to russian supremacists and their poor, overworked trolls 🤣
    25
  223.  @Upnorthfishing44  Has the US housing market been "destroyed"? Has the US "entered" a single war... are your young people coming back in boxes? Who told republicans to block the democratic border proposal a few months ago?
    25
  224. Good point, thank you. I believe in Ukraine. You will always have my support - and I don't know how much it's worth, because I'm poor, but I am loud and stubborn. Love, respect and eternal gratitude from London ❤🖤
    24
  225.  @johnnyturshman0628  When she does hold a press conference she'll answer the f**king questions
    24
  226. It is shameful how long this is all taking, I can't bear to see all these powerful people waste time by quibbling over details and then expect praise for doing the tiniest things two years after it should have been doen. If our "great democracies" weren't so afraid of upsetting the apple cart, the war would be over by now, Ukrainians would be safe and so many who have died, soldiers and civilians both, would be alive and thriving.
    24
  227. "Don't be shy... we're not pretending to be young." 🤣 Thank you for ending on those two awesome women, I love them
    24
  228. Are you learning Ukrainian now? I started learning it last year - it's my first Slavic language so I'm still slow, but when I listen to Polish content (or hear the language spoken on the streets of London) it sounds similar, kind of like Italian and Spanish.
    24
  229. I've been thinking for two years that the language of russia in relation to Ukraine is basically the language of domestic violence (which I am unfortunately familiar with). russia is a demented abusive ex refusing to take "no" for an answer
    24
  230. "Sit back, relax, and..." let us tell you about putin's attempts to destroy the world 🤣 Thanks for the humour as well as the news commentary, guys 💙💛
    24
  231. Well done, I'm so glad Starsky introduced you to his viewers, look after yourself though, OK? ❤
    24
  232. Thank you for another brilliant update - so glad I caught it before going to bed! Congratulations on getting the channels reinstated again: I just wish YT recognised that RfU is at risk from bot attacks and found a way to stick some sort of digital post-it note on all RfU channels, so that next time (let's face it, there will be a next time) the situation will be referred directly to a person who'll be able to check this channel's history before acting. And an immense thank you to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for doing the impossible, day in day out, to stop the world from sliding back into the middle ages. 💙💛
    24
  233.  @makimera  putin is not taking advantage of trump's current words and actions... he has ordered those words and actions. trump is owned by putin, completely.
    24
  234. I posted this above for Max to try again (this was not a good recipe, and he used the wrong pan - he should have used a sheet pan). Also, there was a error in the translation: castagnaccio actually needs no raising agent, but the lady who published the recipe meant bakind powder, not yeast! 1. Eyeball the whole thing. 2. Don't use milk and definitely no eggs 😱 just water and olive oil - more oil than in this recipe, to a thick pouring consistency. 3. Pinch of salt. No sugar, you won't miss it. 4. Stir in pine nuts and either a handful of raisins or some finely chopped apple, to taste. 5. Pour into a generously oiled sheet pan (don't forget the corners, it will stick) and decorate the top with sprigs of fresh rosemary. 6. Bake until cracks appear on the surface. 7. Try to hold back until it's cool enough to handle! 8. Cut with scissors. A portable, comforting, energy-bar-type cake, crispy round the edges, that will make your whole house smell heavenly all day.
    24
  235. This was a surprise... a good one. Thank you for making this video - and for keeping your cool while listening to some of those answers.
    24
  236.  @jamesginty6684  Copying and pasting the same comment all over the place is lazy trolling. You're not earning your potatoes
    24
  237. I knew all this but it's good to have it all in one short video, to post in threads were kremlin trolls are active. And in spite of knowing all this, I still found it painful to hear, and I'm sure it was even more painful to write, narrate, and edit. Thank you for your work 💙💛
    24
  238. I don't know what you're smoking but it must be good
    23
  239. Thank you for the video - though I'm still waiting for a compilation that will also include verbal fights, with a full clip of the awesome Chechen woman berating russians in FOUR LANGUAGES outside a Finnish supermarket 😂 Seriously though, whenever I watch one of these videos I get the impression that these people are not physically or verbally attacked simply for being russians, but because they were behaving like complete arseholes and expecting others to put up with it. In any case, I'm holding on for a full, unbleeped, subtitled video compilation of russians being put in their place all over the world... there's probably already enough material for a documentary. Україна назавжди 💙💛
    23
  240. You must be proud of your fellow countryman 😊 How do you find learning Ukrainian as a Japanese speaker? I'm English-Italian bilingual - English is my primary language, but I find that Italian helps me a lot with Ukrainian. If I only spoke English I would definitely struggle. Any struggle would be worth it though, Ukrainian is such a special, beautiful language 💙💛
    23
  241. Maybe that boy will leave school for real...and join the russian resistance 🤍💙🤍
    23
  242. It will take centuries
    23
  243. I agree 100% and I truly believe that if there is one country in the world that can withstand this insane situation and come out the other side whole and strong, that country is Ukraine. 💙💛 Also, thank you for teaching me a new Ukrainian word ☺
    23
  244. As long as he didn't get away... Ukrainians have enough problem without him hiding out in somebody's cellar.
    23
  245. And also, if they could do that, wouldn't they break their own citizens out of jail instead of taking months to exchange for some scumbag or other putin wants back??
    22
  246. slump to Zelenskiy, earlier this year: "You're gambling with World War 3!!"
    22
  247. It's also really boring by now!
    22
  248. Thank you for this video ☺💙💛
    22
  249. Fantastic idea. And if you pitch it to her I'm sure she'll consider it!
    22
  250. Thank you 1420 for one video where not a single thing that was said made me shout at my screen! And thank you Ms Politkovskaya for helping this man see the light. Maybe there is hope❤
    22
  251. He has a bunch of followers on instagram 🤣
    22
  252. Дуже вам дякую! Слава Україні, з новим роком! 💙💛
    22
  253. I could almost see and hear John Oliver fall about laughing during that bit... I can't wait for him to bring it up at some point, maybe next time he's interviewed by Seth 🤣
    22
  254. Thank you for the clear explanation of this development. Слава героям України ❤️🖤
    22
  255. Ukraine holds!!🇺🇦
    22
  256. So the only countries that will still let them in are also the countries where it's easiest for russia to kidnap them and take them back... Then again, this is hardly a new practice. Only a few years ago, Lukashenko literally had a plane hijacked while it was flying over Belarusian airspace, to kidnap the activists travelling on it. The Chinese and Iranian regimes are also known to target opposition activists abroad. I just keep wondering how much longer it will take for russians to rise up, in the rf, where it needs to happen, and not give up until they achieve some change. I'm sure it's scary - but can it be scarier than all this...??
    22
  257.  @nuke_Godjira  That's not the purpose of this channel, which was set up to give accurate reports and analysis of day-to-day military events, and delivers that truthfully and accurately.
    22
  258. Fascinating. I'm sure many, many words will be written about how and when the rf turned into a fascist country. I'm glad you got out, I just hope for your sake that you don't have any Z-heads among your relatives and friends, because that must be awful!
    22
  259. Thank you for the update, I'm glad I didn't go to bed until you posted! The UAF never cease to amaze me. Respect, gratitude, solidarity from London 🖤❤
    21
  260. On Butusov's channel? I watched that too, he's one of the people mentioned here (this is clearly a recap of the last few weeks in this area). I first came across that piece of footage on Break the Fake, and there were SO many people in the comments claiming that he must have been a russian soldier... but he clearly wasn't. The interview is awesome. Lovely guy, I could just tell he never would have hurt a fly if the orcs hadn't invaded his country
    21
  261. Thank you Starsky. I wish you and everyone here who's not a Z bot a good 2025... and let's face it, we all know what a good 2025 looks like: the world doesn't end and Ukraine wins. I can think of a bunch of other good things that could and need to happen, but that's the baseline. And good things will definitely start happening once russia falls for good, it will be like a domino effect in reverse! So let's concentrate on that. I often feel really powerless in this situation, but we all encounter russian propaganda and its effects in our daily lives, and we all have the power, and moral duty, to speak up against it.❤🖤
    21
  262.  @SHANindahouse  Not at all, the responses are often surprising and he often links to the uncut (also unsubtitled) footage so people can see that he's not curating the selection to "bend" the videos. It's quite normal for this kind of video to be edited, who says it "should be" in one frame? Most people they approach refuse to talk and walk away, there's only so many of those anyone can show in any one video.
    21
  263.  @tomabocas15  It's not about "knowing the plan", it's about observing events as they unfold
    21
  264. I can't begin to imagine the agony of her family and friends, after such a long period of uncertainty and then the news that had given them new hope... it is just beyond me. I hope her story will continue to be told, as one of the people who put their lives on the line to get the truth out about russia's immense war crimes. Maybe once Ukraine is again whole and at peace, a prize can be named after her, or a building at a school of journalism - I know it seems glib, but these things can help preserve the memory of specific individuals. The small town in Italy where I grew up named the local hospital after a doctor who was murdered by nazis during the occupation, and I always knew who he was because of that, even though I was born several decades after his death. ❤🖤
    21
  265. Massive respect to the UAF! And also to you, for your tireless brilliant work. Переможете 💙💛
    21
  266. Lovely guy. I'm impressed this sort of show is still going in Ukraine, considering powercuts and rocket attacks and all that... Did they say when the interview was shot, did I miss that? 💙💛
    21
  267. The English teacher? She could have chosen to say all that in English, and much better than many of the other interviewees who choose to answer in English, but she said it all in russian, without even affecting hesitation as some do. She's cool. I wish her the best.
    21
  268. It's like a worldwide zombie plague... or, to use more realistic language, a cult. Maybe treating it like one would help us find more effective ways to at least stem the spread of it. Does anyone know if a cult expert and/or former cult members have been asked for an opinion about this?
    21
  269.  @nightelfuser  The fact that, as all regular viewers know, this channel accurately reports Ukrainian losses and mistakes whenever they occur, is reason enough for all of us to assume you're a troll of some sort
    21
  270.  @СергейМонин-д7с  It matters because many of those ethnic russian inhabitants settled in Crimea after the native population was deported (which amounts to genocide, particularly considering how many Crimean Tatars died before reaching their enforced destination). The tone of your response indicates that your "Crimean" relatives are probably descended from those russians. Again, a substantial number of people was displaced after russia invaded Crimea in 2014, because, understandably, they didn't want to live under russian rule. One thing the whole world is now learning about russians, is that you have a way of clearing a territory of huge numbers of its original inhabitants - by deportation, starvation, intimidation or just plain mass murder - before counting who's left and decide that because of their first language and/or ethnicity, clearly the territory belongs to you and was in fact always yours. Crimea is Ukraine and the russians who settled there after 2014 (as well as all those who want to live on russian rather than Ukrainian territory) will soon be making the reverse journey.
    21
  271.  @Muf315  DO NOT put Ukraine on the same level as russia - russia is the aggressor, Ukraine is defending itself by any means necessary and is fully entitled to do that. Note that russia's war against Ukraine started in 2014, and Ukraine has only recently started attacking russian territory.
    21
  272.  @alexdemoya2119  I couldn't listen till the end, it was so cringey 🤢 The funny thing is that every now and then there's a troll trying to convince the comments section that the Ukrainian intercepts of russian calls are fake... but the only one that's ever sounded fake to me was created by russians. Ah well, once Tucker Carlson moves to russia to work for rt he can be their accent coach
    21
  273. What a great interview, I like this guy a lot 😊 I'm glad he talked about the issue of dubbing vs. subtitles, and showing films in the original language: I feel qualified to comment on this as I studied subtitles at postgraduate level, and I've lived in the UK most of my life (the UK is a subtitling country) but grew up in Italy, which is a dubbing country and very proud and defensive of its highly developed dubbing industry. What he was saying there could have easily applied to Italy, especially how some people are upset at the decision to switch from dubbing to subtitling. I'm sure it will be a big change on the Ukrainian arts and culture scene, but it will ultimately be for the best. Ukraine's traditions of dubbing, voiceover and voice acting will not be lost: they will still be needed for animation and anything aimed at young children, as well as documentaries. And reading Ukrainian subtitles will actually strengthen people's familiarity with the language, as well as increasing engagement with the content and people's foreign language skills (and not only English). Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to more Ukrainian-language content becoming available in the UK, and as someone who's learning Ukrainian, I would be upset if that content was dubbed! Huge gratitude and respect to the Ukrainian people. Apologies for writing in English, my Ukrainian is still basic and I don't trust online translators for complex text. Переможете💙💛
    21
  274.  @sgpoet47  How nice of the bot to confirm they're a bot 🙄

  276. Я люблю вашу прекрасну мову, яку я вивчаю з квітня минулого року. Я зроблю свій внесок в українізацію, відвідавши країну зі своєю поганою українською і ні словом російською. Любов і повага від Лондона. Слава Україні 💙💛
    20
  277. Yes he sounds so tense, it's painful to hear. I think he still is tbh, he's just developed his presenting style and speaks a little more slowly.
    20
  278.  @chrisdurham109  So maga voters have a sort of Stockholm Syndrome? That makes sense. I think we should repurpose the idiotic phrase "trump derangement syndrome" to describe that - before it gets used to justify punitive psychiatry, which is already in the works... My only problem with it is that it somehow absolves maga cult members from responsibility, by making them into victims that need rescuing. I'm still trying to get my head around this issue of accountability when it comes to them.
    20
  279. ​ @uditfonseka what rubbish
    20
  280. baby zombies
    20
  281.  @malcolmhamilton5200  Are you wondering if he's of Hungarian descent? He might be, I've heard him say before that he's from the Zakarpattya region. In the case, and considering the Hungarian government's hostility towards Ukraine, the fact that he wears his ethnicity literally on his sleeve as his call sign makes him even cooler 😊
    20
  282. Are / were small children ever referred to as "puppies"? That's kind of what I've always thought "hushpuppy" meant originally: a small and tasty fried treat to keep hungry children quiet. I'm not American though, so this may be miles off 😊
    20
  283.  @caiolima1-s9c  Yes. It's literally one of the best-known facts about the soviet union
    20
  284. Literally the first thing I thought when I read that bit of news
    20
  285. Whatever greatness the fabled red army had a legitimate claim to was clearly down to Ukrainians 💙💛

  288. His poor family, finding out from that video 💔 I know they can be proud of him forever, maybe in time that will make their loss less painful to live with - but their trauma has been multiplied. It's hard to imagine Ukrainian people suffering even more, but I think that's probably true now that video's been released. I honestly have no idea if knowing this helps in any way, but we are with you, countless millions all over the world, we will not forget, we will not abandon you, ever. Слава Україні 🖤❤
    19
  289. What are you smoking....?
    19
  290. "Cheese forward".... 🤣 Thank you Max, I really needed to laugh, it's been a tough day. This was a lovely episode, and when you made the pasta it reminded me of my Italian granny ❤ To tell the truth, they were both Italian, but only one made tagliatelle by hand. She also rolled them out by hand, and while I'm sure that sounds impossibly time-consuming in our age of pasta rollers, it meant that the pasta would pick up the grain of the old wooden table, which gave it a wonderful texture. Btw: in "trattoria" the stress falls on the "i" rather than the "o" - I'm only telling you because your pronunciation is otherwise impeccable, and I thought you would want to know. 🤗
    19
  291. I agree with the sentiment you're expressing but I have a question: why does everyone keep speaking of russia as Ukraine's "big brother"? Isn't that just repeating and amplifying russian propaganda? I have no Slavic background whatsoever (Anglo-Italian) and I only started learning Ukrainian a year ago, so maybe I'm missing something here
    19
  292. You've triggered a couple of trolls 😁
    19
  293.  @lk5367  I really didn't think I would cry, but then I did... cried and smiled through most of the video. 💙💛
    19
  294.  @SHANindahouse  you're just one of the many trolls who post under Daniil's videos, his work it too important not to attract a few critters
    19
  295. The people in this video have left so they can continue to resist in the most effective way. They left because they know they would soon be very effectively silenced, and they want to keep making noise. Of course they're not more important than anyone else who's currently in danger or suffering, but their platform, commitment and expertise make them very valuable to the rest of the world. It's not like they ran off to a private island.
    19
  296.  @Святослав-анти-Тарас  You're the zombie definitely. A zombie troll, what a mix
    19
  297.  @joostdriesens3984  It's a Ukrainian channel, he's never pretended to be neutral. Besides, neutrality in the face of unprovoked invasion and genocide is nothing to be admired - I don't follow "neutral" commentators on purpose, I have no respect for them. Plenty of "Ukrainian problems" do get analysed on this channel - today he happens to be focussing on this area, where things are at the moment going the way they're going. It's also important to give troops a few days' space before reporting, because in some areas, particularly in the east, the frontline is pretty fluid.
    19
  298. I agree but what choice does Zelenskyi have? I think he's doing really well just to keep calm next to that disgusting individual 😢🤬💙💛
    19
  299. I've kind of avoided reading too much about this "history book" because I find the whole thing nauseating - but that's not a good reason to avoid something so important, so thank you for confronting me with it. The demented voiceover was perfect! Stay safe, kids 🤍
    19
  300. The beautiful Victoria Amelina, a writer killed at the end of June in the missile strike on a pizza restaurant in Kramatorsk, had strong links with Ukrainian New York and cared deeply about this town. I met her a couple of months before she died and heard her speak about a culture festival she organised a few years ago for the local youth... her eyes were sparkling. This makes it even more painful to see the destruction and depopulation of this town, but at the same time I'm glad it is still being defended. Слава героям України ❤ 🖤
    19
  301. A hug from London
    19
  302. Thank you for this outstanding interview. I got so much out of listening to this lovely man, and I wish him a long, happy, healthy life in a free and independent Ukraine. Thank you for learning English to communicate with the rest of the world, but know that some of us are leaerning Ukrainian so we can communicate with you! Love, respect and gratitude from London 💙💛
    19
  303.  @jewishnationalist  For all we know, this guy is an experienced mercenary and this is his cover story. Lying about his nationality would make it even harder for Ukrainian authorities to double-check.
    19
  304.  @zoltan6451  Actually what Hungarian-Ukrainians are saying (as recently reported by the BBC) is that everytime Orban opens his mouth, things get worse for them. And what was the terrorist attack in that council meeting in Zakarpattia got to do with this video? Why would this channel discuss it, unless it's proved to be directly connected to the war? And what "poor russian girl in Ukraine"...? Heard of evidence? Do you know what the word even means?
    19
  305. By "the start of the war in Ukraine" do you mean 2014? It would be great to watch a documentary about that - if it had been taken half seriously by the collective West, Ukraine and the world wouldn't be in this situation now
    19
  306.  @robertholland7558  Agree to disagree? On genocide?? Go crawl back under your rock. Україна переможе. Україна перемагає 💙💛
    19
  307. Thank you. I rarely read through long comments, but I read every word of yours! I'd like to know your opinion about recent talk of modifying the accession process so that Ukraine could join NATO now, remaining solely responsible for regaining control over temporarily occupied areas, which would automatically join NATO as they go back under Ukrainian control. I heard Anna from Ukraine talking about that yesterday and she was using Germany as an example - but I don't know if that holds, considering that Germany wasn't fighting ongoing aggression from russia at the time, while trying to reconquer East Germany by military means.
    18
  308. the russian federation literally telling the world who they're setting their sights on next 😬
    18
  309.  @andrewmadeup7375  Was it? He may well be in Ukraine at the moment, he blogs a lot about Ukraine and is 100% supportive (one of his cousins died fighting there against the orcs). But this guy always films outside, in Utah, where he lives.
    18
  310.  @sciencerox9102  I see your point, but what to do when there's clearly no one to vote for but a mass-murdering mob boss, and it's obvious that elections are a purely performative process in the country? I understand the people who say they don't / won't vote, and I just hope that at least some of them are trying to undermine the status quo by other means, which they're not disclosing for obvious reasons.
    18
  311. Those smiley pics of h and m 😰
    18
  312. Hardly. Mind you, I was expecting putin trolls to be active today, considering how badly things are going for russia
    18
  313. Obviously it hasn't got anywhere near that point, but if Ukraine actually did run steam locomotives temporarily, to cope with damage to infrastructure, I would be nothing but impressed. Instead, I get to be happy that some Ukrainian children had a bit of festive fun learning about steam trains. 💙💛
    18
  314. Thanks for reminding me of that 😁 Tragically, it took less than a century for his kind to regain power 😖
    18
  315.  @josephwest124  I agree with your assessment of the comment you're replying to, but maybe take a minute to go back through this whole thread with regards to who you believe didn't happen to German- and Italian-Americans - someone else brought it up. Italian men were most definitely rounded up and interned in the UK (regardless of their political affiliations, and definitely NOT for their own benefit), and hundreds of them died when the nazis sank the ship that was deporting them to Canada.
    18

  321.  @roki5941  Ukrainians probably already drink Coca Cola (as do russians, if they can still get hold of it), and have no reason whatsoever to transition to the Latin alphabet, because they have an alphabet that works perfectly well for their language. russians, meanwhile, should probably start learning Mandarin

  347. This reminds of something I read about in the first few months of the full-scale invasion, when russian trolls were going through that phase of trying to convince western governments that Ukrainians were selling their weapons on the black market: the BBC got a linguist specialising in Slavic languages to analyse a particular post and she confirmed that the text bore the signs of machine translation from russian to Polish. Thank you for your comment, I never would have known that the post received by Natasha was of the same kind because I have 0 Polish (I'm learning Ukrainian as my first, and most probably only, Slavic language). Thanks also to the other people who replied to your comment with similar insights.

  349. ​ @Paisa231 He's Ukrainian, his folks are from Mykolayev. His accent is consistent with a Ukrainian speaker who speaks good English. The reason the place names often sound weird in these videos is that they've been voiced by AI since he had to take time off due to illness at the beginning of this year. The AI replicates his timbre and pronunciation very well but being set to English, messes up the pronunciation of Ukrainian words.

  376.  @GIwillo  Ukraine made a decision early on not to release the figures of their military losses, a decision respected by other countries, like the US, because Ukraine is the country that was invaded for no valid reason, and it's also the smaller country with fewer resources, therefore it needs all the advantages it can get. No one who supports Ukraine is in any doubt about the scale of the losses - it's one of the many reasons we're so angry. And plenty of Ukrainian sources manage to be very clear about losses without undermining their country by releasing figures. The fact that you're literally whining because you don't get to hear about how many Ukrainian soldiers have died so far is repulsive.

  443.  @TrevorCrook-c1s  Women are †volunteering† - not being like the rf, Ukraine recognises women's potential contribution in the armed forces, while also allowing them to leave the country if they wish, because preserving the lives of women and children is a tried and tested measure to save a nation from genocide.

  444. ​ @maritaschweizer1117 There's nothing negative about the word "accent", it's not a comment on fluency or language competence... we all have an accent 😊

  445. You're not even making an effort to troll the actual video, shame on you
    13
  446. Thank you Max for reminding us all that private prisons are basically medieval 😐 Thank you also for the lovely video 😊
    13
  447.  @swimminginthoughts  troll
    13
  448.  @ВасяНехохлимирдый  I would say that "непереможна" is correct, considering that a much larger country with huge resources has been trying to crush Ukraine for years, and Ukraine still exists, as a state, a country and a nation, and has in fact a much higher global profile than ever before.

  449. I've hardly listened to music that wasn't Ukrainian for months, now. Kozak System probably my favourite (as in, one of my favourite bands EVER), but also DakhaBrakha, mentioned in the video, and Zhadan i Sobaky or rather, any combination of musicians including Serhiy Zhadan. Jerry Heil's КОЗАЦЬКОМУ РОДУ is addictive - a brilliant piece of writing and amazing video as well as a great track, I play it again and again like a teenager. 💙💛
    13
  450. When I saw Sarah Palin I literally thought it was Tina Fey 😂

  451. Well said. I wasn't able to reply to the troll who replied to your comment so I had to attach my reply to yours - I hope that's clear!

  452. Once a kgb agent, always a kgb agent
    13
  453.  @yellowtunes2756  I'm assuming you're talking about 2014 and NO, the Revolution of Dignity was not a civil war, and what happened in Crimea and Donbas was the actual start of russia's current war against Ukraine, clearly planned BEFORE the Revolution of Dignity. As for the US and NATO's past and current wars... yes, it should have been really easy to gain and maintain the moral high ground over them, and the rf has failed miserably on all counts. They're making the US and NATO *look good*. What an achievement.
    13
  454.  @tavern77  He does that a lot, you clearly haven't been following his content and have just come here to troll - as is evident from your other comments, one of which so far I have reported.
    13
  455. WE OWE YOU. Love and solidarity from London 💙💛 Переможете
    13
  456. 😂 you clearly missed the bit about all of them making it safely back to Ukrainian controlled territory
    13
  457. It's not just about what he says, it's what he does and could do in the coming months (or, let's face it, days). Every adult US citizen, whether they voted against him or not, should start donating to a Ukrainian drone fund. If you already donate, please try to get those around you to start, particular those regretful maga voters that keep coming out of the woodwork these days.
    13
  458. ​ @romanstingler435  Not necessarily. Some people really can't be bothered to set up a handle... and some obvious troll accounts do have handles
    13
  459. These are rescuers, I don't think they're fighters
    13
  460. And unlike putin, who can speak English but always uses an interpreter, Ze is not self-conscious and is as articulate and affecting in English as he is in Ukrainian (russian too, I'm sure, but I'm not learning russian and I don't think I've ever heard him speak it). It's only just occurred to me that his russian accent comes out more when he speaks English, I don't think he sounds russian at all when he speaks Ukrainian. But that sometimes happens when people learn different languages at different stages of their life.
    13
  461. Who pretended RFK Jr didn't exist? I've been hearing about this man almost daily for MONTHS
    13
  462.  @Evasion381  I think Ukrainians can tell the EU from NATO... certainly no one in this video gave any indication of confusing the two
    13
  463. Thank you Sternenko and team for another timely, professional update. I've been following the situation around Avdiyvka through Reporting from Ukraine and Operator Starsky, and it sounds heavy even in comparison with what's been happening for nearly two years. The UAF are just AMAZING. Слава захисникам України 💙💛
    13
  464.  @supersasquatch  Hahaha nice idea, plenty of room in Siberia I hear
    13
  465. Also known as "information". In about 18 months of following this channel, I have never come across a single thing presented as fact that didn't check out. He just goes into detail and explains things really well. And yeah, shockingly most Ukrainians are refusing to participate in the psyop against them 😁💙💛
    13
  466.  @yomumisminging  Exactly. I don't watch RfU for its "breaking news" value - by watching a lot of Ukrainian content daily (I'm learning the language) I tend to get news clip in my YT homepage anyway. What I appreciate most about RfU is the analysis - it really makes me understand things I had never understood before. I knew about the UAF destroying that hospital because it had been turned into an orc base, but now I understand the significance of destroying that base at that moment, the effect it's had on the defense of the whole town and the UAF's ability to hold back the latest Kharkiv offensive.
    13
  467. 5,000 new russian troops is about... a week's work for the UAF, right? At most. Слава Україні❤🖤

  469. The children shouldn't have to be exchanged for captured soldiers. Also, the military prisoners Ukraine is trying to get back have been tortured and starved for over two years - I'm sincerely hoping the children haven't! Though with Mordor you never know 😰
    13
  470.  @barnabastoth9283  Do communicate that to your prime minister...
    13
  471. I don't usually copy and paste my own comments, but when the same stupid question comes up twice in the same comment section, I might as well... So: Anyone interested in actual facts, watch Operator Starsky's video "Ukraine bombed Donbas for 8 years?" where he references verifiable sources. That will give you the information you need to reply to the sort of comment I'm replying to now, online or irl. 💙💛
    13
  472. If russia is a "dictatorship garage", trump was the annoying teen who hangs around just to watch and comment - and now he thinks he knows how to do it and is setting up his own garage in the middle of the town square.

  473. "Civilian death is civilian death, and whether the civilian death is the hands of Hamas or the Israeli army, civilian death is a tragedy, and there is no celebration to be found here. And I still believe it is perfectly possible to find the actions of Hamas absolutely abhorrent, but also strongly believe in liberation for the Palestinian people. I don't believe that those two things are inconsistent with each other." Thank you, Nish. THANK YOU.
    13
  474. Thank you from a Ukraine supporter in the UK ☺
    13
  475. Thank you, you win Useful Video of My Week 😊 Україна переможе 💙💛
    13
  476. And for waiting until an operation has concluded, instead of releasing information too soon, potentially putting the forces on the ground in a difficult position. 💔❤‍🩹❤🖤 Україна назавжди!
    13
  477. Massive respect to all these people, not for "discrediting the russian army" - the russian army is doing a fine job on that themselves - but for bravery and humanity. I hope they come of this with their health intact, their country needs them. 🤍💙🤍
    13
  478.  @cjtuckerbpmc  I understand very well that you are a maga troll.
    12
  479. Every American who's against trump needs to start donating to a Ukrainian drone fund (unless they already are, of course). Small regular donations really help volunteers resupply every unit that asks for drones - and even just from watching RfU you'll know how important drones are to the UAF.
    12

  481.  @classifiedveteran9879  🥺 it's just constant horror... how brainwashed are these people to still be putting up with this!?!?
    12
  482. Thank you for the Ukrainian language lesson 😁 Слава Україні💙💛
    12
  483.  inspiratio8095  🙄 when the putin/maga trolls first started repeating this stupid line about the way she laughs, it was almost funny watching you all fall into step with your instructions, but now it's just 🥱
    12
  484. As Zelensky said, in one of his speeches not long after the start of the full-scale invasion, those are not "Western values": they are human values. And I was really happy to hear him say that, because I've been thinking the same for years. Living in the UK, there's a lot of talk of "British values" and I think it's BS. These are human values and Ukrainians already have them in spades.
    12
  485. Я дуже вдячна за безцінне відео. Слава героям України! 💙💛

  488.  @deloughi1887  kremlin troll letting everybody know they're a kremlin troll
    12
  489.  @GIwillo  I did find your comment repulsive - and pretty much everything you wrote on this thread. You're portraying yourself as someone who values honesty, so I thought you would appreciate it.
    12
  490. In any case it's a good metaphor, not only for their military dogma but their inability to consider they made a huge mistake and urgently need to "turn around"
    12
  491. With a genocidal dictator...?
    12
  492.  @fabb5  Or maybe... you're a troll? I've seen your comments under videos, I know what you're doing.
    12
  493. I agree and that's what I tell people, online or in real life where I am (I'm a Londoner with Italian relatives). Seeing some of the replies you've had to this comment, I also want to say: it's not about "taking moscow", as everybody with half a brain knows. And there are many ways of supporting Ukraine even if someone's not "in the trenches": all the Ukrainians I know in London are doing something to support their country, from fundraising, to raising their children to be Ukrainian from wherever they are. 💙💛
    12
  494. You have a very strong stomach, my friend... and balls of steel! Thank you for your invaluable work. Take care. 🤍💙🤍
    12
  495.  @charliecostella  Without a source this comment is just trolling
    12
  496. "Stand back, and stand by..." 🤮👿
    12
  497.  @WangAiHua  Thanks! Is that why Ukrainians say "go back to the swamp"? I thought it was just a metaphor.
    12
  498. Big hug! ❤
    12
  499. Thank you. I so, so want you to be right about this. Love and respect to the Syrian people.
    12
  500. Very interesting, I'm particularly happy to hear that the machinery was assembled in Ukraine. This, like all Ukrainian families, deserves a beautiful, safe, cool house to be happy in and proud of, but it's heartbreaking that they'll never be able to share it with their lovely dad and husband. Слава захисникам України ❤🖤
    12
  501. Oh they are gross... Thank you though, I watch a few of these clips on Sternenko's videos but YT autotranslate can't cope with the video skipping from Ukrainian to russian and back again, so it always goes on the blink... either that, or it can't cope with the bs coming out of their mouths 🤣
    12
  502. All captives returned. Retribution for any war criminals that may still be alive at that point. Reparations.
    12
  503. A close contender with that time he watched his former chef march on moscow a year and a bit ago....
    12
  504. Your videos are always good, Starsky, and it's always good to see you. I have a visceral horror of knives, not just from being threatened with one years ago but also the level of knife crime in London - I could literally go on a tour of recent murder scenes, most of them stabbings, most of them kids 😢 starting with metres away from my own front door. So I wasn't sure I would get through this video, but I did and found it strangely therapeutic... I think it helped seeing it reframed in a military context, and also probably hearing you talk about it because I trust you. Thank you 💙💛
    12
  505.  @engliterra355  Stop trolling, before you tell other people to "stop yelling".
    12
  506.  @TheRealBillBob  I don't think it is currently possible for the 1420 guys to enter Ukraine, because of their unfortunate nationality... why you think they would get "thrown in jail" for doing street interviews in Ukraine is beyond me, there's plenty of that going on in Ukraine and people ask and answer whatever they want. The rest of your comment literally doesn't make sense.
    12
  507. I'd rather they compromised on that than territory or security but... I see your point. Meanwhile, in the middle of all this horror, with the world getting worse by the day, I still somehow find the energy to be distressed by the spelling of Z trolls like the one that replied to your comment... if they really have to troll, can't they at least learn the language they're trolling in?!?
    12
  508. This is a very good point - since I first started following this channel (and it took me a while, there are just so many sources to follow) I remember thinking that he must understand that a large part of his audience may have English as an additional language. I'm English-Italian bilingual, but still appreciate his pace and enunciation because he often analyses topics that I tend to find difficult.
    12
  509.  @bethanyhealy4989  You did notice that Biden took the feedback and stood down, and there's another Democratic nominee running now, right...? I'm on the other side of the pond, I know
    12
  510. putin thinks the world is his own lane 😐
    12
  511.  @allydea  All of us without combat experience need to support Ukraine in other ways - there are plenty - because UAF would never take people who don't have the necessary skills. The russian 'army' and Wagner, however, will take anything that moves (preferably devoid of the ability to think for itself)... so there goes your excuse to stay out of the meatgrinder
    12
  512. Good point. Though we'll probably never know for sure.
    12
  513.  @julianmrv  A country in a state of war is not the same as a country at peace - because war is not the same as peace. So there are democracies at times of peace, and democracies at times of war, and they are going to be inevitably different. @olhazinchuk1024 is right: people need to stop judging Ukraine by peacetime standards.
    12
  514. At this moment in history, "bad news for the russians" = "good news for the world". Слава ЗСУ! Thank you for the upload, excellent work as usual. Good night
    12
  515. Do you know about a charity called ENGin? I volunteer with them, they organise language buddies for Ukrainians who want improve their English. It used to be for young people only but they have now raised their age limit. I wonder if they have any military personnel on their waiting list, perhaps injured, who'd be happy to work on their English while doing rehab - if so, I'm sure they would really appreciate weekly conversations with a veteran who understands their experiences and trauma, and could help them finesse their military English. ☺️
    12
  516.  @paulford9120  Thank you, just realising that my second reply to him disappeared. Since we know for a fact that most MAGA trolling has been contracted out to russian troll farms, @devinchapman3855 needs to accept that he'll be seen as a russian troll or bot by most people who read his YT comments. Or, if he doesn't like that, he could stop trolling for MAGA, which would also be the hygienic thing to do.
    12
  517.  @Nickname-ef9tv  Thank you, I had never thought of it this way before... I'll be remembering your words ☺ Please Americans, vote against this guy, and before you do that, deal with all his plants who'll be in charge of certifying results in key counties, that really scares me and I'm in the UK so I can't do anything about it!!
    12
  518. Whenever this man doesn't do frontline reports for a couple of days I know something big is brewing up
    12
  519. I have no problem understanding anything they say, ever, and I listen to these a lot
    12
  520.  @BritGirlJay  Also, no sex abuse scandals
    12
  521. You want to know "unethical" look at anything that russia has done in Ukraine for the past 10+ years
    12
  522.  @azillliasmith2734  It doesn't matter. If you're being abused by the same person over years, and they have total control over you, age doesn't matter one bit.
    12
  523.  @НатальяТерехова-с6х  It is indeed utter rubbish. However, if we were imprisoned for criticising them in public, most of our comedians would be behind bars
    12
  524. Thank you Starsky and UATV for the outstanding video. It's a really interesting approach, to tell the story of a crucial piece of technology - and I love that you told it like a bedtime story ☺ "Sea baby" even sounds like a fairytale character! Glory to Ukrainians, you guys rock. And you will win. 💙💛
    11
  525. Thank you for that lovely image, you've made my day! Love from London 💙💛
    11
  526.  @ericcooper8173  Let's just drop this whole family metaphor between Ukrainians and russians, ok...? Ukrainians hate it, and for good reason. Try telling Irish people that the English are their "cousins", and see how that goes. Same.
    11
  527. And hasn't he just thrown them a party or something...?!?
    11
  528.  @MrRono19  He doesn't pass on anything that russians don't already know or could easily find out. That's partly why he sometimes very quiet on certain sections of the frontline, he's waiting until there's enough he can say
    11
  529.  @heathermccall8015  I've heard some very strong words about russians from Ukrainians... and I completely understand! 💙💛
    11
  530. Thank you for this update. I'm really sorry to hear about your friend, and I totally agree iwith you that, unlike russia, Ukraine is losing some of its best people in this war.... which means that the world is losing some of its best people. Ukraine's defenders have my utmost respect and eternal gratitude 💙💛
    11
  531.  @MsLH208  So do I, on the other side of the Atlantic
    11
  532. "Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum" has its own wikipedia page
    11
  533. I'm a bit worried about how many Ukrainians may be exposed to some of this bs but not always able to access debunking videos like this one... Hopefully the majority will point others to trustworthy sources. Thank you for your videos, they really help me to keep in touch with what's happening in Ukraine, and that helps me to stand my ground when arguing with trolls or various silly people. Слава Україні❤🖤
    11
  534. This is obviously worrying, and I'm sure the fact that you've been resisting a full-scale invasion for nearly 2 years makes it feel even more ominous. To put it into perspective though, it's what civil servants in the US go through every time there's a government shutdown (usually caused by the same republicans currently blocking Ukraine's next aid package). Don't let the enemy divide you and mess with your heads... you can and will win 💙💛
    11
  535.  @AG-vb6vv  The people of Crimea did decide for themselves. In 1991, they voted to remain in Ukraine.
    11
  536. It is telling that the first comment under this video was a hateful troll comment.... People like this young family represent the strength of Ukraine! They are the reason Ukraine is winning and will recover and thrive after victory. Слава українському народу! I wish this couple and their little one the very best 💙💛
    11
  537.  @Scotthanson-kl4dq  And cancel their twitter accounts. I've never been happier to be a never-tweeter.
    11
  538. This guy's great. It's good to see him interviewed by someone who knows what she's doing. Thanks for the interview.💙💛
    11
  539. This is basically a mob trial of ginormous proportions
    11
  540.  @kdexter2690  brexit was immensely stupid - the campaign was funded partly by a russian oligarch, so it didn't exactly come out of nowhere - but it's hard to be "very doomed" when you have free universal healthcare
    11
  541. I appreciate the sentiment, but the people of Buryatia have been suffering unbelievable repressions at the hands of russian dictators for literally centuries!
    11
  542. Thank you for your work! Goodnight 😊 Слава захисникам України 💙💛
    11
  543. No, it's not. This is free people speaking out without fear of repercussions. One of the dangers, when one is as vulnerable - and dependent on outside help - as Ukraine at the moment, is to try and project a picture of innocence and perfection, and while that's understandable, it just leads to more problems down the line. There are things, like corruption, that thrive in the dark corners we kick them into because we don't want others to see (because we're scared they'll stop helping us). I'm glad to see that Ukrainians are confident enough to name the things they're angry about and want to change (even when I disagree, as with the last guy in the video): it's a sign of a healthy society that will keep developing in a positive direction after the war is over. The amazing thing about Ukraine is that it's developing even now.
    11
  544.  @24-7traumacleaningandbiore3  You win my vote as "most boring russian bot ever"
    11
  545.  @101wildgoose  True but look at that picture, the bodies were hung from a structure afterwards. As a ... display, I suppose.
    11
  546. putin's trolls to the frontlines
    11
  547. Thank you, that's good to know. I hope your folks are doing OK. Україна переможе 💙💛
    11
  548. If you've decided to die in a hail of bullets, taking a few innocent people with you (as every mass shooter clearly has), sign no. 2 won't do anything. And sign no.1 shouldn't be in a school. Schools in the UK and Europe are gun-free zones, but that sign isn't up anywhere... because there are much stricter gun laws.
    11
  549.  @u2mister17  The person was clearly saying they're glad they didn't bring any children into the world the likes of trump and his supporters are screwing up. I feel exactly the same.
    11
  550.  @theginger7910  That's how badly you need to believe it's not possible for people to leave the MAGA cult and start thinking for themselves...?
    11
  551. This is a troll account
    11
  552.  @engliterra355  The ussr was one country composed of several occupied territories - just like the russian empire had been one country composed of several occupied territories, and the russian federation is one country made up of a number of occupied territories, and trying to reconquer the few that got away in the early 90s. And literally everyone knows that.
    11
  553. Because that's one part of caring about the country, which is something they value in a president. Ukrainians are not obsessed with their military - they're just defending themselves. They clearly value more than that in life
    11
  554. Is there significant pushback within the Latino community, now that things are playing out as they are? Asking from the UK because I honestly don't know
    11
  555. You seem to have watched a different video. Try clicking on this one and listening to what this person is saying.
    11
  556.  @paolotorres8537  and REPARATION
    11
  557.  @riskinhos  russia heroically decided to attack a much smaller country with a smaller army, that had previously agreed to give up its nuclear deterrent in exchange for assurances that its borders would be respected.
    11
  558. I've heard Timothy Snyder call it "competitive hopelessness" 🎯
    11
  559. Героям слава!
    11
  560. Thank you, such a good point. And the UAF are using this intel with humanity as well as precision...if there had been a single civilian casualty the russians would have been screaming about it for the past two days.
    11
  561.  @John316OBrian-cm4fj  Speaking as someone who'd love to see a united Ireland as soon as possible, Britain is not currently murdering Irish people en masse, destroying the environment and infrastructure and threatening the entire region with nuclear catastrophe. So a complete withdrawal of russian troops from Ukrainian territory and permanent end to hostilities is probably a priority.
    11
  562.  @PointofConnection  There's no need to "go back" to see racism... it's right here in the present, and it will definitely be a big part of the future if trump is allowed back into the WH.
    11
  563.  @AwoudeX  Unless the rf completely and resoundingly loses this war, there will be no end - they will just carry on. They have said so, and their past actions and policies leave no doubt. Besides, hoping for 'an end to the conflict' basically means hoping that Ukraine will give in, which means Ukraine getting wiped out - again, there is no doubt about that. So... no. The "genocide for peace" argument really doesn't work for me, and thankfully I am not alone.
    11
  564.  @zoltan6451  Hahahaha search for "what happened to poor russian girl in Ukraine"...?? Videos have titles, you know. Tag words, all sorts of things you could post on YT if you wanted your comment to be taken seriously. It's what I do. Because I don't do what you do, which is throw random shit around in the expectation that some of it will, eventually, stick to somebody's brain
    11
  565.  @sergeypopov8279  This isn't about resurrecting anyone, stop derailing... russia invaded a sovereign country that was trying to mind its own business - that country asked for help, and naturally asked the countries most likely to provide that help. Those countries have screwed up a lot in the past - let's hope that's firmly in the past now - they are now, for once, doing the right thing. That's it.
    11
  566. Assuming the online translator didn't let me down here... it's obvious to anyone who's prepared to see it that these people are saying what they think. Ukraine is not the rf.
    11
  567. Even if isolated cases of this have happened, or happen in future, as long as Ukraine keeps on top of it it won't be any different from any other country - sadly, weapons are trafficked all over the world.
    11
  568. And you got that figure from which fever dream...?
    11
  569. This is already the second news report I watch about this... basically I know I'm going to watch every single video about it that appears in my feed 😁
    11
  570. No dystopian war movie will ever capture a fraction of the horror of what's been done to Mariupol. I'm full of admiration for this man and wish him and his loved ones the best, but as I listened I couldn't stop thinking about the people who are left in the occupied city to this day, especially the partisans who are actively resisting occupation in any way they can. Слава Героям України 💙💛
    11

  574. This comment section is absolutely infested in them, even with 3+ years of reading Z bot comments on YT, I must admit I'm impressed. Good video though.

  576. Wohnson is indeed a Janker ... (from someone who had him as mayor for 8 long years). I'm very impressed with your creative letter-swapping 😁
    10
  577. Well, that "green promise" hasn't aged well... This appeared on the BBC website just before 1pm on Friday 9th June: "Rachel Reeves waters down Labour £28bn green projects pledge" And how radical - let alone "green" - would it be to build on the green belt?? How about promising to restrict the building of luxury housing, invest in social housing and cap private rents? 🤬
    10
  578. Meanwhile, in Ukraine people are demanding that a general responsible for unacceptably high casualty rates is subjected to a criminal prosecution now that he's finally being demoted. It's not that Ukraine doesn't have its own problems - and plenty of soviet hangovers - but they are seen, and dealt with, in a completely different way.

  579. I'm so sorry that happened to you, it must have been awful. Thank you for sharing your experience to make a valid and important point.

    10
  581.  @lebed-lev  The russian federation has no right to any of Ukraine's territory. The only reason putin freaked out at the thought of Ukraine joining NATO and the EU is that he knew he wouldn't be able to invade it then, so it had to be done now. And we all know it. Your trolling isn't working, go look for another job.
    10
  582. Thank you for this touching video. I met up with my friend Nataliia in central London on Valentine's day - not all love is romantic, but all of it is love! - and we went to the National Gallery because it's free (we're both skint) and it was open late last Friday. We did talk about the war, about our troubles and the terrifying insanity of current politics, but also about the paintings, mutual friends, our favourite romantic movies, and anything else that came into our heads. Then Nataliia bought two pairs of oversized sunflower earrings (they were on sale in the gallery shop) and we put them on and took selfies, then went to the pub with huge matching earrings still on 😂 🥰 I'll never forget that I met lovely people just because they had to leave their homes under bombardment, and to this day their loved ones are among the thousands of peaceful, ordinary people risking their lives to keep me and my world safe. Ukrainians have my whole heart ❤🖤
    10
  583. This is horrendous but unsurprising. I'm sure many of these people would leave the rf, or would have never considered emigrating in the first place, if there were opportunities for them at home. Still, I'm glad to see some countries openly criminalising participation in the russian army - I don't know how much difference it will make on the ground, but it's a statement against putin and that's something.
    10
  584. ​ @sandycobra  That's a waste of whataboutism, mate, many Ukraine supporters have been shouting about those wars for decades - as we did at the time. But you go on and cling to that desperate line, that basically means "All empires matter".
    10
  585. A few days out of the news spotlight - something that understandably terrifies Ukrainians because they're frightened the world will forget them - may actually allow the UAF to work at their own pace, with progress not ending up on the world news stage before it's a solid win

  588. Thank you for this report. I first heard about Ukrainian New York from the wonderful writer Viktoria Amelina, who visited London last April about two months before she killed by russian shelling in Kramatorsk. She had family connections with this town and cared about it deeply, organising a literature festival for the young people of that area. I was lucky to meet her and still have to remind myself she's dead, because it doesn't feel real. That makes it even more heartbreaking to see the devastation of this place, and even more heartening to see the sense of belonging,identity and resistance in the remaining residents. New York will rise from the ashes and rubble, and I hope that one day there will be another arts festival and it will be dedicated to Viktoria. ❤🖤
    10
  589. I agree 💙💛

  590. I'm in shock. I've lived in south London for DECADES, and I didn't know about Superbob! My head really was up my ** in 2014. The full movie's on YT btw

  591. Not entirely hopeless, but nearly... And in places - you all know what I mean - more horrifying than most 1420 videos. I'm so impressed with the interviewer for keeping his cool after that speech about how cool it is to torture and kill, and for good money, too! 😬
    10
  592. When they did, there was a lot of noise from russian trolldom about how this was incontrovertible proof of them being nazis... when in reality, Edelweiss is not an uncommon name for mountain brigades (it's a mountain flower), and even the russian armed forces had a brigade of the same name until a few years ago.

  600. Well done though. I find it difficult to engage with people expressing pro-russian views, but I wish I could be better at it because it's important.
    10
  601.  @notyourbusiness-oj8kr  russians never committed enough resources to the Kharkiv offensive because they rushed it when they realised that US military aid was finally on its way. If this is a diversion, where are the impressive breakthroughs on other sections of the frontline? And finally, why do you watch Ukrainian channels if you support russia? I don't click on pro-russian videos let alone haunt their comment section quoting the undeniable facts of this war so far and reminding them that genocide is bad. But if genocide is your thing, well, there are plenty of dedicated channels to follow, off you trot.

  602.  @ShermanMark1  Kazakhstan getting there 😁

  603. Aha, so it's you dressing the President... as well as doing daily frontline reports to the world... you are an impressive man 😊 Massive respect to the UAF for being able to keep a cool head and successfully change their tactics in such horrific circumstances. 💙💛

  604. @JSrg8ix Thank goodness you guys are getting organised
    10
  605.  missbamacountry220  russians should be so lucky... but I really don't get the impression Ukrainians are interested in that, overall - they just want to leave in peace on their own land, and be free of russian interference foreverafter. And they will get that! 💙💛

  610.  @mikedon5205  Moreover, why would Ukraine surrender to a genocidal invader?
    10
  611. They may have been put under pressure by other NATO countries to deny it, because NATO clearly doesn't want to move on russia. I'm not saying it's a given, but it's neither impossible nor implausible

  612.  @davidmhale521  Are you actually on this planet, paying attention to what's happening? Lots of conservatives are endorsing Harris-Walz. Because they're sick of being represented by trump and his maga cult.

  613. That bit of the report really made me smile... when he started talking about it I thought "I look forward to hearing about this being destroyed in the coming days..." but then it turned out it's already been "toasted" as Operator Starsky always says. Of course you attracted the inevitable soft troll attempt to sow doubt in these reports...I can't be bothered to reply to that directly, annd all I have to say is: there's no "either or" in this situation. russia had lots of gear at the start of the invasion - nearly 1000 days ago - and they have no regard for human life, so they still have lots of men to burn through. Ukraine's allies have been shamefully slow and Ukraine has fewer people. So here we are.
    10
  614.  @mayomonkey3810  You no victim support in the US? In the UK, it may be far from a perfect system, but we have it. Then again we also have paid sick leave and free healthcare.

  624. He publishes an overview for members every Sunday. Meanwhile, there's so much happening here that I understand how his weekly videos all end up being about Kursk atm. There are plenty of Ukrainian sources talking about Pokrovsk - Motolife UA for example, he vlogs directly from that section of the frontline, great guy to listen to

  626. I have just emailed Times Radio to complain about this appallingly unprofessional headline (they didn't even spell "Ukraine" properly). I'm not in the habit of copying and pasting my comments all over the place but I will on this occasion repost under other comments that are similarly critical of the headline, in the hope that others will also email them to complain. Advance apologies for "spamming"
    10
  627. Here we go again, there's always at keast one of these comments. Become a member of the channel if you want to watch his weekly overview. Meanwhile, considering how eventful this offensive is, it's obvious that he'll be making videos about each development.

  629. Thank you, I understand this whole thing so much better now. The common line thrown at Ukraine supporters by pro-russian trolls is "Did you even know Ukraine existed before Feb 2022?" - I'm one of the people who knew quite a bit about Ukraine (still a fraction of what I know now) but absolutely nothing about Kaliningrad and its significance. You made the perfect video for me.

  633.  @kelperdude  It was democracy when his own people made him take the feedback he needed to hear. He was running for office, it's kind of important. Those people put the country over their own loyalties. I'm grateful to them and I'm not even a US citizen.
    10
  634. What about whataboutery? Everyone should take responsibility for themselves, that applies to entities as well as individuals. Nevermind what others do or used to do - they can deal with that. For a country like the UK, constantly lecturing the rest of the world - with or without bombs - about "values" that is particularly important. Ditto for a newspaper like The Guardian.
    10
  635.  @duartesimoes508  putin may well think they're harmless, but putin also thought Ukraine would cave in and the rest of the world would watch and maybe squirm a little bit, and then it would be business as usual

  636. The Cyrillic alphabet was invented by Bulgarians, and was adopted by the russian language as it was by most other Slavic languages.
    10
  637.  @yandex9188  Ukrainian and Polish speakers also understand each other pretty well... As an Italian speaker I can pick up a lot of what Spanish speakers say, but Italian and Spanish are undeniably different languages. Ukrainians tend to be fluent in russian because it's a language they have learned, while russians aren't as fluent in Ukrainian as Ukrainians are in russian, unless they've made the effort to learn the language.

  639. I've learning Ukrainian since April 2022 and this man is giving me language goals! He's from the north of England, I wonder if that helps him with pronunciation. I'm a Londoner but I also speak Italian, and if I didn't have Italian I know that I'd find Ukrainian a lot harder to learn... In any case, I have to study more grammar 😂 💙💛💙💛

  640. Thank you, even your main topic is something I've already read / heard about in the news, I always understand it better when you explain it. I really hope tonight passes without horrors and you - and all Ukrainians - are able to see off this painful year and have a good start to the next one! 💙💛

  642.  @Krispy1011  Oh, I did google... and found a video about Biden going into the plane to thank the crew - who clearly would have still been in there, because they hadn't come out, and the plane didn't fly itself. Which sounds a lot like what he would do, without telling his team first, and confusing them as a result. Only a troll would respond to a genuine inquiry the way you did: when I reference another video or piece of news in a comment I always try to give people a way to find it, or explain why if I can't. Thanks for confirming what you are, for anyone who will come across this thread in future 🙂

  645. ❤ Please don't stop talking about Ukraine at home, even if just in person with people you know - that kind of conversation can make a big difference in changing public opinion. It makes me so angry to see russia manipulating African countries, playing on their painful history of colonialism by the West, and exploiting people's extreme poverty to use African men as self-propelling meat for their assaults on Ukrainians 🤬

  650.  @JaroslavBrabec-iz5eb  Interestingly, 300 years is also the approximate amount of time that Ukraine spent under russian occupation. Any attempt to try to pass off Ukraine as an expansionist, colonial state are simply laughable

  656.  @Chadevereux  Same! I'm a non-Brit living in the UK and I've had a huge crush on this woman for 4 years... you know the way you can have a crush on a great teacher when you're a kid? That. I hope that once she's done with her MA she'll go on to do more great things. This is one person I want to see in US politics when she's in her 80s.

  658. So her father's been at war since she was a young child... I keep reminding people that the war, for Ukrainians, started over 10 years ago. Please pass on my thanks to this man and any other defenders you know: I am one of many who will not let our society forget about the Ukrainian struggle. I'm just on my way back from a large demonstration in London, we were protesting against the pogroms we've had on our streets in the past 10 days, and there were a few of us with a Ukrainian flag and badges.

  665.  @fabb5  The Ukrainian counteroffensive was slowed down by lack of necessary hardware at a crucial time. And if your great country's achievement is to take over a city that you've completely destroyed just for the hell of it, your country's not that great

  667. ​ @bikkiikun I have a strong feeling this happy carnivore is a soft russian troll... I'm not criticising you for engaging with the initial comments, because they are well worded, but anyone who brings up "the liberation of the Donbas" as a viable motivation if this war can only be working for the Kremlin, whether or not they're paid for it.
    9
  668.  @Robert-xy4xi  Of all the trolls describing the Ukrainian government as "ultra right wing" I still haven't come across a single one with a decent explanation of what makes them "ultra right wing". Unless you mean wanting genocidal invaders out of their land and demanding that the national language is spoken in the country
    9
  669.  @zachemny  because one of them may well be a future president of whatever the rf is about to turn into...? Seriously, imagine how much fun it would be if in 25 years' time everyone could see them embarass themselves on an old 1420 video

  672. I can't think of any friendly fire incidents on the Ukrainian side - and following Ukrainian sources, I've noticed they can be very... vocal about mistakes and wrongdoing by their own military and government. Recently I watched an interview with a drone operator who is currently recovering from an injury, she was saying that even when under fire, the thing that stresses her out the most is the possibility of hitting her own people. I think it just boils down to awareness, good training, regard for human life... and being sober on the job. 💙💛

  674.  @andreanagy4801  Literally every 1420 comment section now has a bunch of comments implying that Daniil is either "connected", in the FSB or bribing someone in power. That seems to be the strategy that's being employed to discredit the channel in its viewers' eyes, and I think it's important to do what you did here.

  678. Indeed, and that's opsec s so important. This counteroffensive has been conducted in the glare of international media and that's cost Ukraine a lot, including, tragically, defenders' lives. This is the mazing work they do when they have the resources they need and are left to get on with it! 💙💛

  679.  @TonkarzOfSolSystem  Nevermind Ukraine's "ability" to conquer Europe... Ukraine has never been an imperialist country nor has it ever given the slight indication that it would want to gain territory outside of its 1991 borders

  680.  @TheNewGreenIsBlue  Respect for writing something so coherent and comprehensive, even though you were replying to someone whose level of critical thinking must be as low as that of the people in the video!

  690.  @lorenzopippia5257  You really need to read about slavery before you use that word in relation to Italy and the US. And this is coming from someone who grew up there - I do think the US had a negative influence on Italian politics over the decades, though Italians also have themselves to blame for many of the things that keep going wrong there. Considering that Italy was allied with the nazis, which is why it "lost the war", we should be grateful it got away in one piece instead of getting split down the middle like Germany. Ending up as a vassal state of the soviet union and then the russian federation would have been immeasurably worse, and you know that as well as I do.

