Comments by "Neil Clay" (@neilclay5835) on "Anna from Ukraine" channel.

  1. It can be painful for me watching the actions of our western politicians, seeing them weak and not seeing this clarity. So, for a Ukrainian, it must be like shouting at the sky. Much love to you Anna.

  2. Incredible news, Ukraine continues to confound the sceptics. NATO should be asking to join Ukraine. Very best wishes to you for the new year Anna. Much love from the UK.

  3. Watching Lavrov and Carlson for any length brings a new meaning to, "Taking one for the team".

  4. The only journalist I know of that door-stepped Putin was the wonderful John Sweeney. Of course, he received a punch in his stomach for his troubles. That says everything you need to know about journalistic freedom in Russia! Best wishes to you Anna. Always be you.

  6. Our lovely Steve Rosenburg asked Lukashenko a question at a press conference today. It really showed how much of a bully the portly and foolish dictator is.

  7. Your pronunciation is fantastic Anna. You speak with what we used to call "Queen's English".

  9. My father worked for the UK Ministry of Defence for 35 years. His "take" is that he is glad that it is not being rushed. It is a very complex thing to do and once it is started there is no retry. Also, the structure of it will be different depending upon the weapons available, it is worth waiting a little bit for further weaponry if necessary. I'm glad that my country are providing some more advanced weapons, I just wish that NATO not prevaricating and was standing on Ukraine now, and pushing Russia back behind its borders and keeping it there. All the best to you Anna.

  10. I knew you were going to say, "in hell ..." Absolutely. I want to hear about them in Dante Alighieri's next book, and only there.

  12. "... , just like a disease." - such a fantastic line Anna.

  16. I think that introducing a bit of the history that has led up to these events is a great idea. Like you did at the start of this video Anna. Best wishes to you.

  17. Β @TheFrewahΒ  her books on Putin are how I started to become concerned that the west wasn't understanding who Putin was. May she rest in peace.

  20. Mr Vexler was using the F word (ends in "ascism") to describe this divergence of economics and the will of the """great""" leader.

  21. The grey men. Something that John le CarrΓ© commented on many times. Shoigu is close to Putin though. He wont fall out of a window. But his head might get stuck between prison bars.

  24. Well done Anna. For keeping together. For being who you are. It will be okay. But the west is self-obsessed and has become a child again. You show us what adults look like. Our countries are in for a very difficult growing up period. But in the end, it will be okay. Much love to you.

  27. It is high time ... indeed. It is fascism. And I am not used to it. I will never be used to this. And the west - in which I live - must stop being selfish, and must stand shoulder to shoulder with dear Ukraine.

  28. KYIV REPELLED A COMBINED ATTACK "OF" 10 BALLISTIC MISSILES - would be more correct. "WITH" makes it sound like Ukraine used 10 ballistic missiles to repel an attack. Sorry to be picky, I know you're an academic Anna and would rather be corrected. Best wishes. Π‘Π»Π°Π²Π° Π£ΠΊΡ€Π°Ρ—Π½Ρ–!

  32. I think Macron is being a fool. He blocked an EU decision to finance ammunition supply to Ukraine. He clearly doesn't understand Putin. I don't know how you get the energy to do your videos so regularly Anna. All the best to you. Peace and strength to Ukraine.

  34. Fantastic to hear Simone Weil mentioned. Her grave is actually just behind my parent's house.

  35. Ukraine has shown that it can punch way above its weight, that the people are generous, sophisticated, intelligent and have a wonderful distinctive sense of style. Europe should hope that it can join Ukraine!

  36. Did you see Zelenskyy's hug of the D-Day veteran today. Wow, that was moving, I had a tear in my eye.

  38. When Ukraine wins this, and the beloved Ukrainian people are able to be cathartic and let out the pent up emotions, I will come to Ukraine. I will come and be the older brother who is in the background of the party, making sure that you do not injure yourselves in the celebrations that you deserve so very much! God bless you all.

  39. The Ukrainian army is writing new text-books on fighting which are being read by NATO because they have an agility of thought and cunning which is beyond that taught traditionally.

  40. Russia is a terrorist state. No different to ISIS. The world needs to stand up and act now.

  41. I heard on the radio someone saying that, "we suspect that it's Russia". Really? Wow, no sh*t Sherlock.

  43. There is an extremely Agile software development industry in Ukraine.This methodology (Agile - it's a modern way of managing projects) is clearly being brought very successfully into the battlefield. I think it is vital to do this, actually.

