  1. This is a very difficult video to watch... their life story really hit me, and the psychological shock is not something that is easy to take in. God bless these children! The parents are guilty for mistreating and abandoning their children like that!

  2.  @higherorderlogic6219  Out in the real world, I've meet many Russian and Ukrainian men/women who have emigrated to Canada-USA and they tell many that the poverty and economic despair in Russia/Ukraine is still very, very awful. Even before the war, and covid, Russia-Ukraine were doing much worse than the USA. Yes, America is not perfect, but the rates of alcohol abuse, decline in average IQ, drug addiction, prisoners per capita, poverty etc. Russia is doing much worse than the USA! And its not just Russia/Ukraine compared to Canada/USA. Before covid and the war, many Russians and Ukrainians in the 2000s and 2010s were leaving their homelands for Germany, Sweden, France, Portugal or the UK for better opportunities.

  3.  @brijohn6493  It really is. Recent war proves the point I made above about severe brain drain in Russia/Ukraine.

  5.  @VKBudo  Russia/Ukraine are still very poor countries. Even before the war, the former Soviet Republics still cannot feed most of its people. Compared to the USA, Russia/Ukraine are doing much worse in terms of social capital, economy and health index.