  693. Excellent point made in another Times Radio interview by Operator Starsky (youtuber and Ukrainian National Guard press officer): it was in fact Ukrainian troops that made the soviet army great and fearsome (as well as the imperial russian army before that).💙💛
    9
  694. And returned everyone from captivity, soldiers, civilians, CHILDREN
    9
  695.  @mr.e432  Nope, it's true. And very well expressed.
    9
  696. "‘When I see Russian athletes … I see every city destroyed,’ says Ukrainian high jumper Yaroslava Mahuchikh" - actual title of an actual article (from May this year) that, unlike the source of the claim in your comment, anyone can find on the internet right now. Besides, Ukrainians would be within their rights to openly criticize anyone making a public gesture of friendship towards someone from the country currently committing g*n*c*d* in Ukraine, unless that person had taken a personal risk to express support for Ukraine.
    9
  697.  @Sporxz  They mean an end to the Ukrainian nation. If Ukraine is forced to accept putin's terms, Ukraine will end as a sovereign nation.
    9
  698. Who knows. Maybe a russian saboteur. Every phenomenon has its outliers.
    9
  699. The Ukrainian people have my deepest respect and gratitude for preserving their language under these horrendous conditions. I've been learning Ukrainian for over two years now and it's an immense pleasure and privilege. There is so much content on Ukrainian YouTube, varied, important, enjoyable. I have literally started doing Pilates in Ukrainian, I follow cooking channels, a channel dedicated to the Great Meadow (flooded by the soviet union to make the Kakhovska reservoir, drained by putin's criminal armed forces last year, currently regrowing a forest and wildlife habitat that has surprised everyone), people who blog about history, language, cinema, culture as well as politics and war. Every time we watch their content (and if we can, make a donation), we are supporting the Ukrainian language and nation. 💙💛
    9
  700.  @ТаГр-я7щ  No no it's actual support. I don't have much respect for any of our politicians but they are clearly not telling Ukraine what to do - they're telling Ukraine that we're behind you, respect you, and want to live in a world that contains a free and sovereign Ukraine.
    9
  701. The UK already has lifted restrictions on the use of weapons donated to Ukraine - all restrictions, I believe
    9
  702. That's misinformation. Besides, Ukrainian sources are very open about how difficult things are in the east. But if RfU decided to report about that instead of this right now, half the people in this comment section would be screaming at him.
    9
  703. Watching in constant horror from the UK... as a peace-loving person I can't believe I'm putting this in writing but I sincerely hope you guys are getting organised.
    9
  704. Every now and then someone brings up the topic but you're right, maybe the word is only just beginning to enter the collective russian consciousness
    9
  705.  @igormarcos687  Quite. It should have been so easy for russia to gain the moral high ground over the USA and UK. russia has failed spectacularly. Btw, just because awful things happened doesn't mean that awful things should keep happening - for humanity as a whole, that would be the polar opposite of learning from one's mistakes.
    9
  706. Yup, now we know what NATO does when a NATO member other than the US gets hit 😒
    9
  707.  @kadovax6567  I'm not agreeing with the troll but would just like to point out that English very much is an imperial language, historically... just as Latin was, a long time ago. That's how these languages became international languages in their respective eras. The Irish language, for example, was almost completely wiped out by English imperialism over the course of a couple of centuries. However with regards to Ukraine, anglophone imperialism doesn't come into it because English is not being imposed on people the way russian has been over the centuries: it is a language that Ukrainians themselves want to learn so they can communicate with the parts of the world they're interested in communicating with.
    9
  708. That wouldn't surprise me. What I do know is that there are Korean speakers in Ukraine, the descendants of Koreans who moved to the soviet union. The head of one the regions is called Vitaliy Kim, and he speaks Korean fluently.
    9
  709.  @Тёмный_Механик  There's no need to destroy anything. Whatever infrastructure or heritage from soviet or even imperial times that is still useful can be kept as partial reparation for the decades of colonial oppression
    9
  710.  @CassaRoman  I'm sure you're a troll account. It's not just what you write... you joined on 7 Dec 2023
    9
  711. Actually, Zelensky clearly stated straight away that this doesn't mean that Crimea has been liberated. All channels that do merch encourage people to buy it and besides, why shouldn't be this highly competent person be rewarded for his hard and important work? Finally: you are a troll.
    9
  712. Thank you for the update! One of the reasons I loved this video is that I imagined you must have been happy making it ☺️ The AFU have my unending gratitude and respect. Whenever I hear anyone going about "the slow pace of the counteroffensive" I always set them straight. Слава захисникам України 💙💛
    9
  713. it's called "counterpropaganda", look it up
    9
  714. Well said, my friend. Take care, слава Україні!
    9
  715. You meant "oppressors" there, didn't you...? ☺
    9
  716. Also several POW interviews where the guy says he was told he'd be carrying boxes or injured comrades or whatever, then found himself on the zero line with a rusty rifle in his hands
    9
  717.  @terrencekane8203  ☺Btw how nice of the maga bot below to demonstrate what will happen to your country's average IQ if trump is re-elected 😐
    9
  718.  @mannimoneto3356  I was one of millions who took to the streets of London to protest the Afghanistan and Iraq wars at the beginning of this century... Tragically, we did not succeed. But no one shoved me into a police van simply for - loudly, repeatedly - expressing my opposition to that war (which was, incidentally, called "war" by everyone from the start). I've been doing the same recently, again with vast numbers of very loud people, to try and convince our hypocritical politicians to stop supporting Israel's genocide in Palestine. I know you can't understand this, but I find your delusional way of thinking absolutely horrifying.
    9
  719.  @Upnorthfishing44  Home-building will never be funded by your defence budget - not to mention that military aid to Ukraine has been and will continue to be good for your economy, because most of what they're getting is your old weapons, which you now don't have to pay to have destroyed, while you get to build new and better ones.
    9
  720.  @yandex9188  Anyone who believes that Ukrainian is a "dialect" of russian demonstrates, among other things, a complete lack of understanding of what a dialect is. I've only been learning Ukrainian for a year, but I work with languages and it's very clear to me that russian and Ukrainian are as different as Spanish and French, at least. Not that they need to be that different to be seen as two different languages: Spanish and Italian have more in common than Spanish and French, and they're also different languages
    9
  721. These videos are always brilliantly edited but that...was inspired...as was your comment!
    9
  722.  @РусланАксенов-л8й  You are clearly not in Europe, or you would have noticed that literally no one is burning coal
    9
  723. I see your point. Personally, I have enough sadness to go round, but I don't judge people who don't - Ukrainians in particular. A Ukrainian woman I was talking to recently said to me that she knows there are good people in russia, but she refuses to engage with the phrase "good russians" because she doesn't want to put the words "good" and "russian" together.
    8
  724. I reported that for misinformation. Though I wish YT had a "disinformation" button, because that's what that comment was.
    8
  725.  @askbeats-ye  Героям слава! ❤🖤

  726. It is also historically Ukranian land, stolen by russia over 100 years ago.
    8
  727. If they'd had what they've been asking for when they first started asking for it, they wouldn't even have lost this territory... and the war may be over by now, because they would have been able to recover the territories they lost in 2022-23. I am constantly amazed by the UAF but so, so angry at our stupid politicians 👿 💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
    8
  728. Please channel your disapproval into donations to Ukraine's drone funds... look up Prytula and Sternenko, both of them work round the clock to fundraise and supply every unit with the drones they need.
    8
  729.  @Blastadonn  Shut the hell up about being pro Ukraine if you're posting comments like this. What matters here is how badly russia was mangled trying to take it, and that Ukrainian troops managed to evacuate without mass casualties or captives and without the frontline collapsing, at the worst time of year for russia to make the most of this gain in the short term.
    8
  730.  @parkerbrown-nesbit1747  And how often are you going to buy books online? As a young adult living on the poverty line, I practically lived in my local library and read everything I could lay my hands on - a library is the only place where you can afford to "judge a book by its cover". I'm just sad that I had no good libraries where I grew up and had to move to London to realise how wonderful they are! Keeping the poor ignorant, uneducated, unhealthy and resentful is central to the maga project. Please, please, please don't let them win - it's not only about your country, sadly whoever wins your elections gets to shape the whole world.
    8
  731. Why? Because they're young or because many of them are women? They're already better trained and way more motivated than any "strapping young man" from the rf
    8
  732.  @dannythomson5239  You have just proven it with your ridiculous reply🤣
    8
  733.  @TrevorCrook-c1s  Do also comment on the intelligence of dying - and/or committing horrific crimes - for the sake of one ageing psychopath, which hundreds of thousands of russian men have been doing for over two years
    8
  734. I've just filed my tax return early!! Thank you Nish and Coco, I feel SEEN (at my best, rather than at my worst, which is unusual and awesome). ❤
    8
  735.  @joedellinger9437  😊 I grew up in a leftie Italian family in the 70s. My parents had the soundtrack of the 1971 movie on vinyl - the sleeve of the record had a picture of Sacco and Vanzetti and it's such a vivid memory... even as a very small child I used to listen to their records so I was either listening to that tragic soundtrack, or seeing those tragic guys as I flicked through the record collection. Overall it was quite a grim childhood, but it had its moments 😂 Thank you for asking! ❤🖤
    8
  736. The Freedom of russia Legion and russian Volunteer Corps - with any Wagnerites who care to join them - are fully intending to march on moscow as soon as they get the chance, they have said it very clearly on a number of occasions
    8
  737. @ It sounds like you're on the sofa yourself.
    8
  738.  @firmonkey8782  Many of those who wanted to remain in Ukraine had fled by then... I don't imagine the separatists "authorities" facilitated postal voting. And because of the way the "referendums" were held, no one will actually ever know how many people would have voted for what in normal circumstances. I support a united Ireland and an independent Scotland, but I would never, ever want those regions to achieve independence that way. What happened in the Donbas and Crimea is indefensible.
    8
  739. The only positive of this whole video for me today, is to have found something that makes me more angry and distressed than the Department of Work and Pensions 🤬 Thank you for your brave and brilliant work, 1420, please stay safe. Love and respect from the UK
    8
  740. The majority of Ukrainians really don't seem to resent Zelensky for not accepting that ride from Biden and abandoning the whole country to putin. How hard is it to accept that someone doesn't want you any more?
    8
  741. Another brilliant move is to wrap up this phase before Orban gets the chance to mess with it!
    8
  742.  @straightreject2947  As a European national who's lived in the UK most of her life, I thank you x 2 for this statement!

  743.  @MyDruidess  Hello again russian troll, I remember this account from extensive trolling under other pro-dem videos and obviously here you are

  744. "War-infected grain"...? Please sober up and remind yourself which country started this war
    8
  745. The Palestinian people have been treated like vermin on their own land for decades. I'm not remotely cheering what Hamas is doing now, but please think before writing stuff like this.
    8
  746. Kharkiv still standing
    8
  747. What's funny is that people like still think that trolling for the kremlin is a decent way to live
    8
  748. Angola too... A few months ago the BBC had a feature on Angola's deminers, who are mostly women, incidentally. Ukraine is coming up with innovations that could be a game changer for so many others
    8
  749. I had no idea this was possible... WHY are they only doing it now?!? 🤬
    8
  750. Especially considering these countries' shared history over the centuries... there's a lesson here on progressive political evolution, for whoever wants to learn it (obviously not russia)
    8
  751.  @PaulJWarburg  It's great that you know someone who could perhaps be a role model for your son as he grows up. Thank you for updating us, I'd been wondering about you and appreciate your videos whenever you're able to make them. Congratulations to you and your wife on the birth of your beautiful baby ❤
    8
  752.  @jakklump  Maybe he's trying to impress Tucker Carlson 🤣
    8
  753. ​@chuckscott-cy7iq and your point is...? You started out by saying the baby doesn't look like his dad, now apparently even if he does it probably isn't his son anyway, because of these other people you mention. It really does sound like this man is challenging your idea of masculinity and you need to comfort yourself with the thought that his partner must have been chatting on him and is making him raise another man's child. Just sayin
    8
  754. Easily, I'm a never-tweeter and I don't drive 😁

  755. I've been following this channel for at least a year and a half, I have never once heard anything from him that didn't check out with other, diverse sources.
    8
  756. Thank you as always for your work! I'm assuming it's not a good idea to ask about prig's plane crash at the moment. Please stay safe ❤
    8
  757. Goes to show that russians are fully capable of hitting military targets if they want to.... meaning they have intentionally been hitting civilian targets this whole time. And Zelensky doesn't need to beg, because he's very good at asking - besides, russia's doing half his job for him by horrifying the civilized world a little bit more every day. Слава Україні💙💛
    8
  758. I know the Tuareg don't have their own state yet, but they made a pretty cool move recently by offering Ukraine their wagner prisoners 😂
    8
  759. Wasn't she questioned on this at her nomination hearing? Or did people just assume she must know?
    8
  760.  @bajanka6854  Thank you. I've been educating myself about the Holodomor but knew nothing about this until I read your comment. Do you know if anyone has been putting pressure on the NYT to acknowledge this and formally apologise to the Ukranian people? Is there a campaign? Apologies for replying in English, my Ukrainian isn't that good yet. Massive respect and gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, from London, UK. You can and will win. 💙💛
    8
  761. Me too
    8
  762.  @doncarlodivargas5497  As Zelensky said earlier this year (apologies for the lack of precise source, so many videos so many speeches), russians should be happy about Ukraine joining NATO... because once Ukraine is in NATO, they will definitely never invade the rf 😂
    8
  763. She's a grown woman

  764. Hey 1420, thank you so much for your excellent and very important work. Your country should indeed be proud of having "such wonderful boys like you, strong and courageous" ☺ Take good care and never give up!🤍💙🤍
    8
  765. I so so hope those trees recover... I want Ukraine to get back its natural heritage as well as land, people, and peaceful skies. The ecological damage alone is horrifying 😓
    8
  766.  @damianeadie510  Or both gullible AND lying. Which seems to me an adequate description of many citizens of the russian federation at this time in history, as well as many of those all over the world who support or refuse to condemn putin's actions
    8
  767. I'm confused. Didn't they abduct those children, forcibly holding them for a year and a half while also holding their mother captive for some of that time?
    8
  768.  @SandmanAlpha24  We thank you anyway. Because Ukrainian resistance is protecting all of us (whether we understand it or not, and sadly many people around the world really don't get it). 💙💛
    8
  769. You mean what Finland was voluntarily doing until last year...?
    8
  770.  @ronniemead805  I think he bought it BECAUSE of that FBI visit... Not because he wanted his son to go out and murder people, but because daddy had to prove to himself and the world (and probably the wife he was separating from) that he was right about the way he was raising his child. Obviously this is my conjecture. A cold, sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
    8
  771. ​ @telebubba5527  😂 The russian whine video is literally a genre
    8
  772.  @zomaarwat33  The soviet union WAS a social experiment that went horribly wrong 🥺
    8
  773.  @peterbeninger7068  the russian federation is a write-off
    8
  774. I have just emailed Times Radio to complain about this appallingly unprofessional headline (they didn't even spell "Ukraine" properly). I'm not in the habit of copying and pasting my comments all over the place but I will on this occasion repost under other comments that are similarly critical of the headline, in the hope that others will also email them to complain. Advance apologies for "spamming"
    8
  775.  @theEstabIishment  Your country is indeed in a terrible state, as demonstrated by the fact that fox news is widely considered to be a news channel
    8
  776. Thank you to The Gaze for an interesting interview. 💙💛
    8
  777. Switching sides would mean joining the Freedom of russia Legion... I recently watched an interview with a russian woman (a successful, long-term resident of France) who decided to very publicly join FrL and tries to convince the so-called russian "opposition" that only armed struggle is worth anything at this point. She was asked by the Ukrainian interviewer what she's most afraid of, and it's not death: it's being captured. And yeah, I can see why that would be the case.
    8
  778. putin to stalin: "Help me, they're invading us, what do I do now?" Ghost of stalin to putin: "Well, you could do what I did in '43... Send in your best Ukrainian troops and ask the Americans for military aid" That was from the great blogger Ksenia Turkova, who did a live stream on the Ukrainian offensive in Kursk a couple of days ago. She's a russian journalist who works for Voice of America after working in Ukraine for years, 100% pro-Ukraine. She has a linguistics background so she usually focuses on the language of reporting and propaganda, memes and jokes doing the rounds on social media, etc. I highly recommend her channel - even her old videos and shorts would be worth watching now imo.
    8
  779. I hope so... it would be nice if putin & co didn't manage to elect your president again!
    8
  780. When we first heard that Zaluzhnyy would become the Ukrainian ambassador to the UK, after cheering because he was on his way to my city, I immediately thought that this move was intended to give him political experience and credentials, and create a gap between his military career, and a future political back home. He's loved by most Ukrainians, it doesn't surprise me at all that this channel still has his face on the thumbnail.
    8
  781. Errr... it seems to be happening in reality. Besides, my dreams go a lot further than the topic of this video
    8
  782. Italian Londoner here, I love this man's work! It's not just immensely funny, it's important. The special he filmed in Estonia is amazing. 💙
    8
  783.  @ButterfatFarms  Do learn to spell what I suspect is your first and perhaps even only language.
    8
  784.  @MilesKrepelka-k2c  I'm not in or from the US - I'm one of the billions who never got the chance to vote against what's happening there right now, even though it affects us all. And frankly, I don't care about trump himself - he's one of those people who will never suffer a fraction of the pain and damage they're causing. Losing states though, or even just the emergence or expansion of an independence movement in some states, would be a serious blow to the foundation of maga, and that's what needs to be weakened for the US to have a chance to get through the current zombie apocalypse.
    8
  785.  @briseboy  And my comment is about ITALY's ambiguous response to russian atrocity and war crimes. Which constitutes a large part of this video.
    8
  786.  @aaronday7537  Where are the lies in this video? Since you're accusing her of lying - and expecting us to believe you when you say that - the onus is on you to present credible, fact-checked evidence disproving each of those claims she makes in this video that, according to you, are lies. Or just admit that you're a troll.
    8
  787.  @XY-fx9yl  The Dems seem to have overwhelmingly chosen Kamala Harris.
    8
  788. John C Smith demonstrating his fundamental inability to read maps, which he shares with putin and everyone who supports him. Or maybe the problem lies in the concept of ownership: I imagine that if a masked gang of robbers ever breaks down John's front door and sets up in his house, maiming or murdering some of his family members and telling the survivors that the house has in fact always belonged to the robbers and the family living in it are not who they've always thought they were... I imagine that John will just make them a cup of tea and leave them to settle in.
    8
  789.  @PhilipPage-d4c  and not a minute too soon
    8
  790.  @mattyboy456  Brits then lost most of the territories they'd conquered. And will lose the rest in due course, hopefully starting with Northern Ireland. And for all the UK's faults and mistakes, past and present, they're not at present committing genocide to reconquer any of their former colonies.
    8
  791.  @mattyboy456  NO ONE has ever had that "right". And challenging russian denial and obfuscation about their nation's imperialist, genocidal past - and present - does not constitute a denial of other nation's historical wrongs. When I hear Brits, north Americans, or Italians play down their own imperial histories, I challenge them too, but that's not what the video we're commenting on is about. And NOTHING justifies genocide, EVER.
    8
  792. Unlike you, everyone else watching this video is paying attention to the content, and will find your question ridiculous
    8
  793.  @mazellovvvrofls1587  What does putin do that's "in the national interest"? Is committing genocide in Ukraine also in the national interest?
    8
  794.  @OceanCrest-099  Olena Zelenska is really active in that and has been for months. Also, some time ago there was a video specifically about psychological support for traumatised Ukrainians (possibly on this channel) and one of the doctors was mentioning exactly this kind of assumption - "most Ukrainians will be super traumatised for decades" - and saying that's not necessarily the case, because of the support available but also solidarity, both among Ukrainians and internationally. That's a reminder to all of us that being vocally supportive will really make a difference, both to individuals and to the post-war society they'll be part of. I don't think all this violence from returning wagners is due primarily to battlefield PTSD, either: the rf took the most volatile members of its society and literally weaponised the worst aspects of their character: the ones who make it back probably feel entitled to rob and rape and murder, or have lost all sense of what is appropriate human behaviour (as has the rf as a whole, by the look of it)
    8
  795. I think the swearing was mostly directed at the guys who watch that kind of channel... Zelenskiy's a smart guy, he know he has to come across as an alpha for people like that to listen. And if he managed to let off a bit of steam in the process, well, I'm sure it was good for him. I've learned a couple of swearwords from him recently that I'll never forget 😁
    8
  796.  @fivemonths-w2f We know what genocide means, we know what apartheid means - Israel has been committing both in Palestine for decades and the US has been complicit in this. Biden is just the latest in a long line of US presidents who had the chance to make a difference, and chose not to.
    8
  797.  @Pe-S  I really hope they sue.
    8
  798. They probably are investigating, that's why there are no more details in the press at the moment.
    8
  799.  @lewisduffy675  They're also largely incompetent, because he is surrounding himself with "yes men" due to his incapacity to take criticism and fact-checking.
    8
  800. And unlike Israel, Caribbean nations would NOT invest reparation funds in apartheid and genocide - surely that adds to the points in favour of (rich Brits and corporations) paying up
    8
  801.  @massey81  Nope. Zelenskyy's first name isn't Vladimir, it's Volodymyr. Same etimology, different name.
    8
  802. I put your whole comment through an online translator, bit by bit... and it was worth it 😊 Quite succinct, considering it spans a whole century. Thank you, take care 💙💛
    8
  803.  @imwelshjesus  He's a troll at the end of his troll shift 🤣
    8
  804. Ukraine's defenders are defending the world... this man died for me, too. My heart breaks for his family, friends and colleagues. Thank you, Ukraine, I don't know how I'll ever pay you back, but I will try and I am trying. Героям слава 💙💛
    8
  805.  @julybones3808  Why would anyone go to russia...? No one needs to go to north korea to know what's going on there, and the same goes for russia. There are plenty of sources, some personal, some official, some independent, all more or less saying the same thing. You need to accept that your gaslighting doesn't work on most of the world anymore.
    8
  806. Please please start pestering your representatives to bring this into the national conversation, make sure that trump and his people are questioned about it every day and the government puts appropriate measures in place to contain the danger
    8
  807. I wonder if it literally developed from the two of them sparring in the office 😁
    8
  808.  @dawnstanley1733  I can't find the original comment and have no idea what you're replying to here. However, as someone who's pretty involved in your politics from the outside (UK-based European migrant), I'll take this opportunity to remind all the US citizens in this thread that your elections are in fact a concern to everyone in the world... because they have the potential to affect everyone in the world. Believe me when I tell you that I'd LOVE not to care about your elections. Foreigners having strong opinions on your politics is what Americans get for having a huge amount of national wealth and power. And I do realise that many of you aren't aware of this and don't feel that wealth and power - because of how badly distributed it is. Still, in case anyone is wondering why so many of us outside the US are so heavily invested in your neverending, convoluted electoral process... that's why.
    8
  809.  @tshepangmoletsane1866  Here we go again with the elections - it is not possible for Ukraine to hold free and fair elections at the moment. Meanwhile, russia totally could, but won't - it's obvious to all, in and outside the rf, that putin will win
    8
  810.  @njsutorius  The "love and peace" sub-species of pro-putin trolldom is possibly the one that most turns my stomach. Being encouraged to peacefully witness genocide gives me "bad emotions"... and if I don't "tie my emotions" to what's going on in the world, what is the point of me even existing...? No peace without Ukraine's victory. Слава захисникам України. Україна назавжди!

I doubt anyone is free, anywhere, regardless of their lifestyle and the political system of the country where they live. And the measure to which people can affect what actions are taken by their government varies even in countries commonly seen as bastions of democracy. But without a democratic system firmly in place, there will be no freedom for the vast majority of the population.

  821.  @sacredbirdman  Thank you, I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else was thinking this. I would add that for this reason, we should never ever take democracy for granted, never think "we've cracked it now, let's sit back and let it do its thing" - democracy is us doing our thing, day in day out, and that is indeed about education, and also equality, human rights, and policies that see beyond immediate gain into the future of humanity.

I wonder if there's a way for consumers to research the provenance of individual products.
    7
  853. That's not about democracy - it's about expressing support for the country currently committing genocide in Ukraine. Of course it's illegal. And to be honest, any Ukrainian who supports russia should just pack up and move there - it's really not far, there's loads of space and they already speak the language, it would be the easiest relocation ever.
    7
  854. I disagree, I think it's very healthy for people to be so outspoken about this issue, which tends to thrive on silence. I grew up in Italy, my family still live there, and I hope that one day I'll see my native country tackle its own ingrained, widespread culture of corruption the way Ukraine is doing now
    7
  855. Let's get this straight: the collective west owes Ukraine, not the other way round. If they'd been taken seriously by our countries, the US, UK and Germany first and foremost, in 2014 or even last year (or, you know, ever) this war would not have started. And it is not "their war", but russia's genocidal war against Ukraine, which should be rightly paid for in large part with russian assets and hopefully will be. But anyone in the US or any other country currently contributing military aid to the Ukrainian war effort, who somehow thinks they're going to "own" Ukraine when this is over, should get that stupid, offensive idea out of their heads right now. Ukrainians are fighting the war our cowardly countries have been beefing up to fight for decades. Turns out we're only good at kicking ass when the other guy is a lot smaller than us.

  856. But also, RfU published a detailed overview on the Pokrovsk direction last Sunday, I saw the thumbnail - I don't follow him on Patreon, and clearly neither do the trolls 😑 Btw Motolife UA is a great channel for keeping track of that section of the front - lovely guy who is actually serving there, and repurposed his bikers channel for updates from the front, donations etc. Posts a detailed update every Friday, and also other videos. Decent English subs, though the some place names get translated in weird ways, so it helps if you understand enough Ukrainian to make them out. I'm really happy I found this channel.
    7
  857. You're right. And since I can't be bothered to reply directly to the troll below, I will just add that no one would be fighting "for Zelenskiy", just like the Ukrainians who are fighting now are not fighting for their president: they're fighting for their existence, as a country and as a nation.

  861. You may be interested in this well-informed comment I read under Madyar's original video: 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. I asked the person whether there is or ever has been a campaign to get the paper to formally acknowledge this and apologise to the Ukrainian people (they haven't replied yet). I sincerely hope that US supporters of Ukraine will complain to the NYT about the latest article, and when they do, it would be good if they also referenced their 1933 pieces about the Holodomor... I don't believe that shaming this publication will improve it, but if it stops them from publishing similar disgusting and damaging things in future, it will be something. And if they have to publicly row back on their latest statements about Ukraine, so much the better.

It wouldn't happen now, but in 2019 a bunch of Ukrainians really made a daft comedy about the conflict in the Donbas... but with tonight's news I've just realised that НАШІ КОТИКИ is in fact a documentary.

  953. At this point I honestly don't care who voted for who, and how sorry or embarassed so many of you are. Your current president, who was able to get back into that position thanks to the profound ineptitude of the institutions that you presumably support, is now not only pressuring Ukraine into capitulating to putin, but trying to blackmail Europe into giving up our support for Ukraine. Earlier today the news broke that he's considering moving US troops from Germany to Hungary - putin's ally - which means he's getting ready to invade Ukraine from the west, on his handler's behalf. So: 1 - the Ukrainian army needs a constant supply of drones. Look up Sternenko and Prytula, both working round the clock through their separate foundations (and sometimes jointly) to fundraise and keep all units supplied with what they need. 2 - Maidan 2013-14. If you know, you know. If not, look it up.

  954.  @ghost8596  It is a fact that putin has manufactured the 'Ukrainian civil war' specially to serve his imperialist genocidal purposes in Ukraine. And it is a fact that you are repeating it. And by repeating it, you are amplifying it.

  956. Dear UATV, thank you as always for the update. "False friend" alert: please note that in English, objects cannot be "arrested": unlike Ukrainian, the English language only uses this word when referring to people.

  958. Thank you. And I say that as someone who's not remotely a fan of Hamas - what's being done to Israeli civilians is horrific and will make things even worse for Palestinians, who have been suffering for decades, as you have summarised so well. However as a supporter of Ukraine I can see why most Ukrainians empathise with Israel right now, and I also understand their need to get Israel to understand the consequences of "keeping russia on side" (btw Sternenko released an excellent video about this today).

  964. I'm not in the habit of copying and pasting all over a comment section, but a reply I left to someone else just above also fits in this thread (probably because the whataboutism at the root of your comment is a fairly common response to this kind of discussion). So here it is: Corruption, like many other phenomena, is on a spectrum. It's perfectly possible to admit that you have corruption in the US - no one would be surprised by that - without saying that you have "just as much" as the rf. We most definitely have corruption in the UK, where I live (we also brand it differently), but there's no way it's as bad (i.e. widespread and entrenched) as in the country where I was born - Italy. Broad, shallow generalisations like the one you're making here simply play into the propaganda of regimes such as putin's, which are propped up almost entirely by corruption.

  971.  @TheFrewah  It was. But it didn't do much in terms of encouraging a critical mass of people to begin learning Ukrainian history, which I believe the original comment was about. Stalin was very good about silencing what little outcry there was about the Holodomor in other parts of the world. I've heard he had some help from the New York Times (!!!) but I haven't seen the articles so don't take my word for it

  975.  @АндрейЛарин-в6н  Thank you for demonstrating to the whole comment section what russian propaganda looks like in practice, and while it's ridiculous to even think that we could leave politics out of any discussion about language. Ukrainian, Belarusian and Polish are all different languages, which are much closer to each other than they are to russian, and all four languages are descended from a common ancestor. The Cyrillic script was first developed in modern-day Bulgaria specially for Slavic languages, that's why it's more economical than the Latin script for these languages. It was Catholicism that led to Poland adopting the Latin script - nothing to do with the supremacy of russian culture, which in fact took a lot longer to develop than the others (and as we can see, never got very far). Another interesting fact about modern russian is the high percentage of foreign loan words, which were then imposed on languages like Ukrainian over centuries of colonialism. russian isn't a particularly original language. I recommend people look into the work of the Kazakh author Olzhas Suleimenov, whose seminal book АЗ и Я (a play on words, which means Asia but also reads like "Asia and I") was censored in the soviet union for analysing, with linguistic evidecen, the possible Turkic origin of the Russian chronicle "The Tale of Igor's Campaign".

Ukraine now does have permission to use those weapons on rf territory but not too far from the international border, which leaves them from trying to get airfields with drones.
    6
  984. Imagine if they had everything they need at their disposal, with no stupid restrictions - this war would be over by now, and the rf would be forced to deal with its own problems instead of threatening the world.
    6
  985. @fen3311  "getting modern equipment shoved into their hands" is a pretty ridiculous way of saying that Ukraine is receiving military aid from its allies.

As for "dumb national pride", go and post the same on russian propaganda channels, since russian exceptionalism is at the root of this - and many other - wars.
    6
  992. Thank you 1420, even by your standards this is an excellent video! Those glimpses of the press and propaganda of the time are fascinating. One thing about the start of WW2 that I knew nothing about until I listened to Timothy Snyder's lectures on The Making Of Modern Ukraine is Hitler's aim in invading Poland was actually to colonise Ukraine, because of its extensive resources. Another thing I didn't know, but is apparently evident from primary sources, is that Hitler was so impressed with the Holodomor that he took it as an inspiration for the Holocaust 😨 I wonder what would happen if you asked a question about that, presenting the evidence at the same time. It probably couldn't be done safely, though, so I'll never know. The most important thing is that you guys stay safe and free and keep dodging the draft. ❤
    6
  993. While your comment is hardly "propaganda at its best", it is a pretty clear demonstration of the exact same political spin used by putin to "justify" his invasion of Ukraine. In reality, self-defense is not aggression. Taking reasonable precautions when someone near you is behaving aggressively is NOT a threat.

It's not our cities getting bombed to dust, not our young people coming back in boxes (unless they had made a free, informed decision to go and fight in Ukraine). Not to mention that some of these funds will come from frozen russian assets, once our various governments finish working out how to turn those into cash. And any future incarnation of the russian federation will have to pay for the rest, if they ever want a shot at being considered fully human again. Remember that if you're whining about financial support for Ukraine you're basically rootin for pootin

  1017. Thank you for the good points made really well. The thing the worries me is that NATO could learn all this and still not let Ukraine join... in that case the West would be exploiting them twice. Another thing that worries me is how long it will take for drones to be employed in terrorist attacks... the other day I was telling a Ukrainian friend about the nail bombings in London in 1999 (I missed the first two by minutes so I remember that time well) and then I found myself wondering what that guy could have done if drones had been as readily available then as they are now.

Some good points have been made in this thread so I won't repeat them... but if you're expecting Ukrainians to grovel to the US foreverafter you'll be sorely disappointed. This is not a wayward teenager who got into a scrape, that you're saving out of the goodness of your heart... this is a whole country, taking the brunt of the aggression that your country had spent the best part of a century preparing for. How about you try being grateful?

  1031. Both young people in this video are really impressive and doing such important work not only for their country now, but also for the world (sadly, many other parts of the world are heavily mined as a result of previous wars). I would just say that, as talented as the boy is, turning non-electric bikes into electric ones has become one of the major causes of domestic fires in the UK (probably in other countries, too, but here for sure) - the ones that spontaneously light on fire were usually converted, or are used with cheap battery packs that don't meet safety regulations. It would be horrendous if, in the middle of a war, this beautiful family suffered a home fire caused by something so basic.

The USA is up to its neck in problems it has created for itself since its inception, mostly by assuming it must be the best country in the world and therefore it - and its rulers - could do no wrong. The way a huge number of their inept, corrupt politicians are now using Ukraine as a political football makes my blood BOIL.

    6
  1043. I too grew up during the cold war, though I 've only recently started feeling the way you do about russia because of the horrors unleashed on Ukraine. But do you realise that many people across the world rightly feel the same way about the US? And the UK (where I live). Right now, as long as these and other countries support Ukraine, they are doing the right thing and it's down to all of us to ensure they carry on. russia needs to lose - it's by far the most hopeful outcome for all russians too. Levelling more cities may not help the world in the long term. One thing that would help the world would be worldwide recognition that imperialist aggression has taken place, in many forms, and that it needs to stop once for all with wealth accumulated as a result of it devoted to repairing as much of the damage as possible.

This, I must say, was a much more enjoyable update! And while I'm angry and worried beyond words that two years later this war is still going on, I would like to congratulate Ukraine on pulling off this amazing operation. Thank you all for protecting our sorry ungrateful arses, and thank you personally for all your work, and for making me smile and pull myself together when I just want to bang my head against the wall. 💙💛

I'm an Italian speaker myself, and even though English is my best language I could hear an echo of all that in the translation... having come across excerpts from fashion writing of the time, I'm pretty sure that's how text directed at women was supposed to sound like.

  1062. I'm far from a fan of communism but we can't objectively refer to Putin, his regime and its minions and supporters as "communist". And that's ok, there are plenty of other insults

  1065. Not all of them, at least.

  1066. Thank you for standing with Ukraine 💙💛 I hope that your decision to walk away from MAGA will not cause you to become alienated from your loved ones... I say that because - and feel free to disagree - I have come to see MAGA as a cult, and leaving a cult often leads to people becoming very isolated. Please don't despair if that happens... some in your family or social circle may feel inspired by your words and actions, and you will meet others who will cherish and respect you.

  1067. And let's not forget that the Red Army also had many Ukrainian fighters in it... while this one's finding out what it's like to have lost the Cossacks 😁

  1073. Dear channel, please PLEASE enable English or even Ukrainian subtitles for this video... I'm learning Ukrainian as my first Slavic language and only understand a few words of russian. My Ukrainian friends in London are so traumatised by the russian language that I could never ask one of them to help me understand a video, but this is important stuff, I really want to understand the full interview and recommend it to others. Thanks in advance ❤🖤
    6
  1074. So many trolls in this thread... sorry you had to get all this filth in your inbox. Ukraine can and will win - but I know that even victory can't erase all the damage the orcs have done 🥺 A big hug from London ❤🖤

  1076.  @gmw3083  I'm not cheering for genocide, so I think I'm doing OK. Best of luck for when the establishment that's feeding you goes belly up. Btw anyone bored enough to have read through this unfortunate thread, if you're still not sure that russia is committing genocide in Ukraine, just look up genocide - Wikipedia will do - and compare the basic points of the definition to what literally everybody knows about what russia's been doing in Ukraine for the past year. Obviously that was not for the troll I've been happily corresponding with, creating lots of traffic under this video so it gets recommended to more and more people💙💛
    6
  1077.  @yellowtunes2756  Typical troll comment (I also recognise you as a troll account from other threads). Maybe if the rf had respected Ukraine's borders in 2014 - as it previously promised it would - there would have been no need for those agreements...?
    6
  1078.  @yellowtunes2756  russians themselves have openly admitted it in the last year, Prigozhin included. Keep up.
    6
  1079.  @verbytskyi1  Thank you, that's really clear and useful. Though I find that closeness between languages goes beyond vocabulary - syntax, phonemes, intonation are also strong indicators. After listening to lots of spoken Ukrainian (mostly YT and radio) and a fair bit of russian over the past year, I'm starting to understand how different they sound. Perhaps strangely, I'm finding more common traits between Ukrainian and Italian than between Ukrainian and English... which is not a bad thing for me, since my Italian has been "squashed" by English for most of my life, and learning Ukrainian is reviving it a little bit. One more thing to thank Ukraine for! ❤ I haven't experienced anything like what you're going through right now but I know very well what it's like when something awful crashes into your life and sends all your dreams to splinters... Remember that as a Ukrainian speaker, you will do very well at Italian whenever you start learning - I have a Ukrainian cousin who speaks it beautifully even though he only started learning it when he was 11-12 years old. Бережіть себе, друже. Україна переможе💙💛

  1083.  @marchvertochko0056  No need to have lived there - as I said (do read the comments you reply to BEFORE you reply to them) it is something literally the whole world has known about the soviet union, for decades, and it's been confirmed again and again by many people who did live there, and lived to tell the tale

  1084.  @timbow614  Neither also an option 😁

  1085. Ukraine has been invaded. Zelensky is defending his people and the integrity of their territory. If you're so concerned about peace and development and prosperity go tell putin to pull his troops out of the whole of Ukraine.

  1093. ​ @avonellis7279 Evidently your need to vent your misogyny is so great that you can post such a comment under a video like this. Without your comment, it would never have occurred to me to compare male adult humans to their bear counterparts, but now I'm wondering about the incidence of rape, femicide and gender-based discrimination in the bear community.

  1094. Randy Rainbow did a lovely video about him, look it up if you haven't seen it 😁

  1095. Actually Ukrainians publicly criticise their authorities a lot. What has been criminalised, since the start of the full-scale invasion, is repeating rf propaganda such as russia is not the aggressor, Ukraine is not a country, etc etc. Which is understandable, since it's a just a step between that and collaborating with the aggressor country to undermine the sovereignty of the Ukrainian state. Btw, one of the things Ukrainians criticise their government for is not being tough enough on the few pro-russian individuals still in their midst. So, in short, nice try troll 😁
    6
  1096.  @kenster8270  Those are good comparisons but I must say I was pleasantly surprised by nearly 3/4 of the sample having at least some Belarusian - it means the language is salvageable. The Basque language was brought back from much worse
    6
  1097. I share the sentiment but remember that for many citizens of the rf, their infrastructure is in ruins anyway... And many of them - for all their undeniable faults - belong to extremely deprived populations, traumatised by a history of violent russian colonialism. I'm all for some of the skyscrapers of moscow "city" getting shorter
    6
  1098.  @derinden15  It's so funny to see how excited russians and their trolls are getting about a loss of equipment they hadn't completely, ridiculously made up 🤣 The truth is, equipment will sometimes be damaged, that's normal, and some of those vehicles have already been repaired. And while every single death of a Ukrainian defender is a tragedy, russians have been murdering Ukrainian soldiers and civilians for over a year, and that has only got them sanctioned, hated by much of the world, and close to civil war. Congrats.

  1103. Nevermind NATO... never bet against Ukraine! It's Ukraine's resistance in the face of annihilation - before NATO did much to help and was instead betting that Ukraine would fall within days - that triggered russia's undoing. We must never, ever forget that. 💙💛

  1104.  @СергейМонин-д7с  That's right... you only meant to massacre civilians
    6
  1105.  @telebubba5527  In theory, I completely agree with you, in practice... I look at Italy (where I was born) and then the UK (where I've lived most of my life) and sadly the UK, for all its huge, undeniable problems, is a much better country to live in. In theory, theory is the same as practice, in practice it is not.
    6
  1106.  @yellowtunes2756  Since you so desperately want people to "argue with your point", BJ was in no position to "order" the government of another country to do anything, it's not the 19th century anymore (a fact that seems to keep escaping putin and his trolls and supporters). It is simply natural to keep fighting off an aggressor once you know that help is coming. "We've got you, don't give up" is not an order - but maybe it sounds like one to people who only understand orders and threats.

  1109. My congratulations to the local community for acting so swiftly and decisively. Yet again, Ukrainians are an example to the world. I hope the soldier is recovering from this assault... I can't imagine the damage it will do to a person, to go home from the frontline and get beaten up, in church, by priests, for asking a question. Слава захисникам України💙💛
    6
  1110. I agree with you. I've just come back from a massive pro-Palestine demo in London, which I attended with a Ukraine badge very visible on my bag. But I fully understand that Ukraine can't afford to speak up against Israel, what with so many all over the world still waiting for the slightest sign that could be interpreted as antisemitism, as well as russia's undeniable collusion with Hamas. I'm just going to keep walking around London with both badges on me, and if that leads to difficult conversations, so be it. So far, I haven't heard a single Ukrainian voice calling for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and even in their extremely difficult circumstances, many Ukrainians appreciate the complexity of this situation. While it's understandable that in the days immediately following the attacks, Ukrainians would have empathised with Israelis, as news of the genocide keep coming back from Gaza I think that may be changing.
    6
  1111. I think that by the end of the war this man will have a lot of beers to collect all over the world... I'll get the next round, shall I? 🙂 Україна переможе 🇺🇦
    6
  1112. Negotiations with russia would just mean more war in a few years, both against Ukraine and other countries. That's why Ukrainians will not give up and will not engage with them. Other civilized countries are finally - if painfully slowly - realising this, and starting to listen to post -soviet countries that they've been patronising for decades. As for you, find yourself another job - your employer is about to go bust.

  1117.  @joshuaalistair3193  Do englighten us, how do you know who has and hasn't been living in this village and for how long... do you have russian sources by any chance? It has after all only just been liberated. We know for a fact that there are civilians still living in many badly damaged settlements all along the frontline and, presumably, in the occupied areas (for all the russian federation's efforst to deport them all). And if the UAF had a habit of "shipping" (!?) people to newly liberated areas, they would have done it with the derelict, deserted settlements they have liberated since the start of the counteroffensive. In short: the kremlin's trolls have landed in this comment section
    6
  1118. I'm not a Macron fan (nor do I live in France), so I'm not commenting on the pension reform situation at all... Just bear in mind that without military aid from Western countries, including France, Ukraine for all its valour will probably succumb to russia's aggression. And if russia wins this war, pensions will be the last of anyone's problems

  1122.  @akrenwinkle  If she can see that her uncle is a huge threat to the country and the world, it's understandable (though still commendable) that she would be doing her utmost to make sure he doesn't get another chance at that.
    6
  1123.  @inquisitive5418  Why shouldn't I tell others about what I do? When it comes to learning, and appreciating, Ukrainian, I tell everyone who'll listen. And considering that some people, you being one of them, have internalised a lot of hate against Ukraine and Ukrainian, it feels even more important to be open about how much I appreciate both. Since my words have elicited such a strong response from you - as yours have from me - I'll tell you that I'm a migrant, English is my childhood rather than my native language but has become my first language. I find Italian awkward to speak, though I translate from it for a living. There are many things I criticise about Italy, where I haven't lived for most of my life and would never go back to. So I understand feeling ambivalence or even animosity towards one's native country. But calling the language "worthless" and putting it on par with the language of the people trying to obliterate the whole nation is another thing altogether, and that is what you did and what I responded to.
    6
  1124.  @schokobar4133  And so what? The US did it so now we should all watch the rf do it, and keep quiet? I don't know about you, but I didn't keep quiet then, and I won't be quiet now.

  1135.  @classifiedveteran9879  I don't... I am horrified by the conscious dehumanising mission undertaken by russia. Not the same as 'sorry'

  1136. I agree with you - but if that's all that can be given for now, while the MAGA idiots are busy having their tantrums, it's a lot better than nothing. I'm worried about the morale if the Ukrainian people... to feel completely abandoned in such a situation would be crushing for many who are already worn down by trauma and hardship

  1139.  @Danny-lr1yg  I've just looked at the account, and I'm curious to know what about @thesoundsmith makes it look like a bot. Other than the fact that he's saying something you don't want to face up to.
    5
  1140. Well, it's a rather big room... I still don't understand why MSG let him have his rally there, don't they know he doesn't pay? Or is it all a ploy on their part to take him to court for non-payment, which would be a big deal because unlike most other venues he's stiffed, they're massive and internationally known?
    5
  1141. The guy who was sacked recently, the video shows his picture early on. He was warned this would happen, and didn't listen. Following Ukrainian sources, I've heard people talk about that guy for months - can't remember his name right now, though! - he is hated by almost everyone in or connected to the UAF, he doesn't care about preserving the soldiers' lives. I shudder to think how many will have died in this completely unnecessary breakthrough, and how many more will die trying to reverse it. But this idiot kept getting promoted. He was basically a soviet relic in the UAF, and Zelenskyy (and Zakuzhnyy, who would still have been in post when people starting complaining) really screwed up by not getting rud of him sooner 😓🤬🩵💛

  1145.  @yellowtunes2756  But the battlefield doesn't work like that - advancing armies don't move at the same pace right throughout an offensive or counteroffensive. Typically, once crucial supply lines are cut, a lot of territory is liberated at once.

    5
  1149. he was stupid enough to start it though
    5
  1150.  @ericcooper8173  That's because those are historical Ukrainian lands, stolen by the soviet union about a century ago. Ukrainians are a different nation, and the fact that some people have mixed heritage doesn't make the two nations "cousins" any more than Kamala Harris between half Indian, half Jamaican makes India and Jamaica "cousins".

  1152. To me, Mongolia's disappointing but unsurprising response is one more sign that the russian federation is a giant mafia cartel: that's just how people behave when the mafia don comes to town ("Yes, of course he's bad, but... you know... errr").

  1167. This war was initiated by putin and he and those who supported him are fully responsible for it and any of its consequences. Ukrainians had no need to be "pitted" against russians: they are an independent nation who want to live in their own sovereign country as they see fit - and the rf won't let them. It is about colonialism - but "the Anglo-Saxons" aren't the only people with a colonial history.
    5
  1168. The whole point of this video is that those celebrities didn't make such comments ... those were all fakes. For example, the post that's supposed to be from Oprah has the Ukranian First Lady's surname as "Zelenskaya", which is the transliteration of how that surname would be spelt by a russian speaker (Navalny's widow is Yulia Navalnaya - because she's russian - but Zelensky's wife is Olena Zelenska - because she is Ukrainian).

We can't wait to hear from you which of these the russian federation has NOT been systematically committing against Ukrainians.
    5
  1170.  @meso8848  It's your shift at the troll farm, isn't it? 🤣 Just as well there are plenty of reputable, evidence-based sources about the war in the Donbas, for anyone to read or watch, and this tired old rubbish about "the Kyiv regime bombing the Donbas for 8 years" doesn't work on anyone anymore. However, since you obviously need to put in the hours, maybe your could give us a little hypothetical description of what the moscow regime would do if some of the regions bordering Kazakhstan - which are incidentally historical Kazakh territory - violently declared independence from one day to the next, with military support from Kazakh special forces pretending to be just random guys from who knows where

  1171.  @Paul-wo3qh  And they're donating more of that to Ukraine every day
    5
  1172.  @XRP747E  Yes. I don't have the figures to hand but there was a massive Ukrainian presence in some gulags, for decades. I've heard Timothy Snyder talk about it, and in the spring of last year I was lucky to hear Dr Oksana Kis (from Lviv University, I think) talk about her book "Survival as Victory: Ukrainian Women in the Gulag". It was a brilliant, eye-opening talk and if I weren't so pathetically skint I would buy the book. I think there's a partial version online that gives you a good idea of the content.
    5
  1173. Thank you 1420, very interesting video even by your standards. Were you able to keep count of how many people refused to answer this time, as you did recently? I found that added very useful perspective on the content. A few other things: - "belongingness" is not an English word... just say "belonging", in the singular it means what that person was saying, while "belongings", plural only = "property". - I may have a crush on the woman with the green hair. Please let her know if you see her again 😊 - you seem to have gone into overdrive... it's understandable but please, please take care. You need to come out of this mess free and well. I really hope you have some escape routes worked out, but you seem pretty smart so you probably do. Love and respect from London.

Incidentally, that means that enough orc bases have been smoked by ZCY that we sometimes get them confused... 💙💛

The UAF are mostly working with weapons that you, through your taxes, would have to pay to have dismantled because they're old. Meanwhile, more weapons are being manufactured, which is actually boosting your economy.

Thank you to the channel for using the word "pogroms" in the title: I spontaneously used that word in conversation only yesterday and it seems the only way to describe what's happening in this country right now. However, I wish the report had included more information about the lies deliberately spread online about the person charged with those murders - who is neither a Muslim nor an immigrant. Thank you to anyone who visits this comment section and leaves a decent, sensible comment rather than the racist horrors I've been sifting through and replying to for the past hour. I would just like to let you all know that last Saturday I attended a huge pro-Palestine demonstration in central London, with a group of Ukraine supporters: we were very visible, with both Ukrainian and Palestinian flags, and had a lot of positive interest from the people there, many of whom were Muslims.

  1184.  @ЕкатеринаМаксимова-у5н  Deliberately misspelling "Ukraine" most definitely marks you out as a troll. Besides, predictions can't be "the truth", because they haven't happened yet.
    5
  1185.  @chuckscott-cy7iq  I couldn't stop thinking how alike they look
    5
  1186. As a "monitarial" supporter...?? 😆 You mean kremlin troll, right? The spelling is right on point. Btw this channel regularly reports on Ukrainian losses.
    5
  1187. Yes, I think Max found a bad translation... Also, yeast is "lievito di birra" in Italian. But castagnaccio doesn't need to rise, it's supposed to be a flat cake, that's how I've always had it.
    5
  1188.  @lostlogic6911  The thing is, they're not getting the actual money - yet. Rather, the considerable yearly interest on those frozen funds will be used to secure a loan of 50 bn per year (I hope I've got my figures straight), for Ukraine to use as they see fit. It's quite something but I want Ukraine to get russia's actual money, and not end up in any debt whatsoever over this war. The russian people won't even lose out - they never wanted that money anyway, they've always seemed quite happy for putin and his oligarch pals to buy mansions and fancy boats with it.
    5
  1189.  @СергейТурутин-ч6г  Also, many people seem used to living without indoor sanitation.
    5
  1190. He will hand Ukraine to putin on a plate... or at least he'll try to. Is that what you want?
    5
  1191. ​ @LordAlucard974 Thank you for demonstrating what happens when education gives way to whataboutism: those are not "the other sides of slavery" but former political entities that historically practised slavery. Teaching US children the very real role of slavery in the - quite recent - history of their country, along with its enduring consequences, is crucial to all those children growing into responsible citizens that will make their country a better place for all. It is a widely known fact that slavery has taken place in many forms all over the world throughout history and no one is trying to hide that fact - but the US, unlike the Barbary State and Ottoman Empire, still very much exists in the same form that once dehumanised, exploited and brutalised countless people on account of their race. Pretending it didn't quite happen, or is no big deal because hey, the Ottomans did it too, so how bad can it be? is both obscene and dangerous.
    5
  1192. Yes, they really are losing it. Unfortunately that probably makes them more, rather than less dangerous 🥺👿💙💛
    5
  1193.  @VividJayz  trump would be toxic waste as president... he was last time, and now he's worse and older and more toxic. "Unseasoned oatmeal" sounds lovely
    5
  1194. But they'll keep pretending that's not happening... When there are no men at all left in towns and villages, will they notice then?😩
    5
  1195.  @louisecorchevolle9241  Spare us the "back story" 🙄 Besides, all or some of that could be true and you could still be a troll. And why should anyone rely on the likes of you for "information about Ukraine", when we're all perfectly capable of following Ukrainian sources, and many of us personally know Ukrainians?
    5
  1196. 👏👏👏
    5
  1197. Дякую за цю красиву цитату, якої я не знала (вивчаю українську). І дякую, що опублікували його під цим відео! Бережіть себе. Україна назавжди💙💛
    5
  1198.  @TipicSect_ANTI  You have to understand that no matter how long and articulate your posts are, fewer and fewer people every day are buying russian propaganda, we can all see through it, even those who couldn't at first (or never really looked until 24.02.2022). But just for the sake of argument, imagine any of the border regions of the russian federation suddenly (and violently) declaring independence and the country on the other side of that border recognising it as an independent country, or annexing it into its own territory: would the rf just let that happen? Would you expect any country to let that happen? I doubt it. Then why should Ukraine put up with it?
    5
  1199. Has it occurred to you that this woman may be getting abused by the same man, who's had control over her for years? We've had more stories like that in the news than abandoned newborns being found in public places.
    5
  1200. The trolls all woke up for this one... (sigh). Слава захисникам України!🇺🇦
    5
  1201. Why did you never think trump would behave this way...?? It was so obvious all along. Though I blame Biden just as much: Ukraine would have 100% won this war by now if he hadn't deliberately dragged his feet for nearly three years, and trump may not have been elected if Biden had stuck to his original intention to only serve one term. And the whole world would be so much safer now.
    5
  1202. Thank you for another excellent update. If anything, your videos have improved since you decided to cut down your working hours. Endless respect, admiration and gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Never forget that you can and will win.
    5
  1203.  @jensnimike176  From what he was saying, it sounds like he doesn't want to... But since the family situation is probably all part of his cover story, of course he doesn't want to call them
    5
  1204. ​ @martynanstis1620 It's a troll account, I've seen it in most Ukraine-related comment sections for months 🙄😡
    5
  1205.  @SystemsMedicine  If memory serves, the very first thing trump said after the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine is that putin is a genius
    5
  1206.  @kaloustaphae  @yellowtunes2756 is clearly one of few botfarm employees who haven't been mobilized into the zombie army yet... s/he must be working overtime
    5
  1207. I subscribe to that. It's true that some Ukrainians are conscripted into the army, but Ukrainians are fighting for the continued existence of their country and nation, and as such, many volunteer. If they hadn't decided to resist in Feb 2022, the world would be even worse than it is right now. Слава героям України 💙💛
    5
  1208.  @veronicachapin8053  "Working class" does not equal "too stupid to see through BS"
    5
  1209.  @katyw.3520  Politicians are allowed to have families
    5
  1210.  @dixonpinfold2582  🤣 All i can say, for the last time, is to try being genuinely grateful to Ukrainians instead of sanctimoniously whining about the degrees of gratitude detectable in each of their comments. They really do not owe us. We owe them.
    5
  1211. Thanks for telling us that, sometimes I wonder if I really am floating in some sort of Euro-bubble... good to know I'm at least partly wrong about that
    5
  1212. Timothy Snyder has an interesting take on this, based of course on evidence like all his statements. He doesn't pretend that Ukrainian democracy is all done and dusted (in fact, true democracy never is, it's always a work in progress) - what he says is, that Ukraine is one of few if not the only country whose democracy has been progressing over the past decade, while in many "established" democracies, democracy itself has actually been regressing over the same period. This is a point that's not often made, probably because even Ukraine's allies don't like to put Ukraine on the same level as themselves to compare not so much their level of democracy, but the progression of their democracies.
    5
  1213. ​ @patrickkelly6691 Thank you!
    5
  1214.  @harrymcghee02  Should have started arming Ukraine and taking them seriously eight years ago when the nazis first invaded them, then none of this would have happened
    5
  1215. ​ @elchicano187 It doesn't have to go that way - though it probably will if most people assume your attitude.
    5
  1216. Watching this clip in London, the blood literally went cold in my veins.
    5
  1217.  @stevebrooks6275  ... and if he can't do that, he could just shut up instead. Either would work for me 😐
    5
  1218. Thanks! Stunning. Where's it from? I'd like to source the whole document
    5
  1219. First time I hear an interview with her and I'm really impressed
    5
  1220. The exact same troll in this thread tried the exact same trick in a different thread just above, and got put away by a fact-checking masterclass by a couple of very observant people 😁 Слава Україні 💙💛

  1221. «Крим – це Україна» – одна з перших речей, які я навчилася казати українською. І я це кажу щоразу, коли потрібно. ❤🖤

  1222. The "rebellious province" had me yelling inconherently at my screen... then I paused and started scrolling through the comment. I'm about to take a deep breath and go back into it. If the guys from 1420 can navigate all that poison in real life, surely I must be able to watch the video till the end!
    5
  1223. Contributions for the content someone makes is not "charity". Did you watch the video? She's never had any money from USAID for her YT channel - the thumbnail and title are just there to troll... err... people like you.
    5
  1224. Thank you for another excellent update. Whether or not it's good news, I always come away from your videos feeling better, just because I understand what's happening. I have a question: did you start using a computer-generated voice when you came from your break? I've noticed some comments about it under recent videos, not necessarily trolls, though of course trolls will jump at this kind of thing. I've been following you for nearly two years so obviously I recognise your voice, but I have noticed that the pronunciation of some place names isn't quite what it was until the end of last year. I personally have no problem with you using AI if it helps reduce your workload in any way, but it may be a good idea to be open about it so that no one can exploit it to erode people's trust in your work. Apologies if you did announce this and I somehow missed it. Endless respect and gratitude to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and everyone who supports them! You included 😊 🇺🇦
    5
  1225.  @danialhillmann5374  A good government solution to keep all citizens safe would be to pass appropriate gun control legislation.
    5
  1226. The only thing I would like to add to you excellent reply is that the UAF also has women, thousands of them, more than ever before in its history, both at the rear and at the front. Something the taliban is definitely missing out on
    5
  1227. She is not a communist, and she very clearly supports Ukraine
    5
  1228. Most Ukrainians are "mercenaries"...? You're getting your trolling scripts mixed up.
    5
  1229. Those are interesting questions, I've been watching these updates for long enough that I have also started wondering about the logistics of these actions. I do worry about our man teaching the rashist forces to fight, though... Btw is there a new troll on the block? @hansharz9934 not a familiar handle to me
    5
  1230.  @Илья-у1ю  And Afghanistan is known, for good reason, as the "graveyard of empires"... but they're not exactly living well off of that. Besides, didn't the Mongol Empire literally make muscovy?
    5
  1231. Except it's not just him. He's had nearly 25 years to surround himself with scumbags, who knows what the next one would do
    5
  1232. Is that a troll account haunting? I don't think I've seen the handle under Ukraine-related videos, I'm intrigued
    5
  1233. A few weeks ago there was an outrageously kremlin-like headline that people, including me, complained about, and they changed it - I actually emailed them, maybe we need to keep doing that even though it's time consuming
    5
  1234. This kind of video is the reason why I always trust your "good news updates": I know you tell the truth, whatever it is, and you tell it in a way that will make sense to me. Massive respect and gratitude! Your work is invaluable. Слава ЗСУ 💙💛
    5
  1235. Thank you, I really appreciate the detail 🙂
    5
  1236.  @ErntKga  kremlin trolls... they're so happy when they find each other in a comment thread 😑 Слава Україні 💙💛
    5
  1237.  @stevehangzo7159  I'm very grateful to you and others in this thread who took the time to write their observations in so much detail... I had no doubt about the video but it's good for all of us to see fact-checking in action. Слава Україні 💙💛
    5
  1238. I heard that too, not directly but on Sternenko's channel. There was however no mention of it on the BBC, not that I noticed and I do keep an eye... such a U-turn would have definitely been reported. Maybe there was miscommunication or a particularly effective bit of russian disinfo...? That would explain why Starmer reiterated. Where did you hear about this? I want to follow it up
    5
  1239.  @MrDerbyram59  I'm a stickler for spelling myself so I empathise with all these replies, however please remember that some people have dyslexia.
    5
  1240.  @alexanderuiimair1904  for "standard warmongering" maybe look at the rf - unless you count that as "exceptional warmongering". They are after all committing genocide even though the safety of their country was at 0 risk
    5
  1241.  @robertcampomizzi7988  so "the population has ballooned over time" and somehow you thought to type into your statement about war not being the same as genocide? When did you last look up "genocide"? The definition in the Wikipedia page will do. Look up "apartheid" too, while you're at it. You literally don't seem to know the meaning of these words. I am beyond impressed with all the people in this thread engaging with your increasingly horrifying comments. I can't type what I think of you because YouTube would deleted my comment. You make me want to 🤮
    5
  1242. I have a strong feeling that russia will soon start sending its own trolls to the front, because they'll have run out of cannon fodder
    5
  1243. Don't jeer at people expressing reasonable concerns for theirs and others' safety. And I don't mean this politician, who I detest. I've had a really bad experience in public toilets designed to be single-gender and then thoughtlessly turned into "gender-neutral", and I know other people who have. It depends on the design of the facility, and also its location in the building.
    5
  1244.  @benimgirma  Yes, you! Thanks for confirming what you are 🙂
    5
  1245. ❤
    5
  1246.  @scobie0  Hasn't Kharkiv been within firing range the whole time? Or am I misunderstanding the kind of artillery you're referring to? (that's possible, I'm far from an expert) Ukrainian bloggers like Sternenko (and also military bloggers) have been raising the poor state of some fortifications for some time. It does sound like that section of the border hadn't been mined. However I too trust RfU because I've heard him report Ukrainian mistakes with painful clarity at various points. Also, mainstream media does have a way of - not sure how to say this - almost listing to one side when there's a significant sudden development, so even the BBC is now in doomsday mode, and it's so important to keep as balanced a view as possible of what's happening on the ground.
    5
  1247. You do realise there are thousands of women fighting on the frontline, and many more in the Ukrainian army as a whole?
    5
  1248. @Iwasreportedyoudidntwin  🤮kremlinbot 🤮
    5
  1249.  @loyaltyrose1398  What an ignorant comment. In both senses of the word. It's not uncommon for British-Caribbean people like the couple in the video to have close relatives in the US, Florida in particular.
    5
  1250. Because they invaded a sovereign country that objectively posed no threat to them. And since in doing so they have caused untold damage and committed horrific war crimes, they will also have to pay reparations and send all war criminals still living at that point to be tried at The Hague. And yes, I know you're a troll. I just felt like typing that out
    5
  1251. I must admit I was surprised when I read about this yesterday... It's like Shmyhal kissed him, and he turned into a... slightly less poisonous toad
    5
  1252.  @winfieldjohnson125  For all I know, it was a regional or even a family name given to that dish! Besides, I've lived out of Italy most of my life, so if you go there and ask for a "mozzarella in carrozza" and no one understands, I apologise in advance 🤣
    5
  1253.  @toBe8ere  I made it - cashews and soya yogurt base, tapioca starch for stretchiness and agar agar to hold it together, turns out surprisingly like fresh mozzarella (I have fed it to omnivorous Italians, who did not complain), melts better in than on things, so it's perfect for this sort of thing. Any vegan cheese you can find will work, as long as it melts. Thanks for asking ☺
    5
  1254.  @ІгорХолодняк  Цю розмову я днями мала з українкою, в Лондоні. Вона сказала: «Моя перша мова – російська, рідна – українська»
    5
  1255.  @ffotograffydd  Thanks. I have heard about the Battle of Bamber Bridge but I'll look it up because I want to know more. The brilliant novelist Andrea Levi (sadly no longer with us) dramatised it, and the whole situation you describe, in her WW2 novel "Small Island" - which I highly recommend to anyone who hasn't read it yet.
    5
  1256. Did you watch the whole video? She's never been funded by USAID. The title and thumbnail are just her way of trolling the people who've been trolling her.
    5
  1257. Not on the territory of other countries
    5
  1258. ​ @meso8848  You know how the russian federation has borders...? Beyond those borders, there are other sovereign countries, and the RF doesn't get to tell them what monuments to have on their cities, or what language to speak in their schools
    5
  1259.  @anthonydelke3193  referring to his opponents as vermin is just one example - I currently don't have time for a full internet search of all the times he has paraphrased or straight-up quote hitler & co.
    5
  1260. Sternenko did a live stream on that earlier today... about 20 minutes long, the subtitles have come up so I'll watch it later. Title: ЗСУ йдуть углиб Курської області. Таємничий нacтyп на росію та його мета (The Armed Forces of Ukraine are going deep into the Kursk region. Mysterious attack on russia and its purpose) I highly recommend following that blog to anyone who doesn't already (though I am learning Ukrainian, so even when the videos only have autotranslate of auto-generated Ukrainian subs, I still understand enough).
    5
  1261. Actually that's not true - there were massive protests against each war. I was one of millions in the UK loudly and on occasions illegally protesting the Afghanistan and Iraq wars... tragically, we didn't succeed, but we tried, with no fear of life imprisonment or disappearance or anything nefarious like that. You can tell that by and large, these people are terrified of what the government could do to them: it's in their DNA.
    5
  1262. Thanks, Max ☺ I always enjoy your videos, so there's no way I would have skipped this one, but I must admit I was feeling a little bit queasy... I really appreciate that you started the video with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, that's not talked about half as much as it should, these days - but when you mentioned that many people in the soviet union were already starving before 1941, I wish you'd mentioned the Holodomor, when millions of Ukrainians were starved to death by targeted soviet policies. Having said that, this is a great series and I'm looking forward to the rest!
    5
  1263.  @birbluv9595  Thank you, I will! I really don't know enough about those years, even though I was alive and sentient at the time. I definitely need to study up! Especially since I'm starting to meet people from Baltic countries here in London, and I want to understand their history. Thanks again ☺
    5
  1264.  @anahata2009  I don't deny that it would have been better if Biden hadn't decided to run for a second term. But democratic voters really don't seem to mind, have you noticed how happy they are? And this seems to be an unusual year in many respects - at least, a candidate stepping down is something that's happened before, albeit a long time ago, while it's the first time a convicted criminal gets to run for the highest office in the land.
    5
  1265. In a video about Ukraine...? Does anyone talk about Ukraine in reports from Palestine??
    5
  1266.  @michaelmontgomery5326  While you will see the demise of the russian federation for real
    5
  1267.  @OxlShd  Lots of black people in Georgia, which is a key swing state he needs to win 😊 And he's basically trying to convince them that she's not really a black person, because he's scared they will all vote for her. With the things he said in that interview, he has practically ensure that they will all vote for her 😁
    5
  1268. A while ago I shared a YT series with a friend who was having a terrible time, she loved it and shared it with her mother, who's on the other side of the world and also in a bad situation... I surprised myself by being close to tears at the thought of having shared something that had made their lives and relationship a little bit better. It's a special thing to do, I'm glad you were able to do this with your mum before she passed away. Sending you a big hug ❤
    5
  1269. Why did the russian federation attack Ukraine in 2014?
    5
  1270. I honestly think that person must have read a historical novel... people did use to drink "small beer" (i.e. weak) for breakfast, and at any other meal, when you could catch cholera from water. But that was, you know, a while ago
    5
  1271. That person may be in the UAF, for all we know. They may be elderly, disabled, raising children on their own, or in an essential occupation. The automatic "why aren't you in the trenches?" is such a typical troll response to any Ukrainian comment that I didn't even have to translate it! (note that I'm learning Ukrainian, not russian) Слава захисникам України 💙💛
    5
  1272.  @N3therWolf  Am I the only one who doesn't understand WHY some people won't stop talking about this guy? And I really have tried.
    5
  1273. As a woman born three years after Minette Batters, your "geriartric crush" just had me 🤣 🤣🤣
    5
  1274.  @gmw3083  You clearly have NO idea how wrong you are about that... I am one of so so many who were supporting Ukraine before DC got on board. This is not about the US/NATO/whatever, it's about Ukraine. Freeing itself from russia.
    5
  1275. Also known as... supporters, voluntarily posting messages of support. Слава захисникам України. Смерть ворогам💙💛
    5
  1276.  @wild_reader  I have no interest whatsoever in visiting russia, but I really want to spend time in Ukraine. Plus, I like the sounds of Ukranian much more, as a language it just agrees with me. There's also the small detail of a genocidal dictator currently trying to massacre as many Ukranians as possible, in the name of "russian world" or something
    5
  1277.  @wild_reader  It's almost funny how peeved you are that I've decided to learn Ukranian... How would it be harder for me than learning one of the Baltic languages? Also, I never said I want to learn all "small, difficult" languages. I want a third language and I know what I am most motivated to learn. Though it has to be said, Ukrainian is far from "small"
    5
  1278. I know how feel 😂
    5
  1279. Thanks! Exactly the same as the Italian (and probably Spanish) "viva". As in... Viva l'Ucraina! 💙💛
    5
  1280. I get the impression they have bigger problems at the moment. Also, if you're going to deny anyone your "pity", make sure you can spell the word properly first.
    5
  1281.  @gurglejug627  "The UK government has just announced that hosts of fleeing men of fighting age hosted by UK families must be 'reported' by the host or they "might" face penalties" - can you post a source? I live in the UK and follow the news and have not heard anything about this
    5
  1282.  @oldbloke135  Really, no tides? How? Why? Apologies for gushing, this is kind of blowing my mind - I really had no idea. I'd kind of assumed that if the Thames is tidal, so must be the Dnipro, but if the sea it empties into isn't tidal, then presumably neither is the river...? I really need to get my around how this all works
    5
  1283.  @DawnDavidson  They could all be recalled from leave at 0 notice, like Wolf Blitzer 🤣
    5
  1284. I understand and even share the sentiment, but that would not actually help Ukraine
    5
  1285. No one is saying they're saints. We're just saying they're not Nazis. Because they aren't.
    5
  1286.  @chandnilafleur4022  So losing hundreds of thousands of their own men is all part of one "tactful" big game? Ok 🤣
    5
  1287. The trolls in this thread pointing out this channel's "Ukraine bias" are hysterical... There's no need to be, or pretend to be, neutral to give accurate and honest reports and competent, well-delivered analysis, which is what this man does. Tbh when people claim to be neutral - about genocide - I don't bother with them.
    5
  1288. Making those comments at a political rally wouldn't have been presidential anyway, even at an adult-only event... I still don't understand how it even came up!
    5
  1289. @WolfHeathen  And how is any of that relevant to her work and the topic of this video...?
    5
  1290. We just keep an eye on you kremlin trolls for that
    5
  1291. I really don't get the impression that the UAF command is shaping their strategy according to which settlements the "West" wants them to take or give up. Besides, the village is strategically significant. If you don't follow Reporting from Ukraine I highly recommend it: excellent analysis, honest reporting, the guy's taken one week off in 18 months only because he was too sick to speak! I almost always know what's going to be reported by the BBC on Ukraine because I follow him.
    5
  1292. Followed by...Crimea, Zaporizhzha, Melitopol, Mariupol... 💙💛 Thank you, Mr. Best War Reporter Ever, thank you ЗСУ, thank you Ukraine for fighting for all of us
    5
  1293.  @randallcline1176  Absolutely. Besides, Lee Miller's story and the work she did was largely forgotten, due to her being a woman and extremely traumatised when she returned, so it does need to be told.
    5
  1294.  @avonellis7279  🤣 it's not every day I come across someone this pathetic, thank you for the laugh 🤣
    5
  1295. I think the situation has changed slightly, in the sense that RfU has become a team of people, rather that one exhausted guy. While I am a bit sad about the AI voiceover, and I can see it has occasionally caused them credibility problems which were then fuelled by trolls, that allows the channel to maintain consistency without the same man having to voice every single video on top of everything else he does.
    5
  1296.  @pekkajarvinen69  That's not what I meant, sorry if I was unclear. I was referring to the point made in this thread about Ukraine "being in it for the money" - and it's obvious that Ukraine needs funding now, but we should remember that Ukrainians wanted to join the EU before it was at war. Anyway, no disagreement with your point at all, though I wonder whether it's not so much being at war, but having temporarily occupied territories that may interfere with accession to the EU

  1314. ​ @danidurity8701 Ukraine cannot hold elections until martial law is lifted - their constitution does not allow the dissolution of parliament under martial law, and without being able to dissolve parliament, there's no point in holding elections. Besides, due to the number of Ukrainians either at the front or in captivity, it would hardly be a free and fair election. Anyone concerned about the continuation of the election cycle should be pressuring putin to immediately cease all hostilities, withdraw all troops from Ukraine back to 1991 borders, and instantly return all prisoners and Ukrainians of all ages who've been abducted or deported to russian territory.