  44. ODAB-1500 is a WMD, BY ANY MEASURE! I saw Jonathan on Silicon Curtain mention it. I expected it in the main stream media. Nothing was said. And nothing was said about the recent double-tap in Kharkiv. And now I'm writing to my political representative in the UK again. Anna, it is unfair. We should be absolutely shoulder to shoulder with you. We should be in Ukraine with you, pushing back the terrorist state.

  47. This will probably sound like a pathetic comment, especially when the subject matter is what it is. I just wanted to say that I think that your dark green nail varnish looks fantastic.

  48. They are thumbing their nose at the west, the west is trying to ignore the bully. I am ashamed that these people are my political representatives.

  50. When I was a child, I was on holiday in the Lake District here in the UK just after the Chernobyl incident. The sheep farmers had to bring all of their sheep in, and it was illegal to sell meat and milk produced from the area. A lot of people bought Iodine tablets and used them for a few days, so that any radioactive isotopes that had been breathed in were pushed out of the body quickly. My dad kept Iodine in a cupboard in his shed for years in case of another incident like that.

  52. Yes the international threat can be seen to be growing. Emboldened by western hesitation. I feel like we have forgotten who we are, and who we can be.

  53. I'm tired of those outside Ukraine who complain. How entitled can you be? Meanwhile a country trying to grow as a democracy, is fighting demons for us all. Even if you're only thinking of yourself - wake up. We're next if Ukraine doesn't win this.

  57. Β @tonymahon892Β  I find that Anna appreciates directness, and she's thanked me for the corrections in the past. Yeah, an absolute horror, that's why I'm a patron to her. Oh, and the 'g' in grammar shouldn't be capitalised πŸ˜†πŸ˜˜

  60. I think that social media distorts the reality of things. The people who say shocking things get a lot of engagement with their posts- they get the responses from people on their side, and they also get the responses from the people who are shocked at what they're saying. This gives them a louder voice. It is then easy to think that what they are saying is normal. I am not tired, and will never be tired. A single child even grazed lightly is an obscene act. Slava Ukraini!

  62. Now, this is my field, and it's been fantastic watching Ukraine push cheap remote robotic technologies into the fight so effectively. Now the Russians are catching up, but I'm quite sure that Ukraine will win the next technology paradigm soon with their jamming research. Slava Ukraini

  68. Leading on from Vlad's comment, my father who worked in the British Ministry of Defence for 50 years is utterly shocked at how Europe has not re-assessed its defence situation and hasn't gone into full production of defence armaments. Is it slow to wake to the threat? Or is it scared of Putin like a rabbit in the head-lights?

  69. Excellent documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vi1cQZLyG0

  70. Love to you Anna. I mouthed the question joyously with you as you said it.

  71. Surely this has to show the west that Putin is truly a coward and backs down when he is really threatened. So, it's time for NATO to be "all in" on Ukraine. NATO should move in now and stand on the sovereign country as a guarantor of protection. Russia shows cracks at the top.

  72. Belgorod Nights - sounds like a cheap hotel name, might be a bit chilly, "1 star, no working amenities".

  73. What never ceases to surprise me is how bad Russian propaganda is, and yet so many people believe it in the west.

  74. I think I said it on your channel Anna: my father worked at the UK Ministry of Defence for 40 years as a research scientist. He has always been of the opinion that it is actually impossible to win this war without this ability. And what is so frustrating is that the Russian media is saying that Ukraine is targeting Russian civilian targets - so they try to have it both ways. ** them. It's time for them to have a taste.

  79. I also feel and share your frustration Anna. Best wishes to you.

  80. Russians do nothing because of a very carefully constructed information environment which has purposefully depoliticised them over the course of more than a decade. They are not fundamentally different to other people. The machinery of that information environment is important to understand. Russia applying them in Belarus is what quelled the protests there. People need to understand these methods.

  81. The bully keeps getting punched in the face by the so called weakling. Poor bully, sniff sniff.

  82. I think that western governments think that if they put their head in the sand, the big baddie Russian will go away. I think it is also absolutely certain that they will regret that they have done that during this period.

  89. No where in the UN rules and constitutions is there an instrument to remove a country which breaks the original tenets that the UN was set up to defend. This is completely crazy and naive.

  90. Chernihiv is also of course an incredibly important cultural area. It was laid siege by the orcs for a period and I do not know how the churches there fared. I hope to god that there was not a lot of damage.