  1339. Max!! This was an emotional one for me... partly because you made me think a lot about my grandmothers - who were both young mums in central Italy at the time you're describing, working round the clock and dodging the nazis while trying to keep their kids and antifascist husbands alive ❤ - but also because, having family in Tuscany, I grew up eating castagnaccio. I can assure you that it's lovely*: I don't think this was a good recipe (though it was, I agree, exquisitely written) but you did make it in the wrong pan... it needs a sheet pan, it's supposed to be a flat cake, like an unleavened focaccia. The yeast really confused me: I have *never in all my years heard of such a thing, and my grandmother learned to make this from her mother who learned it from her mother etc etc. I doubt you'll find it for sale in Italy at this time of year - it's a pretty seasonal thing - but I hope you'll make it again and let us know what you think! This is what you need to do: 1. Eyeball the whole thing. 2. Don't use milk and definitely no eggs 😱 just water and olive oil - more oil than in this recipe, to a thick pouring consistency. 3. Pinch of salt. No sugar, you won't miss it. 4. Stir in pine nuts and either a handful of raisins or some finely chopped apple, to taste. 5. Pour into a generously oiled sheet pan (don't forget the corners, it will stick) and decorate the top with sprigs of fresh rosemary. 6. Bake until cracks appear on the surface. 7. Try to hold back until it's cool enough to handle! 8. Cut with scissors. A portable, comforting, energy-bar-type cake, crispy round the edges, that will make your whole house smell heavenly all day. Just like the lady who wrote the recipe, I have found some chestnut flour in the cupboard and I shall be making this soon! It doesn't keep forever though, it will go rancid if too old, so even if you fall in love with it as an ingredient, don't stockpile. By the way, here's a little tip from my grandmother (1911 - 2008): when she was little, children whose families were too poor to regularly buy or make sweet treats would pack a copper thimble full of chestnut flour, and set it in the embers until it was toasted and crunchy. I've never tried that, but if you have access to a wood burner or fireplace you could ☺ Thanks again for the beautiful episode, have a great trip!

  1341.  @Memovox  You disgust me. Ukraine gave up its nuclear deterrent on the promise it would be protected by western countries in case its borders were threatened, but when that happened, in 2014, Western countries carried on empowering a genocidal psychopath by doing business with him. Even since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Zelensky's had to go on a charm offensive for every little bit of what his army needs to fight the war our countries have been beefing up for decades for. Meanwhile, some of us are sitting back and commenting on how slowly the counteroffensive is going, like we're bored or something. Ukraine is fighting on behalf of all us, WE OWE THEM. Besides, they've always acknowledged the help they get from other countries - if they hadn't kept asking they wouldn't have even got what they got, while if they'd had it all last year, this war would be over by now. Wallace was way out of line with what he said at the summit, I'm glad he's on the way out but it won't happen soon enough. Слава Україні 💙💛

You're most probably a Z-troll, but I'm choosing to reply because it needs to be said that this problem is not limited to Ukraine - domestic violence is poorly dealt with by the police and judicial systems of most countries.

  1348. Ukraine did NOT start this war. This war was started by russia in 2014 and escalated by russia on 24th February 2022, and every day since then russia has chosen to continue this war instead of ending it, as it could in an instant by ceasing all hostilities, returning ALL captives, and withdrawing its troops back to 1991 borders. Ukraine is a sovereign country defending itself against unwarranted aggression.

You, meanwhile, are a troll

After he got back from being sick for a month he stopped voicing the videos himself. I'm learning Ukrainian, and one of the welcome side-effects of watching his updates every day was the tutorials on Ukrainian place names... early this year that changed, now those pronunciations are mess even though his voice, accent and cadence are reproduced pretty well. It makes me a bit sad but if he's found a way of sparing himself a bit of work, fair enough.

I didn't say anything about "taking credit / blame": I mentioned the role of instability in stock market fluctuations. A change of nominee at this stage, while not unprecedented, is quite rare, and has come at a time when so much else is going on, so that would temporarily destabilize the market. I imagine that once she is elected, if not sooner, things will begin to calm down.

  1361.  @NixUgriBugri  I wasn't implying that could never happen - it will start happening in the USA soon enough if enough people lose their minds later this year and either vote for trump or don't vote. It was a genuine question so thanks for answering with some facts. Hungary is definitely on course to becoming another Belarus, it's just not there yet and the difference is both measurable and important - so we should keep it in mind instead of making sweeping analogies like the one I was replying to.

  1370.  @556MSL  So because the US did something in 19C in a completely different situation, Ukraine should do it too? Besides, this is not a civil war.

I will never shut up about this issue, and I visibly support both Ukraine and Palestine, wearing both badges every day.

  1448.  @Alikss1989  Thank you. Italian here (based in the UK for most my life). The unification of Italy was completed in 1871, decades before the rise of fascism; and while Mussolini's regime was responsible for extensive modernization of the country, that's something that would happened under whoever was in charge around that time - it just happened to be him. The damage he and his supporters did far outweighs any of the positives. Also, to reply not to you but to another ignorant comment in this thread, there most definitely is a fascist movement on the rise in Italy. And it's on the side of putin (having in part been nurtured by him), so please don't underestimate it. Along those lines, be equally wary of white replacement theory - another theme in this thread, I think - which MAGA propagandists and trolls, themselves allied with putin, keep trying to infect other countries and cultures with. For over two years, I've had argument after argument with people who regurgitate the "all Ukrainians are nazis" line to justify their unwillingness to support putin. No matter how many disappointing, disagreeable or downright frightening things I hear from individual Ukrainians (admittedly not that many so far), I will continue to support Ukraine. But it's absolutely heartbreaking to see Ukrainians fall for right-wing rethoric. Слава Україні💙💛

  1449.  @Ollies2CentsWardill  Do you follow Ukrainian sources, by any chance? ☺ Your comment is basically a good summary of info I've been picking up over time from people like Sternenko and Sokolova. Also Motolife UA - a former biking channel now used for weekly reports from the eastern front by the channel owner, who is serving there. I'm not saying that to show off, but to point out the fundamental difference between Ukraine and any incarnation of russia: patriotic Ukrainians are openly critical of their own government and institutions when they need to be, they are not suppressed for it and woe betide anyone who tries to silence them as they keep up the fight to make their country better from the inside out. 💙💛

I'm impressed by his consistency, his honesty, and the rigorous research carried out by him and his team. I particularly like the fact that he's able to criticise Ukrainian individuals and institutions, when needed, without undermining the country at such a critical time. And he raises a ton of money for the army, which is something that can only be done by people with a high media profile - who tend to be "talking heads". Also, he speaks beautifully, and watching his videos daily is working wonders for my still very basic Ukrainian... I must be the only A1 Ukrainian learner in the UK who can say Наша русофобія недостатня and на так званій росії 😂 Слава Україні 💙💛 moscovia delenda est

  1459. I know very little about this but it's not news to me, so someone somewhere must be talking about it. Human rights abuses by China are discussed on a regular basis by western media and populations. The situation however is different because there is active warfare in Ukraine right now, so russia is doing this literally under everybody's noses, while I think with human rights abuses by China (wrongly) got less attention when they started to happen and then slowy dawned on many of us as the decades wore on. For some perspective, and ending back in Ukraine, millions of Ukrainians were deliberately starved to death, just about in living memory (the Holodomor took place 90 years ago, some of the survivors are still alive) and most of the world totally ignored it.

  1467. Reporting from Ukraine (with all its associate channels that basically revoice his videos in different languages) was nearly taken down twice by massive bot attacks this year.

  1473. You know, so many of us in the UK don't think much of our politicians, and we let them know at every opportunity. I'm so grateful to Ukrainians for electing a president who is raising the bar for politicians all over the world - I really hope he'll have a positive effect on our current and future leaders, he seems to be getting the best out of them at the moment. Boris Johnson, for example, was the mayor of my city for 8 long years before becoming Foreign Secretary and then Prime Minister, and I honestly wouldn't have imagined he had a shred of decency in him until a year ago... but Zelensky found it, and brought it out. Also, I don't know when we last had a senior politician in this country who could deliver speeches in multiple languages: I hope you're proud of him for that, too. Zelensky can express himself and command attention in his third (I think third) language, and that is SO impressive. Слава Україні💙💛

  1476.  @ItWasReallyNothing1408  Nobody needs a "mandate" to fight for self-preservation. It so happens, that while fighting for self-preservation Ukrainians are also defending the safety and core values of many other countries - and people in those countries (i.e. "us") are benefiting from that.

  1485.  @szbalazs2073  I'm very wary of anyone who's convinced themselves that their opinion is "common sense" - of course such a thing as common sense does exist, but the concept is often used to dismiss people who have in some way rattled our cage. Over the past few years I've realised that the main thing to know about the russian system is that it doesn't make sense - so it's not that implausible that while a child's drawing can lead to a man receiving a substantial custodial sentence and losing custody of his child to her estranged mother, a couple of smart young guys can fly under the radar as they walk around asking people questions. Another thing about a country like russia is that people have got used to sneaking around, in a way that many of us can hardly imagine, because of how free we are in comparison. I don't think I've ever seen one of the images Daniil shows interviewees actually appear on the screen, and he certainly doesn't share them online.

  1486.  @elenapizza3364  Thank you for identiying yourself as one of putin's disembodied mouths.

  1499.  @nebitno6955  Fair point - putin's trolls bring this up a lot but you don't seem to be a troll, I don't think you're using this argument to undermine support for Ukraine. Hence the tone and content of my reply. When NATO attacks other countries it is not automatically alright, many of us who support Ukraine are not unquestioning fans of NATO and did lose A LOT of sleep over the bombing of Afghanistan and Iraq (I lost my voice too, on a number of occasions, yelling at demonstrations, not that it did much good). Nor do we support the policy of our countries (I'm not American myself) in relation to the occupation of Palestine, for example. It's not about some people's lives mattering more than others. It's about "never again" (though to me that feels more like "NOT AGAIN...!" these days). The global support for Ukraine is objectively greater than for some of the other countries you mentioned but not because our media is "telling us to support Ukraine": there is simply more information out there, and Ukrainians, who have been living with an incubated version of this horror for years now, have had the time and means to develop their information front in a way that perhaps other countries had not. Besides, this situation is much more straightforward than some of the others you mentioned: the Ukrainian government is aligned with the vast majority of the people it governs and is not a dictatorship, they have been invaded by a colonial power that refuses to recognise their independence and sovereignty, and this war is an undeniable attempt at genocide - unlike the NATO campaigns against Afhanistan and Iraq, shameful and horrifying as they were. So it's easier for people to be sure who to support even if they're on the outside and not very familiar with the cultures and history in question. When I watch russian prisoner interviews on Lviv.Media and hear one of those guys say "This 'brotherly war' must be stopped" it makes me so angry... and not only because it's a way of treating Ukrainians as if they were basically russians: all wars are brotherly wars, we all suffer and bleed and grieve the same. That's also how I feel when I hear russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine described by western media as an "illegal war": a phrase I refuse to repeat, as I believe it is only used to protect the imaginary moral high ground over the wars in the Middle East. Millions if not billions of people support Ukraine, there are bound to be very different viewpoints (some people on YT have passionately objected when I've made similar points in other comments). But I know I'm far from the only person who thinks and feels this way. Happy to continue the conversation if done respectfully. Glory to Ukraine, death to all dictators! 🖤❤

  1500.  @nebitno6955  Thank you for a thoughtful reply, rare in these threads 🙂 I could tell from your original post you've had some really bad experiences, I am sorry about that. I disagree with a lot of what you wrote but that's OK, there are many different viewpoints on this situation. I make a conscious effort to see this war from a Ukrainian viewpoint, and that shows me countries (and entities like NATO and the EU) that have a bunch of different reasons for wanting to oppose russia, as well as the means to do it. And russia is trying to obliterate Ukraine as a nation, they have tried before, they have made it really clear, there is no question about it. So Ukraine is naturally trying to activate as much motivation as possible from all the countries and entities that make up what we have taken to calling 'the West'. It's self-preservation. Also, please look up the definition of genocide... russia is doing all those things in Ukraine right now, intentionally, deliberately. We all need to stop being coy about it. putin wants as few Ukrainians as possible on that territory, he wants the language, the culture, the nation gone. Some people have trouble seeing this - some people I know personally, even, mostly from the old protest movements - and I think it's because it interferes with the proxy war narrative they are committed to. If this were primarily a proxy war, for all the reasons you describe, it would have started back in 2014 - the conditions were perfect for it then. But no, all these governments carried on doing business with putin, our politicians were seduced by the obscene wealth and power of these disgusting guys, and it was so much easier to decide that Ukrainians must brought it upon themselves or whatever. I hope that most if not all of Ukraine's war debt will be repaid by russia, or what's left of it by the end of the war (I don't have an opinion on whether the rf should break up or not, but putin is doing a really good job of destroying his country). I really dislike to see western companies big and small salivate at the prospect of lucrative contracts - I got into a big YT comments fight about it only yesterday - but at least this time it's not their own governments reducing the country to rubble in the first place so they can make money rebuilding, as happened with the wars in the Middle East 😡 One more thing before I go: I really don't think Zelensky is a warmonger. I don't worship him at all - I try not to worship anyone and certainly not politicians - but he is the elected leader of a country under attack, and he is literally 'sticking to his guns' and doing everything he can to make sure that Ukraine gets out of this situation in one piece with a lasting prospect of peace, freedom and independence. Ukraine literally cannot lose this war: it can either win, or stop existing. Take care mate, I wish you the best ☺

Btw in Ukrainian that "d" - д - is quite soft because of its position, almost like a "g". In English, this word is traditionally transliterated as "Magyar", so no one got anything wrong 😊 (apart from putin, when he decided to invade Ukraine)

  1507. Do you follow Motolife UA? Lively bloke from Dnipro who repurposed his bikers channel when he joined up 2 and a half years ago, switched to Ukrainian and started giving regular reports from the section of the eastern front where he's been serving. Every time he has to say that motorbikes have been damaged in action he is visibly pained 🤣 Good channel too, the reports are very clear and there are also interesting unpacking videos. Decent English subs, but it helps if you can make out place names because they sometimes get translated automatically into weird words.

  1509. I'm Italian but have been living in the UK most of my life - I agree with you wholeheartedly and I'm finding Italian attitudes to Ukraine and this war very hard to stomach - especially those coming from my nearest and dearest... I've had a couple of nasty arguments with an old friend and one of my cousins, and I don't think I'll ever be able to repair those relationships. I think we need to keep stressing that supporting Ukraine is not about supporting NATO, it's about supporting the struggle for survival and self-determination against imperialism and genocide. This belief that all the evil in the world is ultimately down to NATO is ultimately just good old-fashioned Western narcissism: we really can't believe we're not the baddest baddies on the planet! How pathetic. Did you watch this video two years ago? "La cultura ucraina, part I: la musica". I've only just discovered it by looking up Yaryna Grusha Possamai, who recently translated Lesya Ukrainka's narrative poem "Forest Song" into Italian (I have the book coming in the post, so excited!). I didn't know about LiberiOltre, beautiful channel that I now intend to start exploring (it will also be good for my Italian, which Yaryna speaks SO much better than I do).They have many other interviews about Ukraine, and that makes me feel a tiny bit better about Italian attitudes to Ukraine.

  1513. What does this even mean? This is not a "neutral" channel, it's a Ukrainian channel - I wouldn't follow anyone claiming or trying to be neutral about genocide, and I'm not the only one here. If by "neutral" you mean clearly reporting on Ukrainian losses, that's something he always does. There's no difference between the quality and tone of this report and any of his previous ones.

  1522. @@peterhansen3722 Good point, and also, she hasn't been in a trench for weeks on end, because she's not in the infantry, she's protecting the infantry. And the UAF have mobile units where soldiers can shower while washing and drying their uniforms, I watched a video about that some time ago.
    4
  1523. Sadly, they are also learning.... especially when it.comes to drones. The rf started industrial production of drones before the Ukrainian government, which is only just catching up. The drones used so well by the UAF are bought by volunteers who are constantly fundraising. I follow Sternenko's blog and he rants about this daily!

  1524. Thanks, I want to try. It sounds "veganizable" and it looks really good in the video. About the "papers pepper", I remember an old grocery store in my mother's native village in Tuscany, still selling salt in twists of paper in the 70s... there used be an old marble counter with a salt well, and according to my relatives, it had been like that for decades. So maybe the pepper didn't come in sachets but in twisted up bits of paper, it does make sense in a world before industrially produced packaging. Btw, I don't think we're just food history lovers, we're also Max Miller lovers ☺

  1525. Have you seen footage of Ukrainian POWs returning to Ukraine? They are starved, ill, some of them had very serious injuries that were left untreated... russian POWs probably go back home in a better state than they were in when they left (but some of them still claim they were tortured in captivity) 🤬

  1526. When he was talking about the rest of the front, people were saying "Why aren't yiu tslking about the Kharkiv direction?!", now he is, and people are complainong about him talking about it too much... This was an important topic today, I learned something I definitely didn't know about. I knew about the strikes on Crimea.

  1527. Thank you Anna for the great video. Sadly, I've met quite a few people in my two countries (UK and Italy) who have fallen for soft russian propaganda to various extents. I'm learning to spot the ones who seem to be kind of floating in the middle of it all and throw them some bits of information that I think will make them want to learn more, and question what they've heard so far. I must admit I have also lost my sh*t a few times, which was probably counterproductive (unless it made think twice about spouting putin's propaganda ever again). p.s. I would love to know your opinion of the russian channel 1420 - I think the work they do is really important, but I haven't heard a Ukrainian's opinion about it yet. Бажаю вам здоров'я, миру і свободи! 💙💛

  1534.  @davidmhale521  Because he's a liar, the only way to find some sense in what he's saying is to read between the lines. Besides, he's a liar about facts (you know, those things that have already, and definitely, happened); but those ambiguous statements he drops in the middle of his word salad, that's where he's saying the things that he's intending to do, but can't quite afford to say straight out. And they need to be taken seriously. His undisguised admiration for dictators has been a red flag for a very long time. I'm not saying all that to you, btw, you're a maga troll and that's clear from every single thing you post. But other people read these threads.

  1543.  @timverrecchia1654  If kremlin trolls weren't so nasty, their desperation would be kind of entertaining to behold 😁 Isn't that interview amazing? The guy is so genuine and humble. I have a feeling I saw him in another video over a year ago, where a few medics were talking about evacuating the injured, and he said that he was working as a driver but because he's had some field medic training, he was often asked to evacuate wounded soldiers. His voice, face, and body language give me the feeling he's been very badly affected by everything he's witnessed and experienced, also his young child was injured early on... I really hope he gets some time off now to be with her and recuperate. 💙💛

I remember discussing this situtation in October or November last year, with a British woman in her 80s that I occasionally work with. "We are responsible," she said, and I'm really not paraphrasing. "That was not our land to give." I wish at least some of our politicians had the guts to say that out loud.

  1551. Just before all this blew up, literally the other day, the Ukrainian Secret Services (CBU) arrested one of the anticorruption agency investigators, who'd been bought by the russians. CBU had apparently pointed out to the agency on several occasions that they had serious concerns about this individual, but nothing was done internally and he was allowed to continue operating, so the secret services built up a solid case against him and eventually arrested him. I understand why it would seem a better idea to bring this agency into special measures, but it needs to be done in a way that doesn't give corrupt and/or prorussian MPs a get out of jail free card. This is a delicated thing that would be tricky for any country not currently under attack... Ukraine is making all these momentous changes in record time and under the most difficult of circumstances.

What you describe as "heavily promoted" LGBTQ rights is simply a counter-reaction to centuries of having to hide, having to "pass" as someone like you just to be allowed to stay alive. Visibility is important in countering the heavily inforced, deeply entrenched homophobia that makes people's lives hell all over the world

  1579. I thank the Ukrainian people every day, for their resistance - I am already benefiting from living in a world where they didn't cave in to rashist aggression. Our countries (writing from the UK) have been bulking up for decades to fight a war that another, smaller and poorer country has ended up fighting on behalf of the whole world: they shouldn't have to keep asking for our help. Ukrainians are grateful to everyone in every allied country and they're always making that very clear...but anyone expecting them to grovel foreverafter will be sorely disappointed, and I'm glad. Слава Україні 💙💛

  1588.  @hardtackbeans9790  Then it's not one of the accounts I've noticed so far... but I can't speak for his other post under this video, I can't find it. It really doesn't look like a troll account from his homepage, and he must have been replying to the russian drivel posted by @user-uw4vb3qp9d because he says "your reply", not "your comment". This probably doesn't warrant quite so much typing, since misunderstandings are pretty commong in comment sections - but if Ukraine's supporters start accusing each other of being kremlintrolls, the actual trolls are winning!

  1589.  @A.A1891  I actually believe that everyone should be free to safely practice their religion, whatever it is, as long as they don't interfere with the freedom of others to live in safety and dignity (others include women, LGBT, atheists etc). I'm an atheists who always speaks up against islamophobia when I hear it, and I've heard a lot of it over the years. Your religious spamming of this comment section is making me hate Islam. Stop. And I don't mean only on YT. Stop evangelising, it's disgusting and also, as has been rightly pointed out to you by other commenters, completely divorced from reality, since Islam is sadly bringing anything but peace to millions of people all over the world.

  1601.  @mercuriocavaldi2208  No one should be invading sovereign countries that do not pose a direct threat to them. That includes russia. No one should be destabilizing other countries and taking chunks of land from them, murdering or abducting the inhabitants. That includes russia. And the comments under this video tend to be about russia because the video is about russia. Maybe you should just stop looking for ways to derail the discussion whenever it focuses on the wrongs historically and currently committed by russia. Because regardless of how many other countries have done similar things, that doesn't take away one iota from what russia has done and is doing - russia is just as responsible for its own behaviour.

Nothing I've ever heard on this channel has ever turned out to be false or misleading, and I appreciate it because he gives facts and analysis rarely found in the mainstream.

And Ukraine rightly defending itself, which involves asking for help and support from those countries in a position to give it which would also, like pretty much the whole world, benefit from russia not achieving its revolting aims.

  1627. Because I support Ukraine, I don't feel entitled to tell them who their national heroes should and shouldn't be

  1628. Some of the crap you have to deal with is that you can listen to what those people have to say, and call it "crap"

  1629. He has very clearly reported on Ukrainian territorial losses - what alternative universe? Because he's not tearing his hair out saying that everything's over?
    4
  1630. It was racist rubbish from beginning to end... he's basically demonstrating his total lack of respect and comprehension of the fact that some people are mixed-race, they have dual heritage and will connect with people who belong to either heritage

  1631. You are posting this comment because putin told you to

  1632.  @duck-m1d4r  Not everything that's not our point of view is propaganda. Propaganda is propaganda. And russian propaganda is russian propaganda, which is what @KsenaTs was rightly calling out.

  1633.  @avonellis7279  Anyone who will self-righteously resort to language like "feminist hot words", while lamenting women's failure to remain subordinate to men, deserves nothing but ridicule and contempt.

  1637. It does kind of worry me how maybe it's not so easy to turn all these luxury propoerties back into cash that can be poured into Ukraine when Ukraine needs it (i.e. from right now to the next couple of decades of recovery and reconstruction). But maybe these yachts can be repurposed into floating boutique hotels? There must be people around willing to pay for the "oligarch experience"...

  1638.  @gazza1858  It was a comment. An ignorant comment. Just like @AndrewMclachlan-hq4jp left an intentionally racist comment.

  1639. I watched the trailer of Lee, Kate Winslet's film about WW2 photojournalist Lee Miller, and found myself wondering if anyone will have their picture taken in putin's bath... and when.

  1640. Ukraine is being bombed by russia with long-range weapons containing essential components made in various Western countries... while the UAF is still not allowed by its Western allies to use Western long-range weapons on relevant targets in russia. This is ridiculous and disgusting and it has to change.

  1648. Most of the population is still there, and some are even returning from abroad, so... maybe not...? And life in the rf becomes untenable - it's only a matter of time - they'll all have to stay there because no one will have them by then.
    4
  1649.  @Grzegorz_Grabowski  The fact that Poland has an undeniably positive attitude towards Ukraine NOW doesn't erase the past - it simply shows that it's possible for countries to evolve from their shared past, which is a good thing and as much a credit to Ukraine as it is to Poland. It is also obvious that it makes sense for Poland to be supporting Ukraine in the current crisis, because who would want russia on their doorstep? Thanks for confirming what I thought when I read your previous comments. Your attitude towards Ukraine is as superior and patronising as can be expected of anyone in denial of their own country's colonial history - and I'm speaking as someone based in the UK, where this attitude can be observed a lot.

    4
  1652. Thank you, same (though I just about managed to avoid arrest).
    4
  1653.  @michakrynicki7299  Then they need to think about how to get their message across - whatever it is - without de facto supporting the rf, which is undeniably what they've been doing
    4
  1654.  @uostap1  I 100% agree with you
    4
  1655.  @michakrynicki7299  That shows a dire lack of critical thinking on their part (sadly a common malady). Their jobs and lives, like everybody else's, don't exist in isolation from the state of the world in general, let alone the same continent. If the rf so far as manages to freeze the conflict in Ukraine, they'll turn their aggression on other countries - it's a matter of when, not if. So, as I said above, these people need to find a way of making their point without doing anything that directly or indirectly benefits the rf in this conflict: and everything that hurts Ukraine right now does benefit the rf.

Btw people in YT comment sections can read, so it's really easy for us to find out whose culture has been around longer, and there's plenty of evidence from many different sources. Do better, bot.
    4
  1660.  @max_out_your_cc  There's still a lot of affection and loyalty for Zaluzhnyy in Ukraine, and understandably so, but It's mostly a matter of branding for RfU, I think - his face became the "face of the channel" early on, just like the narrator's voice is the "voice of the channel", so that when RfU expanded to a whole team, they switched to an AI narrator set to his voice (which is why, sadly, the pronunciation of place names and other Ukrainian words became inconstistent earlier this year). I too think you're trolling, btw, but when trolls give me the chance to make a point that needs making, I reply to them. Україна назавжди💙💛

  1662. Everyone has that power. Ukrainians did it in 2013/14 without a "second amendment" - they were just brave enough and angry enough to stand their ground when their government put snipers in the tall buildings overlooking the Maidan.
    4
  1663. How would the law they're protesting against equate with peace? The rf has had that law for over 10 years now... not exactly a peaceful country, is it?
    4
  1664.  @alexpoetov3213  it would only be a coup if led by someone who gains power as a result. If Trudeau is overthrown by a popular uprising, and the country subsequently elects a new head of state like Ukraine did in 2014, that would not be defined as a coup. But Canadians have no need to physically overthrow Trudeau - they just need to come up with credible opponents who have a chance to win the next election

  1667. An autocrat...? You mean a president actually doing his job by standing for the country that elected him?
    4
  1668.  @leviefrauim1425  Excuse me, who...? How about using people's actual names instead of dropping these ambiguous semi-trolling comments? Zelensky's been doing his job. Democratic rule can't be the same in wartime as it is in peacetime - that doesn't make him an autocrat. You know very well that Ukraine would be having presidential elections around now if russia hadn't invaded two years ago.

  1671.  @Tom-xn8nn  Did you watch the video? They're literally telling us in detail about the consequences of this rumour
    4
  1672. Ukrainians want russians completely out of their country and support Zelensky's decisions in huge numbers - his popularity among his people has actually gone up since the start of the full-scale invasion. I'm not telling you, you're a putin troll and I've seen your puke-inducing comments in many other threads... I'm telling anyone who may read your comment and give it a second's thought. As for your hypocritical 'glory to humanity': precisely for the sake of humanity, no country should be able to get away with what russia has been doing to Ukraine. 💙 💛
    4
  1673. Thank you. My sense of direction is generally so poor that when I heard that I convinced myself I had east and west mixed up - the report was so nerve-wracking that I let it go, but it made my head spin for a couple of seconds! It also brought back a ridiculous memory from my 1970s childhood, when I couldn't understand why the Soviet Union, which as I kept hearing from the adults around me was politically on the left, actually appeared to my right on the map of Europe... I'm cringeing as I type this but I was about seven

  1676. In 1991, the people of Crimea voted to remain in Ukraine - in a free and fair referendum that was in no way militarised - by a larger margin than the UK voted to leave the EU in 2016.
    4
  1677.  @Grant_S_M  We need to be clear about the difference between judaism and zionism. And then finally put that clarity of thought into concrete action and stop supporting the fascist state of Israel. Hamas' rise to power is the inevitable consequence of decades of apartheid.

  1683. Daniil Oran's new channel (he used to do russian street interviews on 1420) recently had a video about... electric scooters being sent to the russian army fighting in Ukraine.
    4
  1684.  @jlo7770  He no longer vlogs every day, so he will occasionally report on something that happened a day or two before, especially considering opsec requirements. And there's really no indications that the russians "stomped" anyone, so maybe check your sources? Or stop trolling, if that's what you're doing.
    4
  1685.  @jlo7770  He does what? Vlog every day? He stopped doing that end of last year, maybe early this year. Thanks for demonstrating that you only click on these videos to troll the comment section.

  1690.  @Papagulag  KharKIV. I know and know of lots of Ukrainians who've been switching to Ukrainian - since 2014 and even more so since last year. russian was violently imposed on many Ukrainians over centuries, and Stalin picked up where the muscovite empire left off, by rounding up and slaughtering hundreds of Ukrainian writers, artists and intellectuals in the 1930s. Kharkiv was once the heart of Ukrainian language and culture. These are facts. Another fact is that putin used the existence of russian-speaking Ukrainians as an excuse to being his full-scale genocide - and many of those he's had killed so far were in fact russian-speaking Ukrainians. So it's understandable that many Ukrainians would be disgusted with the language and want to switch, but from the people I've spoken to or heard speak, switching languages - which is absolutely possible btw - is not just about disgust, but also an understanding of the history of aggressive russification of some areas of Ukraine.

  1691. Many do indeed refer to him as that.
    4
  1692.  @stevemcgowen  Apparently not... Ksenia Turkova has made an excellent (and short) video about this. I've been following her for nearly two years, she's 100% pro-Ukrainian and a brilliant fact-checker, I recommend her content
    4
  1693. Yes, exactly. And tbh that must have been the plan in 2014... if Odessa had fallen then, that's what would have happened.
    4
  1694.  @cherryred8265  I also cook from scratch most of the time and it makes a huge difference - though you're right, for all the price rises of the past few years we're still doing so much better in the UK than in other countries. The problem is (apart from trump's tariffs) that so many people have been raised on the sort of processed pre-packaged food seen in this video, it's what they've been buying and eating since they left home and now they don't know how to cook with fresh food, they don't know how to shop, they're not sure how long things will last and this is a change that's even harder to make when you're suddenly desperate to save money. And of course there are people like that in every developed country in the world, but I have a feeling that the US may have the most on average.

  1695. Ooooh this was fun... I loved her raucous colleagues in the background! My first ever Good Morning America clip, it took Hot Wings 😁 Btw - and bear with me, I'm not American, I live in the UK - Is Robin Roberts the one who reported on... what was her name, Omarosa? getting carted out of the WH, and ended with the most deadpan "Bye Felicia" ever delivered? 😂
    4
  1696. He always does that. I've been listening to him regularly for over a year, if someone ever makes a word cloud from the text of all his wartime speeches (which would be a cool thing to see) "Dyakuyu" will probably be the biggest word in it. He hasn't been thanking Western countries any more since the NATO summit. Wallace was so out of order 😡

  1697.  @akrenwinkle  Manipulation and gaslighting too, well done, you seem to have the full kit.
    4
  1698. Now the US has managed to free up a space on that list, maybe they could consider adding the IDF...? Which is actually committing documented crimes against humanity in Gaza.
    4
  1699. ​@Brazen1234 Wow, you really got carried away with the assumptions there, didn't you? And tell us, are you more worried about the babies being abandoned in the freezing cold, or about these brown babies becoming British? You are aware that there are plenty of British citizens who are black and brown, right? One or both parents in this case may be British or have indefinite leave to remain. Since this country has an infrastructure aimed at caring for children whose parents can't or won't look after them, in the extremely rare cases of a newborn being abandoned a woman or girl must have gone through pregnancy and birth in secret, which is usually connected to abuse and in many cases also deprivation of liberty.

  1703. RfU has never been a "breaking news" type channel. The analysis is very valuable, I hadn't fully understood the significance up till now. And the channel has been analysing developments from other sections of the frontline since this happened.

  1704. Great ending 🤣 Your work just gets better and better... and it was good, and massively important, when I first started following you a year or so ago! Just stay safe, OK? ❤

  1705.  @birdick1307  ...what...? Who is even saying that? I haven't heard anyone even suggest that Ukraine's losses are not important. No one's even saying that about russian losses (though putin doesn't seem to care).

  1706. I usually pause halfway, scroll through the comments, go back and watch the rest. When there's more than one person openly calling for genocide I have to do that at least twice over

  1710. Thanks Kyiv Post, this was worth watching and obviously anyone who stands between putin and Ukraine - or even tries to - has my consideration and respect. But I strongly disagree with the "genocide of Slavic people" point that was made in this video: I don't have the figures at hand, but we all know that a dispoportionate number of russian soldiers who are fighting, killing and being maimed and killed in Ukraine are not in fact Slavic people, because they belong to colonised nations in the east of the so-called country currently known as the russian federation. It's also worth noting that there are ethnic russian men who choose to fight putin in the Siberian Battalion, because they strongly disagree with the undeniable white supremacist background of some prominent guys in RDK.

  1712. ​ @brakecheckneckface7892  In the interest of factual history, Bandera spent most of WW2 in a nazi prison camp. And the only reason some Ukrainian nationalists - wrongly - thought that siding with nazi Germany might be a good idea was that Stalin had intentionally starved millions of them to death about 10 years before. Timothy Snyder has given some very good lectures about this topic, all available on YT, inform yourself instead of spouting this rubbish

  1717.  @ZontarDow  Thanks!

  1718. Absolutely, well said! I'm watching this unfold from the UK, with increasing anxiety, and it's a relief to know there are more and more Americans who feel as you do.

  1719. 😂 Have you seen a Ukrainian music video, by the band Zhadan and the Dogs - Жадан і Собаки? The title is Рогань - офіційне відео. If that's the first thing that came to your mind, I think you'll enjoy it 😊 plus the track is great

  1720. Let's not forget Artyom (camera operator) and the various friends who've helped out with interviews at times... it's nice to know he's not alone in this
    3
  1721. I don't see the point of this comparative table, maybe you just like numbers. In any case, the figure you quote for civilian victims does not include the estimated tens of thousands murdered by russia in cities like Mariupol, where the remains of civilians were eventually "disposed of" when the destroyed buildings they died in where bulldozed by the occupier, or fed into the mobile crematoriums the russians are known to use.

    3
  1725. Don't get me wrong, I loathe the man, but how many of his political opponents are languishing in prison or have been forced to leave the country? Maybe he's as much like Lukaschenko as he can be and still lead a NATO / EU country.
    3
  1726. Look up a US historian called Marci Shore, she has a few lectures on Ukrainian history on YT. She's Jewish herself and talks about Ukrainian-Jewish intersectionality. I don't remember which lecture it was but I heard her mention a Jewish Ukranian soldier calling himself a Yido-Banderite (maybe there are a few, there's also a flag)

  1737.  @jjmcgee5902  I personally believe that creationism is utter, utter rubbish. I also believe that I don't have the right to use my personal beliefs to oppress others in any way, and always argue for religious freedom even though I see religion as the bane of humanity and the source, as much as the manifestation, of most evils. I dearly wish that more people who identify as religious similarly refrained from using their beliefs to make pronouncements and/or commit acts that endanger others or make their whole lives a misery - and whether you like it or not, what you're doing with these comments falls under that category. But honestly, I have no problem with people being religious bigots, as long as they keep it to themselves.

  1745. "The aim was always to break up and demilitarize the russian federation" - russian propagandists eventually. Btw: Kharkiv*. Which is not a "primary objective" of Ukraine, because... it's *in Ukraine.

  1746. Care to specify where those "large areas" were lost? And if you can't, stop trolling.

  1748. Hi, new subscriber here from the UK, thank you for your content. I can't boycott Target, but been boycotting Amazon for years and have now stepped up by not shopping at Wholefoods anymore (thanks to someone in one of your comment sections who reminded me that Wholefoods=Bezos). Thank you also for ending the video with that conversation about supporting Ukraine... I hope that can be turned into a standalone clip that can be posted everywhere! Congratulations to the young man getting his point across so well, and also to the old maga guy who was brave enough to listen and admit that those words were making him see things in a different light.

  1752. Hearing about russian losses first thing in the morning never fails to make my day. And to person who replied to you: another thing that always makes me smile is finding comments in lots of different languages under a video. It's not the language, it's the content of a comment that counts.

But I understand how AI allows him to share his work with a team, so he can upload regularly with the same degree of detail, without burning out.

  1778. Thank you for this conversation, it's so nice to see Brandon again. I can definitely see the change in him, and as someone with Complex PTSD, sadly it's a change I recognise. I can also relate to that feeling of not being able to tell "normal" people about some of my experiences, because it will upset them to the point that they don't want to be close to me anymore... though I must admit I agree with Starsky on that one, certain things need to be told, and we who support Ukraine from a distance need to learn to hear them, and carry on. I share Brandon's passion for Ukrainian history and culture, and by now all my friends have heard about the Executed Renaissance and The House of the Word in Kharkiv, and what Stalin did to those artists and thinkers. Ukrainians are helping all of us understand these awful events by making art about them: about the Executed Renaissance in particular, look up МУР - Ти [Романтика] в кіно | Офіційний Трейлер. МУР - a group of musicians and performers who Stalin would have most definitely wanted dead - made a musical about it, inspired by Hamilton, and to say it's amazing is an understatement. The whole album is on YT too: МУР - Ти [Романтика] | Full Album

  1779.  @kim-ys2fs  Pro-putin NATO countries are the main problem I think, because the choice to surrender some territories in return for membership may not need to be made: Ukraine could agree to reconquer its own territories while being protected from further attacks on the territory it does control at the moment, and the temporarily russian-occupied territories could become part of NATO as they are retaken and reintegrated. I'm just trying to understand whether that is or isn't feasible, because I don't know enough about this sort of thing.

  1780. I'm really glad to see that work is being done now to restore adequate water supply to those areas, which are suffering - at least in large part - because of the destruction of the dam last year. This is not just because I obviously want people to have access to the water they need as soon as possible, but also because this work being done now means that the baby forest growing once again in the Dnipro flood plain - the Great Meadow - will, hopefully, be preserved after occupying forces are kicked out of Ukrainian territory once and for all. Anyone who hasn't looked into this yet, please do... though I don't know how much has been written about it in English, I've been following Ukrainian sources on this. Actually if the media of any country has been reporting on this, I would love to know. The unexpected regeneration of the Great Meadow, cradle of Cossack culture, flooded decades ago by the soviet union and emptied out again by an unthinkably stupid and brutal act by the latest incarnation of russian imperialism, is the living embodiment of post-traumatic growth.

But everything that Israel has done to Palestinians over the decades will not and should not fade away because of what Hamas is doing now, and that's important. As said earlier by Palestine's ambassador to the UN - and let's pause for a moment to consider how hard this man's job is - statements about “Israel’s right to defend itself” could be interpreted by the Israeli government as “a licence to kill” (reported by the BBC). The Israeli army has been feeling entitled to brutalise and murder Palestinian civilians for a long time, they really don't need the international community's permission to do even worse.

  1796. I used to think that, but now I'm not so sure. RfU made a video a while ago, saying that YT's excuse for demonetising some of his work was that "most of the traffic is troll comments"... So at the very least we all need to post obvious non-troll comments to balance them out.

  1810. I don't mean to dismiss this serious issue, I just want to say how refreshing it is to hear the problem being attributed to "design faults and careless construction" at the very beginning of the news report... In the UK we have so many children learning in temporary buildings because their schools were poorly built, and never surveyed as they should have been; dozens of people dead in a preventable fire, and many more living in buildings that are not fire safe; many families in temporary accommodation because their blocks were at imminent risk of collapse... all due to design faults and careless construction enabled by politicians who loosened building standards so they could keep landlords and developers among their supporters. We all know this, but still no one is held accountable, and the people in power keep doing everything to pass the buck 🤬 At least Ukrainians just admit it, is what I'm saying. It makes a big difference. Respect.

"Look what you made me do", "She did it to herself", "If it weren't for feminists putting these ideas into your silly little head we would have been just fine", "HOW can you not love me?", "If I can't have you anymore, no one else will"🥺😣👿

In any case the association between that word and the nazis is a lot weaker than putin and his fans would have us believe, so let's not amplify his propaganda, not even as a joke.

  1871.  @istvanglock7445  It is whataboutism, I hear it a lot, and it's not about learning the history of slavery, it's about learning history. Children growing up in the US need to be thoroughly educated about the origin of their country, the enslavement of Africans forcibly transported across the ocean for that very purpose, and the racial superiority theories specially constructed to justify this practice, which sadly have a lot of traction to this day. Obfuscating the foundations of today's racial inequality makes it much harder to dismantle it. It is crucial for all US children to know that the descendants of the survivors are still in large part disadvantaged and discriminated against, and often actively victimised, as a direct consequence of these events and the beliefs which originated from them. "Naah-na-na-na-naah, look at the Ottomans"really, really won't do. By all means do teach US children about slavery in other parts of the world at other times in history. Just remember to point out that this was not about "whites also getting enslaved" but about the Transatlantic slave trade being one of few, if not the only, to see people of one race enslaved by people of another, who came up with a whole theory of racial superiority to justify profiting from such an abhorrent practice. It was also one of the most recent and egregious occurrences in modern history, though I think Brazil ended slavery a decade or two after the US, and IS famously enslaved Yazidis as part of their genocidal campaign against them.

  1883. Ukraine is a very rural country, compared to many in the West (that's how they produce so much of the world's wheat and other staples). So a significant portion of the population lives in "settlements" - this could be translated as "villages", but I suspect they're even smaller than villages. Also, "settlement" is a useful translation for населений пункт, an administrative term that literally means "inhabited point".

  1884. He also got a peevish phonecall from putin when the "Yurts of Invincibility" started appearing in Ukrainian cities - a beautiful as well as practical show of support from Kazakh activists - and his reply was that he doesn't have a problem with it 😁
    3
  1885.  @pduderocker  And your leadership your choice. But your leadership is now making very extreme choices for other people, who got no chance to vote for it - let's not brush that under the carpet. Also, "good relations with russia"...?? They are openly committing genocide. You literally want your country to collaborate with the nazis of our time... I wouldn't describe that as "making America great again". Not that the United States of America was ever that great. It's just big. I think dictionaries are still allowed where you are, I recommend learning the difference between those two adjectives.

  1886. That's kind of how I veganise this dish! I leave soya yogurt to drain in colander (lined with a cloth) in the fridge overnight. If it gets a bit too thick, I whisk some of the liquid back in. I've also added the liquid to the borscht itself toward the end of the cooking. There's also a vegan creme fraiche that's not too hard to find in the shops nowadays, but to be honest, there's no need - drained soya yogurt is cheaper and works really well.

  1887.  @daniel31337  The "Ukrainian civil war" angle if trolling has long been debunked, keep up. So many of the people who have opposed Russia's invasion since 2014 - who took part in the Maidan uprising, even - are/were native russian speakers. The people brutalised by russia in Mariupol in the spring of 2022 were mostly russian speakers. russian has been violently imposed on the Ukrainian population over centuries, first by the russian empire, then by the soviet union, then by putin. Read some actual history and stop posting stupid comments.
    3
  1888.  @daniel31337  The world was not "peace before 2022" - not least because Ukraine was invaded by russia in 2014. By the way, "internet knowledge" = research. And you don't know what I've learned through my own research and what I've learned from people I know and communicate with. I have a Ukrainian relative, also a russian speaker, 100% pro-Ukraine. Sort yourself out and stop venting at people online, it's an ugly and stupid thing to do.

  1902. ​ @vredacted3125  Thanks for continuing to educate people about this in spite of the odd ignorant reply ☺ In practice, many Ukrainians do use the word russia and its derivatives to refer to the enemy, but will also say things like "moscal" when they want to make a point. It's worth knowing that the words "Rus" and "russia/n" sound different when pronounced by Ukrainians, so in the original language this is less of an issue.

  1903. @brianbaldino3496  All European countries should have helped Ukraine much more, since the beginning, but they have also been helping way more than trump & co are saying.

The security guarantees that were out in place for Ukraine in the 90s have been violated over and over, of course they're fed up now.

It was supposed to be a 3-day takeover, it will be a 1000 days next week - and Ukraine is still standing, still fighting, still functioning as a country and making progress in a number of fields, not just military. Meanwhile, the rf has pretty much switched to a wartime economy and is devolving in every aspect of existence.

  1907. This seems to be a snippet from the middle of a longer interview with an artist I'm not familiar with, and maybe that's why I found it confusing, even the question is a valid one. Whatever the conclusion on Banksy was, if indeed there was one, I would like to say that he often uses his work to create value for projects and communities he wants to support. He doesn't need the publicity - he's huge. But he knows how much his work can be worth, both the piece itself, if removed from a wall and sold at auction, and reproductions of the image. I hope these works of art mean something to the local people, whose neighbourhoods have been transformed beyond recognition by the occupiers' violence and hold so much trauma; and I also hope the autorities will know how to monetise these works for the benefit of the local communities.💙💛

  1929. It 's so funny watching you trolls tie yourselves up in knots to drag Ukraine... Ukrainians have wanted to be part of the EU for years and years - that is why the Maidan protests started at the end of 2013, because Yanukovych had promised to make a move towards the application process so he could get elected but then, being putin's puppet, he pulled out just before the relevant agreement was due to be signed.

And for all putin's talk of red lines blah blah blah, he didn't do anything about it - other than keep committing the atrocities he's been committing through his army since day 1. *Because he doesn't see those territories "as russia"*: even he doesn't believe that b/s about how Ukrainians are "russians that need reminding what they are".

I've had similar thoughts about Shevchenko recently, after reading only two short poems of his: if he came back to life in 2023, he would probably freak out at absolutely everything and believe he must have woken up in some weird alien hell, then he'd see that russia is attacking Ukraine and think "Oh yeah, I know this world alright."

  1941.  @constantin88  About 40% of the electorate didn't vote for the current fascist government, because so few people had any faith in the other parties standing for election. So yes, Italy shamefully has a government made up of mussolini nostalgics (who not only say "But he also did good things!" - they actually believe that some of the awful things he did were good); but they were voted in by a minority of the electorate. The parallel made in the original comment is spot-on imo.

Soprattutto perché tutte le amiche ucraine che ho a Londra sono tanto appassionate dell'Italia, e tutte le volte che questo non è reciprocato dagli italiani... è proprio mortificante. Più parlo con gli ucraini e seguo le loro fonti direttamente (sto imparando la lingua) più mi rendo conto che gli ucraini sono gli italiani dell'Est... il che fa degli italiani gli ucraini dell'Ovest! Se solo gli italiani se ne rendessero conto

  1946. ​@noxy--- I have noticed that about transliteration of English words. In English the H (when it's not mute) is unvoiced, which brings it closer to the Ukrainian Х than Г, but it's a much softer sound than either of those consonants anyway, no more than a short exhalation of breath: like breathing on the lens of your glasses before wiping it ☺️ I think Ukrainian journalists manage foreign names much better than our press has been managing Ukrainian names over the years 😣 With a name like Harris, I think the important thing to remember is to avoid sliding from Г to Ґ - let's leave that to the russians 😂 💙💛💙💛

  1953.  @elainedaprano9130  If the son had also been with his mother, this may not have happened though... I wonder if she even knew about the FBI visit. There may be a domestic abuse situation at the bottom of all this... and when she left, he kept the son to "turn him into his version of a "real man". These are all conjectures, and very painful things to be even considering, but with my multiple experiences of domestic abuse - as a child, adult, bystander, project worker and survivors group member - it feels horribly plausible.

  1954.  @TitoJosipBroz007  I never knew Ukraine had fought and won against all those countries...when was that? 🤣 Because it's Ukraine that's at war here. Against russia. Who invaded them. And like most big countries that attack smaller countries, will lose. Україна назавжди 💙💛
    3
  1955. It seems to me that most Ukrainians would mind that very much. Not least all the ones still in Crimea, and those who've had to leave it since 2014, who are all waiting for the UAF to liberate it. Same for the Donbas. Also, putin and his gang must not be able to spin the end of the war into any sort of victory, they would only use that to regroup and get stronger, which would inevitably mean more war in a few years' time...

  1956.  @aaronday7537  Where are the lies in this video? Since you're accusing her of lying - and expecting us to believe you when you say that - the onus is on you to present credible, fact-checked evidence disproving each of those claims she makes in this video that, according to you, are lies. Or just admit that you're a troll.

  1957.  @up4open763  And if you send Ukraine money, they'll use it as they see fit. To be clear: I'm not against sending items, particularly if the situation is critical to the point that necessary items cannot easily be found. But to imply that any money sent to Ukraine is bound to end up in the hands of corrupt officials is patronising to say the least.

  1958. Good point. Poland's return to sanity (well, they're on the way, at least) may have something to do with this being done now as opposed to last year

  1971.  @karthikv1461  It's his voice, I've been following him for nearly two years. However, since he got back from break I've noticed some slight differences in how he pronounces certain words, and that's making me think that he might be using AI to voice the videos instead of recording them himself like he used to. Last year, he mentioned more than once that he was having trouble with his voice and you could hear it - if he has the technology available to spare himself some of the work, it's understandable that he would use it.

  1977.  @louisecorchevolle9241  There's more democracy in Ukraine postponing this year's elections than in every election ever held in russia - and the world knows it. Zelenskyy would have abused his power by calling the election under martial law, because the Ukrainian constitution does not allow the dissolution of parliament under martial law, and there's no point holding an election if parliament can't then be dissolved and re-formed. Besides, a vast number of Ukrainian citizens would not be able to vote this year because they are held captive by russia, or have been deported or a living under occupation.

  1978. @eddastrohmayer251 is a russian troll account of the "sensible, peace-loving variety" - I see it a lot in these threads. Shame that anyone can look up transparency international's corruption perception index, where Ukraine ranks 104 and is rising (while the rf, for example, is falling from 141). Ukraine is much closer to joining the EU than it was even last year.

But I'm sure that having an AI partner, if I could bring myself to ever do such a thing, would make it much harder for me to get into a relationship with a human being in the future. It's all speculative though, because the look and sound of those things makes me physically sick, and skin-on-skin contact is a pretty crucial part of relationships for me.

As a vegan who often works till late in the evening, a falafel wrap on my way home is a firm favourite, the sort of meal that always spares me from eating a takeaway after 10 in the evening or going to bed on an empty stomach. And having a coffee and croissant on the top deck of a London bus is always the highlight of my morning. If Transport for London created little travelling cafes on our buses I doubt I would ever want for anything else 😂

  2003. I can't quite tell, it's too quick... The Witch is stationed in Bakhmut as far as I know so this may well be her, but it could just as easily be another female soldier, there are several thousands on the frontlines and many more in the UAF. 💙💛

  2006. As an atheist who had terrible experiences in the church - and considers religion one of the cancers of humanity - I wasn't able to keep listening... which makes me sad, because I always really appreciate Starsky's work. Besides, there are atheists in the Ukrainian army, they're not all religious like he said.

  2008. Hey YouTube, this human viewer understands the dynamics of the battlefield much better since watching Reporting from Ukraine's daily videos. Don't you dare deprive this man of his revenue, he works much harder than all your execs put together - while his country's under fire. 💙💛

  2009.  @musicfangirl7403  Just to add another non-troll voice to this thread, I would say that as positive, warm, and joyful as Harris is, she's also someone who doesn't suffer fools, and she knows how to catch any bs that comes her way and fling it neatly back to where it came from. She is also a confident woman who's had to build herself up, and will not fawn over dictators because unlike trump, she doesn't need to bask in their dirty light. These seem to me excellent qualities in a leader, particularly the leader of the most powerful country in the world.

  2010. ​ @romeob.8369 Oh yes, let's judge a country by the behaviour of a few of its border guards in an unprecedented crisis. Some of those students were indeed treated badly when Ukrainians were prioritised over them on their way out of the country - however it must be said that those students would have been young, single people, and the people allowed to go in front of them would have been families with children and old people.

  2011.  @robertcampomizzi7988  Here's a challenge for you: look up the internationally recognised definitions of genocide and apartheid, and tell us how Israel's actions in Palestine since 1948 do not correspond to either. And until you've done that - and it's not possible, unless someone is hallucinating - don't expect me to reply to another one of your incredibly unsavoury comments.

  2017. Update: I found the interview. Full video title: ВОДІЙ У ПІХОТІ: НА ОЧАХ СИРСЬКОГО ЗНИЩИВ ДВОХ ШТУРМОВИКІВ.
    3
  2018.  @mikropower01  It happened on June 15th, the interview must have been about a week later. He shows the arm injuries in the interview, it was small shrapnel to both the arm and leg, and he chose to bandage himself rather than use tourniquets because restrict mobility - he couldn't afford to have a numb leg and arm while getting himself out of that situation. The state of the arm injury is perfectly consistent with what an injury of that kind would look like after proper treatment and healing for a week.

  2019.  @TheRickurb  The US may have had its last actual election - if last year's wasn't significantly interfered with. And as far as I understand, over the decades a lot of trickery has gone into suppressing certain people's vote, or ensuring that rep candidantes have an advantage. But yeah, on paper, I think the russian federation too is a representative democracy.

  2022.  @tenniswilliam  The word "slave" does originate from "slav". What I profoundly object to in your comment, however, is 1) the way you casually equate russians with all slavs (way to do putin's work for him) and 2) the way you equate Africans with the Ottoman Empire. Another thing that must be pointed out is that "russians" didn't exist until the 18C when a muscovite emperor rebranded his empire as "russia" to appropriate the ancient culture associate with Kievan Rus, which had flourished on the territory of modern Ukraine and had. Nothing. To do. With "russia". Whatsoever.

  2023. Are you saying that to russia? Because I've heard russians say that when asked whether they think the 'special operation' is going 'according to plan'

  2024.  @mountainfrost7095  How about the poor Ukrainians who've been raped and murdered in their homes and neighbourhoods by invading russian forces, and the poor Ukranians who are trying to defend their country from genocide? Do you ever spare a thougth for them?

  2030.  @QwadLuzr  Zelensky doesn't actually leave his country very often, for a head of state. Mostly he's in Ukraine, and he regularly visits the armed forces at the frontlines and rehab centres. And everyone can see all that, just as we can all see how much of your comment is straight out of putin's projections playbook - "accuse our opponents of all the disgusting things we've been doing, everyone will buy it because obviously they're all as stupefied as we are"

  2038.  @tobiasbauer198  No, there's more of a difference between Ukrainian and russian. Ukranian and Polish are probably as similar as Spanish and Portuguese. Ukranian and Belarusian are like Spanish and Italian.
    3
  2039.  @tracyfarnath2270  He only changed his tune on that fairly recently. Ukrainians overall didn't buy it, and remain mightily unimpressed with him. It goes without saying that I don't think he should be languishing in prison, but I understand Ukrainians' disdain towards him.
    3
  2040.  @MorningNapalm  Not to mention the women and girls who've been raped by the occupying troops. It's also worth mentioning that Ukrainians abroad go through hell with the news that come through every day and the worry about their loved ones and their country - I know several and this always comes up in conversation.

  2044.  @TheMightyKingzuru  negotiating with bloodthirsty psychopaths has never been and never will be a good idea. I imagine there will be negotiations over the amount of reparations to be paid to Ukraine by the rf or whatever it turns into. Meanwhile, start posting your "peace" messages under pro-russian videos and see what reception they get
    3
  2045. That's a very good point. I've always thought that only the UN is in the position to send peace-keeping troops though, and they've been completely paralysed by having the rf in their security council and not having a mechanism to expel them. Can individual countries send peace-keepers without that being interpreted as an offensive move?

  2050. Your comment reeks of maga brand christofascism
    3
  2051. Zelenskyy Is a Ukrainian, living in Ukraine. So is the other guy you mention, though I believe that one's now in a Ukrainian prison on corruption charges. There are tens of millions of people living in Ukraine and they are Ukrainians living in their own country. When you feel inclined to return every country in the Americas to the descendants of the indigenous people who were there when those lands were occupied by various Europeans, let us know.
    3
  2052. That wasn't a great joke tbh. The Hungarian democracy = McD salad was gold!
    3
  2053. There are some differences though... for example the way the ethnic indigenous population of Crimea was deported en mass towards the end of WW2 and "resettled" in Uzbekistan (many dying on the way).

  2054.  @TheRealBillBob  You do know that Ukrainian soldiers wash regularly...? They have mobile units where they can shower while their uniforms are in the washer and dryer. Besides, she's not in a trench. Why wouldn't she be clean?

  2055.  @billywright1890  That's still no reason to stop fearing him, his associates and cult followers, and the system that allowed someone like him to run for the highest office in the most powerful country in the world... twice.

  2058. This comment has aged beautifully, like the interview itself. I missed it when it aired and I'm glad it popped up in my recommendations now (probably something to do with all the Canadian "make America go away" type videos that I've been bingeing lately for a much-needed injection of hope). The trolls in this comment section are hilarious and pathetic, if they really are Canadians I hope they'll just pack up and move south - all the refugees from the US need somewhere to go after all.
    3
  2059. That worries me though... I don't want them to learn!

  2060. Americans need to start pestering their representatives to make noise about this until it enters the national conversation, trump and his people are questioned about it regularly, and appropriate measures are put in place to contain the danger.

  2062.  @FloppaTheBased  I know very well what happened and continues to happen to Native Americans, you whatabouter (I'm not American btw). And if being a russian colony is such a ball for the indigenous people of Siberia, I'm wondering why there have been serious attempts at Siberian independence, and a Siberian battalion is currently training to fight on Ukraine's side

  2063.  @strivingforthekingdoment.2303  The video apparently cuts out just before that man is asked to leave said meeting, for making such extreme claims without evidence.

  2064. I think most if not all of those sailors were exchanged later in 2022. A year or so after that I watched an interview with the lad who came up with the... sentence of the century, and he has since gone back to active duty but it took him a long time to recover from captivity. They were all repeatedly tortured because the orcs wanted to get the guy who had made that statement, to make an example of him - they hated how that sentence had become such a powerful symbol of resistance. But the guys didn't break ❤🖤

  2065.  @dioghaltasfoirneartach7258  Thanks 🙂 Not least for making me realise that the handle of the troll I was replying to - @magicjohnson3121 - doesn't appear in my comment for some reason, so it looks like I was snapping at the person who started the thread, when I really wasn't. YT sometimes 😒

  2067.  @levshneider  It is actually a known fact that Harris/Walz policies are very likely to be better for the economy than anything that trump & co did, or are planning to do (or whatever concept they have in mind). But you russian trolls keep hammering this point.

  2071.  @helgeschneider9069  That's true, but "better than russia" is a low, low bar. Even "much better than russia" is too low! I have family there and I know that things could and should be much better. Of course Italy's not alone in that

  2073. "native people first" you say, but also somehow expect others to believe your outrage on behalf of earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria... Ukraine was one of the first countries to send a rescue team - and I think we can all agree that they need all their rescuers at home, but they sent some over anyway. Btw, everyone with half a brain knows that russia is only "ready to talk" because the war they stupidly started isn't going "according to plan"... no one should be pressured to negotiate with an attacker, neither a person nor a country. Слава Україні 💙💛

  2074. The money comes out of different budgets. It's not Ukraine's fault that so many English children are homeless - and we'd all be in a much, much worse situation if russia was allowed to take over Ukraine.

  2075.  @BillBarr4President  ... and millions of them voting for Harris/Walz

  2076.  @csuporj  If you're so worried about Ukrainian men not currently allowed to leave Ukraine, you should be pestering your employer to cease all hostilities against Ukraine, withdraw all troops back to 1991 borders and return all captives. Ukraine had been at war for 8 years without martial law, that was only declared after the mass-scale invasion.

  2078. This video will have a lot more views now that I've discovered it... I'm not even a xmassy person, it's a bit embarassing to be reduced to tears by a xmas song. I love this band and this is beautiful, I'm really glad I found a live video of it. The look on his face as the children start singing is just priceless. Україна переможе!
    3
  2079. There are several Ukrainians of relatively recent Korean descent (for example, one of the regional governors, Vitaliy Kim), and many of them will still speak the language... Even with the S Korean support that the UAF are definitely getting, they would manage. They probably have Korean-Ukrainians deployed in Kursk.

  2080.  @SeeLasSee  He apparently refuses to speak English in public, because he's self-conscious about his accent... I think of that every time Zelensky gives a speech in his accented, understandable, expressive and perfectly functional English 😁

  2085. Why should LGBT+ people wait until every other problem has been solved? If you didn't have the right to go and see your injured partner in hospital, or bury them as you know they want to be buried, or carry on living in the same home and raise your children after your partner's death, you would be making noise too.

  2088.  @ARTUROmechanika  Aha thank you, I've been watching so many videos of russians getting their arses kicked all over the world, that I didn't consider the possibility. That's a funny thought, a drunken fight among russians as everybody else watches and takes videos, waiting for them to finish each other off. Kind of what we're doing with the war as well, in a way... I just wish they would get on with it and not hurt anyone else.

    3
  2092.  @OlgasBritishFells  Daniil uploads the unedited interviews so that anyone who understands russian can check his work for bias. Besides, one thing I've learned from his videos is that there are russians who will speak out against the system... just not many. Most of those who refuse to be interviewed (the majority of the people he approaches) are probably against the war, but too scared to say. Your comment sounds like many others under his videos, just trying to undermine support for his channel.
    3
  2093. He didn't cherrypick, we've known for months that russians are raiding museums and obviously the work of cataloguing these thefts is huge and ongoing. He highlighted this reality again - a good thing in itself - to lead into the commercial part of the video.
    3
  2094. I hope he's raising money for the UAF with those tiktok videos...? By the way: when his family walked in on him drinking coffee, they were singing "Three Little Piglets" (I decided that Ukrainians needed to know this😂)

  2097.  @ВосточныйСлавянин  I've never once seen that quoted in context, so I always take it with a pinch of salt whenever it comes up. I also wouldn't refer to Poroshekno as the "Maidan-president" of Ukraine, since he was elected after putin-puppet Yanukovych fled the country as a result of the Revolution of Dignity. Poroshenko didn't orchestrate the protests - no one person or entity did.

  2101. Well, give us a list. And then let's compare it to a list of the things that make trump unfit to be president of a tiny banana republic, let alone the most powerful country in the world
    3
  2102. The channel did switch to an AI voice at the beginning of this year, after he had to take a month off because of illness (and probably burnout, from making and uploading a video a day). You can tell by the place names that don't always work, though that did improve. I too don't like AI narrated channels, but this did allow him to build up his team and expand the channel, so I suppose it's a good thing.

  2112.  @MrDen-lv5uj  In English, the distinction between "Indian" and "Black" is very clear, but the translation seems to have confused a few people. In any case, no truth actually came out of trump's mouth (what a surprise), because he's implying that she used to hide her Black Jamaican heritage, or played it down in favour of her Indian heritage, or has made it up altogether - which is all complete and utter rubbish.

  2117. To anyone even remotely tempted to give this troll the benefit of the doubt for 2 seconds: find Timothy Snyder's lectures from last year - The Making of Modern Ukraine should get you the whole playlist, just over 20 mostly in chronological order - and click on the ones focussing on the early to mid-20C. By all means listen to all of them if you have time, just under one hour each, only one uses visual aids so you can treat them as podcasts. As for karma... russia has accumulated enough of it to justify the whole country being blown to smithereens about 5 times over... Слава Україні 💙💛

The impression of anyone who grew up in a country with a decent and FREE healthcare system is that some American dogs are treated better than many American humans... and unlike this @claus-not-santa handle, I am not a russian troll, but a supporter of Ukraine. I've just known too many Americans whose health improved after they'd been living in London for a while, because they could go to the doctor's every time they were sick... one woman had quite a nasty injury when she got knocked off her bicycle, she needed two ops a few months apart and lots of painkillers, and I remember her saying "Thank god I wasn't back home when this happened, I would have ended up in debt for life".

That was the callsign of the neonazi who cofounded the private military company (one of the guys who apparently just died with Prigozhin, his name escapes me right now but it's all over the news). He was ex-army, one of the russians that started the war in the Donbas in 2014 - you know, the "civil war" that the rf was supposedely nothing to do with. The dude chose Wagner as his callsign because... that was Hitler's favourite composer. I'm not joking, there is evidence for that. These are the people "fighting nazis in Ukraine" 👿

  2157.  @Mopsisgone  I agree with you but bear in mind that @eddastrohmayer251 is a soft troll account - keep an eye out for its other comments under Ukraine-related videos. As for spelling, transliteration can never do justice to the original anyway - it's always going to be an approximation. The cyrillic spelling is Зеленський, so technically the ending (the masculine ending for most adjectives in the nominative case) does not repeat the same letter twice: и is a vowel and й is a consonant. In conclusion, it doesn't really matter whether someone writes it with one y or two, that's not the type of misspelling favoured by kremlin trolls.

All my relatives are in Italy, and while I do have some sane cousins, I've been witnessing with growing horror the effect of putin's propaganda on several family members - particularly the ones who had heavily subscribed to covid conspiracy theories (as opposed to being rationally critical of the pandemic measures, which is a different thing). One of these people literally tried to convince to learn russian instead of Ukrainian!! Meanwhile, the left-wing side of my family is generally more capable of critical thinking - and also includes a Ukrainian cousin - but the older people are really suffering from being confronted with the reality of the soviet union, which they grew up idealising from afar. So it's difficult to have a reasonable conversation about Ukraine.

  2174.  @Grzegorz_Grabowski  Thank you, I'm always flattered when people I'm assume I'm Ukrainian. I've never once got the impression that Ukrainians in general lack any knowledge of their history. Assuming you are Polish, I would like to know how knowledgeable Poles tend to be about the imperialist history of their own country. As for the colours: The Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV is most probably an apocryphal piece of writing, by the painting it inspired dates back to the late 19C and both blue and yellow and red and black appear on the Cossacks' lances. That means that before Bandera was even born, those colours were historically associated with Ukrainian national identity. Which was indeed partly forged in the long struggle against Polish dominance.

  2175.  @Grzegorz_Grabowski  🤣 When someone calls you out on something, quickly accuse them of the very thing they're calling you out on... While it's abundantly obvious from all your comments that you're not a putin sympathizer, you definitely argue like they do...

  2187.  @dro355  No. Until late last year, I used to teach myself how to pronounce Ukrainian place names by listening to him - that changed after he was off sick for a month early this year. The AI replicates his voice and accent very well, but is then not able to produce the correct pronunciation of Ukrainian words within English speech. I'm sure about all this because I can tell the difference from last year - I'm bilingual, I work with languages and I'm learning Ukranian, so I trust my ear. I emailed the channel about this issue last week, because I'm worried it may undermine credibility among their followers and is a gift to anti-Ukraine trolls trying hard to discredit the channel because of its brilliant and crucial content. They said they'll take it into consideration but the thing is, this is a team and it was obviously too much of a strain on one man to narrate all the videos, and AI probably allows them to keep the channel going.

  2234. This channel started voicing videos with AI after the guy whose voice we've been hearing for over two years came back from being off sick for a month. I used to teach myself how to pronounce Ukrainian place names from these videos, so I really noticed the difference. I imagine that his voice is a big part of the channel (like Zaluzhniy's face on the thumbnail!) so it's something they would want to keep even when he's not able to record the voiceover personally - there is now a team of people working on these updates, and it's also possible that he's the only one with the skills to provide such a professional and clear voiceover. The AI does replicate his voice and accent almost perfectly but doesn't deal well with multilingual content, for example Ukrainian words within an English-language text. That results in the incorrect and inconsistent pronunciations of Ukrainian words we now hear in these updates. It's a shame, and I do worry about it affecting the channel's credibility - I did email them about it and they even replied, but in the end I understand that there's only so much they can do.

  2251. This never fails to make me laugh... I had to watch it again after the Please Don't Destroy "We Got Too High" sketch, because I'm SURE Colin had something to do with it. Or maybe they've all heard this story and that inspired the sketch...?
    2
  2252. If the orcs do blow up the nuclear power station 😰 Ukrainians might well head to moscow... but until then, unfortunately, they have too much to lose. So I keep hoping I never see the UAF advance on moscow, just because I don't want a nuclear disaster on Ukrainian land after everything they're already coping with.

  2253.  @philip5940  exactly 😑

  2254. Someone in another comment thread raised the "notion of irreparable harm" and seems to think that it could be applied in this case. Is this what you're referring to?

  2257. No need to watch old movies, just watch footage from the war in Ukraine.
    2
  2258. So many Z-trolls under videos like this one, which show the resilience of individual Ukrainians and of the Ukrainian nation as a whole.... clearly this is the most dangerous thing for russia. I love gymnastics and look forward to seeing this girl perform internationally in years to come. I just wish this guy was a bit better at interviewing children! If they'd let her show off her skills first, she might have talked a little bit more. Nevermind. This was lovely. 💙💛

  2259. Actually no, that's not what he does - he clearly describes the UAF's mistakes too, when they do make mistakes
    2
  2260. Thank you, well put.

  2261. I honestly don't think they want more territory, they just want their own back. But I'm sure they wouldn't mind a buffer zone

  2264.  @Freefall343  A military dictatorship is when a country is run by its own army rather than a civilian government. Ukraine is patently not being run by its own army. It is however under martial law, as a direct consequence of russia's full scale invasion 18 months ago, which would happen pretty much in any country fighting off a genocidal invasion. As for your other point... "picking and choosing what race leaves the country first": what...?? And by that, I mean both what do you mean and what are you on
    2
  2265.  @Freefall343  Ukraine is a sovereign country that - unlike the rf - has free and fair elections, and as such it is free to choose which countries and unions it does and does not engage with. I realise that concepts like freedom and self-determination must make no sense to someone who trolls for the kremlin, but that's your problem
    2
  2266. He does. I've heard him talk very critically about US policy in the Middle East on more than one occasion. But because he's a professional, and takes his job and his platform very seriously, he doesn't make big pronouncements on areas that are not within his specialism.
    2
  2267.  @Hasan-jf7by  Actually the Ukrainian government had spent a lot of money on cities like Mariupol and Bakhmut in recent years - that may be one of the reasons putin decided to flatten those cities.
    2
  2268.  @Acts1043  Anyone remotely tempted to give this troll the benefit of the doubt, please watch the video that Operator Starsky made about the "bombing of the Donbas" (from last year, but you'll find it easily on his channel), because he quotes figures from independent sources. Also do an internet search for Odessa Trade Union Building and you'll realise that the situation wasn't as simple as "people being burned". The mayor of Odessa is a russian gangster (literally - he even has connections to the Italian mafia) and if Odessans has not resisted, the city would have been taken over just like Crimea and the Donbas. The plan was obviously to keep taking bites out of Ukraine until russia managed to join up with Transistria, and from there just gobble up the whole country.
    2
  2269.  @Hasan-jf7by  I don't think you're a russian bot. I think you've been listening mostly to russian bots and you're convinced you're "telling the truth" when you're really mostly paraphrasing russian propaganda.
    2
  2270. RfU started using AI early this year, around the time they started uploading every other day. Until that point - I've been following for a very long time - it was one guy narrating the videos every day, and when he got ill or burnt out the channel would take long breaks. I hate AI voices but I can see that this helps him work with a team, which makes the channel more sustainable and just as well-produced and relevant as ever. The downside is that AI deals very badly with multilingual content - hence the weird-sounding place names - and trolls like the one below get to use legitimate questions like yours to undermine the channel's credibility.
    2
  2271. This has never been a "breaking news" channel - I heard about the UAF destroying the hospital shortly after it happened, but have only just understood the significance for the defense against this latest orc offensive.
    2
  2272. I admire the detail... when someone is that disgusting I just try to think about them as little as possible! Have you alerted the relative authorities about your concerns?
    2
  2273.  @alanpartridge6024  There is a lot between "overwhelmed" and "not looking good". We need to learn not to buy into panicky language, which is ultimately induced by well-planned russian psychological warfare.

  2274.  @deonstols6895  Thankfully I'm in the UK, not the States... but the damage he's being allowed to do will reverberate across the world fir generations.

  2275. The time for that was over two years ago. He didn't do it then, why would he do it now?
    2
  2276.  @paulking7019  There's been a change of government if you haven't noticed, we have a new Prime Minister who is (hopefully!) doing to do many things differently from the previous one, so it's not a bad thing that he reiterated this decision. Just the other day I heard - from a blogger I respect and trust, because he researches every bit of info he disseminates - that UK permission to strike rf territory had been revoked... so it's good to hear this now. As for why Ukraine hasn't made use of that yet, I don't sit in their strategy meetings but it's possible that they want to know they'll be able to use everything at their disposal in a short period of time, and that the US will be fully on side when they do so.

  2278.  @woodstream6137  Such a good point, thank you! Like others in this thread, I tend to do it straight away on certain channels, because I don't want to forget.
    2
  2279. Typical colonial argument, racist Brits come up with the same line when challenged about their imperialist history - "these people would still be living in huts without us" blah blah blah. Colonisation means that people, nations, countries don't get to develop they way they would have naturally. If Ukraine hadn't been brutalized, starved and occupied by the soviet union, do you think people wouldn't have built anything? What an idiotic argument.

  2280.  @ОлегЧайка-л9т  ☺ I don't think my reply is even in this thread any more, but what you wrote means a lot to me, thank you. 💙💛
    2
  2281.  @bsastarfire250  Indeed. I was so intrigued that I looked it up, because even though I'd never come across the word "rasputitsa" before (thanks @CAPSLOCKPUNDIT) it sounded russian to me. And I was right. It means "season of bad roads" and has its own English-language Wikipedia page, which fortunately also gives us the Ukrainian term (you can even click on the pronunciation!): "bezdoRIzhzhia" - "doROha" means "road", "bez" means "without".

  2284. The Ukranian constitution prevents the dissolution of Parliament under martial law, which makes election pointless - something we all know because we've all been reading and hearing about it for months, but now we have to put up with kremlin troll endlessly recycling this line they've been fed by their managers.

  2285.  @dindjarin1961  trump fangirls over putin and kim jong un, do you think he's planning to step down at the end of a second term?? Vote for him once more and you'll never have to vote again... just like he told you.

  2286.  @andrewboddy2791  Thank you, that rings a bell now - I think Timothy Snyder brought it up in one of his lectures on The Making of Modern Ukraine, last year. Very important word to remember, because sadly the concept doesn't seem to have gone out of fashion

  2287. Zelenskiy has repeatedly resisted pressure from other countries to extend conscription to every male over 18, because he wants to preserve that age group.

  2289. ​@foolishinvestment7545 🤣 Thank you, good to know it's such an ingrained pattern of behaviour, it means it'll remain hard to break, leaving Ukrainians with a crucial advantage in this dark moment of shell shortage and lack of US support. Also thank you for educating me, and cheering me up 😊 Just out of curiosity: are there still russian players on the platform? Is the world of online gaming taking a stance?

  2291.  @marct2124  I've been watching this content for years now, and no I don't get the impression that "Ukraine is overwhelmingly winning" - if you don't people to think you may be a troll, stop expressing yourself like one.
    2
  2292.  @marct2124  As I said, Mr ThinSkin, if you don't like people telling you that you sound like a troll, think about what made you sound like one. Also, no one in this day and age should be following a single information source on any one topic anyway - if you want a different perspective, go and look for it, instead of whining at one content creator. And since I do have much better things to do with myself, goodbye.
    2
  2293. Probably because that face has become the face of the channel. Also, Zaluzhny has not been "exiled" - he is now Ukraine's ambassador to the UK. Which will, incidentally, give him the political experience to run for president in future, if he wishes to do so.
    2
  2294.  @mrnobody3161  Not everyone has the time to go over the whole video again, and some people listen while doing other things - because they're busy, but still care and want to keep up to date - so they can't always read the text off the screen. It would be much better for the channel if the people reading out the quotes did slow down a notch, and feedback is important.

  2299. putin has sent his mercenaries to destabilise several African countries, Mali included, supporting dictators and committing war crimes wherever they go. I'm relieved to know that Ukrainian special forces are sharing their knowledge of the wagner group, as well as tactics and equipment, with local people standing up to those dictatorships aliged with the rf.
    2
  2300. Many of the millions of Ukrainians deliberately starved to death by stalin 90 years ago were in that area, and were then replaced by russian speakers. Having said that, we really should move away from equating russian-speaking Ukrainians with people who buy into kremlin propaganda, because many Ukrainians who grew up speaking mostly russian very firmly identify as Ukrainian (including many of the people who've been killed since 24th February 2022).

    2
  2307.  @jetsunleashed8368  Just repeating a trite comment that's been doing the rounds for the best part of two years shows that the person probably (not necessarily) can't be bothered to use their brain very much. As for the actual content: a small part of your taxes goes into your country's defense budget, and part of that budget is (should be) currently going to Ukraine. Your country's defense budget wouldn't be used to sort out whatever problems you have "at home" - unless there's a civil war where you live? Also, russia's war on Ukraine is not just happening to "other people": if russia is allowed even a partial victory (or so much as a breather) in Ukraine, they'll start attacking other neighbouring countries, and China may see this as a green light to attack Taiwan, and then all of our countries' defense budgets will get bigger and bigger, indeed depriving us of other things we need. And who knows, you may get drafted. Fully supporting Ukraine NOW makes the above scenarios much less likely. Fully supporting Ukraine two years ago, or in 2014 when this all started, would have been a lot smarter as this war would probably be over by now.

  2308. 100% Thank you, stay safe. Respect and gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine who are keeping all of us safe, whether we understand it or not. 💙💛

  2309. It must be hard to keep the maps updated when there are positional battles going for days in a small area, maybe even weeks. I follow Motolife UA, he reports most weeks from that part of the front, he helps me to see how territory can change hands again and again overtime.

  2311. Ukraine is getting bombed pretty much on a daily basis while defending itself from obliteration - that's why it's special
    2
  2312.  @UtubeH8tr  16 years of "blue" when...? Besides, it's not just about the party, it's also about the person, their team, and the moment. While I'm no fan of US republicans, trump can't be compared to any prior republican US president - he even makes Bush jr look, well, not so bad.

  2315.  @jjmcgee5902  In fact my biggest problem with creationism is that it sucks the wonder out of the universe. There's nothing beautiful about it if we choose to see it as somebody's master plan, rather than the series of accidents it so clearly is. And frankly, I don't have a problem with any god: all gods are stories, and telling stories to ourselves and one another is what makes us human. My problem is exactly with people like you, and what you choose to do with those stories - see my previous comment. But like I've already said, I believe in your right to believe those stories are real - just as long as it's not in my face all the time, because I find it distasteful to see people choosing to use only a tiny part of their frontal cortex.

  2320.  @eh1702  Thank you! It really helps when someone can summarise facts so clearly, I know all this but in the heat of an argument with some sh*thead who chooses to swallow russian propaganda it's hard to be effective. When you say "a bit of Moldova", do you mean Transistria? But then has it been annexed the way Crimea was annexed in 2014? How did I miss out on that??

  2324. Nope, Ukrainian soldier. A few trolls tried to push that theory and got set straight by a couple of brilliant fact checkers. Plus, here's the full interview with the guy: ВОДІЙ У ПІХОТІ: НА ОЧАХ СИРСЬКОГО ЗНИЩИВ ДВОХ ШТУРМОВИКІВ.
    2
  2325. Strangely for me, it's the opposite... but I'm probably an outlier, in that I didn't have a smartphone until late last year and I'm not on social media. I used to log into my laptop to make sure I didn't miss a work email - I'm a precarious worker and rely partly on last-minute work - then I'd get sucked into the news, then youtube, etc etc. Before I knew it I'd been sitting there for hours. But I don't like smartphones very much, I literally don't like holding mine in my hands and watching stuff on it, so I will quickly check email and news, send a couple of replies if I need to, then get up and do an exercise snack. I'm making it sound really good, it's not always this easy and throughout my life I've had huge problems getting out of bed (and also going to bed: I've recently accepted that I too have ADHD, and I don't find transitions easy): but it's definitely better now than it was pre-smartphone. The main reason I got one is that I wanted to wake up with Ukrainian radio, since I'm learning the language. So the first conscious thing I do every morning is try to make out as many words as possible, sometimes I'll even look up a few words before going into my emails. Maybe that's what your psychiatrist means by "healthy dopamine"? Thanks for sharing your experience, you made me think about mine 🤗

  2326. Seriously? That does sound like them. Can you point me to a source?

  2332.  @AlanStrandbygaard  I see your point. I don't know about WW2 but I think that was a choice Churchill made at one point, maybe when a British ship was sunk (if anyone knows about this, please give me some more clues and I promise to educate myself). But I still think transparency is important, particularly in this day and age.
    2
  2333.  @ЗенаКушіль  The thing about Italians is, most of them talk about politics CONSTANTLY. And very loudly. But their ability to look at things from different points of view is generally limited. I don't think Italy has fully recovered from WW2, and that may be because it wasn't allowed to... decades and decades of corruption, of knowing that your vote counts for nothing and the people in charge are crooks is not good for any nation.
    2
  2334.  @Navigator2166  Thanks for being so nice about it☺ I too was confused by "wagons", I have a feeling it may refer to units of iron ore, since that was one of the assets mentioned in the video. Considering the phenomenal amount of raw materials looted from Ukraine since February '22, I really hope I'm right about this! 💙💛
    2
  2335. I feel the same. I must have replied to 10+ comments under this video alone, because I'm worried about it impacting the channel's credibility. It's possible that this makes it possible for other team members to do the videos when he can't, but they should be straight about it. I'm going to email the channel directly.

  2337. Aaaaand... another nonsensical comment from you. I'm beginning to think this may be your U.S.P. at the troll farm
    2
  2338. I started out thinking the same as you, but here's a couple of comments from further up in the comment section that make a lot of sense to me: someone describe the institute as " a state-run filter for the faithful. only those who graduate with the best grades, meaning they have proven their allegiance, will be allowed to progress into actual political positions", and another person adds: "This institute is well-know to be a special one. It is mainly for children of political and diplomatical ruling circles and its purpose is to create future apologists of the regime." And that may explain not only their appalling opinions (or what they say in lieu thereof) but also why 1420 went back.

    2
  2342.  @viktorgr1222  KharkIV. SBU have been arresting collaborators all over the country, not only in the East. And yes, openly expressing support for the country currently committing genocide in Ukraine has unsurprisingly become a criminal offence in Ukraine.
    2
  2343.  @natalieturko4808  It's more likely that UAF command is waiting for the right time to destroy that bridge, for it to have maximum impact on the war as a whole
    2
  2344. From what I've heard (from the Ukrainian author Andrey Kurkov for example, heard him speak a few times last year and I'm reading his latest book) support for russia in the Donbas had been steadily decreasing since 2014 - even with lots of anti-putin Ukrainians relocating to other areas. Also, allegiances change over time, as people experience first-hand the realities of the regime they were - often passively - supporting from a distance. I doubt there are many putin-lovers left in the Donbas now...
    2
  2345.  @jackabbott6325 You do know that Ukraine's been at war for 10 years...? Have you even considered that this man may have served and been injured before the full-scale invasion even began? Are you able to type a single word without whining and judging others? Your comments are starting to make me sick - and considering all the Z-trolls in these threads, the competition is robust
    2
  2346.  @jackabbott6325 If you don't remember that just after Crimea came the Donbas, and 8 years of active warfare during which many Ukrainians died and many more were injured, we definitely can't talk.
    2
  2347.  @phaelox  Oh yeah, definitely some trolling going on there, but he did give the opportunity to say some things that I think can't be said enough and that's why I decided to engage for a while. That happens to some of my posts too, and I don't mean the few where I've occasionally slipped up and expressed my genuine wishes for those responsible for these atrocities and everyone who supports them.... I mean quite normally, even carefully worded posts, like the ones on this thread

  2348.  @vjsuxujrix9245  "the most respected worl [sic] leader there is"...? Where's the evidence for that? Btw I would like to remind you that a huge number of Germans once "loved" hitler

  2349. @allanfarr  Europe could do a lot more, and we've all been saying that all along, but European countries all together have contributed more than the USA.
    2
  2350.  @daledelatte9607  Europe as a whole has donated more than the US to Ukraine - that is a fact. Considering how much larger the US is - both in territory, population and economy - than even the largest EU country, comparing single country contribution is nonsensical.
    2
  2351. But don't forget to actually vote
    2
  2352. Because russian proxy (and special) forces got their ar**s handed to them by Azov in Mariupol in 2014. Which is also why putin wanted Mariupol to be brutalised and destroyed even more than other Ukrainian cities 😢
    2
  2353.  @larsrons7937  Azov's undeniable and - as you do say - long-changed far-right leanings can't have anything to do with putin's grudge against them... there are plenty of neonazi groups on russia's side, spreading propaganda, grooming people in and outside of Ukraine, and putin loves them. He hates Azov because regardless of their politics, they're Ukrainian nationalists who kick his a** again and again, staring in 2014.

  2355. I'm not sure if there's a better way of doing this, but I'm going copy and paste a reply made a few minutes ago to another comment - I think you need it! (I did too): @henrysaari1891 4 minutes ago When in doubt I remind myself of the following: 1. Russia lost it's best troops and equipment last spring while Ukraine will get it's best equipment this spring. 2. More young men fled Russia than got conscripted. 3. Last year aid to Ukraine was more than Russia's military budget. 4. Russian economy is sliding downhill at an ever faster pace. There is lots of hope. Thank you @henrysaari1891 😊Слава захисникам 💙💛

  2356. There are so many reasons why I would agree with your statement that the UK is "no longer great" (I doubt it ever really was), but having a brown Prime Minister really isn't one of them - that's just a racist statement.

  2359.  @JN-wr9he  I feel like I'm covered in slime just reading your comment... but I'm sure this young person has a lot of experience in dealing with the likes of you, certainly more than I have. To address the content of what you wrote, not only did the "West" want a prosperous, independent russia (to trade with, which is actually all our leaders care about as far as I can see), and strong too, in the sense of "strong" that doesn't include extreme, insane aggression: the West actually convinced itself that russia was already at that stage.

  2375.  @alexandrnoskov5437  Zelensky is the legitimate president of Ukraine. The Ukrainian constitution does not allow for the dissolution of Parliament while the country is under martial law, which means there can be no elections until martial law is lifted. There's more democracy in Ukraine postponing the election than in every election held in the rf since its inception - not to mention every "referendum" held in any of the occupied Ukrainian territories since 2014.

  2378. I don't know if the first one was staged, but I have a strong feeling this one was... not by trump's team necessarily, but maybe by putin, as a way to get his precious asset's disastrous campaign back on track. I'm trying really hard not to be paranoid or conspiratorial, and to be clear: I haven't read or heard this anywhere, it's just what has been on my mind since the news broke. The guy sounds like the perfect person to trick into this kind of attack, to discredit Ukraine while fanning the flames of trump worship. Thankfully Ukrainians are well-versed at dealing with this kind of psy-op (they're way ahead of the West in this respect) and I imagine they'll know how to deal with it.

  2384.  @Snutz.D  Since the news first broke I've had the nagging feeling that this is putin's gift to his US asset... to be perfectly clear, I haven't heard or read this anywhere, and I really don't want to be paranoid or help spread conspiracies - I'm just sharing my gut feeling. From what I've read about the gunman, he sounds like the perfect person to groom into this kind of thing, to fuel doubt about Ukraine while fanning the dying embers of trump worship.
    2
  2385. The problem with trying to "denazify" a country that is almost completely - there's plenty of evidence - free of nazis, is that the russians ended up completely nazifying themselves. Though they'd been heading that way for years: there's also plenty of evidence that putin's been systematically supporting far-right movements all over the globe, since he first came into power.

Since then I've become better at countering this "Slavic brotherhood" thing whenever it comes up - it irritates me to see so many people from outside the region pick up on this piece of language and regurgitate it without thinking.

  2391.  @aricardonery69  The russian federation is not the soviet union. By that logic, Ukraine and all other post-soviet countries should have also automatically become part of the UN Security Council.
    2
  2392.  @aricardonery69  Yes but so what? The russian federation is supposed to be a new country, right...?
    2
  2393.  @aricardonery69  The russian federation is either the same country as the soviet union (and therefore the russian empire) or it's not. It can't be both. As for "what does the un do anyways?" I see your point. But I also see what it could have done on this occasion, and didn't, because the rf blocked it.
    2
  2394. ​ @TruthfullySpoken-mx5nf  Once russian forces have withdrawn to 1991 borders and the rf has ceased all hostilities and returned all captives, martial law will be lifted in the country and Ukraine will be able to hold presidential elections. Right now they can't, not only because of the many logistical difficulties caused by the war, but because their constitution forbids the dissolution of parliament under the martial law.

    2
  2397.  @malaficus  Yeah, we noticed. Except that russians are human too - if we keep calling them 'orcs', something I do myself sometimes, it's easy to forget that - and for the vast majority of them, motivation is zero. Even the ones who don't care about killing, don't want to die before their time. So this ever-replenishing killing machine that you're describing isn't working all that well. As for China, the possibility of them starting a war by invading Taiwan is real but has been made much less likely by Ukraine's fierce resistance to the russian invasion - while if Ukraine had caved in, that would have come in a matter of a few years. But the bit of that comment that is most definitely pro-putin propaganda isn't about this, it's "which is why they are desperate for foreign intervention and escalation". It's straight out of the rashist playbook, when nobody buys the "evil Ukrainian nazi" stereotype just recast them as pathetic and useless and not worth investing in. Ukraine is fighting the war that NATO has been bulking up to fight for decades, with a tiny fraction of the resources: there is strength is knowing what you need and asking for it in no uncertain terms. Not to mention making do with what you get even though it's decisively less than what you need.

  2399.  @roninoscuro9087  Completely out of context, true to the style of kremlin trolls (whether you are one or not). For anyone else who comes across this comment and is remotely confused by its content, please look up Timothy Snyder's lecture series The Making of Modern Ukraine - searching for that will give you a playlist, and you will then be able to select the lectures relating to the first half of the 20C. Though the whole series is well worth listening to.

  2400. Thank you, that's what I've been saying for... 4 years, I think, whenever this topic comes up. I love the fact that a mixed-race person (I'm in the UK, that's what we say) in a mixed-race marriage is running for the highest office in, let's face it, the most powerful country in the world. Obviously her policies, qualifications, experience and skills are what matters here, but I think her personal background gives her the chance to connect with so many people, see things from multiple points of view, and that is invaluable.

  2405. @DasD80 Then you'll giving trump a hand up. What do you think will happen in the Middle East with trump back in power? And I say that while full of rage and grief at what Biden is allowing to happen to the Palestinian people. That doesn't change the fact that if I could, I would vote for Harris/Walz. trump can simply not be allowed to win - and if he does, I doubt anyone will praise you for your moral high ground when you tell them you wasted your vote.
    2
  2406.  @mytarot2888  What's racist about noting that as a foreigner, I can make out more words when I hear russian spoken by Belarusians than by citizens of the rf? Did I at any point suggest that Belarusians speak it better - or worse? Belarusian is closer to Ukrainian than to russian, so as someone learning Ukrainian it's not surprising that I would find the cadence of russian spoken by Belarusians a little easier to navigate. I'm wondering whether you felt obliged to insult me because by spelling "russian" with a small initial, or simply by the fact that I'm learning Ukrainian, I am expressing my support for a country that the rf is currently attempting to wipe off the face of the earth by genocide it's people.

  2421. Meanwhile, if they'd had everything they asked for 18 months ago, the war would be over by now. And if our countries had protected the integrity of Ukraine's borders as promised back in 2014 when the invasion actually started, the mass-scale invasion would never have taken place. We owe Ukraine. Besides, unless russia resoundingly loses this war, they will do this again and again. Not supporting Ukraine is as idiotic as doing nothing about climate change.

  2422. He will win if not enough people vote for Harris across the country. And unless she doesn't also win the house and senate, she won't be able to make the changes that need to be made.
    2
  2423.  @PrinceChaloner  Considering the way they've been treated for so long (again: on their own land, and also in full view of the rest of the world, which has done next to nothing about Israel's constant human rights violations), it is not surprising that many Palestinians would come to support a hardline organisation like Hamas. From their point of view, what's happening now is Israelis experiencing what life is like for most Palestinians most of the time. I do NOT support what's happening at the moment, not least because it will only make things worse for Palestinians and everyone's suffering is off the scale. But we can't lose sight of the whole picture.
    2
  2424.  @cd4227  Or even better, watch the ones published by the Office of the President of Ukraine - they put out several copies, one always has Ukrainian sign language and only auto-generated Ukrainian subs (which you can translate anyway), another has dedicated English subtitles on it. There's even one with a decent English voiceover, which I only ever hear by mistake because personally I'd rather read subtitles and learn a bit of Ukrainian. But there are options.

  2425. When, at the time of soviet Ukraine? Please send a reference, I would like to read more about that.

  2427.  @bluedistortions  I really don't know why some men have this idea of feminist activism being some sort of "protected species"... Whether online or irl, being an outspoken feminist can be absolute hell. Trust me on that one.
    2
  2428.  @JackDenfeldWood  If you are a genuine supporter of Ukraine, please don't feed the trolls with comments like this. He doesn't usually report on fluid situations, to avoid having to correct himself 2 days later, and/or complicating an already hard situation for the guys on the ground. He does report on Ukrainian mistakes and failures, when it's appropriate to do so and he has enough solid info to make a whole video out of it.
    2
  2429. I do appreciate your channel Jay, but I must admit that as I watch this, my blood is boiling on behalf of all the people across the world who also feel this way about their own countries, but have horrifying experiences and in some cases lose everything they worked for and even their lives, just trying to do what the folks in this video are planning to do. Not a single one of these Americans is expressing the slightest anxiety about how they're going to reach their desired country, and whether they'll be able to stay there and make a decent life for themselves. Some acknowledgement of this immense privilege would have been nice to hear.

  2432. No, it's a well-known spot near the Belarusian border - some of the locals line the road when they know the buses are on their way, with flags and welcome signs. But some of the families don't know if their loved ones will be there or not, because as Caolan says here, russia intentionally neglects communication (while russian prisoners in Ukraine get phonecalls home and all that). Some of the prisoners who are exchanged were down as missing in action, for example.

  2436. Best contact the guys who organise donations and buy drones for the UAF... do you follow people like Prytula or Sternenko? Or anyone fundraising for their own unit - I follow a lovely guy from Kholodniy Yar, the channel is Motolife (it was a biking channel that he repurposed when he joined up on 25.02.22). It's in Ukrainian but with dedicated English subs that are a bit better than autotranslate. There's also Madyar, the great drone daddy of the UAF 😊
    2
  2437.  @Strateg-rc1il  I'm honestly trying to make sense of your comment. I do realise that some Ukrainians really don't like Zelenskyy and even fewer like Yermak - I know some of them in person and have been having these conversations, as well as paying attention to a number of Ukrainian sources. Nor am I one of Zelenskyy's foreign worshippers, but I have no reason to hate him and I objectively see that he didn't abandon his country when he easily could have. What I really don't see is how these guys are "surrendering the country", when they consistently state the same position and keep negotiating on behalf of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
    2
  2438.  @DividendFiend  Well, they have been turning down people with no combat experience. If at some point they started turning down experienced fighters that would be an interesting development, I'd like to know your source so I can look into it. Thanks.

  2441. Great journalism. Thanks for the excellent subtitles, my Ukrainian is still not good enough to understand this kind of content as well as I want to understand it. Shady, unaccountable individuals with excessive amounts of power are not unique to Ukraine (I grew up in Italy - I live in the UK - just trust me on that one), but I understand that in the situation Ukraine is in, it is crucial that they are dealt with swiftly, and I know that right-thinking Ukrainians can make that happen.

  2445. I don't usually copy and paste my comments but in this case it's appropriate. So, from just above: I noticed that too, but it's not like they claimed that had just happened. It was just an opener to the video, to show the kind of thing that the russian forces produce and use to intimidate men into obeying
    2
  2446. Any indications from the video or comment section that people are denying that huge damage that Ukraine takes every day? We know, it's why we're angry. How about you wake up and stop soft trolling for putin, because that's a vile thing to be doing with your life.
    2
  2447.  @hoodatdondar2664  Thank you, I agree, however I must add that I do care about those 'fringe' places - they have people in them. And those people don't belong to russia any more than Ukrainians do, regardless of which countries join NATO one day. Also, since this war is 'apparently' about who was where hundreds of years ago, I have kind of been looking forward to Mongolians taking the hint and marching into Moscow 🙂
    2
  2448.  @jeffa391  Except that Ukraine started resisting before the West stepped in - that's why the West stepped in - which is a strong indication that even if the West decided to walk away, they would keep fighting. Not that Western leaders would do that - they know people will kick their arses into the next century if they even try. I think you'll have to find yourself another job before your employer goes bust

  2453.  @unfathomablyunfathomable  Absolutely. I'm not suggesting it would be a good thing overall, only that it may have this silver lining. We do need to keep shouting about this to make sure Ukraine is not forgotten. Ukrainian politicians also seem to be doing a good job of highlighting Ukraine's place in the global landscape.

  2455.  @ChristopherR236  What makes you think that?
    2
  2456. It is a democracy. Ukraine is a democracy at war, under attack from a genocidal neighbour. It's ridiculous to expect them to behave exactly as if they were at peace. How about telling Putin and his supporters that they should cease hostilities right now and return all captives and occupied territories? That will stop the war pretty quickly. After that there will elections in Ukraine.

  2461.  @emillio_gonzales  Serfdom is a form of slavery. And serfdom in the russian empire was much worse than in medieval Great Britain, though clearly different from the Transatlantic Slave Trade. You may have noticed that countries like the UK and the USA are no longer engaging in appalling practices such as enserfment, famine and population displacement - "once a vile empire, always a vile empire" is not a maxim that anybody sane lives by.

  2462.  @D-Dirt  I very much want to insult russia. russia has brought it upon itself. And this "part of something bigger for centuries" schtick is utter bs. Unless you think that Ireland, the Caribbean, India and much of Africa should still be in the British empire

  2471.  @Patriot141  Didn't she have to get a campaign off the ground in a fraction of the time anyone in her position normally has? She prioritized talking to Americans all over the country. Meanwhile, barely any of trump's interviews and press conferences can be said to count as such, because he - much like putin, incidentally - clearly only answers questions asked by "yes people", and when he finds himself questioned by proper, serious journalists all he can he do is throw a ridiculous and offensive tantrum.

  2473.  @InterviewsWithTheAncients  The country that has given the most to Ukraine is actually Estonia. They've been giving the largest proportion of their GDP, and for longer than any other country, I believe. Most other countries including the US sat back and waited for Ukraine to "prove its worth" before they started doing anything useful.

  2479. Not yet not yet everybody needs to get out and vote for her - or she won't.

  2480.  @silkaverage  I'm vegan and I gave it a like
    2
  2481.  @brentdubecalgary5084  you make 0 sense
    2
  2482. You are most probably one of putin's trolls
    2
  2483.  @zhiyuuuu9383  that is literally what the whole comment is about
    2
  2484.  @Mopsisgone  Thanks for the tip!☺️
    2
  2485.  @imamsuchapro6114  It's common knowledge. Many people on these threads follow Reporting from Ukraine with very reliable, fact-checked daily updates. The guy reported those recent losses of territory and more recently reported how Ukrainians are taking that back. If you are a supporter of Ukraine, learn the difference between information, discussion and scaremongering
    2
  2486. Before they realise in sufficiently large numbers - social change needs a critical mass of people, and that's what they don't have. The rf has an enourmous police force, there must be more cops than people who think like those in this video
    2
  2487. Congratulations, you posted a trolltrap! And they all seem to be hallucinating🤣 Слава Україні 💙💛
    2
  2488. I've been following on YT since the beginning, and that double jingle used to "frame" the ads that obviously figure on the podcast. They were always skippable in YT thanks to the timestamps, but at some point they got taken out. The frame remained, though.
    2
  2489. This is a troll account. Probably sponsored by putin.
    2
  2490.  @championknife  🥱
    2
  2491. After he got back from being sick for a month he stopped voicing the videos himself. I'm learning Ukrainian, and one of the welcome side-effects of watching his updates every day was the tutorials on Ukrainian place names... early this year that changed, now those pronunciations are mess even though his voice, accent and cadence are reproduced pretty well. I'm going to email the channel about it because so many people are commenting on it, I'm worried it may be hurting the channel's credibility. It's pronounced RobOtyne / Робо́тине from the Ukrainian dictionary.
    2
  2492.  @meso8848  Actually, because people who support Ukraine are by and large aware of the history, we can immediately tell your comment is complete and utter bs
    2
  2493.  @Rtg5637  Accusing people of being "Ukraine zombie fans"is one more thing that marks you out as a kremlin troll. Keep going, you're doing really well 🤣
    2
  2494.  @jonnelson9760  That's equally possible. I'm used to his accent - and to accented English in general - but it did confuse me for a fraction of a second, until I saw the graphics. That's why I thought I'd give @tariq4801 the benefit of the doubt 🙂
    2
  2495.  @highphysics3617  Thank you!
    2
  2496.  @RSCSBIB  Good luck trying to make Democrats angry about having Kamala Harris as their candidate... you may have noticed how happy tens of millions of people have been since she stepped in.
    2
  2497.  @Бытьдобру-ц9э  and the russian federation is literally decomposing
    2
  2498.  @winnieblews  NATO is not in Ukraine. Ukrainians are a nation and have been independent for decades, after fighting for their independence for centuries. The notion that NATO is "forcing" them into defending their existence is as ridiculous as it is insulting.
    2
  2499. This man is a genius and so are his writers! This was such a bad news day, and he still made me laugh... I'm going to bed now, without looking at another thing.

  2500. ​ @beliyapelsin  Thanks but we do understand, and failing that there's always YT translator. Вивчаючи українську, мені завжди приємно знайти коментарі українською. Слава Україні 💙💛

  2501. Thank you well said
    2
  2502.  aproudturkgirl  I did see that! ❤
    2
  2503. I rarely copy and paste my own comments but you trolls really are repetitive. So, from just above: There are plenty of news stories about Ukranian men trying to evade the draft, if you're really interested in this topic go look them up instead of trolling YT comment sections. How is this "Zelensky's war"? He's doing his job, the job an overwhelming majority of Ukrainians voted for him to do in a free and fair election that took place less than 5 years ago. It's worth noting that the minority of Ukrainians who are unimpressed with Zelensky (I know some personally) is made up in large part of people who don't think he was "russophobic enough" before the start of the full-scale invasion and that he's not purging the cabinet and authorities of openly pro-putin individuals.
    2
  2504.  @cerdic6586  🤣 Ukrainians don't need bots, they have countless millions of real people on their side💙💛
    2
  2505. What utter rubbish.
    2
  2506.  @Kravit_87  Not yet. That's why we need to keep shouting, protesting, pushing until it becomes the norm for everyone to be allowed to live in peace regardless of their gender and the gender of who they love.
    2
  2507.  @flyingluftwaffe9617  Thank you, it's good to know I'm not the only one making this point, because it does get wearying at times! ❤️
    2
  2508.  @QANews  you are literally trolling for Putin and everyone can see that
    2
  2509. Good to know you ship to the UK! As soon as I've paid my rent I'll buy something. Mate, if I win the lottery you'll be one of the first to know, I appreciate your work more than I can say. Слава захисникам України! Вони захищають весь світ💙💛

  2510. Thank you, I'd forgotten about the clocks changing... as I do every year 🤣
    2
  2511. Pokrovsk is under Ukrainian control. You know, like Sudja
    2
  2512.  @Hasan-jf7by  I agree with what you're saying here but Ukraine isn't actually losing the war - it's just not achieving the cinematic success that Western countries need to remain engaged at the critical level needed by Ukraine.
    2
  2513. I agree with you ​ @abodabalo  My problem here was how some people were automatically dismissing that comment as coming from a troll, when it really doesn't sound like it - and maybe that's a clever troll, but it also could just be a Ukrainian who is understandably sick of the West blowing hot and cold in its support for Ukraine. Anger and extreme distress will make people think all sorts of things, and anyone outside of Ukraine right now has no right to dismiss that as some people have with this
    2
  2514. @halychanka_mamochka Thanks! Just listened to Козаки - they're good
    2
  2515.  @damiondee1  I envy you! I missed them when they were in the UK
    2
  2516.  @ironandzinc  For people interested in factual history, Timothy Snyder's excellent lectures on the Making of Modern Ukraine are all accessible on YT (thank you Yale University). Class 8 - Early Jews of Modern Ukraine - will give you the background you need to argue with people who make statements like the one I'm replying to here. Слава Україні 💙💛

  2519. I agree with you 100%, and reported the troll's reply to your comment as hate speech. Україна назавжди 💙💛
    2
  2520. @ Luckily for me, I'm not in or from the US. Love from the UK
    2
  2521. Which is why it was an autonomous region within Ukraine - and will be again

  2522.  @sweetmom9845  Thanks for demonstrating every single thing we already knew about putin's maga trolls.
    2
  2523.  @michaelnoviello6302  Nope. Most people feel overwhelming relief to have two sane and functioning adults running for the highest office in the land.
    2
  2524.  @regular-joe  In the UK, when Dominic Raab (Conservative politician, recently ousted for bullying his coworkers) was Justice Minister, it turned out he didn't even know the exact meaning of "misogyny" ... "whether it's directed at men or women" I believe were his words 😖😠
    2
  2525.  @ademirrodriguez4209  Who told you that people who post on YouTube aren't also doing a bunch of other to support Ukraine prevail over the demented mob boss that pays your wages?
    2
  2526.  @fcockroach  Italy only became a state in the second half of the 19th century, but has existed for centuries. Your point again...?
    2
  2527. Didn't musk senior do the same? But that seems a completely different thing to me.
    2
  2528.  @hardywatkins7737  Have you heard him speak about his new book? A philosophical rather than historical exploration of freedom, he's been working on it while travelling around Ukraine. I can't wait ☺
    2
  2529.  @hardywatkins7737  Thank you 😊 that's from 8 years ago and that makes it even more interesting and important now... I had a quick scroll through the comments just now and it got some positive "reviews" from Ukrainians earlier this year, I'll definitely listen in the next few days. If you listen to the lecture about freedom, let me know what you think! 💙💛
    2
  2530.  @livingtribunal4110  You might want to do that yourself. Some of us have made it our business to inform ourselves. That's how we know you're talking bs
    2
  2531.  @livingtribunal4110  Why don't you look up "genocide"? It's exactly what putin is doing in Ukraine
    2
  2532.  @ТанечкаНовчик  How to tell us you get your news from the kremlin 🤣
    2
  2533. It's not about profit, those were the cargo planes used last year to overwhelm Ukrainian defenses in the east, they are hugely valuable to russia from that point of view
    2
  2534.  @stephen4355  I think that may have been sarcasm
    2
  2535.  @francispeter8169  Or about anything else, by the sound of it 🤣

  2536. Muslim have absolutely nothing to do with what happened to those children... and the guy charged with their murders is not an immigrant, he was born and raised in the UK by parents who came to the country as refugees a long time ago, and were well integrated in British society. Shortly after the murders, someone who used to be their neighbour spoke of them very kindly. What has happened since then is just shameful.
    2
  2537. Congratulations, you posted a trolltrap 😁💙
    2
  2538. Aid, apparently - a few other folks in the comment section have posted more info on that
    2
  2539. This is emotional... and I'm speaking as an atheist who lives in the UK. Utmost respect for these people. Слава Україні! 🖤❤

  2540. the russian federation is an artificial agglomerated country, that keeps forgetting its own borders and is run by the biggest mafia cartel on the planet

  2541. So do I! Love and respect from London. Переможете 💙💛
    2
  2542.  @herballycorrect  What an utterly ridiculous comment. The quality of putin's trolls is going downhill fast
    2
  2543.  @johannesmajamaki2626  Timothy Snyder. His lecture series The Making of Modern Ukraine, delivered last year at Yale, is simply brilliant. All on YT in case you're not already familiar with it
    2
  2544. Я люблю українську мову і дуже стараюся, щоб її добре вивчити! Я вражена тим, що Ісса так вільно розмовляє українською! Багато любові та поваги з Лондона. Ви переможете 💙💛
    2
  2545. You should watch more than a few videos, this channel is very honest and accurate in everything it reports, though obviously it keeps a positive outlook on Ukraine's position.
    2
  2546. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-YKRc_b7CE for the number of civilian and overall casualties of the Donbass conflict 2014-2021 - just because I'm sick of people dredging up random figures from who knows where to undermine support for Ukraine in this war. You can fact check every single claim in this video because Operator Starsky is very clear about his sources. I'm not replying directly to the trolls in this comment section because they're not worth it, I'm posting this for people who are interested in actual information and are in control of their own brain. Слава Україні
    2
  2547. Nevermind trump for a minute (and I do have to tell myself that several times a day): European countries, as well as others like Japan and South Korea for example, need to step up and significantly support Ukraine. trump and his entourage need to get the message that they don't get to tell Ukraine and its true allies what to do. I am heartily sick of the USA, I gave that country the benefit of the doubt for the last time in the runup to this year's election. If they want to turn into a full-on oligarch-led, corrupt, demented cleptocracy like the rf, they can go ahead, but like the rf, they don't have the right to turn other countries into a version of that.

  2548.  @davidserlin8097  My pleasure. I only know because I watched that clip of Mayor Pete on Fox

  2549.  @rudolphsherkliff8726  🤣 I love you
    2
  2550.  @bbcua  I watched that, probably shortly after it was uploaded... I've been learning for over two years now (apologies for writing in English, I don't have a Ukrainian keyboard on my laptop). Thank you for your work, you make good content ☺
    2
  2551. I have come to almost appreciate your comments because, unlike those of other trolls, they look as deranged as their content. Україна переможе 💙💛

  2554. As I type this I'm listening to Kozak System's Наш маніфест (this gorgeous live version from last summer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxl8jB68oKg), as I always do to reset my brain after someone comes up with the 'slavic brotherhood' thing... the first words are literally "Нах*й слов’янське братство і дружбу" 😆 I don't even have a Slavic background! I'm an Italian Brit who started learning Ukrainian last year. I've been watching lots of Ukraine-related content, partly for news, partly for the language, and in less than 12 months I've already become allergic to that phrase. I don't feel I have the right to judge older Ukrainians who may use it out of habit, but I see how it's been weaponised by russia and when people get angry about that, I really understand. Слава Україні! I wish you all the best 💙💛
    2
  2555. Thank you, I agree.
    2
  2556. I think they do - I've watched other 1420 videos where people had their faces blurred, some even their voices altered
    2
  2557.  @wederMaxim  Mate... I know you will never allow yourself to consider believing this, but I have to say it anyway: there really was no stream of hatred coming from 'the west' until russia brought it upon itself by committing unspeakable atrocities.
    2
  2558.  @mr.sa7anserv606  🤣 thank you I needed that 🤣 I'll have to go back and watch some of those videos now
    2
  2559.  @yellowtunes2756  🤣 oh my days...so many trolls.... Україна назавжди💙💛
    2
  2560.  @yellowtunes2756  I was expecting putin bots to be a bit anxious and overworked after Zelensky's visit to Washington but this is off the scale...are you OK? Maybe ask your boss for sick leave. Oh, no, wait
    2
  2561.  @tomorrowneverdies567  Not unlike the way the original comment didn't mention anything about Africans or Asians, but you did in your reply... What, other people can't do that, only you? Besides, I simply took the closest thing to a logic in your replies and took it to its most likely conclusion. If you don't like that conclusion, think before your type (or at least before you click on "reply").

  2568.  @nickfielding5685  Crimea and the Donbas were occupied by proxy russian forces in 2014, as russians themselves have freely admitted since. I don't know how Zelensky would have broken the Budapest memorandum by recognising Kosovo, that literally makes no sense. Scotland is a nation in the UK that does have a strong independence movement, and I'm sure that once it does manage to achieve and declare independence, it will be recognised. Same with Wales. The problem with Catalonia is that they declared independence after holding a referendum without the permission of the Spanish government, and sadly with the way things work in the world at present, that's not a good idea. Kindly tell us what the russian federation would do to any of its regions that decided to declare independence, for example Tatarstan or Ichkeria... oh, wait. Yeah. *Palestine*, which very much exists, other commenter in this thread who I otherwise would have agreed with, is a nation that's been occupied by a terrorist fascist state for decades, with the full co-operation of a number of supposedly civilized countries including the US and the UK. In my unwavering support of Palestine I never for a single minute forget that the obliteration of Ukraine at the hands of russia would not help Palestinians one jot.
    2
  2569.  @emmaizu4406  Sure. But that's not the same as having "boots on the ground" or air protection from the armed forces of other countries. The only foreigners fighting in Ukraine for Ukraine are volunteers.
    2
  2570.  @Romd228  Here is the bot
    2
  2571.  @Uthic  Why? It depends on the source. Where do you go to learn about people in other countries?
    2
  2572.  @АлексейНечаев-у6ь  Clearly you're determined to see and paint this man in a negative light - I wonder if someone's paying you to do that, or if you do it for free. From a point of view without prejudice, it's obvious that this man is a huge asset to the Armed Forces and the Ukrainian State in the position he's in now. Besides, he's already risked his life and liberty for his country, remember?
    2
  2573. But what's that poor guy supposed to say - "Yes, clearly they're about to invade"? Most of the population would flee that area, Venezuala would definitely invade, and the rest of Guyana - not a rich country - would be full of internally displaced people while trying to defend itself. I remember Zelensky trying to play down US warnings of an imminent invasion, and I'm not saying he's never made mistakes (I'm not one of those Westerners who worship him and anyway, I know too many Ukrainians, they wouldn't let me!), but I understood his position at the time, and I understand it now. Apologies for replying in English, my Ukrainian isn't good enough to say this kind of thing and I don't have a Ukrainian keyboard on my laptop. Please don't let the enemy divide you. You can and will win. 💙💛
    2
  2574. I really appreciate the detail 😲☺💙💛
    2
  2575. How much did you get paid to copy and paste this one pathetic comment all over the comment section?
    2
  2576.  @Sole650  trump is working for the lower class...?? Where are you from, Victorian England?
    2
  2577.  @jgreen2015  Actually the Italian language has three single words for different shades of blue: 'blu' is a catch-all for a darker blue, 'azzurro' as you have described (a word much more commonly used than 'azure' in English), and 'celeste' for a paler shade, 'baby-blue' I suppose, also works when the sky is not so bright but still clear. My English is more fluent than my Italian and is definitely my dominant language, but whenever I hear people say 'sky-blue' part of my brain is always confused about which 'blue' they mean: azzurro? Celeste? Speaking of which, like everyone else I've seen lots of Ukraine flags over the past year, some new, some old and weathered, on my screen, irl... and the shade of blue seems to vary. Sometimes 'blu', other times 'azzurro' or even 'celeste': I haven't come across this variation with other national flags, I'm intrigued.
    2
  2578.  @jgreen2015  Yes, I would say 'celeste' has a pastel quality, like one of those baby blankets 'for boys', or a clear sky at the end of the day, when it's still light but the brightness of the 'azzurro' has faded. I translate Italian into English, and translating colour can be tricky, so one thing I tend to do when not sure how to render something like this is an internet search of the word: if you want to see the difference between the hues defined by those three Italian words, just type them into a search engine, one at a time, and compare what comes up (I've just done that, adding the word 'colore' to narrow it down to colour-related results) ☺
    2
  2579.  @nic.h  Well said! Your reply is the only reason I decided not to report the troll comment for misinformation.
    2
  2580.  @montegrifo  How long ago is 40 generations back? (honest question, I find genealogy fascinating but bewildering, math isn't my strong point either) It seems very recent for everyone on Earth to still have had the same ancestors.
    2
  2581. The one who started with "How long has Ukraine been around"? 😊 She caught even Danil for a couple of seconds... and I have a feeling he enjoyed that
    2
  2582. Maybe not in the city... are there more luxury properties in the countryside?
    2
  2583. I imagine it's partly a question of branding - his face became the face of the channel early on - and partly the enduring affection that millions of Ukrainians still have for Zaluzhnyy.
    2
  2584. That's a very good point - I recommend emailing the channel about it, because they may not get through the whole comment section, they must be so busy
    2
  2585.  @jaimerocha4791  You're welcome! It's really important, and particularly close to my heart because earlier this year I was lucky to meet the wonderful Ukrainian writer Viktoria Amelina, who died of injuries sustained in the missile attack on that pizzeria in Kramatorsk at the end of June 😢She was having dinner with a delegation of writers and journalists from Latin America, and together they were working on cultural strategies to counter russian propaganda among Latin American communities. Good luck and thank you for standing with Ukraine 💙💛
    2
  2586.  @fabb5  I call you a troll because you are a troll, and demonstrate it in every single comment you post. I often disagree with comments that I can tell were not written by trolls, and when I'm not sure I even give them the benefit of the doubt.
    2
  2587.  @ZXHZ  Joined 24 Oct 2023 For "both sides" start following Ukrainian counterpropagandists like Sternenko, whose videos are usually subtitled and include and analyse clips for a variety of russian sources. Ukrainian "ego" = survival and self-determination russian "ego" = cleptocracy, colonialism, genocide
    2
  2588. Hardly comparable - other than in Assange's oversized ego, I imagine
    2
  2589.  @danielarcadia7243  🤣
    2
  2590. It is. Sternenko has made a few very informative videos about Kazakhstan, the latest was a day or two ago.
    2
  2591.  @Summer-o7j  What gave you the impression that they were "happy" about that?
    2
  2592.  @AstasiiaUkna  He's great. I discovered him through Operator Starsky, who made a video with him a while ago. Really interesting to hear him talk about his background and motivation
    2
  2593.  @richardthomas5362  It's worth pointing out that plenty of other crops are grown in Ukraine... as far as I understand, sunflowers have been grown there for a relatively short time.
    2
  2594. He literally chose to stay in his country and face the constant threat of assassination rather than abandon his people to a genocidal invasion
    2
  2595.  @alexanderlazarev3570  A chance neither of them is taking up, as far as I - and the whole world - can see. Or are you just upset that putin doesn't have that chance anymore, because he'll get arrested pretty much wherever he goes?
    2
  2596.  @alexanderlazarev3570  Your selective reading of the comments you reply to is impressive even for a russian troll. There's no need for me to contradict you, anyone who can read will know what I did and didn't write - just like anyone in the world with access to internet or TV can see that Zelensky has not abandoned his country (whatever they make of it is up to them).
    2
  2597. Don't worry Arseniy, Ukraine will build the wall 😁
    2
  2598. Oh and I forgot to mention the "French-who-used-to-live-in-Ukraine" backstory of this account... I think if a troll is so attached to their backstory, they shouldn't let any of their troll farm colleagues use the handle.
    2
  2599. What I loved most in this interview, after the brilliant content, was watching these two embarass each with praise... it honestly melted my heart.
    2
  2600.  @Mopsisgone  "madame" ☺
    2
  2601.  @Mopsisgone  No problem! And thanks ☺ (I've noticed I end up being "male by default" when I comment on political matters online... sometimes I let it slide, sometimes it spares me a bit of extra trolling, but generally I think it's good to remind people that women also have opinion on political matters)
    2
  2602. He wasn't ranting, he was speaking his mind. Also look at when he died: I doubt Zelenskyy was even thinking about running for president in 2015. This singer was mentioned to me some time ago, I have a feeling he was murdered and many people are still mourning him because he was so well loved and respected
    2
  2603. Here we go again... If Ukrainians stop defending themselves they will be obliterated. They know it, the whole world knows it, and you, like all those posting various shades of putin propaganda, know it too. There can only be peace for Ukraine and the world once russia has withdrawn from every square metre of Ukrainian territory, abandoned all hostilities, returned every single hostage and started paying reparations. And all the warmongers and their propagandists are on trial for war crimes.
    2
  2604. This is so plausible and well put that I honestly can't tell if it's a joke or not... If it is, it's pretty good 😂 If it's true... really? Who was it this time?
    2
  2605.  @wabw4h  Will you just stop feeling sorry for yourself and get on with your life? I'm so sick of transphobic whining. And I say this as someone who's quite critical of some aspects of the trans rights movement. But saying "a man will never be a woman" is the same as saying that trans women don't exist (and also trans men, who are basically hardly ever mentioned), and that's a dog whistle to anyone who's inclined to attack people seen as "lesser beings". So yes, it is hate speech.
    2
  2606.  @ItsAWonder-jz1nd For pathetic, maybe look at orange jesus playing golf on Labor Day while the other side held what...? Three rallies? But I suppose being called "pathetic" by maga trolls counts as praise
    2
  2607. After Ukraine's victory.
    2

  2613.  @mort1122  "hit piece" is another one of those soundbites... It's called "investigative journalism", "undercover reporting" - the sort of thing that needs to be done with cults, or organised crime groups. And Tate's tribe is starting to look like both.

  2615. A huge part of myotivation forearning Ukrainian is wanting to follow Ukrainian sources, because I was so frustrated with the BBC within weeks of the full invasion starting... When I found this channel I was SO happy. Still learning the language though 💙💛
    2
  2616. How was it a fatal mistake to ensure the national language was taught in all schools? Especially considering that those areas were aggressively russified under the soviet union, and the muscovite empire before it.
    2
  2617.  @gregtriplex5878  Solid attempt at derailing a discussion with irrelevant analogies. The aggressive russification of Ukraine stretches further than the American revolution, and continued until quite recently. And unlike the US, it's had its own language and culture for a very, very long time, which the muscovite empire followed by the soviet union made repeated and very violent attempts to suppress. Just one example of this is stalin having hundreds of Ukrainian writers, artists and intellectuals rounded up and murdered in the 1930s: if you type "executed renaissance" into a search engine, Ukraine comes up. Inform yourself before writing drivel online. And not only about Ukraine: your China-Taiwan example is laughable.
    2
  2618.  @gregtriplex5878  The mental gymnastics involved in writing this convoluted, ridiculous comment is the only impressive thing about it. Other than that, it's absolute drivel from start to finish. Ukraine was colonised by the soviet union, just as it (and many other territories) had been colonised by the muscovite empire before it. Ukraine has always had its own distinct culture, history and LANGUAGE, that the muscovites in their various incarnations have tried again and again to suppress. These are basic historical facts. "Divide and rule" is indeed a powerful weapon that's been employed by empires throughout history, all over the world, and it's exactly what putin has been trying to do to Ukraine since 2014. And considering how good he and his gang are at psyops, it is testament to the underlying strength of Ukrainian identity that they have not yet succeeded. Finally, if the russian federation is, as you say, not "sovyet", why did it automatically inherit the soviet union's seat in the UN Security Council? putin himself has said repeatedly that he sees the end of the soviet union as the greatest tragedy of the 20th century, and is undeniably trying to bring back some sort of monstrous hybrid of the soviet union and muscovite empire. One of the ways he has got to this point has been to reinvent history to suit his rhetoric, and in that, he's been getting help from people like yourself.
    2
  2619.  @gregtriplex5878  Do you ever run out of total rubbish to post on YouTube...? No intel op has ever been carried out to "divide" Ukraine from russia... there was no need! Ukraine never wanted to be part of russia. They would have been neighbours, but russia doesn't know how to be a neighbour, and now the country, its language and its culture are hated and reviled not only in Ukraine but in many other parts of the world.

  2625.  @FunnyBunny-pd5xx  What rubbish. Those cars were not "confiscated" and Khan wasn't "forced" by the British government to donate them to Ukraine. Londoners upgrading to less polluting vehicles can claim back £1,000 (I think - I'm a Londoner but not a driver), when their old vehicle is scrapped. They were already at liberty to donate those cars to Ukraine instead of having them scrapped, but the legislation needed for people to still receive that money after donating their old vehicle to Ukraine was not in place. Obviously the Tories never miss an opportunity to try and make Khan look bad because they so desperately don't want him to win a historic third term as Mayor of London. Khan never had anything against sending those cars to Ukraine, and now that the legislation is finally in place, that's what's happening. End of. Stop trolling.

  2627. That's why they were able to openly protest. It sounds like there are well-developed activist networks that will hopefully make sure the footage spreads far and wide back home - people have to feel they're not alone before they even consider an uprising.

  2631.  @guylabesseuille2716  Well it seems I have to explain a couple of things to you. When you post on a comment section, you are essentially addressing anyone who reads your comment. It is absolutely your right to give your opinion to the author of the videos, but if you are, as you seem to be, too fragile to handle how other people may perceive your opinion and/or the way you expressed it, try emailing the channel instead. Or your feedback will simply not be private. Also, no one needs to your permission to say what they think about anything, including you and your feedback to a YT channel. Not to mention the fact that what you wrote touches, in the most pedestrian, uninformed way, on the issue of Ukrainian military losses, a figure the government has decided to keep secret until the cessation of hostilities, because doing so gives them an advantage in the deeply asymmetric conflict started by the russian federation. Obviously all reputable sources of information, like this channel, will follow suit. Your initial comment was profoundly ignorant. Your response is just ridiculous.

  2653. I remember being taken to Florence when I was little - not as exotic as it may sound, my mother is from Tuscany and her folks still live near the city - and we visited the Central Market, which pre-gentrification (sigh) was still a huge, noisy, wonderful place with one floor devoted to fruit and vegetables and the other to meats and cheeses. The sort of market where retailers would go first thing in the morning to stock up, but that also sold directly to the public. As I was being led around by the hand, I looked up and... saw a row of severed boars' heads laid out on a stall 😱 It took me a moment to even piece together what I was seeing - then came the screams! I'm sure that experience contributed to me going vegan some 25 years later. I was SO relieved you didn't find the boar's head, Max, is what I'm saying 😂

    2
  2655.  @devansa125  The funny thing is that nobody needs you to tell them that some Ukrainian soldiers often communicate in russian - we know . I've seen some battlefields videos, and also follow a number a number of military bloggers who do sometimes talk about language - some have Ukrainian as a first language, some russian, some habitually speak surzhyk, and switch from one to the other as the situation requires. In a crisis it makes sense to use one's easiest language, and which language that is depends on the person at that particular moment (for me, for example, my easiest language is my second, not my first). You don't actually deserve this much typing - I'm writing this for anyone else who may come across this thread at some point. And in that spirit, I'll mention a language-related fact that happened in Ukraine a month or so ago: a well-know university lecturer, blogger and TV personality (Iryna Farion) lost her job after stating in an interview that any Ukrainian who still speaks russian, she does not consider to be Ukrainian; she singled out russian speakers in the armed forces. And while she did get some public support, overall Ukrainians didn't like that at all, and nor did the authorities and her employer. So much for the persecution of russian speakers in Ukraine.
    2
  2656.  @devansa125  What rubbish. It is obvious to anyone paying even passing attention that there is no civil war in Ukraine, not even the one that putin & co have been trying to fuel for years. And no russian-speaking person is or ever will be a second class citizen of Ukraine, as long as they follow the law and use Ukrainian when required, i.e. when providing a service to others. Which they will be able to do, because most Ukrainians are bilingual. I myself have a russophone Ukrainian relative, who is really happy to see Ukrainian gaining more and more traction in the country. The current aversion to the russian language in the wider population is completely understandable, considering it's the language of the attempted genocide. Reintegration of the occupied territories will be a challenge, but there are already people working on how to do this in whatever way is best for the country and the population. No one - NO ONE - will miss the occupiers once they're gone. The collaborators will just follow them when they go, unless SBU gets to them first. It will take a while, but Ukraine will emerge from this latest attempt to destroy it, and transition into the bright future it is now fighting so hard for.

  2661.  @lauramariepeters1921  Ahhh, the impartial observers of genocide... just "regular" people. While it doesn't shock me that your kind exists (sadly I have several specimens in my social circle) I am always amazed at how you complain when you're called out. But since you seem to be expecting a serious answer to your contemptible question, here it is: they can't hold elections because they are currently at war. Zelensky - who won less than 4 years ago, I believe, with over 70% of the vote - is if anything more popular now than he was before the start of the full scale invasion. And some of the people who criticised him before 2022 did so because they thought he wasn't "russophobic enough". The majority of Ukrainians keep making it clear that they don't want to give up, because if they do, all the distruction and loss of life will have been for nothing, and a future under russia is more terrifying than what's going on at the moment. Do you really think they would vote to fall under the latest incarnation of the imperialist country that's been trying to annihilate them on and off for centuries? Please inform yourself before posting inane comments again. Deliberately not posting links because you need to research this for yourself - there are plenty of sources out there. Слава Україні 💙💛

  2663.  @LisaNH934  Absolutely. I'm not against censorship, sometimes it is by far the best option. Other times, I find that reading vile/clueless comments along with the articulate replies of sane people who take the time, helps me to navigate unpleasant conversations on the same topic irl. So when I feel clear-headed enough about something, and I have the energy, I try to put my thoughts into words for others to make up their mind.💙💛

  2666.  @johnmichaelson9173  Thank you 😊 I make throwaway comments myself at times, and I've had to accept that some of them have to power to objectify, and therefore dehumanise, others. Ukrainian women are being dehumanised twice over - not only as women, which happens to about half of the world's population and is bad enough - but also as Ukrainian women. And not just by the orcs! Some months ago for example, in the comment section of a video about a mutual support network formed by the wives and partners of dead Ukrainian soldiers, I came across a man unironically suggesting to another to "marry one of them" 🤬

  2694. Great video, thank you so much. I really want to know more about the history and symbolism of this craft, which is exactly what you covered here with beautiful visuals and as usual clear presentation. I particularly enjoyed the regional details. I thought you might mention Ivan Franko - I watched another vyshyvanka video months ago and they said he was the one who started wearing vyshyvanka shirts when walking around Lviv, when traditional embroidery had come to be seen as "something quaint from the countryside". The vyskyvanka museum is definitely on my list for my first visit to Ukraine, whenever that will be... and if I have a bit of money to spare by then I'd love to take embroidery lessons. A combined vyshyvanka and Ukrainian language workshop would be amazing!! Much love from London ☺Слава Україні💙💛

There is relief in knowing that Ukrainian high command values the lives of its soldiers, but the thought of injured Ukrainians being left behind is heart-wrenching.

  2716.  @tocu9808  The freedom to speak out against the status quo isn't as strongly connected to the economic model as many people seem to think... lots of people aren't free in capitalist countries, and I don't mean "free to oppress others / incite hatred / all that", I mean free to live decent lives and challenge the status quo. It's just that these societies are better at covering it up. Or they export the oppression: one of many examples is the huge choice of clothes and other goods we have in the global West, made by people in countries where child labour is the norm and trade unionists get arrested for trying to improve appalling working conditions. Capitalism is literally a fundamentalist philosophy, in that it doesn't accept viable alternatives to itself, and until we all start viewing it as such, we have no chance to even approach a solution that works better for people and planet.

  2717.  @madigorfkgoogle9349  There must many different factors - Africa is a big place - but I think the continent's history of Western colonialism, which is not only in the past but continues in many complicated and painful ways - makes it a lot easier for russia, and china, to present themselves as alternatives to the West. I'm just relieved to see that there are people who don't buy this narrative, as powerful as it must be.

  2718. Such a great interview! This woman rocks. And Desi is a brilliant interviewer. Congratulations to Ms Underwood for cracking her up at the end 😊

  2719.  @americanpatriot6484  Hello again kremlin troll

  2720. Ukrainians are partly descended from Vikings so that would make sense... however let's remember that Vikings were a conquering people who weren't fighting off genocide, and Ukrainians aren't fighting because they don't want to get old, they're fighting so can get old, and as free men and women, in their own country

  2721. Why do you care? Can't you just let people be? They let you be.

  2722.  @MrHand-ih4sz  Speaking of "coronations", trumps has made it very clear that once people vote him back into power, they'll "never have to vote again"...

  2723.  @annamav9700  😊 good point

  2724. The bar is low, but... yeah

  2725. ​@viktor5680 Ahh, thanks for reminding us that women in the public eye will only ever laugh too much or not enough 😑
    2
  2726.  @Fressor1  🤣 you can't be very good at your job if this is the sort of comment you're resorting to 🤣 Ukraine is one of several countries I've been able to find on a map for many years. Meanwhile, the rf isn't going to be on the map for much longer... and no, no one's going to come and "break it up": there will be no need, it's self-destructing so beautifully that all the rest of the world has to do is leave them (you?) to it. Слава Україні💙💛
    2
  2727. russian propagandists have been trying to convince the world that Ukraine is selling on Western weapons since the spring of last year. Every time it gets debunked. Most recently, the kremlin has been saying that Hamas used Western weapons they bought from Ukraine to commit mass murder in Israel.
    2
  2728. I am in awe of this woman. It may be the shock, but she is communicating rationally, even smiling... I would probably be curled up in a heap, shaking and whimpering. 🤍💙🤍
    2
  2729. And this war wouldn't have happened if Western countries had honoured their commitments to Ukraine when russia first invaded in 2014
    2
  2730.  @TheSandman.  🤣 thank you 💙💛
    2
  2731. Much love and respect to you from London. You've been put through unimaginable trauma and presented with impossible choices, and yet you keep going, and do the best for yourself and your children day by day. 💙💛
    2
  2732.  @matrixdecoded4226  Oh so here is where you combine the two 2-line comments you've been copying and pasting all over the place... did you have a training session at the troll farm and learn a new tactic?
    2
  2733. Apparently if they travel at a distance from each other (and I don't know if that was the case in this instance) it's harder for Ukrainian drone operators to take them out. Do you follow the channel Motolife UA? It was a bikers' channel, the lovely guy behind hit converted it to frontline reporting when he joined up on Feb 25th 2022. When he has to tell us about destroyed motorbikes you can tell he's hurting inside 😆 Anyway, that's where I heard about the actual danger motorbikes sometimes pose to the UAF

  2736.  @davidhawkins9782  Wasn't he on paternity leave following the adoption of his two young children?
    2
  2737.  @ningurp281  You mean she was well prepared on the topics she knew she would be questioned on? And she knew, not because someone "passed her the answers in advance" but because it's a presidential debate, certain topics always need to be covered, plus she and her team have been paying attention to 1) the news cycle, 2) what Americans have been saying they wanted to hear the candidates talk about, and 3) the endless stream of nonsense that's been coming out of trump and his maga associates.
    2
  2738. Thank you for this interview - and thank you for doing it in Spanish 😊 While appreciating this lovely young person who seems to so grounded and sincere and brave ❤ I had a very interesting linguistic experience... I'm an English speaker learning Ukrainian - I don't speak Spanish, but I work with Spanish speakers and my heritage language is Italian, so I understand it a bit. Basically I was listening to two people speaking a language I understand a bit, and reading subtitles in another language I understand a bit, and I understood almost everything! Apart from that, I think it was great to do the interview in Spanish and I really hope this video goes viral all over Central and South America! 💙💛

  2743.  @cathywestgate8040  Thank you for the textbook example of maga projection
    2
  2744.  @CrankCase08  That's right - putin only has his opponents inprisoned for decades or murdered. Besides, I follow Ukrainian media and counterpropagandists, and there are quite a few contrasting voices speaking quite loudly in Ukraine. I just wish that people like you, who try to convince the world that Zelensky is a dictator and "the" dictator in this situation, could only hear how pathetic they are
    2
  2745. I am impressed with your analysis and explanations, but it's the russian nesting doll of Dutch Disease that made me subscribe 😆
    2
  2746. ​ @karthikv1461 Whatever, that's your problem
    2
  2747. I support fair and appropriate regulations founded on unbiased research into the role of gender and gender transition in sports and other areas of public life. And for everyone to get the healthcare and rights they need to be themselves and live with dignity.
    2
  2748.  @gametheorybasics  No one has - including russia. And unlike russia, Ukraine has the support of countries that have both the ability and a vested interest in supporting it until victory and beyond.
    2
  2749. Thank you, this was really good, good questions and good answers. I'm glad that Ukrainians are linking up with and getting support from people like this cool woman. "Nothing about us without us" makes me think of what Ukraine keeps having to tell the international community...
    2
  2750. Great idea Max, I may be a petless childless lady but thoroughly enjoyed this video 😊

  2751.  @salty_snowboarder  You are literally quoting Margarita Symonyan there... but you're not a russian bot 🤣 ("2016 called and wants its cliches back" or something along those lines)

  2753.  @kevinb9830  No one is innocent. No one should be starved to death, either

  2754. Imagine what russia could have been, if it had devoted its huge resources to building its own stuff and developing its own territories for its own people, instead of investing so much into weapons, gulags and psyops... Ah well, I suppose they'll have plenty of time to meditate on that in the decades to come.
    2
  2755.  @parttimephilosopher7097  What about them? Not sure what you're trying to say.
    2
  2756. There's no need to choose between supporting Palestine and supporting Ukraine - I've been walking around with both badges on my person for 8 months now. Don't use Palestine to promote putin's propaganda.

  2758. I reported that for misinformation - there is plenty of video and photographic evidence and that was a targeted russian missile. I recommend also Operator Starsky's latwst video
    2
  2759. Well said and thank you. According to the troll who replied to you first, this is a "tired old trope" but it's not a distinction I had paid a lot of attention to before and I really appreciated seeing it here. Besides, it's true and applies perfectly to the video we saw.
    2
  2760.  @MikeAG333  Presumably borders, human rights and sovereignty are also "tired old tropes"...?
    2
  2761.  @e33d90 This guy is a professional analyst and that's obvious from his content. Stop trolling him
    2
  2762.  @e33d90  I get the impression that he's ex-military. I get that impression from the accuracy of his explanations. His reports have never turned out to be anything but factually correct, he clearly knows what he's talking about, so I don't give a stuff about his "qualifications". If you do, however, no one's forcing you to watch his videos... unless you're being paid to click and troll...? I see no other explanation
    2
  2763.  @JBondy007  You can see it in the footage - not very clearly but it is there. I think Sternenko showed it in today's vlog, I'm sure that's where I saw it
    2
  2764. If you're going to troll in English, learn to spell "nonsense"
    2
  2765. It's also insane how many bot accounts they have! The one below is a new one, at least to me.

  2766.  @RC-tv7hi  I can see them and trust me, you're not missing much...just another putintroll, like you. Україна назавжди
    2
  2767. He posted a couple of messages in the "about" section of his channel's page ☺️
    2
  2768. Actually it's not that hard for an ant to crawl up an elephant's leg and sit on it where it can't reach it
    2
  2769. Why should "Arabs" be locked up? Even if a Muslim immigrant had committed those murders, these pogroms would not be justified. As it happens, Muslims had nothing to do with it.

  2776. He does - become a member if you want to watch his weekly overview.
    2
  2777. But then WHY do you click on their videos? I don't watch stuff that makes me puke.
    2
  2778. It's called information. But being one of putin's trolls, you probably don't understand the meaning of that word
    2
  2779. @alexhidell4546  1, "volunteer" and "mercenary" mean two very different things, look it up. 2, you seem to be hallucinating, seek medical help.
    2
  2780. You're, it is impossible that everything "just popped into existence". Ever heard of evolution?
    2
  2781.  @MikeAG333  True, however the comment I was replying to - the "how could everything have just popped into existence" pseudo argument - needs to be responded to with at least a mention of evolution
    2
  2782. He does. He may have just witnessed a friend getting injured or killed, and/or just got away from the umpteenth life-threatening situation. These guys are tough but they're human
    2
  2783. Another great video, thanks Paul, I particularly appreciated the historical perspective. I hope all is well at home and your beautiful baby is getting stronger every day ☺
    2
  2784.  @sergeymazur5584  What's god got to do with it
    2
  2785. Who was exposed for his woeful behaviour, lost his job, apologised and then shut the hell up and withdrew from public life? Yes, let's talk about him. Let's not forget to mention that he hadn't been grooming, exploiting and brutalising a vast number of vulnerable young people, or charging lots of money to teach others how to abuse and exploit a particular demographic.
    2
  2786.  @worfkiller  There are volunteers from various parts of the world, who are part of the Ukrainian army. If you need to remind yourself of what mercenaries look like, there's wagner. Mercenaries - btw learn to spell - will fight for whoever pays best.
    2
  2787.  @Milan_Openfeint  Yes. 😑
    2
  2788. She's the new who...?
    2
  2789. Thank you for another great update, as usual clear, balanced and professional. The desperate need to appease the press and the public back home is bound to make any army vulnerable to this kind of unwise overreach. Let alone a supremely incompetent one, like the russian army.
    2
  2790. A strategy that didn't work in the Maidan in 2013-14... but those people were Ukrainians, after all. Made of different stuff.
    2
  2791. @Medio2507 Found the magatroll
    2
  2792. @Medio2507 That figures. Only a magatroll would be flattered when others see them as a magatroll. Thanks for confirming my hunch
    2
  2793. @Medio2507 Everything you write confirms you as a troll... do carry on 🤣
    2
  2794. @Medio2507 I don't need to be cured of my disgust for the maga cult, thanks
    2
  2795.  @RaptorZX3  @eddastrohmayer251 is a prolific kremlin troll account of the "sensible peace" variety - well demonstrated in this thread, I think.
    2
  2796.  @larscolson1383  Imagine if Max and George got to cook together... or even chat on zoom as part of that episode, that would be so cool
    2
  2797.  @themediaisnotyourfriend1124  Or... you could just move to russia now, instead of reelecting trump to turn the US into russia 2.0
    2
  2798. Thanks for the heads up!
    2
  2799. When he was reporting from other sections of the frontline, there were people complaining he wasn't talking about the Kharkiv direction enough... now it's opposite... This was important and he made a good video about it. When something significant happens elsewhere, he'll make a good video about that, too
    2
  2800. I find it hard to stay calm when I hear one of these people say they voted for him in the past... I keep having to remind myself that they are literally breaking out of a cult. I think that's the only way to be constructive about this while retaining our sanity. But they should definitely be taking responsibility, and find a practical way to atone to the world (the damage goes so far beyond the US) for feeding the maga monster.
    2
  2801.  @seanniemeyer5437  Meanwhile, russian POW return home from Ukraine fitter than they were when they left... but close to tears because they don't want to go back
    2
  2802.  @youtubewatcher2  ☺❤🖤
    2
  2803. That's what all Western governments should have done with putin in 2014, but they chose to keep doing business with him
    2
  2804. Well, it took me a while to run your whole comment through the online translator but I'm glad I did 🙂 Thank you and take care, wherever you are in the world. Україна переможе 💙💛

  2805.  @meso8848  USA is not in Ukraine, what planet are you on?
    2
  2806.  @swimminginthoughts  And those covid testing kits...?
    2
  2807.  @Giganibba511  It would make me happy to stop finding stupid comments from you, is that an option?
    2
  2808.  @OpinionParade  While each comment you've left under this video marks you out as one of trump's trolls
    2
  2809. Incidentally, Danil is Chuvash ☺
    2
  2810.  @JohnSmith-px5nf  Online translators are a great invention, I get to spot the racist homophobic putin trolls without having to bother to learn russian... learning Ukranian instead 😀💙💛
    2
  2811.  @darthghengis  some factual evidence that Zelensky is corrupt...?
    2
  2812.  @johnconnor1847  It would be, if I hadn't seen you you do that under video after video.
    2
  2813.  @johnconnor1847  Oh, there are plenty of sources, it's just not worth posting them under your comments because you have those replies deleted. Just as well anyone can find those sources on the internet and also it wasn't that long ago, so we all remember MTG saying that.
    2
  2814.  @darkomiceski3755  If it existed, it would be footage and therefore reading would not be required. However thank you for confirming, with your ridiculous reply, that this is nothing more than a russian propagandist's invention that you're regurgitating in YouTube comment sections
    2
  2815. Ukraine is fighting a puppet war, is that what you call self-defense...?
    2
  2816.  @Rtg5637  I know, it looks like plenty of russian trolls are making the best of it
    2
  2817.  @happycarnivore5481  Of course not. Only tens of thousands of dead women and children. Maybe have a look at the definition of "genocide" - the top of the wikipedia page will suffice - and then come back and tell us how many of those five points don't reflect Israel's current and historical treatment of Palestinians.
    2
  2818.  @marymarlow3646  THAT 😖
    2
  2819. Not to mention selling it. It needs to be illegal to sell them, and that needs to be enforced. There should be special permits if someone needs a machete for their business, and no one needs a zombie knife for anything decent. Other than that, it should literally not be possible to buy these things legally. They'll still be around of course, but... a lot less, in time.
    2
  2820. @sanataj  I don't. It's just a way of abdicating responsibility.
    2
  2821. @ThadGuardi  I'm with you - I do that too sometimes, I'm not sure that always ignoring these critters is the best answer. Especially the less obvious ones.
    2
  2822.  @Ann-snowshoeingonEnceladus  Well said! It's August 2024 and I'm beingeing his interviews because the way he speaks, and the things he says, help me to calm down and sort through my thoughts. My impression of what is "putting Americans to sleep", though you may think it's counter-intuitive, is the loud, continuous word salad from trump and his associates. When I hear them speak, I always think of that clip that went viral a few years ago... a preacher at a megachurch somewhere in the States, "speaking in tongues" while scrolling down his phone.
    2
  2823. Героям слава! Смерть путінським тролям! ❤🖤
    2
  2824. I thought that too!! It's probably just a normal-sized table for two human adults, but by now we all have table trauma because of putin 🤣
    2
  2825. Thank you. I've been thinking exactly that since the first pics were circulated... "Four brown guys" 🥺
    2
  2826.  @robertcampomizzi7988  Thanks for posting actual word salad - just in case anyone had any doubt about what you are.
    2
  2827.  @robertcampomizzi7988  Where was the challenge in the word salad you posted above? You do know that you have to be intelligible if you want others to engage with you?
    2
  2828. Good to hear that, does it mean you're going to start petitioning your new president to stop arming Israel's genocidal army with immediate effect?
    2
  2829. I haven't watched it yet - not sure how, I'm in the UK... I'm hoping the BBC will show it at some point - but I'll start by watching the interview she did with him 4 years ago. I am impressed and honestly touched by how respectfully she speaks of Ukraine in the interviews she's done about this documentary: she says that he's Ukrainian, involved in russian organised crime, and that the US committed a crime against Ukraine. Language is important, and Rachel certainly knows how to use it, but she is also an outstanding human who is determined to use her skills and position to make the world better 👏 As Ukrainians say, Низький уклін Вам (an expression of deep respect which translates literally as "A low bow to you") 💙💛

  2830.  @TRUTH6325  kremlin bot

  2831.  @Joe_Terra_Citizen  That. Thank you.
    2
  2832.  @atlita7140  Also, gay people can also adopt or foster children, or become step parents of their partner's children. They can be wonderful aunts and uncles who help friends and relatives raise happy, well-adjusted children. And bisexual people do exist - I am one of them! - and may have children from previous heterosexual relationships. I've read all your replies to every single homophobic comment under this video, well done my friend ☺🌈💙💛
    2
  2833. ​ @atlita7140 I support Ukraine 100% so I do find it painful when I come across homophobia among Ukrainians... but then I come across people like you and my heart sings 🤗💙💛
    2
  2834. Give this man a desk job in the UAF... hopefully he'll be better at admin than at orienteering!
    2
  2835.  @shtein4476  So it's the twenty-first century. The UK has stopped casually moving into other people's countries and telling them what language to speak.
    2
  2836.  @shtein4476  ?? I decided to talk about "our time", because you, like I don't know how many others, resorted to the "all other empires, so...?" line, and the point is, the other empires are actually (slowly, painfully, imperfectly) changing their behaviour towards other nations, while russia (whatever it calls itself now) isn't.
    2
  2837. A Ukranian woman I met in London said this to me about BJ: " I used to really hate him because of Brexit. Now I hate him less." It made me laugh and I appreciated her clear-headed honesty; but it also brought home to me how obvious it was to lots of people in eastern Europe that Brexit would massively benefit putin, and that he totally contributed to it. Considering how small the Leave margin was, he basically swung that referendum... We're so wrapped up in our institutions and traditions and our "British values" that we believe that sort of thing only happens to other people in other countries.
    2
  2838.  @allanknudsen2490  A couple of trolls have tried that same trick in this comment section and got taken down masterfully by a few dedicated fact checkers. It was beyond doubt a Ukrainian soldier (or prossibly a driver for that brigade?). I know YT tends to take down comments with links in them, but if you can give me a few keywords to search for that interview I would really appreciate it 💙💛
    2
  2839. Every time I watch one of these videos I ask myself the same question 🤬 Слава захисникам України ♥️🖤
    2
  2840.  @JohnSmith-pg9ns  It must be easy enough to verify whether the man is or isn't a registered democrat... He sounds mostly unhinged to me, good on Ukraine for not letting him fight.
    2
  2841. @yellowtunes2756  Even if that is the case it does eventually happen - and I doubt it, since Russia has also been invaded this year for the first time since WW2 - it wouldn't make you any less of a Z troll
    2
  2842. How about the thousands of women who've joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces since 2014, and even more so since last year? Is that a sign of desperation? Because it's actually making the UAF - and Ukrainian society - stronger
    2
  2843. Sadly, people keep trolling for the kremlin, which is one of the reasons the russians have proven hard to stop so far.
    2
  2844.  @Rhinohanni1967  That comment is the same as telling a woman whose abusive ex has broken into her home to just lie down, stop resisting and let him move back in 🤬 You're right, "who started it?" is the only sane response.
    2
  2845. They know that if russia wins in Ukraine at some point they'll turn to Kazakhstan... it's self-preservation as much as solidarity, I think. Btw, geo-politically sandwiched is a brilliant piece of language, very descriptive and also 😂 Take care, friend, Слава Україні!
    2
  2846. Stop using Palestine to push putin's nasty propaganda. Nobody's falling for it anyway - I go to Palestine support demos with Ukrainian badges and flags, there is always positive feedback from people.
    2
  2847. This video is basically a public service announcement... sadly I doubt it will reach most of the people who really, really need to hear it. I'm torn between thinking "Imagine how many trumpers this scam will wipe out when it blows up" and being genuinely horrified at this latest scheme so transparently targeting the people, so many of them older, who already buy huge amounts of maga merch and have been giving trump their money for years. Like every cult leader, trump knows how to fleece his sheep 🥺
    2
  2848.  @harold9394  putin's paying
    2
  2849. He paid for his flights with the fine and insurance money. I've known people who would go to jail rather than pay fines, but always had rolls of cash in their pockets.
    2
  2850.  @sammyocgirl7411  Is that why he's trying to wriggle out of that debate?
    2
  2851. My thanks to the channel for your commentary of this event. Zelenskyi has a very strong stomach, to meet this guy after the things he has (and hasn't) said so far. In my opinion, the person who came up with the word "vatnykan" is a genius, and absolutely right. Please Ukrainians, never forget that there are countless millions all over the world who stand with you, and don't need to be told what's right and wrong by any religious leader, because we can see it with our own eyes. You can and will win ❤🖤
    2
  2852. In the UK, Labour suffered a "historic defeat" at the end of 2019, and this summer, less than 5 years later, won by a landslide. In a very quick election, might I add.

  2854.  @Amanita._.Verosa._.  Please make some merch with that slogan, it's great! (just remember to spell "men" with one "n"... I normally wouldn't bother to correct a typo but I am really hoping you'll put this on a hat/sweatshirt/bumper sticker/whatever).
    2
  2855.  @sammiller6631  I'm a resident. Not an expat - or a "hotel patron", to go wiht your analogy. This is where I live, and where I've lived my entire adult life. If, like a "hotel patron", I packed my bags at the end of my stay and went back "home", I would immediately lose my right to vote in local elections in this country. So your analogy doesn't make much sense - best revise it before your next conversation with a migrant.

  2856.  @QwadLuzr  As we learned during the pandemic, zoom only works so far, but if you want to connect with people you have to do it in person. If Zelensky was going to run for it he would have done it in February last year, when he was offered a "ride" - not just for himself but his whole family, remember? - and turned it down. Again: everybody knows this.
    2
  2857. Because that became the "face of the channel" early on, I suppose.

  2858.  @ibpsupplyman  As an Italian-born person I find this hilarious 🤣 Bravo!!
    2
  2859. Yet, you click. Are you a troll, by any chance?
    2
  2860.  @neilsergener3821  ...and...? Ukraine has absolutely nothing to do with the way the NHS has been bled dry by the Tories since 2010. It's nonsensical and inappropriate to even bring it up in this context. Which makes me think you may be some kind of troll
    2
  2861.  @davidcarp5935  A very specific, extremely violent fantasy shared with a huge public that includes a large number of multiple gun owners is not "everything". And should definitely be taken seriously.

  2862. You can't claim child benefits without registering the birth of a child, what planet are you on?
    2
  2863.  @danialhillmann5374  So what exactly is your point in bringing up Israel in this thread? If the American people can really look forward to funding Israel's... conduct in Palestine (YT deletes comments containing the 8-letter word beginning with "g"), then it makes sense to vote for someone who is likely to make many other things better, and will definitely stop the country from turning into a dictatorship.
    2
  2864.  @KyleRuggles  That. Well said
    2
  2865. The process somewhat differs from that of distributing sweets among a group of children... Each country needs to demonstrate that it meets the requirements set by the union
    2
  2866. That is good to know, but he's not going to be around for much longer, right? How do various candidates stand on supporting Ukraine? (honest question btw, I'm not trolling you, just no time to look this up!)
    2
  2867. @2ndio405  RfU is a military commentator, not a "mapper".
    2
  2868.  @2ndio405  Mappers make and update maps - commentators on events taking place on a specific territory create commentaries that may use maps as visual aids. A commentary video like the ones that RfU has been publishing for the past three years functions essentially as a story - it needs a beginning, a middle and an end, even if the wider background - i.e. the war - is ongoing. If a specific situation is still fluid and developing fast, RfU will wait until there's something solid to comment on and explain to us, even if that is a failure on part of the UAF or another devastating conclusion like mass casualties or prisoners. I really wouldn't have to explain any of this to someone who genuinely supports Ukraine and follows this channel. So if you're not working as an actual troll you should go for it, you seem to have a talent - besides, you're a mug if you're doing that for free.
    2
  2869. Ukraine's defense sector was downgraded for years by a president who was 100% putin's puppet - and even after he was removed, what with fighting the war in the east, the occupation in Crimea and a huge legacy of corruption, underinvestment and inefficiency, they weren't able to build it back up. Not to mention the fact that when the newly-elected Zelenskyy tried to talk to trump about military aid, trump tried to blackmail him to get info that would help him discredit his political opponent.
    2
  2870.  @TastingHistory  Thanks for the really fun video, even when a recipe isn't veganisable I always watch for the brilliant storytelling! Very excited to see you using aquafaba... Could you at some point do an early vegetarian recipe? There were vegetarians in the early 19C, like the poet Shelley for example. That would be wonderful!

  2871. I believe he does a weekly overview for patreon supporters
    2
  2872.  @jozefgoethals6867  I understand your point of view - if I were Ukrainian I may not feel like watching those videos either. Since I'm not, I do watch them and they are often illuminating, even when horrifying or depressing. Sometimes they are neither, some of the interviewees are undeniably really sound people; but there are so few of those, that I almost understand why they're not rising up against the government at the moment - there are definitely more cops than decent people in the rf.

  2873. You ended up on MSNBC because you've been told to troll this video
    2
  2874.  @ps200306  Yes, purchasing power is important and that's what is often missing from comparisons based on currency conversions... Obviously, living standards comparisons are much more labour-intensive to make, that's why we see less of them. Good point though, thanks.
    2
  2875.  @sardanapale2302  It's not about rural locations - plenty of urban Westerners live in poverty - and I have more than a clue about that - while many live well in the countryside. It depends on many factors, including not only the country but the location in that country, social class and often race as well. None of that takes away from the fact that millions upon millions of russians undeniably live in dire poverty, with zero prospects and terrible infrastructure, in an underpopulated country overflowing with natural resources. If they hadn't been governed by a psychopathic cleptocrat for decades, the revenue from those resources would have made their lives immeasurably better. But they choose to keep believing the lies he tells them so he and his gang can hold on to power.
    2
  2876.  @alber.tino_  I second that, I would like to knokw what ordinary russians think about her. Especially considering that a significant minority of respondents to this sort question answer "Who if not putin?" - it would be good to hear what they say when asked why there's no one BUT putin to vote for...

  2877.  @Chris.Davis.2  That is his/her job!

  2879. I don't usually copy and paste my comments all over a comment section, but that's what you're doing, so you're asking for it: She's not "suddenly claiming" anything, she is dual heritage and her never made a mystery of it. It's just trump talking rubbish as usual. And there's a very detailed comment in this thread about why he's saying this now, which I completely agree with.
    2
  2880. Hello troll... don't you know that too many dog whistles and trigger words in one little comment just cancel each other out?
    2
  2881.  @JazzyJizzyJohnson-og5sc  I can imagine thinking that hot pepper might put hunting dogs off their scent, particularly in desperate circumstances and with limited resources (after all, I sprinkled peppermint oil around the garden to put off a very territorial - and noisy! - dogfox). Going through a body of water is something I've heard so much from so many sources I almost can't believe it's not true... does it just act as a physical barrier, rather than disrupt the scent trail?
    2
  2882.  @artlast6507  How about you prove that this is "garbage"? It's your assertion, so it's your responsibility to back it up with factual evidence. I have not once come across a single detail on this channel that didn't check out. He even quotes pro-russian bloggers sometimes.
    2
  2883. There will be plenty of negotiating to do over reparations - after the rf has ceased all hostilities, returned all captives, taken back all the soldiers currently sitting in comfort in Ukranian POW camps, withdrawn its troops back to 1991 borders and packed off all war criminals to The Hague
    2
  2884.  @allydea  Kind of... Because as long as they carry on, there's just no way they can win, but they're bound to learn a few tricks along the way. OK, OK, point taken, there are other things to be afraid of at the moment but this really is quite high on my list
    2
  2885. Can you imagine trump sitting down with Laura Kuenssberg? 🤣
    2
  2886.  @notadvertiserfriendly6084  Literally, I imagine - the last one was an hour old. I haven't given birth myself but I've seen two women give birth and I know they wouldn't have been in a state to go outside and walk unnoticed down the street after *one hour*.

  2887. Bandera literally spent years in a nazi concentration camp.

  2888.  @arsonviburnums8453  "hard to do and unprofitable for short and long time" is a good appraisal of the russian revolution... maybe you're about to deny that too? Are you also a Holocaust denier?
    2
  2889.  @carolbaird8659  So what if Zelenskyy's native language is russian? He is one of millions of Ukrainians who grew up speaking mostly russian and have now completely and permanently switched to speaking Ukrainian because they have understood that the russian language is part of a long-standing psy-op against their independent country. I salute them.
    2
  2890. Thank you for making this video in spite of it being potentially controversial - it turned out well, I found it really interesting. In a way, talking about that place and time without mentioning the obvious allowed you to shed light on other topics, that often don't get discussed. I think the first person I ever heard mention the food policy of WW2 Germany was Timothy Snyder, in his lecture series The Making Of Modern Ukraine - and by the way, thank you for naming Ukraine instead of just saying "Soviet Union", as so many people do when talking about that time.
    2
  2891.  @noname-ll2vk  Thanks!!
    2
  2892. The thing I find most pathetic about the citizens of the rf - and there really is a lot to choose from - is these little videos they make when something's wrong in their lives, addressing "vladimir vladimirovych" as if they had ANY reason to believe that he cares about them
    2
  2893. I loved watching Marikovskyi punch that russian in the face over the Ukrainian flag, but are you saying he gave you those figures? Your comment is unclear and your figures are wrong.
    2
  2894. Thank you for giving us the full background to this story. I first found out about it yesterday - Sunday, the day after these boys were killed, I think - from a Ukrainian news clip, but there wasn't much information other than what was reported by russian "media". I had just come back from visiting a friend whose children I've known since they were babies, her son was born in 2006 just like these two boys. I gave him a hug, we talked about school, about his plans for his seventeenth birthday. Now I keep trying to imagine him having to choose between being tortured and being killed by the people trying to enslave his country, but my brain just refuses to do it. Ukrainians have my support for as long as I live and trust me, I will never expect any of you to forgive anything or anyone. Слава героям України ❤🖤
    2
  2895.  @alonsocushing2263  I know there are some women in Ukranian frontline infantry, but not as many as in other sectors. Recently I watched an interview with someone from this brigade, saying they're having to turn women down because so many are asking to become stormtroopers but the physical demands involved in that are too high even for some men.
    2
  2896. russia needs to stop targeting Ukrainian civilians. In fact, russia needs to immediately cease all hostilities against Ukraine, withdraw all its troops back to 1991 borders, return all captives and start paying reparations.
    2
  2897. I was thinking the same!! I like him even more now ☺
    2
  2898.  @johnmcmahon5225  The only other option seems to be losing the war to a demented, genocidal, giant mafia cartel, so I understand why that happens. In any case, the Ukrainian guy in the last clip is not a soldier but an ammo driver who got caught up in that battle, received shrapnel injuries to his arm and leg, decided to bandage his wounds rather than use tourniquets because he didn't want his mobility to be limited, and then ended up doing what we can see him do in the footage. Just watched an interview with him.

  2899.  @relaxingsounds4821  Ok, so this is the latest shtick from the kremlin trolls...

  2900. Actually about one third of the US electorate voted for trump last year, he won the popular vote (for the first time) by quite a thin margin, considering the size of the electorate. But that is a fact, and a common trait of maga trolls such as yourself is a violent allergy to facts.
    2
  2901. Americans should be relentlessly pestering their representatives to shout about this issue until something gets done... that's what representatives are for
    2
  2902.  @FrankSelly  "what if something happens worthy of not certifying the election?" you mean, what if the people vote for someone other than trump? Would that be " worthy of not certifying the election?"

  2903.  @yom_theoriginal8512  How are women perceived in your country if they decide to not have children? And if they're gay?

  2904.  @biktop9276  Or... not, as it turns out 🙂
    2
  2905. The reconstruction of this building figures in the Lviv episode of a beautiful series where a Ukrainian composer - Yevhen Filatov - creates music from the sounds of Ukrainian cities in wartime: Sounds of Lviv. Tram, City hall, rain, lyra and the legend of the opera (I try not to post links but this is the full title, it will get you there). 45 minutes long. I recommend the whole series if you love Ukraine and music, it's outstanding. Decent English subs. Україна назавжди💙💛
    2
  2906. Hahaha did you read my long-drawn-out argument with that pillock trying to convince me to that I work for the FSB, because I was saying that it's clearly still you running the channel? 🤣 (I must admit I was a tiny bit flattered: it sounds like employment - I haven't had a proper job this century) Good to see you, Daniil ☺️ Look after yourself, I'm looking forward to watching whatever work you make until I'm a very old woman, and I have a few decades to go.
    2
  2907.  @berendharmsen  Thanks for letting me know, it's a great feeling to share a good channel with someone. He's also made some interesting videos about the history of English, in particular the reasons behind the nonsensical spelling that so many learners struggle with - I was just recommending those to someone but I think I'll go back to them myself!
    2
  2908. 😮

  2909. Thanks for the video. Слава українському народові 💙💛

  2910. This is a troll account I hadn't seen in a while, spouting vaguely sinister dross and enclosing it in quote marks, from which we're meant to infer that it was first said by someone wise - but inexplicably not named in the comment.
    2
  2911. @ That's what I should have written, this person isn't worth anything more articulate than "potato" 🤣
    2
  2912. I used to like striped shirts 😒 Thank you all the same, brilliant video and always good to see you 💙💛
    2
  2913. Yup. I can never watch one from beginning to end, sometimes have to pause more than once.
    2
  2914.  @wolfswinkel8906  Ahh, thanks for confirming the nasty feeling I had about you from your initial comment... Your baseless assumption about this man's knowledge and understanding of American history (or lack of it) smelled like trolling, and your reply to me, even more so.
    2
  2915. He does, that's why he's not feeding them to putin
    2
  2916. We don't know for sure, Ukrainian inspectors were not allowed near the crash site - but even if that was a Ukrainian missile, it was only shot while defending themselves from *russian aggression*. The rf is the only cause of all this destruction
    2
  2917.  @Max91019  Everybody's race is the human race. And if in 30 years' time Ukraine is free and thriving, inhabited by people who love their country, will it really matter if some of them are brown?
    2
  2918. Thank you, I got so depressed reading this comment section that has so much racism and ignorance in it, it's a relief to find some sensible, decent people. The person charged with the murders of those children is neither a Muslim nor an immigrant: that lie was deliberately spread on social media in order to provoke this disorder. It's just my gut feeling, but I'm sure russia has a stake in this. I hope the whole situation will be investigated as terrorism, because that's what it is.
    2
  2919. From an outsider's point of view, this process appears much more correct and transparent than the annexation of Crimea.
    2
  2920. Smells like putin to me... (only my gut feeling that I'm choosing to share, I'm not spreading a theory I've read or heard anywhere).
    2
  2921. "... like milk in a bag..." 🤣 This guy always makes me laugh. Seriously though, I don't think these stories are so ridiculous because they were invented by ignorant people, but because they were invented for ignorant people: the propagandists making them up are working on the assumption that everyone has the same limited capacity for critical thinking that russians have after the generational brainwashing they've been submitted to for decades.
    2
  2922. Thank you, this John Oliver bit will never get old 😁
    2
  2923. There are problems with fortifications in some areas, I've been hearing this from weeks from the Ukrainian bloggers I follow. But the problem with building effective fortifications so near the border is that the personnel building them would probably get wiped out by russian artillery before they're even done
    2
  2924. Please channel your apologies into Ukraine's drone funds... you know from RfU what a massive difference a steady supply of high quality drones makes to the Ukrainian army. If you already donate, keep telling all Americans who feel the same as you to donate specifically for drones. Sternenko and Prytula are volunteers working round the clock to fundraise and supply through their foundations (and sometimes jointly).
    2
  2925.  @Chocopie-nr8md  ... from russia...? 🤣
    2
  2926.  @andreyzaycev8346  There have been multiple reports about this throughout the day, including from Reporting from Ukraine which hasn't once reported something that wasn't corroborated later by other news sources
    2
  2927.  @RedJadeArt  In case anybody's intereseted, I've just watched this short video from Ksenia Turkova (100% pro-Ukrainian russian journalist based in the US, she works for Voice of America and is well worth following): KURSK: 5 FACTS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW
    2
  2928.  @JohnDoe-rs7gh  Because it's a stupid question...? Meanwhile, trump supporters aren't actually able to answer questions like "what is this critical race theory you hate so much?" and "what does the word 'fascism' mean?"
    2
  2929. Thank you! And not only for the thoughtful comment... I'm learning Ukrainian on YouTube and I'm literally turning your comment into a study sheet... I learn much faster if I'm interested in the material. Apologies for the English-language reply, I still understand better than I can express myself, and I don't have a Ukrainian keyboard on my laptop. My best wishes to you and your loved ones. Слава Україні 💙💛
    2
  2930. That's partly because mainstream media don't report in as much detail as this channel does. Also, no one is reporting "massive" breakdowns.
    2
  2931.  @Georgecostanza1020  Isn't it sweet when two maga trolls find each other in a comment thread? And then they have that chat they can't have in real life because they don't get coffee breaks at the troll farms ☺💙
    2
  2932. A few months ago, russia yet again embarrassed itself by destroying 4 Bradleys before any Bradleys had even entered Ukrainian territory... Like all of putin's mouthpieces, you're just projecting. And you're not even that good at it. Слава Україні💙💛
    2
  2933. We live in hope
    2
  2934.  @Dan-cb5xx  Hoping that putin is indeed becoming hated throughout the world...? Because for all the people who do rightfully hate him, many others still don't
    2
  2935. Hello everyone in the comments section, please forgive this foreigner for not understanding but I just have to ask: why don't people like the first woman in the video just move to the rf? Why didn't they move years ago? The rf is just over the border, they already speak the language and could easily get a passport, if they don't already have one. Why stay in a country they hate so much that they're cheering on the people trying to destroy it, when it would be so easy to leave and go where they feel at home? Respect to the interviewer for calmly informing that person, more than once, that she was committing a criminal offence. Україна переможе! Love and solidarity from London 💙💛
    2
  2936.  @richardleirer  maga troll... spamming every single comment thread with the same idiotic question. Understand that when a comment demonstrates that a person went straight to the comments instead of watching the video they clicked on, most people will instantly know that person is intentionally - maybe professionally - trolling.

  2937.  @gavinhassett479  🤯😣

  2938.  @louisecorchevolle9241  The invasion of Iraq was an abomination and there's been no justice for it. Ukraine did what many other countries did and supported the US and UK - and considering how badly Ukraine needed to get closer to Western countries, even with my opinion of that war, I understand why they chose not to remain neutral. However there's no comparison, because the Iraq war was not an attempted genocide of the Iraqi people - children were not abducted, there was no strategy to convince Iraqis that they're not Iraqis. For these reasons, when people bring up the Iraq and other wars in this context, it tends to be nothing more than whataboutism. Now tell us why you lied about Mahuchikh being "targeted by Ukrainian nationalists for posing alongside a russian athlete" - I follow Ukrainian sources and I'm seeing a LOT about her, and NOTHING about this alleged incident.

  2941. I have just emailed Times Radio to complain about this appallingly unprofessional headline (they didn't even spell "Ukraine" properly).

Advance apologies for "spamming"

  2942.  @Tod_oMal  Source? When did the Pentagon say that? Haven't seen that reported anywhere. Unless they speak to you personally
    2
  2943.  @dazjackson1972  The UAF have been using the cluster munitions for a while, exactly in the way they said they would
    2
  2944.  @aldosterone2348  Indeed. The comment I was replying to stated that cluster munitions is all the UAF have left, and tried to legitimise that quote by attributing to the Pentagon. What you said in reply to me is a different thing and not directly relevant.
    2
  2945. Nope. It takes a PhD to be a historian. If you don't know what that is, take a break from trolling and look it up. Or do you not get breaks at the troll farm?
    2
  2946. Thanks guys, I needed this today 😊

  2947. It's called investigative journalism, he's literally doing his job. And he seems to be doing it well, AND getting paid for it
    2
  2948. I would ask you to remind us how many have fled the rf since Feb 2022, but considering your country's inability to count its own war dead, I doubt you would have reliable figure at hand
    2
  2949. The joke would be in negotiating with the russian federation and having to pretend to take them on their word when they do nothing but lie

  2952.  @CaliSteve169  How did Alex Jones' "crisis actors" schtik go...? You want to be next?
    2
  2953. Sadly, they've been more or less forced to "celebrate small battlefields gains" since the beginning... they have to keep proving themselves to the collective West to ensure the flow of military aid doesn't drop. This has been making me really angry for the past 15 months and I'm ashamed it hasn't been making me angry for the past 9 years - but it's the truth.
    2
  2954.  @OFFCODEV2  A number of trolls have tried this same trick here - plenty of fact checking in other threads in this comment section, just do a bit a of scrolling.

  2956. Good point. Though I'm wondering if they'll cancel the procession again, to avoid having lots of people joining in with pictures of guys killed in the last two years of senseless war
    2
  2957. You don't mean kettle...? I've been in a few of those back in my anti-war, anti-road, anti-capitalist protesting days, we have definitely always called them police kettles. Using cauldron indicates a much bigger area and... a longer cooking time, which is appropriate in a military situation.

  2959. I was literally shouting that at my screen.... it HURTS
    2
  2960.  @vksasdgaming9472  Fact-based criticism of the US or any other Western country is not the same as trolling for putin, nor do Western failings justify any of russia's policies / practices / crimes.
    2
  2961. I've heard some Ukrainian bloggers point this out for some weeks. It's not a general problem, but it is a problem in some areas. The problem with building effective fortifications this close to the border is that it would make it so easy for the personnel doing that to get wiped out by russian artillery before they're done... so Ukraine is, yet again, stuck between a rock and a hard place.
    2
  2962. 🤣 by "3rd world communist hell hole" I imagine you mean a country that seems to be moving towards free universal healthcare and equal rights for all regardless of sexuality, gender identity and ethnic background?
    2
  2963.  @robertscott961  It doesn't make anyone a nazi - I've just reported that comment as hate speech. Any comment branding pro-Ukrainian views and Ukrainian patriotism as nazist is literally hate speech - i.e. it's used to foment hatred against Ukrainian while undermining the support they need to survive genocide. We should just report it for what it is, whether it appears in the comment, in the handle or in the avatar.

  2964.  @kittyhazes5741  When he's actually paying her an accidental compliment 😆
    2
  2965.  @cockneycharm3970  And just as well someone did - Poland was starting to literally do putin's work for him... Though if the EU truly had this sinister capacity you're attributing to them, I imagine they would have threatened Hungary more effectively by now
    2
  2966.  @cockneycharm3970  that is so not what the US government have done... they're in a chaos of their own making but because they are an immensely powerful country, that has repercussions on pretty much everything, and critical situations such as the war in Ukraine will inevitably feel the impact more acutely. Zelensky's not a schoolboy being examined by the mighty "West" - nor is Ukraine. Ukraine is a sovereign nation fighting something that none of our countries have faced in generations, if ever. And it's not Ukraine threatening the world's, or specific countries', food supply, energy costs, or security. The rf is doing that.

  2967. There is a monthly payment option, cancel any time, for $5.99

  2968.  @Christopher_Robert_Evans  I wonder if they wrote each other's lines 😂
    2
  2969.  @70centurian  They need to do it *now*, though - Ukraine can't afford to wait till the US midterms, let alone the next presidential election. Not to mention the fact that the USA has probably had its last true elections.
    2
  2970. Nope, there are also winners and losers, and the winners are those who get to decide what to do with themselves as well as what happens to the losers.
    2
  2971. That is a lovely thought. But I fear that russia will "fade away" like a canister of novichok... or like Chornobyl itself: slowly, dangerously, horribly. And that is actually the best option for the world!

  2989.  @BolshevikCarpetbagger1917  That sounds labour-intensive and not cost-effective... But removing every possible privilege from Hungary is something that the EU should definitely be doing, and hopefully are.

By the way: you do know that to many people from the former soviet union the hammer and sickle is the same as a swastika?

  2990. I see your point, but my guess is that "settlement" is actually a good catch-all translation for the Ukrainian administrative term населений пункт, which translates literally as "inhabited point" and means "community of any size, in which people live". I translate from Italian, which has a similar term (centro abitato) and uses it a lot, with none of the implications you mention. We speakers of regional varieties of English need to get used to their native language being used by many as a lingua franca, which entails using some words in a slightly different way or without some of the connotations that are instinctive to us. I agree that it takes some effort to do that, but it's good for our brains, as well for relations with people from other parts of the world... and after all, we have the immense privilege of being fluent in the dominant language of the world, if anyone's going to make an effort it should be us.
    2
  2991.  @weedwacker1716  This is the best kind of reply one can ever expect on YouTube! Thanks ☺ I kept thinking about it after posting (we translators are hopeless language nerds), and the thing is, we often say "built-up area" at least in British English (not sure that's as common a term in the US), but that would definitely give listeners the wrong impression about what some Ukrainian settlements are actually like: many of the homes will be smallholdings, meaning that most of the buildings are not close together, or if they are, they'll have a shared yard that will actually be quite large and include vegetable plots, maybe a shared wood-fired oven. Some of the houses may be quite far from the others, but from an administrative point of view they'll belong to the same unit, which could not be described as "built up". I really understand why this guy and other Ukrainians reporting choose the word "settlement" as a relatively neutral term, and I think it's down to us to divest the word of the associations you rightly mentioned in your first comment - and also to keep informing ourselves and others so that our comprehension of Ukrainian realities keeps growing.

  2993.  @TheAmericanDreamLives  It's a question worth asking, though... every single MAGA fan randomly saying that putin is a great president, the USA should be more like the rf, and Ukraine should just shut up and stop fighting... they should all be asked what they would want to happen if putin's men took over half of Alaska and then demanded the other half "for the sake of peace", because Alaskans are really russians, they just forgot it and he's here to remind them

The solution to that is very simple: to erase homophobia through education, visibility, and political campaigns for equal rights.

  3021. It's pronounced RobOtyne / Робо́тине from the Ukrainian dictionary. That's not his pronunciation, it's AI. He must have started using it when he got back from being sick for a month, to spare himself some work, maybe to allow other people in his team to do the videos when he can't. But AI doesn't deal well with multilingual content, so while it replicates his voice, accent and cadence quite well, it messes up the place names that he used to pronounce with a perfect Ukrainian accent. I'm going to email the channel about it because I'm worried about this starting to hurt their credibility.
    2
  3022.  @ElkaPME  I've emailed them about it. If they need to keep using AI to narrate, they could explain the situation and how it affects the pronunciation of place names and other Ukrainian words - that would be enough.
    2
  3023.  @etcetera-9  It's not so much names that AI has a problem with, I think it's anything in a language other than the main language it's been programmed to reproduce. Whereas a bilingual speaker can choose to pronounce those words in the native accent of whatever language they belong to, while speaking another language. AI is not my area either, but I've been to a couple of seminars recently because of work (I'm a human translator).

Since you so badly want peace at all costs, I imagine you're also haunting the comment sections of pro-russian channels to point out that the war against Ukraine is baseless and depraved, and that the rf must immediately cease all hostilities, withdraw all troops to 1991 borders and return all captives and deportees of all ages. After that, I imagine they'll be negotiating over reparations, sanctions, and the transfer of war criminals to The Hague.

  3032.  @Atheos-1  It's not about taking responsibility for the actions and beliefs of others. It's about taking responsibility for what we all do - or neglect to do - to create and maintain the conditions for certain ideas and practices to take hold and become dangerously widespread. I wish I could share your optimism regarding trump's popularity... we all know that he doesn't need the popular vote to win (or he never would have won in the first place), and many Americans are increasingly disgusted over his support of genocide in the Middle East. Taking the electorate for granted is one of those things that "progressive" parties are often guilty of... in the UK, that strategy worked out really badly for Labour in 2019, for example.

  3040. The word commonly used in Ukrainian for this is напрямок, which literally translates as "direction", and I think "direction" ends up being used in English because it allows the speaker not to use "advance" unless they are, well, advancing.

  3048. It supports the channel, which does Ukraine a great service by keeping us foreigners up to date with what's happening on the frontline and why it's happening.

Besides, wearing and using his merch increases visibility for Ukraine all over the world.

  3050. There are plenty of historical Ukrainian territories in the areas just over the 1991 borders - there's plenty of content about that if you fee like searching. While I've come across the odd Ukrainian voice saying "We should take those back", Ukraine overall isn't interested in taking over rf territory: they just want their own land back and an end to hostilities, and reparations so they can rebuilding and recovering as a nation. Many people say that the republics on the other side of the 1991 border will need to become demilitarised zones, and I personally agree, but that's a very different thing from Ukraine taking over those territories.

Though I also agree with you that adopting that symbol could also have been a way of trolling russia - I think both these elements are at play on the symbol. I look forward to a more transparent, deeper analysis of this in future - I'm sure it will come.

  3074. I agree with you that the translated voiceover could be better, but these are clearly done on the fly - these people are busy. And there's nothing wrong with English speakers going to a bit of trouble to understand something, we're far too used to content being packaged to be easily consumed by us. Personally I prefer the videos released by his office, I run the auto translation - which is what it is - and listen to him speak Ukrainian. Every now and then I make out a word or a whole phrase - Zelenskyy taught me to say "I don't care" in Ukrainian (when asked by a British interviewer whether he thought Putin would survive defeat in Ukraine)...and that always makes me smile, even in the mounting horror of this war.

  3080.  @derinden15  If you support russia you are against Ukraine, you hypocrite - and don't think for a second anyone's buying your bs. russia is not at war with "the West", whatever that means - though some russians seem to be, in their heads. As for NATO, which may be what you're actually talking about, russia isn't at war with them either: when a country's at war with NATO its cities get bombed to rubble before any of their boots hit the ground, I don't know if you were paying attention at the beginning of this century. For all the good reasons much of the world has for hating "the West", russia is trumping them all - even in countries whose governments are currently giving russia the benefit of the doubt, many people are very clear who's doing what in this situation, and they don't like it. With the track record of countries like the US and the UK, it should have been so easy for russia to gain and keep the moral high ground... and they have failed at that immensely easy task. Spectacularly. In short: committing genocide in one country to settle a more or less imaginary score with another part of the world is an indefensible strategy.

  3098.  @perfectmazda3538  some russian interviewees definitely do that, some are shamelessly pro putin to the point of calling for genocide, some actually give their opinion even if it's controversial. I'm not quite sure if/why you're arguing with me on this point, since we seem to agree and my reply mentioning 1420 was nothing to do with one of your comments😂 Whatever, have a nice day
    2
  3099.  @rgbforever4561  Again: I brought up 1420 because of the initial statement I was replying to, which was "If democracy was only 50/50 you would not have the courage to conduct these interviews" (it is at the top of the thread, but at this point I despair of people's ability to scroll up and down and read through comments before replying). I used 1420 to show that some people do have the courage to conduct street interviews in a place like russia, where the balance of democracy - to borrow the language of many of these Ukrainian interviewees and picked up by the original commenter - must be hovering close to 0%. Basically, whether street interviews are conducted in any one country shouldn't be used as a measure of how democratic that country is. How people respond may be a more reliable indicator, but still anectodal. I love 1420, as I do this channel, and I do draw inferences from these interviews, but I try to keep in mind that I can only trust those inferences to a point. When 1420 interviewed people in the streets of Minsk, the tone and content of many of those interviews was strikingly different, but still ... Belarus...

  3100.  @trudycolborne2371  Abortion is healthcare, not"killing". And you completely misunderstood my reply to your fellow maga troll's line about "projections", which is hilarious.
    2
  3101. Thank you for the report. I particularly appreciate the details about the shooter in Slovakia, that shows the whole story in a new light - I've been really worried that this assassination attempt could hurt Ukraine, as well as Slovakian progressives. I really disagree with any country "allowing" or "not allowing" the UAF to do whatever it needs to do with the weapons it receives, but since the UK is now allowing Ukraine to hit rf territory with its weapons (only good thing Cameron has ever done), is any of the gear Ukraine's receiving from the UK any good for the defense of Kharkiv?
    2
  3102. Again: there is no indication that the man charged with the murders of those children is even a Muslim, or that religion had any part in his motivation. And he is not a migrant. I am honestly disgusted to read one racist comment after the other in this comment section, all from Ukrainians. It's the first thing in two and half years that's come even close to making me reconsider my support for Ukraine.

  3103. Thank you, this is absolutely beautiful 🥲

  3104. ​ @wishusknight3009 Motolife UA does a very detailed, unflinching report from that section of the frontline every Friday. Isn't it funny how the fact that we follow and appreciate RfU is interpreted by some trolls as us only watching this channel...? Because who could possibly have the brain capacity to follow more than one channel at once??😂
    2
  3105. If it's in this channel it means it's already widely known. Which is why he sometimes doesn't report on something for several days even though people keep asking about it. I initially had the same reaction as you, but following this channel for over two years I know how aware he is of operational secrecy
    2
  3106. They probably have one

  3107. Good observation and boy am I glad that's not only happening to Biden...!
    2
  3108. The channel hasn't been "replaced by AI" - after he got back from being sick for a month he stopped voicing the videos himself. I'm learning Ukrainian, and one of the welcome side-effects of watching his updates every day was the tutorials on Ukrainian place names... early this year that changed, now those pronunciations are mess even though his voice, accent and cadence are reproduced pretty well. It makes me a bit sad but if he's found a way of sparing himself a bit of work, fair enough. I might email him about it though, because so many people are commenting on it and it may start affecting the channel's credibility with some viewers.

  3112. Immense respect for all Ukrainians and in particular every volunteer and member of the armed forces, for keeping going in spite of these terrifying circumstances. When I feel like I'm starting to lose my mind, just thinking of you gets me back on track. I apologise for being so chronically skint that I can only send a tiny fraction of what I'd like to contribute to your defense. I know I'm going to owe Ukraine for the rest of my life, and I'll never be able to fully repay you - but I'll never stop trying to, and if that's all I do with the rest of my life, it will be a life well spent. ❤🖤

  3113. Thank you  @juanbarus2616  I'm also wondering which "starving Ukrainians" that troll was referring to... maybe the ones who starve in russian POW camps, while russian POWs go back home healthier than they were before? 🤬

  3122.  @occamraiser  I imagine the original comment mentions christianity because the video is about a christian church. They didn't say that's the ONLY religion that's ever been used to justify premeditated murder. I'm not sure where you saw righteousness and naivety, maybe you were looking in the mirror?

  3131. Ukrainian inspectors were never allowed near that crash site and the provenance of that missile was never proven, the whole thing just got buried. In any case, if russia hadn't started bombing Ukraine, Ukraine would not have been forced to defend itself with missiles, and those people (and many, many others, mostly Ukrainians) would not have died

  3132. That's one of the things that makes your country great!

  3137. Thanks Caolan - I often watch the Ukrainian coverage of these events but they're not often covered in English, and as usual you did a good job, conveying lots of information and genuine human experience in just a few minutes. On a different note, you have started saying "return back" like most Ukrainians do when they speak English ☺ and as someone who's learning the language and listens to lots of English-speaking Ukrainians, I completely understand... I have to consciously stop myself from saying that nowadays. 💙💛

  3143.  @heraklesnothercules.  Found it, thanks, will watch later. Though unfortunately, as much as I would support that ideologically, I think that would be the wrong thing to do right now - it would hand the whole world to putin on a plate, let alone Ukraine

  3151.  @s0ycapitan  Ukraine would be holding elections with millions of its adult citizens displaced, deported, captive, or stuck in the occupied territories, not to mention those fighting at the front. They would have to choose between running a huge number of polling stations in a large number of foreign countries, and holding their first-ever online elections while under constant attack from a genocidal mafia syndicate of massive proportions that happens to excel at cybercrime. There is simply no way for Ukraine to hold a safe and fair election at this time, quite apart from the fact that their constitution prevents the dissolution of parliament while under martial law. If you so badly want this election to go ahead, go tell putin to immediately cease hostilities, withdraw his troops back to 1991 borders and return all captives, military and civilian, adults and children. I'm sure Ukraine could hold an election while negotiating reparations and the transfer of all war criminals to The Hague.

  3152. Vatnik is used to describe the zombies who believe and repeat every word that comes out of putin's mouth. If dehumanisation concerns you, maybe have a chat with putin about the behaviour of his armed forces on Ukrainian territory.

  3154.  @TKaarel  I don't think that's what the original commenter meant - it's certainly not what I meant. But having seen the state of most of these guys when they're exchanged, I know it's unrealistic to expect any of them to go back to active duty anytime soon... that happened with the few Azov commanders who were for some ridiculous reason held in Turkey for about a year after they were exchanged, but they were in good health and ready to go.

  3159. Sternenko talked about this on his blog a couple of days ago... they showed a screenshot of the whole message from the Tuareg force to Ukraine, it was impressive. Obviously Ukraine needs to engage within international law, but I'm glad to hear they're engaging with the people who reached out to them. It may be possible to link some of the captured wagner mercenaries to specific war crimes committed in Ukraine. And let's not forget that as mercenaries, those guys are not covered by the Geneva Convention.

  3165. Thank you for another excellent and important update. Unfortunately the auto-translate function didn't work today, but I decided to use that as a test of my Ukrainian comprehension: I must have understood just under half of what your were saying (and just over zero of what the russians were saying, but I'm not learning russian, so that's OK). On top of everything you do, you're also teaching Ukrainian to us foreigners! 💙💛

  3166.  @csabatoth7205  Are you referring to the time when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, and Ukrainians had no choice in the matter?

  3167. You really couldn't have just posted something supportive of Ukraine without attaching a racist comment to it ...?
    2
  3168.  @nivek5031  I have a problem with the context in which it was used, in the above comment - that's what makes it racist in my opinion. When posting that below a video showing examples of genuinely admirable Ukrainian resistance to a genocidal war, the subtext is that Africans are not, and have not throughout their history, been resilient. Whenever an assumption is made about someone's lack of resilience, the way is paved for blaming them for their own problems and dismiss their complaints, demands, and interpretations of their reality as "whining" from people who just won't try hard enough.
    2
  3169.  @BenjaminVestergaard  Those who make a planned surrender with equipment get money and protection from the Ukrainian government. Those who are captured on the battlefield all get treated the same, as they should, and that's much much better than the treatment they get while serving in the russian army. And considering how they do get treated in the POW camps, what would even constitute "better" treatment? And wouldn't that be against the Geneva Convention?
    2
  3170. Thank you RfU for your brilliant work, this is scary news and I really appreciate the context and perspective that your channel provides. Just one technical point: your audio sounds weird tonight, I heard it immediately and that false note carried on throughout the video. I understand why you started using AI narration about 18 months ago, and I'm sure it affords you precious freedom in how you run the channel, considerimg that you work under extreme pressure. But precisely because the narrator's voice is part of your channel's brand, you may want to check that nothing's wrong with the way it sounds. The way it hit my ears tonight - and I've been listening for three years - is almost like it was sped up slightly, or the register is higher than usual. I'm telling you this because I value your work. Слава Україні 💙💛

However, Westminster Council has just renamed that stretch of road "Kyiv Road", and on Thursday 23rd a group of activists painted it blue and yellow. By the time the rally got there the street had been cleaned up though - protesting isn't easy in the UK, and the governement's trying to make it harder, which is not good. Congratulations to Berlin and Riga, I hope they keep those tanks until the rf inevitably implodes and the embassies close down 💙💛

  3182.  @paulking7019  There's no covering up the fact that you spontaneously posted the same comment more than once in the same comment section, which is unmistakeable troll - or sad weirdo - behaviour. But yes, I'm sure your grown-up attention has shifted to more important things 😂

  3189. No religion has been banned in Ukraine: Ukrainians are trying to shake off the muscovite church - which is basically a branch of the FSB - and that's a very different thing. And no one is prevented from speaking russian in the day-to-day lives, but Ukrainian is the state language and must be used by anyone providing service. The russian language has been heavily weaponised by putin's regime and used to justify a genocide, so no wonder people have lost their patience with it. Besides, many Ukrainians have been directly traumatised by people speaking russian, and it's understandable that they don't want to hear it. There are Ukranians who've escaped the temporarily occupied areas who now refuse to speak russian, even though it's their native language and they're not yet as fluent in Ukrainian. I know this for a fact, I have met them.

    2
  3194. Maybe because his face has become part of this channel's recognisable brand?
    2
  3195.  @cherrilyn5148  He wanted to fight in the Foreign Legion. They didn't take him, because he had no prior combat experience and understandably the UAF don't want to use their resources training foreigners. He also had a bizarre plan to get Afghani soldiers who had left Afghanistan to fight for Ukraine, getting some of them fake passports through Pakistan...? The UAF didn't engage with that either. Other than that, no it's not strange that someone would go to Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion (which was just over 2.5 years ago btw).
    2
  3196. He's an investigative journalist doing his job, and doing it well. And successfully. While you pay a self-obsessed pimp to spew out his slogans for him.

  3198. I'my copying and pasting my comment from elsewhere in this comment section (something I don't normally do, I'm not a bot) because so many people are posting this same question: There are problems with fortifications in some areas, I've been hearing this from weeks from the Ukrainian bloggers I follow. But the problem with building effective fortifications so near the border is that the personnel building them would probably get wiped out by russian artillery before they're even done

  3200. I remember watching the people of Kherson celebrate after the orcs were driven out, and some of those people have since been murdered... the thought literally chills the blood in my veins. And I knew at the time, as I watched that footage, that they must have been aware of that possibility - but still, they were out there, rejoicing in their liberation. Words always fail me when I try to express my respect for the Ukrainian people. Смерть ворогам! Україна назавжди 🇺🇦
    2
  3201. Actually that's not always the case. Often what happens is that some civilians are also returned along with military personnel. That can't happen the other way round, because... Ukraine is not abducting russian civilians
    2
  3202.  @al_the_crow  ... and...? Does anyone who supports Ukraine give the impression that we don't know or care that soldiers are suffering? Don't worry, we're aware. It's one of the reasons we're so fucking angry
    2
  3203. Amazingly, he was getting the exact same criticism for reporting about other sections of the front in the early days of the Kharkiv offensive... I've been replying to the same comment throughout this comment section. This was important and he made a good video about it. I believe he publishes a weekly overview for patreon subscribers.

  3205.  @jujutrini8412  And as an English-speaking Italian person, that annoys me immensely. There is simply no excuse for an educated person who is speaking publicly about their specialism to continuously mispronounce key words like this guy did in the video.
    2
  3206.  @eyaklen4804  That has - tragically - been going on for a long time, and would still go on even if Western countries weren't sending military aid to Ukraine. At least all this disgusting gear will finally be used for something useful.
    2
  3207.  @eddastrohmayer251  You know - allowing Ukraine to regain its lost territories and defeat russia once and for all. Something useful to the world, instead of something that ended up damaging the world, like the wars in the Middle East (just one of many examples). Btw I've seen enough messages from this handle to know I'm replying to a troll account here - that's something I do when it gives me the opportunity to say something I think needs to be said.
    2
  3208.  @eddastrohmayer251  Ukraine is a sovereign country, it can do whatever its citizens want. And russia is in no position to tell other countries what to do with themselves. In this context, "neutrality" is like giving in to the abusive ex who says "Never go out with anyone else and I'll stop setting your house on fire and planting bombs under your car". So... no.

  3210.  @БаксутТуякаев-в9е  Oh, you mean that Zaluzhniy should have staged a military coup...? That would have made Ukraine look good internationally.
    2
  3211.  @jiayangshao4736  How is the remaining population in any way connected to the size of the settlement? And how is it relevant that Robotyne was "not required for evacuation back in May", however you got hold of that piece of information? No Ukrainian settlement of any size was "required for evacuation" until russian and russian-backed forces started invading nearly 10 years ago. Typical troll comment: keywords dropped into nonsense, to give an authoritative veneer to an argument that wouldn't stand up by itself. Then again, always interesting to see what the kremlin's trolls latch on to, and from what angle.

  3212. I don't think that's just a Ukraine problem... there have been two violent homophobic incidents on my streets in the past week alone, multiple casualties hospitalised on both occasions (thankfully not critical). I live in inner London, UK
    2
  3213. And all the rest
    2
  3214. I live on a rough inner-London housing estate. And to be honest I'm pretty sick of it. But it's just occurred to me that I'll never have the spoilt hypocritical child of a russian politician and oligarch as a neighbour... thank you Anna for helping me have this illumination 😁

  3226.  @Сергей-т4о1р  I'm learning Ukrainian 💙💛 as my first Slavic language, and even though the subtitles were a bit... hit-and-miss on this video, I understood almost everything. Obviously the presenters were speaking Ukrainian, but did he speak russian throughout? Because in that case, I must be accidentally learning russian too 😳I could make out quite a bit of what he was saying.

  3227.  @frekihelviti "mostly happy", in the the Gaza strip?? What planet are you on?
    2
  3228.  @frekihelviti  I strongly doubt they live happily in the country trying to exterminate them. And I've know enough people who have spent time in Gaza and the West Bank as well as Israel and know many Palestinians, so I'm not just inventing that.

  3229.  @sambaron7340  Nobody's saying it's the country with the worst current living conditions

  3230. I fell in love with the Ukrainian language the first time I heard it... it makes me sad and angry that that happened because of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. As I learn, I never let myself forget how this language came into my life - I owe Ukraine a debt that I will try to repay in every way I can for the rest of my life.

  3231. How is having Jewish people in government a sign that Ukraine has already lost...?!?

  3233.  @SaiKiran-fd3gq  That was offensive on a number of levels in a very concise way, well done

  3234.  @YorkerEli  Quite. It should have been easy to gain the moral high ground on the US, UK & co... and the rf has failed spectacularly.

  3235.  @NTraveller  Hello trollski, you're back... Why are you back? Remember how everyone in this comment section knew exactly what you are and told you so, weeks ago?

  3236. The BBC reported the latest strike on Odessa with an eye-catching picture of the burning "castle" and basic info about its inhabitant, but my gut was telling me there must be more to it... With all the grief and anger I feel about every innocent victim of every russian strike, and all the damage intentionally caused to homes and infrastructure, in this case the only thing to regret is that Ukrainian firefighters had to waste time, energy and resources (while risking a double-tap strike) to minimise the damage to this guy's house. And to repurpose a joke recently made about Trump (by the comedian Jimmy Kimmel while hosting the Oscars): WHY is Trukhanov still walking around? Isn't it past his jail time? Thank you so much for giving me the background I probably would never have got from a mainstream media platform. The best decision I made in 2022 was to start following Ukrainian sources. Never forget that you can and will win 💙💛
    2
  3237.  @markusbalbach7608  You're right. I mean, there are Ukrainian civilians including children assembling drones in their homes on a voluntary basis, but Ukraine is supposed to be the "weak smaller country" in this equation. The fact that the rf is resorting to that kind of thing - as well as buying weapons from north korea - speaks louder than all their propaganda put together.
    2
  3238. I am shocked and saddened and very angry to hear this happening to you. Your work is invaluable. Thank you for your courage and integrity, and for your dignity as you updated us on this disgraceful situation. I know that every Ukrainian is in a constantly traumatic situation at the moment - I have Complex PTSD myself so I don't say that lightly - but considering your previous experiences, this must be triggering that trauma as well, while you're always being retraumatised by the war along with everybody else. Please look after yourself in every way you can. ❤🖤 I know that you have many supporters in Ukraine, but is there anything a foreigner can do? Is there an address I could email to add my voice to the many that will no doubt speak in your support? I just wouldn't want to make things worse, that's why I'm asking first. In any case, I hope that Western journalists will pick up on this and write about it - that may put a different kind of pressure on the authorities responsible.

  3242. The main reason I ever spontaneously tell others I'm vegan is that when people are getting to know each other, the topic of eating together - at each other's houses, or while out together - tends to come up pretty quickly, so I might as well tell someone early on. It also helps me spot other vegans, and the omnivores who don't get triggered by someone's decision not to consume animal products - always a pleasure to meet one of those, and thankfully there are many.

    2
  3249.  @NightRider2023-f1j  Ah yes, once you realise that no one's buying your disinformation, there's always whataboutism. Just so we're clear: 1) it was not a church (I know this from the video, did you watch it?) and 2) this video, and this comment section, is about Ukraine's effort to decolonise its heritage from russian interference and oppression. There's no need to bring up the English-speaking world in every single discussion that ever takes place.

  3250.  @mpakakas3518  America had nothing to do with the Revolution of Dignity, that's purely russian propaganda

  3251. They're greedy and insensitive because they're fighting for their lives? Any country getting fed up with Ukraine asking for things and putting themselves first should start by not indulging putin in any way, and consistently denouncing his genocidal war. Nothing less will cut it.

Where do you come from? And why do you assume that everyone who chooses to communicate in English must be American ?
    1
  3255.  @andrejpriterznik4034  Ok, thanks for confirming you are a pro-putin troll. putin btw is the only one responsible for the war in Ukraine: because he's the one who decided to invade.

  3256.  @Berengier817  And no one cares that you don't care...! This is a discussion thread under a video about getting off social media, which makes it the most appropriate place to share that piece of personal info with others.
    1
  3257.  @markfitzurka9995  ... so everyone commenting under YT videos isn't on social media? I'm asking because I've never had a social media account, commenting on YT is the closest thing to it I've ever done, and that only started 3 years ago (not even during the pandemic - after). Btw I'm resigned to having at least one person here refuse to believe me, it's happened before 🤣

  3258.  @odonovan  Even after all this time, part of me is still in shock that rf UN membership was even allowed to happen... and that it's been allowed to carry on in spite of the rf's blatant abuse of that position. I have lost all trust and respect for the UN.

  3259. Farage is a toxic individual who has done immense damage to the country and also the global community through Brexit, and fully intends to do even more damage - it is down to the people of Clacton, where he is standing for MP, to deny him of that opportunity. The theory that a country can be "provoked" to commit genocide is absolutely rotten. And NATO - of which I am not a fan, by the way - has only expanded eastward because eastern European countries jumped through hoops to join this alliance, as they have and are to join the EU: because they know what russia is capable of better than anyone.

  3260.  @tasarlapar456  Thank you, it's always good to hear directly from Ukrainians and I appreciate factual information, especially in these threads full of trolls! I thought that during ATO, yellow tape indicated volunteers - but admittedly, my main source of info about ATO is the film Наші Котики... Take care, mate, I hope your brother is OK. Please convey to him my utmost gratitude and respect. Слава Україні!💙💛 Solidarity from London.

  3274.  @ayoungethan  Thank you, you put this better than I would have. Though now I want to ask a native speaker whether the Ukrainian word for "rear" also doubles up as "butt" - if it doesn't, there's no way the double entendre could have been anticipated. Or maybe they're smarter than all of us put together, and were really having a dig at Greg Wallace...? 😂💙💛

  3280. Thank you  @sad0mar101  Not least for thinking I'm Ukrainian, it's a great compliment 😊 I do have some links with Ukraine and I'm learning the language. I care about that country deeply, but I also have no doubt that this already messed-up world will become much, much worse if russia succeeds in this genocide (besides, no genocide can ever make the world a better place). Pro-putin propaganda has made much of African countries siding with russia "against the West" so it's wonderful to hear from people like yourself and other commenters here, who recognise this as a colonial war. Respect!

  3282. Are there any videos showing "before and after" shots of russian POWs? I mean from when they're captured by Ukrainian forces, and just before release. Because I'm sure that, injuries aside, most of them go back home healthier than they were when they left. These guys are literally emaciated. It makes my blood boil 👿 Слава захисникам України ❤🖤

  3295.  @Freefall343  And one more thing, since the meaning of your vile comments has only just occurred to me: I wouldn't judge any country by the actions of a few border guards at times of peace, let alone in the first days of an immense crisis. As soon as the Ukrainian government became aware of what was happening at their Western border they took steps to fix it. There is also to be said that, while those border guards were wrong in what they did, they were prioritizing families with young children and/or elderly people over young, single people (pretty much everyone from an African or South Asian background trying to leave the country at that point was a student as far as I know). Finally, none of the above changes the fact that you are a troll.
    1
  3296.  @Freefall343  I added another comment. While you wait for it to load up, maybe work on your communication skills - even trolls need them.

  3297. Thanks for letting us all know you don't have a life,  @Freefall343  ☺ I had already posted it, it's in the thread. Give your grey matter a bit of exercise. Or just get out more.

  3298. Seriously, how do you know god's will? And are you aware of how it's been used, again and again, to justify anything from mass slaughter to torture to slavery?? The rest of your comment I agree with.
    1
  3299. It took them long enough to do something for Ukraine... and they seem to be expecting a lot of gratitude for "sending" old Patriots through the US, when they'll probably be getting the missiles that Ukraine was rightfully expecting... Zelenskiy said those are going "to the Middle East" now, but we all know that's more likely to mean israel than anything else. In that case, those missiles will be killing Palestinian children, instead of helping to keep Ukrainian children safe 🤬 Don't get me wrong, I'm happy every time Ukraine gets something useful from anyone, anywhere - but let's never forget what israel is doing, and has been doing for decades.

  3300.  @АнекдотыОднако More conspiracy theories 🙄

  3301.  @EvgeniyYakushev-m2u  It's not at all difficult to say how much money Ukraine had spent on Bakhmut or any other town and city prior to the full-scale invasion - these things are on record and also mentioned by various news outlets, as well as actual Ukranians who have had to leave those places because of the russian invasion, and are quite capable of telling the rest of us about their hometowns. What you say about Mariupol is disgusting, considering that we all know the city was wilfully distroyed last year by the genocidal invaders who continue to occupy it to this day. It is also known that all putin plans to build on the occupied territories are gulags and military bases.

  3315.  @gloomy5487  Anyone who can ask why someone finds scott ritter disgusting isn't worth the reply - so this is for anyone else who may come across this thread and give you the benefit of the doubt for one second. The man is a kremlin propagandist deliberately spreading misinformation about a genocide currently taking place. Oh, and he's been convicted of sexual offenses against minors. All in all, his wikipedia page makes for an interesting read (his book definitely won't). Thanks for confirming the gut feeling I had from your first reply, btw.

  3321.  @silentmajority8365  Are trump supporters able to make any statement that doesn't contain lies and obfuscation? It is perfectly possible to be racist against a nationality, it happens all the time - particularly when that nationality is associated with a particular ethnicity and/or religion and/or socioeconomic disadvantage. As for your story about the refuge in Manhattan, I'll believe it when I've looked at multiple news reports, which I have no time to search for (and you're certainly not posting any sources). There is also the very real issue of densely populated areas not being necessarily the best places for a refuge of that kind. Maybe if there were objections they were based on that.

  3351.  @sigmaputin6888  Every time a pro-russian troll comes up with that line I want to ask - what would the rf do if some of the regions bordering Kazakhstan, say, suddenly filled with "little green men", armed to the teeth, declaring independence with a phoney referendum, killing every local person who disagrees with them and the armed forces and volunteers from other parts of the country who were trying to restore order? Would they say, "Oh, OK, keep it I suppose, let's still be friends...?" Today I had the time to type that out. By they way, anyone who hasn't watched it yet, Operator Starsky made a good video about this troll line last year, all fact-checked, it's on his channel have a look.

  3354. Thank you Starsky for informing us about this important development - anything that protects Ukrainians is protecting all of us. I remember that young couple who were murdered when the woman was pregnant, not only from the news but because Oleksander Mykhed wrote about it in his brilliant book The Language of War. On a Saturday evening in late October 2022, I was walking from work to the Ukrainian rally outside Downing Street when I came across an Iranian rally in Trafalgar Square - the fact that Iran was supplying russia with Shakheds had only just hit the news, at around the same time as the protests that started after Masa Amini''s murder, and Iranians were raging. I spent a bit of time there, then walked on to the much smaller, weekly Ukrainian rally. Well... the Irainian joined us. I remember looking back towards Trafalgar Square to see a huge and very loud crowd filling Whitehall, chanting "Death to the Dictators" as they headed our way. The rallies merged into one. That's one of the most amazing memories of my life, but it's devasting to think that nearly three years on, all these horrors (and more) continue. While Ukraine is only one part of the world where people are suffering while resisting annihilation, it is somehow holding the whole world away from the brink of self-destruction. You have my endless gratitude and respect, and I'll keep supporting you in every way I can.

Ukrainians are clearly making their own decisions and will continue to do so. Even if the worst should happen in the US, leading to military aid to end or be drastically reduced, Ukrainians will not stop fighting russia, because they know, better than anybody else, that russia intends to wipe their nation off the face of the Earth. Might as well go down fighting.

I almost didn't click today, just to spare myself more pointless anxiety, but I'm glad I did, because I can see that you're going to keep shouting about this awful situation, empowering Americans to do something about it. I know this is needs to be dealt with at a local level, but I really hope that a nationwide network of activists will soon emerge, to coordinate actions taken and inform one another, and the nation (and the world!) about outcomes and ongoing difficulties. And name and shame these people, who, if I got this right, are sworn officials so they must be openly violating their oaths! If there's no penalty for that, what's the point in making them??

Btw, auto-translate tells me that you think you 'severely reprimanded me': does that reflect what you wrote, or are online translators as unreliable as I believe?

As is colonialism - and if the UK hadn't been a colonial nation, destabilizing other nations for profit over hundreds of years, there may not be so many refugees coming here now. Besides: the person charged with the murder and attempted murder of those children was neither a refugee nor a migrant, he was born in the UK.

  3391. ​ @williamtodd582 My initial reply to this thread got deleted, so I'll try again. These are pogroms - I'm grateful to the channel for using the right word - and the people involved belong in jail. As do the men who for decades sexually exploited young girls in Rotherham and other towns, and if the police had done their job, they would have gone to prison sooner, and that abuse would not have spread and continued for as long as it disgracefully did. The other people who belong in prison are the ones who wilfully spread the disinformation that so many chose to believe, giving rise to these pogroms: and that's the same disinformation that some in this comment section are choosing to believe and repeat. Because the person charged with the murders of those children in Southport is neither a Muslim, nor an immigrant.

  3392.  @williamtodd582  My replies to this thread somehow keep getting deleted, even though I'm not the one using hateful language. I'll keep trying. The person who attacked those children in Southport is neither a Muslim nor an immigrant. Like the people who took part in these pogroms, you are all choosing to believe and spread disinformation designed to incite hatred against people who live in the UK, or who are fully entitled to ask for asylum, or who are, in many cases, British citizens and contribute to this country. I am particularly upset to find someone in this thread using what happened in Rotherham and other towns to justify their racist statements: most of those crimes would have never taken place if the police had done their job at the time, and listened to the girls who were trying to tell them what was being done to them.

And are certainly not trying to gloss over any of it. Many of us openly protested against those wars. Crucially, we were not imprisoned for doing that.

  3463.  @oh_no_naming_is_hard  This channel's reports are always factual. Obviously they're from a Ukrainian point of view, otherwise I and many others wouldn't be there - getting your news about an unfolding genocide from the people perpetrating said genocide sounds like an unsavoury waste of time. Besides, "russia winning" definitely doesn't check out. And russia has also lost something that it will not get back for decades, if not centuries: the trust and respect of much the world.

  3464.  @stockdale829  The overriding concern seems to be - for you at least - that the war doesn't spill over into "our" world. If Ukrainians keep dying, or are used and abandoned to pacify the likes of putin, you don't care. So drop this b/s

  3470.  @instantparty8856  Since you clearly don't realise the difference, an internet search does not mean "research via social media", though certainly someone on social may link you to a source that you could then decide to investigate directly, if you wish to exercise your critical thinking capabilities. As for the subject at hand, the 2014-2022 phase of russia's war against Ukraine: In the 33rd report of UN OHCHR From 1 August 2021 to 31 January 2022: since 2014 the conflict in Eastern Ukraine incurred deaths over 14,000 as reported by UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, OHCHR. That is on both sides. Most killed were Ukrainian whether in Ukrainian government controlled or russian occupied areas. UN list 14 April 2014 -- Jan 31 2022 Taking into account the 298 people on board Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 which was downed on 17 July 2014, the total civilian death toll of the conflict has reached at least 3,405. The rest were military combatants. A remarkably low civilian death ratio compared to many modern conflicts. For the years 2014 to Jan 2022 Civilian deaths attributed to the conflict in each year were 2,084 , 854 ,112 ,117 ,55 ,27 ,26 ,27. From 1 August 2021 to 31 January 2022: "Thirty-two civilian casualties resulted from armed engagements. 3 killed (2 men and 1 woman) and 29 injured" 3 civilians killed resulted from armed engagements, 2 killed in territory controlled by self-proclaimed ‘republics’, and 1 in Government-controlled territory. 3 civilians died in mine or unexploded munitions incidents, 1 in territory controlled by self-proclaimed ‘republics’, 2 in Government controlled territory. Other civilian casualties recorded during the reporting period resulted from the presence on a daily basis of armed actors among the civilian population(escalations of force incidents, road incidents with military, and killings of civilians by military outside of hostilities). 12 August 2021, three civilians were shot dead by an intoxicated member of armed groups near armed group-controlled Sakhanka and Uzhivka (Donetsk region). 9 December 2021, a woman was killed and two men injured when one of the men detonated a hand grenade during a domestic dispute in Government-controlled Zvirove (Donetsk region).

  3472. If Ukraine surrenders, there's no more Ukraine (and their resources will be used by russia to wage war on other countries). So it makes no sense for them to surrender, no matter how bad this is. If russia surrenders, there's no more war. And russians will stop dying for nothing. So maybe stop trolling this channel and start pestering russians to do the only sensible thing at this point and pull out of Ukraine.

I knew straight off it was another one of their lies but I assumed they'd made it up in imaginary revenge for the recent Ukrainian raid on the western coast of Crimea. Now I'm wondering if they in fact managed to spin this real story into that 😂

  3489.  @ghost8596  Calling the Donbas conflict 'an ongoing civil war' is repeating putin's propaganda word by word - the propaganda that he has carefully cultivated for years and is now using as an excuse for the war that you don't support in any way. Please inform yourself before writing things like that. There's plenty of information out there, and the recently uncovered russian plan to destabilise Moldova is a pretty good illustration of what putin set in motion in the Donbas in 2014. Ukraine is not an imperialist or aggressive country and have simply been protecting and trying to regain their own territory, so it is appropriate to refer to it as peaceful

  3496.  @gingerfox7143  Which is the "chaotic nation" you're referring to? Because Ukraine is much less chaotic than the rf, and considering how long it's been under bombardment, that's impressive. Also, there's nothing "brotherly" about any bond that the rf has with any other country... that word is literally part of russian propaganda, we all need to stop using it in this context. And while it is indeed good for Ukraine to reach out to other nations, causing divisions between the rf and other countries is a fine reason to do anything.

He also publishes a weekly overview for the people who support the channel financially, something I imagine kremlin trolls like yourself don't do.

  3576.  @deancushen5822  NO ONE would have invaded the russian federation - it's a huge country full of nukes. Western leaders had been falling over themselves to do business with putin, even - shamefully - after the invasion of Ukraine in 2014. And having been invaded, and being at risk of further invasion, it's understandable that Ukraine would want to be part of NATO as well the EU. Ukraine in NATO would only have posed a threat to putin's imperialist ambitions: putin wants to take over all of Ukraine and use it as a stepping stone for his conquest of Europe. Everyone using even a fraction of their frontal cortex knows that.

I was sure you had something like this in the works... and it was even better than what I was expecting 😊 I've been watching Ukrainian food videos for a while now, it's a great way to learn the language and find out more about the culture. Here are two of my favourite Ukrainian food channels, which I think both Max and his viewers would appreciate: Authentic Food Around (mostly silent, traditional cooking in a farmhouse, very beautiful as well as informative videos), and its sister channel НАШІ БЕСАГИ (pronounced 'nashi besaky', which means 'our...saddlebag'...? - the bags they both carry over their shoulder in the picture, it makes sense when you see that. And if there's a word for it other than 'saddlebag' please let me know!). НАШІ БЕСАГИ shows food preparation from all over the country (including the amazing volunteers making dried insta meals for the army) - there are interviews and a Ukrainian voiceover that you can normally set the subtitles for, though even without subs it's worth watching. Finally, here's the lovely and very chatty Ukrainian TV chef Yevhen Klopotenko, making a traditional Christmas bread a few months ago (again, just set the subtitles - full recipe in English in the description box): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bKcYJPKe9c Enjoy! Thanks again for the video, Max 💙💛

  3586.  @АркадійХоткевич  This is pure white replacement theory. Fed to the world by white supremacists in the US - who are on putin's side. STOP doing their work for them by trying to spread it online.

  3587. For Ukrainian soldiers, surrendering is not a way of saving their own lives, but of handing their country over to putin so he can continue with the genocide of their entire nation... so that is simply not an option for them. They'll either 100% win, or cease to exist. No wonder they won't stop fighting.

  3588. ... nor with those who came to displace you from your home, because they've decided it belongs to them and you and your people don't actually exist. What will it take for a critical mass of people to see that israel and russia are doing fundamentally the same thing?? And I know many Ukrainians already get this - but I honestly don't know how anyone, anywhere, of any nationality, can look at Gaza without seeing Mariupol.

  3589. ​ @tana_ani Interesting how tens of thousands of deliberately slaughtered women and children don't remotely enter your argument. Also interesting is how Palestine hasn't been allowed to operate as a state for decades - note the uproar when a country like Ireland decides to recognize it - but you hold it up to the same international standards as a modern state created for the first time through terrorist acts, and maintained in the same way - with international support. Thank you for demonstrating that zionism is based on hypocrisy (its other foundation being g*n*c*d*).

  3594. I hope that after all this time dealing with mordor, Ukrainians can see through disinformation and lies by now - because that's what led to the pogroms you saw in this video. The person charged with the murders of those children is neither an immigrant nor a Muslim. Our government has been so busy persecuting brown people that right-wing terrorism has gone under their radar.

  3595.  @brentjamescollins9731  Thanks for never letting the trolls get to you, you always know how to respond! Though I must say that if Ukraine decided to train absolutely anyone who wants to take a chunk out of putin, I would totally understand and would have 0 problem with it.

Considering that you're making blatantly unsubstantiated claims, and suggesting that Zelensky should enable the enemy to rebuild his forces and start on the next round in a year or two, you would be wise to keep your military pedigree to yourself... it's embarassing.

  3604. russia is literally cheering the loss of life in Israel and most probably have a hand in the current escalation. They don't give a damn about Palestinian lives either, they're just accidentally speaking some truths about human rights violations in Palestine purely because it suits them. Please don't fall into their trap. I support Ukraine as I have always supported Palestine - not Hamas, and not what they're doing right now, especially because it's making things 100 times worse for Palestinians - and it does make sense to me how Ukrainians would see what's going on right now and empathise with the people of Israel. Ukrainians also have a huge stake in getting Israel to understand that "keeping russia on side", as they've been trying to do for nearly two years, always ends in tears. We need to keep speaking the whole truth, no matter how uncomfortable and difficult that is.

  3605.  @KwakuDuah-ok6up  What about the news over the last two 2+ years (unless you've been following this war since 2014) gives you the impression that anybody's "playing"?

  3606.  @KwakuDuah-ok6up  1) you didn't even remotely answer my question and 2) this war will only end with Ukraine's complete victory, that is, russia ceasing all hostilities, withdrawing to 1991 borders, returning all captives and paying reparations. Any other outcome will only empower russia and other totalitarian regimes to start more wars. I know that because I do think about how to end the war.
    1
  3607.  @KwakuDuah-ok6up  How interesting, I replied and my reply got deleted... so let me say it again: BECAUSE I think about how to end the war, I know that nothing but a complete Ukrainian victory anad russian defeat will bring nothing but more war.

It is something they've wanted for over a decade, they have clearly thought about it a lot. What freedom has the UK gained, or regained, by leaving the EU? Is even one single thing better than it was? All brexit did was make putin happy. Because he knew it would weaken the UK. That's why he got his troll farms to help.

  3633. I won't reply directly to the comment below because bots get paid for engagement and @louisecorchevolle9241 is undoubtedly a kremlin bot account - so I'll just add that mafiosi need to be called by their proper name by anyone who talks about them, regardless of their position. If Western politicians had started referring to putin as the don of the biggest mafia cartel in the history of the world *years ago*, when it became obvious, they would not have empowered him to start this and other wars.

They did touch on a number of factors affecting their field, so if you feel that they constantly talked about lockdown measures, that says more about you than it does about them. Incidentally, I'm having to reply to my own comment because yours doesn't take replies anymore, is that a glitch or a measure of how much you don't want to hear that the measures that made you feel safe did immense and disproportionate damage to others, and to society as a whole?

Their last president had - one can assume deliberately - degraded the army to a point that, in the turmoil following the Maidan protests, Ukrainians were literally not in a position to fight for Crimea. Thankfully for all of us, they were then able to stop the spread of russian proxy forces in the Donbas, until the army picked itself up to match the level of grassroots organising.

As it was obvious that it would - that's why all of us "snowflakes" were in the streets shouting ourselves hoarse at the beginning of this century.

The reservoir was apparently very unhealthy ecologically by the time the dam was blown up, I remember people talking about that last autumn, even. I doubt an unnatural reservoir could be better for the environment than a huge carbon sink helping to absorb some of the pollution caused by the war, while restoring the devastated ecology of the region.

RFK Jr played his carts right: he cultivated his toxic little cult until the moment came to offer it to trump.

  3706.  @АндрейЛарин-в6н  You in russia have long been accustomed to the arts of lying and invading, oppression, population displacement, and other despicable practices, and the fact that so many of you are still proud of it is a daily demonstration of how undeveloped your "great culture" actually is. Finally, more and more people around the world are starting to see you as you really are - I just hope it's not too late to neutralise the threat to Ukraine and the world. And since you came up with specific examples: Ukranian has a native word for "soup" that has nothing to do with the French loan word imposed on it by russian occupiers. Not to mention that when russians say "flag" they say, well, flag, while Ukrainians use the native word "prapor" (I don't have a Cyrillic keyboard on this device, hence the transliteration).

  3708. ​ @fairworldorder  You don't seem to know that linguistics is a science, and its findings are based on empirical, verifiable observations. Now this may be hard for you, because supporters of russia and/or maga tend to be pathologically fact-phobic, but there is a huge amount of empirical data demonstrating beyond a shred of doubt that Ukrainian, Belarusian and Polish are all different languages, much closer to each other than they are to russian. The only two in that group that are to a large extent mutually intelligible are not Ukrainian and russian, or Ukrainian and Polish, or russian and Polish, but Ukrainian and Belarusian. And as for russophobia 🙂 наша русофобія недостатньа 💙💛

  3709. @Jeff-m9o2e Is this latest young school shooter (what an absurd thing to even be typing out) transgender? First I hear of it. Please point me to a source for this piece of information. I'm assuming that by "promote trans kids" you are referring to some parents' attempt to get adequate healthcare and civil rights for their own children who are or may be transgender. Adequate healthcare, civil rights and general acceptance in society would go a long, long way towards lowering the risk of any of these kids hurting themselves, being hurt by others (still the two most likely options), or hurting others. Not least because timely access to adequate healthcare would help to spot and treat any unidentified mental health problems.

  3715. Glad to see russian people getting a taste of what Ukrainians have been going through for nearly 10 years - and all Ukrainians did to deserve it was trying to improve their own country, while many russians have, to some extent, been complicit in genocide for over a year. Now let's not forget that prigozhin is no hero, rooting for him would be like rooting for Isis against Assad - they're all malignant hellspawn. Obviously there's some pleasure in watching putin's genious plan to allow mercenaries and criminals to gain huge power hit him in the face like a boomerang, but let's not bask in shadenfreude: Ukrainian cities got shelled again last night, 20 Azov fighters are on trial in russia for "being nazis", russian forces are still capable of committing atrocious acts such destroying the chemical plant on the Crimean border, or Zaporizhzha nuclear power station. I don't actually care what happens next in russia. I only care about these events destabilising their forces in ways that the UAF can exploit to collapse the frontline and regain territory. Thank you RfU for the excellent reporting. Слава Україні 💙💛

  3720. Thank you, that's what I think as well. One of the main people behind the misinformation that led to these pogroms (known as Tommy Robinson, currently hiding abroad) has been linked to MAGA money over the years, I'm sure there's got to be russian money in there too.
    1
  3721. A post-war auction of the President's wartime T-shirts should raise enough money to rebuild a hospital, at least. Mind you, Ukrainians have a talent for making the best of their icons (that stamp, earlier this year...and debit cards already being issued with a pic of the burning bridge) so someone has probably thought of this already. 🇺🇦

  3722.  @JJ03330  This war was started by putin, who wants to erase Ukraine and use its resources to start waging war on other neighbouring countries. All it would take to "sort it" is for the rf to cease all hostilities and return all occupied territories to 1991 borders - and all captives - to Ukraine immediately. To believe that the US and UK had any part in starting this war is just good old-fashioned Western narcissicism - we really don't want to believe we're not protagonists of this story.

  3726. Hearing Israel express concern for civilian casualties in Ukraine makes me as sick as hearing russian officials express concern for civilian casualties in Gaza... I don't blame Ukraine accepting any help it can get, and it's always a good idea to separate russia from more of its allies (and from the countries that have stayed on the fence about this war just to keep putin sweet). But Israel is committing genocide and they know it. I walk around with both Ukraine and Palestine badges very visible on my bag or coat, not just at demos but everywhere, and many people respond positively to seeing them together - or at least try to have a reasonable conversation. Good to see Serhyi remain realistic about Israel, and clearly not expressing respect for them. My blood is boiling about what's happening in Ukraine and in Palestine and how ineffectual our politicians are in dealing with any of it. I feel like making a placard that just says "GENOCIDE IS BAD" and taking it to demostrations, whatever they're for 🤬

  3728.  @NightRider2023-f1j  I don't know how you can say that so confidently, considering that the Ukrainian government is not releasing the number of military casualties. However, that's not denying that there have been many losses, military and civilians, and that Ukraine is having to come to terms with having a high number of disabled people for decades to come.

Bearing in mind that some of the WIAs will have been sent back in (even before fully recovered - there's plenty of evidence) and some may have then turned into KIAs. But there must tens of millions of russian citizens who would never be drafted, and some (little boys 😭) who won't be for years to come. And some of the killed and wounded weren't russian to begin with.

  3742.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  I agree, however slowing down is not about accent, and not speaking too fast is one of the basic rules of any kind of public speaking. I'm also aware that as someone who's already bilingual, works with languages and is now learning Ukrainian, I can't expect everyone to have the same tolerance for non-standard English that I have. And right or wrong, some people are less likely to watch a video till the end if they find the language hard to understand.

  3743. The funny thing is, that may well have taken place, but the russian federation has reached some depths of depravity, incompetence and chaos that they're making the West look good in comparison (I mean, North Korea will soon look good in comparison to the rf). I would have been so easy to gain and hold the moral high ground over the West - and the russian federation has completely, miserably failed on all fronts. And doing so, it has given our countries a chance to reform themselves. Thanks.

  3746.  @scottowensbyable  It's not 'throwing money', it's providing them with the resources they need to keep defending themselves from a genocidal aggression. Ukrainians are actually using everything they get very well, and if they'd had more, sooner, there would have been less death and destruction, less occupied territory to liberate and reintegrate, and a shorter war.
    1
  3747.  @dannythomson5239  Kremlin propagandists have made it abundantly clear that they have no intention of stopping at Ukraine. The same regime has already interfered in foreign elections and referendums, and has been sponsoring a terrorist militia responsible for countless human rights abuses in various regions of the world. Therefore, anything but the total, unspinnable and irreversible defeat of the Kremlin will lead to further destabilisation all over the globe (not least in russia itself). And that means that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are protecting us all.
    1
  3748.  @dannythomson5239  So what? muskovy 'should' be left alone to obliterate a whole nation (and then keep going, as is obvious to anyone not in deep denial) just because the US and UK have pursued an aggressive foreign policy for hundreds of years? All imperialist nations matter? Imperialism has to end. And it ends right here. Слава Україні, смерть ворогам💙💛

People like Sternenko and Sokolova regularly call out the government and local authorities over this sort of thing, other investigative journalists too, and they keep making noises until it turns up in the news and, often, it is acted on. Of course, if you're a troll - as you seem to be, tbh - you will only follow what allows you to keep trying to smear Ukraine in order to reduce international support. Which is a waste of time, but hey, it's your time

  3758. Go tell putin to "beg for peace", he's the one who started the war and could end it in one day by ceasing hostilities and withdrawing his troops from all occupied Ukrainian territories. If Ukraine surrenders or settles for anything other than full deoccupation, it will be finished as a country, and both the rf and other totalitarian powers will just start more wars.

  3759.  @user-ul9zt2ww6o  No, the lie is pretty much everything that comes of out of the mouths of putin supporters (regardless of their nationality). Clearly you're all still reeling with the shock of finding out that most people in the world 1) no longer believe anything you say and 2) are starting to go over everything that's ever come out of russia over the past few centuries, picking out all the lies that together hold up the russian identity.

  3780.  @dannydxm  Ukrainian inspectors were not allowed on the crash site so that was probably a NATO cover-up to avoid having to take action against the rf. Similarly, Romania could have been put under NATO pressure to deny they were hit by the rf - that's not a given, but far from impossible

  3781.  @allegorx58  trump only kept two of his promises: one was to interfere with women's rights over their own bodies, the other was... to cut taxes for the rich - which presumably includes those giant corporations you claim to despise. As for "establishment politicians", as long as they're reasonably competent and not demented neonazis, why should anyone have a problem with them? If you need surgery, would you rather be cut open by an amateur or an "establishment surgeon"? Mind you, you'll only have that problem if Harris wins - trump would demolish healthcare in his first year back in office.

But there's actually a critical mass of Americans who understand when their country is and isn't at risk, that's why so many people were vocally against the wars in the Middle East, for example.

  3791.  @juanjuan5698  Why do you post the same ignorant message all over the comment section? Here's how @williamjacobs replied to your exact same comment, just above: @juanjuan5698 It's called a "baseline". Viewers of RFU know Russia takes ground every day. Thing is, it's with unsustainable losses of Russia's husbands and sons. This time, Russia performed two flanking maneuvers successfully; one of them with low losses of troops. They have outperformed the baseline and we wish to know. If Russia could do this consistently, we'd worry (more) for them. They are making much worse progress conquering Ukraine than the USSR did with Afghanistan even if they could achieve this level of success, say, weekly. But how much of Afghanistan is still under Soviet control? Ukraine can win even if they lose every single formal battle. The Russian sympathizer confidence makes no sense to anyone with vague knowledge of history.

Now, if I can just bring you back to the beginning of the video, they started by saying that the current situation is due to design faults and careless construction - and there's no contradiction between that and what you say in your last comment. You obviously knew your first comment was a nonsensical bit of trolling, that's why you've abandoned the "poor maintenance" line as if you'd never posted it on the internet. So you may think you're being a clever troll here, but you're just shooting yourself in the foot. Which is just what any rational being has come to expect of anyone who takes the kremlin's line about anything.

And tbh I'm fascinated not so much by the amoung of kremlin trolling under this video, but by the style of trolling: most comments here, like the one I'm replying to, are pushing the "nihilistic" strand of kremlin propaganda - "Nothing matters, there's no such thing as truth, no such thing as hope, you can't believe anyone anyway, you may as well let putin destroy Ukraine and the world...blah blah blah".

  3822. These pogroms would be wrong and horrifying in any case, but as it happens, Muslims have nothing whatsoever to do with what happened to those children last week. However, now it's Muslims who are terrified of going outside and carrying on with their lives.

  3823.  @StarskyUA  I'm grateful for this thread because I'm in the same quandary: I don't think I have any skills that would be useful in Ukraine at the moment (I can't even drive!), and as much as I want to visit, I wouldn't want to potentially be a burden if I do get caught up in an emergency. Ukrainian first responders risk a double tap every time they go out after a rocket attack, I don't want anyone to risk their lives to pull me out of the rubble! I honestly feel that Ukrainians are already risking - some of them, giving - their lives so that war doesn't reach me and my loved ones in western Europe. On the other hand, friends have invited me to join them next time they go home, and I do know that many Ukrainians really appreciate foreign visitors to their country at this time. I'm still weighing all this up.

  3828.  @KevinKenna-wv6qx  Well, if Biden really was incapable of running for the most important job in the world, and incapable of seeing that, the people who, in your words, "forced him out" should be commended as patriots who did the best thing for the country. If, as seems to be the case, he made his own decision about it - with some encouragement from a number of donors and democratic figures - and his team gave him the chance to do that and then supported him, they should be commended for being loyal to their president as well as committed to the country. The thing I find really funny about maga trolls at the moment, is that whatever way you try to make Harris look bad, you're always paying her a compliment 😂

Actually what I hope will happen is that someone with better skills than I have will create something like an instagram story showing the origin and spread of this hoax (doesn't it feel weird to use a bit of magaspeak correctly), attaching the evidence to each step, perhaps juxtaposing it against the debate timeline. It would be so cool if something like that could go viral on social media, instead of the usual maga rubbish. And it would be educational as well - once information hygiene classes make into schools, it could be one of the lessons!

  3836.  @nickfielding5685  Ah well, if you're going to spam the whole comment section with this ridiculous comment, I'm going to spam your inbox with my reply... at least my spelling is better than yours: @nickfielding5685 Crimea and the Donbas were occupied by proxy russian forces in 2014, as russians themselves have freely admitted since. I don't know how Zelensky would have broken the Budapest memorandum by recognising Kosovo, that literally makes no sense. Scotland is a nation in the UK that does have a strong independence movement, and I'm sure that once it does manage to achieve and declare independence, it will be recognised. Same with Wales. The problem with Catalonia is that they declared independence after holding a referendum without the permission of the Spanish government, and sadly with the way things work in the world at present, that's not a good idea. Kindly tell us what the russian federation would do to any of its regions that decided to declare independence, for example Tatarstan or Ichkeria... oh, wait. Yeah. Palestine is a nation that's been occupied by a terrorist fascist state for decades, aided and abetted by a number of supposedly civilized countries including the US and the UK. In my unwavering support of Palestine I never for a single minute forget that the obliteration of Ukraine at the hands of russia would not help Palestinians one jot.

  3837. All that destroyed expensive Western gear... nust be why russians had to take pictures of their own mashed up vehicles and tell the world they were Ukrainian. Except that they weren't telling the world, just their own people. Which is why they didn't make much of an effort to disguise their own markings on the vehicles... it's also why they thought filming themselves shooting at combine harvesters in a field would do the trick... russians who watch russian news will believe anything. The people in this comment section will not.

  3838.  @SamsungSamsung-tm9eu  oppression is not "friendship". I really don't see how anyone who is neither lying nor hallucinating could pin this war on "Anglo-Saxons": they are responsible for many, many other wars for sure, but this one is firmly on putin and anyone who supports him. Ukrainians, Belarusians and russians (you get your capital initial back when you stop committing genocide and start paying reparations) are very obviously NOT "one people". I know that because Ukrainians have been telling me for years.

Unlike you trolls, I try not to copy and paste my comments all over a comments section... but since you are, here's my reply again, from above: @HeyItsMeNick "surrendering to russia" and "living" don't go together for Ukrainians. The aggressor country has clear, explicit genocidal aims. Ukrainians have no choice but to continue fighting.

  3841.  @pattismith4693  I stand with Ukraine regardless - besides, many Ukrainians, including some in this comment section, understand the terrorist nature of the Israeli state. I fully disagree with what Hamas is doing - particularly the indiscriminate violence against civilians - but Palestinians have been treated like vermin on their own land for decades, so something like this was bound to happen sooner or later. Let's not forget that many, many more Palestinians than Israelis have died and will die.

They took particular pleasure in informing us that no one else was injured because everyone else in the area took the shark warnings seriously... except that one guy, who happened to be sunning himself on a beach while his countrymen are getting massacred to execute their president's genocidal orders. Oh and while you're shaking your head about the barbarous Ukrainians, find us a few reports of the UAF castrating live POWs or slowly decapitating them with knives, won't you?

Supporting or tolerating or denying g*n*c*d*, now that's disgusting.

  3847. It is widely known that Zelensky has even more support in Ukraine now than he did before the start of the full-scale invasion... I have personally heard Ukrainians who used to be openly critical of him expressing genuine respect and support for their President.

  3850.  @Кирилл-ж4ф3я  Oh, I know the concept of genocide - maybe you need to look it up again. Then you will see that there isn't a single point of the definition of genocide that russia hasn't committed in Ukraine since February 2022. The intent to wipe out Ukraine as a sovereign country and as a nation has been made clear repeatedly by multiple russian politicians and propagandists. And the denial of genocide, in comment like yours, for example, is in itself a propaganda weapon used very intentionally to continue perpetrating genocide on the Ukrainian people.

Btw it is perfectly possible and allowed to be a scholar and have ideas, the two are not mutually exclusive... and while I don't see him as being "rabidly anti-russian", that is just a sign of being sentient, in this day and age.

There was nothing "like logic and accountability" in your original comment, so you don't get that back.

  3884. No American - or anyone else, for that matter - is in a position to demand any such decision from Ukraine. Elections were postponed in some parts of the world because of Covid - London's mayoral election, for example - so I don't think postponing a general election while the country is fighting off a genocidal invasion, and a huge number of citizens has been deported or is held captive, means that a country is any less democratic than it was a few years before. Graham's support for Ukraine is the only bright spot in his shameful political record... he needs to shut up and I sincerely hope Zelensky will put him in his place.

  3886. You don't seem to have noticed that most Ukrainians are already volunteering, working without pay, donating products, etc... And why exactly should they hold their elections "on the cheap"? Besides, they would literally have to amend their constitution to hold elections, on the cheap or otherwise, because their constitution does not allow the dissolution of Parliament under martial law. Are you saying that the Ukrainian constitution is worthless? But of course you are. Only a kremlin troll would claim that over 20 million Ukranians have left the country since the war started.

  3887.  @djjazzyjeff1232  trump is putin's puppet, and we all know what putin's doing... Plus, he is openly intending to keep spreading hate, and either dismantle democratic institutions or weaponise them for his benefit and the benefit of those most likely to make him rich... and he's openly planning to keep destroying the environment and trample on the basic human rights of millions upon millions of people... Oh and he's allergic to truth, and determined to make everyone forget that truth is even a thing. That's what you've got to gain by voting that man back in: the USA will start devolving into the russian federation (which already exists btw, so if that's really where you want to live, just move... they love their American "friends")

Operator Starsky did a good video on this last year, only quoting fact-checked sources, and Ksenia Turkova's channel is also well worth checking out, she's a counterpropagandists who has mentioned this aspect of kremlin propaganda in more than video. There are plenty of decent, rational and well-informed people on YT, no need to listen to trolls like the one I'm replying to and their "colleagues" in this and other threads.
    1
  3893.  @Durnyful  Because we've been doing a lot of research, we know that russians are not a persecuted minority in Ukraine and never were - russia is the colonial power that Ukrainians have been fighting, in its various incarnations, for a long long time. Because we've been watching the news, we know that Ukrainians of russian descent have been murdered in their thousands by putin's forces, over the past 16 months. I know and know of many russian-speaking Ukrainians that have switched or are switching to the Ukrainian language because they're so disgusted with russia.

  3894. The 2003 invasion of Iraq undeniably destabilised the whole region. It's not just me saying this, look through some of the stuff published on mainstream media like the BBC for the 20th anniversary earlier this year.

  3905. When I first heard that trump has a "personal pastor" I was very confused... I literally don't understand what Mr Burns' job could be, since trump clearly has no soul. However I respect him, not so much for understanding that supporting Ukraine is moral and vital (that's the lowest common denominator - and he could have visited BEFORE making those damaging and offensive statements), but for publicly admitting that he was wrong about Ukraine. trump's people normally just say the opposite of what they said before, lying and obfuscating to mess with people's heads as much as possible. In that climate, someone stating so clearly that he was wrong, and what made him change his mind, is very important. I think I'll listen to that whole speech now - I'd been avoiding it. Thank you Sternenko and team for your invaluable work. ❤🖤

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.

  3928. Precisely because the EU (along with the rest of the world) is far from perfect in this respect, I believe that Ukraine joining while they're on this massive anti-corruption drive will raise standards for all member states, and beyond. From someone who grew up in Italy.

The opposite is much likely to happen because most supporters of Ukraine are in fact not trolls, so we don't spend ages clicking on pro-russian videos to troll their comment sections and report them for all anything under the sun. I prefer to use my limited time and energy to get news from reputable sources - like this one! - and learning Ukrainian. But in the RF, trolling us literally an industry

  3950.  @nickfielding5685  Ah well, if you're going to spam the whole comment section with this ridiculous comment, I'm going to spam your inbox with my reply... at least my spelling is better than yours: @nickfielding5685 Crimea and the Donbas were occupied by proxy russian forces in 2014, as russians themselves have freely admitted since. I don't know how Zelensky would have broken the Budapest memorandum by recognising Kosovo, that literally makes no sense. Scotland is a nation in the UK that does have a strong independence movement, and I'm sure that once it does manage to achieve and declare independence, it will be recognised. Same with Wales. The problem with Catalonia is that they declared independence after holding a referendum without the permission of the Spanish government, and sadly with the way things work in the world at present, that's not a good idea. Kindly tell us what the russian federation would do to any of its regions that decided to declare independence, for example Tatarstan or Ichkeria... oh, wait. Yeah. Palestine is a nation that's been occupied by a terrorist fascist state for decades, aided and abetted by a number of supposedly civilized countries including the US and the UK. In my unwavering support of Palestine I never for a single minute forget that the obliteration of Ukraine at the hands of russia would not help Palestinians one jot.

  3952.  @hardywatkins7737  I finally had the time to have a proper listen to the lecture you recommended... I'm going to recommend it to everyone I talk to about Ukraine from now on. Listening in 2023 is both chilling and illuminating, horrifying and empowering. The way he explains all the "big words" he uses and makes relatable analogies and examples makes this lecture accessible to most people, and his words are as relevant now as they were then, if not more.

  3953.  @hardywatkins7737  Thanks, I have watched a few of his videos (there's just so much important content and so many hours in the day!) but I hadn't noticed that one. I've heard Snyder say similar things with regards to the russia obsession with Crimea. It's interesting how, if you scratch away at russian supremacy, you'll just find a pathetic, provincial culture that never really developed because it was too busy trying to emulate other cultures, while pretending it wasn't... like the school bully "stealing" dance moves from the other kids, then telling everyone who'll listen that they stole those moves from him

  3958. Nothing can ever be as ridiculous - not to mention revolting - than putin's trolls intent on twisting reality in front of our eyes. As a quick search will show, Ukraine has actually rebuilt a fair bit of Bucha and other towns devastated by russian airstrikes and occupation - they have done and continue to do that while under fire. The people remaining in Mariupol and other occupied cities, towns and villages are not living in peace now: they are living under occupation, and are traumatised, persecuted and oppressed. We know all this from multiple sources, not least the people themselves, when they manage to get the information out. Ukraine, in spite of the huge economic blows deliberately dealt to it by the genocidal dictatorship you support, can afford quite a lot and has been meticulously planning for reconstruction for over a year. And this process will become more straightforward now that the frozen wealth of putin and his accomplices is finally being redirected to the country he's been unsuccessfully trying to destroy for so long, he must have forgotten why he even started.

I'm not in the habit of copying and pasting my replies all over a comments section, but then again, that's what you're doing... So here's my reply to the same comment you posted above: Gratitude has a big place in my ethics. That's why I'm immensely grateful to Ukrainians and make sure I tell them whenever I get the chance. Some good points have been made in this thread so I won't repeat them... but if you're expecting Ukrainians to grovel to the US foreverafter you'll be sorely disappointed. This is not a wayward teenager who got into a scrape, that you're saving out of the goodness of your heart... this is a whole country, taking the brunt of the aggression that your country had spent the best part of a century preparing for. How about you try being grateful?

I will never let anyone, from anywhere, at any stage of my life, gloss over the crimes against humanity committed by russia in this war. Never.

  3985.  @nataliiv9699  I know that a few politicians have adult sons who are currently safe abroad and doing nothing at all for Ukraine while their busy social lives are plastered all over their social media accounts, and I understand that's making many Ukrainians angry. But what's strange about trying to keep one's own family safe? Particularly minor children. Millions of Ukrainians have taken their children abroad, after all. While 24.02.22 was a horrible shock, it was no surprise, and I don't blame anyone who had the means to send their children out of the country for doing so. There are also Ukrainian politicians whose families remain in the country. I'm noticing more and more anger being turned inwards - and while I believe it's a sign of a healthy society to criticise those in power, please remember that any infighting in Ukraine is a gift to the rf.

I also know for a fact that, as you say, no Western leader wanted this war. If anything, they contributed to it by not being tougher on putin and his people before last year. Speaking for the UK, where I live, our vile politicians were completely seduced by the oligarchs' money (parked in London in vast quantities, in the form of luxury properties, for example) and by their own warped sense of being able to 'handle' these people. Watching this video, as well daily updates from the front and a number of Ukrainian bloggers, I'm also sick of our leaders who pat themselves and each other on the back for "helping" Ukraine, even though they sat on the material resources to end the invasion much sooner, saving lives and avoiding so much of the devastation that has taken place.

I understood well over haaaaalf 🥳 and really enjoyed it. Thank you, and so much love and respect to Ukraine for keeping culture alive and thriving at such a difficult time. To me, people reading on a park bench in war time is what resilience looks like. 💙💛 I liked Never Let Me Go when I read it years ago, I was happy to hear someone share their love for this novel. At the moment, I'm translating some difficult texts from Italian (about book history, of all things) so I'm not reading anything for leisure - when I'm done with this piece of work, I'll reward myself with a double reading of Forest Song, in Italian and English translation. I also have a bilingual poetry collection by Iryna Shuvalova by my bedside, I love reading a poem before turning off the light. Later this summer I'll read The Orphanage by Zhadan. And I'll keep studying Ukrainian so at some point I'll be able to read literature in the original language, and translate it into English. Україна назавжди!

Whether or not you're one of putin's minions, that makes you a troll - perhaps even worse than one of his actual trolls, at least they're in it for the money, and maybe some sort of twisted ideology. Besides, since it was widely known - not least from this channel - that the UAF would retreat from Bakhmut at the right time, that was not what my original reply to you was about. I was pointing out that the title was not as misleading as you were making it out to be. Now go crawl back under your rock, I've wasted enough words on you.

  4029.  @Tim.Weaver  I've been listening (from the UK) to Rachel Maddow talking about this... I think she'll keep raising it, interviewing different people and encouraging Americans to take and demand meaningful action to contain this threat in the run up to the election. I do realise that this must be done at local level, because the problem is occurring at that level, but I really hope that in the coming weeks we'll see a nationwide netowork of activists in all the affected counties, communicating about how local issues are being dealt with. Please Americans, don't take your foot off the pedal... You know all those movies and comics where Americans get to save the world? This is it, in real life, this is what you get to do this year (and beyond). Just don't forget that the threat is home-grown, rather than alien - and that's good in a way, because after you successfully contain it, you'll be able look at how it was created, and take steps to dismantle it at source.

  4032. We need russia to immediately cease all hostilities, withdraw all troops from Ukrainian territory to 1991 borders, return all captives - military and civilian, adults and children - acknowledge their war crimes, hand over all war criminals and start paying reparations. After that, they can start sorting out their calamitous country, or however many countries the rf turns into. Then maybe they can regain the respect of the world.

  4034. And you would think that in such a situation, and having been invaded by a much larger country stuffed with nukes, a country like Ukraine would be entitled to the "great Boost" of dozens of countries supplying you with weapons... though I would hardly describe what Ukraine has had so far as "every equipment you need in a war": if Ukraine had truly got everything they needed when they first needed it, this war would be over by now, Ukraine would be rebuilding and the world would be a much safer place than it is now.

Quite apart from the fact that there's enough evidence of russian and russian-backed forces in the Donbas bombing the territories they'd already occupied and were supposed to be defending. That's what happened again recently, btw. And let's not forget who shot down a passenger plane and tried to pin it on Ukrainian forces. And if you think you'll convince anyone that a president who could have accepted a "ride" out of trouble and lived the rest of his life in safety and comfort with his family, but decided to stay and do everything he could to make sure his country survived an unprovoked invasion... well, don't hold your breath.

Reasoning with someone making a comment like yours is like trying to reason with someone in the middle of psychotic episode: I may empathise with them, but I probably feel in danger and I most certainly wouldn't let that person, in their current state, influence any decisions that can have an impact on my life. I must point out that I have no empathy for you, because unlike someone suffering from actual psychosis, you choose to be religious (even if you were born into it - religion is always a choice), and you choose to impose your religious beliefs on others, while no one is trying to make you have a sexual relationship with someone of the same sex. And "promote lust"? Seriously? Do you hear yourself??

  4061.  @Consume_Crash  The point I made, quite clearly, is that it's pointless trying to reason with a person who sees nothing but religion, because they are effectively sick in the head. Unlike people who are truly mentally ill however, people like you choose to be sick, choose to remain sick, and keep trying to make others sick. And no, nobody has to prove to you that a world without homophobia wouldn't be bad. Now goodbye.

Heteronormativy is basically the assumption that only heterosexual lives can and should be seen, and that's also an ideology - one that is part of the manifesto of a number of "political entities".

The situation in Ukraine, complex as it is, is still relatively simple compared to some of the examples you made, therefore it's been easier for people to get behind even if they were unfamiliar with the background until last year. Besides, a resounding defeat for the rf will make this kind of thing less likely to happen in future, while if they come out of it with anything they can spin into some sort of victory, this kind of war will definitely happen again, in Ukraine and elsewhere, by the end of this decade. I didn't type all that for you, for all the figures and place names you threw at us you don't come across as someone who has an interest in reality, and you may well be one of Putin's professional gaslighters...

  4110.  @DieFlabbergast  Theft from a state that doesn't exist anymore?? If you believe Crimea is not Ukraine you DO NOT support Ukraine, stop deluding yourself, you are spouting pure kremlin propaganda. Crimea was dumped on Ukraine after it became obvious that deporting its entire native population in 1945 had done huge damage to the peninsula. Ukrainians fixed it up with the resources they had, and eventually many of the Crimean Tatars who'd survived deportation, and their descendants, returned from central Asia and settled once more in what had always been their land, even before it was part of the Ottoman Empire. And then putin decided to steal it, even before the Revolution of Dignity that was obviously always the plan - such a takeover can't happen overnight - and our cowardly governments let him. I would say "end of story" at this point, but this story ends with Crimea becoming again an autonomous region of Ukraine after kicking out every russian who settled there since 2014.

I hadn't even posted the link, just the title!! Anyone interested, just search for key words and it will come up. On a similar topic, I've been following Ukrainian sources about the "baby forest" growing back where the Kakhovka reservoir was from the 50s until a year ago - but I don't think I've read or watched anything about it in English yet. It's fascinating from a scientific point of view, and I have found it very hopeful and emotional to listen to.

  4115.  @mvs9122  Thanks for contradicting your own points as you make them ☺ Ukraine joining NATO could never have been an existential threat to the rf, BECAUSE the rf has nuclear weapons. Ukraine wanted and wants to join NATO because the rf had proved itself to be an existential threat to Ukraine. The only thing under threat from Ukraine's now inevitable membership of NATO is russian expansionism, and seriously, the rf has the biggest landmass in the world, they should look after it and the people who live there, instead of always be scheming to grab more from other countries. As for your second point, Ukrainian is a bilingual (in fact multilingual) nation, and russian-speaking Ukrainians are a reality - which is probably why putin has been slaughtering and deporting them in huge numbers, leading to many russian-speaking Ukrainians to switch to Ukrainian as their main language and develop a deep-rooted hatred of everything russian. As for russia being bigger and stronger, have a look at Michelangelo's David... or read "Puss in Boots"... And yes, the rf will indeed pay any price: it is plumbing the depths of depravity in a way few countries have over the course of human history, and will inevitably fragment in the near future. No one will have to break it up: they are crumbling from within, as a country and as a people. Rot will do that to any edifice.

What a great channel, I never miss an episode 😊 Good luck wih the kitchen renovation mission!

  4140.  @Максим-т4ю6м  Conceding to putin would only mean freezing the war for a few more years, then it will come back. It's not like this hasn't happened before. No peace can come from negotiating with a psychopathic criminal and his supporters and apologists. And not everyone is alive anymore - because putin has got so many people killed, and has no intention of stopping. He'd just like a little pause to catch his breath and regroup. Having said that, Ukraine's most powerful Western allies have been pathetic in the way they've let military aid dribble in, or stop and start, and put conditions on its use... I am disgusted by that, it all should have happened sooner, faster, and the war would be over by now. So I'm not surprised that Ukrainians are exhausted, but please don't let putin mess with your heads. 💙💛

  4141.  @khaartoumsings  They can actually vote people into office and out of it. Some Americans are currently raising hell to stop putin's favourite puppet and his cult from messing with election results so he can get back into power and stay out of jail, but for now, your statements about the USA are just typical troll fare.

  4142. Well, no. But they are doing amazingly considering the situation they're in, and the shameful conduct of some US politicians causing massive delays to military aid at the most sensitive time. It's agonising to think of the Ukrainian soldiers killed or maimed holding the frontline while waiting for the weapons they should have had all along

  4145. Damn, the Ukrainian voiceover for the first Lindsey Graham quote lulled me into a false sense of security... obviously I knew there was be a second, contrasting quote on the way, but I didn't think I'd have to hear his actual vooooice...! 🤮 Honestly people, that guy is a snake - US talk-shows have produced several clips of him contradicting himself over the years. He has no moral compass - or spine - whatsoever. Use him as much as you can but never rely on him. Thank you Sternenko and team for your work. An unexpected consequence of watching your videos daily is the deep and honest conversations I get to have with Ukrainians I meet in London, because they know they can trust me and don't have to explain absolutely everything to me. I understand things are hard, from where I stand I can barely imagine how hard, but PLEASE don't give up, don't let these bastards divide you - you will not be abandoned by your friends and you WILL win. 💙💛

And there's no such thing as an "ethno-ecosystem" - the Italian gene pool has almost everything in it, it was made by wave after wave of migration and invasion, and we Italians have added our DNA to many other nations all over the world - as have Ukrainians. Please don't use this horrifying and truly dangerous situation to peddle what is essentially white replacement theory - which, remember, is being spread by white supremacists, who in the US and other countries are firmly on Putin's side.

  4153. The place name that got pronounced in three different ways today is actually pronounced RobOtyne / Робо́тине from the Ukrainian dictionary. That's not his pronunciation, it's AI. After he got back from being sick for a month he stopped voicing the videos himself. I'm learning Ukrainian, and one of the welcome side-effects of watching his updates every day was the tutorials on Ukrainian place names... early this year that changed, now those pronunciations are mess even though his voice, accent and cadence are reproduced pretty well. It makes me a bit sad but if he's found a way of sparing himself a bit of work, fair enough. I'm just worried it might affect the channel's credibility with new viewers

I am also absolutely terrified that the orcs are withdrawing because they have already decided on the most destructive course of action imaginable, i.e. blowing the Zaporizhzh power plant and/or the chemical plant on the Kherson-Crimean border. They must know by now that their plans for Ukraine have been scuppered - it's obvious that they will never, ever control this country and its people. Sorry to put a downer on things, this was such a positive comments section... I have personal rules against scaremongering but a lot of my personal rules have been going out the window recently! I ardently hope that there are Ukrainian agents among the forces holding these facilities hostage, and that they are ready to move when the time is right. Слава героям України... Україна назавжди! 🔱

  4180. From where I'm sitting (UK) I don't feel entitled to criticise the Ukrainian government, and I know they have their hands full dealing with the various countries that are currently sitting on the heavy gear Ukraine needs to end this war - but I honestly don't understand why, with so much evidence at hand, they are still resistant to massively, immediately invest in drones. The miscommunication between two ministries does make a lot of sense to me (I grew up in Italy), but can it really be down to that alone?? Immense respect to all Ukraine's defenders, and to Sternenko and team for their indispensable, tireless, excellent work. Please, Ukrainians, don't give up... I can barely begin to imagine how exhausting and frightening it must be, nearly 10 years into the war, nearly 2 into the full-scale invasion, the US using your country as a pawn in their elections, and winter setting in. But even before drones or financial aid, your unity and identity and determination are your main weapons. Hold on to those. Never forget that countless millions, all over the world, are with you and will never walk away. You can and will win. Слава Україні ❤🖤

  4181.  @starc.  putin temporarily occupied some land that his lackies and his army are now wrecking in every possible way. The rf's border with NATO, has doubled since he invaded. The western military industrial complex is indeed growing. The rf has lost a huge number of men, and its surviving citizens are not welcome in many countries. putin is sinking a ton of money and resources in this completely unnecessary war that he could be using to improve people's lives in the country he was elected to lead. I was trying to be polite by calling that idiotic

  4182.

  4194.  @stanislavzucovec8218  I have watched a few videos of Ukrainian being dragged off the street, so I'm definitely not denying that happens. But the UAF are definitely not using their soldiers for russian-style "meatwaves", and it's not only about their regard for the lives of Ukrainians: they simply can't afford to do that. The stop-and-start military aid from their allies is forcing them to rely on their infantry more than they'd like to - and it's exceptionally cruel to force a nation to fight off genocide with the avoidably sacrifice of many of its young people - but this is the main reason the Ukrainian counteroffensive more or less ground to a halt earlier this year. Because they're not using their infantry the way russia does. The last sentence of your comment gives me the strong impression that you read that New York Times article about the Dnipro offensive a couple of weeks ago, and took it as gospel. Assuming you're not a troll (also a possibility), listen to what this Ukrainian serviceman had to say about that article, and reset your brain: The New York Times, не перспективно так робити.

Let me repeat: it was wrong, it was stupid, it was vile, it destabilised the whole world for decades to come (if we're lucky, it could be centuries), but the USA still had a clearer and better reason than the rf did to invade Ukraine in 2014 and 2022.

A stint as ambassador will give him a political CV - I'm not saying he wouldn't have been qualified to lead the country without it, but the head of the army becoming head of state without a significant interim period would raise questions about that country having turned into some sort of military dictatorship. I had even noticed some kremlin trolls making that point, months before he was replaced as commader of the UAF. This way, it will be more straightforward for him to run for political office in future.

  4237.  @kdexter2690  Since 2014, which is when the war really started... and now there's plenty of evidence that he was planning russia' "reabsorption" of Ukraine even before the Maidan in 13-14. Basically, we know who started this. Besides, Ukraine's membership of NATO could never have been a threat to russia's safety and territorial integrity - because of russia's huge nuclear arsenal. It would have, however, spelled the end of putin's colonial plans for Ukraine and other countries. That's the only threat Ukraine posed to russia:.

I don't have the figures to hand but anyone can look them up

  4249.  @marygrace2793  Thank you. Not that his religion matters, there's no indication it had a part in his motivation for that attack. I'm sure pro-russian propagandists do have a stake in this - one of the people spreading this disinformation online (known as Tommy Robinson, if you want to look him up) has been know to take MAGA money, so there must be russian money in the mix as well.

I am honestly disturbed to find versions of "white replacement theory" in a Ukrainian discussion thread - remember that the people peddling those theories in countries like the US and UK are by and large on putin's side. Besides: the person charged with the murder and attempted murder of those children was neither a refugee nor a migrant, he was born in the UK.

  4268. Thanks for this video, Anna, trolls (and somewhat confused people in real life) bring up Ukrainian mobilisation a lot in their attempts to put russia and Ukraine on the same level, and it's good to have as many facts and arguments as possible under my belt to counter this. As for your question, I was a teenager when Italy still had the draft and heard countless stories of young guys doing everything they could to dodge their military service! There's a military base on the train line connecting the two parts of the country where I have family, and I would sometimes chat to young men on their way to attend their medical. One had visibly starved himself so his bodyweight would drop below the required minimum 😦 I think he had a work opportunity that meant a lot to him and there was no way he was letting that pass him by. It was definitely many boys' dream to be declared unfit to serve. I suppose that compulsory military service can really mess with your life plans, work, study, travel, and on top of that there was a deep-seated (and justified) contempt for the state, so not many people were keen to make sacrifices for it. I do remember one guy doing his compulsory service in the fire brigade, I suppose it's cool that that was possible. As soon as military service became voluntary for both men and women lots of young women started joining up, apparently - I don't know when that was, exactly, as I was no longer living there by then, but boys born in 1986 or later were exempted from the draft and I remember that because one of those boys is my little cousin. As you say, there are many reasons why someone may not want to serve in the armed forces, even in Ukraine at this time, that doesn't make them traitors. And there are so many other things that people can do to support the country and the army. Some of us are just not good at taking orders - I know I'm not - and that's OK too. I wish more russians were bad at taking orders. Слава Україні💙💛

I don't know how Zelensky would have broken the Budapest memorandum by recognising Kosovo, that literally makes no sense. Scotland is a nation in the UK that does have a strong independence movement, and I'm sure that once it does manage to achieve and declare independence, it will be recognised. Same with Wales. The problem with Catalonia is that they declared independence after holding a referendum without the permission of the Spanish government, and sadly with the way things work in the world at present, that's not a good idea. Kindly tell us what the russian federation would do to any of its regions that decided to declare independence, for example Tatarstan or Ichkeria... oh, wait. Yeah. Palestine is a nation that's been occupied by a terrorist fascist state for decades, aided and abetted by a number of supposedly civilized countries including the US and the UK. In my unwavering support of Palestine I never for a single minute forget that the obliteration of Ukraine at the hands of russia would not help Palestinians one jot.

  4278.  @horpdorb40  The rf is a massive country - Ukraine is far from small, but small by comparison with the rf and has a much smaller population. Unlike russia, Ukraine does not recruit mercenaries - all foreign fighters are volunteers, who would never fight for the highest bidder, and there are fewer of those people generally. The AFU have only recently started recruiting convicts, and not as indiscriminately as russia started doing 2 years ago; nor do they use their troops in "meat assaults". Finally, Ukraine's military was deliberately run down during the Yanukovych years (he was preparing the country for russian takeover even before the Maidan), and in some ways is still shaking off the legacy of the soviet army (3 decades isn't long for systemic change to completely take effect). And don't get me started about restrictions on the use of military aid.

One day you may even learn the meaning of phrases like "self determination", but I don't think any of us are holding our breath. Another thing you really need to come to terms with, though again it's not looking hopeful, is that the vast majority of the people supporting Ukraine around the world are aware and highly, loudly critical of the way the USA has destabilised a number of countries over the decades, to protect their perceived interests. It is however illogical to infer that because they have done it before, they must have done it in Ukraine too. No one familiar with the basic facts and chronology of the Revolution of Dignity can reasonably consider that any Western power could have played a significant part in it, let alone instigated it - for those not familiar with those events, there are plenty of verified sources out there, including a couple of YouTube videos by the Maidan historian Marci Shore.

You do realise that this is far from the only channel offering a military analysis of the war in Ukraine, right? When I'm not satisfied with a channel, I stop clicking on the videos. I unsubscribe. I may even click on "don't recommend channel". I don't think you're a troll because you're "asking for a dose of truth" - I think you're a troll because you choose to keep clicking on videos you're dissatisfied with, and then post ridiculous comments like the one above, that sounds like you only have this one channel available to you instead of the whole internet. So when someone in an RfU comment section calls you a troll, take it as relative praise: the only alternative is "individual with very low IQ and not much of a life".

I don't believe the russian people should pay for the atrocities orchestrated and committed by their ancestors and past leaders, but I fully believe that they should pay for their denial of those atrocities, which is aimed at absolving themselves from their present responsibility to stop their current leader from committing more atrocities. It is tragic that many of those directly responsible will soon be dead, while many of those who will pay, in various ways, are children or haven't even been born yet - but they will only have their own ancestors to blame. Your comment sounds a lot like the "let's no upset the russians too much, who knows what they might do next" type of statement that has been resounding all over the world for years, even more so over the past few years, and that's the mentality that led many rich countries to withhold military aid for Ukraine which would have saved so many lives and shortened the war.

It's a zionist trick to accuse people of antisemitism whenever they're calling out the apartheid and genocide in Palestine, and sadly it often works because most decent people abhor that. I feel lucky that many of the brave, active, articulate antizionists I have met over the course of my adult life have been Jewish, some even from Israel - that has really shaped my thinking and attitude towards this issue. For example, I have a vivid memory of an Israeli woman saying (at a live event I was attending years ago) that she considers it an antisemitic insult to hear judaism being equated with zionism.

  4412.  @paulheald3099  Some people's knee-jerk defensive responses to the slightest criticism of capitalism are honestly amusing to me, maybe because I've never believed in either soviet communism nor capitalism as the "end of history". I do not value buildings more than I value people's lives, since it's people who design, make and use buildings, not the other way round: who cares if a country's buildings are tall, shiny and beautiful if countless people live in inescapable misery in their shadows? I'm wondering if you've heard of the Grenfell fire: in June 2017, in what is the probably the richest area in one of the richest cities in the world - London - 72 people died and hundreds more were traumatised and made homeless when a social housing tower block went up in flames. It had been done up cheaply with flammable material used in many other residential buildings all over the country, which are now deemed unsafe. Fire safety measures were inadequate, and the residents' complaints had been repeatedly dismissed by the relevant authorities. So much for capitalism. Capitalism really doesn't work much better than soviet communism ever did: it's just shinier on the outside, just like Grenfell Tower was before it burned. Settling for the - temporarily - lesser evil is just not good enough, we need to stop worshipping capitalism just like we want people to stop worshipping communism, and keep looking for alternatives that are genuinely better than both.

  4413.  @gaoxiaen1  I am not an apologist for soviet communism, so what you're writing doesn't upset (or surprise me: I know). For decades, the blatant failings of soviet communism have been used to deflect attention from the failings of capitalism and as long as we contribute to this, we will never have anything better than what we have. Something like the Grenfell fire should simply not have happened in a country like the UK - and the only reason it's still talked about, and the extent of the corruption, incompetence and prejudice that led to it have not been completely covered up, is the persistence of the survivors and their supporters, who will not rest until everyone responsible is held accountable. I am now waiting for someone to prove my point by replying that "at least those people haven't been thrown into a gulag for speaking out against the government"...

Or that you would bring a choice of cars to prove your point. I'm not in the habit of copying and pasting my comments all over the place but I can only refer you to the end of one of my previous comments here: "Settling for the - temporarily - lesser evil is just not good enough, we need to stop worshipping capitalism just like we want people to stop worshipping communism, and keep looking for alternatives that are genuinely better than both" If we accept capitalism (or indeed any philosophy) as the end of history, we are doomed.

These reactions only prove that these things need to be said again and again.

Just please let's all be careful not to say or print "the Ukraine"... it's a piece of outdated language originating from long-standing russian phrasing designed to reduce Ukraine to a region of russia. For example, we don't say "the" Spain (Italy, France, etc...): in English, we reserve the article for collective country names like the United States of America, the russian federation, the United Arab Emirates. Since russian, like Ukrainian, has no articles, the original version of this linguistic strategy employs prepositions (the one that means "on" is offensive - the one that means "in" is the one that should be used).

As a result, you're getting a much more civilized reply than you deserve: The same name has been chosen for a number of mountain brigades in a number of countries at different times. To make the association between this brigade's name and the nazis is to repeat russian propaganda. When this Ukrainian brigade was named, the russian army itself had an Edelweiß brigade - it was renamed a few years ago, possibly in preparation for putin's current psy-ops (I mean, maybe not, but I wouldn't put it past them).

This is all I've heard about it, apologies for the lack of detail - the video had the family's pictures and probably the man's name, if you want me to go back and check. The blogger's name is Sternenko.

  4472. The way russia and belarus are weaponising the bodies of migrants is revolting even by their standards. I fully understand Poland and Lithuania's need to reinforce their borders as much as possible - they do have one of the worst neighbours in the world - and the significance that this has on the war in Ukraine. Just please, let's not fall into the trap of referring to other human beings as "illegals". Human beings are never illegal - some laws are inhuman.

  4478.  @MrDavidljr29  He's running for the highest office in the most powerful country in the world: he should be taking that seriously, not "joking" as much as he supposedly does. In fact, trump rarely jokes - he doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humour. When he drops those ridiculous, nonsensical and/or offensive statements (not sure statements is the right word here, but let's go with that) he is constantly testing the courage and integrity of those around him, particularly other republicans and the press. Whenever they let him get away with it, justify and defend him, make up excuses for him like you do, he knows he's pushed the boundaries a little bit further.

  4479.  @dixonpinfold2582  Writing the comments you've written here, and then calling another person "sanctimonious" is an example of doublespeak almost worthy of the kremlin... And no, I'm not expecting you to understand that, since you seem to have trouble seeing beyond the tip of your own nose.

  4483.  @halinaturutko7322  Thank you! I love talking about languages and accents with people who get it 🤗 I'm English-Italian bilingual - a childhood, rather than native, bilingual - and my voice does change from one language to the other. As for russian and Ukrainian, thank you for your insight, I'm still training my ear as until last year I was completely new to this language group. I've read that Ukrainian doesn't have the "final devoicing" feature that russian has - a final "v" being pronounced as "f", for example - and in this speech I heard Zelensky pronounce a final hard "g" closer to "k", that's what had me wondering. There is also to be said that - as far as I understand - russian, like English, is stress-timed, while Ukrainian is a syllable-timed language, like Italian and most of the romance languages. Maybe that's why it's so good for singing... after all, opera wasn't invented by the British ☺

  4484. Thank you Starsky, good to see you here. Your next birthday tattoo sounds awesome! There is a growing menagerie associated with Ukrainian resistance: shark, raccoon, now lions (probably lionesses, actually, since they're the hunters in the family), but also, as I recently found out from the brilliant cartoonist Mykhailo Dunakovskiy (look him up, people)... penguins! Not to mention the swooping falcon in the tryzub. That's a lot of tattoos 😁💙💛

  4486. Which is why our countries should have provided all the aid Ukraine has been asking for sooner, like in February last year, or in 2014 (thereby honouring their promise to protect Ukraine's territorial integrity). Ukraine shouldn't have to sacrifice itself on the altar of our peace of mind. And they certainly have no intention to.

I reserve my judgement on their government, but my opinion of the Kazakh people keeps rising!

  4495. His family certainly were spirited out to russia overnight, but when I heard about that a few hours ago from a Ukrainian news report, it wasn't clear whether Lukashenko himself was on the plane - has there been another report since then I've missed? Belarus aside for a second, I'm finding it hilarious how some people in this comment section - specifically in this thread - are still trying to make all this into a NATO/CIA plot 🤣We in the west really have trouble accepting that we're not the star in a movie, we always have to be the protagonist and we always want to win an Oscar... We would do well to remember it's also possible to win a supporting actor Oscar, or, you know, get to stand on the stage with the rest of the team as we all win "Best Film". We don't have to be the puppet master every single time - and this time we certainly aren't - putin is the master of his own and his country's undoing (and nothing else), and Ukraine set that in motion by resisting, in the face of annihilation, when the west were predicting Kyiv would fall within days. Let's all start coping with that. Слава Україні💙💛

  4497.  @silverflight5777  You are a worthless troll, I'm only replying because this whole "slaves of NATO" thing, coming from the people who believe that Ukrainians should and in fact are slaves of russia, is just too much to hear sometimes... What does it mean, in practice, to be slaves of NATO? None of the countries that are, voluntarily, part of NATO can be said to be enslaved in any conceivable sense of the word - meanwhile, we all know what it would be like for Ukraine to be enslaved to russia, and Ukrainians know it best of all, having already survived genocide, imprisonment, oppression, cultural erasure, invasion, and all sorts of psy-ops. And I wrote all that as someone who is no way romantic about NATO or whatever your kind means by "the West", there is plenty to criticise and that's something I've been doing for a long time, with many other people who, crucially, have not been murdered or imprisoned or otherwise silenced. Your arguments are simply empty, ridiculous and disgusting. Україна назавжди 💙💛

  4498.  @crvatdje9f762jdodj1gfi  Thank you, I believe so too. I would need to see the receipts before I take it as a given, but it is an extremely plausible story which would also explain how trump has always managed to float back to the surface after each bankruptcy. Nevermind the "pee pee tape", if putin has THAT on him (and if one person in the world has those receipts, it's putin for sure) trump will do anything he asks. I'm sure all this blowing hot and cold towards russia is just an act to confuse people, and make us all think that he might be understanding who he's dealing with at last... but he knows who he's dealing with. His boss.

  4515.  @nickfielding5685  Ah well, if you're going to spam the whole comment section with this ridiculous comment, I'm going to spam your inbox with my reply... at least my spelling is better than yours: @nickfielding5685 Crimea and the Donbas were occupied by proxy russian forces in 2014, as russians themselves have freely admitted since. I don't know how Zelensky would have broken the Budapest memorandum by recognising Kosovo, that literally makes no sense. Scotland is a nation in the UK that does have a strong independence movement, and I'm sure that once it does manage to achieve and declare independence, it will be recognised. Same with Wales. The problem with Catalonia is that they declared independence after holding a referendum without the permission of the Spanish government, and sadly with the way things work in the world at present, that's not a good idea. Kindly tell us what the russian federation would do to any of its regions that decided to declare independence, for example Tatarstan or Ichkeria... oh, wait. Yeah. Palestine is a nation that's been occupied by a terrorist fascist state for decades, aided and abetted by a number of supposedly civilized countries including the US and the UK. In my unwavering support of Palestine I never for a single minute forget that the obliteration of Ukraine at the hands of russia would not help Palestinians one jot.

I appreciate you countering the Z propaganda in the comment you're replying to, but just because certain parts of a country changed hands several times over the centuries, doesn't mean they can't just be in the country they're in now... All regions of Ukraine voted to be in Ukraine in 1991. That was really not a long time ago. End of story. russia OUT

  4523. Ahahh, I had noticed that "second class citizens" thing in a troll thread that I decided to argue with earlier today. It's interesting and important to see, in real time, how these pieces of language are fed into the public discourse. I wonder if Arestovych originated it, or picked it up from another source and then amplified it through his platform. Thank you Sternenko and team for your brilliant work! I admire counterpropagandists in general, because it must be exhausting and disgusting to have to delve into all that toxic rubbish to pull out what's relevant and explain it to the rest of us - but to be doing that, day in day out while also being physically bombed by the country creating the propaganda... that's another level of talent, courage and determination. ❤🖤

Dear Sternenko and team, I'm always grateful for your work but maybe even more so for this video, because I can't bring myself to watch any part of that debate or read any of the reports on the BBC. Your analysis, and the Ukrainian voiceover on the clips, has allowed me to at least get some idea of what took place. I don't envy US citizens the choice they'll have to make in November - they're in a much worse situation that we are in the UK. But while we all - hopefully - confront how our democracies managed to get to this abysmal point, I understand that it must be awful to feel that your survival is dependent on who another country chooses as its next leader. Whatever happens, remember there are countless millions of us all over the world, who will never stop supporting you in every way we can. 💙💛

The trump Ukrainian voiceover continues to impress me... is it AI, or a really good impression? Слава Україні! On your side no matter what. 💙💛

  4538.  @louisecorchevolle9241  Lincoln wasn't fighting a much larger country stuffed full of nuclear weapons. As for kleptocracy, how much civilian infrastructure could have been built or maintained in the rf with the money it cost putin and his pals to have yachts and palaces built? And where did that money come from? The pro-russian separatist wannabees who died 10 years ago in Odessa were shooting and throwing molotovs at the people trying to save them from the burning building. Besides, if Odessa had gone the way of Luhansk and Donetzk, russia would have easily joined up with Transnistria and gobbled up the whole of Ukraine, which has clearly always been their goal. There are millions of Ukrainians in the rf, how many Ukrainian-language schools? And why should children receive their entire education in a language other than the state language of the country where they live? Besides, russian is not a minority language in Ukraine: it's the language of the occupier. Ukraine was aggressively russified at different times in its history, by every single incarnation of russia. Finally, assuming you said one true thing in your reply... I'm so glad you're not in Ukraine anymore.
    1
  4539.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  I replied to that Abraham Lincoln comment in detail, pointing out, among other things, that he wasn't fighting a disproportionally larger country stuffed full of nukes and long-range weapons (and that russian is not, and should not be treated as, a minority language in Ukraine - and that the people who died in Odessa 10 years ago were shooting and throwing molotovs at those trying to get them out of that burning building)... and of course it got deleted. I wonder if it's just this troll who doesn't want their lies and whataboutism disrupted by actual information, or if YouTube is also allergic to facts 😐 In any case, I sincerely hope they weren't lying when they said they lived in Ukraine for 3 years... because that means they're not in Ukraine *anymore*, and good riddance

She worked in Ukraine for many years (speaks fluent Ukrainian), then moved to the US to work for Voice of America. Her YT channel is quite small - it's not her main occupation - but she posts great videos, mostly about the language of war and propaganda, since she is a linguist by training.

And the people who support him, his apologists, propagandists and trolls get their share of the blame, as do all the russians who could stop him at any point and choose not to.

Where I live - a rough part of London - if a gang member survives being shot or stabbed they get more cred in their circle. I'm seeing the same reaction among MAGA supporters (though tbh I think you're probably a bot). Fyi: a head of state isn't supposed to be a "boss", but a public servant.

Or, you know, just admit this NATO-destroying bluster is all bs, pull out of Ukraine, return captives, and start figuring out how to sort out your own country while paying reparations for the next few decades.

Or do you just think that you can say something like that in a comment section and find even a single idiot who'll give you the benefit of the doubt? Besides: not every Ukrainian man aged 25-60 is being mobilised at once. The original commenter may be younger or older than that, or exempt from military service for health, family or professional reasons (or do you think that first responders also have no internet access?), or they could be in the armed forces and currently on rotation, for example. I've seen enough troll comments to know that yours almost certainly belong in that category - I'm replying because your foolish, offensive comments are giving me the opportunity to say something I think still needs to be said. It is not our place to question the reason why someone, whether Ukrainian or a foreign supporter of Ukraine, is not currently fighting. There are many possible reasons why, and that's for a person themselves to share if they wish.

Also, during the last year of trump's presidency COVID got in everybody's way, including putin's. And for the previous three years it's possible that putin was playing the long game, he must have felt very comfortable when his puppet was in power. I don't actually agree with how the democrats have dealt with this situation over the past 10 years - they could have done much better and still could. And there's no reason why she shouldn't do better. People who say the sort of thing you're saying may as well be trolling for putin - and maybe you are.

Viewers of RFU know Russia takes ground every day. Thing is, it's with unsustainable losses of Russia's husbands and sons. This time, Russia performed two flanking maneuvers successfully; one of them with low losses of troops. They have outperformed the baseline and we wish to know. If Russia could do this consistently, we'd worry (more) for them. They are making much worse progress conquering Ukraine than the USSR did with Afghanistan even if they could achieve this level of success, say, weekly. But how much of Afghanistan is still under Soviet control? Ukraine can win even if they lose every single formal battle. The Russian sympathizer confidence makes no sense to anyone with vague knowledge of history.

And many soldiers post on social media, so the person you feel so entitled to insult may even be a soldier. Your frankly ridiculous comment is full of holes. There's nothing cowardly about repeating a mantra that makes you feel stronger while fighting for survival - or that makes someone else feel stronger while they fight. Nor is it cowardly to ask for what you need to defeat a genocidal enemy, if you know that someone else has it, especially since everyone will benefit from a Ukrainian victory - even russians. Most ridiculous of all is your twisted point about independence: putin didn't think Ukrainians value their independence and 18 months on, look what that's got him and his country into.

  4643. Thank you for this update and commentary. I really think that any comparison with Israel does Ukraine a huge disservice, not only for the point you make in this video about different military capabilities and historic support from a superpower: the most important thing we must always remember is that Ukraine has not been running a regime of apartheid against russia for decades, and is not committing г*н*ц*д against anyone, it is in fact defending itself from it. As I've heard you say on this channel more than once, for all the individual Israelis who do support Ukraine, the Israeli state has been sitting on the fence for years about russia's war: and that's because they know that what they're doing is in essence quite close to what russia is trying to do in Ukraine.

  4645.  @Boycott_Wendys  Thank you for revealing yourself as the troll I imagined you must be from your original comment. The interesting thing about anti-ukrainian propaganda is that it tries to convince the rest of the world that Ukrainians are all gay - and therefore degenerates who need to be civilised by russia - while also trying to convince us that they're all homophobic - and therefore have no place in civilised Europe. Which is the same mental gymnastics employed by kremlin & co. with the "nazi state run by evil Jews!" schtick that they keep trying to pull off. In reality, some Ukrainian men and women will find this woman attractive, others won't, and that has no bearing at all on her work in Ukraine and her appearance in this video, because she's in the military, not on a dating show. But since you brought this up, it's worth noting that the rf has horrifically oppressive homophobic laws, while its own military suffers from a widespread, longstanding culture of rape, and its prisons are also notorious for it.

Same sex marriage does not have any repercussions whatsoever on the rights, freedoms and safety of people in opposite-sex marriages (or those of heterosexual people in general), and there was never any indications that it would have. The implementation of trans rights in our deeply mysogynistic society does have potential implications for the rights, freedoms and safety of women and girls. It doesn't have to be that way. It is possible for trans, intersex and non-binary people to have equal rights and for women to hold on the rights they have fought so hard for over decades and they carry on their fight for equal rights - which as we all know is far from over.

Obviously I can't speak for all of them, but I have a feeling many of the russians currently staying in Georgia would have been against this law (though possibly not out protesting, I doubt they want to risk getting kicked out of one of the few countries that will have them). After all, they've seen the effect that 10 years of that law had on the rf. Also, I doubt that foreigners who've been living in a country for a few months could have much of an effect on the bills passed by that country's government. The responsibility for this rests squarely with the Georgian government, and I hope they've learned that they can't mess with their people the way putin messes with his own.

  4703.  @FilleSoleil-lt1lg  Ukraine is a huge country; Gaza is a small, very densely populated territory. Ukraine had been functioning as a state for over 30 years when the full-scale invasion started; Palestine hasn't been allowed to function as a state for how long...? What israel is currently doing to Gaza cannot be compared to what russia is doing to Ukraine: it's what russia did to Mariupol. And while both russia and israel are undeniably committing genocide, they're doing it for different reasons: yes, they both adhere to the fascist doctrine of being "chosen people" taking back their "rightful lands", but while israel is intent on wiping out all Palestinians and settling all the land, russia wants to gain full control of Ukraine's resources, including those human resources that can be coerced and coopted and also military infrastructure etc, to use them in the next war: that way, they'll continue the genocide of Ukrainians while using them to kill others (kind of like they're doing now by recruiting a disproportionate number of non-ethnic russians from the eastern republics, and weaponising the bodies of migrants). Apologies for the long reply - this is what I always want to say when I hear simplistic comparisons being Palestine and Ukraine, but I rarely get the chance.

And actually you have no idea what would happen if the UK found itself under the same sort of existential threat that Ukraine has been fighting against for past two years, or ten (or about 300, depending how you look at it), and you don't need to know, because our country will never find itself in that situation, no one has ever or will ever say "We're going to wipe you out to prove you don't exist". So you get to sit there and spout nauseating and ridiculous pronouncemens that make your countrypeople cringe with shame in YT comment sections. If you're so concerned about the freedom of Ukrainian men, go and hassle putin - he's the one who invaded their country. Ukraine had no martial law until February of last year.

And as much as I would like to see GW Bush in particular - and Tony Bliar! - prosecuted for their crimes, I am hoping that after russia's total defeat in this war, present and future leaders will be reluctant to enter any course of action that could see them compared to putin. It wouldn't be enough. But it would be something. Слава Україні 💙💛

  4746.  @nickfielding5685  Ah well, if you're going to spam the whole comment section with this ridiculous comment, I'm going to spam your inbox with my reply... at least my spelling is better than yours: @nickfielding5685 Crimea and the Donbas were occupied by proxy russian forces in 2014, as russians themselves have freely admitted since. I don't know how Zelensky would have broken the Budapest memorandum by recognising Kosovo, that literally makes no sense. Scotland is a nation in the UK that does have a strong independence movement, and I'm sure that once it does manage to achieve and declare independence, it will be recognised. Same with Wales. The problem with Catalonia is that they declared independence after holding a referendum without the permission of the Spanish government, and sadly with the way things work in the world at present, that's not a good idea. Kindly tell us what the russian federation would do to any of its regions that decided to declare independence, for example Tatarstan or Ichkeria... oh, wait. Yeah. Palestine is a nation that's been occupied by a terrorist fascist state for decades, aided and abetted by a number of supposedly civilized countries including the US and the UK. In my unwavering support of Palestine I never for a single minute forget that the obliteration of Ukraine at the hands of russia would not help Palestinians one jot.

  4753. I'm not in the habit of copying and pasting my comments all over a comment section, but since all of you kremlin trolls seem to spewing out the same line: there's more democracy in Ukraine postponing this year's elections than in every election ever held in russia - and the world knows it. Zelenskyy would have abused his power by calling the election under martial law, because the Ukrainian constitution does not allow the dissolution of parliament under martial law, and there's no point holding an election if parliament can't then be dissolved and re-formed. Besides, a vast number of Ukrainian citizens would not be able to vote this year because they are held captive by russia, or have been deported or a living under occupation.

Besides, reporting territorial gains too soon can put Ukrainian troops in greater danger because if a tactical withdrawal becomes necessary to preserve their lives, they may decide to stick around, running unnecessary risks, just to prevent Ukraine from looking like a failure and its powerful western allies losing interest (that's actually happened). I'm glad this is 2 weeks old - it means it's a solid gain.

  4769.  @kacperzimowski4626  Ukraine has received a small fraction of the defense budget of most of its allies - defense budgets created over the decades in large part with russian aggression in mind. And as they were waiting for the most powerful of these countries to make up their minds about what and how much aid to send, russian forces had the opportunity to dig in, becoming much harder to eradicate. If Ukraine had got what its leaders asked for shortly after they started asking, all occupied territories may have been liberated by now, and there certainly would have been much less death, trauma and destruction. In 2023, Ukrainian forces have used what they got from their allies to shoot down many of the missiles and drones fired at their civilian infrastructure and homes, hold and eventually breach a long and difficult frontline, and conduct a long and continuing series of successful attacks on military targets in the occupied territories and on russian territory. Your statement that "they didn't do anything with it" is typical of a pro-kremlin troll, so it you are not one of those, think about the way you're expressing. I may be wrong, but I get the impression you're Polish... would you rather the russian federation reached the Ukrainian-Polish border? Then it will be Polish soldiers being killed and maimed while using those weapons that you seem to think are going to waste. Or maybe you're actually waiting for the rf to march in and restore some sort of soviet empire...?

Also, the way you repeated the "cards" analogy made me smile. I really wish I had enough to support great youtubers financially, instead of just with subscription and comments. Tbh though, my deepest fear has never been about trump lifting sanctions. I am honestly scared that the US will not only stop aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, but that it will start sharing intelligence and sending aid to russia... he is putin's dog after all.

Automatic translations of auto-generated Ukrainian subtitles can be unreliable - that's not enough to put me off because I'm learning Ukrainian, I'm already bilingual and work as a translator, but people who don't have the same confidence I have with languages and/or some understanding of Ukrainian, might give up before the end and we don't want that, you explained everything so well.

The 4 million is an estimate - based on verified historical sources - of how many Ukrainians were deliberately starved to death by the soviets in the early 30s.

Obviously, "no matter how this conflict ends" it would have been better if russia hadn't started it, but since they did, it is very clear to Ukrainians and every sane and decent person in the world knows that it has to end with russia getting kicked out of Ukrainian territory once and for all, returning all prisoners included abducted Ukrainian civilians, and paying reparations.

Quite apart from the fact that he never allowed Ukraine to fight as they need to (still isn't, really, not all restrictions have been removed), and let's not even talk about his Middle East stance, he simply shouldn't have run for a second term, as he had originally intended to do. Or he could have stepped down from the presidency as well as the race - Harris didn't have free rein to show voters how different she would have been from him, because he was still her boss. I am disgusted with him, and frankly with the USA as a whole.

  4841.  @suprememarcus  Or maybe I do, and I refuse to use my children to justify my point because, as I've explained very clearly, I don't believe that being a parent gives anyone permission to force their views on others. And how exactly does having children justify being aggressively homophobic and transphobic? A parent could just as easily say "As a parent, I find it intolerable to imagine my children being persecuted for their sexual orientation, unable to just be themselves, raise children of their own with the person they love one day, even unable to show affection to their partner in public without fear of being attacked. That's why I fight for LGBT rights". Let's be clear: if one of your kids is queer, or trans, they just ARE and there's nothing you can do about it. You can choose to be a good parent and love them as they are, or you can choose to make them unhappy. And even if your kids are cisgendetef heterosexuals, raising them to be homophobic and transphobic automatically makes you a bad parent.

Would that be accepting that it's thing and not going on about it so much...? Because then you could try dealing like an adult with the fact that people's sexual orientation and gender identity varies across the world, and since it poses no threat whatsoever to humanity, it's best to leave people be. And no need to waste my life going to the rf and protesting there, when I can speak up against homophobia and transphobia and for equal human rights for all, wherever I am. It will still have an impact, because wherever I am there is someone like you, trying to capitalise on the horrors taking place in the rf to incite hatred against other human beings.

  4855. Thank you for this update. I find that woman insufferable, but I must admit I only know of her through your videos, she doesn't seem to have much of an international platform (at least not in the UK). I fully agree with you about keeping up the pressure on these people whenever they make imperialist statements: I remember russian dissidents being revered in the West when I was growing up (i.e. in the 20 years before the fall of the soviet union), and that still seems to be the case now, so they potentially have a lot of traction with our media and even our politicians. Kara-Murza himself is already rowing back on the statement he made shortly after his release (from: Russian dissident tells BBC he thought he would die in 'Putin's prison'): "“I need more information,” he admits. “I realise that February 2022 changed a lot.” But he wants to know why a Russian human rights lawyer can’t travel to the Baltic states for a conference, when a Russian missile containing a Western-made chip can slam into a residential building in Ukraine. “The responsibility for what the Putin regime is doing there is shared by Russian society, a large part of which chose to close their eyes to the abuses and repression,” he argues. “But let’s not forget the responsibility of those Western countries who for years preferred to deal with Vladimir Putin and do business, knowing full well who he was and what he represented.” He was the only one I had some respect for, and while I'm relieved he didn't die in prison, I remain disappointed and angry with him for saying what he said the other day. However Operator Starsky made me look at it in a different light, when he said in last week's live stream that he wasn't surprised to hear something like that from someone who had just been released from russian captivity, because of the amount of brainwashing and disinformation that those prisoners are subjected to (he told us about his experience of speaking to a comrade who was released in late 2022 after months in captivity). So I don't know. Maybe he should have been treated like a released hostage and debriefed, instead of being given that platform so soon after his release. I will continue to argue with anyone calling for an end to sanctions on the russian federation. Слава Україні 💙💛

As someone who is learning Ukrainian and fully supports Ukraine, reading these statements in Ukrainian is making me feel sick. By the way: migrants are a minority in the UK, no city or town or region is "overrun with migrants", and this country did become extremely rich by colonising and destabilising other nations for its own profit, so it most definitely be taking in refugees and treating them properly. Most migrants work most of the time. Without migrants, many of our industries and services would collapse. Poverty in the UK is caused by deep inequality, and a ruling class holding on to wealth. The person charged with the murder and attempted murder of those children was neither a refugee nor a migrant, he was born in the UK, and no religious or political motive has been identified so far. Educated yourselves. Your comments are disgraceful.

Kind Ukrainians in various comments sections (I'm learning the language and that's my excuse for watching lots of YT videos) have suggested adding beans earlier on, not overdoing the grated carrot and making sure there's enough potato. Sometimes I add a bit of celeriac and/or cooking apple to the potatoes. I've also added some tofu, drained of as much liquid as possible, then broken into chunks with my hands rather than chopped, added to the broth ealier on - if it cooks for long enough with all the other ingredients, it's delicious!

  4866. It has been done - I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I once had to translate some text about the history of Mount Etna in Sicily, and they did try, I think fairly successfully, to interfere with an eruption a few years ago. But there are many different types of volcanoes, and eruptions, and this may be one of those where human interference wouldn't be a good idea. The whole thing sounds nerve-wrecking and I feel very sorry for the people of what must have been a cosy small town, but at least there is no ill intent involved: it's just the planet doing its thing, no human nastiness and foolishness involved. I must say I'm very impressed with the way the Icelandic authorities are dealing with it.

A few years ago, when Ireland was preparing to vote in the referendum that would repeal the country's abortion ban, I heard one Irish woman being interviewed - not about that, but about the issue of the infamous "laundries" where young women were effectively imprisoned if they got pregnant "out of wedlock". This woman's biological mother had been an inmate in such a place, her baby had been adopted. During the interview, the woman very clearly said she found it hard to think that if abortion had been legal in Ireland back then, perhaps she would have never been born: she found it especially hard because then, her own children would not exist either. She concluded by saying that she was voting to repeal the abortion ban, because, and I remember her voice saying the words, "It's not about me". Long story short: DO NOT use adoption to justify your views on women's reproductive rights.

  4908. So I've had this very conversation with a few Ukrainians in London over the past year or so.

Now I hate him less."

  4921.  @russellny8086  Just because the gunman went to Ukraine doesn't make him a Ukrainian operative. This is clear from the simple fact that trump is still walking around. But jokes aside, I'm saying that because I doubt Ukraine would have trump assassinated - they don't want to destabilise the US, that's putin's game. If anything, it's much more likely that the FSB would have groomed the guy into this, as a way to get putin's precious asset back on track after his disastrous campaign performance in recent weeks.
    1
  4922.  @mackjrbell7828  That's interesting. I have read a little bit about the gunman - just what was published by the BBC earlier today - but not his political affiliations within the US. There are certainly a lot of republican supporters of Ukraine, and a lot of republicans who hate trump, so it's not implausible.

  4923.  @MichealHilleman  Exactly. Tbh I doubt he would have even won in 2020 without Kamala Harris... then he just dumped all responsibility on her after making things as difficult as possible for her because he had to indulge his old man's ego. Even if he had stepped down after losing the debate, he would have given her - and the world - a chance. She could have proven herself on the job, a bit like Carney's doing now in Canada. But no, he had to be president till the last minute.

  4924. Well. She is a racist, homophobic fascist... I hope that's not the bit you're excited about (and I'm really not implying that with my reply). I just hope she does right by Ukraine.

  4926. I've heard Timothy Snyder describe russia's basic philosophy as "competitive hopelessness", and he hit the nail on the head. Their idea of progress is to make everything around them worse than what they have - while demonising what they can't destroy - so that the majority of russians will be content with their lot (and the minority will be able to keep stealing from them undisturbed). Respect and gratitute to Sternenko and team for their work, and to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for saving the world from this encroaching horror. Hang in there Ukrainians, don't let anyone mess with your heads! We've got you 💙💛

  4939. I don't judge Ukrainian men trying to evade summons, and in some cases when a man resists coercion is indeed employed - crucially, I tend to find out about these occurrences from Ukrainian news and independent journalists, and while I'm sure more could be done to deal with it, it is neither common practice nor swept under the carpet. The fallacy in your comment is that if Ukraine loses this war, no Ukrainians are ever going to "enjoy themselves" again: russia is openly attempting a genocide of the Ukrainian nation, so doing nothing is really not a choice these people have.

  4947. At this point, the USA "washing its hands" of the whole thing may be the best possible scenario... I know the military aid is important, but with Europe finally waking up, other allies around the world, a significant increase in domestic production and innovations, and the imminent financial collapse of the russian federation, Ukraine could manage (I know it would be even harder than it's been so far, I am really not making light of the situation). My fear is and has been for some time that trump will start actively helping the rf as much he can considering that European countries will refuse to go along with it. Sharing intelligence seems to me even more critical than sending old weapons - but considering the idiocy of their current command, the kremlin is probably more up to date with US intelligence than the pentagon 😣 Thank you Sternenko and team for your tireless, priceless work. I am grateful beyond words that there are people willing and able to sift through all the gaslighting and lies, to keep shining a light through this horrible darkness threatening to swallow us all up. ❤🖤

  4951.  @nickfielding5685  Ah well, if you're going to spam the whole comment section with this ridiculous comment, I'm going to spam your inbox with my reply... at least my spelling is better than yours: @nickfielding5685 Crimea and the Donbas were occupied by proxy russian forces in 2014, as russians themselves have freely admitted since. I don't know how Zelensky would have broken the Budapest memorandum by recognising Kosovo, that literally makes no sense. Scotland is a nation in the UK that does have a strong independence movement, and I'm sure that once it does manage to achieve and declare independence, it will be recognised. Same with Wales. The problem with Catalonia is that they declared independence after holding a referendum without the permission of the Spanish government, and sadly with the way things work in the world at present, that's not a good idea. Kindly tell us what the russian federation would do to any of its regions that decided to declare independence, for example Tatarstan or Ichkeria... oh, wait. Yeah. Palestine is a nation that's been occupied by a terrorist fascist state for decades, aided and abetted by a number of supposedly civilized countries including the US and the UK. In my unwavering support of Palestine I never for a single minute forget that the obliteration of Ukraine at the hands of russia would not help Palestinians one jot.

  4957.  @AllanMogensen  I expect Ukraine to have considered this possibility, as shocked as they understably are by this appalling betrayal. They're pretty on the ball. But yes, there is a massive risk of trump beginning to use the USA's oversized resources to actively help putin.
    1
  4958.  @Snigdhorup  russia had wanted to invade Ukraine for a long time, even before 2014. I have a feeling putin felt empowered to start the full-scale invasion after the disaster in Afghanistan, but while that totally happened under Biden, it was set up by trump. And let's never forget that trump is putin's puppet - russian propagandists refer to him as "nasha trampushka"... which Timothy Snyder has brilliantly translated as "trumpling dumpling". They know trump is their puppet, and they speak of it openly.

  4959. As far as I understand (from where I live in the UK, admittedly), far too many Americans don't have a house, either... but nor do they have to live under constant fear of shelling and invasion by genocidal forces. That's where the real difference lies, I think. By the way, Ukrainians have been experiencing all sorts of microaggressions from russians, alongside the macroaggressions like invasion and starvation. Microaggressions need to be identified and called out, they're always the sign of something bigger.

For the first few months it was indeed impossible to distinguish spoken Ukrainian from russian, but I kept training my ear and now when I hear russian I can tell. I'm still barely able to hold up a conversation in Ukrainian but my comprehension is so much better. Thank you YT for the countless videos! I also wake up with Ukrainian radio every morning, I would recommend it to everyone learning. 💙💛 (btw my knowledge of Italian is helping me immensely - there's still a lot of grammar to learn but the way Ukranian works as a language will make more sense to an Italian speaker than to an English speaker)

  4986. The same name has been chosen for a number of mountain brigades in a number of countries at different times. To make the association between this brigade's name and the nazis is to repeat russian propaganda. When this Ukrainian brigade was named, the russian army itself had an Edelweiß brigade - it was renamed a few years ago, possibly in preparation for putin's current psy-ops (I mean, maybe not, but I wouldn't put it past them). This is all stuff you can easily look up and it was in the news recently.

  4994. Supporting Ukraine and denouncing russia does not equal glossing over the many deep flaws and historic wrongs of European and North American countries - unfortunately, whether intended or now, posting this kind of comment under this kind of video only serves to amplify putin's propaganda. Besides, while with no more context what you mention sounds really bad, it's far from the most awful thing taking place in the US: widespread racist policing, appalling prison system and several states currently engaged in rewriting history and erasing human rights for vast sections of the population come to mind.

I keep hoping you'll find a way of making people aware of the perfectly good reason behind the inconsistent pronunciation of Ukrainian words, I really think it would be good for the channel.

  4998.  @davidmhale521  Considering the devastating, g*n*c*dal, generational occupation of Palestine (fully aided and abetted by the US and UK and other supposedly civilized countries), it is unsurprising that Hamas gained power in Gaza in the first place - on a much more moderate platform. In the weeks and months leading to October 7, Palestinians had been demonstrating in numbers against Hamas, whose position has grown more and more extreme over the years - there wasn't another election, because Palestine has not been allowed to function like other nations. And we mustn't forget that the criminal netanyahu (I can't remember how to spell his name properly and tbh I don't care right now) enabled and even supported Hamas because, like him and unlike the Palestinian authorities in the West Bank, Hamas is against a two-state solution. How about informing yourself before posting disgusting comments online? You don't have to troll, but you choose to.

  5015. These allegations have been fabricated and amplified by American neonazis and we all know it. Then trump's team thought it would be a great idea to build this into his debate strategy. Once it turned out to be anything but a good idea, he'd already said it live, and knowing he would never be able to blame AI for this one he decided to double down and triple down on the lie. Because he can never, ever, ever accept and admit he got something wrong.

  5016.  @whitee2069  trump won the election because tens of millions of Americans can't be bothered to look into the things they've been instructed to hate. Thank you for confirming this with your reply. Just in case you are an actual American who voted for trump, know that his re-election has not, and never will, "make America great again": by voting him back in you have tainted your country forever - and you will find out what it means and how it feels to lose the respect of billions of people. And if you're one of putin's trolls, go tell your boss to give you a couple of days off... he won, he's got the USA under his thumb now, he can turn it into russia 2.0, you little trolls deserve a rest and a raise.

  5017.  @JohnDoe-rs7gh  Thank you, yes of course there's no definition of CRT... it doesn't exist, it was invented by trump's propagandists to give people something to hate and distract them from the oligarchs profiting from their misery. And of course you can just look "fascism" online, but how many maga voters do? I have literally watched videos of people outside trump rallies not being able to answer those questions.

  5020.  @iamoo  Aww that's so sweet, thanks for the encouragement🤗 I was in fact just listening to an Operator Starsky livestream - where I learned the meaning of the word Совок - and he was also talking about a type of person, who always sees nothing but the negative in everything, which he said Ukrainians call "sradophile"...? Does that mean someone who loves betrayal...?? (he said it can also be "sradoyob" or something that sounded like that). What's the spelling in Ukrainian? It's one of those things that are probably not that important to learning the basics of a language, but socially meaningful pieces of language always get stuck in my head and I know I won't stop thinking about it until I've worked it out!💙💛
    1
  5021.  @iamoo  You staaaaar thank you SO much... this is exactly the sort of explanation I was hoping for: meaning, usage, register, you got them all! I really appreciate you taking the time. I am generally very interested in colloquial language, I translate literature and theatre from Italian (my baby language) into English and I hope that one day I'll be able to translate Ukrainian into English, too. But also, considering what Ukrainians are going through, and my total inability to send anybody any money, the least I can do is try to understand what life is like for you now, and language is one of the best ways to do that. Do you also work with languages? By the way you explained those terms I get the impression that you might. ☺💙💛

  5022.  @iamoo  I learned English as a child and it's been my main language since the end of my teens (over 30 years ago). My Italian is not fantastic tbh, I know a number of "heritage language" translators and I have a lot more in common with them than with exophonic translators (people who translate into their second language). Am I right in thinking you have at least three fluent languages? Or do you know any more? I have a Ukrainian cousin who grew up speaking mostly russian but is fully bilingual, except he is now trilingual because he moved to Italy permanently a few years ago and his Italian is better than mine! And he also has a bit of English. Brainy lad. I'm a proud big cousin ☺

  5023.  @iamoo  Having experienced two languages switching place in my brain, I'm very interested in that process (I wonder if anyone has written anything about it but not having a name for it, it's hard to do a proper search). Ukrainian bilingualism seems to me even more interesting, because there are so many elements to it. I understand your wish that russian were simply not a part of your heritage, but I think growing up with more than one language is always a potential advantage, because it creates space and specific tools in the brain that can then be devoted to other languages. Being fluent in both a syllable-timed and a stress-timed language, as you and I both are, is a particular advantage in further language learning. I'm not interested in learning to speak russian but I've realised that if I want to one day be able to translate expressive text from Ukrainian, I'll need to have some understanding of it, and also of surzhyk. For now I just want to concentrate on Ukrainian, then once I've reached a decent intermediate stage I'll see how much russian I have. I must admit I also quite like the idea of picking up a colonial language through the prism of the colonised language it's been attempting to wipe out for centuries... when I thought about it I realised how rare a situation this is, since most empires (British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, even Italian and German to a lesser extent) have been maritime empires, meaning that the colonised languages were very far from the European language that was imposed on them. So sorry, I'm going on and on... I keep getting interrupted by other things and when I come back to this comment I write some more!! It's just really nice to correspond with you. About switching to Ukrainian, I recently came across this YT video: ЯК ЛЕГКО ПЕРЕЙТИ НА УКРАЇНСЬКУ? Історії і поради тих, хто зміг which I haven't been able to watch yet because... it's not subtitled, and my Ukrainian just isn't there yet. Have you watched it? Or taken part in it? And have you read anything by Володимир Рафєєнко? I haven't yet but really want to - I heard Timothy Snyder talk about this author's decision to completely switch to Ukrainian (which had never been his writing language) during one of his Yale lectures last year: apparently when the author spoke at Yale he said "Не володієш мовою, мова володіє тобою" and those words took my breath away. That's exactly what English did to me when I was a child, and what Ukrainian is doing to me now. YT comments section conversations can end at any moment, so if this is our last exchange I want to thank you again for taking the time to communicate with me. I'll always think of you when I come across those words you taught me 😊 I wish you and your country the very best. I can just begin to imagine how hard it must be right now but never forget that countless millions all over the world are with you - we won't forget, we won't get bored, we are with you all the way. 💙💛

Not wanting to respond to any of them directly, I will just add that a vote for trump is a vote for putin - trump is undeniably a russian asset and has been for years. And a vote for putin is a vote for war. Most probably WW3, since the minute trump feeds him Ukraine, putin will move on to other neighbouring countries, including those that are NATO members.

Particularly when I make a claim online, I try to always mention the source - with the title if I can, point people towards possible sources, or at the very least explain why I can't point people towards a source where they could verify my claim. Sometimes I get asked for more info about something I mentioned in a post, and likewise, I ask for more info and get useful replies. It's called mutual cooperation, maybe if you ever manage to stop trolling comment threads you'll give it a go and realise how good it can be. Finally, I tend to ask for a source when I get the strong impression that a particular claim was made by a troll or bot - bots don't tend to respond, trolls usually respond like you did. Thanks 🙂

As complicated as this whole situation is, let's never forget that netanyahu is rooting for trump (known fact - there are many sources - and the trumps have expressed an interest in building hotels on the ruins of Gaza).

  5052.  @Thetequilashooter1  Sadly there have been instances of Ukrainian men being taken quite roughly off the streets by military recruitment guys... and when these events are captured on video they spread far and wide - which on the one hand feeds trolls like the one above, but is also important for accountability, and for challenging innhumane practices when they do occur. Crucially, I know about this from Ukrainian sources, and I've heard several people freely speak up against it recently, including the very well know and super popular Serhyi Prytula. As for non-Ukrainians in Ukraine, I believe the only one who are serving are volunteers - I've heard nothing about foreigners being press-ganged into the Ukrainian army, and I've been paying attention.

Comedians know what it's like to have to stay on stage after a joke's gone flat, and try to regain the audience. Plus, Zelenskyy was also a producer, so he knows how to work with a team and negotiate under pressure. Meanwhile, all putin knows is how to terrorise people into submission.

  5080.  @robertw5052  "New York, Ukraine" has its own Wikipedia page, look it up when you have time, it's a good read. It doesn't seem to have been named after New York in the US. More recently, Ukrainian New York was the site of a cultural festival curated by the wonderful writer Victoria Amelina, who had family links with the town. She was killed in an airstrike a year ago, only a couple of months after I had the honour of meeting her, and every time someone mentions this place, I think of her.

  5081. Actually what more and more people are - thankfully - realising is that the kind of comment you have posted here is just russian trolling for beginners. If I decided to engage with its actual content, I would just say that "your country", like many others, will have a much greater mess on its hands unless Ukraine wins this war soon and its own terms. But there's no point engaging with you, because comments like yours are just saying "if we feed Ukraine to putin, he'll get our orange jesus elected again, and that's all we care about".

  5083. @donlimoncelli6108  The fact that you had to make such an example demonstrates that this is in fact an issue. Greek and English are literally different languages, while "Medici" and "Michelangelo" are proper names that do not have a translated equivalent in other languages - so while it is indeed not illegal to mispronounce anything, it is ignorant and embarrassing for an expert to routinely mispronounce words he presumably uses a lot in the course of his work. There is also a more specific issue here, that of anglicising the pronunciation of non-English words. With the dominant role the English language plays in the world, there is something colonial about English speakers not making any effort whatsoever to pronounce foreign terminology in a way approximating the actual pronunciation, and I think that's what got so many people fired up in this thread... So I would like to thank you all for the demonstration of anglophone entitlement.

That your supreme court has been corrupted for years? That a huge number of the huge number of privately owned guns in the US is owned by his supporters, who are ready to shoot anyone who dares rise up... because they know they'll get away with it?? Not to mention that Ukraine can't wait for your insane election cycle to come round again. And what will you do if trump decides to start actively supporting the rf later this year... will you move then, do you think?

  5094. Thank you, exactly. My gut feeling is that putin's paws are all over this, I hope the people who spread the rumour online get investigated for ties with russia. By the way, if you want to look him up, the high-profile person behind all this goes by the name of Tommy Robinson. He belongs to (and maybe founded) the English Defense League. Recently I was told about a russian troll living in London who has links with that group (I don't know her name though).

  5100. ​ @matthewmcdermit8744  Hamas - which I do not for minute wish to see at the head of a future Palestinian state - is undeniably a direct product of decades of apartheid and genocide, perpetrated against the Palestinian people by Israel and facilitated -and funded! - by many powerful countries including of course the US. Not to mention the fact that the zionists in charge of Israel allowed Hamas to grow more powerful in a deliberate game of divide and rule: the West Bank is strongly against Hamas, and the zionist strategy has been to keep them at war with each other to prevent any progress on a two-state solution. And we can all see how that paid off.

  5103.  @fairamir1  Thank you, yes, exactly the same argument that putin keeps hammering on... Crimea was a "gift" to Ukraine, Alaska was a "gift" to the US, blah blah... Besides, I doubt Israel "gave" any land to anyone, and whatever happened, happened about two millennia in the past. We can't keep having wars based on events from centuries ago (or, as is often the case, some genocidal dictator's interpretation of events from centuries ago). Israel is a terrorist state. They're committing genocide. Palestinians have been treated like subhumans, *on their own land*, for decades. And plenty of Jewish people all over the world will tell you that Israel doesn't make them safer - it puts them in danger.

  5114.  @gmw3083  The CIA forced Yanukovich to go back on his electoral promise to the Ukrainian people to get closer to Europe, just to cause a coup...? When they could have simply let him sign the agreement with the EU which would have allowed Ukraine to align with the West - as Ukrainians wanted and still undeniably want. Just because the CIA has undoubtedly and disgracefully started coups all over the world over several decades doesn't mean they started every single one. The "CIA coup" narrative makes no sense whatsoever. You're just jealous because Ukrainians were able to kick out their dictator when they'd had enough of him, while russians can't seem to do the same. I really wasn't going to reply again but I'm kind of curious about what you'll come up with next 😂

Because the lives of working class people would have actually improved, and because of that, many of them would have lost the need to hate immigrants and anyone they see as different.

  5122. At the start of the full-scale invasion I realised that the rf had become untenable and had to go, and yes that felt scary. Not because of the nukes, though - I'm scared of nukes in general, tbh the thought of the US having nukes scares me too, considering how they choose their presidents sometimes. But the disintegration of something like the rf is never going to be peaceful, and wishing a huge number of people huge suffering isn't my go-to option for ending the suffering of a huge number of people. I spontaneously got over that frame of mind very quickly though, for all the reasons obvious to everyone who's just watched this video. Moscovia delenda est. I really appreciate finding out more about the various peoples and territories currently trapped in the rf, thank you for making the video. The people of Yakutia and Siberia seem to have suffered a fate similar to that of Native American and First Nations people, to whom they may even have cultural and genetic ties (I'm not that well-read on that part of human history so advance apologies if I got that last bit wrong). I wonder if superpowers like the US and UK have been so tolerant of the rf, and protective of its unity, for so long because they can ultimately relate to it as another imperial power. My unwavering support of Ukraine doesn't mean I'm closing my eyes to the shameful imperialist history that made these superpowers in the first place. I just hope they manage to do the right thing for once, and give Ukraine everything it needs to win the war and catalise the rf's downfall. 💙💛

  5135. The - very apt - comparison you made at the beginning shows that it still makes more sense to compare russia's behaviour towards Ukraine to Israel's behaviour towards Palestine: meaning, simply, that we all need to stop making these comparisons, because while there are similarities here and there (and russia's grubby paws are definitely implicated in this latest crisis in the Middle East) these situations are vastly different from each other, and broad, shallow analogies are mostly confusing. We are capable of recognising responsibility and causability, and most of all we know how to empathise with suffering and call out any logic that gives anyone a licence to kill indiscriminately: so let's do that, it's what is needed. Thank you for another crucial and flawlessly executed report. It's such a relief to have reliable sources in these insane times. Слава та безмежна вдячність захисникам України! 💙💛

  5150. I follow a number of Ukrainian counterpropagandists, and in their videos they often show clips from russian social media.... so many clips of people addressing putin: "Vladimir Vladimirovych, we are freezing / hungry / there's no water / no gas / our pipes are bursting and everything is frozen over / our men are dying / etc. etc." and the only noticeable difference is that russians tend to make these video appeals in groups, while these suffering maga voters record alone. The basic attitude is exactly the same. And that's no compliment, USA, just in case that wasn't clear.

  5162.  @grinderthree226  I did, thanks. It led me to a lovely article about the Jamaican side of her family, which includes this passage: Donald Harris did not respond to several interview requests from CNN and largely has shied away from publicity — even as his daughter stands on the cusp of another history-making milestone in his adopted country. He did emerge publicly during Harris’ 2020 bid for the Democratic presidential nomination to publicly chastise her for joking that of course she had smoked marijuana, given her Jamaican background. In a since-deleted statement posted on Jamaica Global Online, Donald Harris said his ancestors were “turning in their grave” to see their “family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity” connected with a “fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker.” It was a fair response imo, but I would hardly call it "disowning".

  5163.  @drinas2783  I "would have seen" that article...? Why? Actually I would have had no idea about the whole thing if you hadn't brought it up in this comment section specially to discredit her - though I don't know how that would discredit her even if she and her father had gone absolutely "no contact" (which that article does not suggest). As it happens, I enjoyed reading about her Jamaican family and cooed over the family pics. Thanks 🙂 Maybe her dad just wants nothing to do with the whole media circus associated with the WH and the convention; maybe they just drifted apart over the years. It happens. None of this is remotely relevant: the interesting thing here is how maga trolls like yourself are hammering on this detail to throw shade at how people view the huge support she has from so many other family members. You are clearly, clearly failing at that, but... hammer away if it gives you a sense of purpose.

  5164. 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.

  5179. Thanks, very concise summary of an achingly complicated topic. Is it from Umberto Eco's definition? (I think it was him) I think that while every situation will inevitably be different and have its own unique characteristics, and some of the features you listed will be more or less prominent depending on circumstances, it is the combination of some of these features that should be a red flag for fascist tendencies in a society. Ukraine for example is strongly promoting its language and culture both at home and abroad (understandably, considering they've been fighting against genocide on and off for a long time), however that comes along with a strong drive to change and outgrow many elements of that culture, and make positive connections with others. Weaponry has become incredibly important to Ukrainians, but that's happening at a time that more women than ever before are entering the armed forces and generally becoming prominent in the defense of the country. Context is also important: from Ukraine's point of view, pacifism is indeed "trafficking with the enemy", but that's because they're defending themselves. And the rf is indeed both strong and weak: they have numbers, and they have nukes, and they are led by insane people following a twisted narrative that they are now unable to walk away from, which means they screw up a lot but are also incredibly dangerous. Btw I fully appreciate that you're on the side of Ukraine... I just think it's important to make these points because that list could easily be used to prove that Ukraine is a fascist country (sadly, like many from the antiwar movement of 20+ years ago, I know a lot of people who oppose support for Ukraine and they're the most likely to make these arguments, I think).

He actually made things worse in the Middle East, set up the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan (but left it to Biden to complete) and enabled putin in every way he could. Besides, the full-scale invasion of Ukraine would have probably started soone if it hadn't been for covid. trump is not good for the world and he belongs in jail.

Zelenskyy would have abused his power by calling the election under martial law, because the Ukrainian constitution does not allow the dissolution of parliament under martial law, and there's no point holding an election if parliament can't then be dissolved and re-formed. Besides, a vast number of Ukrainian citizens would not be able to vote this year because they are held captive by russia, or have been deported or a living under occupation.

And if that's her story, that's her story and she's entitled to tell it as it is, especially if asked. Besides, she was already serving before her boyfriend and their best friend were killed - revenge is what gave her purpose after his death and stopped her from committing suicide.

  5220. Hahahahaha what...?!? You couldn't possibly be one of putin's trolls because.... you're American?? You're spewing out the narrative produced by the kremlin - if you're not in one of their troll farms it just means putin's getting you to work for him for free.

  5229.  @garnertempest4069  Different names with the same etymology - I really don't understand why people are getting so hung up on this. I once met a Sofia who hated being called "Sophie"... because that's not her name. Even though the two names share the same origin. Just like with Vladimir and Volodymyr - which are actually quite different when pronounced properly, they even scan differently, the Ukrainian version having one more syllable than the russian. If your name is Volodymyr, no one will be calling you "Vlad" for short.

  5232. ​@user-kf8fj2mc7u Ok, I get you. Basically, no, trump is talking his usual divisive rubbish. Even in the video he's using to substantiate this claim - an old food video with the South Asian American actress Mindy Kaling - it is clearly stated that Kamala is half South Asian. Obviously, if she's speaking to a predominantly African American audience, any personal stories she chooses to share are likely to be from that side of her upbringing, and vice versa. I've also heard her talk about how her parents met at a Civil Rights march in the early 60s. Her dual heritage is widely known, and that's what it's like to interact with others when you're dual heritage. Every clip I've seen has been embedded in other videos or broadcasts so it's hard to share references, but there's a lot out there - if you do a search just watch out for trump's propaganda. If I find anything in the few days I'll post it on this thread 😊

Thank you for paying so much attention to our elections, and most of all thank you for your service... if I ever feel safe in the world these days, it is thanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

  5255.  @paulf2529  Many of the people seem pretty fed up. And it's obvious to the whole world they didn't vote for him at the last election... I've heard several people say they regret their peaceful protests, and wish they'd picked up some molotovs like Ukrainians did in 2014. There are Belarusian men and women getting military training in friendly countries so they can overthrow lukashenko or whatever russian puppet is in power at the time. I get my news from a variety of sources, including primary sources whenever I can and no, in this case Western media is not exxagerating even a little bit, let alone "grossly". And another thing: "Vicktor Lukashenko, Alexander's eldest"... seriously?? What is he, a king?!?
    1
  5256.  @paulf2529  Thank you for revealing yourself for what you actually are, 100% committed to the propaganda holding up these regimes, whether or not you're paid for spreading it. And that makes you a knowing part of the genocide machine, because whoever supports lukashenko supports putin, and putin is committing genocide in Ukraine.
    1
  5257. How this war works, is that russia invaded Ukraine and Ukrainian men and women are resisting the genocide of their nation. The attitude of the Ukrainian authorities to its fighters is visibly different that that of russian authorities, and the only people who put them on a level are those spouting putin's propaganda

It makes me laugh that maga supporters are framing this as a show of weakness, considering it has put both him and his party in a really strong position. You know what's a show of weakness? When trump says something wrong, because he misread the teleprompter or the dementia is catching on or whatever, and then he doubles down and triples down because he's not able to acknowledge his mistake.

Go and complain to your employer about the "conscription of young Ukrainians" - he's the one who decided to invade their country, and could end their conscription in an instant, by withdrawing his troops from Ukrainian territory and returning all captives. Besides, Ukraine is still refusing to lower the conscription age, in spite of considerable pressure from various other countries. Meanwhile, the russian army is forcibly conscripting Ukrainian teenagers abducted from the occupied territories 🤮

I think what happens is that the AI tries every possible way that an English speaker with that accent (i.e. what it's been asked to replicate) would pronounce that particular word. It's actually interesting to see how AI tries and fails to cope with the situation, but not good for the channel at all.

I feel so sorry for Ukraine that there are still people there who felt "free" when Yanukovich was in power - I suppose if you're not caught committing actual treason they'll have to keep you. But for the sake of all your decent compatriots I hope you'll follow Yanukovich's example and move to the rf, if you haven't already. Слава Україні💙💛

  5297.  @ShirleeKnott  Besides, all those stories about Zelenskyy and his wife buying luxury goods and properties have been debunked - every single one. Fake receipts, woman living in russia pretending to be the cashier, pictures of properties that were still for sale... all fakes.

  5300.  @Atheos-1  That makes sense, but only so far. In the UK, for example, it's understandable and necessary to blame the Tories for a bunch of things, but the opposition has been useless and/or toxic for a long time, so this is what we get. Similarly, all right-thinking Americans have a responsibility not also to their country but to the world to sort out the Democratic party until they're capable of preventing the rot in the GOP to spread to the entire country and beyond.
    1
  5301.  @jongudeman6853  I agree with you, but Europe is more than Germany. Tiny Estonia, for example, has contributed far more than any other country, including the US: a whole third of their defense budget. Americans need to stop thinking about how much they've done and focus on how much they can actually do. If putin does invade a NATO country, as he is most probably preparing to do, US soldiers will be dying in the ensuing war just like everybody else.

  5308. Don't mind the trolls in this thread - it sounds plausible and after watching this clip, I'm curious to know more about the trump family tree. I didn't even know about the march, so I'll start by reading up on that. But if you could point me to a source for grandpa trump's involvement, I would appreciate it.

  5309. Ooooh so I looked it up... "The 1925 Ku Klux Klan March On Washington" is a good overview of the marches of that and the following year, with lots of creepy pics. "These Photographs Show the KKK Washington Parade of 1926" is also pretty comprehensive. A search for "Fred Trump KKK" comes up with lots of results, and it seems that it was daddy, not granddaddy, who was arrested at a klan march - in 1927. Though there may be more to it, and it's possible that Friedrich Drumpf may have been a member. Thank you for sending me down this unpleasant but important rabbit hole.

  5314.  @snapdragon6601  Not just the west... they have colonised and traumatised wherever they could reach, and there are many people and populations and territories that bear the scars of that. To pre-empt the usual whatabouting trolls, the rf/russia/muscovy are far from alone in having done that: most western nations have a colonial, imperial past and some still shamefully cling to it (I'm writing from the UK... 'nuff said). Besides, not all imperialism manifests as an aggressive land-grab. But so what? russia is the one doing it right now, they clearly intend to carry on and this has got to stop. Taking a postcolonial approach to this situation is in my opinion the best way to kick imperialism into the past once and for all. Слава Україні!

Patronising people who are currently depending on aid from our own country is a particularly awful, deeply colonial action. Trying to understand what Bandera means to today's Ukrainians and how he became a hero in the first place is a more respectful course of action.

  5343.  @cattechinc6631  Thanks for getting back to me, but you have to understand that this kind of post still doesn't stand up against a channel that's been professionally reporting verifiable information for over two years. So you may be right, or wrong but genuine, and you still come across as some sort of troll trying to discredit a Ukrainian channel.

  5345. I should have got used to the rf plumbing the depths of depravity, but the way they're weaponising - AND monetising - the bodies of migrants is just beyond the pale. What this video doesn't mention - I think it on the BBC site recently, or maybe another UATV video or both - is that when these poor guys get turned down at the border, they get arrested (their russian visas are quite limited) and pressganged into the russian army 👿

  5346.  @RobertBarry1969  I'm in UK - very different system. What I would do in your situation, is try to create a nationwide network of activists dealing with planned election interference at local level - since that's where it's happening - while updating, informing and supporting each other nationally. And making as much noise about the issue as humanly possible! Good luck.

In any case, I see how this sort of person is a danger to Ukraine - and therefore, to the world - and the only way to deal with them is to call them out, as accurately and relentlessly as Sternenko does. Thank you Sternenko and team for your priceless work. I will always support Ukraine, and I keep saying to anyone who'll listen that the only victory is a complete victory, and without this victory the whole world is screwed. Please people, I understand this is hard and painful and you do not deserve any of it but please, never give up. Слава Україні 💙💛

But if trump gets the chance to hand Ukraine to his pal putin on a plate, he will... and then putin will carry invading European countries.

Look out for the bit where the wannabe separatists shot from the rooftop at the people who were trying to rescue them from the fire. With hindsight, we can also imagine what horrors would have taken place if Odessa had indeed met the same fate as the areas of Donetsk and Luhansk that were occupied in 2014, so what happened then, while awful, was by far not the worst possible outcome.

  5386. Corruption, like many other phenomena, is on a spectrum. It's perfectly possible to admit that you have corruption in the US - no one would be surprised by that - without saying that you have "just as much" as the rf. We most definitely have corruption in the UK, where I live (we also brand it differently), but there's no way it's as bad (i.e. widespread and entrenched) as in the country where I was born - Italy. Broad, shallow generalisations like the one you're making here simply play into the propaganda of regimes such as putin's, which are propped up almost entirely by corruption.

  5390. Thank you for the excellent video, quick and to the point. I would just like to point out that for all the values that Ukraine does have in common with Poland, when it comes to women's rights they seem to be ahead - I believe that Ukrainian women have full reproductive rights, Polish women don't. And while LGBTQ people still don't have full human rights in Ukraine, not long before the start of the full-scale invasion anti-discrimnation legislation had been passed that specifically mentioned sexual orientation. So Poland could actually take a leaf or two out of Ukraine's book. Слава Україні 🇺🇦

  5392.  @MikeAG333  What these trolls keep pretending not to see is that Biden inherited Trump's four years of toxic incompetence and dictator worship. Take for example his blatant attempt to extort Ukraine's newly-elected president who was asking for desperately needed military aid, or negotiating the USA's withdrawal from Afghanistan. The only reason there were no wars during Trump's four years is that he was allowing various monsters to prep for the next one. And I say that as no fan of Biden's, I despise his stance on Palestine - but seen from outside the US (and hopefully from inside too!) he is definitely the lesser evil. And then hopefully the dems will find more decent candidates for 2028 while the republican party falls apart once and for all.

It will be fun for you when the masses decide they've had enough 😂

  5396. My understanding is that the latin alphabet "N" encoded in their emblem (which is not a nazi wolf's angel, as it's inverted) stands for "new" in New Idea. Azov has a comprehensive and decently written wikipedia page (in English) that is a good starting point for people wanting to find out more. I'm grateful for this video but disappointed that they didn't talk about Azov's founder Biletsky - who is now a commander after failing as a far-right politician (in Ukraine, far-right politicians fail - that's something we should never tire of pointing out!): he has most certainly made white supremacist statements in the past, and frequent homophobic statements even more recently. Personally, as long as he does his job well and doesn't stir hatred, I don't mind him being there, and he does fulfill a very different role to the one of "founding father" and mouthpiece of Azov; but I believe that propaganda is best tackled head on, by unpicking the true details that it spins into poisonous fables.

  5401.  @Simo-nk1oq  The point people are making about trump's bonespurs is that they were *fake*. He was playing basketball when his rich daddy fixed things up for him so he wouldn't be drafted. An actual medical exemption for an actual health problem is not the issue here.

  5404. RfU has never been or claimed to be a "breaking news" sort of channel. He mostly posts updates from sections of the frontline, which is a good way of doing things because it allows him to explain how events unfold overtime - and then he adds video evidence to support what he's explaining. I really appreciate this approach, it helps me to understand what's going on; if you don't, try following other channels, there are so many out there. Zaluzhnyy's face became the face of the channel early on, so even without counting the great love and respect he still gets in Ukraine, it's understandable that they're keeping his image instead of "updating" the commander in chief.

In the spring of 2022, the US presidential elections were a long way away. And the UK shouldn't have to ask the US for permission, let alone for permission to ask for permission. It's all ridiculous, indefensible, and frankly revolting.

  5409.  @maryginger4877  I know what's happening there, I follow sources I trust, like this channel for example - and I'll believe an "entire brigade" is trapped when I hear it from this or other reputable channel. My question remains: "And...?" What was the point of posting that under a comment making the very good point that the russian armed forces are "led by idiots"? There's nothing clever or heroic or in any way admirable to wasting tens of thousands of lives for over two years to conquer a town that you've destroyed in the interim, and wasn't yours in the first place. If anything, Vuhledar is proof that the russian armed forces are led by idiots.

  5410. ​ @maryginger4877  So... the brigade denies claims about withdrawal", but I'm supposed to get my news from you...? When RfU, or Operator Starsky, or indeed the Kyiv Independent (your spelling gives you away, btw) tells me the brigade has been captured, I'll believe it.

  5417. You can't keep everyone inside until they die. 11 years is quite a long time, and if knives are much harder to get hold of when these guys get out, even if they haven't changed one bit they'll be less likely to commit the same offense again. The only thing that will make machetes & co. harder to get hold of is to tighten legislation, and enforce it. In particular, no one should be able to make money from selling these things, there should be permits and background checks as there are for guns in this country.

  5418.  @hcpalmer  I think what that person means is that laws against domestic violence - which is largely male on female - were drastically scaled down in the rf.

I'm glad to hear someone else talk about this now. It needs to become a daily part of the national conversation, and action must be taken to contain the threat.

  5427.  @sauron73  Thanks ☺ Now I've had a minute to do a search I can see that there is quite a bit about this online - I would have never looked it up, because I had no idea, and I'm more interested in researching Ukrainian history and culture atm. If anyone's interested, the website Japan Travel has an article entitled History of the Russian Matryoshka - The prototype was a Japanese nesting doll

  5437. I completely disagree. As has been pointed out by other replies to your comment, the Ukrainian language does not use Cyrillic because russian does. Besides, even after learning Ukrainian only for the past year I can tell that the Cyrillic alphabet is uniquely suited to the language and able to capture the subtleties of its phonetics - I'm still slow with this alphabet but the Latin transliteration of Ukrainian already hurts my eyes! Finally, turning away from russia is about preserving Ukraine's heritage and identity as well as its freedom and sovereignty, and diluting that to adjust to another superpower would be one step forward and two steps back.
    1
  5438.  @donkeysaurusrex7881  Quite. But there's a thing called training. And if the UAF, in the middle of a war, have decided they don't want to train foreign volunteers, that makes perfect sense to me. Besides, someone who already has combat experience is less likely to go in with an unrealistic idea of the battle field, which would make them a danger to themselves and others once they are there.

  5439. It will only become a problem if the West turns Ukrainians into enemies by letting Ukraine get overrun by russia.

  5440. Please channel your shame into drones for the UAF! I'm sure you know what a difference they make. Sternenko and Prytula both work round the clock with their separate foundations (and sometimes jointly) to collect funds and make sure that all units have what they need. Also, do something about the russian agent in the white house. The world can't wait for your midterms, which won't mean anything by then anyway.

  5444.  @OnoMa-g6v  trump has been convicted on dozens of counts and has a number of other trials waiting in the wings... which, going by your logic, demonstrates that democrats are not fascists for wanting him in jail: the list of his crimes is on public record for all to see. It just seems that the majority of Americans really don't want to be ruled by a criminal cult leader who is openly planning to turn their country into an English-speaking version of the russian federation.

  5450.  @JesusSanchez-ij5de  I agree with you but the thing is, it is kind of existential for their ruling class now... if putin gives the order to cease hostilities and withdraw from all Ukrainian territory, he might as well pack himself off to The Hague. And it's very possible that the rf will fragment - it may be a country but it's not a nation. However, this is all their owned doing: they have back themselves into this corner. I would happily leave them to it if they weren't doing so much damage.

  5455. Just had an interesting exchange with​ @phillipbainbridge9107 on a different thread, and I get the impression he's a MAGA troll - one who apparently wouldn't mind if putin occupied half of Alaska and then started bombing the whole of the US until they give up trying to take it back, eventually demanding the other half of Alaska before he stops the bombing. I just hope trump will have taken the US out of NATO by then, so next time they invoke Article 5 (which no one else has ever done btw) the whole of Europe doesn't have to go to war for them.

  5460.  @denismorgan9742  I agree with you, but with all its many problems russia still has more men - and no regard for their lives whatsoever - so I understand Ukraine wanting to move cautiously. Also it's good to keep everyone guessing 🙂

  5462. Avdiivka has already been destroyed by the terrorist group known as the russian federation, who has lost thousands upon thousands of men trying to gain control over one town while losing control over other territory in various parts of Ukraine including the left bank of the river.

  5463.  @BrickWallNews-nf4qj  As far as I can see, the Dems are telling people not to go by the polls... and that's when the polls are in their favour. Why don't we go by the fact that more and more high profile republicans are endorsing Harris/Walz? Or by the fact that many trolls like you have just been found to be in the pay of the kremlin? (as if we didn't know)

  5464.  @nickfielding5685  Ah well, if you're going to spam the whole comment section with this ridiculous comment, I'm going to spam your inbox with my reply... at least my spelling is better than yours: @nickfielding5685 Crimea and the Donbas were occupied by proxy russian forces in 2014, as russians themselves have freely admitted since. I don't know how Zelensky would have broken the Budapest memorandum by recognising Kosovo, that literally makes no sense. Scotland is a nation in the UK that does have a strong independence movement, and I'm sure that once it does manage to achieve and declare independence, it will be recognised. Same with Wales. The problem with Catalonia is that they declared independence after holding a referendum without the permission of the Spanish government, and sadly with the way things work in the world at present, that's not a good idea. Kindly tell us what the russian federation would do to any of its regions that decided to declare independence, for example Tatarstan or Ichkeria... oh, wait. Yeah. Palestine is a nation that's been occupied by a terrorist fascist state for decades, aided and abetted by a number of supposedly civilized countries including the US and the UK. In my unwavering support of Palestine I never for a single minute forget that the obliteration of Ukraine at the hands of russia would not help Palestinians one jot.

  5473.  @fznkz3199  From a migrant: you do realise that yours is the sort of statement that is, has been and will be used by some people all over the world to "demonstrate" that Ukrainians are essentially fascists? I don't believe that and I'm convinced you belong to a disgraceful minority, but others may be happy to have their existing anti-Ukrainian bias confirmed by someone like you. So, if you really don't want to change your narrow mind, at least keep this sort of thing to yourself for the sake of your country (if you are indeed Ukrainian, and not a troll trying to discredit Ukrainians). By the way: russia is only a good example of a failed, crumbling state run by a psychopathic mafia don. Finally: what about the Ukrainian diaspora? Do they not belong in the countries where they or their parents/grandparents settled? Or are they "not Ukranians" in your eyes?
    1
  5474.  @fznkz3199  I replied to your short-sighted xenophobic comment, and the reply has already disappeared, second in this thread. This may well disappear too, but as a migrant myself I take this personally, so I'm going to try again. The only thing the rf is a good example of is a crumbling failed state run by a demented mafia cartel. I am also curious to hear what you think of Ukrainian migrants and their descendants all over the world: do they not belong where they live, are they forever disenfranchised? Or do you simply not see them as Ukrainians?

  5482.  @bojanvukobradovic2504  If trolls are still regurgitating rubbish such as "the Bucha dead moved in the street" over a year after it was debunked, it means they're running out of bs to spread on behalf of the kremlin... So, as vile as it is to come across this kind of comment, I suppose it's good news. To any decent person here who is vaguely confused by what this troll posted: that particular piece of footage was taken from a vehicle driving down a street strewn with the bodies of civilians murdered while trying to flee. By zooming in at the moment that one of them does appear to move, you can clearly see that the effect is caused by a raindrop streaking down the glass.

Besides, it is very possible that trump, as putin's creature, could actually turn against the man who made him - particularly considering trump's famous distate for losers.

  5488.  @johnschuring5726  I get your point but you're no more of an outsider than I am... and none of that is happening to me, either. The outcome of this war will have direct implications for all of us, I mean all over the planet. We're all involved. The US (and the UK, where I live, and the EU, where I used to live) may be giving the most, but we're giving a much smaller percentage of our GDP than much smaller countries. Talking about price tags here is simply shameful imo.

  5489. Do you watch 1420? There are people doing street interviews in russia at the moment. That's not a measure of how democratic a country is - though I can't imagine people doing street interviews in North Korea, so there are definitely degrees of undemocracy. I admire the people in this video who answered truthfully to their opinion and experience.

  5490. ​ @monsvague4825 Of course it's a pro-Ukrainian channel... it's literally a Ukrainian channel, analysing the invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine's resistance to it. Any source that isn't clearly against this invasion has been infiltrated by the kremlin to some extent and is not worth following.

But there really isn't another way of saying it.

  5495.  @tekone2k  You're really just a maga troll, trying to find anything to discredit the people who are going to consign your orange jesus to the trashcan of history. Also, even someone who "doesn't believe in anything" is better than a wannabe dictator and his christofascist base.

  5496.  @omegaz3393  I don't think this is necessarily a prorussian troll... They make some good points. The rf is a huge risk to both Ukraine and the rest of the world, and putin's gang has been actively working on distabilising the world for many years. And Ukraine has been hampered by slow and insufficient military aid, so it does make sense to wonder whether the West doesn't really want them to win outright ("omg what would happen to the rf after that, who will get the nukes...?" blah blah blah), or they did hugely underestimate the rf. Let's accuse people of being trolls just because something they're saying is forcing us to reconsider our opinions or position. It's really not a good look.

  5500.  @ЄвгенКоновалець  The UK has had a right-wing government for 14 years, they've only just been replaced, and for the 14 years they were in power, the right have been using inflammatory racist language to cover up the many ways in which they deliberately failed the majority of the British population to keep enriching themselves and their close allies. That's how we got to this point. As well as people like Tommy Robinson (look him up), being indulged by our criminal justice for years while receiving funds from MAGA donors (and probably russia).

  5501. You're 100% right about rubio: he has so completely abandoned anything he believes in and knows to be true, in exchange for power, that he is now incapable of making any sense. He may be starting to realise that no amount of power can compensate for the ability to answer a basic question about anything, let alone something so important. Then again, he may not: the shame of it may be a perfectly acceptable price to pay for the power he gets from trump. Of course, the same goes for many other US republicans.

  5502. I was thinking that too... he's been looking more and more tired in these videos lately. I know there's much more to Ukraine than Zelensky, I don't idolise him - but he's managing the impossible day after day and he's important, I want him to be OK. 💙💛

  5504.  @fabb5  No, it's not - it's a very appropriate analogy with the fictional beings in LOTR. If the military and their supporters don't like being called "orcs", they should stop behaving exactly like them. Referring to those committing, supporting or excusing genocide as "orcs" also allows for the fact that there may actual russians who are not... like that. "russian supremacists" is also a phrase I've seen Ukrainians use, and I've used it myself at times, but "orc" is shorter. Also, this is a troll account, whose comments I see a lot under Ukraine-related videos - I only replied because the comment gave me the opportunity to say something worth saying. You know, for anyone who may read this thread who's not an orc troll.

  5505.  @BrahmanofAryavart  I applaud your sense of humour, but just in case you're not aware, @mattyboy456 is a troll account known for some of the most disgusting posts under Ukraine-related videos... I'm impressed that he managed to post something not deeply unpleasant to read!

  5506. It really makes me laugh how putin's mouthpieces will start invoking the law when it comes to holding on to their plunder, while flagrantly breaking international laws left right and centre. Ethnic russians, by the way, have been slaughtered in huge numbers by putin's forces, because they contradicted his ridiculous narrative simply by identifying as Ukrainian. Mariupol resisted invasion in 2014 and its people clearly wanted to be in Ukraine, and that's why it was destroyed. And what's Patrick Lancaster got to do with anything...? Все буде Україна❤🖤

  5509.  @t.n.h.ptheneohumanpatterna8334  Genocide is not peace, and that is without a doubt what awaits Ukraine unless they decisively defeat russia. When you're fighting for your existence you can't afford to negotiate. Besides, unless russia loses and ends up weaker than it was at the start, it will just lick its wounds and start again... on Ukraine... on Estonia... and all the other countries it's decided are "russia, really". Even suggesting that Ukraine 'make peace' with the rf is offensive imo
    1
  5510.  @t.n.h.ptheneohumanpatterna8334  people will suffer enormously in huge numbers for decades, if not centuries to come, unless the rf decisively loses this war - try paying attention to reality, it's that thing made of facts that are taking place right now and took place in the past (= history)
    1
  5511.  @t.n.h.ptheneohumanpatterna8334  Unlike the rf and their mercenaries, the UAF only take volunteers with prior combat experience. Which makes a lot of sense. And not that I care what you think of me, but before you accuse people of hypocrisy you could do worse than thinking about your stance - since you literally don't seem to care what happens to a whole nation as long as this 'problem' leaves your sphere of existence. I'm kind of wondering why someone with your point of view would watch these videos... unless you're a... troll?

It's always good to hear from you guys, and I'm particularly grateful for English-language content by Ukrainians: I follow Ukrainian-language sources too, I'm learning the language but I still need subtitles to make the best of it - which means I can't listen while doing stuff in the house for example, as I did just now with this conversation. It makes a difference! And thank you Starsky for letting us know what a difference supportive comments make to you ❤🖤

  5520. That's partly because mainstream media from around the world are less likely to report in so much detail. This channel tends to analyse very specific situations, and that's as important as giving overviews. He does analyse Ukrainian mistakes in painful detail, when they happen, and that's why I trust him.

  5522. There is no country in the world where everyone starts with exactly the same resources and possibilities. Your "everybody for themselves" philosophy only tells us that you're comfortable with people living and dying all around you in appalling conditions with no chance to improve their lives, as long as it's not you or anyone you care about. I literally cannot wrap my head around the grotesque hardships that US citizens experience due to the lack of free universal healthcare, and that's just one example. The soviet experiment clearly didn't work - to put it mildly. That doesn't justify accepting its polar opposite as the only alternative. How about we put our oversized frontal cortexes to work and come up with something better? And by "better" I mean something that works for everyone on the planet and the planet itself.

  5527.  @donaldshelton986  Actually I made my point, in my first reply, somehow you thought you would make yours with two short quotes that mean nothing out of context.

That's when he speaks, instead of swaying to random songs for nearly forty minutes while on stage in front of a huge number of people who presumably there to hear him speak about policy.

  5530.  @amadeuz8161  That's a very different thing from what's mentioned in the video
    1
  5531.  @amadeuz8161  You made a fair point - I don't have an answer about the UK, or any other country. I don't think Ukraine would criminalise people trying to stay alive but they are rightly criminalising people trying to profit from this situation. What I said is that I don't think that's why looting was mentioned in this video, which is about one country's efforts to combat a culture of corruption at a time of war. My impression is that they were saying that corruption at this time is the same as looting - i.e. not looting to survive, but to make money from the possessions of people who've had to flee their homes because of the shelling or occupation. Which has also been going on in Ukraine - crime rates have apparently gone down over the past 12 months, but like all countries they're bound to have their share of callous criminals. I live in inner London and I can just imagine what would happen in my neighbourhood, in similar circumstances. Breaking into an empty home to look for food and water for yourself or your kids is not the same as lifting every undamaged appliance and selling it for profit. Btw remember the news story about a woman knocking a drone out of the air by throwing a jar of home-made pickles from her balcony? From early on in the full-scale invasion. That was not a russian drone, that was looters looking for properties to clean out.

If I hadn't heard about this from Ukrainian journalists I would lose some of the immense respect I have for Ukraine - but the way Ukrainians report on this kind of thing whenever it happens gives me hope that Ukraine isn't beginning to replicate some of the actions that we so rightly revile the rf for.

  5538. RfU has already updated us on the UAF retreating from a number of those positions (and more recently gaining ground on the other side of the area under their control).

  5539.  @EerieEchoes-z9t  So funny that the supporters of an election denier are now so concerned about votes... You may have noticed that democrats are happy about the nomination, her campaing has raised record amounts in the short time since she entered the race. A very short time, which is probably why she hasn't given multiple interviews.

  5547. There's a wonderful ASMR Ukrainian cooking and crafts channel called Authentic Food Around, in their most recent video they made kutya and uzvar and in the next they'll present the twelve dishes of the xmas eve feast! As a vegan who's learning Ukrainian, I'm really excited about this... obviously I know not everyone is religious (I'm an atheist myself), but if I manage to time my future visits to the country with a fasting period, it should be easier to eat traditional food!
    1
  5548.  @1One2Three5Eight13  I'm going to make kutya (and uzvar) this xmas! I'll use spelt berries instead of wheat, because I think I'll enjoy using them in other dishes too. I might have to change some of the dried fruit in the uzvar because I don't have two different types of dried pear, but I have dried apples and prunes, amazing smoked pear that a friend recently brought back from Kyiv, and I'll probably throw in some dried figs and apricots. Can't wait 😁

I don't vote myself (EU citizen with settled status) but I keep hearing from people who've been voting Labour for years in the desperate hope of unseating the Tories, and now they're saying they couldn't bring themselves to give Starmer their vote. Obviously people like this aren't going to vote Conservative, but they may stay at home, or vote Green or LibDem and split the Labour vote. And I can't blame them, because as badly as I want the Tories out, I wouldn't vote for Labour either with Starmer the helm. Let's not forget that we've had this long run of fantastically incompetent Tory governments mostly because Labour managed to lose people's trust and can't seem to know how to get it back.

If you're bored of hearing that putin's desperate, how about hearing that putin is a genocidal dictator operating with the vocal or tacit consent of much of his country, which makes russian civilians complicit in genocide?

  5560.  @qwazse4  Arabic is indeed an imperialist language, no one has at any point in this thread claimed that English is the only one in existence. And English does spread by way of arts and culture, but in reality it is anglophone arts and culture that spread on the back of the imperialist English language - often, historically, at the expense of the cultural output of other nations and languages. Which is, incidentallly, what has been done to the Ukrainian language and cultural output over the centuries, through the russophone cultural output of "the temporary misunderstanding currently known as the russian federation" (to quote Sternenko, a prominent ukrainian blogger). It will never bee too late to decolonise anglophone literature and arts, but more importantly, an automatically defensive stance about the imperialist function of the English language is holding many of us back from dissecting and neutralising the role of russian language and culture in enabling, promoting and to an extent foreshadowing the horrors currently being perpetrated by russia in Ukraine, with the overwhelmingly negative effects on the rest of the world.

  5562.  @WrathOfImperium  The Brits can afford to train new Ukrainian recruits, because the UK is not at war. They wouldn't be training their own citizens to fight in Ukraine, because that would contradict government advice not to travel to a war zone. So the only foreigners who are going to be fighting in Ukraine, for Ukraine, are those with prior combat training and experience, which is something not everyone can acquire. There are many other things that people who don't have the opportunity and/or capacity to go and fight can still do to support Ukraine. And many people are doing those things. Starsky is actually very appreciative of all of it, it's a point he's made several times. Now stop trolling, that is clearly what you're doing and it's an ugly thing for anyone to do.

  5569.  @GlennRA3  It is fairly recent from what I've heard while learning (maybe from a century ago?). I'm sure the brilliant language historians in this thread will come to our aid. I do know that russians pronounce Г as a hard 'g', while Ukrainians pronounce it differently - and more beautifully, in my opinion - hence the addition of Ґ to the Ukrainian alphabet. This is very noticeable at the moment in the pronunciation of 'Luhansk' - recently I watched an interview with a russian POW who first pronounced it the russian way, then tried really hard to replicate the Ukrainian pronunciation - which was picked up by some people in the comments section.

  5575.  @peterj5083  Good point, but false equivalence. Jan 6th was an attempt at overthrowing the results of a free and fair election (as has been proven literally dozens of times, including by some judges appointed by the politician who would have benefited from that coup). The Revolution of Dignity was a spontaneous uprising that took place after the head of state proved he was putin's puppet by his last-minute refusal to sign the agreement he had been promising for years, which would have taken Ukranians a small but crucial step closer to Europe as many of them patently wanted. At that point Ukrainians had enough, they peacefully gathered in the Maidan and just refused to go away. They were brutalised. They stayed, and more people joined them. The police started shooting, and then the molotovs started to fly, and putin's puppet fled. Presumably it's second, not the first, that we're all thinking of when we say that "russians should stand up to putin". I'd never needed to put the above into words before and it took a while, so thank you for raising it. If you're interested in the Revolution of Dignity there's a brilliant lecture on YT, part of Timothy Snyder's The Making of Modern Ukraine series but delivered by Marci Shore, a guest lecturer who has researched those events and written a book about it. Just do a search on those terms, it will come up.

NATO isn't telling either Serbians or Cubans that their language isn't actually a language, that they have always been... from NATO really (see, it already doesn't work) and that they are and always have been part of NATO. NATO hasn't abducted thousands of children to brainwash them into believing they're "NATO citizens". Because NATO is not a country, and is not trying to erase a whole people from the face of the Earth.

Learned helplessness is also what traps people, many of them women, in abusive relationships, and is deliberately cultivated by abusers through trauma bonding techniques. Incidentally, the phrase "trauma bonding" is a pretty good description of the russian nation's relationship with its successive governments, and certainly this one.

No one dug any sea, ever. Certain populations have historic links with certain territories - and others don't, so if they want those territories, because they are crap at resolving their own problems, they have to make stuff up to justify taking them by force. And then they end up believing those lies, which is how we arrive at sad specimens like yourself - and indeed putin.

No one would have decided to invade russia, besides Western countries were happy to do business with them and let russian oligarchs park their ill-gotten money in their cities... the only threat would have been to putin's long-term plan to invade Ukraine and use its people and resources to keep taking over European countries.

It would be great if we could refrain from expressing themselves like they do (if we could try, at least... it's really hard sometimes). The main problem with russians is not how many of them there are, or even how vile they are, but that they are people. Doing the things they do to other people.

Obviously I remain angry and devastated at all these unnecessary delays: the human losses incurred as a result can never be repaired. I just want you to know that I, along with many others all over the world, support Ukraine because I believe in you. Not in the "collective West", or NATO or whatever, but Ukraine. I know that Ukraine can and will win. 💙💛

  5674.  @pcoleman1971  Yup, that's his shtick - he's a one-trick troll. He doesn't even vary the lie that he pumps into the comment section of various videos, to prompt people to post evidence in replies that he reports and deletes: it's always *the same one*. Just as well that everyone knows it was MTG who first uttered those three words in that sequence, and that many people who have repeated the phrase since then have done it to call her out and make some comedy at MTG's expense.

  5675.  @johnconnor1847  Because when people do that, you report their comments to have them deleted. And I know this, because I've seen you do it in other comment sections.

  5724. Oh, the UK and US have definitely not forgotten how to bomb countries and groups that are smaller and weaker, and have no nukes - these strikes will achieve nothing positive, just ensure more terrorist attacks on our cities in the coming months and years. Supporting Ukraine from the very start of the full-scale invasion (or, you know, at some point in the 8 years before it started) would have had resulted in so much less unrest, violence and death. I just hope that the horrendous mistakes and undeniable war crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan, among other places, will have taught us not to kill civilians... but considering how many Palestinians have been murdered by Israel in the past few months alone, and how clearly uncomfortable our Western leaders are with that fact while still NOT calling for an immediate ceasefire, I just don't know. Let's not forget that the people of Yemen have been going through hell for years. And that many supporters of Ukraine were, like me, firmly against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and are to this day firmly against zionism and in full support of a free Palestinian state.

The perfect candidate doesn't exist, but many of the people who stayed home on election day, or "protest-voted", would have come out for decency and sanity if they felt they'd had a say in who ran on that side... Failing that, Biden should have stepped down when he finally decided to withdraw from the race: Harris could have campaigned on the job for a few months, just like Carney's doing now, and it would have made a difference. I'm watching this catastrophe unfold from the UK and I'm getting so sick of all these "right-thinking Americans" who won't hold Biden responsible for anything.

  5736.  @al_the_crow  to be fair to who, deluded internet trolls? Even the people who didn't know much about Ukraine before the beginning of the full-scale invasion have now been informing themselves for 18 months, so "just discovered" doesn't apply even in those cases - and I doubt that's "half" the people who support Ukraine altogether, I don't know how you worked that one out. But also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with not knowing much about a country, learning about it as it's defending itself from genocide, and forming an opinion about the whole thing.
    1
  5737.  @al_the_crow  "both siding" this war is like "both siding" the American Civil War or WW2, as trump famously did (and still does, I imagine). The partial observation of genocide is a failure of humanity, and that's what you're trying to do here, because this is a genocide that russian forces are committing in Ukraine. Fighting for survival cannot be compared to fighting to rape and kill, or even to fighting to survive when the person one was trying to rape and kill unexpectedly fights back. People who come up with the sort of argument you're making here turn my stomach in a way that even the common kremlin troll doesn't - so, for your sake, I actually hope you are one of them after all

Zelenskyy would have abused his power by calling the election under martial law, because the Ukrainian constitution does not allow the dissolution of parliament under martial law, and there's no point holding an election if parliament can't then be dissolved and re-formed. Besides, a vast number of Ukrainian citizens would not be able to vote this year because they are held captive by russia, or have been deported or a living under occupation.

Some of what you said made me think of the Calais "jungle", where so many people have lived while trying desperately to cross over to the UK, some of them being injured or killed on the way 😢 The part about rich Americans "slumming it" during the Great Depression reminded me of the 1936 movie My Man Godfrey, which I watched recently for the first time: the whole movie is on YT (trigger warning: some of the humour is pretty dated), and it begins with ultra-rich party goers fishing homeless guys from what I now understand to be a hobo jungle, in order to win a weird game. The premise makes so much more sense now! My Man Godfrey (1936) Full Movie (Comedy)

Do tell us in factual detail what makes this man, who is supporting a genocidal dictator and dragging his country into a war for the sake of remaining in power, a good leader

  5786. I've only noticed russian trolls calling this war "SMO". Are you a kremlin troll? If not, and you don't want people to think you are, call it "war" from now on, it's what it is.

  5787. I think he's doing it on purpose... he's daring the authorities to disqualify him, because then his cult will always be able to say that Harris/Walz didn't win, and there might even be another insurrection, much more violent than the one before. And if he doesn't get disqualified, he managed to push the boundaries even further, kept his cult members warm and instilled more fear in his opponents. Making that kind of statement is basically a win-win for trump.

  5788.  @nullanonsonemmenoiocosascr6676  I've just looked this guy up and he sounds like really bad news... It's never a good thing when someone dies in prison but it's something that happens in various countries (including the UK, where I live) whether or not they are at war. He was an active putin propagandist knowingly breaking the law in his country of residence, I'm glad he was arrested. He had pushed some abhorrent views over the years, and I'm sure he had a sizeable platform. We need to do our hardest to ensure that his death is not turned into political capital by others of the same ilk - by resisting comments like the one at the top of this thread.

  5792.  @nickfielding5685  Ah well, if you're going to spam the whole comment section with this ridiculous comment, I'm going to spam your inbox with my reply... at least my spelling is better than yours: @nickfielding5685 Crimea and the Donbas were occupied by proxy russian forces in 2014, as russians themselves have freely admitted since. I don't know how Zelensky would have broken the Budapest memorandum by recognising Kosovo, that literally makes no sense. Scotland is a nation in the UK that does have a strong independence movement, and I'm sure that once it does manage to achieve and declare independence, it will be recognised. Same with Wales. The problem with Catalonia is that they declared independence after holding a referendum without the permission of the Spanish government, and sadly with the way things work in the world at present, that's not a good idea. Kindly tell us what the russian federation would do to any of its regions that decided to declare independence, for example Tatarstan or Ichkeria... oh, wait. Yeah. Palestine is a nation that's been occupied by a terrorist fascist state for decades, aided and abetted by a number of supposedly civilized countries including the US and the UK. In my unwavering support of Palestine I never for a single minute forget that the obliteration of Ukraine at the hands of russia would not help Palestinians one jot.

  5799.  @ChiChi-809  You're not giving your tax money to Zelenskyy. The US is mostly donating equipment close to its expiry date, that it would have cost to dispose of, and using much of the aid to make more weapons, for yourselves, in the US, employing Americans. While Ukrainians are bleeding to stop their country from being obliterated and the rest of Europe being engulfed by war, your economy *benefits*. Besides, the latest loan comes from interest on confiscated russian assets.

Oh and throw in there Alaska too, since it hasn't been invaded yet. But you sound like one of the people who actually want the USA to turn into russia 2.0, so presumably you're happy now that process is well underway...?

  5804.  @dozersdady  I'm so grateful for your concern that I'm replying again, since I noticed that my first reply to you somehow got deleted. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the UK is not "falling apart", and the problem is not and has never been migrants, but rather the politicians who use migrants as scapegoats, and the people who listen to them. The latter are currently going to prison in sizeable numbers - which is what will happen in the US to anyone who tries to mess with the election results.

  5805.  @patrickkelly6691 There's really no reason to repeat the lies of the Israeli government and the IDF to argue against russian trolls. All the things whose apparent lack you quote as "proof" that a much smaller number of Palestinians than stated have been murdered by the IDF are all things that would happen in countries that are functioning as such - Palestine has been subjected to apartheid and genocide - bankrolled by our governments - for decades, and has been under siege for over a decade. Applying "first world catastrophe standards" to their response to this massacre is asinine, as well as racist.

  5806.  @frekihelviti The thing is, there are many points in common between russia's genocide in Ukraine and Israel's genocide in Palestine... including both perpetrators claiming ancestral rights over the land, and questioning the very existence of the nations they're going to so much effort to wipe off the face of the Earth. Which may be why Israel has been so ambiguous in its response to russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. That's why those trolls keep hitting that point: because they know it's the weak spot of many in Western countries, which have been bankrolling Israel's genocidal policies for decades. I wear both Ukrainian and Palestinian badges pretty much every time I go out: until we denounce both genocides at once, the dictators and their trolls will always be a step ahead of us.

Which will, incidentally, give him he political experience to run for president one day, if he wishes.

  5809. ​ @drsa5856 It's russia's invasion of Ukraine that stopped me from wishing NATO would disband... I hate everything about that organisation but at this stage in history it is definitely the lesser evil, and I understand why Eastern European countries want to join it. And why should other countries stop arming Ukraine, when Ukraine is simply defending itself from a totally unprovoked russian invasion? russia is the aggressor. Ukraine joining NATO, or even just the EU which was originally all they wanted, would have never threatened the rf's security and territorial integrity - no one would have invested the rf, because 1, other governments were happy to do business with putin & co, an 2, because it's stuffed full of nukes. The problem was that, once free from russia's grip, Ukraine would have developed into a much better, happier, more civilised country than the rf, with a higher standard of living, and putin didn't want his people to see that and start getting ideas. And that is what will happen eventually anyway, the rf will end up even poorer and more miserable than they were before they started invading Ukraine in 2014, and all this death and destruction will have been for nothing.

Because 1) the 1420 guys can't go to Kyiv (actual transliteration of the Ukrainian spelling, finally in use worldwide, if you hadn't noticed), because they're russian citizens, and 2) Ukrainians are fighting off the genocidal invasion of their sovereign country by a nation they posed no threat to, which has already attempted to wipe them out in the past. So there is really no comparison.

  5813.  @marcbush2796  The thing is, citizens of the rf have been so comprehensively fleeced by putin & co. for so long, that with a regime change they may still be better off paying into the Ukraine reparations fund than they are now, being ruled by a cleptocracy! Someone should crunch the numbers and make sure they reach the local population.

  5825.  @richardkalmwater5996  Ukraine is under attack from a much larger, aggressive country whose government has undeniable genocidal intentions - unfortunately it makes sense to start training more and more soldiers in case the war drags on. However, every now and then a troll - as I suspect you are - mentions "plenty of videos" of young Ukrainian men being chased down the street and forced into the army, when it's most probably russian propaganda recycling videos of collaborators getting jumped on by Ukrainian security services (I've seen quite a few of those). Meanwhile, the whole world knows that russia is sending untrained men, including those with serious chronic diseases, to get massacred for a few square kilometres of devastated ground soon to be regained by the defending army. Open your mind to the possibility that no one is buying your bs, regardless of how polished your syntax may be compared to that of the average troll. Слава Україні 💙💛

  5843. @88balloonsonthewall70  I haven't heard anyone who is pro-Ukraine denying territorial gains made by russia, but... rapidly?? 🤣 They've been trying to take over a much smaller and poorer non-nuclear country for *one thousand days*. And have lost hundreds of thousands of men in the attempt, not to mention much of the territory they were able to conquer in early 2022. They've also been invaded for the first time since WW2. The only reason the russian federation and its armed forces aren't a joke, imo, is that they're monsters committing horrific war crimes and threatening the whole planet.

  5844.  @yandex9188  Oh so you're one of those articulate trolls, you think you should be taken seriously because you can form proper sentences, that's how low the standards are in your culture nowadays. I can just imagine what would happen if I started saying that I believe any language is artificial and inferior compared to any other, but some russians, like yourself, think they should be indulged by the rest of the world when they make these pronouncements about Ukrainian. I happen to believe that the russian federation is artificial as a country, and vastly inferior to Ukraine and most other countries in that respect... but I was keeping that to myself because I didn't want to offend anyone. Thank you for helping me change my mind on that point. The only russians I should worry about offending are the ones who wouldn't be offended by such a statement, because they agree.

You want to know who the "bad guy" is? You are. And folks like you, tragically you number in the millions. Without you lot, trump would have made many people miserable - you're the ones who turned him into a danger to the entire world, whether by supporting him, enabling him, trying to gaslight those who call him out on his words and behaviour... it's despicable and most definitely not as intelligent as you clearly think you are.

If you were actually paying attention to his content over time, you would notice that a depressingly high number of younger people voice support for putin, and middle-aged or even elderly people who will openly criticise him are, if rare, not uncommon. Watch his other, more recent channel with whole interviews. Also, the other video uploaded by 1420 yesterday has Daniil's voiceover on an editing transition.

Where did I say that? putin been planning this for over ten years, there's evidence he had people destabilising the Donbas even before the Revolution of Dignity in 2013-14. And he has made it abundantly clear that he intends to "absorb" all the territories that were once in the soviet empire. Besides, anything short of the total defeat of russia will be China's signal to invade Taiwan. Ukraine's victory, on the other hand, will be a nail in the coffin of colonialism.
